Well, hello.

A couple months ago one silly woman (me) decided that it’s time for creativity to take a hold of her and let something cool into this world.

And that’s how I decided to give birth to…a The Amazing Devil blanket. Or I might have dreamed it whilst being feverish. Who knows.

It’s been three months of stitching, embroidering, sewing, unmaking the mistakes, cursing, saying ‘waahheeey’ at the end of the complete step, cursing again and enjoying the hell out of the process of something being made into the realness.

It is literally the embodiment of me. I love it and hate it equally. It has got my favourite quotes from the songs. Yes, that’s me — your favourite girl with maelstrom of lyrics instead of a brain. It also has got some of my blood somewhere along the stitches (did i do it on purpose to please the fae gods aka Joey and Madeleine? you’ll never know. hashtag blood magic.) I wanted to get it done for the Ruin Appreciation Week (though it contains lyrics from all albums) so that was me last week because it was very FAR from being done:

I’m posting the bigger picture + close ups of smaller details and songs’ lyrics. Please feel free to reach out if you want to see a better close up or just to pat me on the head.

I’m posting a video too. It’s silly so enjoey. (ha! see what I did here. that was a typing accident. it’s 1am now. forgive me my jokes.)

warning: the video include some probably offensive actions to the professional seamstresses. i’m only a humble ignorant person who decided to sew for the first time in her life. i do hope you’ll like it.

references used:

the central embroidery: TAD’s old picture from some posters back in the love run era + some sage and forget-me-nots

top right and left bottom corners: pictures of joey and madeleine

songs: secret worlds, the calling, inkpot gods, drinking song for the socially anxious, chords, farewell wanderlust, not yet/love run (reprise), that unwanted animal, battle cries, elsa’s song, wild blue yonder

UPD: A few of you have been asking about the quotes I used on my blanket/quilt and why I chose them so here I am:

If you ask me for my fire, just watch me burn — you know what, I recently started to interpret this line in a positive way? It was a recent thing I understood about myself. I always thought I was good at working/doing things well in the long run, when you have to do it patiently and for years but in my journey of self-discovery I realized that in reality I’m much better as a sprinter — someone who does an incredible job while being under the vast amount of pressure and when you need to do it in a restricted period of time; I will give all of myself to this project/work, every bit of passion I have, every bit of patience. So yeah. If you ask me for my fire — just watch me burn. But then I’ll hibernate for a month.

Can’t you hear it howling? — OKAY HANDS DOWN PROBABLY MY FAVOURITE LYRICS/MELODY SECTION FROM THE WHOLE RUIN ALBUM. Even not the part that is sung by Madeleine, but the back voices Joey’s harmonies sing in the final chorus at 4:28 and till the end. OOOOH WHY SO GOOD.

If I don’t make it back from where i’ve gone just know I loved you all along — this is such a beautiful closing of the song. also such a tormenting thought. i love it.

Such endless blue — I’ve always been drawn to the dark blue colours, especially when I paint. I always run out of the blue watercolour because contrary to this song, it’s not endless :D I’m manifesting an abyss of blue watercolour for myself here lol

You say the words so often but I barely know the meaning — okay so Elsa’ Song is primarily pretty heartbreaking right? The more heartbreaking part being that it is sung as a lullaby. Who didn’t have that moment when the meaning of the words you’re saying slips through your fingers just because you said them too often? Who didn’t have that sad awakening moment of losing trust in a person just because they always promised something and never did it?

After summers of fasting I feel hunger at last — I’ve been thinking about tattooing this quote for quite a while now. It reminds me of my depressive state which very often returned to me in summer and every time it slowly creeped away, I felt the hunger for life in the early autumn. Every time felt like an eternity.

Is nought but fumble-falls and guns and tumbleweeds, love, run — my favourite quote from the superior use of the English language that is that section in Love Run. I am in love with it. All the phonetic twirls makes me shiver sometimes.

Well, hello my hollow Holofernes — ALLITERATION SUPREMACY!!

I’ll sing silence and ask my glass of wine for guidance — i love to sit at home alone and stare into my glass. it doesn’t answer though. what about it. and again — to sing silence? OXYMORONS GIVE ME THEM

Go tell me how we fucked you up and oh my god, it’s so unfair — ah. the hardship of parenting/teaching. I was there, I remember it all too well.

Let’s us waltz for the dead — the oxymoronic style of this line IS JUST A CHEF’S KISS. WALTZ? VERY SOPHISTICATED THING? FOR THE DEAD? NOT THAT PLEASANT TYPE OF A THING? mister batey let me boop you affectionately on the nose you are so clever.

‘don’t you think I look pretty curled up on this bathroom floor?’ | The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace by The Amazing Devil

please welcome my fourth work of the Inspired by AI series and this is The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace by The Amazing Devil!

here’s what I do: there’s this awesome AI called Wombo Art which creates paintings if you give it a prompt; basically I just type a line from a song and it gives me a ‘reference’ which I use ♥️

p.s: This time instead of a simple timelapse I made a silly little video of me dancing through the painting process because people must know the truth behind my artistic process lol

twn season 3: petition to include silly funny scenes

i've seen many wishes/expectations for season three of the witcher so i decided to join so there's a russian humour improvisation show and one of their games is called 'Electric Shockers' which is basically a game where they are out in a random situation/set while wearing electric-shockers-thingy on their arms. Their task is to improvise a scene and to guess what one particular action they are not allowed to do while acting. If they are doing this action, the host activates the shockers (lol this sounds very sadistic when i'm describing it). ANYWAY. Recently they did A Witcher Improvisation Scene and I made english subtitles for it! I just need goofy Geralt and Jaskier scenes like that in the next season, is it too much to ask? :D

(note: i'll explain a few jokes under the cut here because some of them were impossible to translate and i had to play around with the lines a little)

- in the last task when they are not allowed to say more than three words it's hard to translate some of their lines with the same number of words in English as in Russian. So for example the phrase "what did you say?" actually has 2 words in original so that's why they didn't use the shocker on him there. - in the lines "a witch. a sentence. a hat?" and in the very end in "if tossed, then valuable" they are trying out saying different words with different letters because in the older version of this game the main task was to guess one letter which they weren't allowed to use. Some of the letters in russian alphabet are just used more rarely than the others, so that's why he was just choosing random words that suited the theme while trying to test the theory with the letter.

- "these coins were tossed to you" OH BOY this one is complicated. The literal translation would be "This is a minted/hammered coin". He uses the reference to the russian version of Toss A Coin To Your Witcher, which is "pay with a HAMMERED coin to your witcher, a hammered coin" (1. the word order is different so the coin itself has the prominence in the sentence. idk how to explain that. 2. instead "o valley of plenty" there's "a hammered coin" again which helps the prominence). So I decided to throw it all away and just play around with the phrase "toss a coin". Which kinda bit me in the ass later becauseee they started using the word "hammered" to guess a letter and this doesn't make much sense in English :D So the line "if it was tossed to you, then valuable" was actually "if it is hammered, then valuable". I tried to interpret it in my best abilities lol
