#this is what crocheting a baby hat does to u

[theloveinc]

There's a lot of validity in the idea that older Bakugo is a traumatized pro-hero with major PTSD... but you know what's kinda fucked up to think about? The fact that Bakugo is also a 22-year-old pro-hero with major PTSD even before that, too.

It's almost easy to imagine that things are actually better when he's older (the therapy finally a routine, the trauma long set and on the path to being healed)... and that it's his whole 20s that are spent as a pool of disaster trying to recover from the war(s).

He looks back and barely even remembers being twenty, much less twenty-five or twenty-seven. Barely remembers how little he slept, not at the hands of trying to balance hero work and getting a degree at the same time, but just out of the pure insomnia that came from trying to move on and every nightmare attached.

Hardly ever showering, never shaving (not that he ever grew much of a beard, but the facial hair was definitely there. There's pictures of him on the news with an awkward, grown out haircut and patches on facial hair that make him look positively... immature), barely even eating more than a few protein bars or an energy jelly drink-a day. It's a blur, and his friends are hardly there to pick him up out of it because they're all going through it, too. Somewhat.

It's definitely weird if you meet him during this period. He's not all there, at least, not all of the time. He doesn't really register your interactions, the friendship you extend to him (a younger, or ever older, version of him would've shown you that deep seeded ferocity in response, tried to bite the hand that fed him, even if it were love... but 20s Bakugo... doesn't seem to notice). Even though only one of his eyes is clouded over, the good one never seems to brighten up.

There's definitely moments when the old him shines through: when he's with Deku, when he's in the midst of battle, when he finds out that Todoroki still does a shitty job at chopping scallions. But it's a long time before he's even close to the same, able to step out from underneath the fog of simply surviving and into the sunshine of recovering.

But I think sticking through it with him is worth it.

(It's a weird moment, a happy moment, the first time you realize that Bakugo has changed. That the pouring rain outside hasn't bothered him since he showed up at your apartment. He forgot his umbrella, he's been quite careless ever since the war—wet and shaggy hair frizzed up, cheeks red from cold—but he doesn't seem to mind, with his bare feet up on your coffee table, his eyes gazing out the window. You hand his tea, and instead of gulping it down in one go, letting it burn in his throat, he winces at the heat.

"Tastes like shit," he says, and you laugh because it always does. Just this time, he noticed.)

#bakugou x reader #bakugo #this is what crocheting a baby hat does to u #no im jk i was just thinking abt bakugo being like 22 and awkward as h*ck bc he still hasnt recovered from the war #i wanna talk abt what he's like more but this is what came out instead LOL #like i think he's really stubborn abt ... coping with after effects of dying #and then before he knows it he has major depression LMFAOO #and he can like go to work get his degree do all he needs to do as a 20-something year guy #but he's not like. *there*. you know #and you meet him and he's a binch but he's not hard to get along with #and u just sorta take him in and drag him places like idk #your school's halloween night.. or even just a night out with ur friend (he doesn't even know how to order a drink) #and he doesnt even process it all until one day he's like 'dang it feels like ive been asleep for years' #and he kinda was #but he knows youre the one who helped him and now he wants to fix himself for you bc he remembers u being there for him #but he's so funny im imagining him with like. frat boy facial hair and a really outgrown ugly mullet type haircut #and lowkey with like. greasy skin (ik he's perfect but he's in a bad state and it shows) and he eats instant noodles ever day #and only watches japanese top gear #and goes on patrols where he beats the crap outta ppl and then doesnt remember it #DREAM BOY #and then he's big hero later #anyway #caitie post #gen

u may have answered this already but. if danny n tim are both around. how. how exactly does danny come to even be in a position to work at the institute in the first place.

follow up there’s that interaction between jon n martin in s3 where martin mentions hannah and her baby. my question is. is danny the type to make gifts for new mothers. And if so. Is it bee themed

1. After Danny's lil excursion, he ends up staying with Tim for emotional support as he tries to do some research to figure out what happened to him, has it happened to anyone else, what the fuck, etc. He's less looking for revenge and more just looking to make sense of things. Tim, who Didn't get his own glimpse of Grimaldi in this au, is there trying to tell him not to let it consume him and hoping he finds another hobby to distract him. He's very out of his element in trying to help Danny in this situation because something this serious has never Happened before with Danny. He's mostly just housing and feeding him and fruitlessly telling him to go to bed at a reasonable time.

Danny's research turns up very little, until he finds The Magnus Institute, which looks Very Promising. Unfortunately, he needs fancy credentials to get access to stuff, and he Doesn't Have That. Tim, despite his degree, doesn't either. He would need a job there to gain access, but that Also requires credentials (but less)(you gain your spooky credentials there, he figures) soooo.... he fakes his CV (he and Martin are gonna bond so hard) and gets the job in research behind Tim's back, and when Tim finds out he is So Stressed but also can't really stop him so just tells him to be careful.

In short, figuring out what happened to him basically became Danny's new Thing after urbex, and Tim has never been able to stop him from doing these things.

2. He totally would make gifts for new mothers and I think he'd WANT to make it bee themed, but would only do so if it fit the baby's aesthetic (like some people do forest themed baby rooms (bees would work) and others do like. Ocean (bees would Not work))

He would crochet a stuffie, or sew a lil onesie I think. Maybe make a blanket if he had the time. A lil hat, even.

#fg's answers #asks #tma #tim stoker tuesday #feat danny #stoker swap au #cursing #i love answering these kinds of questions cuz they get me closer to Writing or at least drawing more of this au #they get me THINKIN ABOUT IT!!

modern avatar headcanons/scenarios pt 3 because modern avatar is forever in my head. implied(ish) universe where everyone is human but interpret it however u want.

part one here!

part two here!

lo'ak likes the song asap by stayc. this is so random but i can just imagine him vibing to the song in his room. be wearing a hood over his face and sunglasses even though his room has quite literally never seen the light of day and staring off into space like "😐" while the song is playing in the background like "🫧🌸💕🌈🥰".

ao'nung surfs. this is literally non negotiable. he does.

rotxo is a big brother. i'm pretty sure everyone can agree even though it's not canonically confirmed but that boy definitely has like 2 or three little sisters. speaking of which he'd be sooo good with kids aswell! especially babies.

kiri has a sanrio pfp. probably my melody. and what abt it fr?!

neytiri is very religious. goes to church every sunday and drags jake with her even though that man is a full blown atheist. but i feel like he'd do it anyways without complaints just because he loves neytiri so much.

lo'ak used to post depression quotes on his instagram story but stopped when he got absolutely slammed by kiri and ao'nung when they replied to them. homeboy would post some "i'm so tired:(" and then kiri would slide up like "go to sleep then🤣🤣‼️🙏".

this is a continuation from the previous one but one time lo'ak found out his middle school crush liked neteyam and posted on his snapchat some shit of him listening to juice wrld with the caption "js got my heart broken dhmu." then ao'nung responded with some shit like "who?? THE FUCK ASKED😐😐🤣🤣🗣️🗣️🗣️.

out of the entire sully family i can see kiri being able to tolerate spice the most. she probably loves spicy food actually. and then jake is the worst with it. when i think about it i can see tuk liking spice aswell.

tuk watches those youtube gacha videos. has probably made a few gacha music videos aswell that actually ended up getting quite a bit of attention. she has told NO ONE about it though. homegirl is living a double life.

lo'ak scams kids in adopt me and thinks its the funniest shit ever.

y'all ever seen those videos of that one guy playing magic tiles with their toes. yeah that's actually ao'nung. he does it at family reunions to show his little cousins and tsireya watches with her jaw slack and the most flabbergasted expression on her face from the other side of the room.

neteyams got leds set up in his room. yeaaah bitch has got COCKROACHES behind them leds and he doesn't even know it.

tsireya really likes sweet scents, i honestly see her either smelling like vanilla (victorias secret bare vanilla!! SOOO GOOD) or like ariana grandes cloud perfume (broo that shit smells so good). that girl smells like heaven in a person fr.

kiri crochets. it's literally true. makes her own tops and stuff and they look so good aswell. she's even sold a few little hats and crop tops to tsireya.

during 2020 kiri painted her door a cow pattern and yes she regrets it.

as kids, when everyone was playing just dance kiri was the type of person to put literally no effort into her movements. the girlie is doing the bare minimum and literally looks so bored like "😐" yet she would probably be getting perfect every single time and lo'ak has always loathed her for it since he was the guy to be doing the absolute most. practically bouncing off the walls with his dancing and definitely the one with the most energy out of everyone yet he'd probably come last or something.

btw lo'ak SUCKS at dancing.

neteyam works at mcdonalds

lo'ak and tsireya have study dates where tsireya tutors him because let's be real guys lo'ak is failing all of his classes except for like p.e

spiders the type of guy to walk into the sully household, uninvited, scream "i'm home!" and then ransack all of their cupboards and steal from everyones 'secret' stashes.

tsireya likes anime. i can see her being into like action (bsd or some shit like that, man idk i don't watch anime) or some comedy romance. she probably forces lo'ak to watch it with her, and at first he's kind of resistent because he thinks anime is lame but give him an hour of aot because that boy is literally gonna be so invested afterwards. the next day they gonna have matching hanako and yashiro pfps prove me wrong.

rotxo always gets sick. one drop of rain will land on him and he's out of commission for the rest of the week with a fever. everyone is very concerned by how easily he gets sick.

neteyam on the other hand literally never gets sick. well more like he has too much pride to be sick actually because that man will haul his ass to school even if he's on the crippling edge of death. be walking around school with a runny nose and no voice yet be swearing on his own future grave that he's absolutely fine. man go home.

someone save me i had no service for a full week man🥲🥲 also just watched te matatini SO BEAUTIFUL. i may or may not make a part 4

i miss fexi. here are some headcanons. 

whenever lexi tells fez to stop doing something he’ll snort and be like “what’re u gonna do, kill me?” as a joke but lexi will get so wide-eyed bc she’ll be reminded of his lifestyle and what he’s been through and her face will immediately just DROP and she’ll get so sad that fez looks up from whatever he’s doing and is like “shit no ok im sorry baby pls i was just kidding, it was a bad joke it was a bad joke pls don’t cry-”

fez ties her shoes for her whenever her laces come undone and she blushes. he has never felt more proud of himself than when she is wearing shoes that he has tied.

bonus: one time suze walks downstairs to see fez in the doorway tying lexi’s shoes before they leave for a date and nearly has a heart attack because it looked like he was proposing to her

lexi tries throwing a thanksgiving party with all her friends and ethan and fez are basically the only guys there so they sit in front of the tv. ethan puts on the football game because to him fez seems like the type to like football. fez does not understand shit about football. neither does ethan. they do not know this about each other, so they sit there for like an hour trying to act like they know what’s happening— nodding when it looks like a touchdown, shakin’ their heads at the refs when they hear booing in the crowds, all while remaining very quiet. it is very awkward. it takes them half the night to admit to each other they don’t know shit and that they were just watching to make the other one happy. then fez puts on little house on the prairie. ethan mimicks the voices and fez finds it hilarious. after that they become best friends.

on the topic of thanksgiving, lexi also crochets him a roast turkey hat. he puts in on and she giggles saying “oh god you must think it looks so stupid” because it does. it is ridiculous. he stands there with the most deadpan expression while looking in the mirror. a few seconds pass and he smiles. “heeheeeee ooh, i look good as hell rn” he says. and he wears it ALL THE TIME even though he does not. in fact. look good as hell.

lexi asks fez if he would still love her if she were a worm. she does this at 3 am one night, and all he does is just “[processing]” so she’s like “ok nvm that was a dumb question” and goes back to sleep. but then THREE DAYS LATER his brain finally processes it and randomly brings it up at lunch one day like “so… by you being a worm… did you mean like… your mind being inside a worm? like your personality n shit? or would you have like… the mental capacity of a worm?” lexi smilses amusedly but answers his question seriously. he ends up saying yes, he would.

PROJECT 14!! I TOOK A BREAK FROM PATTERNING RICHAS!!

oh boy!! this took all of quarentena part 1 to make!! its been a few years since i made anything mesh so whipping up this hat in? what 5 and a half hours? maybe 6? i have not checked the vod time and i was also Cooking Dinner during a portion of it so time is hard to judge on how long this actually took. but it was fun! it Did reawaken my urge to crochet a mesh shirt even tho i would never wear it because it would be so uncomfortable. but making mesh is just so very mindless in a way thats good for me. maybe i should make a mesh blanket to scratch that itch.

we have an array of models for this item! to try and show off the mesh say hello to the bobby i made back in? oh the beginning of april i believe? i dont think any of you have actually seen bobby he might have been a twitter exclusive, say hi to bobby. we also have green garlic my bulbasaur showing off the mesh the best i believe!

QUARENTENA SEASON THOUGHTS! YES I AM CALLING IT A SEASON THERES GONNA BE 2 EPS. SEASON 1 ONLY HAD 3 EPS. THIS TOO CAN BE A SEASON!

i am blown away by how fun this group is and the skills they all have to roleplay in a second or third language for like 6 hours with basically no breaks to speak their natural languages. that is taxing to do and to deliver a story on top of that? i am so proud and impressed with all of them. also holy shit????????? no one fucking died???? i was convinced when the oneshot, now season, was announced that it was going to be a dungeon crawl that ends in everyone dying. i cant believe theyre all still alive after that?? AND THEN THERES ANOTHER EPISODE IRL NEXT WEEK?? i cant wait for the tpk next week!

i love this entire cast of characters theyre all such weird fucking guys in the most complimentary ways. I LOVE THAT WE BASICALLY GOT A SAW MOVIE??? THRIVING!! in a move that shall surprise no one. diego is my favorite. look at him. he is guy of all time to me. BUT OKAY THEYRE ALL WEIRD and usually when you have a cast of weirdos theres always someone who doesnt gel but they all did!! they all fought each other!!! but they all still complimented each others insanity and. this is what the party comp is To Me

i am too lazy to open photoshot for this tonight. maybe you get it proper tomorrow<3

i loved the ending. i loved the slow realization on everyones faces that in saving themselves they might be killing the world and still themselves!!!! also i cant wait to see the fall out next week. i am so fucking upset my dnd game is scheduled for around the same time so i am going to miss probably the first 2ish hours but i know my dash and the official!!!! twitter updates account!!! will catch me up on those two hours so i can jump back in. but AAAA oh i loved this. i dont know if it was on purpose that this felt like a zero escape game at times but oh man the production quality in this vs where m at in season 2 is just mind blowing. i knew it got better once they started being in the studio but this was so great for a home game. ALSO YALL GO CHECK ON AMY??? GO GET THE KID??? YOU CANT JUST LEAVE THE TRAUMATIZED BABY ALONE AFTER EVERYTHING U DID TO KEEP HER ALIVE??? GO GET HER?????

AND ALSO?? STUDIO NEXT WEEK?? BRAZIL MEETUP??? OH I AM SO PLEASED TO SEE IT ALL AND WHAT HAPPENS. this is def my longest update for this silly crochet project i started just a few months ago and i apologize but also. i dont because this show does mean so much more to me than i know how to put into words. and its been a long time since i fell in love with a tabletop universe this quickly. and i feel so grateful that i got to be introduced to this ttrpg earlier this year, and got to pull some friends into watching quarentena tonight because theyve heard me gushing about how good this universe is and how i trust this to be satisfying horror which is so hard to do in ttrpgs, but thats another post for another day.

#a ordem crochet #opq #<- mainly because i talk spoilers in this i dont usually fandom tag these posts since i am usually talking about a 3 year old campaign #who anyone who follows me either has seen it. or will not watch a show in ptbr so they dont care if i spoil #fiber art

[puppetsoftomorrow]

I need pregnant!sara/legends headcanons cause my mind is still stuck on all the possibilities this pregnancy can give us more behrad/sara friendship 🙈

yess!! okay!! i also need this!

behrad: i think behrad wants to record his kids tv show album so he starts singing with his guitar in the galley at sara, and sara initially finds it weird, but the baby Loves it and starts doing cartwheels whenever behrad starts to play. when she's born, behrad's voice is sometimes the only thing that can calm her down (she inherits ava's temper lmao) so the legends occasionally find behrad softly singing and playing the guitar whilst sara rocks the baby in her office

zari: okay firstly, zari gets Very jealous of sara's bouncy shiny pregnancy hair. she then also takes it upon herself to plan the baby shower (which is ruined by the legends who turn her suave baby shower into a rainbow-streamer-fest) and then onto the nursery. somehow she transforms a corner of ava and sara's bedroom into a zen nursery thats So pintrest, complete with a giant dragon plush thats actually her own merchandise

spooner: when the baby is born, it doesn't take them long to realise spooner has an empath connection to the baby, and ava, terrified at getting it wrong, starts finding her when baby laurel cries being like why is she doing this!! and spooner sighs like. she wants to be rocked in a dark room. you're doing fine. it takes a few weeks for ava to trust herself enough to stop doing this

astra: astra stays out of the way most of the pregnancy, though she does get them a gift at the baby shower ('my first spells and potions' board book lmao) and ava eventually realises its because astra sees herself as too ... closed off to bond with the baby, so when the baby is born, ava encourages her to come hold the baby whilst ava makes herself food or smth. the baby absolutly wins astra's heart and she becomes way more confident, and they find her floating objects over the baby's head whilst baby laurel giggles

gary: gary spends his time doting on sara, until ava finds gary bringing sara her 5th cherry milkshake of the day (she has a craving okay) and tells him to stop, until sara starts begging ava to get them ("you knocked me up! it's the least you can do") and then gary's back on as delivery boy lol

gwyn: he is Overjoyed at the news of a new baby (if a little unsure how it ... happened) and he's determined to welcome the baby into the world properly, so he offers to sit with the baby and read to her, and he's happiest sat in sara's office, a stack of books next to him as he reads and talks to baby laurel, and she just looks up at him, eyes wide. he also fights with the fabricator until it produces the perfect little floral smock dress for her

gideon: after ava bans gideon from talking about her Extensive knowledge of babies and childbirth and pregnancy, gideon takes it upon herself to help, so she helps ava baby proof the waverider (no small feat). she also wants to suprise them with something handmade, so she takes up crochet. after nine months of weird lumpy creations (and a lumpy yellow hat for gary which he Loves), she presents the newborn baby laurel with a lopsided teddy bear all in rainbow colours. the baby loves it

and idk about booster bcos we haven't rlly met him yet. i hope this is what u had in mind!!

Heyyy, I hope you’re doing ok! I love ur blog and I know we’re strangers who will possibly never meet but Recently, the little things have pushed me over the edge and close to an anxiety attack I presume but I’ve been using knitting and crochet to cope. It sounds weird Ik, but may u do the brothers and Undateables with an MC who does that and MC just ends up making so much stuff in one day that she gives it away to them. I’m so sorry if it’s weird, pls feel free to choose whether to do it or not but this blog has made me a little happier than before, thank you for reading and being here!

I actually use to do knitting, never finished anything and lost interest but it was really calming and fun. Couldn't keep my attention for long as it was very repetitive and got boring quickly but I always just genuinely enjoyed it despite that?

Stress knitting seems like the most wholesome way to handle anxiety and stress, it helps you focus on something else, you're being productive and having fun aswell as being safe! Though do be careful with the needles

And thank you for being here and supporting me, I'm glad I could make you feel even a little bit happier, a small amount of happiness is better than none! So thank you for making my night with how kind you are! Your habit and anxiety relief isn't weird at all, I don't see how it could be weird tbh

Sorry this took so long, I feel stupid now but I got really stumped on some of them on what to make but now I'm laughing at myself due to how obvious they were

Lucifer:

You made him mug holders and now it's all he uses

"It's very useful, I'll take extra care of it - no need to worry."

He can handle the heat but he must use what you've made

You even made a massive sweater and socks for Cerberus

How you got his dogs measurements is beyond him but it was the most prominent things he uses from your biggest pile

But he was no fool, he knew you

He knew your habits and how you've grown more anxious

He isn't always the most available person with his emotions and with his schedule

But he was always willing to listen to your issues

Mammon:

You made him a money pouch - how could he not be happy??!!

He loves jingling it to hear all his latest 'finds'

What was even better you made him a sweater he got to wear for his modeling job and show off to Everyone

That article was an interesting find

"CHECK IT! everyone loved your sweater! I say we can make a bussiness with this."

But when you come handing him a large bag full of your latest projects he can't help but raise a brow

He's greedy, he loves being showered in gifts

But he knew you, he took note on your emotional

He got pouty but he hugged your shoulders

Reminding you that you can always come to him and he'll make you feel better

Levithan:

You made him knitted wrist support, for his long gaming sessions

He wears them pretty much everyday at this point

Not only are they comfortable and helpful

But you made them! Specifically for him! For him to use! YOU MADE IT!

Has bragged to his gaming friends about it one too many times

"My player 2 is obviously better than yours, does yours knit cute things for you? I thought so."

Also you made him a crotchet plush of his favourite animal crossing chatacter, he prefers the Devildom version of the game but he's a sucker for bright cute things

Anything he could he'd either put in on his desk or on his figure cupboards

But when you come in with a massive pile, strained smile he felt himself panic

You both have anxiety, you were comrades in it! So of course he knew how knitting was part of your coping mechanism

He felt annoyed and worried on why you weren't coming to him but quickly calmed himself down, when he saw he patted your head

Explaining you can always come to him because you're in this together

He definitely stole a line or two from his latest favourite media

Satan:

Crotchet chair cat paw socks was his favourite out of the pile

"They're little paws..... I need these for all my furniture!"

His second favourite is the baggy sweater you knitted for him

He's going to cherish these gifts until he dies

Which could be never

Though even in death he'd be keeping what you've made him

Worried about the massive increase as he knows it's coping for your anxiety

He's read books about anxiety so he has a fair amount of knowledge on it

Insists you can always come to him when you're worried

Asmodeus:

He adored everything you made!

The sweater had little holes in them? He doesn't care and even smirks at the holes

"wanting to expose my beautiful skin~? I don't blame you."

Made a scarf? He'll wear that instead of his usual black one

Just knitted squares or unwearable things? Proudly shows off your work

Is concerned you've been so ridden with anxiety

He wants to help as much as he can, he has teas and bath scents for these kind of things

Just say the word and he'll bring all of it out

Beezlebub:

A crotchet layered burger he can take apart because it's velcro-ed together??!

It's like a real burger!

He tries not to bite or chew on it but it has happened before

Would feel awful if he accidentally ripped it

"I love it, are you going to make more?"

Didn't expect for you to actually make more

As time went on he learned that it helps you calm down from anxiety

So he especially didn't expect you to come in with a massive bag full of your latest creation's

He immediately got worried

You wanted to show them off to distract your mind but he just grabbed your head

Gently moving it so you looked at him

He told you he wants to help and he'll be there for you, no matter what and no matter when

Belphegor:

You made him w blanket - you know how young children are normally seen with baby blankets? Just always carrying them around

Yeah that's him

"You can't make me take it off Lucifer-! This is MY gift from (Y/N) and I'm going to make sure everyone sees it!"

Always showing off the blanket you made him by carrying it around or having it wrapped around him

He loves it! He also loves the pillow covers you made! It helps spice up his pillow collection

But you can't hide your anxiety from him, he goes out of his way to give people it

And soon he found out how kitting was a coping mechanism

He felt a little special you were making him things because it calmed you down but also worried about your mental health

The concern RISED when you were in the attic, placing and organising the big pile you had

He hugged you and flopped onto the bed

Telling you that he'll look after you and you can tell him what's wrong, stress naps are always welcomed with him

UNDATEABLES↓

Diavolo:

Didn't expect to find such a huge pile of new stuff in his room

He saw mug holders and mits

Horn warmers

And his favourite- a shawl with tassels, he immediately wrapped it around him and refused to take it off

He's going to wear this everywhere no matter his outfit

"Barbatos can be strict but I'll wear this no matter what, if I even see a spec of dirty on it I'll make sure to get it cleaned with delicate care."

But then it hit him, you become more active with your hobby when you become anxious

He immediately got to you, asking you if you're okay

He's ready to charge your whole class schedule if he has to

Barbatos:

You crocheted desserts and he never felt so much warmth and love in his heart

Almost collapsed from sweetness when he found a knitted pair of gloves in the big pile of your creation's

Appreciates the gifts alot

"these are marvelous, I look forward to see what else you make."

Brings you calming teas as a thank you, understanding your anxiety must be high

Offers a shoulder to cry on and happy to take time out of his schedule to listen to your worries

He asks you to teach him so he can make things like you

He wants to repay you for all the things you've given him

Solomon:

Has a whole room dedicated to everything you've ever made and given him

Whenever he has guests he likes to take them to check out your creations

"Come and admire my collection, My apprentice made these, aren't they neat?"

The potion sacks you've made are extremely useful

Aswell as the coldrain mat

Can sense your anxious energy in the newest creation's and gets concerned

He'll invite you over to talk about what's wrong

Let's you to take your time incase you're comfortable to talk

Simeon:

His favourite amongst the massive pile was a cute crotchet octopus

It was nicely stuffed and felt so nice to rest his head on

Others that peaked his fancy were the long wrist warmers you made, the way you made it made it look like lace

Aswell as a shawl and the very well made bag to store his books in

"You're so thoughtful, I'll treasure them all."

But he noticed just how worked up you've been and knew your anxious habits

Sat you down for tea to ask what how you're feeling and if could help

Also offers to be a guardian angel and make sure you don't get so anxious

If he can he'll wear an entire outfit made out of your knitting

Luke:

Is in awe how much you gave him

Almost died with Happiest when you knitted him a new hat

The crotchet wings you made just made him bounce with joy

He loves everything!!!

"I'm going to wear everything you've made and carry the little crochet puppy with me everywhere! I promise I'll take good care of him!"

Though will always check in on you

Once he's learned you do it more or only when you're really anxious he'll want to do everything he can to help

Has looked up guides on how to help people with their anxiety and panic attacks

He's going to be your guardian angel!

hello im (F, 24) an idiot and forgot to post tessa’s (F, 22, fictional) intro!

pls bare in mind most of this was written 5+ years ago n i haven’t written tessa since 2015...... but lets get this show (LOCKWOODRP) on the road (DASHBOARD). 

tw school shooting, tw bipolar disorder

art hoe. always covered in paint. why?? she bad at painting

the mark rothko jackson pollock kind of bad tho wher people are like.... omg.... revolutionary..... its a badly drawn vagina

fuckin loves astrology, but cant take it that seriously bcos one of her bfs was a gemini so there’s some lenience there. but she WILL blame her hormones and mood swings on the positon of mars

embodies pure sunshine. 

one of those really annoying people that can go through the most traumatic shit and still find a positive spin. 

cares so much for others but does not really care for herself n it’s meant she just bottles up all this shit n when someone asks her how her day has gone she just falls on the ground like tht bit in midsommar when florence does that loud wheezy noise and sits down 

has never really had much money at all. learns to make-do with what she has. loves upcycling!! her bookshelf is made from cardboard which she’s reinforced by pappering it over with pages ripped out of thrifted books. her sofa is an old car boot which she’s repainted, put on wheels and stuffed w cushions so that it’s actually bearable to sit on.

her knitted cardigan? its made out of wife material.

knits all the time. will crochet you a christmas scarf. if ur lucky you might get a knitted jumper with a penis in a santa hat

still sleeps with cuddly toys n then wonders why ppl dont think she’s mature enough for a serious relationship

very passionate about Sister Doing It For THemselves!! raised by a single mom who worked her ass off so that tessa could do fun activities after school, have lelli kelly shoes, and go to college (not necessarily in tht order of importance)

tessa was born out of wedlock as the result of an affair between her mom (a journalism intern in her early 20s) and a new york times editor. 

the editor offered to pay tessa’s mom off to have an abortion, but she was like fuck u and told the papers he’d done that and used the money to cover the cost of her internship which they refused to pay her for

and because of the scandal, he ended up going through a pretty messy divorce with his wife, and losing custody of his kids. so as a child  tessa was seen as the cause of a divorce and received mutliple letters from the editors wife (to tessa personally!) and his kids saying how she had ruined everything, but her mom moved them to another town so tessa didn’t have to deal with that crap. 

her mom worked 3 jobs to put her through school, so in return tessa pushes herself incredibly hard to succeed. needs a break and a hug and to get laid to be honest. 

an old soul. likes old films, old music, old people. only recently got an iphone 5s so not really with this century yet

very sweet and soft and kind but also a fucking mess and won’t listen to anyone else’s opinion. she’ll take comfort, but not advice. 

feminist buddhist bisexual vegetarian for human rights and animal welfare. standing on a soapbox shouting about the climate in the quad, shoving flyers into your hands. flyers everwhere. she turns up at your grandmas funeral and shoves one into her mouth. she’s stolen the mic from the vicar to talk about pandas.

says “mother of pearl” and “heavens to betsy”.

had an affair with her married piano teacher and he’s now facing a custody battle and his wife is leaving him and tessa has completely internalised that guilt despite her being the victim in the scenario

aesthetics: paint splattered jeans, loose curls spilling from a scrunchie, thrifted blouses in bright yellow, guzzling coffee in the library at three am when a term paper’s due, shoddily illustrated campaign posters to save endangered species, polaroids plastered to your bedroom walls with scribbled dates on the frames, jumping into a stack of autumn leaves, jumping off piers in the summer months and stripping off your wet clothes on the beach, digging your thumbs into peaches to leave a bruise, smoking with the extractor fan on to hide the smell, bath bombs, letting the girls at lush rub samples all over your skin, cacti with knitted bobble hats, decorative pillows and sun and moon blanket throws, basic bitch fairy lights hanging from every single window, painting the name of the boys you’ve loved inside your wardrobe door.

studies fine art and philosophy, and wants to become either a lecturer or the first woman president. vibe wise, very similar to leslie knope, missy from big mouth, and basically the naive everygirl with a high opinion of themselves trope

gets drunk off like one double vodka lemonade because she’s small and she’s a pretty messy wild drunk. it’s when slutty tessa comes out, and the next day she’ll thoroughly regret every choice made and decide she’s never drinking again and cutting out all men and starting daily sudoko

on the cheerleading team and is a flyer, which she sees as a HUGE responsibility and she works really hard to make sure she’s on it for her team. one of those get up at 7am and go to the gym before school types its sickening

she had a really traumatic time at high school because there was a shooting in her school. she was in the next classroom when it happened, and she lost one of her friends in the shooting. she had to take two months off school, was diagnosed with depression and put on anti-depressants because of it. in her 2nd year of uni she was rediagnosed with bipolar disorder and anxiety, which she’s now on medication for. she can be really good for several months at a time and feel super creative and determined (she actually finds manic periods helpful for her creativity n art, n sadly sometimes doesn’t take her meds in these periods to push herself more which is obvs super bad.....). but when the bad periods come they can also last months n she had to take a semester out of school last year because of her mood, so she should be a senior by now but she’s retaking junior year

she attends weekly stress-management sessions prescribed by her doctor which she finds pointless.

very childish in the sense that she can only see her own point of view and kind of views herself as the “protagonist” and thinks her ideas are super important and life changing and she IS Destined for Greatness! despite being pretty much average af

BIOGRAPHY

tw school shooting

Her story begins with Cordelia Costello, a twenty-three year old college drop-out, turned beautician, turned columnist, turned intern at a local publishing company. She was a youthful, beautiful, siren of a women, always surrounded by an aura of enigma and an entourage of men. It was no surprise to the gossips in the office that within six months working at the company, Cordelia had added to her list another title – mistress to Franklin Hozier, the Editor of the New York Times. After two blissful months and three hundred and twenty seven orgasms, Cordelia decided she wanted a baby. Franklin laughed in her face. Feeling isolated and used, Cordelia continued her affair with her boss’ boss for another month, before deciding to take matters into her own hands.

It started with a turkey baster.

Soon the infant cries of a baby girl graced the world, her wrinkled skin puckered and pink as her mother held her in her arms, glancing upon the most beautiful thing in her life. Once Tessa, named after Cordelia’s favourite literary heroine, entered the world, Franklin left her life and things took a turn for the better. Despite living in a rented one-bedroom apartment in Staten Island, on what little money Cordelia had saved, Tessa’s childhood years were filled with nothing but the happiest of memories. Times were tough, but what they lacked in money, the Costello’s made up in love. While Tessa was at school, Cordelia did odd jobs cleaning, child-minding, working in local nurseries, in order to save up enough money to give her daughter the best start in life.

Despite what she had been led to believe by television shows and teen movies, the first few years of High School were some of the best years of her life. Tessa threw herself into a multitude of activities that High School offered her, including the drama club, the orchestra, choir, badminton and the school newspaper. While she certainly wasn’t considered ‘popular’ at school, Tess had a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. In fact, High School was a place where she made some of the greatest memories of her life, but come her final year, it was also a place where she was haunted by some of her worst.

On the January 17th of Tessa’s senior year of high school, a shooting took place in Westville High School. For two hours Tessa locked herself in a supply cupboard, her head between her knees as she tried to stay silent despite the screams of horror from the corridor. Eighteen students were caught in the crossfire, two of which were Tessa’s best friends. Bouquets of flowers, laminated photographs, Teddy Bears in cling-film bags attached to balloons littered the streets as families and friends came to pay tribute to the eighteen students withered before they had a chance to bloom.

It took two months of therapy before Tessa could return to school. Some of the survivors could never return due to the horrors that their eyes had laid witness to. Sometimes Tessa felt like a part of her had died with the friends that were stolen from her too soon, but one thought kept her going through: she had survived, she was alive and breathing, and she could not afford to loose a second of the precious time she had been granted on this earth. Despite the nightmares that continued to haunt her each night, Tessa found in the aftermath of the disaster a new sense of motivation. She began applying for scholarships for colleges without her mother’s knowledge, in the hope that her academic success would be enough to carry her through further education. Thankfully, it was, and after three torturous months of waiting Tess was offered an arts scholarship to her dream school, Lockwood University, where she hoped she could finally start to rebuild her life.

THE PRESENT:

Life at university was like a separate world. Students came and went like moths among the whisperings and the tequila and the stars. In this new world, Tessa was exposed for the first time in her life to alcohol, drugs, and the sexual appetites of other students her age – though she politely declined all three. Instead, Tessa threw herself into the vast array of activities in the hope that by distracting herself she could escape the terrible flashbacks that continued to haunt her. Tessa joined the lacrosse team, despite never having played before, and took up cheerleading discovering a new talent; she joined the musical theatre group, and the film club, and even set up her own acapella singing society. But despite how much she tried to throw herself into student life, her past hung around her like a bad smell, and with the added pressure of the Sinking Ships zine, Tess began to feel the weight of her secret tying her down like a pair of shackles around her wrists.

PERSONALITY:

If someone was to describe Tessa in a single word, it would most likely be ‘bubbly’, ‘open-minded’ or ‘sweet’. But they would be wrong – Tessa is not bubbly, or sweet, or stubborn, or hotheaded, or fiesty, or infectious, or any of the things the world see her as, but merely a numb and lonely echo of the gregarious, halcyon girl she once was. Tessa Costello was one of life’s enigmas. No one knew who she was, for to each person she met she wore a different mask – she dripped confidence, or was painfully shy; she was an exhibitionist, or a brooding wallflower; she took things too seriously, or not seriously at all. She was an actress and the world was her stage, each person she met a different member of the audience in the performance of her life. In truth, Tessa no longer even recognised herself. Insecure, and self-destructive, she tried to hang on to the extroverted, mischievous pieces of herself that everyone had once loved, but day by day it got harder to know what lay in the vacant holes blown through her mind. While she was stubborn and hot-headed, Tessa always saw the best in people, which meant that she was easily led astray. While she had grown up learning to be street smart and astute, she was idealistic and allowed silly fantasies to cloud her mind. By nature, she was passionate, which lead her to misimagine and romanticise those she met. Despite the hell she had witnessed, and the anxiety that feasted upon her, she believed that people were innately good and that to have courage and be kind could cure anyone of their sadness – yet she was unable to cure herself.

What the....hudhaifaty!?

Assalamu'aleyykum and peace be upon you, friends! So before I get into this post, let me forewarn you guys real quick that this one is gonna be a little bit longer than usual (honestly, do I even write short ones at all?), but if you are interested in a refreshing and inspiring motivational speech, then stay tuned (just kidding…actually not really :-))

Basically, as always, I don’t know where to start. Especially because I still don’t know what I want this little project of mine to be. I had this idea several months ago and it was none other than my little son who gave me the idea. Well, not exactly, but it was his name and I’ll tell you more about it in a sec.

In the last couple of months there has been several changes taking place in my life and many doors have been closed while at the same time, many others have been opened. I have a plan to start my studies next year inshaAllah and before I want to take on this journey, I thought about what I could do in the meantime. Given the fact that we just moved back to Germany this summer, I literally felt like moving mountains. I don’t want to claim that my life has been restricted in the Middle East; if you know the right people and are familiar with the right places you can even do more stuff than in Europe, but that’s also the thing; it is completely up to you to seek any information, whereas in Germany, for example, the country itself officially provides you with a lot of possibilities and programs. But I don’t want to go deep into this matter because it’s obviously another topic. So as I’ve been saying, having completed one very intense and life-changing chapter in my life made me want to try something new, something risky and do something beneficial – so why not start your own business? It sounds way too far-fetched if you first think about it because people are way too afraid to actually just jump into the cold water. Well, I guess I would have been definitely one of those people if I wasn’t blessed with making the experience of living not only in another country, but even a whole new continent for the past three years.

Now let’s pick up where I left with my son’s name. There are many nicknames I call him by and one of them is obviously “Hudhaifaty” which means „my Hudhaifa“ in Arabic. So when I was in the midst of my brainstorming I had to think of him and his nickname and then I thought to myself „wait… doesn’t this sound like such a cute brand name?“ and then things were slowly but surely progressing from there. I kept wondering what I actually wanted to do with this „brand“ because I faced one dead end after another.

First of all, since the name sounded so cute and apparently had to do with my son, I immediately categorized the brand into a baby/child accessories one. However, I decided from the get-go that I wanted to do something personal and homemade rather than ordering pieces oversea and selling them here. But then again, I’m not really into handicrafts these days. I mean, I highly assume that I would find another passion when I would give it a try because I was so into crafting when I was little (any Art Attack fans here?!?). Also, I used to learn how to crochet back in elementary school but I forgot it all :-U

Another dead end was that I’m really not a fan of displaying children online. Along with the provocation of the evil eye/misuse of their photos etc., the bitter and still repressed truth is that children do have rights, too, and since they cannot decide whether they want to be displayed on social media or not, I personally believe – as well as many, if not all children’s rights organisations – that you shouldn’t take advantage of their lack of free choice. Eventually I concluded that not showing his face and laying focus on the knitwear would be a good compromise.

Talking about the knitwear: my Mom’s blessed hands lie behind the clothing items, and I explicitly call it clothing items because hudhaifaty most probably won’t be limited to hats only. My mother crochets a wide range of clothing or things in general, such as cardigans, blankets and potholders.

But how did I even come up with the idea to involve her in the brand? Obviously she’s the one with the talent lol. She just happened to randomly surprise Hudhaifa with a lovely hat which she weren’t able to for the last three years when we were still living in the Middle East. The last time she crocheted something for him was even before he was born. This fall/winter season is/will be the first one for Hudhaifa, so that’s why she thrives in crocheting fall/winter wear and hence became my muse. I was so amazed by her talent (to be honest, I never fully appreciated it because the things she crocheted were way too colorful in my eyes and I only came to realise how talented she is when I could actually choose the colors myself lmao) that I wanted to honor it by motivating her to start her own little company. She kept refusing by telling me that she does this merely for us, out of love, and apart from that, there are much more talented people out there and it was no sooner than this sentence that it hit me. I thought about combining her talent with hudhaifaty in order to prove her wrong.

People nowadays are so intimidated by other people’s talent that they are neither willing nor daring to start blossoming themselves. So in the main, this is supposed to be the essence of hudhaifaty. My goal is to motivate my Mom and prove to her that people actually wanna see her stuff and are able to find inspiration from it. My goal is to prove to her that people might wanna buy her work, even if it’s just one baby/child alongside its mother who she is able to make happy and keep warm! My goal is to inspire people that they need to start, dare and risk more often! Start learning new handicrafts, e.g. how to crochet (yup Yasmin, you should pick that up again!), dare to learn new things and dare to risk and to fail and start succeeding from there. Also, hudhaifaty is supposed to be a huge inspirational source for the hand- and homemade. Listen to this enlightening quote right here and let it sink in:

“It is often assumed that the chief reason for making things—furniture, clothing, toys, a garden—is to save money. There are other factors that may be of equal or greater importance: making what we need for life is a way of expressing creativity and of gaining greater confidence. Emotional security comes from providing the necessities of life in personal, meaningful ways, by our own hands or those of friends and loved ones. Another value in studying how things are made is to increase our appreciation for them as we better understand what makes them work. The knowledge that comes from shaping the things around us helps us build relationships with the world that are more intimate.” ― William Coperthwaite, A Handmade Life: In Search of Simplicity 

So I mentioned the ideas behind Hudhaifaty above and one of them was that I want to prove to my Mom that people will buy her work. Yet, I think this would be more like a “nice side effect” for now because she’s still not fully convinced. This means that the hudhaifaty “shop” is still under construction, perhaps until we get out first order. Promoting your own brand and selling your handmade things is as new to me as it is to her so bare with us if we still take things slowly and more loosely because there’s much more work behind it than one would think. Just know that I don’t want to put the ordered item in a random packaging and ship it. It’s about the details, you know, and the details again are about planning… let me leave it at that ;-)

Regardless we established a couple of guidelines for the shop yet:  

My Mom crochets at a great pace mashaAllah (another reason why I thought she could start her own business with ease) but nonetheless, she obviously also got other stuff to do and hence, we can only take 3 orders per week. This may change if your girl Yas will relearn how to crochet! :’D

All desires and preferences such as color, size etc. will be spoken about via DM only. Thus, the prices are also individual but it will be around 12/13€ on average, plus shipping costs. The prices can also vary a lot according to the type of knitwear. As I said, we don’t plan to be restricted to hats only.

Also, since the items being sold are all knitwear, I guess we will only be open during fall and winter season (so better get yours now!:-))

That’s already it..at least for now. We haven’t planned and figured it all out yet but I rather want to start now and develop throughout the process than not starting at all. Anyways, I can’t wait to start this journey together with you and see where it leads us! Bismillah :-D

(I think I should leave out the Islamic terms b/c this brand is supposed to be neutral and address all type of groups. Also, why do I even write in English because I believe we will only get German customers because the shipping costs are too pricy.)
