clicking Mark’s new video and him ending it with “I can finally escape the blood ocean and curl up into Ryan Gosling’s arms” made me put my head into my hands.

It makes me feel like this

FUCK it’s even worse, Mark said HE will get out of the Blood Ocean and curl up in Ryan’s arms, I cannot—

and on christmas eve, 2024, my abominable child has completed their formation <3 tomorrow they will be received into their new home, and be granted their name, upon the ceremonial passing of hands (they're a christmas gift for my niece!)

details/construction info for anyone curious!

I crocheted the body with brushed, weight 4 yarn. basically just a big tube made of single crochets, with the two ends being tapered. the dark pink section was done with single crochets in back loops only to create a slightly different texture :) the body is completely plush (no spine), with the exception of the face, and therefore posable for wrapping, tangling, etc.

the face was hand-sculpted using oven-bake clay. I drew a template on parchment paper with a thin sharpie, sculpted a base shape using that, and when I flipped it over, the lines from the template were visible, so I was able to sculpt on top of the base using that as a reference.

the eyes/eyelids were made separately. they were sculpted to shape, then pressed around googly eyes and lightly into the eye sockets to ensure a decent fit. the eyes were then removed and disassembled, and the clay portion baked separate.

once baked, all the pieces for the face were all painted pink. I also painted some white cotton thread and some cotton cordage, which would be both used to adhere the faceplate to the body.

the faceplate has a number of holes around it, as well as four holes resembling those of a button behind the eyes. all of those were sewn through, using a mix of hand stitching, hand treading, and an itty bitty crochet hook for a couple, using that cordage and thread mentioned in the last bullet.

once the faceplate was attached, I used super glue to attach the eyelids to the googly eyes, and then the eyes to the faceplate.

bonus in-progress photo from after sewing, but before adhering the eyes, to better see everything
