Got a little overwhelmed (and a lot behind) with crochet golem orders so I took a social media and an Etsy break. But I’m back and PAL’s Projects etsy is back open (golems not in stock at the moment).
edit 2: so there’s been a thread getting popular on Twitter I assume of a very similar concept and just to avoid confusion: I did not make that thread! And I have no relation to whoever did. Just to clarify 👍
Hey! Dystopia Crew here bearing gifts for you! We may not have gotten past the prelims, but we're sure as heck stickin around!
Here are some Turtle stuffies to get you through the next leg of the competition! (They're weighted and have a neet lil pocket for ice packs if needed :3)
(PS: pay no mind to the stuffatello, there are no evil schemes here :3c)
This is so cute!! We decided to change up who gets which plushie
Donnie thinks this turtle is so pretty! He's going to name them Curie and put them on a shelf in his room. You should see them in the next comic!
Raph names his Johnny because its a tough guy name. He has a few small pink and red plushies in his room, he's gonna add Johnny to them to protect them. @0ddbugs is working on Leo and Mikey's responses :D
In a surprising twist of events for me, I spent days on this instead of one elongated sitting in a single day and. I think it turned out pretty good :]
like i see people say stuff like “rei is a deconstruction of the idea of like the perfect girl in a male gaze-y way” and and i'm ready to agree until they go “it’s because she’s creepy and weird and bad!” like no. rei's a deconstruction of misogynistic ideas of womanhood because they’re ideals forced upon her that damage her, not because she’s in any way “creepy”. like, the fact she’s a fourteen year old girl who was basically used as a substitute wife by her father bc she looked like his own dead wife is not something that is meant to make rei look bad like holy shit.
like both rei and asuka are very obviously like. showing fantasised and misogynistic ideas of an idealised woman don’t work irl yeah. shinji's misogynistic view of them is wrong. but that’s not because rei and asuka are bad people it’s because like. “fourteen year old who's flirty and seductive” and “fourteen year old who's a quiet obedient object” are major signs of abuse and trauma and anyone actually acting in those ways at that age clearly isn’t normal. asuka is desperate for attention in any way she can get it, even unhealthy and dangerous ways. rei is at the very least I has a weird pseudo-incestous enmeshment filled abusive relationship with her father, even if she's not actively being sexually abused. asuka is seeking support, rei is a grooming victim. these are not things that are flaws in their character the entire point of subverting the expectations is to show how those expectations are unhealthy to rei and asuka like. god.
I’m actually much more happy with it than I expected to be, but the next one will definitely have less shoulder and a wider head.
Considering my Hebrew is horrible, this is my first time writing Hebrew, and the first time embroidering any letters, I am a little worried I might have sewed the letters in wrong. Can someone that actually knows Hebrew tell me whether or not “emet” is legible?
Here’s a special behind the scenes pic of my background set up
well so for chorus they let us like pick songs and since I’m a fucking loser I chose appetite of a people pleaser and the teacher wanted us to draw something but I don’t think she was really expecting anyone to put in any effort but whatever so I just drew cakey and I think I ate (no pun intended)
also the other song I chose was space oddity and I had to like compare the two songs so I just made this
