#that learned to love arts and crafts

[nocek]

booo! I finished the promised halloween post!

I even made it with extra side of depression ;P

One of these days I need to write down all my headcanons about them. Just so I won't forget them (eh, if only I could write fanfics >.<) and it will fun to see how far off I am when the next movie drops.

But anyway to prove I'm not that evil : here is the more fun version

#spiderverse #atsv #across the spiderverse #gabriella o’hara #miguel o'hara #spiderman #spiderman 2099 #halloween #please appreciate how consistent I am with my work #muguel is and forever will be a kitty ;P #that learned to love arts and crafts #and also cosplay/costume making #as a natural and mandatory part of parenthood

There's nothing he can't do. Yet.

(Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #bonus comic #This whole poll and comic is very inspired by a convo I had with qourmet in one of their art streams. #namely that the Art Of Grilling is a powerful skill separate from cooking. #I've also been inspired by said convo to try and learn how to grill. What's the point of having a garden if I can't grill my summer squash? #Anyways. I hope this appeases the crowd that has been in arms about the prev prev poll. #I don't think teenji can cook. I think lan wangji is just very good at dedicating himself to whatever craft he needs to pick up. #give him a day and he will be a grill dad #the most powerful beast of the summer lawn biome. #Until then he will lie awake at night. Haunted by this inadequacy. He's just like me for real (chronic perfectionist). #I think this is the first domestic wangxian post i've made. God I'm so sorry wangxian fans. #wwx could not care *less* abt lwj having flaws. I think thats the beauty of this relationship. they *know* about each other's flaws FIRST. #Love each people *because* of the flaws - not despite them (thats my unsolicited advice for the day). #also if you noticed my medium gray marker slowly giving out...today it finally died on me....

I really want to make a Night Vale quilt, the show is so comforting and nostalgic to me it feels like a big soft old blanket, so I feel like immortalizing the show as a quilt would be perfect

#if anyone has any quilt making tips please let me know #I’ve never made a quilt before but I would love to learn the craft #my art #wtnv #welcome to night vale #night vale

If I'm honest, the whole "love in every stitch" saying for fiber artists does not apply to me, like. I'm trying to get this fucking hook into stubborn yarn and I'll be stabbing it like it owed me money. Is that love because I hope not 😭💀

#art #crochet #honestly the closest thing i feel to love when crocheting is this feeling that this is bigger than me if that makes sense... #...i think it'sthe feeling of knowing how old the craft itself is and knowing that millions of people have done the same as you... #...millions of people have stabbed their crochet hook into the yarn because it's stubborn but so are you... #...millions of people in the past have sat and devoted their time and effort into all of this... #...millions of people have passed on this knowledge and kept this thing alive... #...and it's the feeling of knowing that humans across millenia aren't THAT different #to our core we are more or less similar - across the ages across the colours across everything. that really comforts and humbles me #have you looked up ancient textiles? because that also sparks these emotions in me #it makes me think about the tupes of people to make the textile but also about who wore it #and so many of them are still beautiful and colourful and it shows you SO MUCH about the people who made them #even the ones that are tattered and faded and stripped of colour still feel beautiful... #...because it has SURVIVED. it is evidence of a people who made it and a people who had technical skills #and THIS is why i HATE HATE HATE the idea that ancient people were just 'dumb' and 'uneducated' #that is so unfair to them and cruel and just. wrong. (and often it reeks of white supremacy) #i'm sorry i rant and rave about this so much but i canNOT be normal about this. i can't be normal about humanity #i am learning to love humanity and learn about us and learn everything and it'll never be enough - i will never know enough #i will never know everything about everybody and it will be the death of me #okay the only thing i liked about the greatest showman movie was Never Enough because that is me thinking about all this

guys I’m literally so excited I can’t give analysis my brain is just !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I lied see commentary in tags)

#WASAASUGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHEN AKANE FIRST STARTED SHE HAD TO LEARN TO ADJUST TO THE AUDIENCE BECAUSE SHE WAS CAUGHT UP IN THE ART #NOW SHES SO CONNECTED TO THE AUDIENCE AND THE CRAFT SHE HAS TO GROUND HERSELF TO THE HER ROLE AS ZENZA FOR HER MENTOR #SHES MAKING HER OWN NIN BUT WILL SHE REMEMBER ITS NOT JUST HER ? #I LOVE HOW HER StrENGTH AND WEAKNESS IS CONNECTING WITH OTHER PEOPLE THROUGH RAKUGO #AKANE BANASHI #THE TANUKI RAKUGO SPIRIT GUIDE RAHHHGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE TANUKI MOTIF MAKES ME CRAZYYYYY #A LIL SCRAPPY A LIL CLUMSY BUT MAGICAL AND TRUE. #THE WAY TANUKI ARE ASSOCIATED WITH GOOD LUCK!!!!! SIMILAR TO HOW AKANE TAKES HER CHANCES AND LEAPS BEFORE SHE THIBKS BUT THINKS ON THE GO #AND OFC HER MENTOR FOR THIS ARC ISNTHE GAMBLER? AND AND THE WAY HER FATHER RETURNS SOMEONE WHO #WAS REJECTED!!! BECAUSE HE APPEALED TO THE AUDIENCE BUT NOT TO THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SHINUCHI #THIS ARC IS A DIRECT PARALLEL TO THE PERFORMANCE THAT DEFINED AKANE’S CAREER #HE EVEN SAID HIS KIMONO SUITS HER HIS….!! HOW DID I NOT SEE THE PARALLELS UNTIL NKW #IM SO SICK #SEND HELP #Seb out

I have crawled out of my "only doing art studies pit" to craft a piece so full of love, and I shall now post that piece before once again disappearing to cry over anatomy

#simon says #i shit you not I dont think I've loved a piece so much before #it's like #i hand crafted this piece out of love for myself and no one else and it brings me such joy #and it's gonna be weird as fuck #i shit you not you're gonna think im joking after I do the alt text and post this one #you're gonna think 'haha what a funny joke they made' NO #this is SERIOUS #I made this piece with every single bone in my body and every ounce of love I possess to make myself happy #in the span of two days #forcing myself out of my comfort zone multiple times in the process #and learning so much #and I guarantee people will think it is a joke and that all of this is ironic #it is not #none of what my next post will be is ironic #i am just putting that out there now #i know as an artist one will interpret my art in their own unique way based off their experiences #and I have no control over that #nor do I want to #but I do want to put my own personal intentions loud and clear here #the meaning of the piece is very personal and I shant share it lest it ruin the viewer's experience with it #but I do want to make it clear that none of this is going to be ironic

Figured it might be fun to tease what I'm currently working on at the moment with materials I have already at my disposal. I decided to make a fan plush of Barnaby B. Beagle from Welcome Home for a challenge since I never really attempted something with a bowler hat before. For a first time hat making, I think I did pretty well on that part. Next up will be making Barnaby himself since the vest is gonna take a bit of time to figure out how to tackle.

#Art #My art #Fan Art #Fan Plush #Welcome Home #WIP #Clothing #Accessories #Seriously it was an adventure learning how to make the bowl part of the bowler hat #Barnaby B. Beagle #Sewing #Craft #Why they have ribbons on is because velcro is a nightmare to hand sew on and I love making plush dolls that can have clothing changes #Plush doll #Plush

I know a lot of people hc that Curt can't cook but I present you with my evidence on why he's the best cook out of every saf character:

Mrs. Mega raised him as a single mother during the great depression. That I'm pretty sure is canon.

This would mean she had to work a lot to keep them afloat

Which would lead to Curt having to be alone a lot as a kid

He tried to cook home alone, but nearly set the kitchen on fire multiple times

Mrs. Mega banned him from the kitchen and also couldn't teach him to cook, because she didn't have the time nor is she the best cook herself

Curt not liking being told to not do something started cooking a lot, both for himself and his mom

Over time he got good, like really good

(He started baking too although he wasn't as successful in that)

It went from cooking just to eat warm food everyday to a sort of thank you for his mom for doing so much

All in all he was quite the problem child getting bad grades, getting into fights etc so this was one of the few ways he felt he could make it up to her

Anytime Mrs. Mega saw her favourite food on the table when she got home she knew Curt fucked up big time

It became a sort of tradition for him to apologize by making dinner, even if he never gave a verbal apology or fully admitted to doing something wrong

this tradition carried over to his other relationships and other occasions

He makes dinner every time him and Owen can visit each other in their homes, He cooks soup every time someone he loves is sick, on missions where he can't make full meals he'll still find the time to make tea or coffee for Owen (He once tried to give Cynthia cookies. She nearly killed him, because she doesn't trust any food or drinks made by anyone but her... or Susan)

Anyways yeah I'm very passionate about this headcanon. This man will literally do anything but say how he feels

#spies are forever #tin can bros #tcb #saf #agent curt mega #tin can brothers #szol's spy rambles #also give it up for mrs mega shes literally the biggest girlboss in the story #like she raised a dumbass kid all alone #during the great depression #after her asshole husband just up and left #and now shes doing great! #going out with her friends knitting bowling doing bingo whatever #calling faking documents arts and crafts?? #where did she learn to fake documents??? #i love her so much

For a long time I've been trying to get information on how kanzashi hairpins are made, start to finish. Specifically hirauchi kanzashi, the type that Matsu from House of Five Leaves makes (metal, flat, two pronged), for fanart reasons lol. But I could only ever find stuff on the ones that are decorated with fabric :<

I just made a whole post asking for help on that front, when I figured I should search for it in Japanese writing. And I got a beautiful video where they show everything in detail! I'm so so happy, but I also feel a bit dumb for never thinking of that in like 9 years ^^;

#ikke #I also have a couple more headcanons now :3 #and I made a youtube folder with videos explaining Matsu related stuff #I found an awesome video about the making process of kiseru #I love knowing more about crafts!! #craftsmanship is awesome!! #not that I plan on learning how to make pipes and hairpins - but I do wanna be like my colleague #who knows how to make pretty much every possible type of graphic art #saraiya goyou #house of five leaves

man. thinking about how the survivors all desperately need new hobbies

like. okay. sonia’s a great example. off the top of your head what are her hobbies? probably learning about and researching true crime and the occult, and watching j-dramas/anime, right? but if you really think about it, her fascination with japanese culture very much feels like her just desperately wanting to fit in and massively overcompensating. so while i do think she probably enjoys those shows, theyre definitely not as popular in her kingdom as she claims (not that im saying she’s lying on purpose, just that. well, when you feel embarrassed about someones reaction to you liking something, sometimes you’ll try to make an excuse for why you do yknow), and plus, its not like they have access to a lot of entertainment media for a while post program. as for the occult/true crime stuff…

look me in the eye and tell me junko did not use that against her. do you really think junko enoshima would not see a girl obsessed with the study of serial killers and not try and warp that into a fascination with her?

i think that stuff leaves a bad taste in her mouth now. and after committing and being complicit in the committing of the kind of crimes she used to be fascinated by, its kind of hard to find the joy in that anymore, yknow? the occult stuff could maybe still be enjoyable, but with how often it feels like there are ghosts lurking around every fucking corner and her dreams are filled with screaming corpses its kinda hard to be fanciful about that stuff.

so. girl needs some new hobbies.

its not much better for the others, either. akanes hobbies were basically working out, doing parkour, eating, and sleeping. the first two are downright impossible for the first several months after waking up, and for the foreseeable future any kind of physical activity is going to be, to an extent, difficult just due to how much chronic pain and weakness she’ll probably suffer the rest of her life. she can get to a healthier weight and a stronger muscular build, but its not going to change the fact that she gets out of breath and sore much faster than before. as for eating… well. thats gonna be a sore subject for a while. so all she has left is sleeping, and sleeping all day is, as ive been told by many people, kind of a depression symptom? and theres no way the others would sit back and let her do that.

girl needs some new hobbies!

kazuichi, from what we can tell, had a few more normal hobbies. in game you can find him gaming with chiaki, and he seems to enjoy coming up with schemes and plans for silly stuff, but overall he just loves his tinkering. he may be the ultimate mechanic but first and foremost he just loves fucking with machines and engines and finding out what makes them tick. but even that isnt gonna work anymore. sure, he could game. if they had any fucking consoles. or a working computer network. or any games. but none of that is happening for a while, if ever. as for his tinkering, it’s gotta be a similarly sore subject to sonia’s training and tutoring as a princess. its too closely linked to what he did as a despair, too closely linked to his talent, to not make him feel like screaming when he smells machine polish. i think he definitely could get back to a point where it genuinely brings him joy again, and before that he definitely forces himself to use his talent and knowledge because they need it, but. its a complicated problem.

the guy needs some new fucking hobbies.

and of course… fuyuhiko.

fuyuhiko… doesnt have any hobbies.

like okay can you think of a single thing from the game (or fuck even the anime) that implies that he has anything he actually does For Fun. he has a sweet tooth. hes dedicated to his clan. he went to the zoo with peko one time. he got in fights at school. thats… those arent hobbies. fuyuhiko doesnt have any hobbies!!! someone get this boy some fucking knitting needles or a book to read!!!! please!!!!!!!!!! i think it would genuinely help him a lot to have something to do instead of just sitting and stewing in his own trash fire of a brain speaking from experience. learn to sew, read some fantasy novels, learn to play the guitar, something. im begging you.

and hajime is his own fucking can of worms.

he probably had hobbies before the Horrors. right? he probably played some video games, maybe liked martial arts films, maybe sketched in the margins of his notebooks. rode his bike sometimes. but now? nothing keeps his interest that long. everything becomes monotonous after a while, and sure, sometimes thats the draw. with stuff like fiber crafts the point is sometimes making it muscle memory so you have something to do with your hands. but other times its not. and his ability to basically excel in most things you put in front of him has to be so fucking boring after a while. a lot of the point of having hobbies is that you arent perfect. the draw is learning, is getting better. even reading can become nothing when any nonfiction book has knowledge in it you already know and any fiction book you can intuit the ending from the first few pages. he probably reads Lightning Fast now too, so it cant hold his interest for long.

he probably has to constantly be switching hobbies and outlets. cant stay on one thing too long, or the ennui starts to set in. that sounds miserable.

someone get these kids some hobbies, man

#personal #meta #danganronpa #sdr2 #neo survivors #MAN. YOU EVER THINK ABOUT HOW MISERABLE THE SURVIVORS ARE AT FIRST #BECAUSE I DO!!!!!! #personally i think sonia gets into painting. i think its fun if she specifically gets into mural painting #and starts decorating the facilities walls #i think she also gets really into helping build stuff and working with her hands because she never did that as a princess!!! #fuyuhiko i think gets into fiber crafts. specifically i could see him doing embroidery and shit #and reading. i think he develops a very embarrassing love of romance novels #but mostly he likes detective and mystery fiction yknow #kaz of course figured out how to make tinkering work for him again. he has to #but i think they also get into like. soldering as an art thing too #sculpture and stuff!! #and they and sonia are both really into fashion stuff so when the foundation sends them more clothes #and more materials #they both go ham making new clothes and outfits and shit #the two of them both learning how to sew <3 bonding experience. #akane definitely also figures out a way to get working out to work again. just slightly different from before #more stretching and stuff. i think she could also benefit from some meditation techniques! maybe she gets into yoga #and of course when they all finally get shipments of movies and tv shows from before the tragedy they all eat that shit UP #OH and akane LOVES taking care of the animals. like yeah a lot of them are probably gonna end up getting eaten eventually #and she definitely is a benefitter of that. but that doesnt mean she cant care for them now!!! #she takes point on feeding and caring for their livestock and chickens and stuff <3 #hajime of course. uh. jumps around. he does a lot of stuff. #anything to keep the darkness at bay ykwim!!!! haha #i do think he reads. and i think he does do art too because even if you have the ultimate artist in you #its always gonna turn out a little different

[psychiclounge]

that "you don't need to get into a new craft" post is a fucking curse btw now i have a mini inkle loom and a nalbinding needle coming

#the needle is in purpleheart wood tee hee #i got a four inch one which as far as i can tell is longer than average #but i want to be able to get it against my palm to get some leverage i think #i dont want to fiddle around with a 2 inch - 2 1/2 inch needle i feel like w time that would just make my fingers cramp it feels Small #the mini loom is so fucking cute also it's literally tiny #8 inches long #w a little lap rest #they SAY it's not good for beginners to learn on bc it's so small #but i have a habit of picking up a new hobby and immediately jumping into something difficult #i started getting into fiber arts literally by making lace #i am just like this #i Will learn to weave on that tiny loom #so help me god #i love a challenge w my crafts

[babyloniastreasure]

one of my biggest pet peeves is how most digital art tutorial videos aren’t actually tutorials at all. its just the artist drawing and MAYBE talking about the fact that they’re Drawing Something

You click on a video called “HOW TO PAINT HAIR.” The thumbnail has beautifully rendered hair. You are inexperienced when it comes to rendering, and think this video may be useful. The video the artist says, ‘this is the brush i use :) for shadows i put a dark color on it :) then i add highlights sometimes :) thats how you paint hair!’

like bro you have not taught anybody anything. WHY are the shadows where they are. WHY are your highlights dispersed the way they are. WHY did you choose the colors you did. which way are you blending and why? how do you determine which edges you’re going to leave hard and which ones you’re going to leave soft, especially when there’s lack of contrast? talk about visible vs blended brush strokes! about back-painting! about things you learned as you went! about what NOT to do when you’re starting!!

It’s literally “How to draw an Owl. Step one: draw some circles. Step two: draw the rest of the fucking owl.”

#jask is rambling #its this kinda shit that makes me consider doing tutorials of my own #i LOVE learning other artists' methods. you can never stop learning and developing your craft so i watch art tutorials a lot #but for fuck's sakes. if i had a dollar for every time an art tutorial was actually a speed paint. i'd be able to pay rent #these people should never be teachers #aint teachin shit

【送別 Farewell Part I】

To say goodbye to Amy on last Sunday night - gave a farewell, so we went to the harbor side to eat street foods - stinky tofu and Taiwanese ice cream (This's a common happiness but she will not see all in NZ, that's why we chose this way goodbye ) and watched the fishermen selling their freshly caught fish. and then took a long long walking around the sea.

週日晚與Amy道別 - 送行，所以我們去海港邊吃街頭小吃-臭豆腐和台灣挫冰，看漁民如何銷售剛捕獲新鮮的魚。這是最尋常的小確幸，但她回到紐西蘭卻無法享受到的。

PS. the short video was : 道教-七爺八爺常見的街頭遊行 Taoism-common street parades of Qi Ye and Ba Ye in Taiwan, Because I was born in a Catholic family, and my grandparents were among the few Catholics in China at time; so I was not used to being close to Chinese Taoist temples. To be honest, you will feel the fire of the magnetic fields colliding, and my spirit must be ready very humble, so in addition to visiting art and culture, I almost kept my rebellion away from Taoist temples. :))) Lan~*

❄️🍉💖

🍉 Are you a planner, or are you more of a “eh we’ll see how this one goes” -type of crafter?

I’m more of a “how hard can it be” type of crafter. I think of something and go “well, how hard could that be?” and then I either crush it or learn “much harder than expected, actually”. I have done that for literally EVERYTHING I currently make. Cricut? How hard can it be? Punch needle? How hard can it be? Resin? How hard can it be? Polymer clay? How hard can it be? Stained glass? [I am forcibly yanked off the stage]

💖 Which one of your creations are you the proudest of? Show off!

This fucking shadow box from hell that took like 20 working hours to make and STILL hasn’t sold but is one of THE most gorgeous pieces I’ve ever made in my entire life

❄️ Do you have any crafting (either craft or community related) pet peeves?

(Saving the best because im a petty bitch and have Many)

- This is really vendor specific but I HATE event vendor group chats So Fucking Much. They are full of the absolute dumbest people on God’s green earth made specifically to annoy ME. Just a laundry list of “your reading comprehension is piss poor / how dare you say I piss on the poor” ass people. I have so many examples but the worst most recent one was the day before Easter we had an event in town that had been discussed for MONTHS beforehand. The event coordinator had sent us the set up info on multiple occasions, like I’ve actually never done a more organized event. So we’ve been told many times the set up time was 9am, show time was 11am, okay? The night before the event coordinator sends a message saying basically “hey yall I need you to park on x side of the building and at 10:30am we’re gonna lock the x side entrance doors” and people fucking LOST IT. Like there were IMMEDIATELY ten messages being like “so we only have thirty minutes of set up??????” I hate vendor chats. These people are so fucking stupid.

- I’m in a bunch of Facebook groups for beginners to ask questions in and the thing that just drives me insane is when people are like “hey I bought x thing at the store, how do i decorate it?” like????? However you want?? It’s for you?? What are you even talking about

- Also Facebook related but anyone who can’t read directions on shit and then asks why their resin piece fucked up make me so annoyed

- Also also people who just post a picture and then say “what’d i do wrong” with no further elaboration?? Idk man, what am I looking at??

- craft specific: pet peeve when I get poked by wire when making ribbon wreaths

- also when I misjudge where my finger is when deburring resin and nick my finger 😠

- when fabric won’t lay flat for a fucking iron on

- when the transfer tape gets a crinkle on top of a decal and makes the decal go a little wonky is my fucking 9/11

#ask games #statement ends #spyderinej #((thank you tori 🥺❤️🥺❤️🥺❤️)) #((i have so many pet peeves and annoyances actually i could talk shit about Facebook groups for hours)) #((if i see one more post that’s like ‘i want to start a business what should i sell’ my head is going to fucking explode)) #((idk man make whatever you want?? see what the markets around you look like and what’s selling there??)) #((ive added like ten different new things to my set up since starting just for variation at shows)) #((no one can do this for you like you have to do it because you want to and it’s something you love)) #((and i promise you are not going to make money from it for the first couple of years)) #((like it’s a completely different ballgame from just selling to friends and family man)) #((doing shows sucks)) #((people don’t give a shit about handmade anymore)) #((no one appreciates art because everyone thinks they can make it)) #((the don’t see the 100s of hours and 1000s of dollars that go into learning craft making)) #((anyway can you tell im at a show rn lmao))
