Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling, wielding their weapons of choice and sporting matching frowns!! I love being commissioned for works that I already yearned in my heart to make. What a treat. ❤️

This was requested to be a sort of follow-up piece to the piece I made a while back of Jiujiu with toddler Jin Ling! This one is meant to be the two of them later on, dressed to impress in canon-era. No matter how much taller Jin Ling grows, his grumpy face still matches his uncle’s!

#jiang cheng #jin ling #zidian #the untamed #mo dao zu shi #papercraft #my art #paper art #papercutting #the gradient on jiang cheng's robe gave me ALL KINDS of trouble but it looks nice! #had to use so many different shades of purple to get a smooth gradient #that didn't shift back and forth from warm to cool too much #I had very few purple markers when I first started watching the show and NOW. A plethora #you're worth all the copics JC #gotta give my all when depicting his fashion-plate clothes

So I got Cooper in fallout shelter and sent him to go fight deathclaws and shit but now he's back in the radio room and I think he'd love that. Brings him back to the days of prewar joy :3 I mean look at that smile just get this guy a horse and he'll be the happiest ghoul alive.

If anyone drew Cooper in a radio room I think that'd be adorable.

Fiber arts (crochet and knit, especially) tip I found helpful: It's great to be a yarn snob, but first, find what you actually like to work with. When you're beginning, you might be working with acrylic, and that's fine. There are plenty of great options for acrylic, and even that one material can be vastly different between brands (honestly, I think people don't recognize this enough! Acrylics are actually a diverse material!). However, you might like working with other materials more as you progress, and it's good to see what you'll like! I've been working with 100% cotton recently, and I really, really like it - much moreso than the acrylic I bought when I first crocheted, and I never knew that I would have liked it more.

It's okay to work with whatever you can, especially when it's your only option. When you get the chance, though, think about some things you like in a material. What textures do you like? What colour options do you prefer (bright/muted/natural)? What is realistic for you when it comes to caring for your projects once they're done? These are all important, and they're things that are specific for you. There is no such thing as a "bad material," only materials you like and want to use. It can be intimidating to feel like you're not at this pristine place of yarn-snobbery, but truthfully: it doesn't matter as long as you make things that you like, and being able to explore what you like can be really helpful.

#art #fiber art #knit #crochet #i think this could apply to other forms of fober crafts but i'm not well-versed enough to make such a sweeping generalization <3 #i know sometimes people use 'yarn snob' to say that they are very specific in what they like and that it's not indicating... #...that they think they're somehow 'above' a person with less expertise or experience... #...i just think sometimes beginners can be (understandably) intimidated by all of it... #...and you can start really over-thinking your decisions and if you're Doing Art Right rather than just Doing Art #it's the Doing Art *Right* that will often set you back #it's OKAY to use whatever is both available to you and is of a quality you like #like i don't MIND acrylic - the one i'm using for the fazbeanie is an acrylic... #...in fact the fazbeanie yarn (Big Twist 100% acrylic in chocolate brown) made me learn that acrylic can have really nice softness... #...and it's a very smooth acrylic too. this other skein i got for practice was. very unpleasant for an acrylic #ANYWAY. rant over. for now.

Lyss has ruined me... I can't hear any of the songs from alien stage without thinking of rainw orld...

#like the ivan and till vers of my clematis is so so so pebbles and suns #I can even see the banter as them #just suns looking at pebs dreamily saying my universe HGHRNNGGG #also all the songs are just way too catchy #the main bit of ruler of my heart is just so smooth and yummy #The vocals and energy for unknown till the end got me so so giddy #and just my clematis is my go to thing to hum because it's just so pretty and nice idk #I probably would have found a way myself to relate it to rainworld if I didn't see lyss's stuff but still #If I didn't make my hand tired from hatching I would draw something for it #anyways ramble over uh go watch alien stage and check out lyss if you somehow haven't #*explaodes*

made a clay faced plush puppet. his name is rufus say hi :]

i got to try out a paper clay recipe to make his face as opposed to polymer (since i dont have any lol) and while there are some downsides to it (a little tricky to sculpt with, has to be sealed to keep it from being water-damaged) i think its real neat (and eco-friendly may i add)

#i love how he came out and and!!! his face is super duper durable!!!!!!!! #his face is a little bumpy too but thats bc the clay wasnt super smooth which is something i need to work on recipe wise #but for my first attempt i think hes really nice :) #clay face plush #ooak plush #plushblr #custom plush

Uh-oh! You are like, SOOO awkward!!

You're so awkward that it is occasionally mildly uncomfortable for people!

You're so awkward that sometimes people are confused by you and then there are awkward silences!

You're so awkward ...... that ultimately no one is harmed!!

Oh damn!!! What a vile crime you have committed! What an unforgivable thing it is to make a fellow human briefly confused!

Why, if *I* were ever briefly confused and kind of uncomfortable as a result, I'd be devastated.... by the absolute net zero change in my happiness and health! - From which I might never recover!! Yes indeed! No punishment can ever be enough for you!!

So you better absolutely hate yourself for it.

Better be SO MEAN to yourself about every single missed social cue so you don't forget your horrible crime! Meaner than you'd ever dream of being to someone else for the same thing! This is YOUR responsibility!

Better accept that idea that bullies carry like guns in holsters - the idea that people who have trouble with social cues should suffer. Better carry on the burden they placed on you. Aid the cause of the callous by enforcing shame and suffering upon yourself extra hard; try your best to do their work for them. They're very busy.

Better not recognize that you need patience and kindness to heal from your trauma. Better not find out that it was trauma rather than personal weakness filling your head with self-hating thoughts. Better not find out it wasn't your fault.

Better not find out that awkwardness is not inherently harmful or unkind, and, in fact, the people who act like it is *are the ones enacting harm and being cruel.*

Better not get righteously angry when you realize just how much unnecessary damage this has done to you. After all, if you get mad, you might realize you deserve better. You might even feel brave enough to DEMAND better! You might build boundaries that keep you safe! You might make other people think they deserve to feel safe too! And we obviously can't be having that, so...

Better not show yourself even a little kindness a little bit at a time.

Better not make a habit out of it after all that practice.

Better not get confident.

Especially if you can't first wipe out every trace of awkward. (And you probably never will. Because people who experience absolute social certainty at all times tend to be insufferable assholes that enforce the status quo. And you just don't have the stock portfolio for that.)

Better not be confident and awkward because then you might confuse and delight people

- you might accidentally end up making other people feel less shame for their social difficulties

- you might make isolated, traumatized, and shy people feel like they deserve to be included in social situations

- you might even make them feel they can be themselves around you

- you might start loving the effect you have on a room

- you might enjoy conversations more

- you might forgive yourself and bounce back from shame more easily and frequently

- you might come to enjoy some of those moments of harmless confusion you cause because NOBODY expects the Confident Awkward, and that can genuinely be an advantage in social situations

- you might stop apologizing so much.

- you might find that socializing is like a video game: it requires practice but also a safe space for it to be fun and positive.

Or if you can't become assertive and confident, better not remain awkward and shy and quiet, and then love and forgive yourself anyway!

Why, it would be carnage!!

In either scenario, you run the risk of finding out that it's not your fault that safe spaces full of kind people can be really hard to find, create, and nurture. You could end up building a skillset that helps you do those things!

- You might realize that it was never your fault that it took so long to like yourself.

- You might realize that you were always worth talking to, even when you didn't like yourself and communication felt impossibly difficult.

- You might realize that you'll still be worth talking to even if communication becomes harder as you age and/or experience disability.

- You might know that you deserve to be heard even on bad days when words come slow and blurry.

You might discover that you were always deserving of kindness, first and foremost from yourself.

So. As you can see, it's FAR too much of a risk to take to cut your awkward self some slack for your many heinous and harmless crimes. Better to just leave it there.

#social skills #i have a few posts now in my ' social skills' tag #original #maybe eventually I will compile them and polish them in some meaningful way. I know what I want to call the book title #in big text it'll say 'I'M AUTISTIC' and then beneath that in smaller text 'And I Have Better Social Skills Than You' #or something to that effect. and the cover of the book will be me making an exaggerated smug face like the little rascal I am #challenging the viewer to pick up the book and see if they can prove me wrong. #and then the entire first section of the book is about how actually the issue with our society's social skills is the harsh judgment #for people who have trouble communicating and not the other way around. I don't actually think I'm the #most charismatic person in the world by a very long shot. but i do know that I have put more thought into my social skills than #most allistic people and frankly i have surpassed most of them. not because i am more persuasive or smooth or funny #(tho i am persuasive and funny lol) but bc i have questioned which social functions are more restriction than utility. #and instead i have focused my energy on actively learning how to make people feel safe. i feel social rules would benefit all people by #being a little more autistic tyvm. i don't think every person should dedicate themselves to being better at communicating #i think people should dedicate themselves to being kind and patient to everyone regardless of their ability to communicate #I think our society wrongly links communication ability to intelligence and intelligence to level of humanity. #when in fact all three of those things are fucking unrelated and connecting them inevitably leads to #really fucked up views on disabled people that hurt us. and then with that aspect of the book firmly understood and established I would #go on to recommend some ways to make socializing easier and more fulfilling (and less shameful and terrifying) for all kinds of people #it wouldn't be a book about Leaning In To Succeed in Business or 'here's how to avoid being the awkward loner at a party' #it'd be a book about how if you see someone alone at a party here's how to invite them to join your group without pressuring them #stuff like 'hot tip! if someone takes a while to type or speak a full sentence - talking over them b4 they can finish makes u an asshole!' #I know that a lot of people cannot or don't want to dump a lot of skill points into socializing like i did and they shouldn't have to in #order to experience basic dignity and respect. if we treat people like that then we just validate that people - especially #autistic children and elders and disabled people of manu varieties - have to suffer unless they learn all these arbitrary bullshit rules #and a lot of them are arbitrary bullshit! one of the reasons I throw people off so much is because I harmlessly break a lot of social rules #but I know I'm doing it and I'm not ashamed and people just don't know what to do with that! but a lot of them like it actually!! #i think it's a relief to be around someone so openly and unrelentingly weird bc what am I gonna do? judge you for being weird?? #I only care if you're kind. not necessarily 'nice' or passive. Kind. Brave enough to care about people being treated well. Kind. #also I recognize that at least some of my ability to be openly weird is white privilege so that's important to acknowledge too
