me when i plan out a sweater in tunisian crochet in a faux knit stitch (bc i dont know how to knit but love the look of knit color work) at a certain size from my gauge swatch but i decide tunisian crochet is too hard so i just actually learn how to knit instead. and have to redesign my sweater pattern at a different size bc the stitch sizes are completely different on the gauge swatches from tunisian crochet knit st to actual knit. anyways. bye forever

#RRAAAHHHHH FIBER ARTS DILEMMAS!!!!!! #just kidding it’s fine #cro talks #knit #crochet #AND. knit ends up being a lot thinner than the tunisian knit stitch. so it’ll be a more comfortable sweater tbh #but this is about my brain/sciencecore sweater. sobs and throws up #but its ok i realized i had more repeating motifs i wanted to include besides just DNA and test tubes. like lightning! and more #and i think knit gives me more space to work #also the reason tunisian crochet was too hard is that A) i dont have a tunisian crochet hook so i had to improv one out of straws and duct— #tape. and it was not very good. #and and color work is generally harder in tunisian crochet #but i literally didnt know how to knit until 2 days ago when i decided i could do it. and then i did it

ONE DAAAAY #i was like NO gold on the sleeves NO red on the puffs ONE button ebcause i dont feel like sewing more #AMEN. #that red fabric. OKAY THAT RED FABRIC FUCKING HTES ME ITS SOME SYNTHETIC WOVEN SHIT THAT WANTS ME DEAD. NOT WORTH IT #sits nicely for the hat. frays like a bitch. skips stitches like a bastard. does NOT want to press or iron. #i only just learned abt the burning synthetic fabric edge to stop it from fraying umm Yesterday thanks to aforementioned awesome classmate #so umm teehee.nits fine zigzag stitch works well enough.

Me: man seeing everyones redesigns of the hazbin cast is super fun and I love the creativity of it all but I probably won't join in, I just don't care enough about them all to do it and I don't have the time or energy to think of new designs for them all

Me: *Google's deer taxidermy processes to draw alastor as a full on taxidermied deer creature* ..................oh no

#catfish speaks #help me the Ideas. they begin #i still Probably wont do everyone like angel or nifty or even vaggie wnd charlie tbh #but alastor as an undead reanimated deer........ thats Fun #ive given him glass eyes and pins in his mouth too and stitches everywhere #i think thats slightly better than the. voodoo imagery he has currently (hello closed practice being used by a nonblack person again) #oh wait i could give him a radio static voice box too. fun #also i wanna design a demon adam and a commander lute i think they could be FUN #and i kind of? want to get freaky with the angels too??? not sure tho

caught the thinking about jack shephard disease again

#a mystery wrapped in an enigma baby #like on the one hand: this is the man that was able to laugh while kate was stitching him up #and tell her an extremely personal story so she wouldn't be so scared #the man who lifted sawyer back onto the bed when he fell off it #the man who almost cut off boones leg because he didn't want to let him go #the man who keeps his touch gentle no matter who he's treating #and on the other: this is the man that cheated on his wife #that wouldn't take no for an answer #that is unable to give his relationship partners the autonomy to leave #the man that decides who you are and then acts accordingly #the man that gives kate all the passes in the world and leaves none for sawyer #the man who said juliet wanted ben to die without caring about the consequences #only to regret it a single episode later #i'm having the Too Many Thots disease someone please dm me lol. #jack shephard #lost

Happy Valentine’s Day from Bella and Jade!

#my dolls #rainbow high #jella #i spent way too long on their outfits- #i found that soft green top with pink stitching bella's wearing here #and it made me want to give each of them a bit of the other's color #but i couldn't find anything good for jade for that :( #still i like these date outfits a lot #not as happy with the pictures as i could be i wanted to do more but ran out of steam

I know this site likes to slander British people BUT the true thing we should rag on them for is their crochet terms 😭

#Found a really cute pattern (that was free!) and I check the abbreviations to go ‘NOOOOOOOOOO IT’S BRITISH’ #A US double crochet is NOT the same as a UK double crochet!! They’re not!!!! #US single crochet = UK double crochet fyi #And even though I should’ve been brought up on the UK terms being Australian and all #The majority of patterns and tutorials are US terms-based and that’s what I learnt from #Not that it’s particularly difficult to translate basically each stitch is basically one less tall in crochet language 😅 #But I’m STILL going to make a post about it on tumblr 😤 #Anyway this is your post reminder that I have too many hobbies and interests and will do anything to Not Write #Even exacerbating the wrist damage my dogs give me 😅

just impulse-bought some TMA-themed cross-stitch patterns even though i don't know how to cross-stitch and don't have much in the way of supplies for it

#i'd been thinking about buying an embroidery kit that teaches you stitches for a while now #i think i might budget myself some hobby money this payday and get some supplies for these things #could give me something to do while recovering from surgery? #although maybe it would need too much focusing #personal

just finished watching the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. now it's time for lilo and stitch (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

But what about men when they're bruised & bloodied

#i won't blorbotag but if you know what i've been watching recently you know who the blorbo is #i'm lucky to be watching a show that loves to show me my darling blorbo in all kinds of injured states #his own blood on himself someone else's blood on him cuts and bruises and wounds and stitches in a lot of places #and obviously pathetic little lost kitten face but that's emotional hurt not something physical #talked about it with my friend m and they said they liked their women bruised on occasion (in fun contexts or just standard violence) #but they weren't a fan of the blood and honestly i'm too fascinated by blood to be indifferent to it #blood has a fantastic colour a texture that makes it look good and i don't know it's just Something #there's another guy in the show i'm watching that has bad bruises on his face for a while #and every time he showed up on screen i was like 'owie that must hurt' and at the same time 'wow he looks good in those' #they weren't sexy bruises to be clear he just got hit in the face repeatedly. in a non sexy way. extremely unsexy #but like it gave his face a dimension it just Did Something!!! #and right before that i was teetering on meow meow territory with another character #he was the reason i made that 'i need to learn to draw bruises' post and honestly still haven't mastered those but i need to #to give my blorbo some fun bruises for once instead of unsexy dangerous ones #wow i have a ramble tag now

Re: the being immunocompromised and nearly dying of agony from shingles all over me at sixteen thing. I used to say that was the worst pain I've ever felt in my chronically ill life, worsened by the fact that weenie me refused morphine because I was fully indoctrinated by D.A.R.E. and terrified that I would become an addict as I lay in the hospital bed writhing in agony as I was damn-near actively dying. Even breaking my toes a few years later just warranted a mild "Fuck." in comparison.

Anyway I recently experienced three infected teeth (two wisdoms that apparently just grew in already rotted? and one cavity that got out of hand because I kept forgetting to call my dentist and couldn't afford it anyway) within a two year span and let me say that that knocked the nearly dying in agony thing right out of the park

#it had literally been a decade by that point since I ever cried in pain #the last time before that being when I had my first bowel obstruction that coincided with a migraine #I miss my tooth #not the wisdoms to hell with them. but I couldn't afford a root canal for the third tooth so it had to come out #the kicker is that as of a month ago Maryland Medicaid covers dental. again. #it used to cover dental even before that but they cancelled the coverage the year I moved to Maryland #I'm glad they are covering dental again and I have an appointment in May but I wish it had come a year earlier #because my options were between a two hundred dollar extraction or a thousand dollar root canal #teeth are a luxury in the U.S. #also when I had my wisdoms removed I went to a dental surgeon and had laughing gas #but when I had the third tooth removed I couldn't afford that again and went to my regular dentist and didn't even have valium for it #I was SHAKING in the chair trying not to freak out or faint #it was longer than it should have been too because the tooth shattered in the process and he had to dig out the roots and let me tell you #not. fun. #at least for two hundred dollars I got novocaine. If I had gone to the dental school for free they wouldn't have even given me that #cannot don't want to imagine that pain #I wish I could have kept my wisdom teeth like my roommate did when he had one years before #but the dental surgeon refused to give them to me because of pandemic protocols. I never even got to look at them #laughing gas is better than valium I think. both are great tho #I wasn't out of control loopy on laughing gas but when they were stitching up my gums I thought 'huh. hell of a time to floss my teeth' #teeth #toothache #Thou hell o' a' diseases

me: golly I'm really in a crafting mood!!

fibre crafts I have bought and abandoned: 👀👀👀

me: hmm too bad I have ABSOLUTELY NO CRAFTING SUPPLIES I CAN USE!!

fibre crafts I have bought and abandoned: 😡😡😡

#i want to craft but NOT knitting and NOT embroidery and NOT cross stitch and NOT sewing and NOT crochet-- #what i should really do is fix the shorts i busted the waistband seam in last year #(they were a bit too big so i cut a chunk out of the back and badly stitched it up) #one of these days the safety pins holding it together are going to give up and stab me in the spine

[raveartts]

so what if i was a zombie? <3

alternatively, ghost zombie, because i do think ghost suits me better tbh (though perhaps more in a...haunted doll kind of way)

zombies are more bloody and gross though so maybe it does suit me :D

#raveartts #self portrait #tw blood #tw self harm #< i don't know if that's really necessary. but the stitch marks on the legs are representative #also it's kind of fun to draw in this style. i don't need to worry about hands. or feet. or anatomy really #the thick lines were just so i could draw quickly #but they're kind of cute and give the art some pop #and a special thank you to Chloe and Amias for helping me settle on Zombie #and Amias (do you even follow this blog????) you had such cool ideas that i had zero idea how to implement T_T #should edit a grim reaper scythe in there too <3 #rave.characters
