Thank You For Letting Me Try It Out, I'm Glad You And The Other Crumpets Like It! 😸

Anyway, happy Out of Touch Thursday-

FELLOW ASMR YARNIVORE AAAAAAAAAAAAA-

THIS LOOKS AMAZING, YOU DID SO GOOD!!!!!

I made a Mage Bunkshelf’s Mitch sweater

I started it a while ago but I had to wait for some yarn to restock. This had a lot of firsts. It’s my first Sweater (my hubris didn’t allow me to use a pattern, I just made one up as I went), it’s my first tapestry/intarsia crochet, I also learned how to crochet with my left hand, alternating right and left between rows to always be working from the front, and I learned how to knit for the ribbing. Sadly it’s getting to warm to wear it now, but it’s going to see a lot of use when it gets colder again.

It is currentlyyyyyyyy... 1:30 in the morning and slightly-feral Nyx is in charge, so here's how I view the moots:

supercool and I'm comfortable enough with them to ask them about their day and show my chaotic side (screaming with them over some random topic of conversation or screaming in awe at their work)

supercool and I chat with them via reblogs/comments

supercool but we both lurk so I usually see them in my feed and like their reblogs because they reblog a lot of good stuff

supercool and currently my only DM to them was a check-in just in case they needed one, also usually seen in reblogs

supercool but I think they're super busy so usually interact via reblogs/comments/asks

supercool but I think they're super busy and I contacted them out of sheer impulse; will awkwardly send a message relating to a previous topic but for the most part reblogs/comments/asks

Ok, ok, so I told my bestie about Gator Boys because the audio fixation is real and it's something I keep bringing up in chat- anyway I sent it to her and she's WATCHING it and I'm really hoping she likes it- also she's a HUGE animal nerd and she asked if I think the boys can bellow like actual gators (I said yes, I think they would-)

Okay so like- Albus and Devlin- ah-

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

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-

Mmkay, so... hyyyyyyyyyyypothetically, if I wanted to get into Good Boy Audios this weekend-

Where do I start

Is there any set lore pattern/series I need to watch in a certain order

Please tell me that THIS will be the British VA I avoid getting hooked on.

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
