#guess the item

I forgot to make the first June Saturday poll so here it is!

I won a fucking sweepstakes for using a 40% off coupon (*correction it was because I tried a "fan fave" item when I used the fanfave coupon, the coupon was unrelated other than the name)

A little self-indulgent comic I made to cope with A New Wish's season finale. SPOILERS

The night after watching the episode, I immediately thought scenarios for Dev and Peri to reunite. I already liked Hazel's and Dev's friendship, but him getting Peri honestly made things more interesting since he'll get more involved in the show.

Dev losing Peri devastated me, since that also meant losing his memory. I was kind of expecting it due knowing the other show the writers worked on (Infinity Train, which I love). This is the second season finale to mess me up this much, in fact.

This was the first scenario I came up with, based on other's ideas on how Peri could be present to Dev as a human. I also added the theory that Dev didn't get his memory erased. I made Peri wear something that fitted the role of babysitter (in my opinion). An alternative would be Dale's new assistant/intern, in which he'll used the same clothes as his fairy form, but with a bow tie and the wand pen.

I sort of rushed the dialogue and made it quite cheesy near the end. I didn't want it to be too long as I want to make more fan art for the show, but also finish my months long project.

Another scenario I liked was that Dev (with memories intact) is secretly sabotaging Project H and his selfless deeds allow him to get Peri back, may be after a legal dispute in the Fairy Court.

Your art is so, so, so, so cute. If you ever were so inclined, I would love to see your take on Charles finally getting to eat a plate of spaghetti

Edwin wasn't too sure he liked it, but I think he's convinced now!

"There must be something I can do for you."

OK so I have been trying for the longest time to make sense of why the fuck they KEPT GOING WITH THE MAGIC ACT when they realized they couldn't do miracles. And I think I've got it.

Once again, it boils down to misunderstanding and miscommunication (surprise surprise):

I fully believe Aziraphale thought he was doing Crowley a favor by offering to do his magic act. Crowley’s in trouble with the theater, the alcohol he was going to sell is ruined because of Aziraphale’s shenanigans at the church. To take some of the pressure off Crowley, he offers to perform.

Here's the thing, though. Aziraphale DOESN'T think he's a very good magician. Just look at how nervous he is! He has zero confidence. Even the coin trick he does for Crowley, he's shocked and delighted when it actually works because he doesn't think it's going to. He's pretending for Crowley's sake because he's trying to get Crowley out of the hot seat with the theater.

That's also why he chooses such a dramatic and dangerous trick for the stage: he has to make it good for Crowley.

Meanwhile.

MEANWHILE.

Crowley sees Aziraphale's offer to do the magic act purely as another one of Aziraphale’s whimsies. Which of course he is going to indulge, because he's a lovesick fool. He goes into FULL SUPPORTIVE HUSBAND mode, builds up Aziraphale's confidence, agrees to do the highly dangerous trick because Aziraphale wants to, because he thinks Aziraphale thinks he's good at magic, because he thinks Aziraphale really wants to get up on stage and perform, and he just doesn't want to see Aziraphale embarrassed... (Sound familiar???)

So. We get to the stage. Aziraphale doesn’t actually want to be there, but he's doing it for Crowley; Crowley doesn't actually want to be there, but he's doing it for Aziraphale. BOTH of them are complete idiots, because they're so enamored with each other and so fucking COMMITTED that neither of them wants to back down when they find out they can't do miracles. They just really want to make their husband happy--so badly that they're willing to risk discorporation for it.

In conclusion: they are idiots and I love them but THEY NEED TO COMMUNICATE JESUS CHRIST

It's no wonder the season ended like it did...

Coffee-scented kisses

Tim fell in love with a barista. At first he had wondered if it was simply a mistake, to transfer his love for coffee to the person who produced it, but slowly he realized it was a little more than that.

Danny, the new barista, didn't really criticize him when he ordered 8 coffees a day, as long as he was on shift. He also didn't ask him about his health insurance every time he ordered Death Wish, and even made sure to make small talk every time he delivered his coffee.

It had only been a few days since he was hired but Tim fell in love with his small talk, his care, and of course, his coffee.

Then, when Danny was suspected of working with Two Face he was heartbroken. The boy was probably innocent, but he couldn't get out of his head that nothing in Gotham was simple, everyone kept secrets, including himself. So he made up his mind to stay away from Danny, for his sake.

Danny, for his part, was Harvey Dent's assistant and a part-time barista, he just wanted to distract himself and Harvey was strangely sympathetic after telling him about running away from home. Kind of like a guy you stay with during the vacations, but more permanent.

The halfa started to worry when the cute boy from the cafe stopped coming, maybe he was in danger? Danny couldn't help but worry, but when his coworkers told him Tim was coming in on other shifts he wondered if the boy was avoiding him.

why no asking for patterns??

It's irritating. Before I put the "Stop asking me about my patterns" note on my description, 80 percent of my asks/messages were just asking 1) where did you get the pattern 2) can i have the pattern 3) pattern? even though I'd already stated multiple times (and tagged accordingly) that I freehand everything and don't share any of my patterns. Even now I'm still getting a few people asking for patterns. A lot of them don't even follow me and have never interacted with me in any capacity; they act like I'm some AI bot they can demand things from. I love asks, but literally one week I had at least 8 different people asking me for patterns out of nowhere and that was so frustrating I finally put STOP ASKING ME ABOUT MY PATTERNS.

I don't even care if people dress it up with Hi Hello Love what You're Doing and smilies and offers to pay. You know what people will offer to pay for a pattern? $5 if it's good, maaaaybe $10 but then it should have pictures for pretty much every step or ooh a video tutorial too, and they should be able to ask questions and get personalized one-on-one help since they're paying So Much for just this one single pattern.

I'm spending around 7 hours and upwards of 16 hours on some of these crochets which is the "fun" part for me and I don't want to spend even another hour transcribing my notes for public consumption. Do you know how annoying it is for people to repeatedly ask you the same question that you've answered countless times? Random strangers who don't know anything about you just messaging you out of nowhere "Where's the pattern for this?" because they don't care enough to do a cursory search of my blog and find the answer. I'm not going out of my way to do something that I don't like to do for a pitiful amount of money for someone who, in all likelihood, will not even make the damn thing. That's the thing that would make a difference to me is if they actually showed that they would appreciate the time I put in, by putting in the time themselves to make something from a pattern I've already publicly shared here (go find it yourself though). There is exactly one person I know for sure I would share any pattern with, and maybe another 3 I would consider.

Honestly, it should be enough for me to say I DON'T WANT TO and that would be it! But no! People even now still message me saying "I read your description but please can you make an exception for me?" and the little thing in the conversation window reads "Not following each other" and I don't recall ever seeing them in my notes before that point and searching on their blog doesn't show that they'd ever reblogged or interacted with me before. Bonafide random fucker knows fuckall about me and yet they want me to do them a favor? There's so much casual entitlement in crocheting and crafts and I hate it.

In short, too many people asking when I already said no. People are impersonal and rude about it. it's not fun or worth it to me.

A late addition to my Halloween series. She's been sitting in my outfit drafts for a while and I finally got around to doing the photo.
