#haven rambles

[hey-haven]

I gotta ramble, I NEED to ramble!

I feel like it’s more fun making Joker a moreeee average teenager when not in the Metaverse. Like I have this headcanon that all the agility and strength he and the other thieves show don’t entirely carry over to the real world. Their abilities are tied to their strong will.

This is my way of saying that I like making real world Akira un-athletic with tall and gangly limbs and very low endurance. I like thinking that he’s good at thinking of out of the box solutions and coming up with insane plans, but when it comes to school he struggles a bit in a rigid, academic environment. I like to think he’s really good at socializing from years of masking (ha), but when unmasked he’s jusssst weird and awkward. I like to think he’s fairly handsome but it’s not this super model levels of handsome. He has freckles and acne and a tooth gap that he’s kinda insecure about.

I like imagining Akira as a teenager with average strengths and weaknesses that every teen can have because I like to think that part of the appeal of the phantom thieves is that it can be anyone. It can be the rowdy delinquent, the eccentric artist, the socially anxious former shut in. Akira is just some guy, but what makes him stand out is not his looks or athleticism. It’s his strong will and desire for true justice.

"Shame, you would've made my father proud." Haven sighs, her scythe appearing in her hand.

"Guess I'll have to kill you now. You know too much." Her green eyes, that now held a ring of gold, were cold as she stared down someone who showed so much potential.

only to side with the gods.

Toby, how old are you?

Alright let’s get the ages out of the way again. Remember that these are my headcanons and my story and all that cool cool cool

Toby: 21

Tim: 24

Brian: 24

Jeff: 21

Ben: physically 20 (technically around in their 30s)

Clockwork: 21

Jane: 22

EJ: 25

Slender: around 500 (physically in his mid 40s)

Sally: physically 8 (technically 70+)

Nina: 17

The blog pulls the cartoon logic where time passes but nobody really ages just for the sake of keeping consistency. Like I know years have passed in real life, but they will stay the same age for my sake. Or you can pretend they’re aging, I don’t really care.

I’m also aware that Tim and Brian’s ages won’t be the most accurate with the timeline of Marble Hornets, but with the way I write them it just feels better to put them nearly in their mid 20s rather than anything significantly older. They just remind me a lot of myself, and the themes in general with the blog is having these people learn to function as adults in a very unstable and unfamiliar environment similar to young adults just trying to learn how to be adults without being given the needed guidance.

Point is, I don’t think it’s an issue of aging them down a couple years then what they would be by the end of Marble Hornets.

Just wanna say how cool it is that the families in twst all have very diverse dynamics, and it’s something that’s normalized

Like Deuce was raised by a single mom, Vil by a single dad, Azul gets along well with his step father, Ruggie was raised by his grandma, Lilia is Silver’s (and Malleus’s tbh) adoptive father, and I could go on cause there are more examples.

It’s genuinely nice how casual the writing is when it comes to these things. Like yeah, their home lives are different and it’s chill cause there’s nothing wrong with not having a nuclear family.

re: prev tags!!! here's the original sneezy pictures from july 2018 and the scrunge guide!!

r/scrungycats is fucking amazing

Tbh I think I’m gonna change the throuple that was Brian, Nat, and EJ cause it felt like that trope where a writer feels like they have to pair everyone with someone, and as an aroace person I very much do want some characters to stay single as that kind of representation is very important to me.

I still want Brian to be in a throuple as he’s the one I headcanon as poly. It’ll just be two different characters. All while Nat and EJ are chilling. Nat for now, she might have a partner eventually. EJ just likes being single haha

So yeah, that’s really the only update I have to give. They didn’t break up in universe or anything, I just snapped my fingers and it’s like it never happened lol

I’m sorry, but if anyone thinks Twilight wouldn’t be the most anxiety ridden partner in the world, they’re wrong

my mousie!!! this pattern is so fun!! i used a vintage polka dot cotton and a vintage faux fur type material with a really low and like loopy? pile to make mine

I've been sitting on this pattern and tutorial for a while now! so time to finally share it with you! I was lamenting that the jellycat pip and sugar mice were long retired and difficult to get your hands on unless you are willing to pay much more than they retailed for each mouse, so i decided to try and eyeball a pattern and make some myself! they're not exact as i only used constructed visual references but they're close! please note that this pattern set is intended for personal use only. Rough tutorial under the cut!

This pattern is for printing onto A4 but you can check your scale with the measurements I've provided or just play around with how big or small you want to try and make them! i didn't really get any wip photos of pip mouse but it's method is largely the same with the nose being the major change, which i will detail in text in the instructions below.

for sugar mouse i would recommend using polar fleece as it will act the right way for the ears to do their squishy marshmallow looking thing. but minky should also work or other similar fabrics! for pip mouse if you can find a similar curly looking fabric with a thin backing that'll be ideal but fleece will also work well, you just wont get the furry texture, you want a fabric with a little bit of stretch to it. i however would not recommend fabrics like felt or non stretch cotton for these guys as it's likely to not take shape the same as there's no give to the fabric.

once you have printed out the pattern and cut the pieces in your fabric, you'll want to sew the ears up and turn them inside out, then put them aside for later. just leave them as is for now but here you can see i was playing around with pinching the turned through ear into shape.

Then moving on, sew the back pieces together along the spine and front of face. you then want pull the bottom open ends apart gently and place the open sides flat up against the base piece so that they're aligned, it can be good to pin this in place so it doesn't shift.

then, get your tail rope, and tie a knot at either end, placing the base of it inbetween the seam at the butt so that it'll sit in the right place, then sew the seam up directly with the tail in place, make sure you sew through the rope to secure it and make sure it doesnt shift. Sew around the bases seam leaving a hole in one side so that you can then turn your mouse through.

once turned through you will want to stuff your mouse with polyfill quite a bit so it takes shape! i like to put weighted beans in mine for extra effect, you can use dried rice or wheat too, just sew a little circle pouch a bit smaller that the mouses base with scrap fabric and fill and seal! then insert into the turning hole while you stuff. once stuffing is done you can sew the hole up with a ladder stitch. the weight from the beads will allow your mouse to sit up quite well.

next you will want to get those ears you put aside, take each corner and bring the ends together in the middle. then sew them gently together at the ends with one or two stitches in about the same spot. you want them to look 3d so dont sew the ends to the back of the ear, just end to end so they meet in the center.

Then pin the ears in place on the head

then you need to ladder stitch the ears in place while they're pinned so they dont shift around, go all the way around the outside edge of each.

now you're almost done! next they just need a face! sugar mouse only needs embroidery by way of a french knot for both the eyes and nose (you can find good video tutorials on how to sew a french knot online), pip mouse will also need a french knot for the eyes but has a separate process for it's nose. (for the pip mouses nose you will need to leave the marked nose hole open and then stitch the nose fabric to the square nose backing in line with the dotted direction on the pattern, (it should look kind of baggy when it's unstuffed) sew it up completley with no hole, then cut a tiny slit in the backing and add polyfill there before closing with a basic stitch, then you ladder stitch the nose directly to the marked nose hole)

in order to hide the embroidery anchor knots i find the best way is to start by going down through the middle of the ears and then coming back up where you want the eye to be, and then going back down and up through the ear for the finishing knot, as it creates a very easy cover for them and looks nice and clean!

then you have yourself a little buddy!

haha they're great to squish! if you use this pattern i'd love to see your results!
