from twitter / i will be extensively explaining my reasons for my answers for each of my blorbos! starting with mugi XD

song: pretty much all of pretty odd i associate with tsumugi but i also have a playlist of songs i imagine him playing while working into the night (well, i tried to approximate the sound, cos yk idk much about japanese oldies...)

animal: bluebird this bluebird that yes the birdie is his symbolic representative but this man is a SHEEP. SHEEP BOY. he bleats and has some crazy woolworks going on. there is even a cnstars (?) sticker of ram!mugi ok just trust the vision

food: pancakes are simple, easy, warm, and very... innocent? it evokes your inner child something like that. it's something mugi would like and have some sentimental connection to, somehow, or at least i imagine it to be that way

object: cheap-ish books! secondhand books! i think mugi would be a purveyor of popular and genre lit. i know he's canonically a fan of historical lit but i can also see him being the type to just pick up a random book and get into it. anything goes bookworm, and it's pretty economical, very down to earth to visualize lol

aesthetic: yes it's for the prep/ivy style but also imagine the suits and pretty dresses?! my femstars mugi always gets 40s/50s fashion cos i love how it fits her lol especially almost pin-up/hyperfem outfits they're so coy so fun on her! mugi's a very comfy cozy type of person but in a nice suit i think he'd look dashing. he's already kind of the gentle older guy type in switch isn't he? let mugi be more ikemen 2k24

other: stars cos natsume is the moon and sora is the sun (or a rainbow!) :)

“The god of fire, blacksmiths and artisans, Hephaistos was so closely linked with fire that his very name could denote the element. This is similar in part to how Poseidon is intimately linked with the sea, except that Hephaistos is a god endowed with metis, in his case a cunning that elevated him beyond a solely elemental power. He is fire, but he is also a craftsman able to exploit and tame fire. As klutometis (‘renowned for cunning’), he was responsible for works of exceptional skill including the shield of Achilleus, certain golden-wheeled tripods that were capable of moving by themselves and automata fashioned from gold to assist him in his forge. It was thanks to Hephaistos that the birth of Athena was able to take place, when he freed her from the body of Zeus with his ‘child-delivering axe’ (Kallimachos fragment 37). He also created a throne for his mother Hera that was gleaming and enticing, but from which she could not escape until he released her from the invisible constraints that were imprisoning her. This takes us to another dimension of his cunning. He was an outsider among the gods – the lame god, detested by his mother as soon as he was born – but he was able to use his skills to extract revenge. This ability is seen most notably when he takes revenge on Aphrodite by trapping her with her lover Ares in a net so fine that it was invisible (Homer, Odyssey 8.266ff.). So effective is his trickery and artifice that it could trap even the goddess of the wiles of love.

Athena, too, was able to fashion intricate objects, in her case as a woolworker. One of her epithets was Ergane (‘worker’) and she is sometimes depicted holding woolworking implements. According to one ancient description of the palladion, for example, ‘in the right hand it held a spear lifted up, while in the other, a distaff and spindle’ (Apollodoros 3.12.3). In her contest with the mortal weaver Arachne, she produced a tapestry with ‘subtle delicate tints that change insensibly from shade to shade’ (Ovid, Metamorphoses 6.63–4, tr. Melville). In the Iliad, she is clothed in the dress that she herself wove (5.734–5) and in one version of the creation of the aegis, the flayed skin of the giant Pallas provides the raw material for her techne (Apollodoros 1.6.2). As well as weaving her own clothes, she was the patron of mortal woolworkers, whether women who performed the task as domestic labour, such as the ‘soft-skinned young women’ of the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite quoted at the head of this chapter – who carried out their skill inside their houses – or those who did it as their trade. Several of the epigrams in the Palatine Anthology concern professional spinsters who dedicate their tools to Athena as their patron. . . .

Athena is associated with other skilled activities too. As well as helping to create the Trojan Horse, she fashioned the palladion in the likeness of a childhood friend called Pallas (Apollodoros 3.12.3). She was the patron of potters and shared Hephaistos’ function as deity of metalwork, the difference being that she did not herself work with metal. When she required weapons, she turned to Hephaistos, just as all the gods did. This differentiation provides a way of understanding the differing status of Athena and Hephaistos among the gods. As we have seen, Hephaistos was the divine servant, a figure of fun, whose status was peripheral in contrast to that of Athena, the goddess who was, in the words of Hera, ‘distinguished among all the blessed gods’ (Homeric Hymn to Pythian Apollo 315), a contrast that reflects the status of metalworkers in Greek society as essential to society, but marginalised and even feared. Athena had the technical ability to teach skills and promote male craft, but she did not, herself, work with these materials. The main differences we have identified so far, then, are that while both deities are gods of craft, the works of Hephaistos are fashioned in the noise of the furnace while Athena does not get her hands dirty, as it were. Her particular skill, woolworking, was, in contrast, the consummate female activity for a society where the proper role for women was working at the loom. This division of labour is reflected in their respective roles in the creation of Pandora, where Hephaistos used base material (clay) and Athena taught her woolworking: He [Zeus] urged renowned Hephaistos to make haste and mix earth with water and to put in it the voice and strength of humankind, and fashion a sweet, lovely maiden-shape, like to the immortal goddesses in face; and Athena to teach her needlework and the weaving of the varied web. (Hesiod, Works and Days 60–64, Loeb translation, slightly adapted)”

A lil sneak peek of my next crocheting project ^^

Not gonna tell you what it is yet, but it is going to be a belated christmas present for a friend.

I went a bit inactive for the last few months. Life happened and I suddenly had little time (and also little shelf space for new wooly friends) left to do any woolwork. Hopefully that can change in the near future, as knitting and crocheting are still big hobbies of mine 😊
