When I was in middle school, I tried to learn how to crochet. I knew how to knit already, so I figured ‘how hard could it be’ and used my Christmas money on a brand new set of aluminum hooks and a how-to book.
To say it was difficult was an understatement. I spent hours pouring over my book, begging to gain some inkling of understanding from what felt like incomprehensible runes. My reward? One lopsided trapezoid of lumpy fabric and a resolve to never pick up a crochet hook again.
And so life went on, I finished middle school and high school without giving crochet so much as a second glance. In college, I read about how crochet couldn’t be replicated by a machine, it was unique in a way that knitting and many other fiber arts weren’t.
For Christmas last year, my girlfriend gave me what I now consider to be my most prized possession: a crocheted plush of my favorite pokemon. I raved over her skills and, since she never learned how to knit, we decided to have a yarn date at some point and teach each other our respective skills.
We never did get around to that yarn date. She passed a few months after our declaration, leaving me to inherit what was left of her yarn.
Nearly a decade after my initial attempt, I got ready for the toughest battle of my life. My weapons? One skein of yarn, a YouTube video, and a crochet hook that I had somehow never gotten rid of.
I slowly made my way through the video, redoing my work a couple times until I was satisfied with my product: a small, slightly misshapen rectangle.
I looked at my pristinely-made pokemon plush with hope for the first time in months and thought to myself, ‘maybe crocheting isn’t the hardest thing in the world, maybe you were just 12.’
Maybe this isn’t the hardest thing in the world. Maybe I’m just 21.

Crafters Can Scrapbook, but Memory Keepers Don't Have to Craft
MEMORY KEEPING 101: KEEP IT SIMPLE, OR NOT I started my morning by checking my email and since Memory Keeping is my business, I’m always on the look out for content, something I can post to my social media channels. I’d been writing blog posts the day before, so I really wasn’t looking for another one, but this one found me anyway. Creative Memories is a Heaven for Crafters Creative Memories…

I find it funny that Wild, who has basically a couple years ish of full life experience, comes up with the most insane theories for everything
He assumed that the only other explanation to Four being able to split in Four was. That he was quadruplets who'd been hiding this whole time???
Also apparently he believed that his wolf companion Twilight in botw was a diety (and felt very uhh shocked upon finding out that he was not)
Malon made things worse, telling him about her aliens theory
What's even FUNNIER is that every time Wild expresses any sort of confusion at magic stuff that he's never seen before, everyone else in the chain acts like it's crazy for him to be weirded out by it
Honestly maybe Wild's the only one with his head on straight, rather than everyone else who are just like 'it's magic bro' like no he's right this is weird
I appreciate this because it's very considerate of the fact that he woke up with no memories not too long ago, so he doesn't have much experience to explain the stuff that's 'normal' for the chain. Plus the explanations he comes up with are funny.
:)

Art and comic and adorable character by Jojo @linkeduniverse au :D
#I hope this made sense I didn't edit much#linkeduniverse#linked universe#Lu wild#djdjdjdkdjdkckdkxkgg#the 'this is normal it's fine' chain#and 'why is this tree speaking to me' wild#it's just. I mean. I'd have some pretty insane theories too ok#he has no idea why someone could split into four but he has seen two identical twins at a stable once so surely that's an explanation#he's literally so smart tho. like creativity and stuff? being able to pick up on new skills and concepts? he's a genius. a very goofy genius#aahh for his age I said 2 years of life context because he says he's 117 + Jojo said Lu is less than a year after his journey#also mental memories maturity and time awake is all so complicated#so I just said a couple years as kind of a base number idk#(aaaaand if i said anything offensive im sorry of course and none of this is meant as a criticism of wild but I love his crazy theories)#everyone's thoughts matter so much and I love you guys /gen <33#:)#and. I like this and it's funny and fluffy but if my angst writers wanted to get a hold of this O.O

meet gamma! he's a palm-sized green korbat plushie (from neopets), designed, patterned, and sewn by me.
#plushblr#safeplush#neotag#neopets#korbat#fun fact: gamma was made because i had a dream about a tiny korbat plushie like this#i took a few creative liberties to fill in gaps in my memory (my visual imagination is fuzzy at best)#but i tried to stay as true to the dream as possible#i don't plan on making more of these (the tail and wings were a pain) but i can share the pattern if anyone else wants to make one!#plush: gamma#sewn by me

I’m so tired of AI, and I’ve been yelling to the void about why people should be commissioning artists. In the spirit of anti AI/pro comms, what are your favourite commissions that you have worked on in the past and what was it that made them special or fun (commercial/non commercial) I’m absolutely obsessed with your stuff btw!
Oh thank you! And fun question! My top three will probably be the book covers I illustrated:
I’m working on two more right now and I’m pretty sure they’ll be up there as well!
These are some of my other favourites:
In order: Bharatanatyam dancer inspired spider-woman India, Alex and Henry for @orchidscript, Luke and Duncan for Isabella Renee’s book I Vote You Mr. Mayor, nanirimo’s OCs Niya and Marin, and heaventide_’s OCs Jonathan and Seph!
Also I’ve never posted any of these, but I think I have to give special mention to how many finn wolfhard cinematic universe commissions I’ve done 😂
Left to right: Richie and Eddie from IT, Boris and Theo from The Goldfinch, and Chris and Shannon from Finn’s directorial debut Hell Of A Summer!
I feel like this is the perfect time for me to plug that my commissions are now open again! 👀
#artovna#askovna#commissions#anon I appreciate you so much this was genuinely a lot of fun to compile#I was walking down memory lane remembering how all these commissions worked out#the Isabella renee one was so special because she gave me full creative control and I had a blast. I’m so happy she liked it too!#anonymous#and yeah FUCK AI.#firstprince#reddie#boreo#spider woman#it the movie#hell of a summer#the goldfinch

Wade: Do you ever just think about bees?
Logan: ... No?
Wade: Yknow bees are weird..
Logan: *confused but smiling slightly at Wade* Is that so?
Wade: According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground....
#wade then recites the whole bee movie script from memory for Logan#deadpool and wolverine#wolverine#deadpool 3#deadpool#poolverine#logan#logan howlett#wade#wade wilson#deadclaws#wolverine x deadpool#deadpool x wolverine#logan howlett x wade wilson#wade wilson x logan howlett#can you tell my creativity juice fucked off today?#i literally just thought#mmmmm bees#and that was the post today#i am wade#i am the one randomly thinking about bees

people are rightfully worried about AI and its influence on media and artists today but what really has me shook in the back of my brain is that 15-20 years from now we're gonna see tip-of-my-tongue discussion threads from covid gen adults who swear they remember an episode of spongebob where the characters stood around talking about the cybertruck's new jellyfishing compartment all while being bombarded with random cuts of mr krabs screaming and subliminal messages about the world ending in 2036
#it's already hard enough to track down lost media with false memories and mandela effects#imagine what it'll be like when the false memories were rooted in fake content ripped from real things#we're in the short term consequence phase rn where we're seeing the impact on jobs and creative fields#give it a decade and we'll be seeing the long term effects on culture and generational experiences
