Hey kids, it's your favorite day-themed jester animatronic, now in puppet form! Doesn't it make you want to keep the lights on?

Combining three things guaranteed (unverified-source required) to keep a kid from shutting the lights off in the daycare, this silly fella is what I drew on @daycarefriendpickup's latest Magma.

Closeups, plus sketch and alternate version below cut.

The glue for the googly eyes and button was originally regular white glue, but I eventually came to my senses and used the correct type.

Also, I almost made the legs/pants look like that rough sketch and no, I have no idea why when I had the arms done accordion style in that same exact picture.

[the-feeling-of-being-watched]

made this for a friend on discord and really liked how it came out !! hello daycare attendant enjoyer community.

(10/10, great pattern. Do this one if you're trying to learn how to read crochet charts.)

Rewatching The Bear 2x03 is actually crazy and feels so clarifying because like...

The ep starts with Carmy speaking at Al-Anon about fun, and how maybe he needs to have more of it. He acknowledges that fun is complicated for him because as a kid his family tended to ruin things for him, even though this was often unintentionally done. He says that he thinks if he had more amusement or enjoyment in his own life then it would be easier to provide that for other people. (Big note here that part of the purpose OF a restaurant is to provide amusement and enjoyment for people. Then add in Luca's conversation with Marcus in 2x04 about how the best food comes from being open and inspired, and spending time in the world. So Carmy having fun could theoretically make him better at his job.)

Anyway, Carmy gives that spiel at Al-Anon. Then we get a brief interlude of Syd looking at articles about recent restaurant closings and being stressed.

And then we're immediately back with Syd and Carmy cooking together in his kitchen. She fucks up a dish again, and he suggests they stop cooking and do a palate reset.

Like... this all happens within the first five minutes of the ep. This man has been musing about how he needs to have more fun.... and then he suggests spending the day eating in the city with Syd..... ergo that's his definition of fun. This is literally him making an attempt at doing something for amusement or enjoyment!! He planned this!! I fully believe he had this idea even before Sydney fucked up the dish. This man said I need to have more fun and you know what would be fun? Spending the day with my business partner eating delicious food. So he sends her home with plans to meet in an hour.

And then. AND THEN. Claire calls. First of all when she asks if he's busy, he looks at the white board and the very first thing on the To Do list is "call fridge guy" so like. lmao. I love foreshadowing. And he literally is busy!!! Not with unpleasant tasks to do but with something FUN. Something fun that he planned FOR himself.

And what is it that Claire asks him to do? Is it something fun? No. She asks him to HELP HER MOVE her mom. Like, the least fun task in the history of anything, the thing that people historically HATE being asked to help with. And he doesn't look excited about it! He looks torn. He looks...weird idk. Like ohhhh it's actually so crazy that Carmy bails on a truly fun day with Sydney in order to do a manual labor favor for Claire.

This is so ripe for analysis you simply cannot tell me it doesn't mean anything.

Carmy thinks about how he needs more fun, plans a fun day for himself, and then, when someone he tried to avoid asks him to do a not fun favor, he says yeah, I'll do that instead.

Austin (as Bronco): [cautiously] E to you too. Um, how can I help you, E?

Keith (as Eclectic): Do you read me? It’s E.

Keith (as Eclectic): I just need a little—

Austin (as Bronco): Like a disease.

Keith (as Eclectic): I just need some information. No, like— no! Like information gets around.

Austin (as Bronco): Only if you're not careful with it. Keith (as Eclectic): [cross] Fuck!

Keith (as Eclectic): I mean, I guess that’s true for both.

Austin (as Bronco): No.

Keith (as Eclectic): If you're not careful with a disease, it still gets around?

Austin (as Bronco): Certain diseases.

Keith (as Eclectic): Bronco, shut the fuck up. [Austin and Sylvia laugh]

Dre: Wow!

Austin (as Bronco): Oh, I'm just busting your balls, Eclectic.

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah. Okay.

Austin (as Bronco): What do you need from me? What do you— you need some bodyguard services? You hit the big time?

Keith (as Eclectic): No, I need information. I'm still…I guess I'm still small time.

Austin (as Bronco): Oh, small time Eclectic.

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah. 

Dre: You hate to see it.

Austin (as Bronco): Small time Opposition. [sighs] Little small time Eclectic Opposition.

Austin (as Bronco): What about ‘em? You know I don't— you know I'm a City City boy.

Keith (as Eclectic): I know you're a City City boy. You seen the towers? You seen the smokestacks?

Austin (as Bronco): Ah, the Motion thing.

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah, the Motion thing. Great. Okay, so you know something.

Austin (as Bronco): Eh.

Austin: Roll your—

Keith (as Eclectic): Can I—

Austin: Yeah, keep talking.

Keith (as Eclectic): Can I please know it also?

Austin (as Bronco): What do you not know? You're big time Eclectic, going to the—

Keith (as Eclectic): [cross] I'm big time.

Austin (as Bronco): [cross] Leaving City City— leaving City City behind.

Keith (as Eclectic): Sure, big time Eclectic needs some big time information. I'm 20 feet tall.

Austin (as Bronco): You're 20 feet tall. You already know everything. That’s why you left us!

Dre: Wow.

Austin (as Bronco): Already knows all about the world. Doesn't need to stay in City City, the future city. You don't want to stay in City City?

Keith (as Eclectic): Are you in City City still?

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, I'm in City City still.

Keith (as Eclectic): And you opened your own thing?

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, I got my own little thing on Wednesdays.

Keith (as Eclectic): On Wednesdays?

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah. I'm—

Keith (as Eclectic): So you're doing— you got your old thing, and then on Wednesdays, you have your own thing.

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, on Wednesdays, I got my own thing. Doing a little time share, aren't I?

Keith (as Eclectic): Okay. Okay.

Austin (as Bronco): A little office space time share, splitting it up.

Keith (as Eclectic): Time share.

Austin (as Bronco): Wednesdays, that’s time for my share.

Keith (as Eclectic): Okay.

Dre: Mm.

Keith (as Eclectic): Do you get to keep your stuff there, or gotta clean it out?

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, you gotta get a little, uh, rotate, a little rotate closet.

Keith (as Eclectic): Okay. Well—

Austin (as Bronco): You hit the button, it rotates, you get your stuff, you lay it out.

Keith (as Eclectic): No. Okay. Long story short, I don't know shit about these factories.

Austin (as Bronco): [condescending laugh]

Keith (as Eclectic): And I would like to know everything about them.

Austin (as Bronco): Little baby boy Eclectic needs his information bottle, huh? [Sylvia and Dre laugh]

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah. I'm thirsty!

Austin (as Bronco): Thirsty for information. [Sylvia laughs] Classic Clectie.

Dre: No. No!

Ali: Oh, yes. [Keith laughs]

Austin (as Bronco): Now, what are we talking about? You looking, uh, you looking to buy? You looking to trade? You looking to steal? [Sylvia laughs]

Keith (as Eclectic): Define steal. Like, from you?

Austin (as Bronco): Well, that’d be an insulting thing to do, wouldn't it?

Keith (as Eclectic): [laughs] It would be. I'm surprised you offered.

Austin (as Bronco): I wasn't offering. I was trying to find out what you're looking to do.

Keith (as Eclectic): No, I'm not trying to steal. I'm trying to just have, if I could.

Austin (as Bronco): Oh. He’s trying to have.

Dre: Mm.

Austin: Give me a roll.

Keith: Okay.

Austin: So, 2d6 plus 1. 1s are 6s.

Keith: 10!

Austin: That is a 10. 5 plus 4 plus 1 is a 10. On a 10 plus, [Keith: Oof.] they let slip something big.

(as Bronco): You know what, I don't think I'm gonna tell you shit. Big boy Eclectic leaves the city behind. [Keith laughs quietly] He goes, “Oh, I'm such a big boy. I can go wherever I want to go. I don't need to check in at work. I can no-call no-show and leave my partner up to his shins in shit!”

Keith (as Eclectic): Look, City City’s not a place for a guy who can rapidly change from big to small over and over and over again for a whole fucking conversation.

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, well, some of us have to live our lives the same size day in day out and make the best of what we got.

Keith (as Eclectic): You could have come! Anybody could have come!

Austin (as Bronco): I bet you don't know shit about these factories. [Sylvia laughs] You come to me. You don't know the first thing. You don't know there’s 20 of them. You don't know that if 5 of them get knocked off inside of one hour that the whole thing goes down. You don't know that they're trying to build a bunch of different Motions running around, biting people’s kneecaps and whatnot. You don't know the first thing about what’s going on on Palisade, do you, buddy?

Keith (as Eclectic): Nope.

Austin (as Bronco): Mid-size Eclectic.

Dre: Damn. Get bodied.

Austin (as Bronco): I'm just a middle of the road regular guy. I'm just a regular guy!

Keith (as Eclectic): You're just a regular guy.

Austin (as Bronco): I'm just a regular guy. I'm Eclectic.

Keith (as Eclectic): Oh, I'm just a regular— yeah, I'm just a regular guy.

Austin (as Bronco): Fuck you.

Keith (as Eclectic): Fuck you!

Austin (as Bronco): Fuck you! How about this? How about fuck you, buddy?

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah, how about go fuck yourself.

Austin (as Bronco): How about fuck you.

Keith (as Eclectic): You're Buddy! You're literally Buddy!

Austin (as Bronco): You're buddy! I'm Buddy Bronco!

Keith (as Eclectic): You're Buddy.

Austin (as Bronco): I'm Buddy Bronco? I'm BB? You're buddy.

Keith (as Eclectic): You're baby?

Austin (as Bronco): You're baby buddy. [Sylvia laughs]

Keith (as Eclectic): YOU’RE baby, Buddy. Being a baby.

Austin (as Bronco): Also, you owe me a bowling match, don't you, you piece of shit? [Sylvia laughs]

Keith (as Eclectic): I won that match.

Austin (as Bronco): No, it got called off in the final frame. We don't know what was gonna happen.

Keith (as Eclectic): [shouting] I was up by 180!

Austin (as Bronco): Didn't finish the game. That’s an incomplete. [Sylvia and Ali laugh]

Keith (as Eclectic): It was mathematically impossible for you to win five frames in!

Austin (as Bronco): No such thing as impossible, only improbable.

Keith (as Eclectic): Fine.

Austin (as Bronco): I want the rematch.

Keith (as Eclectic): Fine.

Austin (as Bronco): Next time you're in City City, it’s me and you, buddy.

Keith (as Eclectic): Double or nothing.

Austin (as Bronco): Quadruple. You're gonna need it, those big pockets.

Keith (as Eclectic): I'm the nothing. You're the quadruple.

Austin (as Bronco): You're the quintuple. 

Keith (as Eclectic): You're the octuple.

Austin (as Bronco): You're twice the size of me but half the man.

Keith (as Eclectic): You're… [struggling]

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, uh huh.

Keith (as Eclectic): A fucking shit. You're a big human shit. [Sylvia laughs]

Austin (as Bronco): That’s right, I'm a human shit, and I'm proud of it. Now get the fuck off my line. I got work to do.

Sylvia: [quietly] Oh my fucking god.

Keith: Click.

Austin: Clonk. [Ali laughs]

Dre: Oh, clonked you.

Ali: Damn, he clonked you. [Austin laughs]

Keith: Clonked me. Fuck!

Sylvia: Oh, word?

Ali: You just got clonked. [laughter] 

Sylvia: Damn, Eclectic, you okay? You look like someone just clonked you. [Austin laughs]

Dre: I don't want to talk about it.

Keith: I got clonked!

s4 tomshiv is murdering me...the tension is so peak, matthew macfadyen and sarah snook have so much fucking chemistry, the history between tom and shiv is more dynamic and layered with every line of dialogue, they're insane, i'm insane, never has the line between love and hatred, desire and disgust, been more fluid, i'm going to gnaw off my own arm...thank you and goodnight

[moregraceful]

and i did say to my friends on wednesday nothing else needs to happen this week. i can't take anything else happening, i need nothing to happen for the rest of the week. i did say that. after an $700 vet visit, a job offer, everything around the bchl team research situation, that debacle in the trolley station, that cultural experience in the dive bar, on wednesday i said i'm fucking done with this week and nothing else is going to happen. and what happened? i got a full ride to my top school and danny cheese traded frostbee. i hope a meteor explodes my street next. no i don't they'll never fix the pothole that creates

After a very long and stressful few weeks lately, I found myself exhausted, overwhelmed and with absolutely no fucks left to give. So obviously, the only thing to do was make some more...

Initially based on a pattern bought from Ana.Mey.Crochets on Etsy, modified and tweaked in various directions by me. Inspired by @tkingfisher's famous phalloi drawings and the ancient Roman "fascinus" protective amulets, hence why these little guys have paws and wings (the latter of which, I suppose, technically makes them flying fucks...)

They are very tame btw and would make adorable pets:

(Technical details: Sirdar Happy Cotton amigurumi yarn in various shades, 3mm crochet hook.)

[aroworlds]

Aro Week is coming, so I'm working on a pride-themed cross-stitch project that's a bit more ambitious than my usual patches.

Unfortunately, as this piece will be set within a frame of limited width and "amatonormativity" is an abominably long word, it kind of looks less about giving amatonormativity the middle finger and more about my feelings towards three aros called "amato", "norma" and "itivity"....

Here's hoping that the end result--because I have more text to stitch above and below what's shown here--is a bit less ambiguous!
