Christmas Catalogues!!! 🎄

I found a website that has all the old Sears Christmas catalogues, all the way back to 1940!!! I love going through the ones from my childhood and pointing out what I want just like when I was a kid!

In addition to photographing insects, one of my other hobbies is collecting glass Christmas Ornaments. Simply, I love their colors and detailing, not to mention the sheer variety. The best thing about them though: the way that light touches them, causing them to shine and glitter magnificently. It is truly something to behold! Although I love them a lot, there are too many to buy and they are too expensive to have them all. As such, I strictly stick to the ones I like, which tend to be food and animals. Luckily, downtown Toronto's "Outer Layer" and "Juxtapose" stores always come through with a lovely selection of glass ornaments year after year. As such, this year a lovely new Luna Moth ornament has graced the tree. I have to say, Old World Christmas beautifully captured the look, essence, royal-ness and beauty of the Luna Moth perfectly. All the important details are there: the 4 eyespots, the 2 hindwing tails, the curvature of the wings, and the feathered antennae (implying this ornament is a male). Even the ornament's backside, little legs and eyes. I'm very thankful to have found it.

The Luna Moth is a perfect companion to my mother's glass Monarch Butterfly ornament (from the same brand, and the same ornament uploaded a few years ago). They both compliment and contrast each other beautifully thanks to their colors, curves and intricacies. Both capture the difference essential aspects of popular Lepidopterans wonderfully, but with some artistic license as well. Since they pair well together, I've placed them near each other on the tree (the Luna Moth is higher since the tails need room) towards the top. From the look of it, the Luna Moth is right at home on the tree; it is a creature of the forest after all. Of course, this insect won't become food for the nearby birds, green iguana, skunk and blossom possum. Admittedly, keeping a real life Luna Moth on an indoor Christmas tree would be quite difficult, so this glass representation helps with that, and it is quite eye-catching, even from a distance. While I'm making a big deal over these fun holiday trinkets and decorations, I truly believe that although the real life insect only lives in adult form for a week or so, it is far more beautiful, ethereal, majestic and worthy of adoration than even the finest ornament. To see one in nature is a delightful, awe-inspiring gift!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidaysl! Here's hoping for more lovely insect finds and insect ornaments to enjoy in the future. Bless you all!

A year or so ago, I made a compilation of all my Halloween-adjacent fics. This year, I meant to write something for Christmas, but never got the inspiration to, so I thought - oh! I'll make a list of all my Christmas fics! It turns out, there's only 2 I've written, so I've decided to also include any winter-themed ones, too. And by that, I mean one (1) one-shot. This is an embarrassingly small list, but I figured I'd make it anyway and hopefully be inspired to add to it later!

As with the Halloween one, ao3 links are the title, and if I or someone else made edits for them, that's in the (x) next to the title.

Christmas:

merry and bright (x)

four (x)

Winter:

Merry Christmas chat I drew all this while in a discord call watching my friend play Balatro

This is from 03.07.-16.07.24r. !

It was supposed to be for my 14 birthday but it's a little bit late. Anyway, it's a drawing of me and some of the characters I was really often thinking about since my last birthday, during the year to my next one. <3

(also it isn't shaded this time because I wanted to try coloring more basic this time and also because the markers I'm mostly using are dead or are in the process of doing so 💀)

The person in the middle of the drawing is me! :D

The other characters are:

♡Cassidy from Five Night's at Freddy's! ^^

I was inspirated by: @lazyazerty <3

I found their art on Reddit:

♡Squigly (and Leviathan) from Skullgirls! ^^ <33
