#grab bag post

[grahas-gourmet-hamburger]

I haven't been terribly active lately, mostly because I've been busy doing stuff instead of posting about it or reading tumblr. I'm not sure anyone cares anyway? It feels sometimes like my online activities are just sort of shouting into the void, and my FC is.. some of my favorite people have left or are (I think) in the process of leaving and that makes me sad. It's sort of the story of online things, I guess. The life cycle of online groups.

Anyway, enough with the self-pity. This probably should be like 5 posts but oh well. Have a long rambling blog post about stuff I've been working on that makes me happy, if nothing else.

I got my amaro mount! It's a little sad that I've been playing since 2014 (off and on, but mostly on; though, granted, on many different alts) and only just now got everything to 80 on any one character, but I don't even care. He needs a name that isn't Seto Jr, but I'll figure out something.

I got the last two rare animals for my island! Twinklefleece and the alligator. Twinklefleece is both cute and horrifying, and unsurprisingly my partner loves him.

Very minor when it comes to the forbidden tooling really, except that faces are a little difficult, but I finally gave Mercutio his real scar instead of the drawn on line facepaint that I had been using. And added his Garlean eye so I can tell when a headgear will actually cover it or not. Thank you Penumbra for making it so I can do this without turning every face 7 Midlander into a Mercutio clone.

Worked on my G'raha/Aedan AU worldbuilding a lot and did.. way too many alterations of gear so they sort of fit what I imagined. I can't really draw, so I guess I use the game as my concept art engine~ It's conveniently teaching me a lot about Blender along the way.

I'm sort of afraid to talk about this AU because 1) it might suffer from "oc with identity theft" issues for Raha, 2) it causes.. many story issues for the main scenario (because Raha never goes to Sharlayan in it - see #1), and 3) I may have taken enough inspiration from Wakanda that it edges into ripping off territory.. It's not enough Wakanda to just like.. say it's a Wakanda AU, though. Where's the line? I don't know. Plus it's like.. 95% OCs. It will eventually make contact with the main cast (if I can work out or handwave the butterfly effect issues of no G'raha in the main game - all of Shadowbringers is a giant ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ right now), but for most of it, it's just Aedan and Raha and a bunch of people who aren't part of canon. It makes me happy though, so I guess that's enough for now.

Also many screenshots with poses that are varying levels of my work, though sadly I just noticed my favorite one is.. fucked in one very obvious place and I have no idea how I missed it, so I guess I'll have to redo it later. You can have this one instead (base poses def not mine): AU Aedan and Raha in their late teens (like 17-18). Raha's top mash-up is one of my alterations, for better or worse.

And, if you made it this far, here's AU Aedan's and Raha's first kiss as a treat. They're older here, like 21-22, have their older hairstyles, but their outfits haven't evolved yet. Yes, there's a reason for the flowers. :)

Bonus Raha on his tippytoes with his curly little tail.

mittens !!!! pattern X - i modified a bit because my yarn was a bit more thick, so i shortned a few rows of the colorwork & added the burnt orange details instead :)

#remember when i posted almost a month ago about a friend that commissioned some mittens #? #so yeah the one i was making initially turned out fine i suppose #i even posted the picture here #but the i noticed the sizing wasn’t right & the yarn i was using was sooo annoying to work it i just couldn’t get it right... it was also #like dyed like ombré? & the colors were a bit off. like each mitt had a different color like the weren’t even a pair... #but i was insisting too much like i undid & knitting that thing like +10 times #knitted* #so i decided so grab some yarn that i like for my mittens & that i’m already familiar with & found this pretty pattern & so!! ta-da!! #it’s so much nicer than the other one. also my friend wasn’t that specific & gave me a lot of liberty do to whatever #she gave me a general idea of the colors she liked so these are perfect #also the inspo pics she sent me all had this kinda fair isle design but at first i was a little intimidated so i barely did it on that one #first mitten that i had posted. so i’m glad i tried a diff pattern a managed to make these!!!! #anyway that’s basically what my month was all about lol worrying abt the mitts then finally finding a solution #also i got a commission from a instagram mutual to crochet a bag with that little sleepy snoopy design on it!! i’ve seen it on tumblr a few #times now & i’m excited to finish this project & finally get to it!! already bought the yarn & it’s so pretty #SO MANY TYPOS SORRY #girl knits world #knitting

Donbrothers doodles

※ This amounts to just about everything I've drawn related the past year for Avataro Sentai Donbrothers. Some of old, some new, all very matsuri matsuri da. You get the idea. I wanna do something pretty substantial as a fan for it at some point in my creative endeavors. Until then this is what I'd like to share.

[Ep. 16] The Beach Episode Spa Arc

Well… I can’t argue with the numbers. I was going to give Julesx2 the chance to stay if their relationships with each other weren’t higher than their bars with Daniel: but lo and behold, these two have been building up their relationship more than I thought!

Being in control of Dan alone has its perks, but it also means I rarely ever see the relationships the contestants are building with each other - I knew these two spent a lot of time together, but damn! By the time this happened with Daniel literally just upstairs, it seems like Julien and Julian have found their perfect match: while it isn’t with our Bachelor, I think we should be happy for them regardless! 🥹

They will be getting a proper send-off post after we see a small moment of Daniel, Alone, going to grab a coffee before the next Rose Ceremony’s planning. To @mattodore and @morrigan-sims, thank you both for these darling, darling boys! They really are very happy together 🥹

[anxiously-sidequesting]

Sometimes I have actually insightful and interesting things to say about w101 and other times I say useless things like I want to carry around Wizard101 NPCS under my arms like exhausted and surrendered cats while I swing them around and slap their backs and shoulders like I'm proudly showing them off to strangers

#brought to you by the persistent mental image of me carrying ceren around under my arm like a non-fragile package #also brought to you by the “well i can hold him like this” (shows a guy holding a kitten in a funky matter) tumblr post #i also like to do this with anyone's ocs. i like to grab them like they're tiny and pick them up by the waist like they're clueless kittens #me humming as i pick up malorn duncan nolan off the floor. they're strewn about with arms and legs spread wide because they're tired #wizard101 #w101 #wiz101 #text posts #im allowed to post something useless every now and then #i dont think of smart things all the time this is actually the default state. smart posts come like butterflies. not all the time #who do y'all imagine picking up like this and slinging ober your shoulder like a sack. ceren really is That Guy for me #i cradle malorn like he's fragile but i will just sling ceren and nolan over my back like bags of rice #i need to get some adequate sleep USKSJAOABSU

On one hand, I hate that I'm making a vent post on this fandom blog. On the other hand, I am really annoyed and in a bad mood for unrelated reasons so I'm going to do it anyway.

I want to murder and destroy all the porn bots clogging the magi tags. It's infuriating.

"Because you follow #magi

*porn bot post*"

No, no, no. GO TO HELL.

Magi is already a small fandom. A lot of religious and spiritual blogs also use it. Even if they don't tags things with magi exclusively, I get a lot of Madoka Magica blogs recommended to me because of the series' full name (Puella Magi Madoka Magica). Nothing against them, of course, love existential magical girls. Point being I can bet none of us give a fucking shit. Leave our small tag alone!

I could just not visit the your tags page but the "because you follow x" posts pop up on home and following regardless. And I like checking in on random tags sometimes. It helps to not miss posts from people who simply have Magi as their anime of the week or whatever.

I do hate just to make this a vent post, so I'll add some anecdotal Magi stuff that I've already been thinking to make a shit post about. Unfortunately, I have not had anymore fandom related dreams. *

I will blab about the screenshot I chose for this though. I lowkey adore that scene. Morgiana just casually kidnapping her friend, so they can talk it out. (For reference, it's when she meets Alibaba in the Fog Troupe hideout and then just picks him up and leaves).

The funny thing is, they're not really friends at this point? Out of the trio and their relationships so far, Alibaba and Morgiana haven't had much time together. Morg is grateful that Alibaba freed her, yet I'll say they both are better friends with Aladdin right now.

Morgiana does bring this up. Her reasoning for taking Alibaba is so that he can talk to Aladdin and they can sort out their shit. She could see that the kid from Alibaba giving him the cold shoulder and is like "no." It's heartwarming. It's not something I'll recommend, sometimes people need space from each other and kidnapping is bad, still though- I love it lmao.

Best trio, ngl.

*I have since had a sorta Magi related dream since first writing this about a week ago. In it I met Ohtaka, except I've only ever looked at a few pictures of her before and know for a fact that how she looked in the dream isn't how she is irl. Maybe that's why it took me forever to recognize her. The first half was us basically meeting and talking about trivial stuff, not Magi or Orient because of not recognizing her, and the second half was me realizing my missed opportunity of fangirling and trying to find her again when she was not busy to get one of my volumes of Magi signed. Not in a desperate way but more of "ahhh, I'm so dumb and missed my chance. Bummer." I was way more melancholic about it compared to if I ever had the opportunity in real life. As if I knew it was a dream and not get too worked up about it.

My dreams are a lot more convoluted and trippy but that is the gist of the Magi related portion of the dream. The rest is irrelevant for this. Don't remember too much of it anyway.

That's all I have. This turned out long and I may trim it up. I feel better after typing it. That is what matters.

Fuck porn bots and may this small fandom prosper without them.

slithering out from under a rock or something to inform you that you DO have followers who are yaku lovers <3 he's been my fave since day one and i would love to accompany him to the farmers market

ah.. i sit corrected... valuable confirmation of intel. *enters it manually into the nucadex* where to find yakufans: farmer's market (they will be farming and/or marketing)

#i also am likely to be found in such an environment #i will be talking to the mushroom people for 20 minutes #my non-browsey friends in the background lingering like bored toddlers for the first 3 mins #until i start gesturing wildly about logs. then they give up and start wandering #oh no they got started on the logs this ain't wrapping up any time soon #that last post definitely brought out more yakufans than i've seen around these parts!! #like the rain brings out the worms (～￣︶￣)～ #hello everyone. thank u for visiting. make sure to grab a soil bag on ur way out (it is moist and finely textured) #gently scooping the wild yakufans back into their habitat so they may resume stealthy slithering #i'm gonna start joking about nucadex collecting now #u raise an eyebrow at me. i sigh. i know i knooooow #just because ppl share similar interests does not mean they are similar creatures #individual differences stronger than group differences yadayada yes we understand this implicitly #and i do so enjoy having a diverse biome of fans around me. FOR EXAMPLE: #YOINKS the wolfboy fans by the scruff of their necks #u can't do this to yakufans. but these guys??! built of sturdier stuff. #uses one of those long distance ball throwers to launch them across the field (they are chuckling mildly mid-flight) #BUT FOR THE JOKES 🙌👌👌 FIND YOUR LOCAL YAKUFAN AT THE PLACE THEY SELL FRESH FRUTAS #asks

damn they werent kidding that reading comprehension CAN piss on the poor

#i dont even think it's a reading comprehension issue i think people just love to assume the most bad-faith intentions on tumblr #last reblog was clearly talking about a post made as if it was some unspoken rule of social media #all the replies are ''umm they stated a personal boundary and you're making fun of them for it? :/'' #i can see how you got there but no. if you looked at the post for two seconds it's obvious we aren't doing targeted harassment 😭 #they're just saying it's a weird thing to post as if it was obvious people should have been behaving like that all along... #it's not like that's some common social media etiquette..... it's a strange thing to Expect #state your boundaries sure that's always fine. that's not what the post was about guys kfjhkg #i love finding a popular opinionated post and grabbing the bag of popcorn lmao #anyways im gonna go get food wahoo #hiiiiiii i wanted to post a bit today but. forgot :V #kept getting distracted by various things including skyblock itself #*wants to post about skyblock* *too busy playing skyblock to post* #most of my day was actually spent outside yay :] work again tomorrow tho #and saturday.. #chat

Also!

I'm updating my Mystery Bag prices! $18 $21 (x7 coffees on ko-fi)

Some examples of what you could get out of a mystery bag ⤵⤵

-Mystery Bag is a grab-bag of 'very basic sketch I don't normally do' to 'a commission style I no longer publicly offer' and in between. This is being ok with as little- or as much- effort I'd like to give!

#finished commission tag #dreamingart #dreamingdoodle #a full separate post to explain what a mystery/grab bag on my commission sheet is! :D

[Episode Five] One Last Push!

we all agree that fabian looks like a literal puppy here?? okay good dfkjshd When I said damage control, I meant damage control! Fabian was one of our Jealous Few that felt incredibly sad after watching Daniel leave the room, and after his last few conversations, our Bachelor is realizing just how important it is to be straightforward in this competition! (y'know.... he's still learning) Dan felt incredibly guilty about leaving our poor Mr. Hawkins frowning out in the summer heat - and Fabian's understanding earned him a First Kiss Whim! 💋
