Early crochet harvest of Valentine's goods...

How the frick did I end up down this RABBIT HOLE-

6 months ago, I was subbed to ONE ASMR channel. ONE. (AlakazamASMR, love that guy, he's chill).

Decided to try listening to @scytheaudio today cuz hey, why the heck not, I'm already trapped listening to 5 other people, pretty sure this one won't get me.

TELL Y'ALL ONE THING THO. THE OTHERS DIDN'T HAVE ME HOOKED FROM THE FREAKING INTRO.

*is now trapped listening to 6 people this is FINE-*

ASMR RANT Pt. 2: Thoughts after binging Obsidian Lantern's and Mage Bunkshelf's channels

First ~ Next

Please be warned the following rant is very long and chaotic- again-

Listen I need something to keep out the voices-

Obsidian Lantern: Bro is overpowered for real, smh....

Mental state: *currently planning another trip to the bayou. For reasons. Important reasons. Shut up.*

Favorite series: Making a New Home/The Heart, Gator Boys, Vampire Friend

Series I thought I'd dislike but ended up loving: Dating a Zombie

Random notes:

An art GOD. AND MAKES GOOD STORIES. PICK A STAT, OBI, YOU CAN'T HAVE ALL THE TALENT-

See the one thing that I have trouble with is that if I'm watching their channel, I'm WATCHING, I can't really switch to another tab or focus on my crocheting else I'll miss the backgrounds (HEAVEN FORBID I MISS A BACKGROUND TOO LIKE-).

Another sandwich lover, sandwiches are life ✊🏾

ALSO HERSHEY IS ONE OF THE GOODEST BOIS I WUV HIM

Knows the meaning of slow burn. And knows how to write a good one. I'm going crazy, PLEASE EITHER OBINOA OR SAVELDDREN NEEDS TO GET A MOVE ON, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, THEY'RE SO CUTE-

That Gator Boys Q&A stream where Obi ended up getting stuck in Timmy's accent is my Roman Empire.

I like the lengths for most of the episodes- like they seem to fall in the 10-15 minute range which is really nice because I can listen to a good portion of a series in between my classes.

The Bloodmoon AU and Betraying your Vampire Friend were sooo good, I love horror AUs and audios.

Mage Bunkshelf: I really, REALLY, need to get away from Tumblr-

Mental state: *distant muffled screaming can be heard, can find her with face shoved into pillow*

Favorite series: Fallen Angel, Rancher & Knight, Introverted Incubus, Respawn (CAY MY LIL TRAUMATIZED MEOW MEOW), Old Vampire, Kitsune, Raccoon Boy- ok there's a lot SUE ME-

Series I thought I'd dislike but ended up loving: "Yandere" Ship AI (NO CUZ YOU KNOW WHAT, FRICK THIS SERIES, I HONESTLY DID NOT EXPECT TO LOVE THIS WHAT THE HECK-)

Random notes:

WHY. ARE. ALL. THEIR. CHARACTERS. SO. FREAKING. CUTE-

JUST THE SOFT BOIS- AND I LOVE THEM

LIKE NEM AND JACKSON AND MITCH FREAKING BROKE MY HEART, THE POOR BABIES-

LURED ME IN WITH THEM, HOW DARE YOU PLAY ON MY FEELINGS LIKE THAT MAGE.

I mean then you got people like David and Llyr who aren't really in the "soft boi" category BUT AAGH- IF THEY'RE NOT CUTE THEY'RE SO FREAKING COOL-

One thing I really liked and can't emphasize enough HOW much I liked were the emotional moments? So like in Episode 1 of Introverted Incubus where Jackson admits exactly what he is/needs and breaks down. Or in Fallen Angel when Nem's telling their story. Also Episode 2 of Neko Listener when the roommate also turns into a neko. I don't know, it felt like Mage made it really easy to feel their pain or shock at the moment through their voice acting... I loved that so much.

Underlying messages... my mother LOVES to analyze movies and books for the hidden meaning behind them and I started to do that with audios lately lol... I felt like there were a few I could see in some of the stories.

Same thing as Obi about the episode length, easy to digest and short enough to listen to between classes.

AND LAUREN CREATES DID ART FOR SOME OF THE CHARACTERS, MY GOATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

*finds out they did a reading of The Raven. Which is my second favorite Poe writing.*

*listening to Respawn* *finds out Obi voiced the latest character*: "Omg Obi, yayyyy!" *realizes that was the latest and last episode in the playlist*: "OMG OBI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" 😭😭😭

Psychological horror my beloved aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

THE TEMPTATIONS OF SATAN KILLED MEEEEEEEEEE

(also I stumbled upon this post... My immediate thought was "THEY JUST LIKE ME FRRRRRRR" over how they struggled with receiving compliments... second thought, in my opinion, MAGE DESERVES ALL THE COMPLIMENTS- seriously, they're one of the best VAs I've listened to so far??? Idk, I've just had such an amazing time on the channel, I've loved SO many of the stories- I just have a happy glowy feeling inside rn-)

MITCH IS MY CHILD NOW. HE'S JUST LIKE ME FR FR OMG- BABY RACCOON BOI I LUV HIM AAAAAA-

Also ah... I need a new channel to devour now SO IF Y'ALL GOT ANY RECS LEMME KNOWWW THANK YOUUUUUUUU-

Anyway, happy Out of Touch Thursday-

Should I visit London? If so, please recommend some spots! Would really appreciate it🤭

It depends on what you want to see. There's a lot!

If you want museums (all free, just book a ticket of what time on their website):

The British Museum

The Natural History Museum

The National Gallery

If you want the tourist places (structures):

The London Eye (if you go online you can find tourist attraction discounts if you attend multiple places)

Big Ben

Buckingham Palace (you can get tickets to tour inside)

St Paul's Cathedral

Royal Albert Hall? (you can tour it but it's better seeing a performance there tbh)

If you want to go to markets:

Camden Market

Portobello Road Market

Borough Market

Covent Garden Market

If you want to say bye bye to your money:

Camden Town (Camden in general is amazing for punk/alternative/vintage fashion and food)

Tottenham Court Road/Oxford Street/Piccadilly Circus/Leicester Square (all walkable, tons of shops, musical stuff, M&M World, and Chinatown for great food)

Westfield? (There are two in London in the east and west. They pretty much have the same stores but they're huge malls with a cinema and food court)

There's a lot more but this is off the top of my head.

THANK U HUN 😭🖤🐈‍⬛

Update on the Crochet Ilves Crest Tapestry-

That's approximately how much I've done in a week.

Feeling pretty good about this! The crown and birds are going to be torture but it's still super fun.

There's been a few mistakes in the pattern and while I've been working on this, but I'm satisfied with it so far.

Yeah no problem! Can't wait to consume the rest of your content like I've done with the others...

(... gosh my emotions are gonna be a wreck I know it)

I apologize for the person I became last night after 11 pm, you will be seeing her again-

"Blue Infinity" is now on my favorite audio series of all time list, we're adding it to the playlist.

Escaped, you did freaking amazing with this. The writing, script, soundtrack, all of it, just the storytelling was so freaking good.

And the cast was incredible, goshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... still loved how Scythe sounded like Captain Barbossa while playing Claw (freaking love Captain Barbossa). Also Saku as the Water Spirit was peakkkkkkkkkk.

(Also I really love this ⬆️, most of the time when I follow a creator, it's because they interact with their audience lol)

Why are the people in this circle so freaking cool. And is it a circle? Possibly a polygon of some sort...

(I have a headache, I should not have stayed up so late. Worth it tho)

The Ilves Crest Crochet Tapestry

I locked in last night lol, just finished this-

Original design by ZsakuVA, border pattern by naztazia on YouTube, tapestry pattern made by me on Stitchfiddle.

Random notes:

So the actual stats of this thing: The actual creative process started January 23 (I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR THAT LONG?!?!?!?!!?) when I asked Saku if it was okay to try crocheting his design. Crocheting took a little over 7 weeks and ~108 hours? But with a bunch of interruptions due to college and family stuff. Luckily I bought more than enough yarn to finish this, since I found out a week after I started that JoAnn was closing (they had the best yarn selection I'd ever seen too 😭). It is 57.25 in. long (~1.5 m) and 47 in. wide (~1. 2 m).

I thought about making this like- an actual wall-hanging tapestry, but as it got longer I saw that it made a really nice blanket so I decided to just keep it as a throw. Definitely my biggest project to date...

Crochet list is still going for the VAs lol... I kind of want to make a wearable for myself though, so one small plushie attack to take a break from the big projects, then I'm going to make myself a spiderweb coat! If anyone has ideas on what I could make for the VAs, I'd love to hear them- Saku's down, for Nora I want to make a giant stuffed onigiri pillow... I think for Scythe I want to make JayJay's red panda plushie Advoo, but I feel like I could make something more epic. For Escaped, Mage, and GBA I have no idea what to make.

Anyway hope you guys like it!!!! This was super fun, and I'm really really proud of how it came out.

And thank you Saku, your work is super inspiring and I hope I did your design justice!

Cheers, lovelies <3

Passages from audios that have stuck with me, pt 3.

Escaped Audios

"So what? Maybe I do see the world in black and white. But when you've lived in darkness your whole life, black and white is all that you see." (Matador Gothic Part 3)

"I met a girl, Dad. I met a girl and she's so fucking beautiful. I met a girl and I wish I knew what to tell her. It's a long, long, crazy story but... I just need to know. Why aren't you here, Dad? Weren't you supposed to teach me to be a man? Why did you have to die, Dad? I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what to tell her- [...] I wish you would talk back to me for once. Maybe you would know what to do." (Matador Gothic Part 3)

"Perhaps it is difficult to see the light when you are its source [...] When you are the light, you see only the shadows you cast." (Der Wolfsjäger Chapter Five: Valley of Death)

"Were it my eyes that were taken, I'd never forget your face. Not in a thousand years." (Blue Infinity Part Six)

"I hate the way that you have infinite potential and yet you sit here, looking at your screen, talking to a robotic imitation of a man. You could have everything I want, EVERYTHING! But here you sit, in your pathetic box of an apartment, eating disgusting manufactured food, working your meaningless little job, keeping your head down, never looking at other people, never touching them, never taking down the smallest of challenges, avoiding even the briefest moments of human connection." (ROM3O: Your AI Boyfriend Finally Gets a Body)

"Oh... it's simple. I'll be back even if you kill me. I'll be back because when you wake up from this dream, you will still hate yourself just as much as you always have. I'll come back because your lonely, pathetic life won't change. You'll never change. You can't change." (The Silence: Lucid Dreaming with Your Dream Boy)
