My Mother: *watching Me Finish Up The Border Of My Tapestry* "You're Going To Have Withdrawal Symptoms

Shadow fit I crocheted for the movie

Quick proud big sister moment:

My lil sis had an art stream today where she worked on finishing up her latest Sonic OC x canon comic- less scuff than before which is great but also Sherrydoodlez (one of our favorite Sonic fanartists and pretty well-known in the community) stopped by to watch her stream!

And she’s already getting into the habit of reminding her chat to HYDRATE. Specifically calling me out because I refuse to XD

Kid!Me: “I can’t wait till I’m an adult so I can stay out late and have fun with my friends!”

Adult!Me: *currently spending Friday night at home with my twin and my dog, watching Spy x Family and crocheting.*

… Yes, I made a cup of tea while writing this-

Hellooooooooo lovelies, need some help with the tapestry if you got a minute-

And these are what the stitches would look like:

Also I'm not sure what color the border would be?? The background is gray, so maybe the dark purple I've been using to help tie in the design.

Okay, maybe a hot take- I don’t want the Earis and Zaros to have an enemies to lovers arc. I mean, if it happens, great 👍🏾

But I think I’d rather them be rivals to allies/friends. I feel like it’d fit their dynamic more (just my own thoughts)

*HAS YEETED STUDYING OUT THE WINDOW-*

When the angst king makes fluff, awwwwwwwwwww XD

*head currently buried in hands* I messed up the dove.

*distant scream of disappointment*

THAT "S" THOUGH. LISTEN. L I S T E N -

Also I measured its length, currently it is 2 ft 3.25 in long (~0.7 m rounding up)

Just realized I haven't shown you what the back of the thing looks like, one of these days I'll get around to showing you the chaos cuz OOH BOY-

I'm kicking myself, I got the actually decent looking wing over here that I was really proud of- and then freaking long ahh birb like what the actual frick.

ALSO THE CRAZIEST THING TO ME- I just now ran out of my second skein of yarn. Repeat. This whole thing up till now has only used up TWO SKEINS OF YARN. That is wild to me for no reason, ignore me, I'm being crazy again-

I still need to find the right buttons for the border. ALSO SPEAKING OF WHICH, if any of y'all want to help me pick a border stitch for this thing, I'd appreciate it-

I got four ideas rn-

*drops stack of notes on your desk* YES I DID, AND I FINISHED A FEW SIDE QUESTS TOO-

I have questions, comments, an issue, and a few random thoughts if you can stand my chaos, good sir...

The question: DID ALFONSO'S DAD ACTUALLY SLEEP WITH CARMEN. I NEED TO KNOW, DANG IT.

The issue: you are making me choose between the Spaniard and the Scotsman for my hubbie and I don't like it-

my list of fictional crushes has only grown since I've gotten into ASMR... the list was already long enough...

The comments:

First off, I really like Alfonso's character. Specifically the fact that he's not already a famed vampire slayer or anything, that he's still low in the ranks of the Guild and he's trying to live up to the memory of his father. I also enjoyed how the confession scene in Episode Five was written. One of my BIGGEST pet peeves with romance tropes is when someone says "I love you!" after TWO DAYS of knowing the other person (I'm looking at you, Disney). But here, it felt like it was taken into account that Alfonso and the Guest hadn't known each other for long and were thrown into a very stressful and emotional situation. So yeah, feelings were probably going to be a result of that, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was "love" to begin with... but it could become that. Saying "I want you" made it feel more honest, I suppose.

Second, loveeeeee how the video was set up (I watched the story compilation btw, probably should've mentioned that). But the way the background shifted with the situation was SO cool. I've noticed that before in your other series, not sure if I've brought it up yet, but it really helps with the immersion as well as giving me a better idea of what the setting is. Also- SOUNDTRACK. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE SOUNDTRACK.

Third, I thought it was epic that you did it in English and Spanish. Also neat finding out that you're Spanish, that was cool. My family's Puerto Rican, so I can understand the language (if you speak it at very slow pace and are very patient with me) but I personally can't speak it. I love hearing it, though, and I want to learn it properly lol.

Mmkay, that's enough of sane Nyx, time for my chaos-

"Alfonso, shut up about Carmen, Carmen is my QUEEN, I LOVE HER, she shall be the tía of our children when we get married-"

"This is probably not at all canon but Alfonso looks like Inigo Montoya from Princess Bride in my head- where's the actual design for him-"

*is once again deceased at confession scene raaaaaaaaaaaaaagh*

"Scythe, you did it again, this villain is epic."

"Ok so we have werewolves in here, which probably means that Der Wolfsjäger might be connected...? Possibly? Bro, these mythic transformations do not sound PLEASANT, AUGH-"

"OMG WE GET TO TRAIN TO BE A VAMPIRE SLAYER LET'S GO-"

From the Matador Gothic spinoffs:

In "Proving Yourself to Your Vampire Master", I could literally see it all playing out in my head as an animatic, which makes me furious that I can't draw well.

"Infiltrating a Vampire Nightclub":

"These tight pants reduce my mobility."

Me working on my sweater vest: "Pretty sure you look great from behind, though-"

"And stop looking at my butt!"

*drops crochet hook* "LORD, I PROMISE I'LL BE MORE WHOLESOME, I'M SORRY-"

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BUT WE'RE ENGAGED NOW!?!?!?!?!?!?" *internal squealing intensifies*

"Not in Front of Dinner, Darling"- the tea. Just. All. The tea. I was literally sitting there with one hand covering my mouth listening to everything go down. Like yes, this is very entertaining, I could absolutely just sit here while y'all sort out your relationship- ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY- SIR?!?!?!?!? Also, dinner would very much prefer to NOT see any ravaging of ANY sort... thank you...

OH and the Goblin series, decided to watch that before Matador Gothic... listen, I'm all for teaching people about the magic of Christmas and what not, but if I got locked up for a year because of that little imp AND it's wrecking my house when I get home, I'm getting the baseball bat again, I'm sorry. It was a great series, 10/10.

*checks notes* Aaaaaaaaand that's about all I got for tonight. Or today. Take your pick. Bravo, Escaped, I enjoyed this once again... don't know if I want to watch Wolfsjäger yet, I might go for New Jersey Rats, since that's another finished series.

Thanks againnnnnnnn, happy holidays!!!

Episode three of Matador Gothic:

"How much of that did you hear?" "... Enough to say I hope we get married by the end of this story?"

Listened to the "Soda Can Bully" and "Cute Microwave" audios.

10/10. Currently pulling out my inhaler.

Never again.

IT'S THE SAME ENTITY I'M TELLING YOU- *she yowls before she's shoved into a carrier and taken to the pound*
