#catch up august

[flufftober]

Better late than never!

You still have some WIPs lying around from last year? Or better yet, they're finished by now, you just never found it in you to post them late? Or maybe you weren't even here last year but you like the prompts?

In that case, we have good news for you 😁 introducing:

Catch Up August!

A month in which you can publish your previously unpublished creations from flufftober2021 as if it was October 2021 again, day by day. So on August 1st, post your creation for prompt 1, on August 2nd, post whatever you've created for prompt 2, and so on. We'll reblog your work as we did before.

You don't remember the list or the rules? No worries, check out our post from last year!

Tags to make reblogging easier for us: #flufftober2021 #catch up august #day [x] #[fandom] #[ship/character]

Make sure to either mention or tag us - we'll check both, but tumblr is weird sometimes. So to be safe, do both.

“Surrender now, unless you’d like to see the inside of Davy Jones’s locker!” She held her blade to the sailor lass’s throat to make her point, holding fast to the sailor’s hands to keep her from causing any trouble.

“I don’t mean to put up a fight,” the sailor stammered. “This here is just my little supply ship, to bring food and drink from port to port - and for the weary travelers out at sea.”

“Search the decks!” the pirate captain ordered and her men stampeded across the deck of the little ship. Only then did she lower her blade, though she kept her grip on the sailor’s hands. “I hope you have enough supplies to share with me and my crew.”

“Certainly, if it’s to your liking I could prepare a feast for you and your crew tonight in my own kitchens.”

“And you ask nothing in return? Not gold, nor jewels, nor sights unseen?” The pirate captain grinned.

“I would not dare test a pirate’s generosity.”

“You are a clever lass.” She let the sailor’s hands go. “I accept your boon. Where are these kitchens of yours?”

The sailor led the pirate captain past her enterprising buccaneers, down into the hold of the small ship, into the dark, smoky kitchens, lined with tin and hung with dried goods, where one of her crew was already enjoying some cured meats left out to dry.

The captain stepped aside and motioned for the sailor to begin as she had promised. “Tonight, we shall have a feast.”

“There are some supplies I shall need,” the sailor said. “Eggs from the chickens, and a barrel of meat from below.”

“Do as she says,” the pirate captain said to her crewman.

He eagerly ran off to fetch the supplies and alert the rest of the crew of their good fortune.

Soon half the room was ablaze and the air rich with the smell of meat and spice and baking bread. The sailor worked at what must have been a frantic pace, but seemed only natural, chopping here, kneading there, stirring, tasting.

“You are a craftswoman,” the pirate captain declared. “And you could have no more appreciative an audience.”

“You are too kind,” she said but did not look up from her work.

The captain stepped nearer, so the sailor nearly bumped into her as she turned from one task to another.

“If you are going to stand in the way, you may as well help,” the sailor said, though she immediately faltered.

However, the pirate captain acquiesced. “What would you like me to do?”

And so she joined in kneading and chopping and stirring. They danced across the galley, passing each other one way then the other, one step nearer, one step back, reaching and twisting just out of each other’s way.

And then she stopped directly in front of the sailor, catching her flour dusted hands, her sweat and soot streaked hair in wild disarray, and stole a kiss from spiced lips.

“You could have a place on my ship if you liked. The best ship’s cook in the fleet.”

“And what if I refused?”

The pirate captain released her hands. “If that is your will.”

The sailor smiled. “I will consider it.”

i'm late to this year’s art review thingy bc I had a reeeally busy december and then left my laptop behind when I came home so couldn’t finish any drawings or get my files 🥲 anyway I’ve been reunited with it now so!!!

it’s been a weird but mostly good year!! i started my first proper job in the anim industry and moved house twice. there’s tons of stuff i wanted to make this year but couldn’t find time for bc of the amount of. everything. going on all the time. it was actually a bit hard finding art to fill the spaces this year, which is why i had to stretch my little amount of sketchbook week stuff over two months. it’s been a little bit frustrating - i feel like i’ve learned so much from my job but i haven’t had much time to do anything to show it, but i guess that’s the trade-off. it’s cool being a small part of someone else’s idea but that means i get less time & energy for my own. i want to try and strike a better balance between the two this year and i really hope that soon i’ll be able to share the thing i’m working on i’m literally gonna die of excitement 😭

it’s been really cool getting to make more content of my ocs and see ppl enjoy it, you guys and the nice comments you leave are everything to me. i hope this new year is kind to everyone and thanks for sticking around <3

some of these i haven't posted so to give due credit -

*feb was a gift for @ewwgene-fitzherbert of our blorbos <3

*september is fanart of @the-hilda-librarians-wife’s amazing OC meiri. there will be more

#looking at this it was a VERY oc centric year which is cool #the guys in august are also my ocs just not hilda for a change..i wanted to do a series of drawings to set them up and post em all together #and then the season 3 news came in with a steel chair #ill come back to them #that dec drawing of arwen i finished literally yesterday but bc i sketched it out on paper over xmas it still counts as last year ok!!!! #wife got me thinking abt what her winter outfit would be. her fault <3 #im sorry to say i decided for some reason she still wears tights they're just probably rly woolly ones so she doesnt catch hypothermia #hilda the series #art tag

Found this adorable bakery pattern on etsy a couple months ago and decided I wanted to gift it to my coworker as a farewell gift once I started my trainee job.

I didn't want to start working on it while I was still applying to places though, as that felt like a) very bad priority setting/ time management and b) a jinx. So I started as soon as I'd signed my trainee contract a month ago and have been doing barely anything else ever since. I set the deadline as my last day of work originally, which would've been last Saturday, but I ended up mostly working at another branch shop for the last three weeks anyway, so I'm going to bring it to her either tomorrow or on Wednesday.

It's the first cross stitch pattern I've ever done, as I only started stitching a year and a half ago and have been mostly focused on blackwork during that time. (As a result I wildly underestimated how long a cross stitch pattern this size would take to complete orz)

#cross stitch #crossstitch #crafting #i'm looking forward to catching up on ALL the shows and also play some games while i have the next two weeks paid time off #and then it's off to the new job on august 1st #embroidery

Come.

Come.

We call to you on Hallows Eve at witching hour,

‘Neath chocolate skies and milky moon,

By sweet-scented candle and sugar-red sigil,

With ‘butter cup and candy corn, lollipop and malted ball,

Toffee, taffy, gumdrop, bubblegum, butterscotch, licorice!

Candyman, Candyman!

Come from dark sugar’s confection domain,

Candyman, Candyman!

Come from the deep bubbling caramel pits,

Candyman, Candyman!

... 

A breeze stirred and a dainty figure, spun of pure sugar danced across the floor. After her marched a platoon of chocolate bar soldiers, and squat gumdrop children atop lollipop stilts, with little taffy dogs bouncing on their wrappers. A whole marching band struck up, with peanut-butter cup drums, and lollipop guitars strung with strands of gum, and lutes of hollow licorice. Figures of sugar and chocolate and gumdrops swayed in time with the music…

 ...

“Good morning, sleepyhead.”

The soft press of warm lips drew her reluctantly into awareness and she followed them with a groan.

“What time is it?”

“Almost afternoon.”

She sat up and tried to rub the sleep from her eyes. Everything still smelled of sugar from their revelries the night before. The floor was still spread with bright red jam in the shape of a pentagram, with candy piled in the middle, and more scattered around the floor, where she didn’t remember having left it.

“At least we don’t have any classes today.”

“Small mercies. I had the weirdest dream… Maybe I ate too much candy last night. It was like the dance of the sugar plum fairies in here.”

“Well, since we don’t have any classes today we’ll have a chance to clean everything up, so there shouldn’t be any sugar plum fairies left to haunt you tonight.”

She stuck out her tongue. “Whose idea was it to try to summon the Candyman from his sugary domain?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You’re the worst roommate!”

“And that’s why you love me.”

Another sugary kiss was more than enough consolation, not that she would admit it.

thank you so much to everyone who's been supporting my bag store! you're all absolute stars, and have been helping me out so much as i try to drag myself across the minimum income threshold for self-employed in the UK. i'm almost there!

there's 4 drinks totes left, 3 fruit totes, 2 oranges totes and just 1 mushroom tote left at reallyhardy.store, plus as winter approaches and cold and flu season comes upon us i also have a few simple folded face masks on there too.

#as a life update i went to my jobcentre appt last week #and ugh what a drama. she was like 'well you had a good august' because i was working for the art gallery in the summer #but then she was like 'but we need to see consistency. you're halfway through the startup period but your average is still...' #'half of the minimum income' which. screaming and crying lol #because like well its freelancing. it's not GOING to be consistent really #but i think if i can do more markets and especially up to xmas #that should boost me a bit #plus i mean i just temporarily closed comms but #i'll re-open them again very soon just need to catch up

[just-an-enby-lemon]

Sometimes I remember this is a real actual scene in Dracula and my soul leaves my body as I'm thorn between wanting to murder Seward and laught at the pure stupidity of it all:

Seward: What will happen if I let Renfield scape from this horrible place that treats him like a subhuman creature?

Renfield: *tries to scape*

Seward: 👁️👄👁️🤯 what a scientific discovery!!
