#I think I got alt text in all of them

[cheadarchesse]

Here's my 2023 crafting year in review

Aro heart, first attempt at embroidery

silly patriotic apron for my mom

cat sweater featuring the cats we lost this year for my brother (Charlie and Kiki were in the middle, both 19. Jane Doe is on the ends, she's still with us and 3 years old)

My Magnus Archives sweater I made for me

llama jacket I made from the softest flannel I've ever owned

And, the first project of 2023, my sister's Van Gogh sweater

#I think I got alt text in all of them #lemme know if I missed any #Really proud of my progress on some of these #cheadar makes #knitting #knitblr #crochet #crochetblr #yarnblr #sewing #sewblr #not sure that last one is a thing #tma #the magnus archives #<- tagging as that bc that's why I made the eyeball sweater

It's so wild seeing the official Tazercraft account posting old videos of the boys doing random stuff when they were all teenagers, but it's also sorta sweet seeing Pac, Mike, Cellbit, and Felps all hanging out and being friends, even way back then. :')

#Cellbit #Pactw #Mikethelink #Felps #Tazercraft #Mike #Pac #IT'S REALLY SWEET... #I wonder when they got to know Bagi #it's just so cute seeing them all hanging out #I think that's the first time I've seen what Felps looked like as a teen #If anyone's wondering what they're saying #Cellbit's offering him some coxinha and Pac says he doesn't like it #and then Mike and Felps wander over and they're like ''why are you guys on the ground???'' #It's VERY cute seeing Cellbit's baby laugh when I'm so used to his normal laugh #or well I guess teenage-voice laugh #idk man I'm old. They're all babies to me in this video #Edit: Tumblr PLEASE stop deleting my alt text every time I try and post something with it #Not QSMP but QSMP adjacent so.... #QSMP #for my own sake so I can find it later #IRL #Please feel free to add a transcript / better translation in the replies or reblogs if you'd like! #I'm not a native Portuguese speaker so #if there's ever a translation I'm super iffy on I just won't add it #plus they aren't really saying much. the tags about sum it up

Gordon/Barney/Alyx is really really funny to me conceptually bc it's like, two hot geniuses in their 20s who look at the 40-something smartass who hangs around and go 'yeah that guy. we both want him carnally'

#and they're SO right #half life #half life 2 #gordon freeman #alyx vance #barney calhoun #freemance #valhoun #freehounce #idk what the hell their poly ship name is sorry lol #(me. posting about a ship with an age gap on the 'can't be normal about age gap ships' website: #SURE HOPE THERE ISN'T ANY AGE GAP DISCOURSE IN HERE) #this was the first time I've drawn any of these characters in LITERAL YEARS and. wow........ #feels so crazy that this was the fandom that got me to join tumblr in the first place (in 2011!!!!) and I used to draw them ALL THE TIME #interests change I guess #but I think I'll always come back to hl and portal occasionally. they're too much a part of my dna at this point LOL #my art #description in alt text #oh my god I just went back through my half life tag and the last time I drew these three was when I drew that freehounce meme LMAOOO #how serendipitious

accidentally calling your teacher dad except he's actually your dad so nobody thinks it's a big deal but you still feel like you just called your teacher dad in front of all your friends and they won't think you're cool anymore even though you're pushing 30 and none of your friends think you're cool anyway.

“I’d like to play you another song about suicidal depression. It’s about – if you are a certain type of person – me – . . . uh, you hear about somebody who did something horrible and drastic and you feel bad, but there’s a part of you that goes, ‘what, that’s, now I know, now I recognize my kind, because he did that.’ So this is about a guy who did a terrible thing and he couldn’t live with the memory of it, and so he went and did a worse thing, and it’s called ‘Cry for Judas.’”

- John Darnielle, frontman of the Mountain Goats

Misc. photos from the past year or so ~

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. napping bapy boye sneeping on his own foot as if it were a pillow #2. The little primrose that I have seems to bloom sporadically all year around as long as I bring it inside and don't let it freeze #in the winter. This was a flower that came up randomly like mid november lol #3. Rainbow where you can see a little bit of a second rainbow near the bottom of it :0 #4. CHILDREN.... love to see them..... #5. Halloween Candy ranking tierlist. not important enough to post on it's own. so throwing it in with one of these I guess lol #I am also not really a candy person at all and prefer bready stuff like cakes rather than chocolate bars (if I even have to have sweets #at ALL which usually I prefer savory food). I suspect the apple is controversial but.. I do love apples .... huzzah #actually am having applle and peanut butter snack right now as I'm writing this lol #6. Various bowls/cups/etc. that I got from a store at COMPLETELY different times like.. years apart from each other #yet at some point realized that they all mostly match in paint color and seem to be part of the same pattern #But I totally didnt make that connection until a few years ago when I was putting up dishes. I just bought them all invidually because it's #like 'oh cool! a cat' *1 year later* 'oh cool! a cat!' etc. lol.. I guess it must be a popular design if it's been around being sold that #long. #7. carne asada burrito and matcha bubble tea... oughhgh.... again one of my very rare meals where I actually go and get something.. #probably my favorite meal currently. Something about the Chronic Anemia makes me crave beef burritos madly despite only having one #maybe twice a year or so ghjbhj.. plus the beans.... onions.... many of my Diet Forbidden foods... Also of course the little aishas #are there.... somehow they shall split the meal together even though it's like 10x bigger than their bodies.. they are also hungry #and vastly anemic... huzzah to them... #8. I've had this shirt for a long time but it fits very weird so I can never find a way to use it in outfits?? But I recently had #an appointment where a doctor needed to be able to look at my back and it's one of the only actual Shirts that I have (mostly i just own #long robes or tunics or jumper dress type of things that would be hard to lift up or etc. like... I dont even own a single normal 't-shirt' #or anyting aside from one giant tshirt that I sleep in in the summer lol.) So I wore this there.. I forget how much I love the pictures on #it.. how pleasant... little hummingbird... AND I think one of the flowers is supposed to be columbine ... ! #photo diary

5, 8, 50!

5. How do you like your eggs?

In an omelette, with peppers, onions, ham and/or sausage, and cheese. Being able to go get an omelette at the dining hall afterwards is the only thing keeping me motivated to go to my stupidly early meeting. I also like them scrambled but I'm a bit pickier about the texture in that case.

8. Do you collect anything? If so, what?

The main thing I purposefully collect are pins, enamel and otherwise. A lot of them live on my denim jacket, but I actually have more pins than can fit on there at any given time. Here's the current state of the collection:

Most of the ones that don't live on the jacket are either too fragile, too large, tend to come off too easily, or I just don't like the design as much (the latter I keep around to swap out with the pride pins when I go visit my parents). A lot of the medium circular buttons were freebies from the library, and a lot of the others were bought from local artists— if you're curious about where I got a particular pin, let me know (in a reply/DM) and I can try to dredge up a link if it's one that I bought.

I actually want to do a lot more to this jacket— because I usually wear a backpack I can only put pins on a limited part of it, so I want to start making/collecting patches to put everywhere else. I have a few already and I've bought materials for a large back patch, but haven't had the time to actually put it together. I also want to acquire some Disco Elysium-related pins or patches, but I haven't found any that really vibe with me yet.

50. Describe your perfect sleeping conditions.

The only thing I really need to be able to sleep is a very dark room— as little ambient light as possible. Beyond that, I generally prefer a room that's on the colder side, so I can fully hunker down into the comforter, but not so cold that I need to wear socks or add an additional blanket (too many layers of fabric starts to bother me, I sleep in just my underwear for the same reason). I sleep best when I'm alone (which is how I almost always sleep, not entirely by choice), and I don't usually sleep with stuffed animals unless I'm feeling particularly lonely that night. If we're really talking ideal sleeping conditions, then I wouldn't have an alarm set, and I'd have a solid hour or two of time after I wake up to dick around on my phone until I'm ready to get out of bed.

#answered asks #also an interesting jacket digression: #this denim jacket is my main jacket for 3/4 of the year- usually for when it's ~40 degrees and up #for the colder months I've been wearing the bomber jacket that I got for my kim cosplay #(black side out because I feel intensely self-conscious in the orange. almost like it's designed to be highly visible or something) #(which you could write a whole character analysis about why he wears hi-vis all the time but that would be a digression to the digression) #anyways #even though my friends like the bomber jacket- I'm pretty meh on it when I'm not wearing it for cosplay #putting the denim jacket back on when it got warmer made me realize that it's because it fundamentally doesn't feel like my clothes #because I guess in a way it isn't #I just think it's interesting because that notably doesn't apply to the pants I bought for the same cosplay #which I love and feel cool as fuck in them whenever I wear them #idk #unnecessary digression is unnecessary #also let me know if you need alt text for the pin photo #I usually try to add it where possible but with this one there's just so many pins I'd need to describe #I'll still add it if someone needs it though

if eric nam asked you instead of mark lee which 5 idols, out of any idols, you could put together to form a supergroup, who would they be?

taemin ten chen kyungsoo sungkyu EASY. would the group be a mess? absolutely. but would the music be insane? also absolutely.

#was this me throwing a bunch of my faves together? also also absolutely #but if you think about it logistically bc there are so many idols active you have to decide what your concept for the supergroup is #and then pick idols based around that concept. bc even if you wanted to do a 'vocals' supergroup #what type of vocals are you looking for? like personally a vocals supergroup could be chen ksoo baekhyun changmin jinki #who all have distinct voices but similar technique so they know how to work together #or you could do like. an alt style vocal group of like. sungkyu jooan woodz yonghoon and....idk. junhee or donghun #idols all have diff skills so you do have to take that into account when balancing a supergroup #i kinda just threw my faves out there without a ton of thought but i do think you want 2 dancers/3 vocals #and all of them with distinct voices #realistically shinee is already the perfect five member supergroup anyways we all know this #kpop questions #answers #tbh lbr superm was a fantastically put together group in terms of theme + abilities. got the beat is too #text #lsajdflajsdf actually nana do u rememberwho we put in evil superm. we need that

Whiteout with Uncut Amethyst, please? (3)

woe[ful] whiteout be upon ye

[pspspsps request details are in my pinned!]

[ID : a drawing of whiteout, done in the color palette 'uncut amethyst', which consists of shades of black, purple, light purple, pale purple, and lavender. whiteout is a dragon who is primarily black with purple patches and pale purple spikes that resemble fluff. she has a bat-like nose, long ears that have fur tips, and horns that resemble antlers. she is facing towards the right, looking up with a sad yet defiant expression. whiteout has one talon placed on a cluster of amethyst, and in the other talon she holds a glass shell necklace. the background is painted to resemble a night sky, with a circle of light that resembles a lunar eclipse. END ID]

[ID 2 : the same image as above, but the line art has been set to a soft light filter, giving it a smoother appearance. END ID]

#i couldn’t get this out yesterday bc i got home at like 10 kdjdndk #besides that i think this one is up there with the unknown peril <3 #i tried * [*see : thought it looked like] to make it a parallel to both memento mori clearsight and god of ink darkstalker #wings of fire #wings of fire whiteout #artists on tumblr #digital art #illustration #dragons #💬 #id in alt text #also hey! look! ids! i’m trying to do ids now but it’s taking a hot minute to go back and add them to all my old posts #🖌

reading a truly excellent fic from a small fandom, that hasn't been updated in ages despite the author promising an epilogue: ah fair enough, hope everything's okay, I'll hit "subscribe" just in case bc i loved what they wrote so i'll comment that i liked it

scrolling absently up through the other 5+ comments and abruptly stumbling on a breathtakingly bad faith criticism of -problematic- elements that weren't even present in the fic:

#id in alt text #linden's originals #seriously y'all never comment ur negative analyses of an author's thematic choices #especially if they're all stuff that's clearly tagged & in the content summary?? this is free entertainment & fully informed consumption #even if u have something to criticize about their word choice or sth - like if the author uses an outdated term or sth #& u genuinely have reason to think they'll appreciate being informed of their mistake. like. you still also tell them the stuff u liked. #u don't leave a comment just to tell an author whose personal stories (stories they chose to *archive* which u may read #but which are written first and foremost for the author's enjoyment! that's what the ''archive'' part means! it's someone else's journal!) #to tell them they Messed Up! #tell them what turns of phrase u liked! tell them why ur glad u got the chance to read the work! they do not owe u a story u like! #and leaving a negative comment (even a well-intentioned one) can wreck an artist's motivation to continue creating a work #(i know if i got a comment like this - however well-intentioned - i'd probably have deleted the entire work & also cried #not bc it was particularly unkind it's just. unsolicited yk? & criticism of something so intensely personal. art created by & for you.) #like. a lot of fic is written by neurodivergents too. it's more relevant than the average situation to remember that an author might be #''disproportionately'' harmed by negative feedback. RSD; emotional dysregulation; stuff that makes emotions so much stronger #& more capable of lasting harm #anyway. i guess this is a #vent post #i know ''flames'' were a common issue in fandom before my time but i get the feeling a lot of that was bc #online fandom had a much higher proportion of teenagers shaping the culture. as we get older i think we get a better sense of ourselves #& better at understanding & respecting each other's boundaries. & rights #kids in fandom learn from adults just like everywhere else. be kind is i guess what i'm saying #never cause more harm than you need to. not when you can just walk away and leave no one the worse. just - be kind #and for the love of tillie mayard don't tell people what u think is Problematic about their literal fanfics #even if ur right & not fantastically misreading something to the point of seeming intentional. like. just don't #anyway. this has been #linden in the tags
