So knitting is sort of a hobby of mine. It's one I've had for a while and tried to get my mother into because;
it's good for the brain
gives you an outlet for feelings and energy if you're not able to physically do stuff
and you also get to make a thing!
She tried but didn't last very long even with a loom to make it less intensive for her. She did manage to knit a single square for a blanket before her interest faded from a low ebb to nothing.
Fast-forward a year or two to now and my middle brother is having a baby. His partner is, actually. A little girl, due in less than 3 weeks and I can't wait!! 😁 [grin emoji]
Neither can my mother.
In preparation for my new niece, I've been knitting a baby blanket in a nice chunky wool that looks pretty good imho. I even have a seed stitch border which I'd never done before and it's not a disaster 😅 [laughing emoji with a sweat drop]
I've also gone hunting for patterns for booties, mittens, cardigans, etc. And, because I wanted to share my joy and delight over making these things for my niece, I recklesslyshowed them to my mother.
Who is now going Feral over them.
She's demanded needles, wool, and patterns like she's going to perish if she doesn't get them and I now get to share my hobby, my surprise interest, with my mother who is really motivated to knit adorable rainbow baby booties for her granddaughter to be!
And I'm very happy about this.
Sharing what we enjoy, what we love, with others whom we care for, is a wonderful experience that I cannot overstate the joy it brings.
If you have a special interest, a hobby, something you do that brings you joy... share it with someone who you think might be interested.
It's a wonderful thing to do when someone else joins you in your joy, especially when you get to create something together.
Gods help my knitting supplies though, my wool is going to disappear into blankets and booties like there's no tomorrow 😂 [crying laughing emoji]
tumblr is like weirdly quiet lately or is it just me?
No, it's not just you. I was just wondering today what was going on. I thought maybe I was smelly or said something that offended people cause I lost like 3 followers too. But no, definitely not just you.
As someone who is working on planning a big Wilbur-centric au fanfic, your work on his wiki page has been an invaluable resource, and I thank you for your service. o7
Glad to be of assistance. o7
Can’t wait to see the AU!! Tag me in it if you post it? :D
Despite what a tumultuous year 2017 has been across the board, I just wanted to put this out there that I’m enormously grateful to you guys. For sticking around, for hanging in there when the going got tough for you (or those around you), for all the times you spoke up, for every equal right you fought for.
Y’guys are such incredible, great people and I feel incredibly lucky to be followed by you all.
I think I’ve grown a lot over this year (and intend to keep growing ahaha), and the support you’ve shown me is more than I could ever hope for.
I’d really like to go forward more with OC work in 2018 (don’t worry, fanart is still very much on the table), and the reception I’ve had for Diego and Allen is just..wow?? You guys ;__; I appreciate every comment, every tag and Ask you leave. I know I don’t get to a lot of them, I’m sorry for that - But I do read them, and your kindnesses go a long way
You guys wanting to support me and my work means the world, and I’m definitely working on getting things set up so there’s options if you do want to support what I do! Whether it’s buying my work, or commission, potentially a twitch sub/patreon pledge, or even a one-off ko-fi. Any of those things are amazing, and I appreciate it so much.
But that aside: thank you guys for interacting with my lil corner of art on my social medias. For enjoying what I do, for talking to me, wanting to know more about my OCs, for liking my AUs. I’m stoked to share more with you in the coming year, and to keep trekking down this winding road leading-to-anywhere that is Art <3
Have a safe, happy holidays and I hope the new year treats you all well <3
It has been way, way to long since I got into my inbox. Thanks for your patience and after a couple quick announcements, I’ll get to as many as I can!
-Shuto Con- I will have my art booth at Shuto Con again this year! (March 17th - 19th, 2017) I’ve been assigned space #54 in the artist alley! I’ll have lots of art prints, bookmarks, art books, some original sketches, and i should have more prints of AToTR v1 from the printer by then as well.
-Health- Thanks so much to all of you that wrote and wished me well after I mentioned I was having health troubles. It meant a lot and I really appreciated it. Here’s how that’s going: After a quick exam about a week ago, the neurologist SAID I’M PROBABLY OK!!! :D I had some blood tests and an MRI yesterday, so after the results are in on those, I can know for certain!
(For those wondering, my eyes suddenly did a “David Bowie impression” and then kept doing it randomly for the past few months, along with other concerning stuff like numb spots on my legs and random hand weakness. I will be sure to mention how this turns out in a later update! lol, for now I’m just super glad to have the neurologist’s assurance that I’m probably not about to drop dead!)
And now for the questions!
I love this idea. I hadn’t thought of it going in that direction, but now I’m totally gonna daydream about it!
I had previously thought that Ghirahim would be the one to go out on a quest to find the young reincarnation of Ganondorf and help him grow up strong and powerful. He would help Ganondorf recall who he is and how to better harness the energy from his piece of the triforce. Maybe even help teach him combat again. (Even cooler if they were techniques that Ganondorf invented himself, but had forgotten between lives.) The bond between these two is so beautiful. TwT
OMG i would LOVE that! Just be aware that tumblr has been taking down all nsfw Ganondorf images (maybe other loz stuff too, but i only notice the Ganondorf ones). They may take down your picture just as they took down mine. I would recommend treading on the more sfw side if you want it to stay up! (and I very much would want it to) XD
Sadly I have no idea who he is! Link’s face is based off of some nice lookin’ fella i saw dressed up as Link at GenCon a few years ago. I didn’t even think to take a photo and I regret it all the time.
A lot of people mentioned that they were disappointed! (and honestly I am too) but with tumblr taking down all nsfw content (and even deleting an entire nsfw art blog that a friend of mine had), it made me back off from it. T-T I’m sorry, everyone!
Oh that would be super sweet. Right now I’m thinking she may meet a descendant of Princess Ruto at some royal ball and get hit upside the brain with a sudden terrible crush on her. (Then comes awkward Rinku, inwardly screaming “OMG WHAT DO I DO. I LIKE THIS GIRL. DOES SHE LIKE ME BACK??? HOW CAN I EVEN TELL??? IS MY BREATH OK??? DID I SERIOUSLY PUT MY SHIRT ON BACKWARDS THIS MORNING??? AUGHHH” the entire day that the zora princess is around. )
I’m 29! :D And I’ll be 30 on February 13th! Dun-Dun-Dunnnnnnnn.
omg how did I NOT THINK TO DO THAT!!!!?!?!
*tries to hold back my giggles of SHAME*
but really, Ganondorf broke the previous bed just by sitting on it, so there’s a plausible excuse of innocence there.
(But then again, this is a married couple that likes each other and are both happy and willing participants in this ‘sexy times’ activity so i’m not quite sure why i feel so embarrassed at the idea that they broke the bed during their enthusiastic ‘activities’. So you know what? YES. YES THEY BROKE THE BED DURING THE FRICKFRACK. HUZZAH!) XD
Oh dear, heck yeah Impa is queasy. Probably one of the most difficult evenings they’ve had to deal with in quite some time. It’s bad enough to hear that kinda thing through the wall in general, but under THESE circumstances, that’s gotta be really painful. After all, they still think that Ganondorf could kill Zelda on a whim at any moment.
PFFFTTT XD LOL
Ghirahim, “I swear to GOD if ONE MORE PERSON comments on how good i look in this stupid Link illusion, I’M BURNING DOWN ALL OF HYRULE.” *cries on the inside*
Yep! In loz canon Vaati is actually a cute little creature called a minish! He just uses magic to look different! https://zeldawiki.org/Minish
Probably! But if so it will be much much later in the comic.
OMG YES.
XD Oh yeah. She’s going to have a difficult time, that’s for sure at least. But I think the most interesting thing will be the reactions of the rest of the family as these troubles go on.
I think so, but that would also be much later in the story. Would be amazing to draw though.
Well, this is really a matter of taste. I usually go with a word like “wolf” over “wolfos” because it sounds better in my head. It makes what you’re creating a little easier to enjoy for people who may not be as familiar with the game lore as well. Best of luck on your fic! :D
My mortal enemy has been doing quite well since my attempts to capture and re-locate him failed miserably a few summers ago...
SO WELL in fact that last summer I saw 4 baby gophers out there with him... as he taught them his wicked ways of lawn destruction RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. So even though I will out live KHAAAAAAN, his evil assault against my poor yard will live on through his descendants. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
XD COULD happen! (omg, I really enjoy people guessing what’s gonna happen next. If anyone wants to put out their ideas, I always love to hear them. It’s like looking in a parallel universe of the story!)
XD LOL! Not to worry. I understand the feeling! But hey! If you ever feel like going for it anyway, you can just do what I do with my shameful romance novels and wrap the cover in scrap-booking paper! As far as anyone around me knows, I could be readin’ a bible.
