Cast on ANOTHER project. This time it's totally reasonable (lying). I saw this sick ass hood pattern on etsy and lost my mind over it and showed a friend who also lost his mind over it and now we're both attempting one. I'm knitting it in a heavy worsted cotton (knitpicks dishie) because it's the only thing I have that remotely matches gauge.
And on top of that, this pattern is knit totally flat and seamed including the ribbed cowl portion and I'm NOT about that. I'm going to knit the cowl portion in the round before splitting it in half to knit the hood in one long piece and kitchenering it to the other side. Is that arguably more work than just knitting the whole thing flat and seaming? Maybe. But it's totally worth not having to count the ribbing rows twice.
I really do have 7 WIPs now but it's the rules. Cast one off, cast two on.

♡ ・ LETTERS TO THOSE WE MOTHER ━━━ an introspective, drabble series dedicated to zephia & eremiya
. a few days after apping zephia, i reread the script of NMotE and fell in love with eremiya's character. the potential, the archetype, and most of all, the backstory she was given. though i disliked how it was thrown messily into the script, i had no doubt that she could be a character i'd enjoy writing. which, then, led me to wonder how similar and different she and zephia were. and i must admit that i grew obsessed with the idea of them interacting with one another ( though, at first, the thought definitely stemmed from a flickering, romantic piece i wrote for them. pardon my insanity it was a voice test for eremiya,, ).
thus, i created this! letters to those we mother, is a drabble series where i hope to do an in-depth exploration of their characters, both in who they are, what they are, and the potential was created for them. though this is self-indulgent, i hope to entertain whoever reads along, whether in succession or standalone.
thank you, TOA, for letting me have the opportunity to explore writing styles within this setting, as these two would never tolerate one another otherwise.
further information ( synopsis, table of contents, disclaimers, schedule, set-up; all to be updated with each drabble posted to the dashboard ) beneath the readmore!
. SYNOPSIS. what happens when fodlan shatters the mirror separating an archetype? what should unfold when these two sides, cut from the same lengths of glass, find their hands touching, skin-upon-skin, without the safety of a reflection?
zephia dahut kurosawa, a mage dragon faithful at the feet of her lord, and eremiya n. ahava, a bishop condemned to obey the voice of her lord, have crossed into each other's territory and, thus, will embark on the reluctant path that mothers must retrace once their children have grown into young adults. a lifestyle they would have walked, separately, lest their corruptions never been birthed.
neither of these beasts have savored the taste of motherhood the way fate planned them to. so, what now? will their faith create permanent cracks in the mirror? will a dragon's realism and a bishop's pessimism meld together into the flawed glimpse of another; optimism?
this, only time would reveal.
. TABLE OF CONTENTS. as of planned, currently.
i. origins.
ii. cradles & fires.
iii. tbd.
iv. tbd.
v. tbd.
vi. tbd.
. DISCLAIMERS. neither zephia or eremiya are characters that will be redeemed in this series. instead, i hope to explain their conditions and explore the consequences to which they must be condemned. with this in mind, understand that these two muses are bad people and will not change automatically in the first drabble. the journey of self-introspection is a long one.
. SCHEDULE. estimated to be 6:00 pm on the 23rd day of every two months. ( ex. if the first drabble is posted on february 23rd, at 6:00 pm, then the next drabble would be posted on april 23rd, at 6:00 pm, and so on ) a brief prologue that contains a recap, teaser, and important information such as content warnings and writer notes will be posted at 9:00 pm on the 18th day of every two months.
. SET-UP. likewise, the order of drabble posting will switch between muses. this is with the hope that zephia and eremiya will have equal related posts to archive properly. the first drabble, origins, will be posted on zephia's blog, while the second, cradles & fires, will be posted on eremiya's blog. in that order ( zephia, eremiya, zephia, eremiya, etc ) the drabble series will be completed. none of these drabbles will be reblogged by either blog, simply linked. however, this post will be shared between blogs, just for easier access.
. final words from the mun. again, whether you read one or two or all drabbles in this series, i hope you enjoy it! if i missed any content warnings and need to tag any themes or spoilers, let me know and i'll correct the mistake. otherwise, that's all from me. see you on the 18th / 23rd, concerning the series, and may the day treat you kindly, reader! ( and ps. yes, i did choose the 23rd because the number is my birthday number MKSEWKMSDJN )

The Louder It Will Scream
Caption:
Panel 1:
Wafers: Damn knee…can’t move around anymore…
Panel 2
Wafers: Well damn, can’t slow down now, I just need some elbow grease and push through it now. I’m a Shroob, I can push through all.
Panel 3
Old Toad: Absolutely not!
Panel 4
Old Toad: I see how you push yourself. Each time you do, your body degrades and is in more pain. The pain isn’t your body being weak, it’s your body telling you to stop ignoring it.
Panel 5:
Wafers: You get to relax here. I had to work.
Panel 6:
Old Toad: But you’re not on your planet. You’re on Earth now, you have what you need. You need rest.
Panel 7:
Old Toad: Your body, the more you ignore it…
Panel 8
Old Toad: the louder it will scream…
and the screams will become unbearable
Panel 9
Will you shut your trap if I do what you say?
Panel 10
*Wafers is resting on a hammock while the Old Toad is content that his warnings were heeded even if Wafers didn’t appear to care*
