#crochet headphone cover

[oystermustroom]

I did succeed in mending my headphones (the earpiece covers were torn quite badly and the foam was too damaged to just sew back together).

[thehousecrochet]

cover for the band of my headphones i made using the lace star flower stitch (according to pinterest)

i wasn't sure of this at first, but the longer i look at it, the more i like it. still unsure if i'll keep it on there, but i want to post the Ws as well as the Ls, so to speak.

Ume-chan is the type of guy who isn’t embarrassed to hold/carry his s/o’s purse—no matter how girly the design/color is—all day when the both of you are going on a date outside 🥰

kisa . i am inconsolable right now . i’m never shutting up about that selfship art .

u are absolutely so right !! and also? if ur heels r hurting you, he’ll bend down n take them off for u— let u hold onto him/ balance urself on his back (doesn���t even flinch when you push all ur weight on him bc u almost fell over!), then he’s got u on his back so he can piggy back ride u home !! n he’s holding ur heels in his free hand ):

(Too shy to say off nonny, sorry.) But I love your writing. Especially that it explores more than the sexual side of romances. I love to interact with the world in a way less driven in such a manner. It's a lovely change to see your writing in my sphere.

But also:

We have you meeting Nyx's family and fitting into his world, but what about trying to fit him into yours?

(never apologize, anon is on for a reason 👍)

I'm so so happy my blog can offer that for you! It's such a bummer each time I find some romantic buildup "plot sweet fluff they fuck." "Plot wholesome- they did this all just to fuck." "Romanc- they did it for sex."

And that's no problem! If people enjoy that then they can there's nothing wrong with enjoying sexual things, but as an asexual who is romantically attracted to folks(monsters mostly) it's disheartening to have almost every story end the same way so I have to skip huge chunks or just not read.which really minimizes how many stories I really have available

As for the idea you have!

Writing about families is far less reader inclusive so what I'm going to do is a brief overview that mostly is gonna focus on Nyx just being brought into the more human side of the world.

And with that in mind!

It takes time. And patience. Nyx is a bundle of nerves, and he loves you his wonderful human so much! But he's still terrified. Because you're sweet and good and know how to be gentle. Not every human does, and telling them apart is difficult at first.

Having to watch you and every other human tear through meat down to the bone at some restaurants (I'm craving ribs) takes him some time to not feel like he's about to fly out of his seat. So you compromised, he would never ask you not to eat something, but you do offer to cut whatever meat you're eating off the bone cause it seems to help his nerves.

The swarm and crowds of humans are so much larger than him, and so very loud for his delicate rabbit ears. Headphones and earbuds don't exactly work given his... Ear shapes.

What does work is a beanie he can tuck his ears into, or a crochet scarf(grandpa bun at it again) wrapped around his ears and head enough to cover them. It muffles the sounds.

Carry him. Please carry him, his legs are rabbit legs, his hind paws are rabbit paws no shoe can fit that and he refuses to wear dog shoes. Pavement is hot. Piggy back ride or sling him over your shoulder, if he's off the ground he's happy. (moreso if you show off that human strength)

Hates transportation at first. It's different, he walks or hops everywhere and now he just has to sit still and wait to get there? No. Give him the backseat to move around or find a bus that's not crowded so he can stretch his legs, y'all will not survive otherwise I'm sorry but ultimate "gotta move" attitude.

Other humans will scare him. You do, but in the attractive "this is my partner and they're so capable I love them so much" kinda way. Other humans set off danger alarms 24/7 that you only set off 11/7. It takes a good amount of time and slow buildup in exposure to combat this. If any human gets too close and doesn't hear him when he says to leave him alone(something you and him did practice) then he will fall on instincts and just bolt. So once you lay someone out in the asphalt, you gotta find the bun.

General aside, into family's. This is based around a loose idea of mother father siblings just because that's what I'm most familiar with

Absolutely prey fear in his eyes. Deer in the headlights when your folks opened the door to greet y'all together for the first time. You might have to actually carry him into the house and just sit with him for a few minutes, cuddle him a bit somewhere alone because he's in a human den of unknown humans. He needs to adjust to the many different scents and sights and sounds. And even if you vouch for them, these humans aren't you- he doesn't trust them the way he trust you and his instincts are absolutely screaming. 0/10 experience for the first few minutes.

Let him take his breaths and he'll gather his nerves to greet your family- but the best way would be to do so one by one. Otherwise it's another overwhelmed break time.

Eventually he might relax enough to rest around them, but Nyx absolutely will never sleep around any humans if you are not actively attached to him in that moment. He'll lay and lounge if he's really exhausted but will never sleep around your family or friends or any human if you aren't actively holding him or just close enough he can feel or at least smell you.

Humans are scary, they won't ever feel safe to him, that's just instinct. But you're his human, his partner. He'll sleep like a baby in your arms if it's just the two of you, and even if he wakes and has a heart attack because why are your eyes dilated in the dark and staring at him?

He's always gonna be a bunny boy. Always gonna be a bundle of nerves and hardwired red flag instincts because he is prey.

He can grow to trust and care about your family, but only really because they're an extention of you, selfish as it might seem.

[theninjazebra]

It's been a time, and I'm trying to psych myself up to go to work tomorrow (😭) so here's a self-reminder of the things that have helped so I practice them this week:

1. Be generous with compliments and positive feedback - not mindless positivity, but if u think a nice thing fuckin tell the person.

2. Fuck dignity - if embarrassing trash music is how u get up and go then just play it (on headphones, holy shit, no one else should suffer).

3. Look, if u already can only sleep like 3 hrs a night then u really do have to eat literally anything. If sweetened yogurt is the thing that makes having breakfast happen then just admit defeat, buy it and fuckin eat it. If u don't eat - migraines, and there is literally no one left to cover for u, so FUCKIN EAT.

4. Make time for personal creativity (art, writing, crochet, whatever), u literally go insane without it.

5. While u are new, and still learning the job u got dropped head first in, you're not a child. U are a grown adult human. Behave like it and you will feel less helpless. If you don't know something? Ask. If you want something done or to be different? Do it.

6. The gentle, collaborative, compassionate thing works, you know it does, don't let fear, doubt, and idiots tell you otherwise. And it doesn't make you a pushover.

7. Ur going to fuck up and fail regardless - may as well do it with grace and humility. You're going to fail anyway, no reason to punish urself or anyone else. Ur going to fail anyway, you may as well have a laugh.

8. Don't forget ur water bottle. Or ur busstop. Or ur headphones. Or keys.

[smile-files]

i'm at the pizza place near campus and there's someone around my age with a really cool outfit... headphones with a crocheted apple cover... skirt covered with butterflies... colorful knit vest... yellow rain boots... i want to compliment them so bad but i'm nervous :'D what should i do

[kahvilahuhut]

breakfasts in small cafe

Summary: Klara goes to get a breakfast from a cafe she often visits, and plans to do some works and university stuff at the same time. In there, she meets a guy who recently joined their student organization's even committee, and decided to talk with him for a moment.

Warnings: No specific warnings, just fluff. There's food mentions, though.

---

Klara took off her headphones and put them in her bag as she entered the corner cafe. The barista waved to her while writing something on a paper - they already knew her order and name.

A vanilla yoghurt, scrambled eggs + a cheese sandwich. A glass of apple juice and a cup of coffee, with one small piece of chocolate left in it to melt.

Klara loved this cafe. It was barely known by most of the students and seemed to always be very calm - that is, until the evening. That's when it turned into a bar and cheap restaurant combo that many who lived here seemed to love.

She walked to the counter, greeted the barista and ordered the usual, though this time with their handmade granola bar, as a snack for the afternoon seminar. The barista brought her drinks as she paid for the order and told her to pick a table and wait a little. Klara thanked her, picked up the juice and coffee, and turned around to look for a free table.

The couch seats were all taken, which Klara didn't really mind. She needed a spot where she could charge up her laptop, if she really wanted to finish the presentation before the seminar. Plus, there were all the work emails and reports she had to go through.

A window seat, which she usually went for, was a good choice. The problem with it was that it was hiding behind a small wall for another couch seat, which meant she had to go and see if it's free.

But surely she could be a bit persuasive, for all that rare autumn sunlight.

As she suspected, it was taken - by a surprisingly familiar face. The new guy whom Leon invited into the event organization team.

Tobias was sitting there, leading into the back of the chair and crocheting something, one earphone in the left ear and the other earphone hanging around the right ear. Klara was surprised to see someone else use the ones that have wires - though they were clearly more popular than the wireless ones outside of her social circle, considering how they have persisted for two centuries.

He seemed to have half forgotten the breakfast he' was eating. An egg bagel on one plate - half eaten already, without the bacon that is usually there - an oat porridge, and a large latte, with a glass of water. Klara has never seen anyone order the oat porridge, either.

"Uh, hey. Fancy running into you. Mind if I sit here?"

He took off his earphones and gently threw them into his tote bag. "Hey! I don't mind at all, go ahead," he reached to move his porridge plate and coffee cup to make more space for her. "And yeah, I know, right? This is my favorite cafe here, though I rarely get to visit it during breakfast. Mostly simply because I live quite far away from here, but also because I rarely wake up to make it here in time for breakfast." He yawned, clumsily covering his mouth with whatever he was crocheting. "Uh, sorry. Had to wake up earlier for an interview today and decided to, well, treat myself after it. A bit expensive for my budget but you gotta enjoy life sometimes, am I right?"

Klara nodded as she placed the apple juice and coffee on the table, and put her bag next to the chair. "Cool, hope the interview went well," she watched him shrug a bit, then continued while sitting down, "Uh, weird question. If I may ask, how do you know about this place? No one seems to know about it when I ask them."

"Ah, well. When I was moving in I got a bit overwhelmed by all the boxes I had to unpack and decided to go for a short walk... Which then turned into a several kilometers long walk to see the whole campus. Somewhere in the middle I found this cafe, ordered one latte and a croissant as a take-away, some kind of motivation to finally start unpacking stuff. Have you tried their croissants? They're soooo delicious."

"Huh, interesting. You moved here recently, too, right?"

"During the summer. You?"

"Closer to fall since I had some things to do during summer, moved over there," she pointed at the small, green apartment building a few buildings away. "Awfully expensive rent, but at least I have a living room and a bedroom." If only I could spend more time there, she added in her thoughts.

"Ooh, the pretty one. That's so cool! Too bad the rent is high. But hey, at least you have this little cafe nearby. Lucky!"

"Heh, maybe. Um, hope I didn't interrupt anything important?"

"Huh?"

"Your, um, earphones?"

"Oh, that! No, don't worry about it, it's some sociology lecture they're streaming. They'll post the recording later, so I'll watch it then."

"Soc- Aren't you studying IT or something?"

"Biochemistry, actually. I don't know, I just like them. Dad had lots of sociology books, I used to read them as a teen," he paused and looked down at his yarn, "Uh. Anyway. Don't worry about it."

Klara watched him go back a few stitches back and redo them. "What are you crocheting?"

"A sweater. Or, well, a turtleneck, actually."

"I thought you're supposed to knit them."

"You can crochet them too," he reached for the glass of water and took a sip. "Crocheted ones are a bit bulkier than knitted ones, which many don't like, but I personally love wearing one with a leather jacket."

"Really? Sorry, I varely know anything about either one." She looked up to thank the barista for bring her order to the table, and gave her a tip. Once the barista left, she turned back to Tobias and looked at his hand. "Listen, aren't you left-handed?"

"What? Oh, yeah. Well, ambidexterous, actually, though I'm definitely better at using my left hand," he shook the yarn off his left hand and waved slightly. "My left hand hurts a bit right now, so I'm doing something that lets it rest more. Didn't take the book I'm reading with me, and sitting idly is, well, hard. I'd probably fall asleep or something," he paused to look at the yarn, a slightly annoyed look appearing on his face for a moment, and then leaned back on the sofa and continued, "Crocheting mostly required only one hand to move, while the other just holds the yarn. Feels a bit weird to do all this with right hand. But hey, at least I get to train it a bit more."

"Huh." Klara sipped her juice and watched him crochet for a while. "That's an interesting color. Pink, but also orangeish?"

"Oh, yeah! It reminded me of whatever you get when you mix lots of strawberry slushie and some orange slushie together sometimes. I think I'll name it 'Slushie' when I'm done."

"You...name your sweaters?"

"For fun. There's the bee sweater, it's yellow with orange stripes. Or orange with yellow stripes, whatever. I embroidered a small little bee on it, too. Then I'm also working on something that would probably be called fish pond, I guess. I'm knitting that one, there was this funny blue yarn where the shade of blue changes after half a meter or so. Makes it look like water. I think I'll add some koi fish there, either only on the front or in the back, too. What do you think?"

"Huh. Depends on how many fish. It would be fun on both sides, though, I think..." Klara imagined him walking around the campus in the fish sweater. Not the weirdest outfit she has seen, and actually sounds quite cute, too. And probably warm. Would it be wrong to ask for one, since winter's coming and she still hasn't gone shopping for anything warm yet. Who am I kidding, why whould he even consider that, Klara thought. She looked up and noticed Tobias looking at her, as if waiting for an answer. "Uh, sorry, did you say something? I kinda got lost in my thoughts."

"Um, yeah, don't worry about it. I asked what you like to do. As a hobby, I mean."

"Uhh... wait a moment, let me think..." Klara looked up and tried to remember the last time she did something that was not studying or her internship. Would watching tv shows count? She thought about how she used to draw during her free time, and realized in the middle of the thought that the last time she did that was a year ago or so. "Um. I work out in the morning, if that counts? And watch tv shows. Uh. Sorry, I don't really have time for other hobbies." Even if I would love to have them.

Tobias smiled. "That's completely fine! I mean, I mostly do them because I either procrastinate my tasks or need to occupy my brain with something so I won't- um, feel bad. And knowing all the things you do, I'm glad to hear that you have at least some free time to watch tv shows and exercise. That's at least some kind of rest."

"That's a...very good point," she picked up her glass of juice and looked at the liquid for a moment before finishing it. "You, um, watch any shows?"

"Well, no. Not really my thing, same with movies," he replied, and quickly added, "I mean, I could watch them, with someone, but I personally don't really have an interest to, well, follow them, I guess? There are some that I kind off like, but also watch quite rarely."

"That's fine! I rarely ever meet people who don't watch them. You do look like someone who prefers books, though."

"I sure do. And video games," he smiled. "Though I haven't played any for a while, haven't had any time to go buy a console after moving."

"Hey, I play some games, too. How funny." She drank her apple juice, and suddenly remembered why she came here. "Uh, you're not using the outlet, are you?"

"Nope! Why?"

"I need to charge my laptop. And finish my presentation. And all kinds of other stuff, really, uh-", she took out her laptop and placed it carefully between the plates, then ducked under the table to put the cable in. "Oh, fuck, I think I forgot to reply to an important email yesterday, too."

"Oh, man that's awful. Though I personally believe that people should see it as a normal thing that others have a few days to answer emails-" he paused, a slightly worried look on my face, "Hey, um, I'm not distracting you from anything important, am I? I can go, if you want-"

"No, no, don't worry about it. I'll handle everything quickly. Actually," she looked at him, "do you have a molent to proof-read my presentation? I've been having problems with it and can't put my finger on where exactly is the problem."

"Yeah, sure, let me see it," he placed his crochet work on the table, barely missing one of the plates, and rose up, revealing the full cat illustration on the t-shirt he wore under his cardigan, cartoony cats in different poses and with different faces.

Klara glanced at each of them for a moment. "That's such a cute shirt," she said and pointed at the one in the right, a cat dozing off in sunlight, "Kinda wish that was me, heh."

"Thanks! Funny thing, I went to a cat show with my 'ex' a year ago and this was part of official event merch. One of my favorite t-shirts for sure."

"It's soooooo cool. And glad to hear that the fact you went there with your ex didn't ruin the whole experience."

"Ah, well, Frank wasn't exactly an ex and more like an associate with benefits, or whatever. Anyway, your presentation?"

"Oh, um, yeah!" She opened the document and turned the laptop towards him. "Like I said, I don't know what's the problem, but it feels...weird."

"Well, I don't see any problems either, to be honest, it's quite amazing. I also like your topic, sustainability at work and its connection to tax benefits of workers on different level is such an interesting point of view." He stopped at one slide, "Hey, I think I found your little problem. Your table lacks titles and a legend. Everything else is fine."

"Huh, that was it?" She looked at the slide. "Man, thanks! This means a lot."

"No problem, Klara, I'm always glad to help," Tobias said with a wide smile, "Honestly though, what a cool topic."

"Uh, thank you! Hopefully the professor will think so, too."

"It would be surprising if he won't. Hey, by the way, what time is it?"

Klara looked at her screen. "It's 10 am."

"Oh, hm, okay. Damn, just realized I need to be on the other side of the campus in half an hour."

"Hm, that's bad. Though, you'll get there on time if you hurry."

"Yeah, you're right, you're right," he nodded and walked to his own seat, carefully wrapped his bagel in a napkin and put it in his tote bag with his work-in-progress turtleneck. He finished his latte quickly and looked at Klara. "Well, um, hey, it was nice to talk to you. You're very, um, cool! And thanks for asking about the craft projects, I rarely ever get to talk about them. Hope I didn't sound too boring."

"You didn't, it's really hard to find people so passionate about things."

"Ah, great to hear, thanks! Well, see you later, somewhere!" He picked up his tote bag and started walking towards the exit, then stopped and turned back and glanced at her. "Hey, before I forget, do send me an update about how your presentation went. Would really love to hear more!"

"Sure, will do. See you, Tobias."

He smirked and waved to her, and exited the building.

Klara sat there for a moment, looking out of the window and watching him walk outside. What a fun guy. She couldn't remember the last time she had a weird, though funny and interesting conversation like this.

She turned back to the laptop and opened her email, now more somehow more relaxed than before.
