#and i crochet while i watch tv

[innitmarvellous]

I know, it's getting boring already, but I finished another virus shawl. But the pattern is just really addictive, and it looks so good with variegated yarn, so I just went on and on...and it won't be the last time I used the pattern. I'll probably have loads of these things in the end, so I kinda wish I could sell them. I don't think I really do it, but still.

Genuine question tho because I've no idea about the pricing of that kind of stuff: does anyone know whether I could ask people to pay me 5€ for one of these? Or would that be too much? I mean, the yarn cost more than that, so I wouldn't be exactly ripping anyone off, but idk... I mean, you could probably get some kind of scarf etc for less from a thrift store of something, so I'm not sure 🤔

Do u make any art???

i make lil movies:3

thinking about the fact that Jack Wolfe played Wylan in Shadow and Bone

and that Wylan is the son of a merchant (mercher)

and that Jack Wolfe also played Nadbor in The Witcher

and that Nadbor is the son of a merchant

it's like he has a preferred type of character to play

[tocourtdisaster]

Why do I always end up choosing patterns that require a lot of weaving in at the end? 😫

Anyway, it's (mostly) done and it only took all five seasons of Babylon 5 and almost all four seasons of Rebels to do.

Anyone else find themselves dismissing their current elevated pain levels purely because they remember what it felt like to have even worse pain and because it's not THAT high it's not actually THAT bad?

Like. Using my pain chart I know I'm bouncing between a 7 and an 8 today. But because I remember how bad it feels to be at a 9 or 10, my brain keeps telling me to suck it up and that I'm over exaggerating or whatever.

i spent my whole day thinking about how much i wanted to draw and then when i finally was in my room with my tablet i started a crochet project instead bc that found its way into my hands faster

[fortes-fortuna-iogurtum]

I am trying so hard to save money lately, but it is so hard, especially when there are so many things that make me want to spend. the latest temptation is that I really would love to participate in a Make-Along this spring, but don’t know if I can justify spending $60+ on the yarn kit for it (especially when I already have a whole closet-full of yarn from my workplace from when we had a big inventory clear-out last year)

[copperhawkthoughts]

Had a last minute crisis over the design for my Cad project, ordered a bunch more yarn from a little store in North Battleford, Sask., now patiently waiting for Canada Post. Meanwhile I have no crochet project and it is rapidly growing

In between knit/crochet projects and I literally do not know what to do with myself I am looking for a new project like an addict looking for drugs. How did I live before fixating on this shit so severely

Okay, so yarn posting I guess, but I saw a tiktok where the creator was talking about buying yarn and at the edge of the frame they had two of the Caron Big Cakes on top of each other and for a split second I thought it was one of the giant Caron Anniversary Cakes even though it's still a couple months before their release, and I transformed into a feral yarn demon.

I'm going to drop like $200+ dollars on this yarn when it comes back. I am a one trick pony when it comes to crochet and I just want to make blanket after blanket with the Caron Anniversary Cakes. Why is my perfect yarn a once a year release?

Going to start telling all my friends and family that I will make them a free blanket if they buy me yarn. Literally all I want to do is make blankets.

Hmu if you want a giant blanket, you pay for yarn and shipping. (Half joking but i'm actually so serious)

This took me about six and half seasons of DS9 to make but it’s finally done! The only downside is that now I need to figure out something to work on during the last half of season seven.

[alsikeclovers]

I'm bad at just resting :(

[sensitivegoblin]

[sexlapis]

⤷ cw : jealousy, doubt, a little bit of arguing, angst to fluff but not too bad :)

actor! toji x gn actress/actor! reader

a/n: i decided to put these two asks together. great minds think alike!

masterlists

actor!toji masterlist

you regret coming here.

arms crossed, lips downward, and brows so furrowed that they basically cast a shadow over your eyes as you watched toji and his…co-worker from afar.

toji was played a minor role in quite a popular tv series and that popular tv series included a..love interest. now of course, toji asked you first if it was okay - he would’ve never agreed to the role if it made you sad or uncomfortable. being the good partner that you were, not wanting to limit his career choices because of your own feelings, you easily gave him permission to do so.

you’re starting to regret that too.

the actress is so obviously into him, which of course wouldn’t have been a problem if toji wasn’t your boyfriend. she has been like this all of the times you have visited toji on set. you two haven’t decided to go public yet, but god right this second, you wish you had.

and she is gorgeous. tall, long and silky brown hair, bright green eyes, a model-like visage…you attempt to push down that nasty feeling of jealousy that builds up inside of you, but it’s useless. you hated seeing this, really. and if you are honest with yourself, you’d admit that you never want toji to take any acting roles where he would have a love interest, because you hated seeing toji being lovey dovey with another person. even if it was just ‘acting’.

toji sits in his directors chair on his phone while the model stands besides him, speaking. you can’t hear what they’re saying, but she’s clearly trying to look attractive for him - twirling her hair, discreetly pushing her cleavage together, biting and licking her lips…you know your boyfriend was hot but god, does she have to be so obvious? it made you kind of sick.

and then she does something unbelievable.

the model runs her finger up toji’s bicep, circling around him like he’s prey to stand behind where he sits and starts massaging his shoulders.

your jaw is basically on the floor at this point, shocked at her audacity (even thought she is doing this under the assumption that toji is a single man).

toji eyes widen a little, and he looks a little awkward. and then he looks up at her and smiles.

smiles?

your eyes wander around and you see that the crew members are also looking at this little display of…whatever the hell it was. they whisper amongst themselves, taking small glances at where you stand and you decide you’ve seen enough, already embarrassed enough, you leave the set without saying goodbye to toji. you want nothing more than to return home to the comfort of your apartment.

౨ৎ

it’s the next day and you haven’t spoken to toji since that..incident.

you decide to distract yourself with baking, reading, crocheting, painting, all of your hobbies to make you forget about what happened yesterday.

sure, you could just speak to toji, but this has happened twice now, so you think you have the right to give toji a little silent treatment.

you’re laying on your couch reading a booking when your phone buzzes on the coffee table. sighing, you pick it up, unlocking it. there’s a message from your friend shoko.

————

shoko

[link] ???????????

————

you hesitantly click on the link, lowkey scared for what it is. it’s a celebrity news article from a few hours ago, talking about how toji and his new co-worker are dating.

“inside sources have told us that toji and his co-worker, a model playing his love interest, are dating! sorry tojiyn lovers, your ship has sank!”

it’s mocking wording pisses you off and makes your eye twitch. no matter how long you have been famous for, the lies of the media are something you will never get used to.

————

shoko

it’s already trending on twitter…

————

that sets you off and you throw your phone across the room, screaming in your hands.

it was probably those crew members, you thought bitterly.

there is a knock at your door. that’s odd, you weren’t expecting any visitors or packages today.

sighing, you walk over the door but not before looking through the peephole first. the sight has you huffing.

you open the door and there stands toji.

“you ready to talk to me now or what?” he asks in his usual brash, straightforward manner.

you’re already walking away to the kitchen to make yourself tea, leaving the door open as an unspoken invitation. “wow, not even a ‘hello?’ she really has changed you, huh?”

“what?” toji walks to where you are, careful not to make any sudden movements that would piss you off more than you already are, “who’s she? what the hell are you talking about?”

you grunt, setting the water to boil and taking your favourite mug out. you turn to retrieve a teabag but toji is cornering you, pressing and trapping you against the counter.

“ugh, toji!” you groan, trying to escape his arms for barriers but he doesn’t budge.

“no.” he says firmly before taking on a softer tone. “talk to me..please.”

crossing your arms, you lean back on the counter and look at the floor. “what’d you wanna know?”

“i wanna know why you ain’t talkin’ to me.”

“i don’t know why don’t you go ask your new girlfriend!” you shout, ashamed to admit that a few tears formed in your eyes after that outburst of yours.

“my new-? _____, what are you…oh…this is about her.”

“her who?!” you almost shout again, impatient and throwing your arms around. “the one who you let just fucking touch you and massage you all the time?”

“oh, baby.” toji sighs, cupping your face, wiping the tears that you didn’t even know started to fall. “i know, i know. i shoulda told her to cut it out way sooner than i did..jus’ didn’t wanna make shit weird on set. but that don’t matter, i shoulda done it to make you feel okay..’m sorry..”

you hum, nuzzling your cheek into his palm. you missed his touch even thought it had only been a day.

i’m so lame.

toji hugs you and you wrap your arms around his waist, resting your face on his pectoral.

“..and i did tell her i’m with someone.” you look up, afraid he told her about your relationship. “i didn’t tell ‘er it was you, don’t worry. ‘said she was sorry and won’t push any boundaries.”

“…you believe her?” you ask, honestly doubtful and still a little jealous because of that whole fiasco.

“well, ‘m just gonna have to.” he kissing the top of you head before pulling your face away from his chest, making you look up at him. “but hey, you don’t gotta worry about anythin’ like that, sweetie. seriously. i only have eyes for you. nobody else. i…i only love you.. believe that.”

“toji..” you warble, pushing your face into his chest again.

toji chuckles, face a little red due to his own words and speaks again. “but you gotta promise me you’ll just talk to me if i do somethin’ that makes you sad, okay? i don’t wanna go around pissin’ my girlfriend off all the time.”

you laugh, sniffling. “yes, i promise.”

toji smiles down at you, kissing your forehead. you both stand there embracing each other for a few moments before he decides to break the silence.

“why don’t you make toji some tea too? ♡.”

a teabag is thrown in his face.
