#i wanna have hobbies and interests

[bugdogg]

im teetering on the edge of something or another, feels like a breakdown but its more so falling back on old unhealthy habits that feel comforting to do but ultimately don't help me in the long run

anyway im coping somehow by comparing myself to dogs and going "haha im young, i got a ways to go before my evil villain arc"

Hank with an Eldritch Horror Reader

Here's another thing I wrote two years back! It was an interesting concept which I really liked, so I actually really enjoyed writing this request!

Hank J Wimbleton was a grunt of many things, but not one to be scared unless he had a good reason to be. There were many things in this world he did not understand, you were one of them. Upon meeting you, his first instinct would have been to either fight or run away - who could blame him, it was all he knew. No matter how many times you reassured him that the very last thing you wanted to do was to harm him, he’d draw his weapon, uncertain of whether or not he should believe your words.

Once you show no resistance towards him whatsoever and simply restrain him using your powers or other methods, that’s when, thrashing around as much as he could, he would start listening. You may or may not have seen a grunt up close, but this was your chance to finally examine one. As you scrutinise him from every possible angle Hank realises that you were simply curious about his being and finally lowers weapon.

Your voice would likely hurt his head and freeze the blood in his veins, so you might have to resort to telepathy or speak through a marionette, if you can find one. Though, once Hank’s interest in you has been piqued, he’d be more than happy to find you one. A lot of people in Nevada seem to be redundant in the first place. Regarding telepathy: You will be able to have a two-way conversation with Hank like that, but, for the most part, he doesn’t think in words. Still, he can do so, if needed.

If you’re on the rather small side, he will make an effort to pick you up, or hold you, and bring you back to base. Depending on whether you can float or not, this might be rather difficult, but he’ll try. If you’re large, however, then he will simply “tell” you to follow him. As an eldritch being you could likely either change your form or scare away anyone in your path in the first place, so he doesn’t particularly worry about anyone being stupid enough to attack you.

Spend time with him, he’ll get used to you more and more and, eventually, grow a bond with you. Proud, he’ll show you to Doc so he can figure out what you are, but do not be fooled. Hank wants to know what you are to some degree too. Once comfortable with you and certain you won’t harm him, he’ll start observing you, touching you to some degree. See how you react, how you feel, how you are.

Despite your conversations being, for the most part, one-sided, Hank will ask you directly what you are and if you’re some form of eldritch deity. Since you’re an amicable creature he can’t exactly wrap his head around, it’s worth a try.

Although he would like to do so to some degree, he won’t take you with him on missions. It’s his way of saying “I care a great deal about you, I don’t want you to die or worse even if you are capable of defending yourself.” If you really insist on aiding him, he will let you, begrudgingly. But beware that he will have your back. In fact, having you around will give him a greater reason to fight and improve his overall performance. Though, it will also be a major stress factor to him if something were to happen to you, so choose wisely.

[flamingothing]

anyone struggle with the fact it's better than it was but it's not good still. or maybe it's not better than it was it's just different bad therefore new therefore better but not. and maybe you solved old problems but where to now. i've done so much work why isn't it good now. or whatever

when i was in the hospital my mom got me a few little “do things with your hands” kits and i ended up. not being dextrous enough to use them lmao. but i can now and i’ve been wanting to learn a new skill so i opened this little cross stitch kit and i’m now learning to cross stitch! i’m learning a lot :)

things i enjoy about cross stitching so far:

the gridded fabric means you can have my level of textile skill (read: none) and still end up with neat stitches

the stitch itself is really easy to do and you can get into a good groove

the needle itself is too dull for you to hurt yourself on which is great for my clumsy ass

filling in squares is VERY satisfying

counting. i enjoy counting immensely

the kit told me to cut the thread into 18” long strands but i didn’t bother with that meaning one needle lasted me a shit ton of stitches. satisfying to watch the string dwindle down

easy to get into, but just difficult enough to improve at that it makes me want to get better without feeling intimidated

if you fuck up it’s really easy to fix mistakes the fabric is super forgiving

this is a really good way for me to get over my fear of learning textile skills. entry point into sewing and embroidery

i’m actually pretty consistently good at threading the needle. using small individual threads makes this easier as well

things i do NOT enjoy about cross stitch so far:

i’m not very good with the thread bc i’m impatient and try to go fast and then it. tangles

because i am new and making mistakes i kept having my groove interrupted bc the thread on my needle kept tying itself into pretzel knots (this would probably be reduced if i cut the thread the way the kit said to. i am not going to bother with that)

i hateeeeee tying knots. i’m still a little clumsy with my hands and i’ve never been great at knot tying so when i have to tie thread onto the needle or finish a stitch i get very frustrated

this kit in particular has me stitching with three strands of thread when i’m pretty sure the standard is two (at least . according to the youtube tutorial i watched) and i think it is making the thread more annoying to work with

the kit also suggested i start in the center which. i get it for counting reasons esp as a beginner but starting in the middle of what i would have just made as a full row irritates me and now i have to work with that

i’m paranoid that i didn’t secure the tail of my stitch well enough and that somehow it’ll all fall out or something

somehow my thread got these tiny micro-knots that i couldn’t untie in it and i had to make sure i pulled those knots all the way through with each stitch

hilarious how men will expect you to show an interest and participate in their hobbies but whenever youre any flavor of woman and you ask them to show an interest in your hobbies its radio silence 😀

people always ask me if im going to do something with my art money-wise and it's like... not every hobby artist is destined to make money off it.

it's a huge task to get noticed online, let alone make money. it's like having another job. you have to promote and push yourself and your image. it's like running a business. and there is no way in hell i'm ever going to do that. im tired enough from working full time already. and even when i take time off... i still dont feel like i have enough time to sit down, relax, and work on my art.

and sometimes... people just want to do art as a hobby. not everyone wants to make money off it. and that's okay.
