not-so-fearful-fears

a humble artist full of little, maybe-relatable fears 🥲

[teaandcrackersandcrochet]

I fear that living with a performatively self-righteous person (trust me, about literally any subject you get them yapping about) has made it so I cant deal with people commenting on how they "just cant believe people can do a bad thing like [animal abuse]"

Because honestly.

We shouldn't be focusing on why bad people do bad things. We should be focusing on being good people doing good things.

The motivation behind the bad act doesn't matter, they're already a bad person for having done it. What matters is that we work to prevent, mitigate, and heal from bad acts.

Its just so frustrating.

I fear that pricing crochet wearables is yet another new form of hell.

Paying yourself a decent wage, even without considering the materials you paid for, makes wearables incredibly expensive.

As someone who wants to spend their summer selling crochet work, and preferably crochet wearables (because its difficult to sell amigurumi outside of Christmas time), I' struggling to find things I'd like to sell and a way to price them that won't be egregiously expensive for my possible customer base without selling myself and my time short.

But I digress. I fear this is the reality we find ourselves in, day in and day out, in very possibly any profession.

I fear I have not stopped thinking about the oubliette scen in Labyrinth.

When Sarah asks Hoggle if he knows what an oubliette is, and he does, it makes me think.

What if he was in a situation like Toby. His older sibling wished him away, and gave up in the Labyrinth. I like to Imagine Hoggle as once being a young human child who eventually turned into a dwarf.

But when I hear "Yes. It's a place you put people to Forget About Them" it actually hurts because I imagine it flipping to a frame of young, human Hoggle, sitting in that same oubliette. Waiting for Jareth to need him for something again.

(Here's a sort-of-okay-ish sketch of it, I'm still working on drawing better)

Maybe thats why he calls himself a coward, too, because he grew up hearing it from his human family and/or Jareth.

I fear I've been totally fixated on watching Labyrinth for the last 3 days (the end is nowhere in sight) but if you know Labyrinth and you know Lego Elves.

Swap Jareth and Sarah out for Cronan and Emily. (And ofc Toby with Sophie)

😭 I fear the plot is so similar what the hell

No no, same script. Cronan says 100% of everything Jareth does. And no, Jareth and Sarah are not out into Lego Elves. They are just replaced temporarily

I fear I missed national frog day 🐸🥲

But happy frog day (belated) (it was yesterday) (I found out at like 11pm)

[teaandcrackersandcrochet]

I fear Im getting back into my Clone Wars era and I desperately need access to my childhood 😭

William Blake ahh

This poem is hella cool in a choir arrangement by Sherri Porterfield, btw

[teaandcrackersandcrochet]

I fear that try my hardest just isnt good enough anymore.

[teaandcrackersandcrochet]

I fear that my best effort lost its muchness, and now its just. Average effort. And thats why it isnt enough anymore. It just doesnt have as much muchness behind it as it did 2+ years ago.

I fear that try my hardest just isnt good enough anymore.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

big fan of how many human holidays involve 1) food and 2) lighting stuff on fire. proven formula

[teaandcrackersandcrochet]

Tbf its hella fun to light things on fire and eat. Smores. By this logic, campouts = holidays

And with campouts you can technically chase people around with a flaming stick. So. Just sayin.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i love that salt and pepper come in a set. here is salt, a building block of humanity, one of the basic human tastes, essential to life on earth, absolutely fundamental.

and here's pepper. it's fine.

#at one point they were a throuple #and we don’t know who their third was #it haunts me #i NEED to know

[teaandcrackersandcrochet]

No no no, you see, the third is garlic powder. SPG my guy. Salt, pepper, Garlic Powder. They may not come together anymore but GP'll always show up to the party.

And that party is. Literally any meat you cook. ...except maybe ground turkey. It goes less well with ground turkey.

[teaandcrackersandcrochet]

I fear that there are some downsides to not having much autonomy or control of your situation.

[teaandcrackersandcrochet]

Noises are very noisy.

[teaandcrackersandcrochet]

I fear I will need to one day live in a Yellow Submarine-esque home one day. A few+ friends and we all have like one or two rooms in a preferably huge house and maybe we all be able to sing or play instruments so we can be a silly lil performing ensemble and maybe we all wear goofy or pretty matching outfits
