... for the sorrow and the strife in the house of Finwë is graven in the memory of the Noldorin Elves. (The Silmarillion)

#took me a solid FOURTEEN HOURS to finish #and i am very glad it's done #based this entirely on the silmarillion #gil-galad is son of orodreth purely out of personal preference #but because everything else is based on the silm i felt guilty about it and added that footnote in the corner lol #but hoorey! it's done. it was fun character designing #up next: more ballet sketches #tolkien #the silmarillion #elves #so many elves #i'm not tagging all those characters individually #peredhil #house of finwe #feanorians #feanor #finarfin #fingolfin #the end.

This is my contribution for Sub Anakin Fest [@anakinfest], which I actually didn’t sign up for but decided to butt in on anyway! As such, this doesn’t correspond to any prompts :)

IT IS DONE. It's been a while since I've written anything Ultrakill—and boy, did I write. 17k words worth of hot angel on sad old man action and/or wacky Hell politics. Give it a read, if you're completely insane!

#ultrakill #minosgabe #gabriel ultrakill #minos prime #my stuff #God. I am so glad that this is finally done. It was eating me for the most of this month. NOW OBSERVE THE FRUITS OF MY VERY STUPID LABOR

i love the idea of her wearing an alice angel cutout to cover the ruined side of her face…

The messenger bag I made in 2019 finally started to wear to pieces after four years of faithful service. Time for a new one!

I made the original bag without a pattern, but this time I had something to work with. I took the old bag apart and made a pattern from the pieces.

It took me a while to find the right material. I wasn’t sure what it would look like, I just knew I’d know it when I saw it. I finally found this double-sided Japanese cloth in a shop in Portland.

Once I had the right cloth for the exterior, I found a fun pattern for the interior bag in a local shop. (I always use a lighter material for the interior so it's easier to find things).

The first bag was a struggle—I had no idea what I was doing! I expected the second bag to be difficult as well, but the process went surprisingly smoothly. I got stuck a few times and had to take a day or two to figure out a solution, but the solutions always worked better than I expected!

For instance—in spite of carefully measuring each piece, the outer flap ended up being too small. I ended up constructing a border to extend the edges.

With heavy interfacing and waterproof lining, the walls were very thick and tricky to work with. Having a better sewing machine than last time helped!

Lots of pockets and hooks on the inside—essential.

I found a leather camera strap I haven't used since college and added a couple of decorative wooden buttons a friend gave me and I'd been saving for the right moment. The blue webbing along the sides that support the leather strap are repurposed from the original bag. I like that a little bit of the old bag is worked into the new.

The whole process took... weeks—but I’m so happy with how it all came together!

#long post #pictures i took #stuff i made #i am not a sewing expert #i've been slowly learning and teaching myself to do things with a sewing machine over the last ten years #it's hard and i still struggle #but make no mistake: i am very fucking proud of myself #there are a few small quirks that i didn't get right and annoy me but overall it came out so well #i love it #and i'm glad it's done this project has been eating my brain for like a month

I don't need to count stitches; I operate on a vibes-based system, and counting kills my vibes 🦐🦐

#art #crochet #the shrimp emojis are part of my vibe btw #i just got done with the ribbing and i turned the work and holy shit i didn't think this would be as long as it is #it's SUPPOSED to be very baggy but this is for the back/front of the hoodie... #...and it can already wrap around my waist. this is gonna be HUGE (i am so excited) #i love obscuring my shape and body and being behind cozy layers #my hubris is unmatched. i'm glad i didn't live in ancient greece because they'd use me as a story where a god smites me for said hubris #i'm the type of insane person who simultaneously... #...has unmatched hubris but also reliably does 4×5 on my calculator because i don't trust my own skills

Me last night: Alright! Tonight I'm going to be PRODUCTIVE

Also me: Writes 1.4k words on a totally new WIP instead of any of my ongoing projects

#goddamnit me #On the plus side I'm very pleased with some of the jokes in said WIP #And it should be a short one in that I'm more than halfway done already #When you get an idea that makes you cackle to yourself sometimes you just gotta get it on the page before it escapes #I am glad I captured this one in time #BUT STILL #C'mon brain we coulda used that on like so many other things #Why must you be so fickle

I love the way you write and FFS is my favourite fic of yours. It was very healing and comforting watching a character go through such a difficult mental health journey. It made me feel less alone. Ef has motivated me to keep going on because things can always get better.

I just wanted to say thank you very much, and I hope you rest as much as you can while you're on break. (P.S. I am super excited for Constellations!! When you mentioned Leo in the last chapter I was like YES! They're still friends!)

Hi anon

I'm so glad you enjoy Falling Falling Stars, it was such a huge undertaking but it was so cathartic even writing it and sharing it at the time, I think it's been pretty humbling honestly that so many folks have brought so much of themselves and their lives to this story, and connect with it and the characters in it.

Efnisien is pretty awesome as a character as a vehicle of 'it sucks and you might even have done bad things but you're still allowed to have good things and you can always improve / better yourself' etc. I used to get a few 'I've never done anything like Efnisien but I relate to him' and my thoughts on that have always been that many of us know what it's like to feel like the worst, even if we've relatively never done anything that bad at all. And it's hard to recover from that feeling, but...perhaps seeing how someone who has been literally the worst is doing it might help.

We all deserve a redemption narrative, even the people who didn't need redeeming in the first place.

#asks and answers #falling falling stars #efnisien ap wledig #i mean to be fair many of us have done bad things without knowing #or without realising how bad they were at the time #and then have to process and deal with that later #i feel like i'm a criminal if i just get angry at someone and it's not deserved so #dsalkfjdsa #i am trying to rest! #toby is being neutered/desexed tomorrow so i actually expect the next 10 days to be quite stressful #and in some ways i'm very glad i *don't* have to write today or tomorrow etc. #i'm still not recovered from my burnout yet so i'm just like #chin-handing and thinking about the future and writing a lot

#ohhhh my god there are so many jorge joestar characters #this is good for me (I don't have to make a new list of characters as frequently) #but I am very glad I'm done sorting them #anyway uhh this version? idk not feeling it. pass #leone abbacchio #jorge joestar #jojo's bizarre adventure

Hiii, I absolutely LOVE your jimstrade content. I was wondering if you could draw Greg giving Jim bandages and stuff after Jim gets hurt and then hugging him. I'm not sure if you take requests or not but I love your art style. No pressure tho, if you don't wanna. Have a great day/night!

Healing & Growth

(gif made by my friend @robanilla-arts is below - slight warning for flashing! Thanks again, Rob!)

#if you feel like reading it - I'm gonna ramble in the tags. #Don't really feel like having it attached to the post for forever... cause what if i just wanna reblog some fairysona art?? #anyways #this year sucked a lot. in a lot of ways. but im grateful for it. #healing is stupidly hard and annoyingly enough? not linear in the slightest. Yet infuriatingly - it is worth it. #I am far from done with healing. I've barely scratched the surface. #but im learning and connecting with myself along the way. #The biggest step I've taken this year is working on my people pleasing ways. it's a bad habit birthed from a lot of different traumas. #but it no longer rules my life. #I am not passive anymore - and surprise! that doesn't make me a horrible or evil person. #my kindness is no longer a weakness. its still a part of me and always will be. i won't let go of it. #but it is no longer to a fault #there are people undeserving of my kindness... i realize that now. I know what i will and will not put up with in every kind of relationshi #im still learning and exploring - and i've said a lot of goodbyes this year. I'm sure i will say more. #but that's okay. #some relationships are forever - some serve you for a while and teach you a lesson when they end. #and some relationships stick around and don't *have* to have a deeper connection #and that's also okay. #I didn't think I'd make it through this year in all honesty. I was very close to ending it all on multiple occasions. #But. for what it's worth - as of now im glad im here. #i will continue to struggle and have my hard times. im not naive enough to think depression just goes away. #but im okay for now and im moving forward. #there will be pauses and abrupt stops and likely some good ol' rotting involved. but when i can - ill be moving forward. #i will not speak a word of 2024 because no matter what it will have it's ups and downs. #but i will continue to keep working on myself. and that's all anyone can do in this weird life. #if you made it through all of that... uhhhh wow you got a crush on me or smth? /j/j/j/j #but fr - if you read this far... thank you. i hope you're faring well and that you have a happy celebration tonight. #sleep well and dream well when it comes to you #yucky draws #my art
