*throws tiny crocheted nug sploot at you*

Freehanded with acrylic yarn and stuffed with polyfil. Smol. One inch (2.5cm) tall if you don't count the ears, and four inches (10cm) long.

After several attempts to recreate it while taking vigorous notes, I've finished writing up the pattern for my tiny nug sploot amigurumi! So as long as beta testing goes well, I hope to be able to release it (for free, with the option to tip me on ko-fi) for next week's #DAFanFriday on bsky, and will of course post it here as well 🖤 Just throwing that out there in case people are interested. Kinda nervous about it since it's the first pattern I've ever written, but I'm excited about it, too, and the excitement's winning right now.

Tiny Nug Sploot Crochet Pattern - InkyInGreen's Ko-fi Shop

A digital (PDF) crochet pattern, with instructions and pictures to help you make your very own tiny nug amigurumi. This is not a physical pr

Adding the pattern here too since people are still tossing the original post around <3 Same text as on the standalone pattern post:

Tiny nug sploot ami pattern, as promised 🖤 Free digital pattern available to download on my ko-fi (tips very much appreciated, but not required).

This is my very first published pattern—please be nice about it. I normally freehand all my designs, so I put a lot of work into writing this up for the fandom I love.

And thank you again to my beta testers/readers! 🖤 This would have been a mess without your help.

This… WAS going to be one of the requests I got in my inbox, but I kind of went crazy with it.  Anyway~ I had fun with this and it is now available for purchase in my store.  Woohoo!

The Empress: Mythal, Mother of All

Mythal was the first to prove that power need not be enforced by fear. But once that point was made, she was quite happy to flex her claws.

Combining Morrigan (purple), Flemeth (maroon), and Elvhenan (gold, lyrium) in colors

Patterns evoking Elvhenan in its mosaics and frescoes, and the Andrastian Chantry in the train (because the Temple of Sacred Ashes is built over one of Mythal's temples)

Mythal wears her achievements openly, with the "eyes" on her belt inspired by the true form of spirits as well as the "flowers" she holds in her mosaic; the design on her belt's tassel, brooch, and overskirt, are the Titan heart fresco motifs, representing her dominion over the pillars of the earth

And of course, she’s not wearing vallaslin - she’s wearing war paint. after defeating the titans and building an empire, the war paint she and her family wore to protect the People became the basis of the vallaslin slave brands used to keep the People in line.

I thought I'd revisit my telenovela matriarch Mythal, but I decided I actually really like it and there wasn't much I wanted to change. I especially like how Andruil's #UnderArmor compression sleeve thingies kind of make it look like she's trying to emulate her mother's draconic, clawed hands.

begging people to put their nsfw fanart on ao3 instead of just twitter and bluesky where people in certain regions have to verify their age using government id to be able to see it because while EYE will not be doing that some people probably WILL which is not a good thing

[sunsetbuddie]

highlighting these really great tags by @frightfullytreeish because i did not know about squidge!

also as many have pointed out please don't use imgur as it is blocked in some places
