Nettle got a tiny jumper! It was a knitted Christmas tree decoration found in Oxfam and luckily a great fit for a small bashful. Now we can match too!

HEY IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT NOREL
Have u ever mentioned how and when exactly he gets his ass beat
Pls tell me he gets his ass beat
THAT'S GREAT BC I'VE ALSO BEEN THINKING ABOUT NOREL, YOU CAUGHT ME AT A PERFECT TIME
Sorry if this is like. Incomprehensible. I just woke up (yes it is 9 PM, don't look at me)
So if I have to be honest the exact way Flower gets kidnapped, if it even succeeds and how Norel dies haven't been set in stone yet because I keep flip flopping around on how it should happen
I really like one idea that originally was just a fun scenario but not canon, but now I might just make it canon because 1) Ghost and Flower fucking jump off a building and shield-surf, and Flower damm near strangles Ghost when they're done falling (And I really need Flower yelling "Why do I consistently forget I'm related to a maniac with a long history of violence and bad decision making" at Ghost to be canon), and 2) PK finds out he has more kids than just Flower, Ghost and Hornet, and I do love to kick a man while he's down. BUT unfortunately, that's not finished cooking yet except maybe some small scenes, so I can't talk much about it much
Originally Norel was meant to be killed, either by Ghost in blind traumatic rage (Norel has been a thorn at the vessels' side for years, plenty of them have trauma related to his bullshittery and Ghost likely had run-ins with him before joining their siblings in Hallownest, they're not handling the death of their siblings well) or quickly ended by PK when he jumps in to protect Flower and shield them from a blow with his own body
BUT now I really want Norel to instead to go into hiding so he has a chance to traumatise the new generation too (and Flower absolutely blames themself because maybe if they told Tally about this maniac they and The New Mantis Baby wouldn't have been hurt)
But it does mean that I have absolutely no idea how he should die now. But I do like the idea of Ghost killing him, nothing's more cathartic than killing a little bitch, and the fact that Norel did all of these experiments with void to reach immortality and the Shade Lord is the one to kill him feels very poetic

Parsley - any pronouns Jellycat bashful bunny to custom bashful bilby Found the bunny at a charity store for $2 and then customised them to be a bilby by lengthening the snoot, shortening and perking up the ears, moving the eyes and making a new tail. Inspired by @thylacines-toybox's lovely bashful thylacine customs!

why are you into the wild kratts as someone who is "way over 40" ............. that is a childs show like not even in the cartoon network tweeny way like. its an actual pbs childrens learning show. what on earth
Because the brothers have done an episode in this show about thylacines, and I am obsessed with thylacines, and it was a much better show about thylacines than a lot of things I've seen that were aimed at "grownups". So, I watched the other episodes, and I learned a lot from them. I am actually a member of a conservation group and like other shows about animals, and I found that while there's a lot of silliness in the show, there's a lot more information in than there is in a lot of actual documentaries :)
You are correct that it's an actual educational show. I don't care for RPF, and the main characters are actual real people that I have MET, so I do not write fanfiction for it. But I like the fan art.
Chris and Martin are genuinely awesome people. I had the honour of having a fun conversation with them at an event and they told me about their experiences trying to find thylacines in Australia (sadly, not successful) and about looking for fossas in Madagascar (I also love fossas). They did find the fossas of course.
I read and write fanfiction for Transformers, Homestuck and Gravity Falls.
Most fanfiction of the Wild Kratts show does NOT interest me. People ship the brothers, which I personally find gross, but because I am not an anti with a brain full of fire ants, I ignore the existence of these fics.
Instead of complaining about them or sending the authors nasty notes, I go and read things that I actually enjoy. If you are an anti, you should try this. Fandom is supposed to be actually fun.
The era we live in is rough. We are still having a pandemic. I work in health care. We recently had an insurrection of racist assholes that tried to take over the government here in the USA. There has recently been a movement to undo all the progress we have made toward giving trans people and non-gender-conforming people their rights, which includes like over half my friends. While the world is actually a better place than it was when I was the age you probably are, in that people actually are shocked enough by the murder of black people by cops that they protest it, and same-sex marriage is legal, there are a lot of people out there who are really angry that the world is becoming less unfair and they are showing their vitriol and hatefulness all over the place.
So yes, I do enjoy shows that are intended for children. There are times when I really need 30 minutes of fun in which all of the problems will be solved by the end of the episode and none of them will be "people want to murder other people for stuff they can't help". Sometimes I just want to watch two guys' heroic self-inserts bash nasty rich people who want to poach wild animals for incredibly stupid reasons.
Now please run along and get off my lawn.

Asks for fanfic writers - 22. 24. 26. 30. 31. 46. Please lovely xxx
This is a long answer, so I’m hoping the cut works!
22  favorite story you’ve ever written
Probably Skin Trade because it’s a story I would like to read. I love a long case file, UST, angst and original characters that interact with M&S.
24  favorite scene you’ve ever written
This is too hard because of the sheer number of fics I’ve written. But I still remember writing my Aussie casefile ‘Returning the Past’ which contains this scene which I regard as vivid and tense.
The trail seemed longer, more winding, overgrown with vegetation on both sides, which made it harder to walk through. She twisted and turned behind Mulder. His stride wasn’t quite at his usual intensity but it was still a challenge to keep up. She sipped on the water and insisted Mulder take some too. The shiny red of his temples still a worry. The sky rumbled above and lightning flashed.
             “It’s starting again, Scully.”
             “This is a tropical region, Mulder. Thunderstorms are a regular occurrence. The heat, the landscape, the proximity to the ocean. The…”
             A crack overhead sucked the words out of her mouth. She ducked involuntarily. Mulder held his hands above his head and staggered back, tripping on a tangle of roots. He landed on his side and cried out. Scully rushed to him, pulling on his hand. He groaned and sat up. His gaze was cloudy, wandering. When his eyes widened and his mouth popped open, she turned round.
             “Oh my god.”
             “Scully…”
             She sunk down onto her knees. Dampness wicked through the fabric of her pants. Her own pulse echoed through her ears. The animal stood stock still in front of them. A curious mix between feline and canine. It’s sloping back, the long tail, the stripes across its saddle, the long, thin snout. It was as beautiful as it was fierce. It watched them without blinking, standing side on, displaying its markings. She held her breath, felt Mulder shifting behind her. The thylacine prowled one way, turned, prowled back. It issued a throaty whine, turned in a circle and laid down, curling its legs around and resting its head on its front paws.
             “Good dog,” Mulder whispered, laying a hand on her shoulder.
She let out a breath and tilted her head to him. “What now?”
“Throw him a bone and tell him to stay?”
“Mulder,” she said, lightly jabbing her elbow into his ribs. His hot breath was on the side of her neck and one hand was now in her lap. “Do you think we can outrun it?”
“I think it knows its territory better than we do. I’m not even sure we’re on the right path.”
Another rumble of thunder echoed around. Hot splashes of rain fell through the canopy. The thylacine yelped a yawn and shook its head. It stood up and stretched before slinking into the darkened bush behind. Scully stood and helped Mulder to his feet. Lightning bounced across the sky, followed by a sweep of blue lights.
“They’re back,” he said, pulling her in to him with both arms over her shoulders.
She pressed back, his body heat searing through her shirt. “And not just the lights.”
26  story you’re most proud of
There are many for different reasons, but I’d probably have to plump for my first fic, For Better or For Worse. It was a story that bashed at my brains for weeks before I succumbed. I really needed to know how M&S separated. It was written from the teasers and trailers pre season 10. I worked on it for days and days before braving AO3 publication. I think the prose is tight and the dialogue realistic. 
30  hardest part of writing
I don’t really find writing M&S hard, not like original fic, because the world and characters are all there for you. I guess it becomes more about keeping it real in terms of characterisation and trying for a different angle in the sea of fic that is published.
31  easiest part of writing
The banter! I love writing dialogue and I share the same sense of humour as Mulder so I hope I convey his dry wit when I write him dialogue.
46  share a scene of a story that you haven’t published yet
I don’t have a current WIP but I did write the start of a ‘close quarters’ fic for the Tropefest that I haven’t worked on. 
His flashlight was digging into her groin and if they weren’t cable-tied and stuffed in the trunk of a car, she’d find it somewhat amusing to ask him if he really were that pleased to see her.
              “It’s just my flashlight,” he said and his breath lifted the hair from her forehead. She felt a twinge of disappointment. His chin butted her eyebrow, stubble rasping her skin. Her nipples tightened involuntarily. As he wriggled to move off her, they became even more entangled. A knot of limbs in the leathery darkness.
              “How can I say, you’re touching my butt, without actually using the words you’re touching my butt,” she said.
              “Sorry, Scully, I’m…”
              “I know, you’re…”
              They’d ended up prisoners in their own rental car in the lot of an abandoned warehouse and had spent the best part of twenty minutes jostling and turning, desperate to free a cellphone or make enough noise to attract attention.
              “There’s no way I can reach my phone in this position,” he said. “But if I just slip down a little.”
              “Mulder, if you slip down any more, you’re going to give the Russian Olympic gymnastics team a run for their money. Have your hip bones dislocated?”
              He chuckled but it was half-hearted. The air was beginning to get thick and her temples throbbed with the pressure. If she was feeling it, Mulder would certainly be struggling to get enough oxygen.
              “Wait,” he said, muffled voice coming from somewhere totally different. “I think…yes…no. Hang on. Scully, if you could just…”
              “Ow! Mulder!”
              “Was that your?”
              She let the tingling in her nipple subside before whispering a quiet yes.
              “Sorry, Scully. But I think you could reach if you just scoot down and I lift my knees up. There…can you feel it?”
              She pushed out a series of huffs and he answered with strangled emissions from the base of his throat and she felt the smooth edges of his cell. She grasped the sides with two fingers, restricted still by the tight plastic that chafed the skin of her wrists. She figured they were now spooning.
              “Bet you’ve never parked like this, huh, Scully?” he asked. Because Mulder would always be Mulder.
              “It’s pretty steamy,” she said, trying to work out which way up the keypad was.
              “Have you dialled?”
              “I’m not sure.”
              “If I turn over, I might be able to guide you. Hold on.”
Thanks for the asks, beautiful.

((Headcanons for the Komodo Brothers’s thoughts on the Crash Bandicoot cast part 1. This list will have the well-known enemy mutants and mad scientists. I’ll do the rest in later parts.))
((Warnings: Large wall of text and some strong language in a few entries.))
Scientists:
Dr. Nefarious Tropy (N. Tropy)
Joe: Oh boy, the, “master of time”, himself. Joe doesn’t like how pretentious and condescending this member of the Blue Man Group is. During the whole race competition, Joe would grate his teeth hearing Tropy go on about how nobody can beat his time trials. Not to mention, the time puns; by the ancients they’re terrible. They should be burned in a fire pit along with the time lord himself.
Moe: Looks like an alien and acts weird. Probably needs to eat a snickers bar to stop being grumpy.
Dr. Neo Cortex (N. Cortex)
Joe: Wouldn’t trust him within a 1000 km range. He knows about Cortex’s chronic backstabbing and what happens later on after the job is done. It makes working for the big-headed scientist not an ideal situation. 
Moe: Why is his head bigger than his own body?! It could crack open any second now! He must put this guy out of his misery.
Dr. N. Gin
Joe: Isn’t sure if he should feel pity, or want to throw him in the nearest junkyard. Anyone working for Cortex would have to greatly suffer under his bullshit attitude and endless mockery (he knows through Brio). But at the same time, Joe seex how dangerous N. Gin can be with his robots. Plus, the physicist has an overall unpleasant vibe to him. Not a person he would want to hang around with at all.
Moe: A potato sack given sentience through the evolo-ray. Now why would Cortex want a bag of root starches as a henchman is anyone’s guess.
Dr. Nitrus Brio (N. Brio)
Joe: Despite creating the two brothers, Joe doesn’t have great opinions on their former boss. After losing to Crash in the second game, Brio gave a stern lecture to the two with Joe arguing back. He felt it was best to cut ties, and went on to take Moe with him to the outside world. Joe figured Brio would forget about them, and try to make other mutants to get back at Cortex. 
Moe: Feels sorry for him despite what his brother might think. The scientist looked so miserable and tired in his eyes. He wished he could’ve had the chance to talk to him.
Nina Cortex
Joe: Scary as hell for a young kid. He’d hate to ever have an encounter with her, and would rather hide than fight the cyborg. Joe is worried that if she ever gets a hold of Moe, she’ll break him in half and possibly take him back to the lab to be experimented on.
Moe: Thinks Joe is a big chicken for being scared of her. He’ll show this prodigy a thing or two about being tough.
Mutants:
Pinstripe Potoroo
Joe: Absolutely hates his guts. He thinks Pinstripe is this dirt-faced asshole who believes he’s hot shit as this Scarface, wannabe gangster. They had numerous races and poker games together during their off time, with both having used dirty tactics to get ahead of the other to win; often for extremely petty reasons. Whenever Pinstripe makes a snide remark, Joe responds with aggression and goes straight for the potoroo’s throat. It usually ends with the two left with severe markings and shattered egos.
Moe: While he doesn’t understand the rivalry between him and his brother, Moe wouldn’t hesitate to throw a saber at him.  He’s a bully who has made fun of his size and intelligence.
Tiny Tiger
Joe: This extinct marsupial is dumber than his own brother, which is saying a lot. He often cons Tiny into buying cheap, counterfeit trinkets in exchange for anything of value the thylacine carries on him. It’s both satisfying and hilarious at the same time.
Moe: Likes to throw meat snacks at Tiny. He does cool tricks, and will even scream with Moe to let out their anger. Good times.
Dingodile
Joe: He’s ok in his book. Not someone he can call a friend, but isn’t bad to play card games and pool with. Dude also knows how to make a mean BBQ lunch.
Moe: He makes great BBQ food, it’s a sign that he can be trusted.
Ripper Roo
Joe: A weird kangaroo with issues, but is very smart and well educated. Only ever interacted once under Brio, so he doesn’t have much of a solid opinion. He enjoys reading his book, “Through the Eyes of the Vortex: A Study of Rapid Evolution and Its Consequences”. It’s got a bunch of information Joe can sink his teeth into.
Moe: Finds his book boring as beans. He’s more interested in how Roo is blue compared to the other kangaroos. Now that’s a story he would read about.
Koala Kong
Joe: Another dumb muscle to rival Tiny. He’s only ever met the buff koala in a few card games and not much else. But has seen him in the action movies he stars in. After watching them, Joe think they’re brainless, vapid pieces of cinema.
Moe: Loves the movies he’s in. He would want to get his autograph if given the chance.
Bonus:
Viscount
Joe: He will never work for that two-faced, devil bastard of a prick ever again. After helping to get the treasure map back, Viscount only gave 1/10 of what he promised the brothers at the beginning. Joe was so outraged at this sleazy,  millionaire asshat, he wanted him dead on the spot (Along with having his head be fed to a bunch of wild crocodiles). This never happened, and he was kicked out of the mansion along with Moe.
Moe: Hates him the same reason Joe does.
Rusty Walrus
Joe: Not a big fan of his food. Prefers Dingodile’s cooking over the pinniped’s any day.
Moe: Watches his show every week . He wants to try some of his dishes in real life despite not having access to some of the ingredients shown.
Rilla Roo*
(*Note: While the player has the option to fight the brothers as Roo in Crash Bash, I bet most picked the other characters and not this DK crew reject. If the ape was chosen, it’s possible that the two never heard of this dude’s name. In that case, this mysterious primate was given the nickname by Moe as, “Pants Monkey”. Hence why they don’t know of Rilla Roo’s existence.)
Joe: Never’s seen him, and likely will never meet him. For all he knows, this hybrid is some sort of urban legend spoken among the inhabitants of the islands.
Moe: Who?

This is going to be bitter but I'm actually really salty at filigree. It's just not good, and it was a massive missed opportunity.
I know others like it, and that's good! I'm not going to be angrily stalking lairs with the gene or bashing dragons with it or yelling at those that enjoy it. You like it, cool!!
...I just personally pine for the missed potential of what we could have had.
No one is forcing me to buy dragons with it, no one is forcing me to buy the gene itself, and trust me, I won't be doing either one of them.
I think it's just that while I don't typically love EVERY gene, or even like them, I don't really... dislike them as much as I do with this gene, and that's kinda throwing me.
Honestly, it feels like stained - where there was an uproar over it being a gem gene price for what is essentially an opacity layer, and it also feels like the thylacine drama, where lithe execution was poor and it just could have been so much better.
It feels like an unfinished gene that shouldn't be gem priced.

Making a bunny into a thylacine!
I’m at it again with extreme Jellycat modding! I love my bashful thylacine Patchouli so much, I wanted to have a small version too. This time I thought I’d record the process a bit more!
Tumblr media
Plushie surgery under the cut! It’s fairly extensive, including removal and rebuilding of a whole face, so be warned! (It all turns out well in the end though!)
The first step is de-earing the bunny! They stitch these ears in quite firmly (you know how much these bunnies get swung around by the ears!) so it takes quite a lot of unpicking.
Tumblr media
One ear gets folded inside out, stitched, trimmed, then stuffed to form a tail!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The second ear gets unpicked entirely, so I’ve just got a single layer of ear fabric. I sew this together with some white fur to make new ears.
Tumblr media
Oh, I had to shave this fur down a little to match the shorter fur of the small size! Some extra trimming was needed after sewing pieces on too, especially on the stripes to neaten them up.
Tumblr media
Next it’s time to rework the face, unpicking the nose and embroidered mouth, and basically opening up the front of the snout and chin a little bit. With an extra white muzzle piece added, this will help elongate the whole head.
Tumblr media
The old eyes need to come out too! I can access the backs of them through the open snout. This plastic washer on the inside needs to be cut off to remove the eye, and the small hole that is left needs a couple stitches to close it up.
Tumblr media
A little white fur is used for the muzzle (the shape of this piece is sorta like, a bean with a dart in the bottom…) and stitched nearly all the way around, just leaving an unsewn gap at the top where the nose will go.
Tumblr media
A new nose made from an oval of minky, stitched around and drawn up like a little bag around a tiny ball of stuffing. Bashful Jellycats usually have a faux suede nose, but minky doesn’t look too out of place! Other Jellycats can have minky noses.
Tumblr media
Nose and ears sewn in place, and new eyes have been fitted in a higher up position than the original eyes, emphasising the snout! (Fitted the eyes by going in through the ear holes before I sewed those in…)
On my medium bashful thylacine I sewed a little dark patch of fur on under the eyes, but I left it out here as it’s just too small and looks fine without. The medium also had a mouth embroidered, but I decided against that here too!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now time to pattern out stripes… three is fine. Gets the idea across.
Tumblr media
This is my least favourite part lol, it’s so tedious… sewing through fur, trying to get the stripes’ positioning and furry edges to look nice and even……. blah.
Tumblr media
And finally, small bashful thylacine is done!! Now they just need a name and some accessories :)

Jellycat Bashful Thylacine… but not really! This isn’t an official Jellycat, but a custom plush I made in April 2023 by heavily modifying a bashful golden bunny. I did my best to make it look as close to official as I could!
I would absolutely love if Jellycat produced a thylacine for real, but until then, this one will do!
Just in case you can’t believe it’s not a real Jellycat, here are a couple of WIP photos!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
No walkthrough this time because it was very experimental and messy and honestly a little graphic lol.
Haven’t decided which herb or spice to name this one after yet!

In celebration of one whole year of Thylacine’s Toybox, I looked up my most popular posts and set up a silly toy picnic on the floor with some of your favourites from the past year! There’s an interesting range of characters here…
Pawface bites (?) into a burger while the picnic’s smallest guests relax on their own mini blanket.
Tumblr media
The thylacines got a pizza! Jellybean picks off some of the toppings... that’s fine.
Tumblr media
Nova has a Big sushi platter and… is she going to drink the soy sauce? Nova, no!
Someone else wants a little sushi too…
The baby chimera is content with his sandwich and juice!
Tumblr media
Pangea and Magenta dig in to some kibble, like the normal dogs they are! Stripy chooses the world’s weirdest grilled cheese instead.
Tumblr media
Finally, Thunder (in proper party clothes) and Snocap chat and discover they have a lot in common. Also Nom Nom is there.
Tumblr media
Looks like everyone had fun! Thanks for joining us at the picnic (and for enjoying my blog)!

I sewed this pair of bashful-sized dungarees yesterday, but after all that work I actually prefer Patchouli without them! He’s cute in them, but I do like to see those back stripes I put so much effort into sewing, and I like to feel his fur.
I got the pattern here if you wanna try making your own dungarees for a bashful jellycat! (Also you can go here if you wanna try making a bashful thylacine as well lol)

Bashful Thylacine had a little visit to the museum this afternoon, where he got to meet a real thylacine and sit in a cool but uncomfortable seat.
(Bashful Thylacine is a custom modded Jellycat, not an official Jellycat product!)

I haven't given a name to the little bashful thylacine yet, but I did give them a daisy crown today.
(Okay, decided to go for Nettle! It’s just short enough to fit on a bracelet for their tiny arm…)
