what fidget toy do you guys think would have fixed icarus . because in my heart i know that there's one out there

[tucsonhorseunmasking]

Oh! I actually have pictures of some cause I posted about them a while ago, let me find them!

These aren't all of my favorites, and I've got at least one that I want to get, but it's several that have stuck around for me.

The zebra one is a marble maze, except it's small enough to fit comfortably in one hand and I can just rotate the marble around and around and around in it. For me that sort of repetitive circular movement is calming. I made this one myself so if you can't sew idk where you could get one.

The blue thing is an Ono roller. Again I enjoy the repetitive motion, and it rolls so nice and smoothly. It's also a nice solid weight, but that makes it a bit trickier to carry in my pocket. It's metal and seems to stay cool to the touch very well, which I like. It's a little large for my hands so I'm considering getting a smaller version that they have.

The last one is just an elastic beaded bracelet. I like the beads for rolling back and forth between my fingers. It's easy to keep around because I just wear it and I get a lot fewer curious looks when I fidget with it at work because it's more normalized to fidget with jewelry. I also like to kind of fold it in half and play with the elastic-ness of it.

I have a small round pop it like this that has been my most common fidget lately. I like to set it down and like repetitively push the bubbles down in a pattern. I don't know why it feels good, but it does. I actually don't like that it makes noise but it's mostly quiet enough that it's not a problem. If I need it to be silent I will sometimes hold it and pop a single bubble back and forth while holding it between two fingers so I get the popping feeling without the sound

I also have a couple basic fidget spinners that I go back to a lot. I do a number of different things with these depending on my mood. I enjoy holding it in the middle with my fingertips and then setting it spinning because I like the feel of the momentum and the sensation if I wiggle it while it's spinning. Sometimes I'll hold at the end of two of the arms (there's rotating bits there too) and just sort of rotate it back and forth. Sometimes I'll set it down and just spin it because I enjoy the noise and watching it spin is a good visual stim for me.

I didn't think I'd like fidget spinners but someone left one at my job one time and I got delayed while putting it in the lost and found and realized I was fidgeting with it a bunch and it felt nice, so if you haven't tried a particular fidget just because it's currently a popular "toy*, I do suggest giving it a try just to see.

I almost forgot one of my absolute favorites! I couldn't find a picture of them online and they're at work right now, but these tactile shells are what led me to find them. It's a pair of small plastic balls that are covered in little spikes, kinda like the green or the purple sensory shells in the pic. There's something about the sensation being sharp but not so sharp that it actually cuts that I really like. Sometimes it's the only thing that really feels like it cuts through my brain fog, and other times it feels kinda like it's giving the tension a physical channel to escape through.*Highly* recommend hard spiky plastic (but not sharp enough to cut! We're going for stims and good sensory, not harm).

can y’all show me your favorite sensory/fidget toys?? they can be anything

it would be great too if y’all could say what you like about them too/what they help you with sensory wise, I want to buy some sensory/fidget toys I’ll actually use/like

Pet Paradise Beaded Animals - Part One

Previous Post: Pet Paradise Bead Kit

I’ve made the first five animals from the bead kit, and I thought I’d take the time to talk about the making of each. I noticed that the instructions don’t say how much cord to use per animal, so I’ve mentioned that below.

I used the beads that came with kit but my own cord, as the holes in these beads are wider than most pony beads, and the box image shows a thicker cord in use, not the narrow rattail that came with the kit. I thought the beads would sit better on thicker cord. The beads are not quite uniform, so they don’t always fit flush in each row, giving the creatures a clumsy look. I plan to remake some of these with my own beads for this reason.

The instructions do not say how to properly tie off the animals when finished. With the gecko, you can knot at the base of the tail, but for the other creatures, I learnt that you’re better off to take one end of the cord, thread it through the second row of beads from the bottom, and then take that end and the end from the bottom row and knot them together. Using a sewing needle makes it easier to run the cord through the second row of beads.

Gecko: 1 metre of cord works easily. This isn’t any different from the standard tutorial. My kit didn’t have the metallic green beads on the box front, so I used metallic gold. I hope I picked the right replacement colour, as my beads have two colours not shown on the box and are missing one.

Frog: I’d use no less than 1.25 metres of cord. I made this identically to the box image save for the last row, where I threaded the cord through all the beads instead of just some of them. I think this looks neater. The legs with one bead skipped are a little awkward, and I’m honestly not sure this is a necessary step. This isn’t too much different to the gecko in thread patterns. After the frog and gecko, there are eight green beads left over.

Penguin: 1 metre of cord works well. This is the easiest animal here, as you’re beading simple rows without additional limbs, so I’d recommend doing this one for the first non-pattern creature. I made no changes to the pattern.

Ladybird: 90 cm of cord is enough, as this is quite a small design. I had to change the pattern because the one on the box has rows that go from five beads to seven beads, and adding two extra beads per row made the beads bunch up horribly. (I’ve seen this on other patterns as well; I don’t like it.) I only go up or down one bead per new row on my version, which lessens the bunching and looks much nicer to me. Please note that this ladybird is much smaller than the pattern I linked on the first post.

Bunny: 1.25 metres of cord at minimum, but you may wish to go up to 1.5 if you want a lot of play in the cord for the final knot. I struggled to tie mine. My only change to the pattern was to swap a white bead for a pink bead for the feet, as the structure of the feet is almost identical to the ears, and I wanted them to look a little more distinct.

So far, I’ve had enough beads in all colours save for the one missing colour. The penguin was easiest to make, but I like the frog the best. The wider animals are really good for rolling flat between palms.

(If proper tutorials for any animal here are wanted, let me know and I can add it to the eventual to do list.)

knows a ton of small facts about the most strange and unusual topics that they learnt just out of curiosity

stops and turns around just to makes sure no one is left behind and if so waits for them

they won't ever ask, but sometimes they need to be cared for too as they tend to overwork themselves and overthink things

Aesthetic:

Long bicycle rides at sunset, a good book and coffee during a rainy day, fond smiles from a distance and secondhand embarrassment, aesthetic notes and reassuring hugs, impromptu trips at the small library around the corner, long sleeved, warm-toned sweaters and overalls, minimal aesthetic, overstuffed bookshelves and yellow sticky notes, small flowers and headphones.

💡: What are your favorite stims?

Okay I have too many stim toys to list them all here but generally I love ones that are kinda small and easy to just fidget with in one hand, like those infinity rings or those roller beads fidgets. I also love playing with slime but I'm super picky about the texture. Flapping and shaking my hands, snapping my fingers, rocking, bouncing my leg are also all body stims I do without even noticing half the time. Also I love cutting up certain fruits and vegetables (strawberries, dragonfruit, zucchini are so good).

When it comes to gifs/videos specifically, my favourite visual stims are slimes (especially glittery ones), food/cooking, and piping/cake decorating. My favourite video/audio stims are cutting/crushing anything that sounds crunchy (clay cracking and soap crushing is really good).

Bon Voyage ✈️ Disneyland with Jeon Jungkook

Genre: Fluff with Jungkook x Reader (Y/N)

Warnings: Rollercoasters and cute stuff. Probably the fluffiest thing I’ve written to date.

Summary: You’re both at Disneyland Paris for fun and frolics.

Reference: There for you by Martin Garrix and Troye Sivan

Word count: 389 words

Request: A special request for Disneyland JK with Mickey Mouse ears (of course he would) from @Ilikealotofmusic - Enjoy

A/N: This is probably the Fluffiest thing I’ve ever written. I’m slightly disgusted with myself but you know, there’s no way in hell this didn’t deserve to be fluffy.

- - -

It’s been a long day already and it’s not even time for the parade yet. Queuing to get into the park super early and ever since running through fake cobbled streets to get to rides in time. Your veins are full of sugar, Disney songs and love as he grips your hand tight, your fingers interlinked as he’s pulling you through crowds of families between roller coasters. He glances back every so often to throw you the cheesiest grin. Jungkook’s fully in his element here, looking like he belongs amongst the Disney crew.

You’re running from Main Street USA towards Tomorrowland, heading straight for Space Mountain. Time is running out on your queue jump ticket so you’re darting and weaving, creating a path through the crowds as you arrive just in time to skip the hoards of people. 

Water bottles in hand, you join your space in the shortened line, catching your breath. Gguk is laughing at you panting away, yet he’s out of breath himself. A smirk spreading across his face as he pours water down his throat quenching his thirst. Beads of sweat rolling down the curves on his neck, tastefully. You fluster but luckily your rosy cheeks hide your blush. ‘Cut it out. Save that for later,’ you tell yourself, ‘This is a family place’. 

As your turn arrives, you sit in your seat fidgeting to get comfortable as the harnesses drop. You’re a little nervous as the staff do their checks before the ride sets off. The rocket-shaped car turns the corner, the track inclining in what looks like the inside of a canon, glimpses of the park to your left and right. The ride’s holding you in suspense before the g-force kicks in. Time seems to standstill. Like it’s taking forever for the ride to ‘take off’. You close your eyes, your nerves getting the best of you. You hold the handles with a white-knuckled grip. 

In the anticipation, you feel fingers intertwining with yours. Gguk knows you love coasters, but it’s the suspense that sets your nerves on edge. You open your eyes, looking right at him. Mickey Mouse ears and all, his grin so big that he can barely see. You burst into laughter at the sight before you just as the ride releases, sending you both screaming around the track.

Like what you’re reading? Head over to the Bon Voyage Masterlist.

Pet Paradise Bead Kit - Chemist Warehouse, $6.50 AUD.

No online listing is available.

This is currently on half-price sale; the full price is $12.99 AUD. If you’re after a kit to get you started on making animal-themed bead fidgets, I think this is a pretty decent way to begin--with one big proviso.

If you buy this, don’t throw out the box. Or do what I did, which was to cut off the front panel (easier to store) and then recycle the rest. Don’t throw out the box, because if you do, you won’t be able to make the animal fidgets.

Despite the back of the box saying “easy to follow instructions”, the instruction sheet only tells you how to thread a single row of beads. If you’ve made any of these before, it’s not so difficult to look at the images on the box and copy them, but if you haven’t, you’d be lost. If you do what I tend to do and open the kit, recycle the box and then go to make the bead fidgets some time later, you’d be beyond lost with no image references. The instructions aren’t easy to follow and there are no real, specific instructions for copying the animals on the front, rendering them useless.

I’ve previously posted tutorials for the beaded gecko and the beaded ladybird. There are also more tutorials on this reblogged post, which have options for butterflies. I would make these first, using those tutorials, just to get the feel of how to thread the beads together. Only then would I copy the other animals from the front of the box.

I have to say that I do like that the kit comes with a storage box. Everything fits within it and it makes it easy to store the beads. It also comes with a good array of colours, and the metallic beads are gorgeous. For the sale price, it isn’t a bad way to start, since you get everything you need but scissors and instructions.

I plan on making the animals in this kit, so I can later discuss things like if they provided the right amount of beads and how easy the animals are to make from copying the box image.

I do like this kit, but I was expecting to get clear instructions on how to make the different animals--it’s most of the reason I bought it, as I have plenty of beads already. If you have no beading experience, it is still a good way to get started, but the lack of instructions provided is absurd.
