Personal Post: Crochet

Here are some things I have crocheted recently. I do a little bit of everything but haven’t tried mosaic or true corner to corner crochet. I’ve done amigurumi, hats, blankets, a pine apple shaped purse, a shark shaped bag, chap stick holder, small trinket bowl, a granny hexi cardigan for my toddler, - basically whatever I think is neat or cute to make. = )

I have done moss stitch corner to corner for a scarf and that turned out pretty well.

Last year I made christmas tree shaped ornaments out of granny squares with white yarn that had silver threaded in it. I gave those away to our extended family in leu of a christmas card.

I plan to make little wreath ornaments out of red or green yarn with white and give those away too.

(I don’t know how to format these pics on my ipad! Or add the text under them 😬)

The first one is a scarf I made for myself. I usually don’t make things for myself. I liked the colors and texture of the yarn and wanted to keep it.

The second one is a shell stitch baby blanket made in the round. I made one in a different color way for a niece. I liked the purple so I made that one for me.

The third one is a brick stitch blanket from yarnspirations. I’m making this one for my son in his favorite colors. It’s going to be a big enough blanket to cover most of his bed. Maybe between standard and queen size.

The last one is a shawl from Hooked by Robin. Eyelet shawl. I usually don’t have a plan in mind when I buy yarn and really liked these colors and it sat in my closet for over a year! But when I saw the pattern for the shawl I knew which yarn I was going to use. = )

Happy Crafting!

[le-panda-chocovore]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "le-panda-chocovore "?

Oh I think I can actually answer that without rambling too much !! (<- took an entire week to answer the ask and select the fics, and I commented on each one of them lol) It won't be a Top in order of preference tho, there's no actual classment, it's just the ones I loved the most.

The Way I Behaved - EraserMic (MHA)

This fanfic gave me the inspiration to write my greatest work (still unfinished to this day) and literally changed so many things about me. It also made me discover a whole genre of music that I've never listened to before and with which I am entirely in love now. Prepare to cry tho, because this is deeply heartbreaking. It's a Villain Mic AU where Aizawa was never a teacher. And it is good.

What if Percy did become a God - Percy Jackson and the Olympians (based on the books !!! do not read if you just watched the show !!!)

The title says everything. This is not a happy story, you will cry, I promise. It's short, like a 1k word OS, it's really poetic, it's deep, it's beautiful, and also, it's painful. Humans were never meant to be gods, not even Percy. It's written like a poem, I read it so many times and it hurt me every time.

Demon and Angel Professors - Ineffable Spouses (Good Omens)

Not a fanfiction but a serie of short works about Crowley and Aziraphale and the people around them. A teachers AU very nice to read with many Original Characters (the students) who are all captivating and appreciable. The story is extremely queer-positive and neurodivergent inclusive and physical handicap representative, honestly, you want to read it. There's everything inside it. If you have chronic pain or if you're a closeted queer or even a curious ally who wants to understand their peers, this is what you need. The love is so pure it's overwhelming.

Honor and Vengeance on the High Sea - Zuko (ATLA)

Tbh this deserves to be published, it's a novel itself (I haven't finished it yet). The author reappropriated the Avatar universe to write something completely new. It's an AU where Zuko becomes a Pirate after his banishment and fights against the Fire Nation Navy, and eventually joins the Avatar's team. There's a whole work around internalized homophobia, the discovery of the self, acceptance, injustice, family trauma and everything. Original Characters are cool too. Chapters are long and very, very complete, you can see the author has historical and cultural knowledge.

Strength, the meaning of - Asano Gakuhou (Assassination Classroom)

I can't believe a fanfic about this total asshole made it to my top 10, but it is beautifully written. The progressive mental breakdown of a man who used to stand proud above everyone, the slow fall down to hell without even realizing it. There's also his son's POV here, which is equally beautifully written. I really hate the man and I don't like the fact that the end of AssClass completely disregard the consequences of what happened on the character's mental state, and reading how even him wasn't okay at all is very pleasant to read. That's karma my bitch.

Je suis assis - BokuAka (Haikyuu)

Yeah it's in french and on wattpad. It has been a while since I read it but I still remember the principal. It's a OS anyway so it's not very long (we didn't do that 20k words OS on Wattpad, this madness is only popular on AO3 lol). Since I'm sensitive to everything that is around handicap, it touched me. It ended up being cute and warm. Honestly I was more thinking of another BokuAka fanfiction but I couldn't remember the name nor found it online so I put this one.

25 - Riren (SnK)

Yeah yeah I know, pedo ship etc, but I was 14 and this is a High School AU where they're both 16 so, it's okay I guess. Yes the name of the fanfic is twenty-five. It's in french, it's on wattpad, and there's Eren's POV too. I don't know how I'm supposed to describe it... I think you have to read it, it's not actually strange or weird but, it's a whole experience.

Here there be dragons - Centennial Husbands (the Sandman)

This is the exact definition of love. What is love to me ? This fanfiction. Engagement, devotion, caring, this is it, this fanfic has the meaning of all these words. I had a hard time reading it because I hate ultra-long OS (I need CHAPTERS, give me a BREAK) but it was soooo enjoyable, and I was crying the whole time 'cause it's so pure and beautiful.

Palm to Palm - KaRen (Assassination Classroom)

Yes I am a part of the extremely tiny fandom that ships Karma and Ren (I do ship Karma with multiple people throughout the manga lmao) but only in THIS specific context. And this is beautifully written, I can't stop re-reading it. Also, the name of the ship makes me laugh. Karma and Ren relationship after losing Gakushuu -the boy they both love above everything else- is peak romance.

Le goût du chocolat - L x Light (Death Note)

I honestly don't remember a thing about this fanfiction except a single sentence, but I do know that I totally fell in love with it. It was one of my fave fanfic when I was full active on Wattpad, and I even archived it because I didn't want to lose it. I should read it again now that I found it again.

Alright that's 10 !!! Finally !!

Oh it was so fun to fall back into all the things I read before ! But it was harder than I expected because, well, I only have AO3 for 3 years and I've been on Wattpad for 7 years, but I started reading fanfiction even before that, I just didn't have any account back then. So, I kinda forgot about some of the things I read more than 4 years ago, and I couldn't find the gems I discovered when I was 12. Most of the books that made out to this list are my recent lectures, it's a bit biased I guess.

Anyway, thank you for the ask ! It was fun to analyze all my bookmarks and everything !

This is Joey (Joseph when he’s in trouble).

But he’s too cute to get in trouble.

I want to cry. Joey is so fucking cute. ❤️😭❤️ My heart is seriously so full with all the pet love. Love and thanks to you and Joey (and Joseph when he's in trouble. Hehe). ❤️❤️❤️

I just want to mention what the fuck happened last night since none of us were really active last night:

-All of us got a discord. -Made a group chat named “The Disaster Gays” talked a whole bunch on there (12 AM - 3 AM EST) -Everyone started helping me make a TF OC -We spent a half hour trying to figure out how old bots were during G1-G2 -Spent another half hour figuring out heights -We managed to get me to figure everything out except the personality -People started to head off to bed -I sent Dragonfly pictures of Pharma and Tarma -Dragonfly and I shared personal shit until 4:20 AM (EST)

That’s what happened last night.

Update: Feelings

So I feel like I should say something about my long ass chapters and the story I’ve been posting almost daily for the past couple of weeks.

I don’t like reading fics that are under 1000 words per chapter. It actually makes me feel weird. I’m not sure why. Probably because I’m a Math person in an English major’s world  in this sense. 

This story is also strange in the fact that I’m writing about a general reader who is like my opposite. They know nothing about volleyball (I used to be a high ranking-type player), they are a reporter for their school newspaper (I literally only took ap english in high school to avoid taking a writing class in college--p.s. it didn’t help), and they aren’t nearly as sassy as I would be in many of the scenarios I put them in. However, I digress.

I write these really long chapters because that’s what I would look for. They are all connected, because again...it’s what I’d want. But for the past three days, when I scroll through my feed and I see these people posting about not wanting to share a 2000 word fic all at once, or asking their audience if they should make them connected or disconnected story lines because of how long it can become. And it just has me questioning if what I’m doing with my Haikyuu story is okay.

Like I have quite a few people who read it between here and ao3, but its still something that has been bothering me and these newer chapters have not come as easily as prior ones because of these feelings. I’m hoping that by getting this off my chest, it’ll clear up. Sorry for ruining your dash-board with this. It’s really not too bad. To those that have read the story and have enjoyed it, I’m so, so, so glad. And, I really hope that you keep doing so.

This is my cat Bucky named after the one and only. 😏 she’s a girl cat with a boy name, but I don’t think she minds.

They're the same picture! Ahh! Thank you, lovely, for sending me this. Bucky the cat looks like a badass goddess and I adore it. And is that a charm on her collar? I love it. 💙

Thank you for sending this. Love and good vibes your way. And to Bucky! 💙💙💙
