Doodle suggestion: How abouuut... a kobold/gremlin or such? =)

Okay let me introduce you to a little kobold from my childhood:

Pittiplatsch der Liebe ("Pittiplatsch the Nice One"), or just "Pitti", who showed up on TV every Saturday during the Sandmännchen show and got into (harmless) shenanigans with his friends Schnatterinchen (a duck) and Moppi (a dog). He may be small, but he has a big mouth!

He can also do some kobold magic, but usually it goes wrong in some way or another xD

His favourite thing to say is:

"Ach du grüne Neune!"

Maybe I'll colour him at some later point, but I don't have the energy right now...

Have a pic of the three friends instead:

You know what, have one of the classic little episodes:

Several generations of kids grew up with this in the former GDR - Sandmännchen has been around since 1959, Pitti since 1961!

They still are a cornerstone of German children's tv, but I don't like their modern incarnations, tbh xD

Anyway, thank you for the doodle idea!!! 💕

Oohoho, they are so cute! ^_^

four more goobers for the pile! total of 8 now (pink, phosphor, rad, honey, flutter, cotton, puddle, yolky)

the bases for the flutter and cotton guys are modified phosphors, and the puddle and yolky are both puddle patterns ofc, patterns by @soerdinan

actually listened to somewhat contextually appropriate music this time. the ember valley nighttime theme as well as a thousand lightyears away, some songs from risk of rain 2 (terra pluviam, they might as well be dead, and the rain formerly known as purple bang SO hard) as well as lonely rolling star (the GOAT) and specifically petal keys from hello kitty island adventure... idk what to say i love flutes

i was gonna continue on and make fire, boom, tabby, and ringtail slimes but the cotton and yolky slimes DESTROYED my left hand and now im getting terrible pins when i flex my fingers too fast so theyre gonna have to wait a little longer unfortunately

hi 👋 had a question about the puddle slime pattern.

R4 says to (inc, 2sc) x6 for a total of 24, but R5 says (inc, 3sc) x7 and then an extra inc at the end for a total of 32. when i was doing R5, i only got to 30 stitches before the end of the round with no space for that extra inc, and the pattern only repeated 6 times instead of 7. not sure what to do

Hi! Ah, again I could clear that up in the pattern, but yes you have done it right, I think! The seventh (inc, 3sc) and extra inc go after what would be the end of the round (so like the last parts go over the beginning stitches of R5). :)

[soerdinan]

Ooh my goodness what a cute bunch! :D Also great idea to make the rad slime with the glow-spot pattern!

one of the strangest sensory experiences ive had is crocheting these guys while blasting bring me to life and through the fire and the flames... like am i relaxed or not??? lol

patterns by @soerdinan, theyre very cool :>

also the rad slime is just the phosphor in different colors; gonna try and make a flutter slime next WITHOUT ragequitting on the wings this time

hello 👋

i was making your honey slime pattern, and i got stuck on the hexagons. R1 says to put 6sc into a loop for a total of 6 stitches, which makes sense, but then R2 says (sc, dc, sc) x6 for a total of 18 stitches. im just very confused how the totals jump like that, especially with the dc in R2.

Hi! Oh the pattern could be a bit clearer on that part. So on R2, to each sc of the R1 you do (sc, dc, sc), making three stitches for every R1 stitch : 6x3 =18. Unless I'm missing something (not unusual) ^_^'

European Citizens' Initiative - Ban on conversion practices in the European Union

European Citizens' Initiative is a mechanism to bring issues direct from the people to the EU commission. I strongly urge every citizen of the European Union member states to sign this Initiative to ban conversion therapy and similar persuasion practices.

Enjoy this piece of great art my wife drew out of a rejected cave map during our rpg.

Here is the walls for the mini floor I posted. It's going to be a room for my TSPN pet. On the lower pic is the placeholder wall and a small plant dish, cardboard version of the pet (I'll try to make a mini, but we'll see if I manage) and a basket for the pet.

Here are some doodles from my journal. A plan for the enclosure, pics of the pet, it's kinda like a fluffy snake with a hamster-like head. Its looks are 9/10 so it's super petty, that's pretty much where it's stats are so we are focusing on pet beauty pageants. There is a doodle of the first pageant, the competition was a granny who had made a cool sweater for her pet. The pets were on friendly terms after the pageant. Also a bug sneaked inside but luckily it wasn't dangerous. Still most of my money was spent on a cage trap to catch the critter.

Then rest of my money went on a leash and a harness for walkies. We encountered a mushroom pet that scared my pet. Also the bug was captured succesfully and relocated outside. And my pet seems to love rolling around in dirt.

Oooooh, look at this floor, I'm so excited how it turned out!

It's carved corrugated cardboard, coloured with markers and mini paints, and topped with anti-shine varnish.

Been watching Kruggsmash's Dwarf fortress videos on youtube. Made some fanart for the gladiator tournament series called Splatterface.

All are drawn and lined on paper, Toralnil and the snail are colour pencil coloured, the others I coloured digitally.

But yeah, there's some nice stories and lovely art in the videos if you feel like checking them out.

In our current p&p rpg, I've been slowly setting up this scary undead castle thing. The villages the party has gone through have heavy fortifications and shrines for a 'bane of the undead' and people there are vary of the night and the skies, all that.

The safe-house they were meant to stay for the night in between villages was destroyed and, during the night, large wolves and undead ghouls attacked the camp. During the attack, two huge bestial bats swooped down and one snatched two of the party and took them away. Of course the rest are going to rescue them and head to a castle where the villagers said the master of the undead is.

And the castle and the houses around it are all abandoned looking and rotting, spooky stuff. They sneak into the castle and find the kindapped peeps who are acting weird, all mindcontrolled and such. The sun is on its way down, they can't get out of the forest before dark, so they decide to go and kill the master of the castle.

And I've been planning these seduce-y and creepy vampire encounters for next, MW suspects the mind controls being demonic based on previous encounters, so the vampire stuff is meant to be a bit of a surprise, it seems she didn't clock the giant bats before.

And just before that MW starts rewatching What we do in the shadows, nooooo, my spooky vampire encounters. :D

Made a padded pouch for an e-book reader. The cat piece is from some scraps.

Been planning a dice tower. With great effort got the wall cardboard glued... and the ceiling piece is on wrong.

Another headphone-padding fix. On these ones the fabric started disintegrating, so I tested sewing new fabrics over them. If I need to fix them further I might try cutting the padding out and making all together new cover on it. But it works fine for now.
