hey, don't do this. I don't know what you're trying to send me, I don't really want anyone else to check and get some kind of sketchy-ass app, it's weird. If you have something cool you think I should check out then send an actual message about it, not a link with no other information.

weird saved search & show off an expensive project!

I love that y'all really want to know what kind of things I search but I do not follow through

Fun fact: I think I've bought like 20 dragons from the "rainbow" search.

Expensive projects: every single one of my fandragon permababies have a gem gene because I am terrible!

hey!! in your smuppet crochet, on step 3, it goes from increasing until 12 (step 2), to sc 21. how does this work? or is it a typo and means SC 12?

So I was using a weirdass shorthand when I wrote that pattern--what you're supposed to do is sc around (12) and then do 9 more sc. It's a round and a partial round! The point is for you to get to the correct spot to attach the two butt cheeks without having a weird spot where you left off on one of them.

Ok random but best/favorite species of bird and why fellow bird enthusiast?

Hi! Thank you so much for the ask, this literally made my day.

Hmmm… for favorite bird, I would have to go with either a crow or a magpie. What can I say, I’m a sucker for corvids! Crows are really cool because they can memorize faces associated with traumatic and/or stressful situations, same thing with people who are kind to them and feed them. They can also pass knowledge down through generations and too other birds, which I think is just. So funny. Imagine, you piss off one bird on accident one day, and then you spend the rest of your life being harassed by its entire bloodline. I love a bird that can hold a grudge. Relatable.

As for magpies, I just think they’re neat. They are super talented mimics and can make the coolest noises. They are quite pretty too. Their coloring is also really mesmerizing to look at and their distinct plumage makes them stand out from other common birds. I’ve seen a lot of them the past couple days, which has been great for understanding of their behavior and tendencies. (Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a photo)

As a bonus, here are some pictures of a billboard a found:

(Sorry for the word vomit btw, I really enjoyed answering.)

SPILL THE LORE

ANON I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED. I AM SITTING YOU DOWN AND SITTING ACROSS FROM YOU.

OKAY SO. the priest dogman: his full name is wolf von bluth, though he insists people just call him “von” rather than his first name. he’s an old demon, a hellhound to be exact, who used to be a human back in the 1850’s and was formerly known as nikolai vasiliev-sovetsky, then. able to shift between both hound and human forms; he terrorizes people in many ways throughout the centuries, his most recent method being that of disguising himself as a priest. he finds religious people to be easier to manipulate, and thus, pushing them to sin and eventual, large scale crimes that leaves the town he’s in in a panic.

authorities are, of course, quick to get on the case and determine there might be a serial killer on the loose but nothing concrete on the killer’s identity because all victims so far appear as if no one had actually killed them. and this is where the second player of the story comes in: having recently gotten his degree in criminology and given an opportunity to work under the wing of a to-be-named detective, kind-hearted but slightly odd oliver jr. wright is tasked with investigation. he’s an upcoming bright man sorta type, and because the elder authorities couldn’t piece together the puzzle thanks to von being a tricky little demon, they figured they needed a fresh pair of eyes and a new mind on the field.

this was both a good thing and a bad thing for everyone involved. while authorities interrogated everyone who knew the murder victims even just a little bit, von was always marked off without real suspicion. oliver, however, felt that something was off about von. his visits to von were professional at first, asking him about the murder victims and von would simply manage worm his way out of concrete suspicion.

regardless, despite still doubting von was entirely 100% innocent he started to turn to him for advice as the pressure to solve the murders built. von offered him shelter, care and affection in the form of friendship.

a fourth victim pops up, and this one’s murder is a little different from the other two. this one is sloppier, and not made to look like someone didn’t kill them. a couple of montbs went by like this, each day starting to feel more stressed and worse. this is where i still need to figure out the details but basically: the last two victims were sloppy murders on purpose. a man was murdered, and some form of evidence left behind that was groundbreaking as prior, there was nothing left behind which upped the weird factor on the cases. the last victim, this husband’s wife, who is murdered roughly a week or so later, is shot outside the bar and the killer is caught on camera.

the killer is indeed oliver: he pulled the trigger, and he is quickly under arrest by the man who was responsible for him. but he swears up and down that he didn’t kill her. the theory they have on him is that he on purpose went into the field of criminology to cover up his crimes, thus the lack of evidence. he is soon looked at for not only the murder of this lady’s husband, but the others that have happened over the last few months.

the truth is: he did commit those last two murders, but the first three were von’s doing. due to the nature of oliver being more gullible and kind hearted, welcoming von into his life, made him more susceptible to his influence: aka possession. von took great interest in oliver, something about him was special in the manner that oliver seemed to crave the approval and kindness of a parental figure and von noticed he seemed to fill that role for him. so, he was able to quite literally pull the wool over his eyes and send him off to do his bidding for a short time.

the only reason he did this was as a means to ostracize him. the other three victims were part of something else entirely; some messy situation von just wanted to stick his nose in. in the end, they played no part to the bigger picture. this lady and her husband were just causalities for von along the way.

well, one thing leads to another, von entirely disappears off oliver radar for that time while he’s preoccupied trying to prove his innocence despite the fact that his gun was connected to the bullet that killed the lady. the detective who was watching over him wants to believe he didn’t do it, that there’s something else afoot here, and brings him back to the agency against all better judgement so he can try and look at evidence to build a case. no matter how illegal that was, he wanted to try and see what was up.

one thing leads to another and oliver blacks out; it’s like a dream, where von talks to him and reveals to him all of what’s gone up until now. and when he wakes up, the building is on fire, his boss is dead, and von is cradling his dying, broken body.

“there is only one way i can save you, oliver,” von tells him. “god doesn’t care if you die, but i do, so here i offer you survival under one condition.”

“that is?” oliver weakly responds.

“you are to be bound to me for the rest of time,” he explains. “you will have freedom, but you will work for me. simply do as i say; and you will be just fine.”

and oliver is far too disoriented to really think about that. he’d rather be dead than help the man who ruined his life; but in the embrace of someone who seemingly cares for his well being, he agrees, and essentially sells his soul to von.

and that’s that; oliver disappears from the public and he’s framed as a serial killer. von remains within the public eye, completely free of his crimes. oliver lives with him, does von’s bidding as his proxy. basically, he either kills or finds people for von sorta deal. tracks them down, all that fun stuff.

the two of them overall very much hate each other but oliver has this dependent nature on von. again, he sought for someone’s approval and he found it in von and that costed him literally everything. von, surprisingly, does care a little bit for oliver. they would still very much kill each other if they could tho ❤️

An ask for you!!

What's your favorite animal and why? (you can list more than one if you want!)

Hi, my dear mutual and thank you very much for the ask!)

This is an extremely hard ask, as I love all animals. And if I don't yet, I will learn to if given the opportunity to interact with them long enough)

Lemme tell you, if you bring in even one madagascar cockroach to a class of biology students, they will be in love with it in less than a minute and will be asking to hold one, even if they were squamish about bugs their entire lives. Nature is incredible in all it's beautiful, extreme and will-make-any-eldrich-horror-blush-in-shame ways and it's really, really fascinating. So yeah, this is hard to decide.

I've been living with dogs for most of my life, so I obviously love them) Am a horsegirl for sure, even if the opportunities for riding are not common at all, and my technique is that of a potato sack, but I'm still somehow pretty confident in the saddle. I'd love to have a pet lizard one day. Find myself mesmerized by the arowana in the local fish pet store each time we go there.

I've been blessed and extremely lucky to have an opportunity to work at a bat rescue center, and I can confidently say bats are amazing and adorable little hellspawns))) They love screaming and biting, tumblr should be ALL over them actually

Saw a video about geladas once, and they are like. Peak character design. Why isn't there more gelada content on the internet about them??? No idea but treat yourself to any gelada video.

That said, obviously my favourite animal will be my best girl Fina xD

If I had to pick favourites besides her...(seriously, this is so hard, my answer will change in like the next minute if you send the ask again)... I've been a little (not a little) obsessed with moose. They are character design peak too, their horn crowns are incredible, I love their big nose, short tail and how tall and elegant they are on those long legs. Simply beautiful)

(here's my moose figurine from the Schleich figurines collection)))

A long list of very honourable mentions would be:

Every melolontha (basically any flying beetle with wing covers) I will be glued to, and just big beetles in general, they can be so beautiful.

Bats, of course. Can't ever go wrong with bats. Incredible, adorable, screeching little critters. Honestly the 'uglier' they seem the more I love them xD They are not ugly at all, and are really fascinating.

Lizards. Blue-tongued skins especially. Tegu's are also amazing.

I love bears a lot. The duality of an extremely adaptive and versatile predator vs the lazy and low effort goofes they can be gets to me) Also the Brother Bear movie. Destroyed me as a kid, loved it.

And geladas. Geladas are great. Peak character design. We really need more geladas.

Thanks for the ask! Would love to see your and any other willing mutual's answers)))

#birds are amazing and majestic and beautiful too #seriously my answer will change dvery time you ask but this would be the general list. probably #corvids will sneak in there somewhere i am amazed at how clever and communal they are #puffins are adorable as hell #i also like pigeons they are monogamous and have beautiful iridescent neck feathers and can purr #MANTA RAYS. manta rays are mesmerizing and majestic as well #you see why this is such a hard question? xD #animal kingdom is incredible and beautiful and weird and horrifying and i love animals they are incredible #you'd think something like snails is lame but then you see the iron-shelled deep sea volcanic snails and you can never underestimate #any animal no matter how small after that #...that's a very hard question as you can see xD #mutuals please share yours i wanted to send asks like this myself #mutuals my beloved #biology
