Taking a snooze.

i do not trust people who shop at shein i'm sorry like there's no excuse for it. i can understand amazon, i can understand a lot of fast fashion, but shein is uniquely awful. and their clothes fall apart in a week so you can't even keep them and mend them. "but i'm poor" okay and you don't need to buy from shein about it. "they sell shirts for $3" so does michael's check ur local craft store and make a design urself if u want. you cannot seriously tell me that you had no other option other than shein

Sorry this is kind of long overdue but here’s all of the Zelda related things I made prior to wolf link!

Yeah they’re kind of cursed…

In order they are:

1. Octorok (Minish Cap style)

2. Ravio (he’s… seen some things lol

3. Korok! My very first one with needlefelting lol

4. Town minish

5. Forest minish with the town minish! Can you tell I was playing minish cap while doing these creations? XD

6. Navi

7. Blupee (my worst creation ever but enjoy the nightmare fuel)

um... dick is bruce's little boy... always and forever... just a little boy to him...

But I forgot the one thing that all counselors should remember. You can't skip to the end of healing.

STAR TREK: PICARD S03E08 “Surrender”

[inconceivable high pitched delighted noises] 

need to turn a 20-page text into 12 pages

it took a long time to write these words, I don't wanna delete theeeemmmm

I've been thinking about the degree of loss experienced by Laudna, given the last episode. Not in relation to her actions, but in her experiences in general. And it feels so infinitely vast...

She lost her life at the hands of the Briarwoods in a horrific way. With the responsibility of a better future for herself and her family, she ended up serving as an effigy just because of her apparent resemblance to a person she had never heard of before. She was separated from her parents, then tortured, and they also died in circumstances that have not been detailed. She woke up hanging from a tree in a body she didn't fully recognize as her own. She was stripped of her identity until she lost even her name at some point along the way. She was unable to return to her home, either because it no longer existed or because she had to flee the town due to her undead status. Maybe she couldn't carry too many belongings with her, or she lost them along the way—her most valuable belongings were part of the costume she wore when she died. She also suffered a sudden plunge into total poverty. An even deeper one than what she experienced during her previous life. These losses were not only deeply personal, but they also represented the loss of a whole community. And just like that, Laudna found herself to be the last remnant of a past that no longer exists as it once did.

I've been thinking about how we'd see those days depicted. I envision the undead roaming the streets of Whitestone, amidst the wrecked streets and ruined buildings, and the corpses strewn across the ziggurat. How many bodies? How many lives? She lost not only her family, but also her neighbors and the people she frequently encountered in her daily life. It's the absolute loss of everything she has known. The erasure of her Whitestone.

A community is a source of identity for those who belong to it. Every community possesses unique traditions, values, social norms, and a wealth of knowledge cultivated through generations and countless interactions. That's all part of Laudna's loss, too.

After everything was set and done, the survivors of an event like the one that occurred in Whitestone surely relied on each other to begin rebuilding their lives. They searched for their loved ones and found a way to honor their departure. At the same time, the collective established strategies to deal with the destruction of both their bodies and their lifestyle, their economy, their political institutions, and their human capital (how many family lines simply ceased to exist?). Over the years, they managed to re-establish their identity as Whitestone residents in one way or another.

But not Laudna. She woke up to the desolation of a completely destroyed community, unable to access validation for the atrocities experienced. In the blink of an eye, she was transformed into something foreign. To the point where her name, along with those who shared the same fate in the Sun Tree, is undoubtedly absent from the historical accounts of the events. Was there even time to do something for them? No one in her family survived, so no one searched for her. And as far as we know, no one took the time to put a story behind those bodies either.

She lost her life in every sense. She lost her body in a variety of ways. She lost her community and was left behind when it was time to rebuild. What happens when the conflict seems to be over for everyone except you? When peace talks take place while you are still struggling to survive? When it's only you, the memories, and your killer's voice in your head?

Sometimes I think about Laudna's loss. And I'm struck by the brutality of those initial moments and their heartbreaking manifestation years later.

Adderall fueled cleaning binge commencing post long term project 😎👍

Seriously I don't think I've been this productive in years it's frankly bizarre

Hopefully I'll be able to indulge more in fandom soon 😭 I miss y'all

Does anyone else scream at the sight of cygate or are you all normal

Hello everyone! I would like you to meet the little guy I have been working on for the past week :)

His name is Mareczek, Blade of Olimar (A.K.A Marek), and as you can see, he is a Yellow Pikmin.

He is pale because I created him in a fit of creative malaise and hellsite-related frustration, and was too impatient to wait before I could get the right shade of yellow yarn. I ran out, and that's why he has this sick graft-arm instead.

I like to think he lost it valiantly in battle, narrowly escaping the jaws of death. "Rendered Unto Mars" indeed 💖

More details beneath the cut~

I did the flower by hacking a coaster-tutorial the very talented Mhalee's Crochet put up on Youtube, doing a row of triple-crochets over each of the petals-- It was so, so very janky. I filled the in the gaps by the edge in tying up the ends; the sewing is what gives it its shape and I'm honestly surprised it looks this good.

I made the floret-disc separately. Also! If you look closely in the main pictures, you'll spot the calyx :) I made using the Summer Flox flower by Pora Pora Crochet on Youtube. She has so many lovely tutorials, it's insane.

Little test flower, with my lovely cat for reference. Ended up being wayyy too small for Marek himself(thus the coaster-hacking), but it's be perfect for smaller Pikmin.

Also, as one final note:

I have this to thank for spurring me into action. Marek did end up needing a wash at one point(alas, it is why he is so baggy), so this meme has well and truly been fulfilled.

I hope you're happy, 4chan Anon. Marek has you to thank for his existence.

Feel free to use!

Every friend group has one of these friends and you cannot deny it

(Oc collab art! also I hope I did a good job on drawing keppino)

BEHEHEHEHHE those descriptions are so charming to me bc in reality these traits can be changed so fast due to Piepoe personality and Keppino personality. One moment Piepoe is cinnamon roll, the next he is completely quiet and pissed off/annoyed with anyone around due to social uncomfort or grumpy if caught at the wrong time. Meanwhile Keppino comes off as the edgy friend, when you'd find her getting her nails painted bright soft pastel colors with other critters and like, making flower crowns...!!!

BUT YES!! YOU DREW KEPPINO PRETTY ACCURATELY!! Especially Piepoe too,,, very very lovely and so round!!! I appreciate!!!!! Thank you so much !!!‼️‼️‼️‼️💖💓💘💖💘💘💓💘💖💘🥺🥺

those kind of art help posts or whatever where they're like "nobody is shaped like this" because often at least some people are

Is Sir Falspar taller than Sir Dragato or are my eyes tricking me? Your art looks so cool

:0 thank you, you'd be correct anon! It took me a while to finally incorporate their (semi-canon) H&S heights into my art, but Falspar is the tallest of the GSA orbs, and Dragato is one of the smallest! 

To most species outside of them, the orbs are all considered relatively small, but a few inches or centimeters in height can be a big difference between them personally. As a little extra, here’s a rough list of them in order of largest to smallest in H&S:

- Falspar and Nonsurat (the tallest and around the same size, Nonsurat's armor makes him appear slightly larger)

- Galacta Knight (not quite as large, but considered above average)

- Arthur (average sized for the adult orbs)

-Dragato and MK (both these two are smaller, though MK often appears taller due to his habit of standing on his tiptoes)

-Kirby (the tiniest, he is baby)

Unfortunately for all the orbs, I don't think any of them are actually taller than a Cappy.
