Daily Routine (9/27/17) - Night Ride

Another short one tonight. Nothing too significant happened today, but I’m pretty happy at the place I am in my life right now. I’ve finally got a good routine going for me and it’s becoming part of my life style. It’s nice having structure in your life, but I understand it isn’t for everyone. For me though, it works and I’m happy for it. 

This picture may be a bit grainy, but I biked to an overlook of the river today. I finally got my bike tires pumped and was able to use it again. It’s been way too long. I missed riding my bike. My freshman year, it was my life essentially. I never used it much last year though and I’m not so sure why. But I’m happy I have it up and running again. It allowed me to see views like this right before the sun set for the night. 

Honestly, I’m just happy. I hope this mental state continues. 

HERE HERE, THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE!!

Due to recent motivation im going to start posting on this account alongside my main @willowsfunnys

Since I have alot of time on my hands I'm going to try and be current with my uploads (aka I'm going to set up a whole massive queue of all the art I've made and haven't posted on my main)

NOTICE IM MOVING MY COMIC TO AN OTHER BLOG THIS ONE IS STRICTLY FOR INFO ABOUT BLOGS

I’ll repost the comic there

Story Time!!

So yesterday, my hubby and I were out of town, because he was participating in a special Magic: The Gathering draft event (Spring Flourishes), and he took second place in a 6 person pod.

While he was doing that, I was doing my own thing at a free table and trying to make a stockpile of Pokémon Eggs and had the display ones… Well, on display! Two girls saw them and was instantly curious about them and wanted to hold them and I was like, “sure!” One of the Dads took notice and asked about them and I explained that these were crochet Pokémon Eggs based off the kilometer eggs on Pokémon Go and that I plan on selling them on my online shop and possibly at a craft fair if make enough and get accepted.

The two girls wanted the 12K and Shadow Egg and the Dad wanted to buy them. Told them they were $5 each, but he wanted to pay DOUBLE the amount! I thanked them and the girls were so happy and were the proud owners of their own eggs!

I hope Moonlight and Sunlight are enjoying their new homes.

I think that that interaction yesterday more than ever gave me more confidence to try and make a lot of cute amigurumi items to show off and sell to folks interested. It really makes me happy seeing people look at my work and be genuinely happy taking them home. Makes the hard work and wrist pain worth it to me.

NOTE: I'm making this post because for some weird reason, Tumblr flagged my previous post?? Anywaaaaaays…

I made some Pokémon Eggs! Read more to check out the gallery and more info!

I created a lovely display of amigurumi Pokémon Eggs from Pokémon Go that I plan on adding to my shop on my Ko-Fi page! We have…

2K Egg

5K Egg

7K Egg (Gift given though friends)

10K Egg

12K Egg (Reward for defeating a Team Rocket Boss)

And this is my own special creation—the Shadow Egg!

This design was an inspiration from an old Pokémon game I played, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

Like I said earlier, I do plan on adding these lovely eggs in my shop on my Ko-Fi Page as they are or as keychains! But if you want them early, my commissions are always open!

Regular: $5

Keychain: $7

Thank you all SO much for reading my post! Enjoy this picture of Lynx napping with a Snom!🫰🏾

UPDATE!!

Hubby and I are out of town, because he's participating in a special Magic: The Gathering draft event and while he's doing that, I'm crocheting more eggs.

Two girls saw the display models I have and immediately wanted them. Their Dad was more than happy to pay DOUBLE the asking price for the 10K and Shadow Egg.

Their names are Moonlight and Sunlight. I hope they enjoy their new homes!

Oh?

UPDATE 2:

So. Many. Granny Squares. ಠ_ಠ

I'm estimating about... 70 or so that need to be made? I was roughly measuring about 10 squares around my torso and 7 squares down. This isn't counting the sleeves—which aren't granny squares, but a granny stitch instead. I'm having to divide my crochet time. This is a personal project, but I also have crochet commissions I gotta finish up.

Current commission requests are a 6ft x 6ft/1.8m x 1.8m Polyamorous-Pansexual Pride Blanket done in a C2C(corner-to-corner) stitch, along with two Pansexual Pride Bees, and a new commission request of a 1ft/0.3m tall Cheese the Chao amigurumi.

Here is the current progress of my pride blanket commission and what the pride bees will look like!

The draft image of the completed look:

Pansexual Pride Bees:

My commissions are OPEN if any of you are interested in my crochet wares! Feel free to message me here or check out my Ko-Fi page.

I'll continue to keep y'all updated on the Donut Lord Sweater. Thank you so much for the likes and reblogs. I really appreciate it!

So... I saw Sonic 3...

I... Am SO TEMPTED to crochet this goddamn beautiful abomination of a sweater. It seems simple enough. It's basically a bunch of granmy squares with sewn on amigurumi donuts. It would be time consuming, but I am so tempted...

Would anyone want one? Or am I the only one who absolutely adored this sweater? 🤔

UPDATE:

I'm currently going through my yarn stash to collect colors. Sooooo far—warning, I'm in hyperfixation mode—I got all the colors I believe I need listed. These color names are based from the JoAnn store brand Big Twist.

Base Sweater: Varsity Blue Sapphire Varsity Navy Blue

Donuts(est 19 counted)/Sherff Badges/Letters: Baby Pink Lilac/Soft Purple Nile Green Toffee Cream/Caramel Varsity Gold Varsity Red White

Now the next thing I gotta do is list all the donut color combos. They come in sprinkles and two types of swirls.

I'm going through my yarn stash(I don't have a problem, I have a perfectly healthy amount of yarn collected, shut up) and see what colors I have. It isn't gonna be perfect, but it'll be close enough color-wise. I will be documenting/recording the whole process of the sweater.

If—IF—I'm successful on this and if I get any requests from folks who wanna buy one of their own, it'll be posted on my Ko-Fi page along with all my other crochet goods.

...Hell, maybe I could do a giveaway if I ever reached 500 or 1000 followers on my BlueSky. That's something to think about if that ever happened. 🤔

UPDATE!!

So I recently found out more infomation in regards to this. Check out this Twitter post:

From what I've read and talking with some friends about the matter is this:

Artists, we're more than likely screwed either way when it comes to the bullshit AI is. It's just another aspect that has become integrated into the Internet.

Migrating and blindly posting onto Bluesky and other common sites other artists may use would put us at risk.

Surprisingly, as much as Twitter/Xitter is a toxic cesspool it is, it is weirdly the safer option than other sites, simply because it is harder to scrap stuff for AI. With Twitter, you only have to deal with Grok. With other sites, who knows what you have to deal with.

It is annoying. VERY annoying. And frustrating. Because as artists, we work hard to hone our craft and skills and for AI to just swoop in and steal it and claim it as their's is pretty much a slap in the face, but... As it's been said many times "Welcome To The Internet".

The best we can do is try to stay safe, try to be our authentic selves and continue to put our blood, sweat and tears into our work. AI can copy us, but they could never, and never will be us. Our work has soul, our work shows our perfection and flaws, our work speaks for itself. Essentially, just keep fucking drawing.

Stay strong, everyone. We gotta do our best and stay DETERMINED and PERSEVERE!!

And to those AI "artists"...

Some other things I found out:

I've seen people talk about things, such as "Glaze" and "Nightshade" as a means of making it harder for AI to try and take things from people's art. I've considered it because it would be a good "fuck you" to AI, but after chatting with some friends about this matter to better understand these programs and if it's legit, I've learned that while it may be good workaround to screw with AI, it'll most likely be a fruitless endeavor because it'll only be a matter of time to until AI finds a workaround on *that*.

If we truly wanted to make our voices heard, take action through legal representation, speak to local leaders—make it to where if people want to use AI, they follow proper rules and protocols that are deemed acceptable.

If you can't or don't feel like doing that, just focus on your art, grow your audience, make that money if you're trying to make a career outta it. Just know that your art is REAL art. Not AI.

Artists UNITE!!

So... With all these changes going on, I got a few things to say.

The new "Block" feature. I put quotes on that because with the new changes made, it is essentially useless. As it says, any accounts blocked will still be able to view your content, but won't be able to engage with them, such as leaving a comment or retweeting or anything. BUT if you truly want to protect your posts and limit who can see what, you can lock your account. But that means you won't be able to get more engagement or new followers.

This also means that NSFW artists/content creators who've blocked minors from seeing their content? Yeah, those minors are gonna have full access anyways and there us nothing we can do about it except maybe report them.

Any abusers/stalkers who like to keep tabs on your accounts? They can see, regardless of being blocked.

This has got to be a violation and Google Play and Apple App Store should put X on blast for it.

The second thing!!

If any of you have seen the tweet going around, there has been a recent change to the Terms of Service and will be effective come November 15th.

It'll let Twitter use your posts (images, videos, audio) to train their Grok AI. You can opt out, but come Novwmber 15th, you just automatically get opted back in.

I dunno about y'all, BUT I DO NOT CONSENT TO HAVING MY STUFF USED FOR AI PURPOSES!!

And if you feel the same, I have a suggestion:

I think that we, as artists and content creators, should unite together and nuke our Twitter/X accounts. I know it's a lot, especially those who have really put a lot of work into it, but would you really want to have all that hard work just be fed to an AI?

I say any and all content we have on Twitter should immediately be migrated over to other sites.

Bluesky is always nice and have no complaints so far and since these changes Twitter/X made, they've gain a huuuuuge amount of traffic.

Cora is another place I've been hearing about. I have no opinions about it so far, but did make an account. I've heard they're very anti-AI, so that's good!

Pillowfort could still be a go-to possibly. Hell, maybe even here on Tumblr since it's been getting active again!

We've got options! We can give one last fuck you to Elongated Muskrat to show what we think about his new changes! But that choice is ultimately up to you.

If you guys wanna follow me, my BlueSky account is here, but fair warning, I do post NSFW art on there.

Thank you all for the likes! It makes me really happy to this get attention. I do have the timelapse video and of y'all are interested, I could always post that next.

I'm almost at 10 followers! Yay me! I really appreciate it.

Blitzy-kun… You b-baka!

These hands are CURSED! But it had to be done. I loved this short and hated it because it felt like VivziePop called me out by my government name and knows about my weeby past. I'm legit proud I drew this and love Emberlynn.
