This is one of my favorite screenshots. Even if it isn't the easiest main city to navigate because of how big it is, it is beautiful, magical, and there is something eerily peaceful about it. I love how magnificent Exodar is, and all of the purple doesn't hurt since it is one of my favorite colors. The sense of it feeling almost haunted really resonates with me, because of some of the awful thing that have happened in my past, but somehow they were still able to make something beautiful out of the tragedy. Divinity's Reach is one of my all time favorite main cities. I've always, always wanted to live in a castle so getting to have a home instance here brings a little bit of that dream to life. Sometimes I like to run around Divinity's Reach for no other reason than to just look at it and enjoy it. Seeing all of the towering walls/homes, beautiful glass, and plants really brings it together. I really like looking at the houses that are supposed to be on the other walls. Its not very traditional as far as castles go but it is a really cool use of space and gives it even more of a unique look. I want to put a house here so bad! Part of me kind of hopes that if I keep mentioning it and thinking/believing it will happen! I want housing so bad for my MMO's! Hallow's End is my favorite holiday so I like to use the picture for Silvermoon that I took during it! The pumpkins match really nicely! All those warm tones work so well to make you feel like you are in a city full of cheer, even though it is much more serious than that. Playing the Blood Elves was part of what really made me fall in love with World of Warcraft, I still remember how magical it felt to see this city for the first time and the Eversong Forest in general. I love the happy Dr. Seuss style trees and their wonderful puffs of color remind me of Autumn, which is my favorite season. New Lion's Arch, I actually liked old Lion's Arch, but New Lion's Arch is better. It still has that nautical feel that Old LA had but the whole city has a better feel. Old LA was full of brown tones and almost felt a bit dreary because of that (the boat houses were super cool though). New LA has a much cleaner and fresher feel to it. It still feels nautical with the main buildings being in the shapes of creatures from the sea. The beautiful way the blue glass makes them come alive is something magical. New LA isn't like the other cities of dreams where they are full of pretty colors and have an ancient feel to them. The other feel old and almost wise, where as this city is very new and unique. It makes a lot of sense for a port city, and sometimes I miss old LA but not for long when I load into New LA. Part of me isn't sure that Tarir counts but its my blog, and I wanted to leave off on my favorite city (even if it isn't a hub city like the others). I don't think Tarir will ever get old to me, I'm too entranced by its beauty. The warm sun reflecting on the golden arches, and the magnificent stain glass, brings such brilliance to the city. All of the little carvings and shapes designed into the walls, it looks very ancient (and it is supposed to). Arenanet put so many little details into this city, and I can't get over that, because of how much it reminds me of real ancient cities. A lot of times when we build, buildings now we don't do all of the detail work, all of the hand crafted features that were in much older constructions.
I love the ornateness of Tarir, I just wish I could see it in real life. Maybe if El Dorado is ever found this is what it will look like.

3/30/2017 0 Comments What I've been through bI don't talk about a lot of the stuff I've been through one because its in the past but mainly because I don't want to bring other people down, but it is important. What you go through makes you who you are as a person and I want to believe what I've been through happened for a reason. To start out when I was little I was an outcast, I always have been, I was good at sports but never cared enough about them to be part of the popular crowd. And at the school I went to there were two groups the popular kids and the outcasts. It hurt me but it didn't break me. I had one friend outside of school and she did not go to the same school. I wasn't sick as a child, I did manage to injure myself multiple times though. I had this terrible habit of bracing myself with only my right arm. Every single time I did something stupid on the playground I would land solely on my right arm and I broke it three times because of this (I don't know what my deal was but when I was little I just never learned to land properly when I was little). My bones were actually pretty strong as I loved milk but every single time I would put all of my weight/force into my right arm. All along this time my mom smoked and apparently bleached everything (she thought she was helping me and didn't realize how bad it was to kill all of germs, the smoking I resent but the bleach I don't because I knew she had the best intentions).
Then before high school my uncle died, but he was more like a grandfather. The only grandfather I knew on my mom's side (my mom's side was pretty fucked up, and she has been through so much it is kind of ridiculous). I remember him giving me this necklace with a promise to visit the Dakotas before he passed away. The necklace was the last thing I had to remember him by (and I was terribly upset when the chain broke, I managed to save the little cross pendant, and my mom put it on a new chain but it was never the same). He was the first death in the family that I experienced, and I took his death better than the others because I was too young to really understand fully and because I had less years with him in my life. There were other little things along the way when I went to grade school like my teachers being complete shit, I had one teacher yell at me so much and slam her hands on my desk because I was bad at spelling (and I was in second grade), another that would yell at us and actually grabbed a couple kids but the hood in a choking manor, and one that when I look back on it may have been a little pervy as he liked to pick up the little girls in kind of an odd way. This was all at a Lutheran school too. My mom also found out she had fibro around this time, and that started a pretty long journey for her. Once I started high school, things were just about the same there were the jocks and the outcasts, there wasn't really a middle ground which I always found weird but whatever. I hated that school and felt very alone as my only 2 friends went to the public high school and were very far away because of this. About around the middle of the year my mom had kidney failure (which I didn't know how bad it was at the time because my dad didn't tell me but she almost died), then I got so sick that I couldn't walk (I had mono, the flu, a cold and strep all at the same time, I don't remember anything from that time other than not being able to walk and feeling like dying). Then my dad had his brain aneurysm (this is where a blood vessel breaks in the brain, and it is very unlikely for someone to survive but he did). December 11th will forever be in my memory (and as a strange blessing God gave us my little cousin on that same day years later). He was there for 3 months and I don't remember much from this time period other than feeling very alone. I had to take care of the animals and go to school (going to school was my own choosing as I was in the middle of switching high schools, and I was pretty sure I would go crazy if I was all alone thinking about what my happen to my daddy all day. I was always a daddy's girl so this was particularly difficult for me, especially because of how long he was in the hospital and because of how many things went wrong). He almost died multiple times along the way, and what he remembers is going on boats to find his way home to me and my mom. The biggest issues he had were because of aspirating into his lungs which caused complications. I don't even remember all of the stuff that happened which often happens when you are going through so much that you can't properly cope with. I do remember being so excited that he was home that I wanted to celebrate Christmas (which we couldn't bare to celebrate without him, so the Christmas tree sat there waiting for about two and a half months), and he was so tired that it really wasn't much of a celebration and after I finished opening my presents he just went to the bed room to be left alone. It made me really sad in a way that I cannot really explain. Not long after this I started going out with my first boyfriend and he was my first true love, he unfortunately was anorexic and the more weight I lost (I was never over weight but I was at a nice healthy weight then). So to, did I become anorexic, and at first it was wonderful, finally in my life full of so many uncertainties I had control over something, having that little bit of control drove me to eat less and less and it didn't take long to fall down a very dark path. I stayed anorexic my whole time in high school and for a while after that. It wasn't long after I had started being anorexic, that we had to put our dog Jack to sleep. He was my brother, I had grown up with him pretty much as long as I remember, and we loved him dearly. He saved both my life and my grandmas. Mine when I was very little and had cellulitis in my eye (I only seemed normal sick at the time). He put his head on my feet, which was something very unusual for him and it was enough to take me to the doctor/hospital, where I stayed for a little while to get better and be monitored (it could have traveled to my brain and killed me). Then awhile after that he saved my grandma, she was smoking outside and fell off the little porch thing that we had and couldn't get back up. He insisted on going to my dad and getting him. The first time my dad didn't see her because she was wearing dark clothing (it was at night), but Jack was persistent and the second time my dad heard her and we rushed her to the hospital. He actually tried to warn us about my dad's aneurysm too but we didn't understand why he was acting to weird. For a week (or two I don't remember for sure how long he was acting weird) he kept trying to smoother my dad, he was all over him and just wouldn't leave him alone. This was the only time he ever was like that usually he listened very well, but he just bypassed that and kept on trying to tell us. He was never trained for any of this, he was just very special, so when he had to be put to sleep because he had lymphoma (a type of cancer that typically ends up going through out the whole body) we were devastated. My dad still recounts that as the worst day of his life. Family may not come the way you expect it but you can definitely find it in a lot of different place. After this my grandma (my mom's mom) was in and out of the hospital because of smoking related stuff, until she finally passed away. I don't remember much of this time because I didn't go with a lot of the time (she had dementia, so she didn't remember a lot and that was pretty hard to see). Then my grandpa died (my dad's dad) of a stroke, their deaths were about a month and a half apart so it devastated my parents, and I felt very alone during this time. My parents are not great communicators, they never were with each other so the house felt like three people living separate lives. After this I had two different abusive boyfriends. The first was just mentally abusive and not as bad, but the second was awful. This maybe a bit graphic for some but he would fuck me so hard that I would bleed, and then make me feel bad about it. He was a grade A manipulator and I lost all of my friends because of him. Likely the one good thing he did was get me into playing World of Warcraft and this game may have saved my life. I started smoking around this time as well and continued until I got my asthma and literally could not smoke anymore. I tried taking puffs of cigarette between nebulizer treatments and it didn't work. I had to stop out of necessity not choice, and it was still really hard, because cigs were like that frinemy, they were there for me when I felt like I had nothing but were also killing me (I'm still not sure how much harm they actually did since my mom is a smoker and the smoke gets in everything, and the second hand smoke is pretty much as bad as first hand but that is besides the point). My reasoning for starting smoking was was terrible too, I did it because I wanted to quit whenever I wanted because I didn't understand why it was so hard for my mom to quit. Stupid I know. I felt so alone at this point and could barely function. I had asthma attacks daily at school because of all the perfumy stuff (this includes lotions, shampoos, conditioners, laundry detergents, cleaners, and the list goes on and on). I was one two medications, and my nebulizer treatments every 4 hours and it just wasn't enough, and at this time my asthma was very violent. I coughed instead of wheezed, so I would pull muscles in my bad and rip up my throat from all of the coughing. I was goth during this time period and was taking a French class (a language I actually wanted to learn), and I told these girls to stop with the E news (they were gossiping about other people) and pay attention to the teacher one time (my teacher was very mousy and would just let them talk over her), and after that they made my life hell. Intentionally putting on perfumes and lotions to make me have asthma attacks, they even "joked" about killing me, and that is one of the things I still have a hard time with. It is really amazing how cruel people can be because of so little. I had to finish high school online because it got so bad, and was horribly sick for a month after I left, my body could not take it anymore, especially while I was still anorexic. Not long after this my grandma died (my dads mom), and I had a really hard time with this, I was close to my grandma and knew she loved me no matter what. I would spend a lot of time at their house when I was little and that love that she gave never let me. I was so broken at this point that I didn't even want to go to her funeral, I had a terrible panic attack (which my parents could have handled better because they thought I was just being ridiculous, sometimes I still feel bad about it because their loss was greater than mine, but I was so lost at this point, I was so broken, that I couldn't take anymore death). Somewhere in the time period before this my mom had potassium so low that she almost died, the nurses actually said that they had never seen someone alive with such low potassium before (I am not exactly sure when this happened though, some of the memories mesh together in time because so many things happened). For awhile after this I stayed anorexic, and it wasn't until my current boyfriend that I started getting better. He is my light when times feel darkest and we pulled each other out of these pits of despair that we were in. He helped me through so much of this, all of which I had been holding onto. He also helped me through the things that I went through after I met him. My kitty died a couple of weeks/days (I don't remember) before my 21st birthday. She was actually a little bit older than me when she passed away, and when I told her I loved her over the phone she did this very sweet little meow, like she understood. She was very special to me, we had formed a strong bond before I moved and even when I came to visit she was happy to see me (kind of unusual for a cat, to be happy to see you right off the bat, normally they are mad at you). She was a sweet kind soul that had a lot of sass, and I told her all the time that she was "the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world". For awhile after this I didn't have health insurance and was in horrible pain for months, I had to go in and out of the ER because I didn't know what was going on, every month around the same time, I felt like I was dying (at this point I had started getting much better, both with the anorexia and the mental health, so this horrible pain was a big slap in the face). I had no idea where to turn, so I did a lot of research and figured out that I had endometrosis (it is where tissue grows where it isn't supposed to). Finally I got health insurance and for a year, they did test after test and found nothing. Finally they said lets do an exploratory laparoscopy and see what we find, and to the gynecologist surprise I had endometrosis (I felt very vindicated). Things were starting to get better after they finally figured out what was going on, during this year I was also having a lot of issues with my wisdom teeth (they were all coming in crooked) and had to see an emergency dentist to get them pulled. They took out three at one time, and the girl who did it should have had a surgeon help her (she was a student) but thought she was good enough to do it by herself, she was wrong. I had to come back three times (once for each tooth) because things were still going wrong, and this was what caused my TMJ. Upsetting to say the least. Now I was scared after this to get the last one pulled by finally had to as it was badly impacted and causing me a ton of pain. The next girl who did this used the wrong tool for an hour and a half. For one tooth to be pulled it took 2 hours and was only successfully pulled by the surgeon (why he didn't step in sooner I don't know). Now after this every time I had to go back to this dentist I would have a panic attack. I was scared shitless and in a ton of pain still. Finally when they said they had no idea what was wrong I gave up and tried to find somewhere else. This dentist was good and nice at first, he filled a couple of cavities and was like oh your in so much pain because your jaw bones are contently grinding together (something the other dentist did not notice at all, or even think to look at). He was all fine and good until I had to get a root canal done, they referred me to someone and the place was awful, it was crazy sketchy and they had to have a window open and have an oxygen mask on me to do the procedure because of how perfumy it was. I told them three times that I had had a lot of problems with my teeth and not to leave the filling high, and they just didn't listen left it high and it caused, the tooth to have a hairline fracture (the next dentist I went to, to have it removed actually did it in ten minutes it was crazy, after all the trouble I had, had it was pretty unexpected for it to go so smoothly). The new dentist that referred me would not fix it even though I told them that I could not go back to that place and pleaded with them. They hung up on me multiple times (I was pretty afraid of the dentist after this point but my new dentist actually helped me get over that, they take care of a lot of people who have had terrible experiences with other dentist, and to my amazement actually listen). As a side note but an important one through all of these procedures I was awake so I felt and saw all of it. Now in between my tooth finally getting pulled and going through multiple dentist, I had four of my pets die. All of them died pretty close together and it happened in less than a year, and this was a huge blow, especially because I didn't get to say goodbye to two of them (and they were like my pets, my parents and I each had animals that were more like our pets, basically we each had a very strong bond with them and they loved us more than the other people). It happened so fast that once I was finally starting to heal from one passing another did, and another and another. It took an emotional toll on me especially because two of them were still pretty young and I really thought I was going to see them again. This leads up to the exhaustion and pain I've been having. I don't know where my story will go from here or what is going on. But I will keep fighting as long as I have to and eventually will figure out what is going on. Until then I am continuing to work on me, emotional and physically. 3/30/2017 0 Comments Battlegrounds in Guild Wars 2I'm not much of a WvW person but I do like larger scale battles. I think having some battlegrounds would be pretty cool, and having it so guilds could que up for them would be a nice idea. One of the big things in the first Guild Wars was guilds being able to fight each other and that has been kind of lost (other than in WvW) in the second Guild Wars 2. Since I play WoW I am pretty used to battlegrounds and having these larger scale battles with various different game types, and I feel like Guild Wars 2 has the right setting for this as well. They wouldn't have to be as big of battle grounds but some larger scale maps feel like they should be in order. Along with some other pvp types. I know that Arenanet wants the Esports scene to grow and doing this could help with that. To support this they would have to make pvp more rewarding with there being something that you could only get that season (in the other competitive games I play having something like this really helps the pvp flourish, if you can only get something this one time that means that you actually have to be playing it, and that helps to add to the community). And longer pvp seasons would be a bad idea, this would give the chance for the players to achieve whatever that special reward was. I can envision crazy siege battles where some would have to run supplies, others would be using the siege, and of course fighting (for the record I liked stronghold a lot actually, but it can be pretty base racy). I really thinking adding in some larger maps that allow guilds to fight each other would be good for the community as it could bring some of the Guild Wars 1 players over. Having some more capture the flag style, tower siege, and different type of resource gathering maps would be great. I hope that these things will be added as I would like to see the pvp community grow and having a middle ground between WvW and Spvp would be nice! CategoriesAll Crochet Guild-wars-2 Guild-wars-2 League Of Legends Life Overwatch World-of-warcraft World-of-warcraft Right now you have to run all the way back from a graveyard to where ever you were, and normally they are located in kind of weird places. Basically you get punished for dying, whether you died afk, from getting ganked or what have you it doesn't matter. I know you aren't supposed to die but I don't see a reason to be punished for it either.
Instead of having to run all the way back from a graveyard, why not rez at a flightpath. It would be similar to the idea of rezzing at Waypoints in Guild Wars 2 which is considerably more convenient most of the time or even moving some of the graveyards by the flightpaths would be nice (I know some of them are by the flightpaths already but more of them could be). Making the person run back to their body adds a certain amount of misery to dying that isn't really necessary. At the very least it would be so much nice if upon death you could fly back to your body. Some graveyards have this and others don't but it is so much nicer compared to having to run back to your body. Sometimes there are mountains in the way or other impassible terrain which means you have to run all the way around when it would be a pretty fast rez if you could just fly over them. I realize that this could be bad if there was a bunch of open world PvP going on as it would allow people to respawn faster but there really isn't that much open world PvP anymore. Most people will just one shot people and leave it at that or go into battlegrounds or arenas for PvP. Personally I think being able to rez at flightpaths would be the nicest idea as you could just leave if you were getting ganked, but having all of the graveyards with flying would be a pretty close second. For the flightpath idea some areas could use more flightpaths for this to be viable, which I wouldn't mind. Having more flightpaths would be nice and adding them could be part of one of the mini events that are going on in World of Warcraft. A permanent camp could be set up because of these mini events and then a new flightpath can show up out of no where. Either way I think it would be nice to have less penalties for dying, you don't play a game so you can be penalized for dying, you play it so you can enjoy it, and changing this would allow people to have more time to enjoy them game! 3/28/2017 0 Comments Sparkle McSparklepantsShe is a cute little unicorn, so of course she had to have a cute and silly name! I wanted to make a unicorn because I hadn't made one yet (and I have no idea why since mythical creatures are kind of my thing). Since she is an amigurumi she had to be extra cute, when you get/make stuffed animals that is kind of the point. They are meant to make you happy and feel cuddly. I thought about making her mane a couple of different ways but decided to go with the rainbow mane since it feels cuter and more fun. I considered doing a gold mane and a silver one but I really like how the rainbow mane turned out. I also considered doing a silver horn but with all the bright colors in the mane the gold one seemed to fit better and still stand out. Silver here felt like it could get lost a little, and whats a unicorn without a noticeable horn! I think she turned out really cute and I keep sticking her on my boyfriend arm when he is playing games. Turns out she sits pretty nicely on someones arm/shoulder without falling XD. I think it is funny to have her just kind of hanging out with us while we game and I have a habit of making my boyfriend cuddle the amigurumis I make...
I love Sparkle McSparklepants and I am happy to have my very own unicorn! The button takes you to the Etsy listing! Feeling bad for the toxic person does not mean that they shouldn't be punished. Sometimes they don't even realize how bad their behavior is and need the punishment to realize their wrong doing. With that said though, you should feel bad for the toxic person. I know it is easy to get angry back or even let them get to you but most of the time it really has nothing to do with you. The toxic person is that way because they are unhappy in real life. Happy people don't go out of their way to make others unhappy, there is no reason to when you are happy. When you are really happy you just want others to join in and feel as happy as you are, its intoxicating and infectious. It could just be a bad day, and that person is lashing out because of it. It could be multiple bad days, or a situation that they feel stuck in, whatever it is, it is bringing them down. This doesn't mean that every unhappy person is going to take it out on others but the unhappiness definitely can make it easy to do so. I'm sure you've had a time in your life where you were mad about something and someone else came along not really doing anything to you but you still got upset with them anyways. This is much easier to do in video games because of the anonymity and there are probably a lot of people who don't feel bad about it because they didn't have to see the other persons reaction. You don't have to accept that persons behavior as normal, mute, block, report them, and hopefully they will realize what they've done wrong. If you are on the other end of this and are the toxic person, troll, or griefer, take some time to figure out what is truly bothering you. Are you in physical or emotional pain? Is there someone who upset you and you didn't talk to them about it? Are you in a situation that is making you unhappy? Did you just have a bad day? The list goes on, but if you use that energy to figure out a solution to the problem instead of taking it out on others you can put yourself in a much better place. Even if there isn't a solution to the problem, you could still cope with it in a more productive way. You shouldn't bottle up your emotions but there is a better way to deal with them than taking it out on others. If you don't know what that is look it up, there are tons of different things you can do to help yourself, not all of them may work for you but if you take the time you will find one that does you can and will be happy. There is no reason to stay miserable when you could be doing something to change your situation, even if that change is just the way you look at it. CategoriesAll Crochet Guild-wars-2 League Of Legends Life Overwatch World-of-warcraft 3/26/2017 0 Comments Cursed Shore in Guild Wars 2If you started playing after Heart of Thorns came out you probably won't understand the importance of Cursed Shore. Before Heart of Thorns this was the place to be. It was the highest level zone and the one that had the best events for farming for legendaries. Even now it is a great place to be because it gives you some of the top tier materials that you will need to make the legendaries (I took this screenshot at a weird hour in the morning on a Friday and there are still two commanders here).
If you are looking for tier 6 materials this is still one of the best places to go, as the risen carry a lot of them and the events bring wave after wave to you. I had become all too familiar with this place as I built twilight, it was a very long and grindy journey but eventually I got there and this place became my home along the way. I spent many hours killing these risen for the tier 6 material and am truly glad that this is no longer the main end zone. This is a very dreary place to be especially at night time, and if you get a close up on those risen they are actually pretty scary. I started having nightmares about the stupid spiders here at one point. Those spiders... This place this holds strong in my memory but all the memories may not be good. I definitely prefer being in the jungle where there are so many prettier things to look at, and the different cycles of the maps ,that give you different events to do. I also really appreciate the way the legendary journey has changed, as that was the main reason you would spend so much time here. This used to be a very important place but I am glad that that has changed, and hope that one day the story will take us back here, but in the story it will become a beautiful place again, like it was once supposed to be. Maybe it will receive a makeover like Lions Arch, I can only imagine how wonderful it would be, but I look forward to it if that time ever comes! Miss Fortune is a pretty mobile champion other than during her ultimate. Her strut makes her pretty fast, and allows for better positioning, and ease of dodging skill shots. With the rest of her kit it seems weird that she can't move during her ultimate. She still has to be pretty close to her targets unlike Jhin and is easy to cc and kill during her ultimate. I think it would be better if she had a smaller ultimate cone but was able to move like Lucian. Since she is a pretty mobile character otherwise, having to stop to do her ultimate just seems off, it doesn't really feel like it fits her kit properly, and on top of that in the Assassins/Tank meta having to stop moving to do an ultimate at such close range can definitely mean death. I've always liked Miss Fortune, I thought she was fun but as I don't like being an ADC it makes it difficult to want to play her. Even as a support, the other champions that come to mind when thinking about someone who has to stand still to ultimate, have a much larger range. For a couple of seasons now Miss Fortune hasn't felt on par with the other ADC's, she has been sitting at the bottom of the barrel of ADC's and I think reducing the size of her ultimate but allowing her to move during it could bring her back. This season has not been easy for ADC's and making someone who is shorter range immobile on top of it doesn't seem like the way to go. I would love to see her ultimate updated! CategoriesAll Crochet Guild Wars 2 League Of Legends Life Overwatch World Of Warcraft 3/24/2017 0 Comments Coming UndoneI thought hey lets mix it up and do a blog based off of the first song that comes on on Pandora. It just so happened to be Coming Undone by Korn. I used to associate with this song really well. During High School there was a mix of abusive relationships, deaths in the family, anorexia, and some bullying. I felt like I was drowning, High School was a time I would never want to go back to. A time that made me feel so small I feel a bit ashamed to talk about it.
It is also a time that made me strong. I survived, I survived all of it some of the hardest things that I will probably face in my life and I survived all of them. All of my Grandparents died when I was in High School, both of my parents almost died (my mom twice, my dad once) and my Uncle right before I got into High School, along with the dog that was my brother and who saved my life. That's kind of a lot to be mashed into about 4 years. So of course this song felt like something I could relate to, I felt like my world was crumbling around me. But because of each of those experiences I am stronger. I know some people have had it worse than me but that doesn't change that it was still a lot, or that I am stronger because of it. Some experiences are terrible, they really suck and it feels like you will never get through them, but you will. As long as you don't give up you will get through, whatever terrible event is happening. I know you will because I did, and I'm sure that a lot of people would say the same. If you do go through something terrible/are going through something terrible, please do something different than I did. I held onto those burdens for so long because I didn't talk about it. I didn't let myself feel, it is so important cope with your emotions. If something if hurting you talk to whoever is doing it or someone you can trust. If that doesn't work find a way to express yourself, through writing, drawing, or some creative release. I held onto those burdens for longer than I should have because I felt like I had to be strong for my family, but in the process I hurt myself. I went to anorexia which now I still have some health issues because of (it is literally starving your organs, so I don't know what else I expected but it was also the only thing I felt like I had control of). -100/10 I would never do again nor would I EVER advise as a way to cope. It is very important to find healthy ways to cope with pain, if you don't know how look online, or in books there are tons of help books. If you ever feel lost or unsure of how to deal with a situation or your emotions to it take the time to find out what you can do, and I mean this to everyone. It is much healthier to deal with emotions and painful events than it is to just bottle it up. If you don't you may explode like a bottle that has been shaken too many times. As a last thought, I promise you things get better, just have faith that they will get better, and take the time to learn how to emotionally cope with those situations/events. 3/23/2017 0 Comments Pokemon I've madePikachu with his little quest heart (Guild Wars 2 themed). I had to make Pikachu because he is the most iconic pokemon (also because I love Pikachu, who doesn't?!). I took him apart a bunch of times, it is a normal ritual while making something new but it was probably a little bit extra with him, because of how well loved he is. He had to be as close to perfect as possible. I think he is even cuter with the little quest heart and it has become his heart because of this! Psyduck is extra special to me because he was one of the first bigger amigurumis I ever made, and on top of that he has some unique features that I were interesting to figure out. I actually made him while my boyfriend was playing pokemon go (I didn't have a phone that could play it, as I had a tracfone, and that was fine because I got to sit outside and crochet :)). I would sit and snuggle his body as I went about making the rest of him! I wasn't really a Psyduck person before making him, but he won me over! Snorlax was extra special for the person he was for because the finished Snorlax has a name on his tummy. I was told that when he arrived they wouldn't stop snuggling him, which is adorable!! I love hearing that kind of stuff! It makes me very happy when my work is so well loved, and when I get to make something special for someone! It is really cool when I get to make unique gifts because you won't find them anywhere else and they mean something extra to the person they are for. I love doing custom colors on things and making new things because of this!
