Here it is: Best stuff first

Extremely handy if you follow a lot of people and hate missing anything good. 

Best Stuff First moves the best stuff on your dashboard—mhm!—right up to the top. 

It’s rolling out this week on iOS and Android, and comes with this Help Center article.  

Thanks! ✌️

I don’t have the option to turn it off yet, but chances are good that my dash is still affected. Chances are good that y'all have been affected. Whatever you do, keep checking your settings tab for the ability to TURN THIS OFF. Because we creators are gonna suffer from this.

There’s a chance that y'all might not have gotten this option yet, but i finally did. For the sake of all creators out there, check your general settings and look for this option. If you have it, TURN IT OFF. Don’t let some algorithm dictate what you see.

[le-wendigogo-reblogs]

Don’t just like this. It needs to be spread so people know. Not only will your feed be out of chronological order, but creators who aren’t hella popular are suffering lack of exposure because of this. This is the one thing i WILL pressure to reblog.

Hilariously, I did not see this new post at the top of my dash until I turned off the dashboard sorting thing.

Skeleton fairies. I was thinking I might sell these if there's any interest.

Olivia the Koala holding a eucalyptus leaf and luckily my phone knew how to autocorrect that. I hand crocheted her and her cousin is Stitch

Baby owl. The eyes were crocheted with yarn I unravelled into 4 strings and a 1.4mm hook. It was kiiind of a nightmare.

Baby seal I made for my little cousin. His hobbies include snow angels, ice skating, and accounting.

Although in my house we call them “those fuzzy black things,” I have just learned that this coal-toting soot spirit from Miyazaki’s Spirited Away is actually called Susuwateri (wandering soot), or Makkuro kurokuke (pitch-black assistant). Look, now I’ve tricked you into learning something! He he he.

This cute little sootball is gathering up those star-shaped sprinkles just like in the movie. Aww, look at the magically conjured creature hoard all the candy. Adorable.

And let me tell you, he was a tedious little sucker to make. You’d probably thing, hey, a fluffy black ball, how hard could that be? I got my answer. But now he is so soft and fuzzy you just want to rub his all over your face. Plus poseable arms too!

In honor of Ace Awareness Day, I crocheted an ace colored mermaid. I even webbed her hands and gave her a bronze arm bracelet.

Rainbow Dragontaur. Half human, half dragon, all magic. 

She has an intricate rainbow design painstakingly sewed into her face by hand. It was given to her by her mother, a sign that she had achieved her rite of passage, and could now fly the skies alone. Freedom is hers.

Dean Wincheter. Bad ass. Demon slayer. Cool dude.

Dracula Amigurumi

The feared Count Dracula here to haunt your house in the cutest way imaginable.

La Llorona (or Weeping Woman) Amigurumi

Making this special Halloween-themed doll was so much fun. This is the ghost of La Llorona, the weeping woman in white. You can see her ghostly tail weaving behind and around her.

Her hair and dress is also ratted and frayed because of her long journeys down long lone stretches of road as she cries out into the void out of desperation and revenge.

Bumblebee Fairy in a Jar!

My first fairy turned out really cute. I think her dress has a latin-inspired look to it, probably because of the long drooping sleeves. She also has delicate silver hoop earrings dangling from her pointed ears.

Baby Woolly Mammoth crochet amigurumi!

This baby woolly mammoth was made with brown fun fur, and let me tell you, that stuff is the DEVIL. Literally the devil's mistress. It is hard to work with and nearly impossible to unravel. But for this project it was worth it. She came out so cute and just the way I pictured.

Adventure Time Star Wars Crossover! Marceline Han Solo is my favorite.

I couldn't resist making a Marceline Han Solo doll. The best of both worlds, if you ask me. She has her own blaster gun to fight off the enemies of the Land of Ooo and Boba Fett!

I'm not a psychopath, Anderson. I'm a high-functioning sociopath. Do your research.

BBC's Sherlock Holmes! This was one of my favorite dolls to crochet. Look at him, he's so adorable! His peacoat is crocheted in a shell stitch, which means it looks extra fancy. I even sewed tiny buttons onto it, because Sherlock deserves the best.

I of course included a picture with him and Watson together. They are a pair, after all.

We solve crimes, I blog about it, and he forgets his pants.

My John Watson amigurumi is done! He has delightfully shaggy yet distinguished hair, and bright blue eyes (even though I know Martin Freeman has hetercromia, and his eyes have the dastardly and enchanting ability to change colors *shakes fist* so I had to decide and I chose blue.)

I even made him his own shiny dog tag with his name on it.

And I just had to include a picture with him and Sherlock, because what is Watson without Holmes, and what is Holmes without dear Watson.
