It's time I should tell you a little more about my OCs, not only in my Scenes. I organised them by 3 AUs, and alphabetically in every AU, so it would be easier to find them!

1. My first, the oldest AU:

Adonis, Cream, Cysiek, FanFanGrace, FinFun, Jemmysweets, Mirage, Papyrus, Silenia, Sky, Tango, TuśTuś (or TusTus without Polish letters)

AU's situation: One ugly day Macavity made a trap to his next "plan" but it backfired spectacularly, when not his target but a cat witch, Silenia from the Wanderers Ctal, fell in it. She was angry, furious even, and she had a word with him, without his consent or permission. He was perplexed at first, intrigued by her powers and slowly, slowly, year by year they fall in love. She never falls in his ways, rather pulled him out of them, making him maybe not decent, but not evil at least. And they had a kitten, FinFun. At the same time, Munkustrap and Tugger fall in love and ask Mistoffelees, if he could with his magic, bring them kittens. So Misto took a bit of fur from each of them, and in his magic hat, he brewed two kits, Cysiek and TuśTuś. They are miks of the two of their fathers in looks and temperament. So, here we go.

Adonis, he/him

Ashera cat, one of the most pricely cats in the world. His hoomans bought him without thinking about a simple fact - this is an animal, alive thinking creature, energetic and full of life, with needs they need to meet. But they wanted a manifestation of their money, another piece of art to their home, something that showed their status, so he was neglected. He quickly became a menace and had enough of this stiff house, those stupid hoomans so he just... ran away. And he was happy like never. Finally he wandered to the junkyard, where he found a new home. Well, he found it after he brought them a new virus, and almost everyone was ill (very or less) and he helped, because it was from his home and he was immune. Husband with Cream, FinFun , Sky and TuśTuś.

Cream, he/him

His hoomans were murdered, after they were found, he end up in the shelter, and ran away from it. He wandered some time and found a way to the junkyard and stayed there. He is an excellent cook, especially when we talk about preparing food from scratch. Very warm, but has a temperament, and he is very serious about food. He is at war with Jerrie and Teazer, and Skimbleshanks often is a victim of these events. Husband with Adonis, FinFun, Sky and TuśTuś.

Cysiek, he/him

First of tuggerstrap's kittens. He is definitely Tugger's son, brave, funny, he likes attention and has problems with rules. Often causes chaos with FinFun or drama with Tango. Acearo, he likes flirting, but nothing more. He is living at the veterinary clinic and often helps the tribe with medical problems, mostly by himself. When something is very serious, he takes the cat to this clinic and meows so as long as it is needed for someone veterinarian to take care of the patient. And hoomans there like him, because he calms down most of the regular patients, is very well behaved and helpful.

FanFanGrace, he/him, ftm

Very elegant, very cute, very beautiful and very, very boring cat. Most of his time he sleeps, begs for food or is petted by customers of his hooman jewellery shop. At the junkyard his den is a cave from 101 nights. Full of items from everywhere. Beautiful, strange, useful, etc. things he uses as gifts or just to use them when something is needed.

FinFun, he/him but in reality is agender, just looks like a tom and he doesn't care about pronouns, so it stayed he/him, if you use anything else he is like "whatever" and go with it

Son of Macavity and Silenia. He wasn't wanted guest at the junkyard at first, but with time they liked him enough to let him live with them. He is very powerful, even more than his father, who has almost no idea about it. His mother knows more, but still not everything. One thing Macavity knows for sure: if he hurt anyone in the junkyard, FinFun absolutely will go ballistic and probably will kill him. FinFun is very protective about both his families, so also talking ill about his father or mother (without reasons at least) can be very... unwise. Also, his main goal in life is to cause as much mischief and chaos as he can, so he is good friends with Jerrie and Teazer, Pouncival etc. Husband with Adonis, Cream, Sky and TuśTuś.

Jemmysweets, she/her

Sister of Jenny and Jelly, daughter of Gus the theatre cat, wife of Rumpus Cat (dead) and mother of Munkustrap. She loves to tease with Tugger, but she loves him. Not from the start, but well... Protector and fighter with Rumpus, after his death she started to teach cats how to fight and stay alive. She loves her garden.

Mirage, he/him

Demisexual, demiromantic. He lives with his hooman at an esoteric shop. He is magical a bit, but uses it mostly at unruly or rude customers. His owner has no idea about it. He loves to read books and science papers or articles on the internet. Also, he is an illusionist. He hates his father (aggressive tom, leader of a street gang), like those of his brothers and sisters who go with him.

Papyrus, he/him, ftm

He is living in the library, where he plays with kids or calm adults and reads books. Mostly that last one. He hates his whole family, who is disgusted by him and his peaceful life with hoomans. He likes cats from the junkyard, teaches kittens how to read and write, he tells them stories and brings books. He adores his friends.

Silenia, she/her

Witch, she lives in the forest mostly, with Macavity. She is from the city clan, the Wanderers, but being close to so much noise and hoomans wasn't to her liking, so she left. She knows nature, herbs and simple magic, but she also has wild, dangerous powers. Also, she can be lethal when someone attacks her, and has no problem with killing. She loves her husband and son, even when they irritate her to no end.

Sky, he/him

Somalian cat. He was travelling from Greece to America on the airplane, but something went wrong, he ended at the wrong airport and he was scared. Airport workers weren't prepared for his temperament and he ran away. After some time he found the junkyard and... stayed. Protector and hunter, he is fast and strong, but he is afraid of heights. Very calm cat, but you can see when he is angry, even when he doesn't do anything to show that.

Tango, he/him

Deaf angora, kicked out from his home, found by a homeless queen and kept by her. He hated his condition for a long time, but she slowly taught him how to live with it and be happy. Her death was traumatic to him. Now very sweet, happy, a bit sassy cat, who loves to dance with cats and hoomans. Very stubborn. He learnt signing all by himself.

TuśTuś, they/them

Second of tuggerstrap's kittens. Way more calm and shy than their brother. Their main job is repair, create and build anything that can help the others in their everyday life. They are trying to be Protector, but aren't very good at that - their mind wanders too easily and they can be lost in minutes after leaving the tribe's territory on the patrol. Husband with Adonis, Cream, FinFun and Sky.

2. Less happy, more dramatic AU.

AlmonDisco, Amberlina, EarthyRose, FlowerFlow, Haze, HoneyTrap, SpicyJuice, Shyny, Vanilliarity.

Here the situation is completely different. Munkustrap was living as a home cat, half as a purring sweet plushie, half as a street hero, Rumpus Cat. Sadly, Rumpus gave trouble to The Rats Clan one time too many and they killed his friend/roommate cat and threatened his hooman family. So he fled and found the tribe, befriended with Tugger and Mistoffelees. But he just couldn't help himself, and very fast was back to Rumpus heroics, and met Macavity, a cat with a terrible reputation and heart of gold, even if grumpy, and his helper, Griddlebone (Victoria for the tribe, when Macavity was Plato sometimes. They were in a fake relationship as those alter egos, to help keep theirs alibis). He was fighting, in secret, with The Rats for a long time, but needed to cut all his contacts with the tribe (he was "expelled" by Old D. who knows about everything, Griddlebone was his eyes and ears in the tribe) and becomes a "Napoleon of crime". They were working for some time together, fighting and planning, Macavity and Munkustrap fell in love, and in an magical accident they became fathers of two kittens, Haze and Shyny. It was hard for them to fight, raise kids and almost constantly running away from The Rats, but somehow they managed it, with Victoria's help, Munkustrap still living double life. In the meantime, Rum Tum Tugger and Mistoffelees have their own children, almost the same age as Haze and Shyny, a year older. Also, they (Misto mostly) try to find out and destroy the Napoleon of crime plans, knowing nothing about The Rats. At some point The Rats attacked the tribe, wanting to get Old D. and Demeter (kill or capture, not a big difference) and Munkustrap's secrets were out. In the panic and hurt he was expelled, everyone was thinking he was Macavity's spy and this attack was his fault. Old D. tried to calm them down, but at that moment this was mostly impossible, so Munku just gave up and left. Victoria was never suspected and kept that, like a Plato. For Tugger it was a very hard time, he loved Munkustrap like a brother and all those lies hurt him badly. Together Mac, Munku and Griddlebone finally managed to push off The Rats, Old D. (and some others, like Skimble, Jenny and Jelly) was still voting after them and a year later Macavity, Munkustrap with their kittens, and Victoria were back in the junkyard. Tuggoffelees's kittens almost immediately loved munkavity's kids, which was a big pain in the ass for Tugger, who still had a deep wound in his heart and was very vocal about it. Macavity was lashing every time when Tugger attacked Munku, which wasn't helpful. Only after when The Rats were truly pacified for once and good, maine coon and Munkustrap found time to talk and resolve everything between them. So yeah, a bit of a crazy story ;) So, my OCs:

AlmonDisco, he/him

Tuggoffelees's kitten, happy, bubbly cat, too cocky sometimes, mischievous, next tribe magician. Stubborn, sassy and have no problem with talking about what is on his mind. He had many more or less serious fights with Tugger about Shyny, whom he loves to no end. Powerful magician, powerful fighter.

Amberlina, nonbinary, she is using she/her but mostly from laziness, she doesn't care about them

Aseksual, panromantic, demiromantic. Tuggoffelees's kitten. Her magic is concentrating on her words, they can cause physical pain but also change someone's mind or take charge over them. Calm, pragmatic and bit pessimistic.

EarthyRose, she/her mtf

Tuggoffelees's kitten. Happy, calm queen. loving and caring about everyone. She can tell when someone is telling the truth or lies, but has a problem with moments when someone doesn't tell about something. She knew Munkustrap is hiding something, but is loyal to the tribe.

FlowerFlow, she/her

Tuggoffelees's kitten. Very happy, very bubbly creature, lively and almost always moving, running, dancing, jumping etc. She loves colourful things, her den is like a rainbow. She is the heart of every party in the junkyard.

Haze, he/him

Munkavity's kitten. Quite big tom, red with black stripes. His magic helps him fight and after heal him or others, if he wants. He rather avoids the rest of cats, because of the time when they were for the first time at the junkyard, and a lot of them showed him and his family their aversion. Especially because their angry words hurt his brother. He is in threesome with Oranglow and HoneyTrap.

HoneyTrap, he/him

Tuggoffelees's kitten. He is similar to AlmonDisco, but more wild and dangerous. Excellent hunter, this is his main occupation, less fighter and protector than brother. He is with Haze and Oranglow.

Shyny, he/him

Munckavity's kitten. Smaller than his brother, black fur with red stripes, less fighter, more magician. His powers are similar to Macavity's, like levitation, making shadows, teleportation, but also wandering by shadows, he can catch someone in them, create mist, voices... and many more. Shy, he prefers solitude, spare his family and AlmonDisco. The last one he loves with all his heart. He loves kittens and prepares them for them funny shows with shadows.

SpicyJuice, she/her

Tuggoffelees's kitten. Solid, calm, sure of herself and her abilities. Munkustrap's right hand, main protector when he was expelled, and his right hand again, when he was back. It was she who made him the Main Protector again, even when he didn't wanted to.

Vanilliarity, he/him

Tuggoffelees's kitten. Most peaceful, calm, sweet and nice cat you can meet. He loves everyone, and always cares about them. He loves to sing and do that almost constantly.

3. Last AU

Here is an absolutely different situation. Macavity is evil and deprived, and one of his goals is to kidnap Moon, Sun, Star, who are very powerful magicians and Bumblee, who is a protege of Old D. Moon, Sun and Star are kittens of Rum Tum Tugger, Mistoffelees and Munkustrap, they live as a happy threesome. Bumblee is a kid of Alonzo and Jemima's, connected with the universe and moon, especially Jellicle Moon.

Bumblee

Son of Alonzo and Jemima. After the mother he can see the future, talk with ghosts etc. He is Old D's protege, probably future Lider, at least this is what everyone thinks. He is terrified by that idea, because he incorrectly interpreted his second name and he is sure the one wrong decision and he destroys the tribe. Happy, bubbly cat, hate fights. Not very sure of himself but sure of his abilities. Best friend of Moon, Sun and Star.

Moon

Son of Mistoffelees, Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger's. Walking the biological encyclopedia, he knows everything about plants and animals. He doesn't like to sit at home, prefer wandering. His magic is about hiding, making his tracks invisible, helping him survive in the wild.

Star

Son of Mistoffelees, Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger's. He is an astronomer and knows everything about stars, moon and calendar. He loves his job. Once he saw a Jellicle Cat herself with his magical, blue eye. His magic is about bending elemnts.

Sun

Son of Mistoffelees, Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger's. He is a fighter, Protector. Very stubborn, lively and energetic creature. His magic is about fighting and explosions.

And there is OC who don't belong to any of my AUs, so he is here, alone.

Tikku, he/him

He lives in polycule with Munkustrap, Alonzo, Skimbleshanks, Mungojerrie, Mistoffelees, Macavity and Rum Tum Tugger. He was born on the other side of the city and he wandered to the junkyard. He is a bit shy, but stubborn and happy cat.

Invader Zim- Infinite Pink: Prologue (1)

WARNING/DISCLAIMER: This fic is intended for a mature audience and will be covering some traumatic topics that could be triggering. Please be advised!

Read with caution!

-Major Character death is temporary and only used in prologue.

-This fic is likely to make some uncomfortable or potentially be triggering. -It is intended for mature audiences, as it will be exploring dark and mature themes and situations. Such as violence, implied/attempted sexual assault and abuse. Non-con/dub-con warnings apply. I will try not to go into too much graphical details, however be warned it will be implied or referenced. -The events in this story are entirely fictional and merely done for dramatic effect. However, they are not intended to poke fun or downplay the real-life seriousness of these issues in anyway.

-I always try to include additional warnings in my author notes before each chapter.

WARNINGS OVER.

Stay safe!

===============================

SUMMARY: Zim’s trial was a victory for Irken society, their biggest thorn finally defeated for good. Zim’s soul reflects on his life and actions from the great beyond.

When a second chance presents itself; Will he achieve his happy ending or wind up like he did before? Fighting against impossible odds, unraveling mysteries and discovering what lies beneath. Secrets will be revealed. What truth awaits?

===============================

NOTES:

-Prazr is supposed to be slow burn endgame pairing.

-No Dib/mission to invade Earth (I don’t plan on exploring it) in this fic, besides small past references.

-Instead it will be focused more on Irk and her history/society. Like Zim’s Academy/elite days.

-It’s been years since I’ve wrote a proper story, so please don’t mind the writing if it’s a bit weird in some places. I’ve had this plot stuck in my head for about a year. Inspired by my obsessed with Isekai/reincarnation/do-over manga and fics.

-If others want to use this as a base for their own story or art, that’s fine. Just tag me, I’d love to see what you do!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(The Abyss: Undetermined time after The Trial)

Zim floated endlessly in darkness, surrounded only by a feeling of a bygone age.

His body, the only thing visible as far as the eye could see. Was as bare as the day he was born, not even a PAK attached.

Any Irken caught like this would be ridiculed for such degeneracy. Yet, he could not muster much shame. Only hugging his knees tighter to his chest.

He had nothing to show the passage of time. Only a half remembered feeling of what it was to be alive. Left alone in the Abyss with only his own thoughts and distant memories as company.

How long had he been here? Minutes, cycles...Eons?

Was this what death truly felt like? All alone and tormented by his life on replay.

Forever wondering what had went wrong.

He had been angry at first. Enraged at the thoughts of his trial and execution.

How dare they do this to him, to ZIM! He hadn't done anything to deserve this!

The pain of PAK removal was one of the few things still fresh in his mind.

He had cursed the hoomans and their filthy planet, the dib-beast for always interfering in his plans. As well as a long list of others for his fate. Just about anyone and everyone he could remember. No matter how insignificant they had played a role in his life.

His rage had burned without an end in sight. Who had he angered to endure such disgrace! Who did they think they were to put him through such humiliation?

The names had slipped past his lips before he could stop them.

The Almighty Tallest.

His tirade had halted immediately. Appalled at his renegade of a mouth.

What traitorous thoughts!

The propaganda and teachings of the Empire still deeply ingrained within his mind.

Yet, the more he had thought about them, the more his rage started to burn again. Turning into a blaze of discontent and resentment.

The Tallest had used him!

They were no more innocent then he!

Just as the Empire had designed them to. Zim had only been doing what any Irken soldier would've done...right? They were taught to love destruction and mayhem. How could he ever be the one in the wrong? Was not that, the purpose the Control Brains gave them?

He was only doing his duty.

What right did they have to punish him then!

Was not it the Tallest who had forced him to pilot during Operation Impending Doom?

They hadn’t even asked what had caused the disaster. Why he had done what he did. Not that he could’ve answered them. Even now, that time is nothing but a distant haze at best.

Still, they had never tried to find out what had went wrong. Only sending him to suffer on Foodcourtia under the sadistic Sizz-Lorr.

Did they like seeing him in pain? Did they enjoy seeing him unable to fight against them, even when they continued to ridicule him. Pushing him ever closer to his breaking point?

Like when they had sent him to that treacherous death-world known as Urth.

No! His body had shook in anger.

No, no.

The truth was that they had sent him into the deep recess of space, hoping he would die.

He had turned a blind eye to all their misdeeds against him.

For so long...too long, he realizes now.

Letting his feelings blind him. Everything had just felt so...so right with them. He had clung to a smeethood friendship. To long buried feelings that he swore they shared, but could not speak of.

Had he really been that delusional?

They had been friends once, close ones. It had been an instant connection. One he thought would last the test of time. Since their days in the Academy, they had spent practically every waking moment by each other’s sides. Years spent studying, training and completing assignments together. Even graduated as elites with one another.

He had cared about them, more than he could ever put into words. He had thought they had cared about him too.

Maybe they had one point...Until their love of status won out.

Zim had always known about their dreams of grandeur. But, had ignored it. Convincing himself, that no matter what, they would never abandon him. That they still cared for him...even if only a little.

Yet, time and time again he was proven wrong.

Unwilling to accept the truth. His own delusions gladly filling in the blanks. They were ultimately the same as him, obviously. Only doing what the Empire wanted. What the Control Brains wanted.

This was all an...act...There was no way they actually hated him. It was...a test! A test of his faith, of his will...of his love. No matter what, he couldn’t fail. He needed to prove himself to them. Maybe then...

What a pitiful creature he had been.

So much so, he had even done something as primitive as pray to the ancient Gods. Hoping that one day...

He really was delusional. The crazed mess everyone believed him to be.

After all, what Irken in their right mind, would ever want to be seen with such a tiny smaller?

Yet, in the end he had still loved them. Even now his cardiac-spooch aches for them.

They had hurt him, but he had hurt them too. He hates them, he loves them, he hates them, he loves them...

He doesn’t know what to think about them anymore.

After some time, his anger had eventually moved on.

To the only ones left.

The Control Brains.

The machines who claimed to control everything. If they were truly such omnipotent beings, then surely they had to have known his PAK was defective! They dictated everything about Irken lives after all, from what they wore, to their careers and everything in-between.

Then why was only he to blame!

Were not they the ones that programed him this way!

If he had been such a threat to the empire, if his PAK had so many errors, then why didn't they fix it!

Why had he been the only one to be punished!

If he was so broken, then why couldn't they have just fixed him!

…and just like that, the flames had been snuffed out. He had been quiet for a few minutes...hours...or maybe even days. Dwelling only on that single thought alone.

A sob had left him as the realization came crashing down.

Only then had he finally blame himself. A deep well of shame had quickly bubbling within him.

Over two hundred cycles, years devoted to serving the Armada. Bowing to the strict rules of the Empire and whims of his Tallest. Placing his loyalty to Irk above all else. Rejecting his natural inclinations. Forever trying to hid his perceived weaknesses.

It all amounted to what exactly?

He was defective. A mistake. A problem to be remedied and swept under a rug to be forgotten.

He was only capable of needlessly destroying everything in his path, even himself.

Forever trying to be something he wasn't.

While Silently pleading, hoping beyond hope someone would give him the attention...the love that he so desired. His peers would recognize him and appreciate him.

Irk was sure to celebrate his death for cycles to come.

It's not that he hadn't tried to control his urges. He had tried, he really did. To be the perfect soldier, to be the prime Irken example.

But, at his core, that not who he was. Despite how much he had tried to make himself to be so.

Luck was as much his friend as it was his enemy.

In a society were one was not to step out of line, not to break any mold, to do only what they were told. Someone like him, could only double down. Hoping that maybe this time something would go right. If only he kept trying it wouldn't be considered failure. Something would have to work eventually, right? He hadn't been kicked out of the collective yet. So that meant there was still hope.

What a fool he had been.

Chaos incarnate many called him. The name Zim was synonymous with destruction and failure. He had no glory, no honor. He was nothing but a devil to his own people, an omen of their death.

By the Gods, if he could just go back!

His hands clench at the thought.

Would things be different? Could he make different choices.

Even if his loyalty came into question? If he walked a different road then that of the perfect little Irken.

Would he even be capable of such a thing?

He doesn’t know.

If only he had tried a little hard to control himself. If he could just be given another chance to prove himself. If to no one else, but to him. If he could just have a chance to live life how he truly wanted.

If only he could start over. If only...

A humorless laugh leaves him. Who would even give him the time of day? To him of all Irken?

As if.

His Empire had denounced him. His people had forsaken him. He had nothing left.

Magenta eyes stare blankly into the expansive darkness. They close as he buries his face into his knees, lamenting his fate.

Truly this couldn't have been a more fitting punishment for someone as despicable as him.

I'm super late and sorry for ruining the good mood after the awesome new sprites reveal! Note: some of this was written before the reveal and some after

(It turned out so long, longer than my school essays and I might've made some wording/formulation mistakes so sorry again.)

Hey so I kind of really have a deep hatred for drama but at the same time I want to talk about what ""happend"" recently because a big part of it seems a bit like BS to me.

(I'm on the SE developers' side btw so if I say something that might offend you I think it's best not to read)

Okay, basically there was some writing for the original chapter 7 "leaked" by a person who was on the team but left months ago and while it didn't seem like that big of a deal at first after hearing both sides of the story I have a bit of a clearer image. So what's written there is what chapter 7 was supposed to be like however it's clear now that the current chapter 7 will have nothing to do with this. Buuut there's a problem there, not going into the whole contract thing (yet) I'd like to say that it doesn't make sense from Cecile's side to call this JUST a fanfiction.

Normally it wouldn't be a problem but what's written there was at some point supposed to be canon, right? This writing is coming from someone who has an insider's perspective unlike us, "outsiders" who were never on the team and have no idea about how the plot is/was supposed to go. A fanfic is, may I quote, "fiction written by a fan of, and featuring characters from, a particular TV series, film, etc." Thus the whole contract thing doesn't matter in that statement since the person/people who wrote this aren't fans, they're people who were on the SE development team.

And so I read the thing (ngl, it was mainly because I was really curious and wanted to see what it was all about) and tbh I can understand Serena's annoyance towards it. I mean, it contains some info on the characters. Info we've never heard of before (and I'm not gonna talk about it just in case some people decided not to read it because I respect that) while most of those were just small glimpses into their personalities/hobbies/background and it didn't seem like there was anything plot heavy, or nothing that I've noticed is supposed to be important for later, it still doesn't change the fact that these informations are canon, right?

I suppose Serena must've read it at some point and approved the writing though that's just speculation on my part.

So long story short, what was posted isn't really a fanfic but more like the plot of an old chapter that got either delayed to a later chapter or like... completed deleted since they left the team and the layout of the chapter is now out to the public so I highly doubt Serena is gonna post something similar to this, or at least if she's still planning on making a Halloween chapter then maybe she'll change how the story was supposed to play out?

Tbh I feel like it would've been smarter to ask first if they can publish the copy of the chapter instead of making a big ruckus out of it. This could've been easily avoided but then again I don't know if they left the team on good terms, not that this part is any of my business though.

Anyway, so then we have the whole "she didn't give us a contract to sign" argument which is... uh, I mean, what did you expect?

SE development started back in 2015 correct? So it's been around 4 years and we're only on chapter 6. Why? Because making the game isn't their full time job and they made that clear multiple times in the past. Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, but 4 years ago wasn't Serena like in her late teens/early twenties or something? I know it might seem cheap to pull out the legendary "she was young" argument but tbh I'm in high school and never have I imagined or taken seriously the thought of making an indie game. If like, next month I decided to do it and found some people who are down for making some assets for the game then a legal contract would literally be the last thing I would think about.

Besides it's not like Serena has ever been secretive about the things she thought were necessary to tell the fandom, or at least I don't get the feeling that she has. Do y'all really imagine her being like "muhahaha! I'm not gonna make a contract with them so I can freely use their work!" ???

The thing with a contract is that it's not only good for the employees but also for the employer if the workers ever do something that they weren't supposed to (like now). And she's not planning on taking "legal" action anyway because like she said, nothing good will come out of it and she technically doesn't have a "right" to do so.

And let's just be realistic here for a second, okay? Like do you guys really think that they're earning a whole lot thanks to sweet elite? There's barely 18k accounts on the site and I'm pretty sure that most of those are doubles or triples in order to go through different routes. Also, we don't know how much of those accounts belong to active players on the game. There's many people out there who play like the first 2 chapters and never touch the game again because they'd rather watch a let's play or they dropped the game. And amongst the people who do play sweet elite regularly (as in, they log in everyday and play the new chapter when it's out) how many people is there who have ever paid for energy? The thing is that the game is still in it's early stages, there's not many chapters yet so it's easy to catch up quickly and tbh their energy system is pretty generous. You receive 5 points per day but you can also use coins to exchange them for energy (which is what most people do in order to catch up).

So point is, I'm pretty sure they don't gain a lot of money out of it and almost all of the work they do, they do it for free in their free time because they like making the game.

So I dunno, it might be pretty shitty of me and naive to think about it in this way but tbh I feel like it was kind of obnoxious of them to just, y'know. Leave because "there's no contract and we're not making any money out of this" then come back months later to post something that we weren't supposed to see and complain about the fact that their writing and sprites are getting used in chapter 6. Like?? I think it's quite clear that the team is planning on replacing all of the sprites and as for the writing what do you expect them to do? Go through every single chapter again and add words to each sentence, replace some words with synonyms and reformulate everything so it can't be considered your writing anymore? That's kinda dumb and a waste of time.

Could've they replaced all the old illustrations first and then posted the episode? Yes but how much time would it have taken? They'd have to make the new artists overwork and they don't have a way to pay them much all at once. Sweet Elite will be around 50 chapters and it's an episodic type of game in which assets get replaced and added as time goes on because if they did everything in one go then there would be almost no time to update the story.

I can't even pretend to understand because quite frankly I'm not an artist, but I CAN at least understand the feeling of wanting to be reconized for the things I do and for the work I put into things. Who wouldn't?

Plus, to be fair I don't think that there's any shame in wanting to be paid for a job but is making Sweet Elite a job? Not completely. Not yet at least. Right now it's more of a part time job/hobby and it's totally okay to quit when you don't feel like working on it anymore. However if the money and the compensation aspect of making it was so important then wouldn't it have been better to say "Sorry, but I refuse to work on this until I sign a contract" right off the bat rather than feeling like you're not appreciated enough and complain about it months later like a really salty potato chip?

Not making a contract, while being a mistake on Serena's part, she never tried to pretend it wasn't. In fact she affirms that she has made many errors and again, like I said earlier a contract is beneficial to both the employees AND the employer so had she been more careful it wouldn't have played out this way. We don't even know the circumstances and her point of view of that whole contract thing, maybe she just thought that it would be better to not make one in order to keep the workers free to leave in any given moment because she knew that she wouldn't be able to pay them enough?

I saw some people in the tags being like "look guys, this is why I don't support sweet elite anymore and why you shouldn't too!" Which is tbh a pretty simple minded way of looking at it. I guess we, as the pitiful hoomans we are, we're more inclined on taking the side of the "weakest" group which means the people who left the team because there was apparently some ""injustice"" but the more I look into it and the more it seems like it was a big misunderstanding.

Dulcet games is so new do you expect to get paid hundreds/thousands for an indie game with a small following in which even the "boss" isn't getting any/much money out of it? Oh, and there's also some being super vocal about leaving because "Cecile's art was the only thing keeping me from leaving" which... lmao. Take it in a humorous tone please but It's like a customer in Walmart saying that they won't come back again because the fancy red t-shirts from the clothing section are gone. Idk man. You can say whatever you want about the team behind SE but I still stand by the belief that it's a great game with good writing and progressive characters. And all the things Serena did so far seem like pretty logical courses of action especially in this situation or am I wrong? Is Serena secretly evil guys? Were we fooled all along.,.,,..,

(Sorry this post started out so serious and ended so stupid, I'm just unable of writing about really seriousssss topics. Serious with 5 Ss because it's so seriousssss. Also did you notice that this whole thing is obvious and dumb if you think about it for longer than 1 minute? The moment someone says they don't get paid for something everyone flips over but the true question is, did they have the means of paying you at that time? Everybody is so quick to jump on Serena's throat without thinking and it's kinda sad. We're so superficial, like if money is mentionned ONCE in a drama suddenly everyone ascends to their most sensitive state of bitterness. As far as we know Serena never forced anyone to stay on the team and it's no secret that she doesn't get much money ESPECIALLY for an indie game company. It doesn't seem like they didn't want to pay them but more like they couldn't afford to at that time and everything wasn't set up in place yet.)

#sweet elite #se #soooo loonnng #I'm pretty sure many will skip this because it's super long and useless drama #and actually you're right #please skip this if you don't care about the quote unquote drama #if you did read this though could you feel the sheer amount of pent up anger in this?#I tend to back away from conflict but this one is important to me #like why y'all always trying to take every single good thing down for one mistake?#so people aren't allowed to be human now?#I'm really opinionated about this so I'm kind of surprised at myself rn #because usually I'm a wuss like #confrontation?!?!#standing up for my beliefs?!#too stressful #too hard

STORYTIME !

Today was a special day ! Me and some friends scheduled a long-*ss meeting just a few hours ago, and it was really fun to see them again and talk with them

BUT HERES THE THING

Something you should know about us: we like to study HOOMANS. And more precisely, humans interactions, reactions and actions following the interactions. (It’s really fun)

Something you should know about the two friends I was with: they’re really tall (taller than me, and I’m kinda between average and tall I guess ?)

Something you should know about me : 1-my life isn’t really easy right now, I’m struggling with mental illnesses and it’s taking a toll on my health (mental and physical) so I was looking AND FEELING like sh*t today. Like, bottom-of-the-ocean-creature level of sh*t. 2-I’m easily flustered and these two f*ckers know it

Now imagine three really close friends. The one in the middle is shorter than the two others. The three are all engulfed in one big blanket. There’s a lot of mess, cups and paper pretty much everywhere with three distinct handwritings, if you look closer you can see that they’re notes.

NOW ONTO THE STORY

So the topic of platonic love was brought by one of them(A) and the other(B) immediately agreed that we should make a 45 minutes long-*ss rant about it. I’m like, okay, sure, no problem, I’m not good in this topic so I can use this rant to learn things from actual people and not Google !

(Spoiler: it was 2 hours long)

Now, can you, behind the screen, guess where these two loving, caring, perfect mfs are going ?

Pretty easy to guess, isn’t it ?

I’ve stated multiple times that my family isn’t very skilled in the art of showing affection. Hugs are a big no to them, kisses are an end-of-the-world thingie and them saying that they appreciate me ? I’ve never heard it !

One of my friend just decided outta nowhere to hug me (omg physical contact) and the other showered me with affection, love and compliments about how I’m a fighter and I shouldn’t give up

WE ALL BASICALLY JUST CUDDLED FOR TWO HOURS- IM NOT COMPLAINING I LOVED IT BUT GOD WAS I FLUSTERED HECK I EVEN CRIED

I’ve recently found that these two PLANNED IT. They knew I’ve been feeling bad today, and they planned this meeting. And I love them so fricking much.

#its really really really long isnt it #im sorry its so long but i wanted to share this story #idk why ?#i just love my friends so much #i love them #while writing i was thinking about that meme and i just kinda stated very loudly #cARefUL ChILdreN ThATS a LOtTa CoLOrS #it probably looked like a very big loving and comforting burrito

Drawing Daily in 2018!

Hi, it’s me - Eliza! I decided to draw everyday for 2018 and posted the process in instagram. Each month I did a drawing challenge and each month I tried out a new medium.

January

Creatuary: Mythical Creatures. I was lowkey doing the Creatuanary challenge created by dibujantenocturno, joshuacairos_art, and rafater_official. What’s fun about Creatuanary was that they tell you what the prompt for the day only so you can’t really pre-plan and just have to do things on the spot. I think it’s a really fun exercise. The medium I used for this month was the Zig Brushable Markers. They’re for calligraphy but I like doing art with them, they’re super nice. I highly recommend them to anyone. They’re kind of my go to markers. Though, I haven’t actually experimented with TomBows or the Prismacolors or Copics at all so I’d take what I say with a grain of salt.

February

Faebruary: Fairies! There’s also FaerieFeb hosted by archibald.art and maxineart. This was super fun. This was one of my favourite challenges. I don’t know if it was the medium I used or the subject matter - probably a combination of both! I used watercolours - a Palette of Prang - and I really enjoyed it. I hadn’t used watercolours since I was in high school and I remember not exactly enjoying the experience overall but within three days of painting fairies I’ve gone aboard the watercolour boat and I don’t wanna get down!

March

March of Robots: Robots! Created by chocolatesoop - MoR is super bomb. I used Stabilo Boss Highlighters for this month and my big take is HIGHLIGHTERS DO NOT SCAN WELL. Or at all. Also, I hear they fade. So, it’s not really a medium that has ‘archival quality’. However, it was super fun. I love using bright obnoxious colours. Everything just pops! Also! They give away brand spankin’ new wacom tablets to five lucky participants regardless of skill level! I highly recommend anyone join this!

April

AstroApril: Constellations and planets! I couldn’t really find a monthly drawing challenge I wanted to do this month so I decided to make my own with AstroApril! I love the stars and galaxy art is always great so I figured why not? And - I decided to use coloured pencils - I got a pack of Prismacolors. Two things - one Prismacolors are the best coloured pencils I have ever used ( I’ve only used student quality sets thus far so I might not have the best grasp of the best coloured pencil sets) - they blend well and are so so creamy it’s such a dream! Two - I don’t recommend using coloured pencils when doing galaxy art. It was fun sure - and I have a deep relationship with coloured pencils now that I have never had before but in terms of efficiency, specially with the subject matter - I highly discourage it. It took me a very long time to create each piece. I guess that’s just the way things are with coloured pencil but you can get the galaxy effect very easily with paints.

May

MerMay: Mermaids! Created by tombancroft1 - mermaids were fun! You gotta play with fluidity and it was a fun challenge trying to figure out which pose to do. I also considering it was May - Star Wars Month - enjoyed drawing star wars characters as mermaids. I used gouache for this and wow is gouache great! If you’ve never used gouache before, just imagine what would happen if acrylics and watercolours had a baby. I used a reeves set that was gifted to me. And considering its a student quality kit, it gave me a very nice taste of what could be accomplished with gouache. I’m highly considering investing in a more heftier set of gouache.

June

Journey June: the hero’s journey in art challenge form! This was great because it introduced me to a lot of cool new things like Creative Twitch Streams and the process of conceiving a story. Better yet! It introduced me to cloverkin and galvosaur the pair who created Journey June. They’re super cool hoomans and I recommend you drop by their stream. Also! I made a story! It’s about a hornless unicorn and he goes on an adventure to try and get a horn. I used mechanical pencils with coloured lead to draw my illustrations. They weren’t the greatest to work with considering the lead broke easily. I’d probably use actual pencils for this next time.

July

Julycanthropy: Werewolves! On the high of making a story from Journey June, I thought it would be fun to do another one for Julycanthropy. I used black paper and white charcoal/white coloured pencil for this. White charcoal is more vibrant against the black but white coloured pencil doesn’t smudge. It was a fun challenge to think in reverse and only colour the highlights instead of the shadows.

August

Smaugust - This is probably my least favourite drawing challenge I did this year. I used pentel oil pastels which I liked well enough but I just don’t think dragons are my thing. Also, I wished my country sold oil pastels per piece. My white oil pastel is very very smol.

September

Sketchtember: Sketches all month long! I sketched out hoomans! I’ve always wanted to draw humans but I’ve always been somewhat intimidated. I’m not so sure why anymore, they’re fun! I’m a little bit addicted. I used graphite and this little pilot lead holder - very fun, highly recommend.

October

Inktober: Inks all month long! Does Inktober really need an intro? Made by jakeparker - it’s just all about practicing your inking skills for the month. I drew more humans for inktober - this time with pet familiars! I used faber castell ecco-pigment and I used this fancy bristol paper. This was amazing. A pair made in heaven. I think I’d like to use maybe a brush pen next time to cover up larger areas but all in all no regrets!

November

Huevember: Colours all month long! I used Stabilo Chalk Pastels on Pastel paper! I decided to do the greek gods and goddesses and zodiac women. I’m not sure pastels are my forte to be honest. They’re fun but I guess they’re just not my thing. I really like the pastel paper though. They’re a bit pricy so I shouldn’t really be so surprised at how well they held onto the chalk pastels. However, because the pastel paper I decided to use was multi-coloured it was really difficult to tell the colour gradient between each piece. Kinda ruins the Huevember effect - Still a fun learning experience over all though!

December

Drawcember: Free Draw! There’s no particular prompt list for this monthly challenge it’s just free draw - which is a lot harder is some ways so I decided to make my own list again. I was inspired by the theme of demons and angels. I thought because of the free draw nature of the challenge, to use mixed media. This was very difficult for me. I ended up just doing portions of ink and portions of paint separately but ideally I wanted a more happy marriage of the two. I definitely need more practice in mixing the different mediums. But on the flipside - I was definitely pleased I was painting again. I enjoy painting a lot. Though - skin tones - very difficult to get right. It wasn’t too bad when I was painting demon skin or angel skin - but human skin has a lot going on.

General Thoughts

I honestly can’t believe I managed to do 365+ drawings throughout the whole year. It was both easier and harder than I thought it would be. You have good days and bad. I think for anyone planning to attempt this, take advantage of your good days - pop as much drawings as you can out and go easy on yourself during your bad days - you can always always catch up. Sometimes you just need a little break and that’s okay.

I learned a lot, made a lot of pals, and I’m definitely looking forward to next year.

Woo!

Best, E

IM DOING IT!

It's happening y'all! So get your... eyes ready cause I'mma explain what's up. I'll try not to get too long-winded.

Rules:

If you're gonna participate, then your goal is to draw one (or more if you really wanna go there) of my fox bois. Human form or fox form is acceptable, because I know hoomans are hard. I'll have references at the bottom of the post. And I don't think anyone would but please no NSFW, thankies!

I'm judging more on creativity than talent, so you don't have to be a master artist or anything, I just want y'all to have fun!

I'mma say only two submissions per person, but if you even do one I'll be estatic so like no worries. Just make sure you tag me when you post the art so I can see it!

Prizes:

(Both will be digital and full color, and again I won't do NSFW)

1st Place: Full body any character

2nd Place: Headshot any character

There's only two places because I don't have the biggest following, so I'm not sure how many of y'all will do this, and that seemed like the best plan to me.

Deadline for all submissions is August 4!

Hopefully this goes well... if you participate I wish you good luck!

Refs:

Lazu is the suave butler character and a silver/black fox- controls fire

Aonis is the sassy flirt with the pony tail and an Arctic fox- controls lightning

Finn is the tan bundle of joy and a Fennec fox- controls nature/plants

If you need more you can look through the tags "oc" or "kitsune" on my blog and stuff should come up, or if absolutely necessary you can dm me and I'll do what I can ^_^

@aquaace u told me to tag u

#art contest #angelofdarkrebellion #ocs #lazu #finn #aonis #*twiddles thumbs nervously*#if yall spread this around that'd help too #dont have to tho

In Squares: 09/17

September in a word would be sabaw. I’ve accomplished nothing. But this is my last term so I wish I’ll behave well in the coming weeks. This will backfire in a couple of days for sure.

My September in bullets:

Finally getting my hands on a few pastel Stabilo Boss Original highlighters

Trip to the grocery with the family

Satisfying my craving for Doppio’s matcha ice cream

Spending quality time with the books in the school’s library

Random dinner with friends

Making my own frappe (which is a total fail, of course)

Finally trying Nestea’s Wintermelon Milk Tea (so freaking sweet)

Late night trip to 7-Eleven for yakisoba

Learning how to boil eggs (via a kettle, lol)

Cat anon #2

Hi, no I’m not the anon from May who asked. For what it’s worth I know someone else in Winters has a cat. I wasn’t planning to bring my cat back in April, I only accepted my offer in May and I would have left my cat at home if my parents took care of it but they made it clear it was my cat, my responsibility. So what, was I supposed not to study at all until my cat passes away or someone else is ready to take care of it?

I know I broke the rules, I’m not asking if I was technically allowed because I know I wasn’t. Lots of people in Winters break rules, Idk if it’s because we’re all art kids and open minded and stuff, but there’s a lot going on. Idk how other residences are, I have friends in Stong and Bethune and it does seem that Winters is more liberal. Like I said, some people smoke weed, LOTS of people drink underage (our res dean is really cool, she said multiple times she doesnt care as long as we don’t get trashed and pass out or break stuff) but officially we’re not supposed to do that, yet some people do. I know another person has a cat. I know people invite their bfs over and they stay longer than the agreement allows them. Tbh lots of people dont respect the rules, but overall no one is hurting anyone and people are cool. I’m not saying I was right to break the rules but I had no choice and the rule was stupid, to be honest, I didn��t hurt anyone. My roommate loved the cat and she’s not even denying that now. It would be different if I broke the rule and my roommate suffered because of it (not liking cats or allergies) but I didn’t. Irregardless, I’m not asking for a lecture. You guys are students too, we should support each other and this blog is supposed to help. I’m not asking if I broke the rules, I know I did. I’m not asking if I was right to break them considering my situation (letting my cat, my baby, die OR not going to school for years to take care of my cat OR go to school and take the cat TEMPORARILY.) I think I was right, you guys might not think that, ok.

I’M just asking 1) Considering there is NO proof I lived with a cat, my friends will back me up, it’s my roommate’s word against mine. Will they expel me based on ONE accusation? For example, at my high school, you would be safe if most people backed you up. 2) Can I request to change my room/roommate change at this point in the semester? Or is it too late? What about an informal change - asking someone in res to switch with me, if they agree?

Just trying to get these questions answered. Not to be judged. And I fixed my situation, I begged my sister to take the cat and now she has her own place and can take care of it. A cat is a living thing, I couldn’t exactly leave her at home not to be fed, taken care of, taken to the vet, etc. And yes my parents would have let her die, they didn’t want anything to do with her even though she’s an older cat now and she’ super sweet (like I said, she never broke a thing, never peed or scratched anything, and she doesnt shed)

No need to be so defensive anon, you know what you did is against the rules so I’m not sure why you expect us to indiscriminately support you just because we’re students as well? That’s not how things work.

As H mentioned, the way to resolve this is to approach your Don based on the Residence website. They will pretty much be the only one with the authority to make a decision on whether you can switch or not. As H mentioned, I would recommend asking your friend to resolve this informally because otherwise it’s a lose-lose situation for both of you.

We can’t make a prediction as to what will happen if you’re reported since none of us have tried to sneak in a cat on res, but you could try asking the other cat owner in Winters to see if they have any experience :)

- A

Being an art kid or stating your residence as more liberal has nothing to do with it, your residence is downright immature and does not care about the safety of their students. This is how people end up blaming York for certain things, when in fact they have students such as the ones in your residence and yourself going around doing whatever they want and thinking it’s okay. Why do people think York is unsafe or have party people on campus - maybe they go to your residence and see all this crap going down.

Yes this is a blog where we support students, not where we support students doing stupid stuff. I’m not really sure what you wanted us/me to even say, you broke a rule, you don’t want to face the consequences, and you want us to help you get out of it - that’s not called support, that’s called helping you get out of your consequences. Most of us are mature students here and two are teachers, if you wanted an accomplice you should recruit your 10 high school friends to back you up, why aren’t they resolving your situation, isn’t that what friends are for? Please also let them know that when they get involved they will face repercussions too, especially when it comes to lying, universities don’t follow high school BS. I’ve literally seen Deans scoff at students when they lie, and trust me when you go higher up the ladder in level of authority at any institution you’ll find less sympathy for rule breaking (seen this with my own two eyes).

Lesson learned here, don’t send a question if you can’t handle to hear the truth, and don’t keep your poor cat cooped up in a small room with immature hoomans.

- H

P.S York does read our blog, so don’t blame us if your residence gets the smack down.

> Faq.

ask box.

1. How often do you update?

Sadly, I don’t update that much. I’m studying most of the time and I also have to take care of my health. I’m also badly unmotivated and I don’t wanna force myself to write. This is a hobby and I do it for fun. If I get inspired and I have time, I’ll update or write new scenarios immediately. I do write down ideas and prompts that I’ll carry out in the future.

IM SORRY boo’s

2. Do you accept requests?

Of course! If I like the topic and I got inspired by it, I’ll do it. It’s actually a help for me to get my lazy, unmotivated ass to work. I love to hear your ideas, keep it rolling in! :p

3. Will you be updating Glass Table Girls / Bonnie & Clyde? Or any other series?

I will update Glass Table Girls and Bonnie & Clyde, since I already planned to make it a series. But I do not know when since once again, I’m unmotivated. I’m sorry. But I'm coming up with new ideas real quick... Things just take time and school, feelings, life, basically everything is whooping my ass.

4. Will you be making a part two of _____?

The short stories I have written, no, sadly not, there won’t be a sequel. If I do say that there will be a part two coming up since the entire story was too big to fit (that’s what she said) in one, then there will be a part two. But since it’s a one-shot and that story ends that way, you may think of what happens next tho :3

5. What’s your bias list in Bangtanshityeondan?

After a few years, I have finally sorted my bias list. I'm kidding. I don't have any bias list in BTS. I love them all so fucking much, I would probably sell my soul to them directly.

6. Which k-pop/non k-pop other groups or music to you listen to?

Oh, god. This one is difficult because I almost listen to every genre except overrated pop from the US. Apologies. But I do have playlists that contain almost 100+ songs that I adore. I like indie and alternative, punk, rock, some metal, house, k-pop, hip-hop, rap, a little of old-school jazz, blues, and soul. + The other group that I hardcore stans and that I’m also utterly in love with is Mamamoo.

Artists I highly recommend:

Rainbow Kitten Surprise

Arctic Monkeys

Chet Baker

Gorillaz

Radiohead

Cigarettes after sex

RADWIMPS

Chad VanGaalen

Two Feet

Yaeji

🌹

About me: Call me Van | she/her | 17

Enfp, proud pansexual!, east-asian (Thai-Chinese)

Height: 167 cm

My friends says that I look like a koala... So imagine that.

I write scenarios sometimes, but mostly I’m studying, reading, drawing, sleeping, eating my hearts out, crying and staring blankly into emptiness. I’m open-minded, stubborn and think way too much than I suppose. I’m a melancholic hooman and struggle with some personal issues. Also desperately trying to love myself. But I have Hobi as my sunshine so everything will be fine!

Likes: lame puns, overdoing jokes, reading, travelling, art, architecture, dogs, sleeping, food!! - especially seafood, indie/rock music, the weeknd’s voice, contemporary dance, playing games, fashion, nature, all animals basically, spreading love, COMING UP WITH NEW IDEAS

Dislikes: meat, school, my big ass tv forehead, my panda eyebags, feelings, being tired, writers block, crying, liars, gender stereotypes, stupid/close minded people, Nazis, racist people, homophobes, (basically anyone who look down on animals, people, climate change deniers) + people who complain way too much ;c

Me and my quilt friends at the exhibition

This weekend was the first quilt exhibition WITH MY OWN QUILT in it! Exhibitions will never be the same from this day onwards. Unless they are without my work of course, then they will be very normal. But all joking aside, I sent my quilt in because I wanted to know how it feels to exhibit my own work and also because sharing is caring. I can tell you that it feels amazing to have my piece hanging there among other quilts as if it’s nothing. It’s a proud moment.

My part of the exhibition was organized by the national quilt guild in the Netherlands of which I am a member. Because of that, I was allowed to send in a piece fitting with the theme ‘Lineplay’ (Lijnenspel). Me and my quilting group, the MOQingbirds, decided to send in some work as a group. In the picture at the top, you see them admiring the quilt I sent in. Besides checking if they put up my quilt the right way around I, of course, also went to admire the quilts of other people and to browse the numerous shops that were attending. I’ll share some pictures of the quilts I saw and I will tell how I made my own.

A miniature quilt exhibition in Rijswijk

This is the Nearly Insane sampler quilt by Salinda Rupp and Liz Lois. I always love to see quilts I am making myself as well.

The nearly insane quilt: a machine quilting sampler

These are quilts by Klazien Hoomans. She told me she bought a lot of red fabric to sell in her shop, but I think we can all see what she did with that fabric…

A MASSIVE quilt. Left is my mother who joined me in this awesome exhibition experience. This is a quilt by Hilda Hoogwaerts.

Three versions of the Delilah design by Jen Kingwell. They had even more versions of this quilt and I loved to see how diverse the same pattern can look.

Some mini quilts that were particularly good in my opinion.

Behind the Lines, the story behind the quilt

Behind the Lines is what I called my quilt. A very fitting name for two reasons. This quilt is made to represent my mental health and how it is sometimes a battle between a lot of colours and cheer and darkness. I am always fighting for the sun to burst through and chase the dark thoughts away. The uneven triangle shapes signify the awesome creative chaos in my mind drifting who knows which way always surprising me. Behind the Lines in that sense means that there can be a lot behind someones cheery enthusiastic appearance.

The second reason is when I asked people what they saw in the quilt I got so many different cool interpretations that I don’t even care my own plan doesn’t come through very well. If art is creating something people have ideas or emotions about, I am very pleased to hear my quilt has that effect! In that sense, the title Behind the Lines means to look beyond the title, and the idea of the maker of the quilt, and to see in it whatever you want. Once you finish and exhibit a quilt, it is not only yours anymore but the quilt becomes part of the world for everyone to interpret. So I am wondering:

What do you see in this quilt and what does the title mean to you?

Look behind the lines mini quilt

The origin story of the quilt

Before I even left for Kenya I started sewing together random scraps of triangle-shaped fabric. The picture below shows the result:

The idea was to create a chaotic looking blanket. How interesting that idea might be, I lost motivation to continue, so this project ended in a box. When I and the MOQingbirds started thinking about our Lineplay quilt I remembered this project. The random shapes of the triangles create an interesting ‘Lineplay’. However, it was not until after my adventure abroad that the idea for this quilt was fully matured. By then I had learned how cathartic it can be to make a quilt or embroidery about something that’s on your mind. I was looking for ways to explain to people how I felt and how my mind works. To show that its’not only colour and happiness and cheer. Making this quilt also gave me peace of mind to accept that life is a never-ending balance between light, darkness and everything in between.

How this quilt is made

The triangles are appliqued on the dark blue background. After that, I added batting and backing and quilted through all the three layers by machine. For the triangles, I did Stitch in the Ditch, where you sew through the seams. This is a way to make the quilting invisible. In the dark blue fabric, I quilted distorted lines to signify how the mind can sometimes lose track and get messed up.

The sun rays are made by hand with the stem stitch embroidery stitch. That one creates a turn in the floss which makes the rays look alive. I used about six strands of floss in different colours. You can see the turning movement in the picture below.

The end of this story

And that’s the end of another story. As you can see, sometimes you can start with the plan for a quilt, which ends up looking different. Good, but different than expected. Personally, I notice I need to start sewing to have a better idea of the direction I am supposed to go. This always makes it a surprise where I’ll end up which keeps sewing always interesting.

The whole experience of the exhibition and sending in a quilt was so nice. It is inspiring and a lot of fun to see all the quilts of the other people. You can get so many ideas and learn so much. But also I learned a lot by sending in my quilt. I even put a label on a quilt for the first time! But the most important lesson I learned is that it is good to share the things you make, even when it makes you nervous or when it’s not perfect. People love to see what you make and especially fellow quilters will almost always react with buckets full of encouragement and praise. And who knows, maybe your quilt is just the inspiration somebody else was looking for?

Would you like to know more?
