You know what they should make next? Power Pups plush.

Oh my god, that would actually be the best! 💖 And honestly, your ask just inspired me to want to attempt to make my own Power Pup plushie… honestly, I should try it… 👀

[dinosaurcharcuterie]

I saw the Barbie movie and never longed for the instructions on how to make something more. Not that color, not that lining, but that mood.

And someone saw the same movie and just went "Yeah, I can make that happen".

They don't know I exist, they just knew people like me exist. And then put my dreams on sale for £7.20 while offer lasts, plus the willingness to transcribe YT instructions.

I got my labret swapped for a ring! I'm super pleased with how it looks, but I do need to relearn how to smile- apparently I pull up one side of my mouth more, which is made more obvious with the ring there.

God I love these two

Just started reading the PPG comics and I love this?!?! Look at my baby!

Also can’t forget these images of Mojo.

And the girly pops

[turtles-invoked]

I keep thinking about different ways Cas could potentially escape the empty and find his way back to Sam and Dean.

The scenario that sticks out the most to me is that Sam and Dean would be driving along the highway, dead silence, after finishing a case that Sam dragged Dean along too but then got mad at him when Dean nearly kills himself going into the fight alone.

So they’re driving along, Dean’s face stone cold, Sam pouty and angry at Dean when Cas just appears at the side of the road.

No big deal. Dean’s been seeing Cas a lot lately. More so during exhaustion.

Sam bolts upright and looks in the rear but Dean keeps driving.

“Dean!” He shouts when Cas appears again, nearly hit in the process and this time Dean slams on the breaks because ‘Sam can see him too?’

They barely pull over before Sam springs out of the car, angel blade aimed and ready, Dean’s gun locked and loaded despite potentially being useless.

“What are you!” Dean yells at him

“It’s me, I’m… me…” Cas would say weakly, voice strained, hands up surrenderring.

“Yeah right,” Dean says and shoots the ground next to him as a warning, “start talking!”

Cas’s eyes open wide and panic floods his face.

“Dean, maybe it-”

“Cas is dead, Sam!” Dean interrupts.

Sam goes to the trunk and opens the duffle, grabs the flask of holy water and a silver knife.

Gun still aimed at Cas’s face, Sam walks up to him and splashes him with the water. Cas holds out his arm to allow Sam to cut him with the silver. Cas then drops his angel blade and cuts along right next to it, small blue electric beads of grace glistening at the opening before sewing the skin back together.

Dean swallows, hope weighing the pit in his gut down.

“He checks out,” Sam says stowing his angel blade away.

“How did you get out?” Dean questions, still defensive, still in disbelief.

Cas’s deep blue eyes bite into Dean’s soul “I honestly, I have no idea. I woke up on a shore in Brazil. I had my grace, my wings, but my geographical locationing was… off…”

“… and you’re warded against me, that’s why it took so long to find you… the both of you…”

Dean swallows, as Sam embraces Cas, welcoming him back, exclaiming how happy he is to see him but Dean still isn’t sure.

“Dude, what more do you want?” Sam says stepping aside.

“You’re buying this? The empty spat him out somewhere exotic and he just happened to get lost finding his way back, I’m sorry, but I’m not,” Dean says, not allowing himself to believe that Cas really is here and in front of him, mojo and everything, “Remember what Billie told you? No one comes back from the empty!”

“I remember everything…” Cas starts slowly.

Deans breath catches in his chest.

“The empty, our fight… our- our goodbye. I remember it all. Every word,” he says.

‘I love you’ Casteil’s voice plays rewind inside Dean’s mind. He remembers every word, every micro expression, every feeling as the words were said to him. He’s replayed them every day since he’s been gone.

Deans eyes sting with unshed tears instantly, a lump in his throat. His mouth opens and closes a few times, mind racing, body tingling. He swallows the emotion building up in his throat and frowns.

Cas starts to walk towards him but his holds the gun firmer in his grip.

“You really did change me, Dean. For the better. I thought about you… and-and Sam, every day. I, quite literally, fell in love with you. And whether you feel the same or not, I still mean it,” he finishes.

And that’s all Dean needs to flick the gun on safety, shove it in his waistband and storm over to cas, pulling him into a bone crushing hug, allowing the tears to silently roll down his cheeks.

He holds Cas, allowing himself to breathe and hope, and feel Cas in his arms, ‘he’s back’.

But his then he moves into the anger and it gets the better of him. He lets go of their embrace and grabs Cas by the lapels of his trench coat and shoves him without letting go, because he doesn’t think he could ever let go despite how angry and upset he is now.

“How stupid are you!” He yells and shoves him again, still holding on, scared to lose him again.

“You don’t just say crap like that and then-and then leave,” he shoves him a third time.

“You needed to know,” Cas says, letting Dean push him around, “I needed you to know,” he corrects himself, eyes never leaving Dean’s own.

“I-” Dean starts, but he chokes on his words. Can’t quite get those last three out, “I-” he tries again but something deep in his chest won’t let him say want he wants nothing more than to.

But Cas gives him a knowing smile, “I know,” he says gently.

Dean starts to feel overwhelmed. Still angry and upset, but warm and tingly and that hopefully flutter is back in his stomach. He stares at Cas’s sympathetic smile and his heart pounds hard behind his ribs.

Dean pulls Cas into him and their bodies crash together and he kisses him, hard, short, and sweet. Cas’s arms wrap around him, holding him flush against him and Dean swears he sighs into the kiss.

Sam clears his throat behind them and chuckles and suddenly Dean is very aware of Cas’ hands on his waist.

They pull away, Cas is practically beaming, in fact he is glowing ever so slightly, eyes shining brighter than normal.

“You okay, Cas?” Sam asks nervously.

Dean takes a step back as Cas starts to vibrate ever so slightly, a soft high pitched whine radiating off of Cas.

“It’s just… m-my grace,” he stutters and squeezes his eyes closed.

Cas takes a couple of deep breaths, his fists clenched at his sides and within a few seconds the aura around him dims and the whine silences.

“What the hell was that?” Dean asks concerned.

Cas blushes, “sorry… I was… overwhelmed…”

Sam chuckles behind him and Dean turns around to glare at him.

“Are you alright?” He asks not moving closer.

Cas nods, “very much so,” Cas says genuinely and now it’s Dean’s turn to blush.

Sam chuckles again and claps Dean on the shoulder, “let’s go home.”

Dean watches Sam walk to the drivers side but get into the back of the car.

Cas smiles at Dean and they slide in too, Cas in shotgun and they head home. And if Dean’s hand rested on Cas’ thigh the whole way there, well, he needed the physical reminder that Cas was back and sitting next to him.

I dunno it’s just a thought I keep having. I Love the idea of Cas losing control of his grace / powers when Dean shows affection towards him. I also haven’t seen the later seasons I’m up to season 11 episode 6 or 7 I’m getting there though just very slowly 😅

jimmy !!! (4 the ask game ^_^)

Send Me a Character!

First impression Loved the guy, he's the king of catchiness in WarioWare. His family is neat too. ...I am confused at child me being obsessed with the guy's levels in both Touched and DIY but NEVER drawing the fellow himself.

Impression now I still love him, but well...it's not a fixation love. He has bigger fans and generally I think of him and them favorably. I like thinking about his chill side these days, which was his mojo back then. But man...me and a friend made cursed memes with him too. We love Jimothy Thang.

Favorite moment Watching his butt groove in Body Rock. Him bonding with the Cat dancers in Smooth Moves. The umbrella in the rain thing is stinking cute. I love it when he's sweet on kitties.

Idea for a story Him offering Ana ear plugs when she gets overstimulated by the club music and crowds. He privately confesses to her that the ear covering he wears are able to reduce noise when needed. He also knows she's not good with headphones, hence the plugs.

Unpopular opinion ...idk. I haven't heard a lot of Jimbit opinions. I do think he should have more fanart, any kind. Maybe he should also have dudes in his posse of ladies. Trying not to stick my nose into y'alls business. Also I vibe with him being trans. It's just not my default thought when it comes to him. This also applies to Penny too.

Favorite relationship Him and Joe make an interesting team. As an ambivert, I can relate to Jimmy coming out of his shell to drag Joe out of...well Joe's shell. Both are naturally shy, but can pull off a huge bravado of a personality when they feel like it. At least...that'll be my explanation on why both of them kinda "swapped" the 'verts. They just have both.

Favorite headcanon He gave the twins the cat plushies seen in Laundry Day the gold microgame version. Dribble might've made them though. Or maybe Jimmy sews...it's a mystery.

idk if you've been asking this already, but did you know there's a mojo jojo woobles kit now? I saw it recently and instantly thought of your blog

I’ve never heard of Woobles until today! I saw that they have the girls too, but of course, this is the best one. He is so cute!

The problem is that if I bought this, it would go into the bin that includes all of my unfinished crochet, sewing, and felting projects. …either that, or I guess now I have to challenge myself to finish all of those projects so I can make him? 🤔

[zukkacore]

(Put together by someone who likes dress up a little slutty or masc. or ideally, both. & who has a budget and very little sewing skills but annoyingly will commit to a bit. So pls take that into consideration ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

P.s. to elaborate on being beetlejuice-pilled rn I saw it not too long ago and there were so many ppl dressed up in Lydia wedding dresses and beetlejuice suits and just generally black and white stripes it was so fun esp bc I’ve generally been taught that going to the theater is a somewhat formal affair so seeing so many grownups just straight up cosplaying was great

[skettchyartendevours]

I should probably mention, I've started making the Starscream plush!! Been pretty unmotivated the past few days, but while I was at the library I managed to get my mojo back and do a decent amount of hand-sewing. I'll post more on the matter once I've gotten the machine-sewn portion done!

[nalyra-dreaming]

Quiz anon here! The weirdness can be all the way, turned up to an 11, or just leaning more towards funny. Doesn’t matter :)

Alright!!

I have a few questions, with answers, definitely weird, not sure about funny?^^

I'm putting them under the cut just in case someone wants to be surprised when they run across your quiz?

(Also, I'd love a link to it when you're done?^^)

Which weird fixation that is talked about a LOT became plain in "Blackwood Farm" (and I don't mean the twin-ghost-sex here!)? Answer: Cameos.

Which character kept rats as pets? Answer: Santino

How did Derek procreate? Answer: His cut off arm grew a mouth and he nursed it.

How did Lestat still his hunger when he returned from heaven, hell, and purgatory? Answer: He went down on Dora, who had her period. With David and Armand watching.

What does Fareed create for the vampires that made him instantly famous? Answer: A sex cocktail/infusion. He gave it to Lestat, asked him to have sex and then took Lestat's semen to create a child with it also.

What does Armand do to Claudia book canonically? Answer: He chops off her head an sews it onto another body, and then puts her into the sun when the little experiment does not work to his satisfaction.

Where do the vampires - ultimately - originate from? Answer: Technically from bird-like aliens from "Bravenna", who created replimoids who then built Atalantaya with humans and when it was destroyed Amel, one of the replimoids, became a spirit... which later went into Akasha to make her the first blood drinker.

What does Lestat lose when he escapes purgatory? Answer: His left eye. (He gets it back)

How many wolves does Lestat slay? Answer: Eight

These are all I could think of off the top of my head - I mean, there's loads, and loads of lore... hmu if you want to know something specific, maybe?!

15 questions 15 mutuals

Tagged by the wonderful and kind @exlibrisfangirl. Thank you my dear <3

1. Are you named after anyone? Nope, I named myself. XD. Though I choose the name Ben because I love Obi-Wan Kenobi, so I could argue I named myself after one of my favorite characters.

2. When was the last time you cried? A few days ago actually. I don't cry easily anymore, but I tend to cry at least a few times a week.

3. Do you have kids? Thankfully no, but I have a goddaughter.

4. What sports do you play/have you played? I played Field Hockey for 18 years. I was a goalie. And until my teens I was really good at climbing ropes, trees, rock walls, etc. I also love swimming and walking, though these days I can't do many kinds of sports anymore due to chronic illness.

5. Do you use sarcasm? Sarcasm, is that a thing? Never heard of it. /s

6. What’s the first thing you notice about someone? Energy/presence. Body language. Vibes. I'm pretty good at determining someone's vibes by meeting them. To a point of hypersensitivity to it. Makes interacting with people so difficult.

7. What’s your eye color? Blue with central heterochromia. I have a brown-yellow ring around my pupil.

8. Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings! I do like some scary movies like ready or not, but only if the endings are happy.

9. Any talents? Giving feedback (So I've been told). I would like to say writing, but I'm very insecure about that due to being told I fucking suck by a published author. (It hurt me badly.) Looking things up/researching/investigation. You need to find random facts or sources? I'm your dude.

10. Where were you born? Asten, The Netherlands. Try pointing to that on a map without looking it up. I dare you.

11. What are your hobbies? Reading, writing, watching TV/movies, sewing, cosplay,

12. Do you have any pets? Yara, the most dangerous German Shepherd ever TM (she's a baby with a manual). Who I rescued after my abuser and sperm donor didn't want her anymore either. I couldn't let him discard her as well. And the late Mojo (my ESA) who unfortunately passed away earlier this year. I miss him, but he's still my baby. His ashes are home.

13. How tall are you? 5'4"

14. Favorite subject in school? Chemistry, Biology, History. I loved learning and reading all the random facts.

15. Dream job? To be a writer and research dietician. Living in my small apartment / accessible home while writing my books and contributing to nutrition research for a better world.

tagging anyone who wants to do it, have fun!

May not look like it, but this guy is indeed part of the original continuity tmnt iteration I'm doing, called Sideways Skateboards. He's kind of this universe's "mystic force", like how rottmnt had the yokai and mystic mojo. More about him under the cut, as well as world lore for Sideways Skateboards.

His name is Hi Hi, which can be written as one word, two, or with a hyphen, and he's a self-described agent of chaos. The 'God' bit is untrue, as he's really more of a force, not something that people would notice and worship. In the Sideways Skateboards universe, North America looks a bit different. Here's a very sketchy map of it:

Scientists theorize that this region of the world once looked very different, but some huge seismic or even meteoric event caused there to be a huge rift that carves right through North America and Mexico. That big red dot is New San Francisco, this world's combination San Fran and New York, and where the turtles reside. And unbeknownst to them, the land NSF was built on was the place where the great chaos spirit, Yonchi, made its last appearance 5000 years ago. Its said that the spirit had 2 sides: Hi-Hi, the creator, and Yonchi, the destructor. There used to be balance between the 2, but Yonchi became too greedy, wishing to blight the entire connected landmass. So Hi-Hi swallowed Yonchi whole, sewing his teeth with a needle and thread so they could never escape. But if he simply tried to hold back all the chaos in his throat, he would surely choke, so he opened great holes in his teeth so that little bits of negativity could leak out and keep him from dying.

WHOOF that was a lot of lore, but I hope everyone enjoyed it. I'm gonna be getting the first chapter of the TMNT: Sideways Skateboards fic out soon, so I can turn this into an actual thing and not just a few reference pics. For now, please enjoy a few more concept pictures of the 2 spirits. Cheers! Here's another of Hi-Hi...

One of Yonchi....

And one of them both.

Who's that Pokemon? What's that Anime?

Been putting off working on this for a few days, which is a mistake. Cut vinyl stencils for these 'patches' and applied them and the first coat of paint to the fabric last night.

Applied second coat of paint this morning. Still have a lot of sewing to do on the vest : / ... I think I have enough fabric left for the finishing details, but it's just tricky ... going sort of ad lib from a pattern meant for something different.

...Pray for Mojo...
