Hello! My name is Plastic, my pronouns are they/he, and I’m a queer poc.
I mostly write fanfiction on ao3, which you can find here.
You can also find links to my stuff here: Transformers Fic Masterpost, or with the #my fics tag!
More info about my interests and what you might see on this blog below!
Fandoms I like/what you’ll see me reblog most often:
• Transformers
- this is my current biggest hyperfixation (as of when I’m writing this anyways)! Transformers One, Transformers Prime, and the Skybound comics are my favorites
• Star Wars
- SW is another longtime interest of mine. I generally don’t reblog about it as much, but I do love it intensely. If you do see me reblogging it’s probably Din Djarin, General Grievous, Cad Bane, or TBB
• Red Dead Redemption
- Mostly focused on RDR2! This is another one that I don’t talk about much nor reblog much but is still very dear to me.
• WolfQuest
- uh yeah when I was like 8 I discovered the 1995 Yellowstone wolf reintroduction and decided that I was going to learn everything I could about wolves and here we are…I consider myself a WQ OG and loved this game as a kid, and still love WQ: AE now.
• Stardew Valley
- I honestly don’t remember the last time I reblogged anything Stardew but I do still love them. Personally a very big Sambastian enjoyer
Deltarune/Undertale
- I used to be SUPER into Undertale and eventually drifted away. I really love playing Deltarune and will probably reblog stuff surrounding around the same time a new chapter drops, otherwise I don’t interact with the fandom much anymore.
I’ve had a lot more interests that have come and gone, or aren’t intense enough that I felt mentioning them here, so don’t be surprised if you see me reblogging shit I haven’t reblogged before.
Tagging info:
#my fics - self explanatory
#plasticbag3207 - my posts or posts I want to easily find again
#giggling rn - shit I find funny
#fav - a post/art that I really like
#art I like - art that I really like but isn’t necessarily associated with a fandom
Overall, I tend to tag posts that I reblog with the fandom they are associated with and then subsequently the continuity the art is associated with. I generally do not tag by character names or ship names.
So!! For the past couple of months, I have been working on a plushie of Assok, from @modmad's wonderful webcomic The Property of Hate :D
I hadn't used felt to make a plush since I was a kid, and this project took a lot of work, time and efforts, but I'm extremely proud of how it turned out. Very much a labour of love :'>
Special shout-out to @sharoo, who crocheted the little Assok sock on the trunk for me!
I started it around mid-April and we're almost mid-July, so this project took just about three months to complete– although most of the last one was spent waiting for the little crochet Assok to arrive, augh. The package spent 25 days in transit why.
The pattern was made by Voynart on etsy, though I altered it quite a bit to make it resemble Assok more.
Process and WIP pictures below the cut!
After modifying the pattern I had bought I made two rounds of testing (one with just the paper pieces and another out of cheap felt) to check if it all fit together okay! This took two weeks iirc? I only had a limited amount of wool felt and I wanted to make the plushie as big as possible, so I didn't have a lot of room for errors once I got going
The head! (plus one of the paws, I was testing appliqué stitches)
I made it first, because it was the most important part and I wanted to make sure I got it right
The body! I made all the paws different because they're not always the same colour in the webcomic (check pages 619, 620 and 637, for example!); likewise, I didn't use exactly the same thread colour on both sides of the body. I really enjoyed the fact that you can embrace visible stitches when working with felt, it's not something I did with my previous plushies :>
Fun fact: as I was sewing on the dark purple pieces on Assokaphant’s front legs, I had to use pliers to force the needle through both pieces of felt plus stuffing, and I managed to break the needle fdshgfds
BUT THEN I ran into A Problem: sock too big for they trunk. Of course I could've put it in the washing machine until it shrank, but, you know, I was afraid it would take a while...
THANKFULLY Sharoo came to my rescue and made a perfectly-sized Assok for me!! It's adorable aaa I'm so glad. Couldn't have done it myself, truly the cherry on top
I don't want AI. I don't want meaningless wars. I don't want fast fashion. I want old growth forests. I want glaciers. I want coral reefs. I want clean water and air. I want bees. I want animals to be protected and not endangered. I want a thriving wildlife population. I want A FUTURE for the following generations.
