Graaaaaaaahahahaha...
Personally seeing stuff like this is a little frustrating... I really want to see what ideas or tricks creators have up their sleeves, and I'm truly curious to see what exactly is in their minds. But I understand that this is a source of money for them and projects like that would take some effort, so they have to be practical and keep the algorithm in mind. I just hope they get to the point where they have to worry less about limitations like that.
Thank you guys for the help, I appreciate it!!!
Also thanks to @souvlia for the poll suggestion!
I just passed the 2/3 mark for the tapestry, I’ve got about 47 more rows to go and some finishing touches. I think the next update will be the finished piece.

Passages from audios that have stuck with me, pt. 2
"Think of a time when you achieved something that made you proud... think of that moment when you told someone that you looked up to, and their face lit up with joy. Or when you smiled to yourself with a feeling of fulfillment because of all the work you put into something. Think of it... what was it? Yes, child, you see? That head on your shoulders possesses one brilliant mind indeed. I'm proud of you for what you have achieved. Don't compare it to anyone else. Your success is yours. Revel in it." (Comforted by the God of recovery)
"What I have created, what I have been through- you think silly thoughts and paranoia would stop me? I'm not going anywhere, because there are still people out there who enjoy my work. There are still people out there that make art of my creations [...] I still have people saying how much of an inspiration I can be to them [...] and how my work has gotten them through tough times. [...] There is one thing I do have, and that's the loyalty and love of the beautiful and brilliant fucking niche community who are just as wacky and weird as I am! And that's just the way I like it. [...] If my work makes one of my wacky family smile, then I've achieved my goal." (The Reddening 6)
"Twinkle? It's been an honor to share a bit of time with one of my favorite listener characters. You are truly wonderful, and it brings me so much joy to know how loving and caring you are, despite the endless shit that you've had to endure- kinda like my audience! It won't get any better for a while, but I promise you one thing- you don't get any colder as a result. Your heart stays warm. It is in fact your warmth and kindness that will save you... and save us all. Goodbye, Twinkle." (The Reddening 6)

Favorite moments from playing Smash Bros. with my bestie:
Always happens, both of us struggling to set up the Switch for two-player mode (neither of us have one, but campus has a game room)
"PK FIRE! PK FIRE! PK FIRE-" "CAN YOU JUST LET ME WIN ONE TIME-"
Her summoning the eldritch Pokemon gods to strike me down
One of our main goals is to get the Shadow the Hedgehog assist trophy because he's my boi
Me immediately falling off the stage once we DO get Shadow because I'm too busy fangirling
Both us screaming happily because one of us got Alucard or Waluigi
Me struggling to figure out how to use Madam Butterfly while playing as Bayonetta
Finally figuring it out- "WHOAAAAAAA-" "QUICK DO IT AGAIN-" "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID, BEE-"
Both of us screaming in terror as one of us got The Moon as an assist trophy (I HATE that thing.)

Fearful, very fearful- OH MY GOD YOU WON THE FIGHT- nope, imma take non-gaming self back to the sidelines, clearly there's a gamer girl in the room AND IT AIN'T ME-
Hi, Mage!! Got another nerdy question for you, forgive me-
Who do you main in Smash Bros? I don't play it often, but Sonic and Bayonetta are my favorites- when I'm not catapulting off the stage because I lost control of spin dash.
-🖤🐈⬛
ICies and Young Link mainly!
an excuse to use this stream graphic I never got around to using!
sooooooon....
Favorite moment from Mage's and M's Portal Co-op:
Mage: "Ban me from talking for five minutes? How are we gonna be able to solve this if I'm not allowed to talk?" [laughs]
M: "He's the smart one, don't make him shut up!"
"Don't say that!"
"I need him to speak aloudddddd!"
[a minute later]
"So I think in the pa-" [pause] [breaks into laughter]
"Hm?"
[whispers] "Check chat."
"I- I only have the one monitor, it's hard for me to go back and forth right now-"
"I've got a five-minute voice ban, I'll talk in five minutes."
"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO, MOONCHILDSS WHYYYYYYYYY-"
[muted Mage laughing in the corner]
Hellooooooooo lovelies, need some help with the tapestry if you got a minute-
And these are what the stitches would look like:
Also I'm not sure what color the border would be?? The background is gray, so maybe the dark purple I've been using to help tie in the design.
FELLOW ASMR YARNIVORE AAAAAAAAAAAAA-
THIS LOOKS AMAZING, YOU DID SO GOOD!!!!!
I made a Mage Bunkshelf’s Mitch sweater
I started it a while ago but I had to wait for some yarn to restock. This had a lot of firsts. It’s my first Sweater (my hubris didn’t allow me to use a pattern, I just made one up as I went), it’s my first tapestry/intarsia crochet, I also learned how to crochet with my left hand, alternating right and left between rows to always be working from the front, and I learned how to knit for the ribbing. Sadly it’s getting to warm to wear it now, but it’s going to see a lot of use when it gets colder again.
Is Tristan’s nickname for the listener “Gumpy”-
Also read the description for the video, GREAT MOVE, and it also provides some nice little threads for the more hardcore Crumpets (just hope he’s taking breaks and resting- also apparently I need to listen to Andrew and Kayson again XD)
Edit: Your Honor, I love him, he’s a great guy friend and I REALLY hope nothing ruins their friendship if this series continues- SO THAT’S WHY THE NICKNAME IS GUMPY AAAAAAAAA-

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEATLEY JUST GETS YEETED INTO SPACE-
KYA, I WASN'T EXPECTING A WHOLE VIDEO EXPLANATION, LET'S GO-
THANK YOU, MAGE! Okay this makes sense now.
Also I have the memory of a goldfish so if I DO end up playing this, I'll be happily struggling to solve the puzzles. But I might get them, I do like sassy robot characters.
Watching your Portal streams and I'm very upset that Wheatley turned evil 😭 I want my robot buddy backkkkk-
Also why is it that when you open portals you can sometimes see a copy of yourself going in through the other??

seriously though if you haven't played Portal or Portal 2 (sorry if I've now spoiled the puzzles!) those are two games I think everyone should play at some point! they both go on sale very very cheap very often!
and thank you for the tea spell ^ ^
KYA, I'm HOOKED on your work... I just hope you guys are proud of what you've made and done... because it truly is lovely 🖤🐈⬛
Anyway, THERE'S YOUR TUMBLR BLOG- *smacks follow button*
Guess who's back~
Back again~
... No, not you V, get out of here-
FernVA: Ok I don't know what counts as "underrated" in this community- BUT FERN IS UNDERRATED CUZ WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTT-
Mental state: @itzscribz Scribz, thank you Scribz, Scribz you're amazing, thank you for the suggestion-
Favorite audio: Break of Dawn, Reuniting with a Forest Demon
Audio I thought I'd dislike but ended up loving: Reuniting with a Forest Demon (I'M GOING TO CRYYYY)
Random thoughts:
*searches up Fern's channel* *sees how many videos are on it* *takes deep breath* "Ok we're not gonna get attached, we're going to enjoy their work but we are NOT going to get attached like we did with the others-"
Once again, starting with the oneshots- WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S AN SCP AUDIO ON HERE-
The Skyrim readings were lovelyyyyyyyyy, the narration was perfect... *staring at the screen after Tamriel Tales* OK THAT WAS AMAZING WOWWWWW- bro that's like one of the stories I'd read when I was younger!
The forest demon is about to make me sob on campus HAVE MERCY ON MY POOR HEART OMG-
Ok, Break of Dawn time, a lot of people like this I think...
So it's related to one of Good Boy's series so I should probably get into his channel (for some reason I am nervous to start watching his audios, I don't know why, just something about the 72 horses XD)
OK SO FAR EVERYONE'S REALLY CUTE, I LIKE THEM.
This is seriously the type of sci-fi story I adore-
I GOT ATTACHED, GOSH FREAKING DARN ITTTTTTTTT-
I really like how Fern's voice sounds... gentle at times, soothing, which makes it all the more intimidating when listening to the SCP audios- and then YARGWYNNNNNNNN, listen I would absolutely join that crew in a heartbeat, they all sound so cool-

*looks at notes*
*looks at Mitch and JayJay*
No, I don't have a type when it comes to favorite characters, what do you mean-
Random question, does anyone know a VA that’s done a murder mystery/whodunit audio? Finished The Residence on Netflix and my 12 year old, Agatha Christie loving self is pounding at my door.
Psst.
If I may offer,,,
*leans in* *pads over to look over your shoulder*
Thank you, lovelyyyyyy~ *runs to binge*
(Your art is absolutely amazing btw, I freaking ADORE the Nem and Mitch animation 😭🙏🏾🫶🏾🖤)
*gestures to shattered heart on table* That’s FINE, I didn’t need it anyway-
drawing this gave me damage in every meaning of the word
Passages from audios that have stuck with me
"I'm an angel. You're a demon. No. But... I'm a person. You're a person. We're both just... people. On that count, yeah. We are. There's more to it than just where we come from." (Fallen Angel, vol. 2)
"Did you enjoy your food? Don't look at me like that- yes or no? Did you enjoy your food? Yeah? Even though it's ultimately meaningless, you still enjoyed it. Cuz here's the thing- who cares about ultimately meaningless? Are you ultimate? No. You're just- someone. And that food, it matters to you now. This park- one day it'll be gone. The station will be scrapped, and everything you see here will be dead. All that work that went into building it and maintaining it... but we still derive value from it for the time it was here. In the moment we experienced it. That's all that's needed for something to matter- for there to be someone to whom it mattered." (Alien Abduction, vol. 3)
"Maybe this is nuts... but... let's go out for a walk. Now. Skies have cleared up so... um... I dunno, the co-op and back? Just... no hats. [...] Just as yourself. I will if you will... show the world you're proud of who you are. You said you never knew many nekos, maybe- maybe if I came with, that'd- help? [...] Maybe we'd run into someone else who's doing the same... having to hide. Another neko or another demi-human." (Neko Listener, vol. 2)
"I thought that like- if there are more of us, then maybe I can find out how they live. Learn from them. See how they figured things out. Seeing them as- like- part of normal life, it made me realize I don't have have to hide anymore, right? Not anymore... so I got a job." (Mitch the Raccoon, vol. 6)
"No, it's not my intention to fix you. It's not my duty to either. I take how I find you and tend to it. Gather all the pieces together and see the many different pictures I can make. Because your beauty deserves to be admired, and I admire it. In your world, you all are obsessed with making things perfect. Looking perfect, feeling perfect, this has to be perfect. There is no such thing as perfection. You created that yourselves and then stress over something that can never be achieved. A concept that isn't real. [...] It isn't to stop perfection. It's how you are supposed to be- not perfect but existing."(The Demon, Episode 3)
"If Serulla's charm no longer appeals to you, you might have to ask yourself why. Death of passion is the death of devotion." (The Noble Trials, Episode 6)
"We will always be treated like malignants. Hunted. They will never stop, and you know this. There is no pride in dying for a future that is already against us. It's a waste." (Dontis: The Incubus and the Vampire)

... Um-
*rubs back of neck*
Yeah hun, definitely on a date... for sure... so um, sketch anything interesting lately-
Ok, ok, so I told my bestie about Gator Boys because the audio fixation is real and it's something I keep bringing up in chat- anyway I sent it to her and she's WATCHING it and I'm really hoping she likes it- also she's a HUGE animal nerd and she asked if I think the boys can bellow like actual gators (I said yes, I think they would-)
*head currently buried in hands* I messed up the dove.
*distant scream of disappointment*
THAT "S" THOUGH. LISTEN. L I S T E N -
Also I measured its length, currently it is 2 ft 3.25 in long (~0.7 m rounding up)
Just realized I haven't shown you what the back of the thing looks like, one of these days I'll get around to showing you the chaos cuz OOH BOY-
I'm kicking myself, I got the actually decent looking wing over here that I was really proud of- and then freaking long ahh birb like what the actual frick.
ALSO THE CRAZIEST THING TO ME- I just now ran out of my second skein of yarn. Repeat. This whole thing up till now has only used up TWO SKEINS OF YARN. That is wild to me for no reason, ignore me, I'm being crazy again-
I still need to find the right buttons for the border. ALSO SPEAKING OF WHICH, if any of y'all want to help me pick a border stitch for this thing, I'd appreciate it-
I got four ideas rn-
[CHEMISTRY NERD ACTIVATED]
Ok ok ok, so there's two different colors of fire here right- we got blue-orange and sparky green... I think there might be red? But predominantly it's the sparky green and the blue-orange flames.
So green flames with the lil sparky bits in my experience is a result of copper being set on fire, so they're probably a result of the "beyblades" scraping against each other and the surface and loosening bits of copper, maybe rust too.
The blue-orange flames are probably a result of the alcohol or oil that the person put down on the surface originally.
And if there are red flames in there (on second watch I don't think so, it might just be a bunch of orange), a bunch of elements can give off red flames... the one that I'm most familiar with is strontium, but I don't think that fits in this scenario.
Turns out that when you set certain elements on fire, the heat from the flames gives the atoms some extra energy, which excites their electrons (makes them move faster), and they can jump to a higher orbital. Once the electrons calm down and go back to their normal state, they release photons (light particles). The energy that they need to release to get back to their normal orbital corresponds to specific wavelength of light, which results in the colors we see-
I think that's how the concept works, flame tests were one of my favorite experiments to do. Ah- yeah that's my nerd rant of the day-

Should I visit London? If so, please recommend some spots! Would really appreciate it🤭
It depends on what you want to see. There's a lot!
If you want museums (all free, just book a ticket of what time on their website):
The British Museum
The Natural History Museum
The National Gallery
If you want the tourist places (structures):
The London Eye (if you go online you can find tourist attraction discounts if you attend multiple places)
Big Ben
Buckingham Palace (you can get tickets to tour inside)
St Paul's Cathedral
Royal Albert Hall? (you can tour it but it's better seeing a performance there tbh)
If you want to go to markets:
Camden Market
Portobello Road Market
Borough Market
Covent Garden Market
If you want to say bye bye to your money:
Camden Town (Camden in general is amazing for punk/alternative/vintage fashion and food)
Tottenham Court Road/Oxford Street/Piccadilly Circus/Leicester Square (all walkable, tons of shops, musical stuff, M&M World, and Chinatown for great food)
Westfield? (There are two in London in the east and west. They pretty much have the same stores but they're huge malls with a cinema and food court)
There's a lot more but this is off the top of my head.
*walks into room* *sits down* *leans forward and laces fingers together-
So uh- INTERESTING UPDATE- that I did not see coming-
I forgot she was a bio major-
So on the one hand, she's comparing the boys to their real-life counterparts and trying to figure out which biological characteristics they actually have-
Then on the other hand (this is what I didn't see coming-) she's playing the part of Hunter!Listener- not Bug!Listerner.
... you get what I mean?
So on the one hand I'm reading her irl gator lore drops and watching her plot how she's gonna take them out with extreme interest-
On the other hand I fear I've created something I cannot handle- and also I'm mildly disappointed because I'm supposed to be the more evil one of the two of us-
Also bonus pic: (ok in my defense gator is delicious-)

Same case applies, madam, I will be unbearably distraught if you stop yourself in the middle of a nerdy discussion-
(Met, no, but I believe I've seen you around... I think you might be one of the next channels on my binge list.)
One thing you will never have to apologize to me for is being a nerd.
Don't you dare apologize, I will literally fight you.
*ranting about your specific fixation for 10 minutes* "Omg, I'm so sorry for talking about that so much, I'll stop-" *me who's been paying close attention the entire time and listening with interest* "NO KEEP TALKING DANG IT PLEASE-"
