#crochet ocd

[anklemeatafton]

Man crocheting with OCD is e x h a u s t i n g

It's like oh? You're counting? You're counting stitches? You fool! You absolute spectacle of tomfoolery and generic clownery! You cannot do that many stitches in a row, that is the Bad Number. Count to 128 exclusively in multiples of 7 or 14, if it doesn't come out perfectly even then simply perish you unsymmetric serf. Your hand is cramping? The little bidybab-bitch-baby-plush-baby-lookin'-ass's hand hurts? You can't crochet 0.014 x 10^(3) stitches in one go? Break it then, you crying-child-lookin' epitome of patheticism, you won't. Do it, I dare you.

yoU LOST C O U N T ? !

WHAT IF YOU STOPPED ON A MULTIPLE OF 3, 6, 13, 15, 16, OR ONE OF THE BAD MULTIPLES OF 9???

you lost count. you lost fucking count of your stitches-- we will Assume That You Stopped On A Bad Number because we Cannot RememberTM--

You have stopped on a Bad Number. Everything is horrible and nothing will ever be okay again. DIE ABOUT IT.

Or, alternatively, undo your entire project in multiples of 14 at a time and redo it correctly after straightening and combing your curly already-crocheted-yarn for hours. You must repeat this process 14 times. This is the only way to undo the Unforgivable Atrocity That You Have Committed.

Man I'm just trying to crochet a cute little hour-long-project amigurumi cherryblossom snail for a secret santa at my hospital unit ;u; why can't I just. be normal. about these things--

I'll say it as many times as it needs to be said. There is absolutely miniscule actual harm that comes from engaging with Harry Potter in 2024. JK Rowling does not need money. Anything sent her way is less than a rounding error. And the book series was literally EVERYWHERE in the 90s and 2000s. Like it or not, it DID impact a whole generation of people - pretending that never happened is completely absurd, if not outright irresponsible. It happened. It's just a fact. Harry Potter is mainstream. There is nothing that can be done to 'promote' it. It's already there.

What all this obsession with HP on tumblr is about? An easy way to smugly define Good People from Bad People. Because if you *really* cared about trans people enough, you'd hate everything associated with Harry Potter. Regardless of how much you adored it when you were 8 and went to Harry Potter parties with your family all dressed up quoting book lines at one another in your most precious childhood memories because for once your special interest actually aligned with the people closest to you. No, all those positive associations should have been deleted instantly. If you *cared enough*, it would just *happen*.

Which is why a whole slew of people who previously had earnestly reblogged posts about Moral OCD and how bad tumblr can be about it were suddenly cackling about how buying Hogwarts Legacy was comparable to *refusing to throw The One Ring into Mordor, starting a war that would kill millions.* And how donating to a pro-trans charity (an act that would have VASTLY more impact than aforementioned rounding error) is comparable to 'donating to a pro-elf charity' in the wake of that.

Because tumblr doesn't actually give a shit about autistics or OCD sufferers. When we complain about stuff that they also dislike, they proudly reblog that and rage in the notes about how selfish and cruel and Individualist those other people on tumblr are!!! But the *second* they get to paint themselves as the ones with '''''good thoughts and feelings'''''' they take it, and make up posts about how HP likers 'believe they're the main character and everything should revolve around them.'

Is it actually about whether something causes harm? Or is it about dividing the world into Inherently Good People and Inherently Bad People? Is it actually about doing real good for the community and making the world a better place? Or is it about shaming people with the Wrong Emotions until they fucking hate themselves and spend hours upon hours ruminating on end trying to change themselves because their inability to let go of positive Harry Potter feelings is OBVIOUSLY evidence of a truly inescapably evil and cruel and wretched identity that the world would be better off without?

Which is it, actually? When it actually feels a little bit good to feel like you're on the Right Side of all of this, for once?

[soggypotatoes]

been crocheting for hours and hours, every time i try to stop i start having the evil thoughts

my body hurts. im tired. i have to get up early. but, guys, the THOUGHTS, they'll get me!!!

i did complain to a new but already precious friend about it and she reassured me without me asking that she cares for me and im not evil. which was surprisingly.. really helpful, cause i generally never ask for reassurance bc. if i ask for it then obvs they feel like they have to say it. and if i merely Say how im feeling without directly asking they will also feel like they have to say it. so i avoid saying anything that implies that i need reassurance bc i assume it wont help and will just make me feel bad

but it did help!! this time, anyway. i think i might be able to go to bed soon

[clarissaexplainingitall]

very nice comment on that fic that i hauntingly need to edit the chapter for + update of the "hey this is great i hope to be able to read the end of this someday" no pressure variety, and honestly same. maybe i will try to get to that if i get any sleep this weekend. my life has become consumed by learning how to crochet and also finally getting back into reading my immense backlog of books alongside my brother

but now i have several crocheted chickens and the unimaginable chaos of work hell has finally begun to start quieting, and we've gone three whole months without a brutal death or new aggressive sudden cancer, so... we will see

[adelle-ein]

another little guy collection, this one very video game themed as it turns out

(clomper and flurry are from crochettor and chicken by complicatedknots, both on youtube)

[smol-ay]

I went to the mall and like. Why is it so big?

Also shout-out to the hot topic employee who saw my dilemma that I didn't want to go between two wheel chairs because I didn't want to impede in their space even though people were already passing between them. They was very nice and waited with me.

As you can see the anxiety is attacking me. So now I am nesting.

Does anyone else have THE GIANT FUCKIGN URGE TO BABY ALL OF YOUR STUFFIES

I don't know what that urge is but it's a thing I guess. They must be fed, watered, and tucked in. And sometimes they cry but that's okay because it's okay for them to cry. Because crying is a natural body response.

ALSO DID YOU KNOW THAT STORES HAVE SALES AS A BUSINESS TACTIC TO GET PEOPLR TO BUY MORE THINGS. ITS SO CRAZY

I ALSO GOT A CUBE DUCK LOOK AT HIM HES SO YELLOW AND CUTE

I ALSO ATE PANCAKES FOR DINNER BEST SPRING BREAK SO FAR

[thewallshaveeyes]

So I started on my thneed and god damn

I'm barely even a fifth of the way done but jesus. Now I see why the onceler invented capitalism this shit is like a hug for my legs

[distractedmuffins]

Shop update!

I added the first stim toy bag to the shoppe! It can fit several small or medium toys, and/or a handful of larger fidgets. Right now it's the confetti color on the site, but I'm going to add more colors down the line and I'm currently working on a second bag :)

I also added a new toy! It's a button shaker toy with a flowered edge you can put your fingers in, is great for those who play with the edge of their clothing. The link to the shoppe is on my profile! Happy Stimming!

[orions-aether]

having ocd that involves counting and doing fibre art and having brain fog from chronic illness and also just being bad at numbers all at once takes more brain cells than I have at my disposal

fiber crafts is like oh you think you know how to count? think again. also count again.

[mielgirlfriend]

patiently waiting for my next hyperfixation to add a sense of value to my life because girls it’s been HARD

[thejadeofc]
