#i like that it throws random stuff at me

You know what, Pixar should make Inside Out shorts that focus on emotion combinations.

Like maybe from my previous post, Fear and Disgust protecting her physically and socially.

Or Joy and Nostalgia recalling happy memories with her parents. Even Sadness for sad memories.

Fear and embarrassment hoping Riley doesn't get called on in class and making a fool of herself.

Envy and Joy being enthusiastic about what they want Riley's future birthdays to be like.

Anger and Disgust making sure Riley is being treated fairly by any bullies when they take advantage of her.

Fear and Anxiety preparing Riley and planning ahead in order to ensure that Riley's fears/worries don't come true.

Ennui and Disgust keeping Riley away from any drama from her friends that actually doesn't concern her. To not waste time or energy on it.

Just a normal day in the guest room....

see normally i try to avoid and dislike using "they're ooc" as a criticism bc it's been historically used to flatten out a character's flaws. i want to use any possible in universe route to explain what's going on regardless of whether it aligns w authorial intent or not. anyway i think ten is ooc in girl in the fireplace

I just had a quiet 'A-ha' moment over S19, and for like, the handful of us who enjoy the whole 'Simmons is a Church theory/Au' or 'Grimmons and Chex Character Foils' introspection... I know that throw was likely (98.5%) for Donut, but now I'm kinda happy it was Simmons throwing it to Tex. Like. . . The core of this whole 'A-Ha' moment wasn't 'Oh hey, they're bonding' it was that in this one moment I realized... Oh hey, the two people always prone to 'Fail' at things just 'Fucking Won' . . . . And then viewing it as a Simulation Church is running is like 'I'm letting them have this moment' ... I think that's pretty neat.

I haven't kept up with QSMP at all and my only exposure to Lost is Billiam Thies's ongoing almost 20 hour long Lost retrospective series, but every time I hear about something crazy new to the QSMP server via livebloggers I still follow my mind immediately goes "Woah, it's just like Lost..." and it's been like this for months

what if we were both kind, well-liked and self-sacrificial people who feel responsible for a whole group of others, going as far as murder to try and help them, stopping them from fighting and trying to sacrificing themselves for me, tearfully (and fruitlessly) asking them to promise to be friends with each other from now on, with the person who feels guilty for our situations crying out for us as we approach our impending execution

I am rereading Constance Savery's The Memoirs of Jack Chelwood in order to properly respond to someone who asked about it a while back, and I am...utterly baffled as to why Savery considered this her best book.

Sometimes I wish that I did ship Hankcon, cause honestly I don't have anything against it as a ship and I'd get like double the content. Idk why I don't, I can separate ships vs platonic relationships in my head and enjoy both without issue in most cases (I do with rk1700 vs them as brothers for example, I can enjoy both separately). Sometimes a ship just doesn't vibe with me for some reason. I was also one of the 0.0001% of the Merlin fandom who didn't ship Merlin and Arthur, a rare breed I know lol. It's not that I don't see it! It's not that I don't see why it's shippable, it just doesn't click in my brain. It's the platonic shit that gives my brain the happy chemicals for whatever reason and only that 🤷

bell I do have a crochet question for you. how do you get better at freehanding things? is it just experience? bc I've been crocheting for a few years now but I still sweat if I can't find a pattern for what I want to make 😭

so my initial answer is just fuck around and find out-- as in just start making stuff, sometimes don't even try for a specific shape, just do stuff and see what shapes you make and get a feel for how increasing and decreasing impact a work, how to incorporate larger stitches (i.e. switch from sc to dc to make one side of the round taller), all that kind of stuff. and maybe try and make something purely based off an image-- as in, no pattern, no fucking clue how to go about it, just go at it and see what you get. it won't always be pretty, but it'll teach you! and practice helps immensely, so you can even just work on things you do have patterns for/know how to make and that will teach you how shapes come together and how to sculpt something (bc that's what amigurumi is, really, just figuring out how to sculpt something with loop & hook-- imo, it's what makes crochet pretty different to other fiber arts, although you can do 3-D stuff with them as well) into what you want.

my other answer is i've been crocheting for thirteen years and i consider myself pretty damn good at it and i still whine and cry when i can't find a pattern for what i want 😭 i think getting really good at tracking stuff down and also sometimes just resigning yourself to having to buy a pattern is really the answer. also, tbh, you can look at how someone else made it and try and replicate that without a pattern-- if you sell stuff, i recommend you still credit the original designer, since you are basing it off their work, but looking at how someone else made something and trying to do the same thing is how a lot of artists build technique. again, don't rip them off entirely, but going "how tf did they make this?" and trying to do something similar can help you learn more about how pieces are put together.

also ravelry, pinterest (if you know how to use it properly and are willing to deal with the spam/clickbait fake pins... bane of my existence), various pattern databases, and, tbh, just rando people's blogs are your best friend. i have a few amigurumi artists where when i'm just absolutely lost, i go on their sites and search up what i'm trying to make to see if they've done it before, and sometimes they have! elisa's crochet has really cute stuff, as does ami amour, and you can find way more people through instagram (the one and only time i will recommend going on that site)
