"Are we really sure that this "Princess of Destiny" is the Princess of the castle ? Couldn't it be someone else ? The Great Deku Tree didn't give us a lot of hints as to her actual identity." He tried not to think too hard about his father's last words. He couldn't break down crying like he had yesterday, not again. Not yet. Once his mission was over, he would grieve. Until then, he had a job to do. "I do believe that the Princess of Destiny is the Princess of Hyrule. I have been told that, because of their divine blood, a number of Princesses through the centuries had powers over time, or were even able to glimpse into the future. The title "Princess of Destiny" would then be fitting." "Then can't we just go to the castle and ask to meet her ? Why do we need help and favours to reach her ?" "The Princess could not possibly entertain everyone in the Kingdom who might want to meet her, so you would need a good reason, or to be someone important, to just go and meet her like this." "Our reason is important !" "It is, but I doubt the guards will believe us if we tell them why we want to see her. Few people are sensitive enough to feel the shift in magical energy that has given you those nightmares and alerted the Great Deku Tree, and since the Kokiri Forest is so secluded and no one ever goes in or out, no one in the city or the castle could possibly know who the Great Deku Tree was, much less what happened to him. Which means that next to no one will believe us until we meet the Princess, hence why we need... alternate methods to secure a meeting with her."

I want to own a house and have a garden in the back and a fruit tree in front and I want to tell the neighborhood kids that they can come pick the fruits when they want as long as they leave some for others, and I want to host dinners for friends and make too much food and make everyone go home with some leftovers, and I want to grow vegetables in my garden and beg my neighbors to take all this zucchini off my hands or I'll have to eat zucchini for every meal for the next few months, and I want to give and feed and love but I need more goddamn money first

*through gritted teeth* the world is GOOD. people are kind. Humans are NOT inheritly selfish. you will make it through this year. recovery is possible. people you don't know yet will love you. You are going to do things you can't even imagine right now. You are going to read a rlly good book. You are going to eat some rlly good food. You are going to experience joy again. Things can get better. Situations can change. You can choose to be kinder. The world can change for the better.

On the one hand, I tend to doubt that will happen. On the other hand, I know the siren song of The Sleepy Tired, so I can't guarantee this won't resonate with a shit load of people

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

pro censorship people are always like “actually I’m living proof that books can be really harmful to kids! when I was a child I read a book that upset me and of course I couldn’t talk to my parents about it because they would throw rocks at me whenever I confessed to reading anything but the Bible, so as you can see, that book was the source of my trauma and warped ideas about right and wrong”

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

Also I’m sorry but I fundamentally cannot agree that “preserving innocence” in the form of ignorance of bad things is a desirable or even attainable goal for child rearing. The Siddhartha approach just isn’t realistic for a human being living in the world, you know? Your kids are going to learn about the cruelties of the world sooner or later. of course a book may be upsetting or disturbing and haunt them. but let’s be real—“read about it in a book” is one of the safest ways to encounter them.

I know I come across as a huge bitch when I say this but I have very low tolerance for people talking about how they were “traumatized” by the contents of a book. Were you? Were you really? Or were you upset and disturbed by the concepts you encountered in a book that your next door neighbor experienced first hand? Cry me a river, but while you were reading a book your classmate was getting beaten or raped at home or tortured in an institution, your neighbor was watching his dad getting tazed by cops or administering narcan to his mother, your playmate from that time at the fair was getting deported to be shot at or starve or imprisoned in a detention center and forced to sleep in her own filth… because these things happen to people! To children exactly like you but for some unlucky stroke of fate! If you didn’t read about it in a book, you’d hear about it somewhere else. On the school bus, maybe, from Natalie telling you about how her dad used to get her drunk and touch her. Or maybe at the grocery store, witnessing an ICE raid or a homeless man get his teeth kicked in. Or maybe walking into a dentist’s office and watching some news anchor explaining how it’s actually fine to drop a bomb on relief workers, or about how many tweens the President may have molested and if we should care, or if that teenager who just got shot for carrying a grocery bag wrong had it coming, or or or or—

Anyway. It sucks to read books that you weren’t psychologically ready for but it’s hardly a moral crisis. I promise I’m empathetic to the distress of children encountering concepts in books that frighten or disturb them but I cannot get behind the idea that preserving the untainted naivety of middle class white children about the things that can do and are happening to their peers is some all-important priority deserving laws about it.

truly from the bottom of my heart i hate the level of enshittification etsy has reached because it's still the best place to buy patterns for my hobby and every time i go scrolling through endless ai-generated bullshit to finally dig up a human-designed pattern i like, i'm hit with a deluge of 'popular!! 563 people are looking at this right now!! it's in 134632 baskets!! you must buy immediately!!!' it's a pdf file. it's a fucking pdf file. do you get off on trying to give people fomo over a fucking pdf file. fuck off. get diarrhea forever.

[vrabia]

and that's not even touching the ai-generated patterns with hundreds of 5-star bot reviews that are stupidly easy to spot if you know what to look for. but most beginners don't know what to look for, so they're straight-up scammed into buying based on a nice picture. then their 'hey, i made this and it looks nothing like advertised' comments get buried under hundreds of 5-star bot reviews, and this is how someone who might have otherwise discovered an interesting and fulfilling hobby drops it, thinking the pattern's fine, everyone else likes it, so it's on them for not being good enough. it pisses me off so much, you have no idea.

[vrabia]

anyway, here's some shops selling amigurumi (crochet soft toys) patterns fully created by crafters. i've either bought and made patterns from them or saved them for later, meaning i already checked that they aren't ai-generated. i might make a post later on how to spot ai-generated amigurumi patterns, but i wanted to give these a shout-out. go buy from them if you can, it's cool stuff and an interesting skill to learn.

straw animals design (etsy store) plushies and accessories, including some knitted patterns. beginner friendly!

green frog crochet (website store). mostly doll patterns, very pretty and totally worth the time and effort. they also sell full kits for some of the patterns, that include all supplies except for crochet hooks and fiberfill. also, youtube channel with tutorials.

moonlight crochet (etsy store). mostly doll patterns, lots of clothes you can adapt to dolls of similar sizes

yan schenkel (website store for individual patterns) has several books out that i really love. it took a bit of digging to figure out if this online store selling the pdf versions is legit and i found that the publisher sells directly through them. there are three pattern books (1, 2, 3) with animal plushies.

natura crochet (website store) has colorful animal and holiday themed patterns, plus two books of aquatic themed patterns. same publisher/seller as above.

hanichan (website store) has a distinct and minimalist style that i think is very beginner friendly. there are also useful general tutorials for amigurumi.

aquariwool crochet (etsy store). a lot of colorful and fun animal patterns. i haven't bought anything from them yet but i have a few saved and honestly just looking through the patterns makes me happy.

make me roar (website store). one of the more unique styles i've seen out there, especially these.

jo handmade design (etsy store). both plushies and more realistic toys, the patterns are very well written and illustrated.

whenever possible i linked to a store outside etsy, but not all pattern creators have one, so it's 100% worth checking them out and supporting them despite the absolute tar pit they operate in. also whatever creative hobby you're curious about, don't let an ai-generated picture discourage you from trying it. you are a god capable of summoning something out of nothing and generative ai is a pathetic little string of mathematical operations with ideas above its station.

I AM GOING TO SCREAM AND SCREAM AND SCREAM to the heavens until everyone knows about the Etsy competitor goimagine!!!

Shop Handmade | Shop Local | Shop with Purpose

The founder of GoImagine refuses to go public or sell the platform: NO SHARE HOLDERS TO APPEASE!!

They have a STRICT vetting process for sellers: NO BOTS, NO AI, NO DROP SHIPPING, HAND MADE CRAFTS ONLY!!

You can narrow down stores you're shopping from by STATE! EASILY SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!!

2% of every sale transaction is donated to charity!!!

This is baked into the platform. Right now they're partnered with four different charities to fight childhood hunger, provide relief childcare for families dealing with domestic violence, end childhood homelessness, and fund art accessablity. HELPING KIDS!!!!

I have a shop there that I will be stocking soon! If you're a creator, their basic ship front is FREE and you get 12 listing slots! The next size up is only $5 a month and you get 200 listings, and the topn you're at $15 gives you 1,000 product listings and a whole ass customizable store front website. That's cheaper than anything else on the market rn.

Current downsides that will not remain downsides: they're only available in the USA but they're planning on expanding into Canada soon. And they've been mostly focused on growing their seller side, so not a lot of buyers know about them yet. But!!! That why I tell everyone I can! Shop with them! List your products with them! Use a platform that has a dedicated mission for community good and is there to support sustainable creator markets, not create endless bloated corporate growth!!!!

And dump Etsy yesterday.
