Some old narrow gauge Nia doodles I’ve done over the past month, Nia’s livery was inspired by 🌺mrterrier673🌺 on Twitter
Saw some edits of Nia with glasses and I fell in love we need more engines with accessories
Some pannier shaped siblings, they met pre-msr days (they didn’t come in the same time)but were very happy to reunite with one another in the msr then in the Skarloey Railway 😊☺️
Their sibling friendship/relationship is like alastor and Rosie or Mary and jack, Nia didn’t care about Stanley’s “jinx” and defended him whenever he got bullied, she’s one of the very few folks who can make Stanley genuinely happy and do things like singing much to his colleagues surprise (also livery inspiration for one another♥️❤️🧡💜💛🖤)

Y'all are gonna think I'm so weird.
But I'm running with this idea I've had for a while for my mcl ocs. Well, other than the actual other mcl ocs I've made.
It's part lazy, part bizarre.
Clones.
Yep, clones.
My MCL NG oc is a clone of the original Puku, but different. I haven't figured out the details yet, but it's like what I did with Pukun, Puku's male clone. It has the idea of a type of clone theory idea of nature vs nurture. The DNA and nature of the puku clones is the same, but the nurture is always a bit different depending on circumstances. Puku "prime" is the parent of all the clones made, but Puku "prime" had a different parentage and upbringing than the clones. Not to mention, the events of each mcl game has different outcomes for clone Puku.
This Puku has -teal- hair and is a zoomer, I guess. Raised by Puku "prime" and has the existential grappling of dealing with being a clone in general.
There's... still a lot of ironing out to do. Like... Where does Kentin fit into all this? How should I incorporate the family given to Puku 2.0 in New Generation?
Why am I giving this plot to an MCL OC!??
lol

I've been doing crochet for a few months for…reasons, mostly mental health, and getting better at it! And in the interest of being less shy, lets try sharing some of what I've done so far:
Goblin. One of my earliest, hadn't got the tension going yet. Still cute. Ears. The cute nubby horns were originally warts on the pattern, but I didn't like that so repositioned them to be horns. Done with yarn pulled from my grandma's rejects bag, it's a really nice shiny copper in real life. Pattern by Hello Yellow Yarn (MJ Carlos), published in Unicorns, Dragons and More Fantasy Amigurumi my Meteoor Books.
Unicorn, was possibly overambitious here, working in slubby wool (it was perfectly unicorn coloured, unfortunately doesn't photo well, especially with my dodge camera skills) and came out with a really nice texture. Wouldn't have worked with a more intricate design, but was fine here, as it's basically just orbs. Pattern by Anabu Crochet, published in Unicorns, Dragons and More Fantasy Amigurumi my Meteoor Books.
Dragon. I'm really pleased with this one, got the tension good. The main body/tail/limbs are in variegated wool, which is how it's come out stripy. Pattern by DIY Fluffies, published in Unicorns, Dragons and More Fantasy Amigurumi my Meteoor Books (Been working a lot out of that book, it's really good, and got the sequel for Christmas).
My most recent one, a kit my brother bought for me (at my request). As a kit, relatively high quality, yarn is from the company's Bernat range (artificial fibre, unfortunately) and it feels gorgeous (primarily, the details are in fairly poor-feeling acrylic). Instructions are…fine, if a bit vague in places (in particular, working out what they wanted for the wings). Still inclined to keep the pattern on hand, though, the design is quite nice and I'd be inclined to try again once I've got a bit more practice and confidence. I didn't manage to get the tension quite right again, the chest is a bit holey, but overall, really nice, been cuddling it since I finished it. Kit is Draco Dragon, produced by Creative World of Crafts in their Knitty Critters range, pattern credited to Mandy Cameron

Okay I've read the main body of SVSSS. I think it's really good as a meta parody and gives some interesting insight into MXTX's mind- I think some of the criticism of her work is unfair and this book is a pretty good example in parts (the running commentary about misogyny in stallion novels is a lot more unambiguous than her accurately depicting misogyny in others wirks like MDZS, though I don't understand why the latter gets read as an indication of her as a person).
However I don't think it works well as a romance story. There are main two problems; one,that while all of MXTX's main characters are people that have gone through the wringer and lashed out on others because of it, sometimes in really grusome and reprehensible ways, we get to see who they are not just before it goes to shit, but after they've acted in a such a way and either by intentional choice or just the passing of time, behave in a kinder and more upright manner. SVSSS's main story ends right after LBH isn't being an antagonistic force driven to the pits. Additionally, LBH is (understandably) a very misanthropic character which makes the way you'd show him learning how to be a person not driven by grief, fear, and anger different.
The other point is SY/SQQ's internalized homophobia is handled in a way that distracts somewhat from his feelings for LBH, and this combines with a lot of the things taken as romantic by other characters being misinterpretions of his internal world. Some of the latter seems to be him bullshitting himself though- "I'm not crying because I'm facing down my beloved student who I've failed horribly and hates me before I off myself without knowing for sure if my contingency plan will work, the sun's just in my eyes", sure Jan. Given how WWX acts its clear that MXTX now knows how to balance internalized homophobia with the character falling in love even if he doesn't realize it, and TGCF doesn't really have internalized homophobia on the protagonists part as far as I've read, he's just a sworn virgin. (However one could argue HC had some issues when he was human depending on how you read the Land of the tender scene).
SVSSS is short compared to her other works, and while I'm not sure how one would do it, having us spend some time with LBH and SQQ after they've gotten rid of his evil sword and SQQ is helping him work through his misanthropy, desire for control, and abandonment issues would improve their relationship from a story perspective, especially because of how obsessive and unhealthy LBH has spent... 8 years of his life regarding SQQ. There's already a foundation with LBH taking SQQ back to his home peak to be taken care of after his near death experience and leaving alone when he gets chased off, and SQQ choosing to go with him with no pressure on him to do so other than LBH's wellbeing (which is no longer tied to things like the apocalypse). I just think there needs to be a bit more between that and what I'm reading in the extras so far.
And it is needed because of how much LBH's dark behavior was directed at SQQ. WWX's dark behavior wasn't so targeted, LWJ's had an instance of targeting but a large part of the novel has been about him doing his best to respect WWX's boundaries and not repeat his parents relationship. I'm not up to snuff on what happened after XL's first banishment yet so I'll keep quiet on that. LBH is so desperate for this one person's affection that he almost destroys the world to ensure he has no other choice but him (and they have terrible fuck or die sex that no one enjoys about it). Evil sword possession making him decide this was a good idea or no, to work as a satisfying romance story, you need to after of all that. Especially because the evil sword had the ability to push him that far because of how chaotic and wrecked his mental and spiritual state were. They're still wrecked.

playing tott is making me think about a possible bokumono au with some pokémon characters...
i could see melony being a seamstress that wants gordie to take over the family business, but he decides to become an blacksmitch's apprentice to improve his metalworking skills instead. his true passion is jewelry-making and he actually has a huge following for his work on social media.
byron is said blacksmith and has a rivalry with melony, made even worse by him taking her son on as an apprentice. (no, they don't realize how similar they are and get mad at people even suggesting that to be the case.) his son, roark, is often found working in the local mines (which are owned by clay) to uncover gems and fossils. he's good friends with gordie and brings him extra materials to make jewelry with.
lenora runs the museum & library with her husband, which houses much of roark's and her own discoveries. cheren lives with her and has come to town to be a teacher, despite his own young age. lucian helps look after the library and is a big fan of the writer, shauntal, who he doesn't realize also lives in town due to her using a pen name.
zinnia is a mysterious local who's family has lived in town since before it was even founded, she usually hangs around the ruins found in the forest. it's later revealed that she's devoted to serving the harvest goddess and hopes to save the town from ruin by reawakening her, but she can't seem to help retore the goddess's power like the farmer can...
