Witches And Demons Dancing In A Circle (1720)

So I have some potentially big news, at least in my world: After over a year of desperately longing for something I thought impossible, I am now on the waiting list for a ticket to the Discworld Convention!!!!!*

This happened about this time yesterday, and I still haven’t fully absorbed this information. I have yet to think one complete coherent thought, because my thoughts keep being interrupted by new ones. Last night I was too excited to sleep, and, as you might expect, the lack of sleep isn’t helping matters. And while I’m thrilled by this, I’m also kind of in a state of “oh no, there’s so much to figure out and do and so little time!”, including several sewing projects, especially my scaled up to adult size reproduction of an 18th century pocket in the collections of the V&A, because if I’m going to Birmingham for the convention, I’ll have to go to the V&A.** I’m afraid of getting my hopes up, but 🤞.

Rattle your drawers for me!

*Yes, five exclamation points is a sure sign of an insane mind, but in my defense, reread the part before the five exclamation points. **This project has reached a surprising and ungodly extent of procrastination.

POTG from UTAU

"The boy who beat SAW [another Korean UTAU character] in the international arcade survival game of 12 leaders and proudly won the championship. He gained popularity by winning and is delighted to become a singer who was his original dream. He is loved for his PERPECT shooting skills, quickness of wit, and anomalous play. SAW, who has topped the list in a row, seems to be paying attention to POTG with hatred and resentment. His name is pronounced like patch or potch."

Do you like this character design?
