An Evening In Ketterdam

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately....

I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...

To put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived."

- Henry David Thoreau | Dead Poets Society

😢 oh, Neil

I'm gonna act!

I think it’s very fun and beautiful that there are nontraditional fic formats that certain fandoms can do and do well, and whole genres of fic that are popular in one fandom that you may never see in another

Can’t believe we’ve already reached the last chapter! So here it is, one last time:

Chapter 7: The end of a long and exciting journey!

I just wanted to quickly thank everyone who’s been reading along and leaving kudos and comments! ✨ I’m rambling more about it in the chapter notes, but the whole writing process and the setting of this fic have been one of my absolute favourites. I’ve genuinely enjoyed every part of working on this story, which is why it means so much if you’ve decided to read it. Thank you! 💛

Creativity is a muscle - something inherently exercise-able. That’s what I’ve been taught, anyway.

Sometimes I worry that my imagination has rusted away, atrophied, disintegrated. But then I have the most interesting dream, and it tells me not to worry.

All is not lost.

My everyday life demands more and more of my attention these days. My window of opportunity for living in daydream ether becomes smaller and smaller by the week, it seems. A part of my brain is panicking, saying I don’t have enough time - I feel like that’s part lie.

But complacency has its damage. Its toll.

And it’s hard not to listen to that part-alarm, part-siren in my head, when for so long all I wanted to do was create.

I’d be a fool to ignore it, even if it’s just an anxious attempt to keep that part of me alive and well.

Because I do care about the little lost artist. She is me, after all.

I finally need to share the beautiful pokopiku commission I got from alora a while ago 🥺 I'm still so much in love with it!

This is so cute! Those eyebrows and glasses!!!! hehehe

... yes, I crocheted Levi and Hange as teddy bears. 😂 I don't have any AOT or Levihan merch (yet?), so instead, I made this to soothe my merch cravings haha. xD

Hange's glasses probably took longer than one entire bear, lol; I formed them out of wire and then wrapped yarn around it. They're removable.

I might give them both hats in their corresponding colours, or add something else - we'll see. 😆

how do you do, fellow Creatives™
