Guys I’m not dead, k. I just haven’t had time to crochet in like forever.
🔮 Meet Tarot 🔮
First custom of the year!
I'm honestly so proud of how she turned out! She has accessories of three of the minor arcana suits, I just need to find her a wand to complete the set.
Also her sensor is glittery but it doesn't show up well in pictures ✨
As you all know. I work at an elementary school. And for Christmas, a bunch of kids got tamagotchis. Well. One girl fucking FORGOT her tamagotchi at school. And I saw it and was like oh fuck. So I took it home for the weekend and now am saddled with the responsibility of keeping it alive until Monday afternoon when I see her again.
Not this damn tamagotchi setting off an alarm at fucking 1am because it "pooped" and I need to press buttons to clean it up 😭 there's NO WAY of turning this thing off. Avielle is lucky I've committed myself to taking care of it this weekend. Next time a kid forgets their tamagotchi at school I'm letting it die idc idc
I’m locking it in the bathroom overnight idc the fact that it keeps going off for no reason is insane whoever invented these needs to go to jail
I can’t clean its poop while it’s asleep so it’s just sleeping in a pile of it’s own shit rn … why is this enjoyable??
This fucking thing is like. Nocturnal. It’s slept ALL DAY like it won’t STOP SLEEPING in a pile of shit and there’s nothing I can do to wake it up which like, that’s fine except it’s going to wake up at night and start beeping at me!!!!! How am I supposed to take care of it when it literally is only awake at night???? I have a morning shift tomorrow I can’t stay up until 3 am to feed this fucking pixel beast!!! But also I swore to myself that I wouldn’t let avielle’s beloved tamagotchi die so I guess this is just my life now
Tamagotchi UPDATE because a lot of people are saying they’re invested in how this plays out.
After, i shit you not, OVER THIRTEEN HOURS of sleep, the tamagotchi finally woke up at 9:18pm, which I was made aware of because it beeped loudly at me. For context, I am at my SECOND job (not the elementary school, the candy shop where I am currently alone working the closing shift on a Saturday night, which is already not fun.) I investigate and finally clean up the two giant shits that have been sitting on screen for the entire thirteen hour nap. However, the poops are quickly replaced by…. A ghost????
You can’t rly see but it was like. The black blob to the side. Clearly a ghost or possibly skull or black jellyfish. When I try to hit any buttons, the tamagotchi shakes its head violently at me, refusing to eat or play. I can’t get the ghost to leave. A customer walks in and I have to hastily stuff the tamagotchi into my pocket. When I take it out of my pocket, the ghost has gone. I press a bunch of buttons at random until I am able to ascertain that this little fuck is 1. STARVING 2. MISERABLE. Which is NOT MY FAULT, seeing as it was asleep for THE ENTIRE WAKING FUCKING DAY and resisted all attempts to engage with it. I press more buttons, and am able to feed it 5 hamburgers and 2 pieces of cake, which fills it up. It is still deeply unhappy. I am currently standing behind the counter of this stupid candy store on the clock jamming buttons in order to entertain this stupid pixelated asshole enough that it becomes sufficiently happy. So that it doesn’t fucking die of boredom or depression or whatever. The game we play is confusing and involves numbers and pressing buttons at random times. The tamagotchi is very explicit with its attempts to show its frustration at me, but right now it’s 9:32pm and I think it’s satisfied. I’ve been walked in on three times. It keeps beeping at me from my pocket. Long story short:
So this tamagotchi is the fucking devil.
11:30pm Saturday night. I’m finally almost done closing the candy store and ready to go home. Since waking up, the tamagotchi has been periodically beeping with an obscene sense of urgency and entitlement, but nothing out of the ordinary. I take a fun mirror selfie (for a later update) with the tamagotchi in the mirror by the front door right before I’m about to leave. I walk away from the mirror.
It fucking shatters.
God fucking help me I am about to lose my shit.
Morning update: a very kind person sent me an ask telling me how to hack a pause on this tamagotchi. They also, in a round abour way, told me how to set the time—the eight year old who owns this tamagotchi had it set to the reverse, so the beastie thought it was 9:30pm instead of am, which explains why it was ONLY AWAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I fixed it for her so that it actually has a reasonable sleep schedule, woke up the tamagotchi, cleaned it’s 3 festering poops, got rid of the ghost (which someone else informed me means the tamagotchi is sick, probably from the starvation and the poops), fed it a bunch of hamburgers and cake slices, and got it back to full health and happiness. Now I’m gonna use the pause hack to pause this motherfucker. Yaaaay! Time to feed and walk my actual living dog and then go to work and clean up a shattered mirror 🧍🧍🧍
Nothing new to report, I had a long workday so I’m REALLY glad that person gave me the pause hack or it would have died of neglect. To address some of the comments in the notes, 1. yes this kid is worth it I would do it for any of them I love my children even if I fucking hate this tamagotchi 2. @ the person in my notes who said their tamagotchi stressed them so much they destroyed it with a hammer youre my favorite person and that’s hysterical I get it I really do 3. Several people are asking where they can get a tamagotchi and expressing the desire to acquire one and I have to say: if your takeaway from this post is that tamagotchis are fun toys there is something WRONG with you THEY ARE NOT FUN THE MORAL OF THIS POST IS DO NOT GET A TAMAGOTCHI THEY SUCK SO BAD 4. I give this piece of shit back to Avie early tomorrow afternoon thank fucking god I’ve never been more excited to get rid of a thing in my life. Okay that’s all for now thank you for following this journey we are nearing the end. Goodnight from me and atlas and the pixel devil
Yoooooo it evolved into a kind of blobular duck thing !!
THE TAMAGOTCHI HAS BEEN RETURNED TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER!!!!
It was honestly worth it, she was so so surprised and happy and at the end of the day, that’s all that matters to me. I would do anything for these kids for real. But I am also beyond thrilled that that hellspawn is out of my hands. What a harrowing year this past weekend has been. This is my final update—I know a lot of people have become invested, and to those people I say thank you for joining me on this journey. I leave you with this.
Next episode on Totopopopo's tamagotchi adventures...
Hey guys if you read this and want a tamagotchi target and Walmart sell re-makes of the originals (which is the one OP’s student has) for $20 ish USD. There’s a bunch of different shell patterns tho and some are more rare than others. Amazon has more variety, but watch out for scams. The lowest you should be paying is $20 usd and it should have only 3 buttons.
are the stars shining tonight? 🌌✨
I got my hands on one of the 2023 furbys. She still does not have a name yet. She’s pretty cute I’m not sure how I feel about the new look yet. But she’s happy to be with all the other Furbys I have collected
I have many a question about the functionality of the 2023 furbs, because like… I haven’t seen any ads for them but they kinda seem like glorified stuffed animals to me (not horrible. Just not furby per se)
Like do their ears move? Do they talk? Do they blink??? Do they have the motion sensing or more importantly the feeding function???
(Please don’t interpret this as 2023 furb hate! It’s just curiosity)
Oh I don’t take it it as hate ay all!
They are like furbys, they talk and sing and her ears wiggle and light up! You can feed them and tickle their tummies. I find them pretty cute. They have a few different things they can do if you push the heart you can ask them to do things like “furby dance party” and they sing and light up.
Over all it’s not my least favorite gen of Furby. I found them pretty cute when I saw them, but the 70$ price tag does seem a bit steep.
Thanks!! This answered a lot of my questions about these guys.
They’re probably my favorite gen as far as looks go for sure, but I do see what you mean with the $70 price tag.

Not super relevant to this blog, but I'm really proud of it so I thought I'd show my Monster High display here! I'm probably going to redo my anime figure display cabinets soon too and I'll show those as well.
Added a new camel to my herd this weekend - the fat orange one behind the marble<3
Also forgot to put my chained-up trio in the pic :|
This reminds me of my great grandparents camel room! They had the one in the very back on the beds in there.
i’m using Internet Explorer, i hope this posts quickly. happy new year 2011
The longer this goes on for the funnier it gets
i drew this lil guy in ms paint today! :3
I finally finished this fucking furby after several months! This project has taken me so long to complete, and the reason for that is a combination of lack of motivation, biting off more than i can chew and being away from home for some time.
But, two days ago on the 1st of August, it was finally finished.
Meet,
Sunday Stacked Waffles!
Fun fact (ish): the wings are a seperate piece that aren't connected to the body. I couldn't figure out how to connect them to the furby itself so i glued them onto a piece of cardboard and some ribbon instead. Tbh i kinda think the wings being removable is a good thing though, because they're very huggable without them!
Waffles uses any pronouns and she can also be called 'Sunday'
The First Half has been completed
[ID START: a picture of 9 crochet plushies leaning up against a tree. END ID]
I have finally completed the first phase of my @hellofromthehallowoods dolls, and am super excited to talk about them! beware, however, as this post will inevitably be long. So long in fact, that I actually logged into this godforsaken website rather than use the app, so I could properly type.
[ID START: a photo of one of the dolls from the above photograph. The doll is of a white girl with brown buzz cut hair. She has brown eyes and wears a red tank top with a black jacket. Her Jeans are blue, and her shoes are black. END ID]
Riot was my first doll, which also means she's my least favorite. This was a doll that made many firsts for me, including crocheting pants, and not rooting the hair of the doll. Given my affinity for doll hair, she just never felt complete too me. She also just seemed incredibly bulky due to all of the layers of yarn blanketing her. It makes her rather stiff. That said, I did learn a lot while making her that you'll see through the rest of the first half.
{ID START: another photograph of a doll from the above image. She is a black girl, with black hair, eyes, and glasses. She wears a dress with a salmon top, and neon pink skirt. It has a teal bow around the waist with a pale yellow center. She wears yellow leggings and teal boots. END ID]
Naturally, Clara came next. I still think she's my favorite of the first phase of dolls. I knew from the start that she wore a dress; although, I had pictured her in something more... calm? regardless, I was doing a huge deep dive into J-fashon at the time, and it likely seeped a bit into my work. I have no regrets. She's adorable! Also she got to be the first doll I've ever embroidered glasses on to!
[ID START: a photo of another doll from the top photo. This one is white with black hair pulled back into two braids. She wears a plain, sparkly blue dress, with matching shoes. END ID]
Did I buy this blue yarn specifically to make this doll? Yes. Do I have any regrets? nope. I based this design loosely on Wednesday Adams, because Friday just frankly gives me those vibes. Her design is quite simple, but I do love how her and Clara look when next too each other.
[ID START: another photo of one of the dolls. This time the doll hangs from a tree, They have choppy black hair, and a patchwork of different skin tones stitched to their body, with pink thread. they have pale eyes, a white shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans. END ID]
Diggory Graves was a challenge to design. A known hill I will die on is that they wear a plague doctor mask; however, I knew I'd have a hard time showcasing their skin if I gave them one. Design wise, I like the stitches, so I originally sewed a plague doctor mask to the side of the head, as I had seen that done with creepy pasta fanart in the past.It didn't look as good in a 3D space as it had in 2D, so I ended up getting rid of it all together. Make no mistake however, this character absolutely wears a plague doctor mask.
[ID START: another photo of one of the dolls. This one has light blue skin, and takers off where the feet should be, to a small crochet paint cord. He has mess dark blue hair, black a blue dress shirt, and a purple vest on top. END ID]
Percy went through a few designs before I settled on one I liked. I have an incredibly hard time doing short hair, and somewhat wanted to choose a design that would allow that to be a feature rather than a flaw. At the end of the day, I just ended up sort of going for it. I had purposefully made Diggory's hair choppy, so why couldn't I do Percy's the same? He did cut both of their hair at some point.
[ID START: another picture of a doll. This one has white skin, puffy blue hair, a light blue jacket under a sparking blue cape. They have a white shirt with black pants and blue shoes. Their eyes are also blue. END ID]
I adore Olivier so much. Just, I would die for them. I had wanted to make them using a mid tone between the two tones you've seen me use throughout this post, but my dog decided that that yarn was his actually (aka he tore it up and had it all over the house.) Living in the woods, while also being blind and thus unable to drive, does sadly mean that I couldn't just go to my local craft store and pick some up; the show still had to go on. I wanted to link them with Friday by using the same yarn for her dress in their cape. I quite like how this one turned out.
[ID START: another picture of a crochet doll. This one has pale skin, black pants, a brown wing like cape, and a red shirt. They have a moth tattoo on their face, have red eyes and pale blonde hair. END ID]
Sadly, Moth is the first, and only time I've ever interacted with a character/ person who uses neopronouns. I'm still trying to get around how they work, and Hello From the Hallowoods is currently my only point of reference to that. I've always imagined Moth having albinism. I don't know why, but I didn't question it when designing the doll. I also went back and forth a lot about giving moth, moth's tattoo, and where it would go. I know its on moth's neck in the show, but the necks on these dolls are frankly way to small to attempt doing that.
[ID START: an image of a dark skinned crochet doll. She had black hair with flecks of red, orange and yellow throughout. She has matching dog ears and a matching tail. Her hair is pulled back into a messy braid. She wears a white tank top with khaki pants and black shoes. END ID]
Please know that I watched an entire 2 hour documentary about Oscar Wilde, and Spirited away, while rooting her hair, yet I still had time to catch up on a few other podcasts as well. She has so much hair. I may or may not have been crying, and my fingers hurt so bad. I probably should have decided to just give her black hair and save myself the pain, but I refuse to make anything easy for myself. I do not regret anything however, because I love how she turned out.
[ID START: another picture of a white, crochet doll. He has long, red and orange hair, that is curled, and is worn in a bony tail. He has red eyes and horns to match. He wears a silver suit, with pink pants and matching silver shoes, END ID]
I was originally going to make Polly before Yaretzi, but someone, who knows who they are, made that difficult. I'm trying to make these dolls as close to the cannon discriptions as I can, so I had to wait out the incident too make sure Polly was OK before making the doll. He was going to be much more pink than he is now, but midway through I decided actually I hated it, and started over in a very me fashion.
You may notice a lack of Mort. I did want to add him to this phase, but I haven't figured out how I wanted to actually go about writing a pattern for him. I adore that hunk of metal so, so much, but I already write my own patterns, and don't really know where to start with him. In all likeliness, he'll make up the final phase of this project. I also didn't post Dogsmell because I hated how he turned out; although he is still on my blog, and will be re-making him at some point.
Because I am going off to college here soon, and do not know what to expect, I have decided to take a break from this project before beginning the second phase. I want to work on other projects in the time being. Once I'm settled in I shall continue on with phase two!
For those wondering, phase two will include these characters in no particular order:
Lady Ethol Malory
Jonah Duckworth
Hector Mendoza
Burn Keene
Violet Keene
Zelda Duckworth
Al
The Omen
Winnona Rider
I was gonna put Polly in a pink suit, but now that I think about it I’m questioning that move. Of course it would be when I’ve finished a good portion of him
To the 2021 graduate who made long furby into fine art, thank you.

I just know you’re some tumblr kid who bullshitted a meaning behind this an excuse to make a long furby for your senior project… and I love you

Crocheting Yaretzi was…. A time. I originally was going to do Polly first but we all know what happened there.
Her ears were a pain to do, partially because I can’t crochet triangles for my life, much less make them even. I would have rooted hair to her ears, but I was afraid that they would lose their shape if I did that.
I’m quite happy with how she turned out all told.
