I'm a cook and I crochet things || You can also find me on DeviantArt at https://www.deviantart.com/milayou || Dragon Quest, Mana Series, Pokemon fan || Amateur hobbyist shamisen player
I find this a little hard to believe, but I seem to be the only person in the world (or at least the Internet) who has ever crocheted Rainbow Kuriboh. Surely Zexal wasn't *that* unpopular? I think Yu-Gi-Oh just isn't very common among crocheters, which is a shame.

I watched #yugioh Arc-V recently and decided I must have Performapal Radish Horse. So I spent the last 5 days working on this and once again surpassing my expectations of myself. I don't consider myself great at making leaves, but I guess I've really gotta stop doubting myself 😅

When Stardust Dragon faces a problem he can't overcome with strength alone, he removes himself to get a better look at the situation, allowing him to negate the problem and get rid of it. Then he can come back feeling refreshed next turn.

In your difficult times, be like Stardust Dragon 💪🐲✨

My puzzle game fixation led me back to Lolo 2, a game I've had since I was 5 and never beat. I recently played it again and finally beat it, and now I feel smart. It's surprisingly fun for how difficult it is.

I decided he was very craftable, and I love how the tail came out!

I've been having car trouble this week and getting rides to work, but my coworker declined my offer for gas money. But since I felt bad about troubling him, I made a Wooper as thanks.

I've been in a Bubble Bobble mood and also needed a new bag, and realized I haven't cross-stitched in a while, so I made this over the past 4 days. I scrapped some work pants for the lining, and made the candy button from clay and painted it. I really love how it turned out!

I had a random mood to play Puzzle Bobble this week, I used to play 4 on GBC a lot when I was 10 or so. But Bob was always my favorite when me and my brother used to play Bubble Bobble as kids, and I can't usually play him unless there's two of us.

So I made a lil plushie about it 💙🐲

I was almost too late to post this for #trialsofmana_30th_anniversary ! I was never very good at the game when I played "Secret of Mana 2" as a kid (I was 7), but this track [Little Sweet Cafe] stuck with me for years until I played the remake and gave me so much nostalgia!

I realized I haven't been on here in like a month. I've still been lurking and enjoying people's art, but I haven't felt super motivated to create anything myself lately. Just been practicing music here and there and playing a lot of Pokemon Pearl remake. I would like to crochet more soon though.

I played Pokemon Sword for 5 minutes today because I needed to catch Passimian for my Scarlet Pokedex, and literally the first one I found was shiny 🤣

I was gonna have my lv100 guy use False Swipe to lower it to 1 HP, but I decided to hold off. So glad I did because it immediately used Take Down 😅

I hit a 1500 day streak on Amaru yesterday, the self care app I've been using by @fogofmaya.bsky.social

I once hit a consecutive 64-note run on the memory bell game, and while I can't break my record, I've been easily doing 25-30 in a row this week. It's a fun way to stretch my short-term memory.

Happy 34th Anniversary #seikendensetsu #manaseries! I haven't made anything new recently, but here's some of my creatures of Mana. Flammie was made 7 years ago this week, so happy birthday to Flammie too! (He has been well loved since then)

The Salamando and Rabite are hair clips I made for fun.

I made this for a friend whose name means "snail" in another language. When I looked for inspiration, I was disappointed to see just how many ai-generated "crochet" (it can't be actually done) snail images there were, so I decided to use a real snail for reference. I rather like the result!

Today is my brother's birthday! While I wasn't able to do anything new this year, here's a Booskaboo (Vuscav) plushie I made him a couple years back. I think he's still one of my best creations!

I would like to help send him on a journey through bluesky! Be free little one! 🧙‍♂️🪄🏳️‍🌈 Share your colors with the world!

As someone who enjoyed and dearly misses #echoesofmana, I was really happy to hear this song again in #visionsofmana

Julei ended up being my favorite character, he's got so many great hats 🌱🎩

(I did the harmony on shamisen and then played clarinet over it)

"What's a Rabite doing in a place like this?!"

I made this a little while back, when I made the button for Knitwit, and finally remember to paint it last night. (Randi is real, he's from the SoM Collector's Edition)

One year ago today, I bought my mini shamisen. I've been practicing it almost daily since then, and while I am by no means a prodigy, I think I've done pretty well considering there are very limited learning resources over here.

This song is from the GBC #hamtaro game and I tabbed it out myself.

Okay how does Yuma getting the Chaos Emeralds help him play card games better 🤣 that's silly

Now anyway let me tell you about how awesome it was when Yusei flew into space on his motorcycle and turned solid gold in order to summon a dragon he just made up, that was peak writing 💯

Okay since @feetstroganoff.bsky.social allowed it, here's Piss Crow! I told them about the time I had to say "Go-P" was the word for "friend" as a kid. I imagined him as this handsome crow that assists Hamtaro when you "Go-P" and I sent the chicken pic as a reference. "Piss Crow" just kind of stuck.

Today is apparently also Crow and Raven Appreciation Day?? I appreciate Crow from 5D's, I think he's a really wholesome bro. I found some Blackwings at a card shop once, not even knowing it was from the show, I just like crows. So we're also deck buddies lol.

Also actual crows are Cool and Good lol

I've updated my bio to include my DeviantArt link. I think someone found both pages and thought this one was stealing, but I am in fact the same person 😅 I've just been on there way longer. I decided to go with a different name on here since I didn't want to just be a direct mirror of the same page

Here's my King Knitwit with his "sword" (I didn't make it yet so he fights with a crochet hook, but it's fitting for him)

#echoesofmana had some amazing character designs that I'd love to see again someday, but I'm glad the fans can keep it alive through art

Today is #echoesofmana 3rd anniversary! I miss this game so much 😭

Here are some critters I've made to carry on its memory: King Knitwit, Ramy, and Baashear! 🐏 Ramy's design was too good to go to waste, so I had to give her 3-dimensional form, although everyone deserved it
