I had the extremely cool experience of getting to pre-order a friend's book from Barnes & Noble, and it was so exciting.

#elumish blogs #the book is so good #I've read at least two earlier drafts of it #I'll share it closer to the release date probably #but anyway it's a very cool feeling

Several weeks ago one of my coworkers called me over into her cubicle and gave me a very unexpected gift. Her mother passed away recently, and she'd been packing stuff up at her condo to give to relatives and sell, so the home could be sold. The mother was an avid knitter and crocheter, and when my coworker came upon her stash of equipment, she told me, she "immediately thought of me as someone who might get some use out of it."

So, I have inherited a varied collection of knitting needles and crochet hooks, cable needles, sewing needles, and, best of all, now-out-of-print pattern books, mostly for blankets, because that was what this lady loved to make most. Plus, I also have a bunch of gauge swatches she made, pinned to little bits of card covered in perfect schoolteacher handwriting setting out the patterns they were made to test.

And also...

My coworker brought another bag, full of yarn and...knitted blanket squares. Her mother's last started project, before she got too sick to continue. And she asked if there was anything I could do with it.

It turned out, there are twelve completed squares, and I quickly located the pattern book they are from amid those given to me. It's a book of 60 patterns, meant to be put together however the maker wishes into blankets of 20 squares. I figured out which of the numbered patterns were already made, and selected eight more that I thought might go well with them.

So now! I am working on completing! My coworker's mother's last knitting project!

And I really am feeling very good about doing it.

#kidk says stuff #knit #i love making blankets anyway and these patterns are honestly cool #i already have most of the equipment i'd ever need but i still feel warm and fuzzy having this old gal's stuff too #my coworker thought of me ;__; she's seen my scarves and the table runners and stuff i have in my cubicle #she gave me precious things from her mother's beloved hobby because she 'knew i wouldn't let them go to waste'!#i feel very much like a human being and a member of a community because of this idk it's just nice all right?#crafts #blanket completion project

Yearning from the nothing dimension [rambling in tags ^^]

#i really couldn't make a version with a bunch of eyes that i was happy with on the bottom part #and then i realized thats fine and not everthing is going to look cool and awsome all the time. kinda emphasizes the space though.#anywho do you ever think about how lonely it must be in the tree or dark side of the moon. like all you can do is watch and wait #imagine falling in love with someone you can only see glimpses of #someone who you just found your mind wandering closer and closer to untill you realize just how happy they make you and how they make #the vast emptiness of a prison feel because your so far from someone whom doesn't even know you exist #Anyway!! had some thoughts about sm I'll probably draw more laterrrrr bc I just cant draw today ^“^#cookie run kingdom x reader #shadow milk x reader #shadow milk cookie x reader #i hope my rambling made sence to someone. im not very good at articulating myself

(guy who has never played cotl) haha au time

#this started as a design exercise bc i couldnt get sphinx/devon rex narinder out of my head #but the whole time i was thinking man imagine if the lamb brings him in as a follower but nobody knows he was actually. you know #and the followers are like haha wow our leader channels the power and wisdom of the one who waits almost as if they were them #would that be cool or what. anyway heres narinder reassuming his pre-bishop form and everything his flesh remembers before godhood #ok now im gonna ramble abt design notes #the singe marks were inspired by fallen angels like how some ppl say they burned while falling from heaven. i wanted smth like that when #the lamb is resurrected by nari.. their outfit is inspired by papal cloaks while narinders is based on crusader armor #the lambs name 'bellwether' is also a term used for sheep that wear a bell and lead the flock and i thought that was cool #idk what the thuribles do yet but i do have smth in mind where theyre linked together. and ofc the lamb has a shepherds staff #very proud of nari's little devil tail!! and it was hard to see bc its so dark but he has wrinkles around his forehead to conceal his #third eye. even he isnt aware of it (for now)#idk where im going with this au i just have a bunch of ideas?? basically the lamb is keeping nari's identity a secret from him so he doesnt #go down that path of powerhungry destruction. smth like trying to lead him down a better path but feels guilty lying to do that #also theyre in love with each other and theyre stupid pining idiots abt it. mwah #cult of the lamb #cotl #cotl lamb #cotl narinder #the one who waits #cotl the one who waits #narilamb #art #au #myart #my art #character design #cotl au #false prophet! au

erik will genuinely jump at any chance he can to steal charles' last name and be so catty about it i know this for a fact WHAT is his deal

[Magneto (2011)]

#cherik #snap chats #if i had a nickel every time erik went by 'mr xavier' at some point id have two and its making me wheeze #like at least the first time it was to be headmaster or whatever so it at least makes sense but vjaevlEVEKJV WHY #needed our mandatory charles mention for the magneto issue ig alright ill take it #legit tho why did he feel inclined to steal charles name vjelkvjeaklj like his names 'erik magnus' in this #while i was trying to answer that fashion ask i stumbled upon this thing and gave it a quick read #its only one issue and fairly short so why not #Context Squad I Guess this issue's just sharing the first time erik moves to new york #hence. stealing charles name i guess vjaLVKJAJKL like girl you didnt do anything evil yet ..... alright .... just to be sure ig...#do you ever think he freezes getting called mr xavier or is he so used to it at this point #maybe he twirling his hair and giggling to himself every time he hear it idk #oh but yeah he didnt do anything evil yet. he actually gets his suit in this issue from a woman named cassandra .....#not charles sister of course but still im laughing anyway because he wants her to join him in his Not-Brotherhood group #and shes like 'i met you like five days ago youre insane' and the sort #its an ok read. its unnerving seeing erik smile so much- especially so broadly but its not like. an offensive issue. its standard #it does the job on sharing the story. not that im a critic of any sort vjalkjkaLJ #at the very least it's implied erik has a notable accent in this so thats very cool 🥰#its always cute whenever erik admits hes a drama lover too like vjeLVJEalkvjelkj like at least hes self aware this theater kid 😩#ok bye ive been meaning to work on something but ive been running around all day valkvjkae

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

#wax seal #crafts #wax stamp #stationery #Window one is kind of stinky.. I was imagining like a swirly night sky sort of looking thing so it would be a surreal contrast of a night #sky with a window in the middle that shows a daytime sky - but the silver and purple wax kind of mixed too much together #with the black and it just looks very plain black and not all that starry or anything hjbhj.. Of course the eye is probably my favorite #since all I ever do is draw eyes and still like eye imagery for some reason. The four leaf clover is very lumpy and skrunkty but also it wa #the smallest in size out of all of them so was easier to do multiple stamps of just to try it out.#The heart with eyes wax is actually more swirly in person. I wanted it to be a mix of light pink and red and white. and the wax #did kind of all blend together but in person you can definitely see MORE of the intentional swirlyness. in this it just looks plain pink.#I was going to do one eye in the heart but it looked weird. but now two seems too plain. i could have done 3?? in a pattern.. hmm #alas. I wish I could make actual metal ones. With the clay i have to paint them in a thin layer of olive oil before stamping because #otherwise the wax just kind of gets stuck in the grooves of the clay and then you can't pull it up. Very wacky ''unprofessional'' looking #set up where I'm hot gluing circles of sculpey clay to short stumps of a wooden dowel that I sawed apart with a serrated bread knife #and then using an old paintbrush to put olive oil on them whilst holding a spoon over a yankee candle flame hjbjh #ANYWAY.. I think if I were middle class/rich/etc. this would be one of the main things in my crafting room is like.. SO many colors #of wax. and all different custom made stamps designed by me. which could be much more elaborate in actual metal.. muahaha.... >:)c #RHGghhh... I actually don't want to talk much about it since (this is probably just my Obsessed With My Own World Artist Delusions) I #think I have a really cool idea for a game that could genuinely be successful if i ever get to make it and I don't want to give #everything away and spoil the whole plot/concept in hopes that one day I can actually do it - BUT - a game that I'd like to make after the #visual novel I'm making now has partially to do with the main character working as a sort of writer/scribe/artist assistant in an elven #city (set in my world/with my worldbuilding species and versions of elves and etc) and I was thinking of maybe incorporating #somehow being able to collect little writing type items like these like.. you can get different wax seal patterns or pens or etc. when I do #stuff like this in Real Life it always makes me think of that like.. ouh... this is good research.. what it shall be like to be a littol #elf collecting wax seals and such.. indeed... GRR i need to be finished with my current game NOWWW... i MUST work on other #thingss... aughh... ANYWAY.. yay. accomplishment to do One Single Thing other than Sit In The Summer Heat And Rot #though also hilarious as this was the first cool-ish day that was below 80F in a while hgvh #waking up like 'wow.. i actually feel okay today?? like I could do things?? how mysterious.. I wonder why..?? :0'' Its The Weather You Fool #Tis Always The Weather

"The she-wolf laid into the squires with a tourney sword, scattering them all. The crannogman was bruised and bloodied, so she took him back to her lair to clean his cuts and bind them up with linen."

thinking about how mulder loves to get scully a gift, usually terribly heartfelt, even if disguised as something flippant:

the superbowl vhs tape he brings her when she wakes up from her coma in one breath (and her deadpan "i knew there was a reason to live")

tickets for a football game to watch together in irresistible

bringing her flowers to the hospital in memento mori (he lies, saying he stole them from a guy with broken legs to make her laugh)

the birthday keychain in tempus fugit (and when she finds a meaning to it, he claims "i just thought it was a pretty cool keychain")

that is a man who is always thinking about her.

#you can just picture him at the store thinking “oh boy she's gonna love this :)”#i think the superbowl vhs one chokes me up the most because he's trying so hard to play it cool when he had just lost her #and he needs to break the ice somehow because he hates to put those big feelings into words #he's more into saying what he means with touch and subtext #it's as if he needed SOMETHING off of the shelf at the store to say “i'm glad you're back. i missed you. i hope you're well”#so he goes with a dumbass VHS she is never going to watch. just to see her recognize his coded declaration of love.#and that exhausted smile she reserves for his antics #and it makes me tear up! still! thinking about it!#i know love languages are problematic but i do think there is something underrated about giving gifts as an act of love #of having your thoughts for someone being represented with a physical object. making that love tangible. you can touch it.#(it works very well on me because i tend to assume if you're out of sight you're not thinking about me)#(so looking at a little trinket someone gave me is like oh!!! they actually are thinking about me often. enough to find this Thing)#anyway. that is my emotional ramble for the evening. please enjoy #AND DISCLAIMER: i am sure there are other examples of him giving gifts i forgot and that there are more yet to come #but as a reminder i have only seen up to s5 ep 3 so! pls no spoilers even if i do tag this for the general public #okay promise? promise no spoilers in the tags? thank youuuuu mwah #the x files #txf #msr #fox mulder

Curtwen Week Day 6: Happy Ending

#I like to believe that there is a universe where they get to grow old together #just one #look once upon a time I read a fic that had me bawling my fuckin eyes out where they get to grow old together #I do want to say that I believe in personal growth and I think that Curt can 100% have a happy ending without Owen- where he can grow #away from that experience and where he can healthily cope with the trauma he ended up with #where he can find solace in something other than alcohol and where he can find it in himself to forge new relationships and build his #connections with people like Tatiana #etc etc #I just want to make it known that this is one of many happy endings that could happen #(amongst the several sad ones that I know also exist)#ALSO I wanted to draw the old men and I do what I want #but yeah something something if the universe is infinite /ref #maybe this is a universe where the banana incident never happened and they were able to retire together #ough #the curtwen feels are really getting me today #I adore them #also I used a new brush ive been having fun with this past week #doesn’t it look cool?#I really like drawing with it and I like how it looks so #we might be seeing more of this one in the future #although 6b is still my guy #damn y’know hypothetically- if Owen (depending on the au) and Curt lived to be in their 60s (at least) they would witness the first Pride #god can you imagine that?#At the very least Curt being around for stonewall and everything that came after that with queer rights #FUCK anyways #fun fact: a group of frogs is called an army #isn’t that cute #reminds me of that one person on TikTok that raised like a thousand frogs- they had a literal army of frogs #crazy #curtwen week

Shockingly underrated thing about Leo is that he’s legitimately charming when he wants to be?

He’s the Faceman! He’s persuasive! That’s not just some random title he gave himself with no backing to it. People will listen to him. Even if they think he’s being annoying or if they’re upset at him, people listen to him anyway! There’s a reason his bros push him out front to talk to people, and when this happens, that talking nearly always works.

Moreover, Leo knows people. He looks at them and takes into account how they act and what they’re like as he makes his way through the conversations. It’s easy to forget this aspect of Leo’s character because he only brings it out when he really needs (read: wants) to, but it really is a notable part of him that always love to see.

And I say charm in particular because he has a knack for not only getting people to pay attention, but for getting people to stay and listen to what he has to say.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #I feel like people equate Leo to a lot of loud gross boy behavior instead of looking at his actual accomplishments #which fair enough #he IS a loud gross boy a lot of the time #but his charisma really deserves a mention for how much it comes in clutch #that one cut animatic of the other people in the resistance wanting Leo to join them for karaoke like #and yes those inspiring speeches he gives his fam are also an example of charm #bro has! charisma! he can have his loser moments and at the same time show off how to manipulate through words #Leo knows people and if he really wants to he can talk them up #but yeah like - I see people calling him the face man a lot but not so much taking into account what that entails #he’s got a pretty face! and he’ll do the talking a lot! but that’s not all a face man is #another thing that is SHOCKINGLY underrated in fandom is Raph loving fighting???#I have no idea why but I feel like I don’t see this mentioned enough #he adores wrestling and roughhousing and training and just FIGHTING in general plz let my boy punch something #I have more I wanna say but it’ll have to wait until later it is very late haaa #anyway my main point behind this post is that Leo knows people and in turn knows what they WANT #it is this same perception that makes him REALLY GOOD at getting under people’s skin too #people skills and adaptability really make sense when you take into account the fact that he’s a red eared slider #it really is cool to see how much this part of Leo is addressed throughout the series #nearly always in very lowkey ways
