Nerdvana Crafts

Hello and welcome to Nerdvana Crafts! Where you can find handmade gifts for the nerds in your life! My name is Sly and I am a neurodivergent fiber artist who crochets amigurumi from a variety of fandoms. Each item is made to order, and may take 2-4 weeks to make and ship. Each item is also made in the presence of a cat so if you have allergies, please message me and I will do everything in my power to prevent kitty contamination. All of my creations are intended as fan art, and because I use a variety of patterns, their sizes will vary as well!

EVERYONE(!) I’m blazing this post because at this pace we might barely hit 1,000,000 signatures—or just fall short. PLEASE reblog this post, no matter where you are from, so we can reach as many EU citizens as possible and end this horrible practice!

Honestly being overworked makes people unobservant and passive and it literally kills people every day. People don’t seem to realize that an overworked nurse might not notice your sepsis symptoms and a tired truck driver might not notice your car when he’s merging into the lane. Failing to protect worker’s rights impacts nearly everyone

Hello friends! Sorry for the lack of posts lately. If you've been following me for a while now, you'll know I'm notoriously bad at social media. So bad in fact, that I have an alarm set up for it on Sundays, and I've been so overwhelmed and busy that I've been ignoring it the past few weeks. For that, I'm sorry, and I'll try to be better, but it's hard out here. Being an independent artist, really, being anyone who's not a rich white dude...it's hard to just exist, let alone thrive. Hopefully you'll stick around just a little while longer, because I still have some super cute amis to show off when I have the energy to make them. Until then, remember to hydrate, take your meds, and take care of yourselves and each other. We're all in this together, for better or worse, and we're stronger as a community.

For DM Aabria Iyengar, after she mentioned off handedly that she wants a fanart piece of this event. One of my longest gags, I must be honest. I hope you enjoy the meme-y fanart ;)

based off the pose Neil Newborn pulled in response, and his in-game dialogue, so thank you, Neil

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

"your love is like loneliness - angsty dialogue for a dying couple

a prompt list by @novelbear

"there's someone else, isn't there?"

"so what, that's it? you're just going to walk away?"

"whatever, do what you want."

"i can't believe i wasted five years of my life on you. on this."

"i don't need this."

"when was the last time we had a proper conversation?"

"everyone is noticing..."

"you always have something to say, don't you?"

"go! see if i care!"

"aren't you tired of fighting?"

"there's no helping this."

"don't you walk away from me!"

"you hang up and it's over."

"enough with the empty threats. you're bluffing."

"i hate the person you're turning me into."

"i never have these problems with anyone else." "then go talk to everyone else! why are you still here?"

"we're not happy. look at us."

"has it ever occurred to you that maybe we're just not meant for each other?"

"you wouldn't fight for us?" "what is there to fight for?"

"i don't understand why you always have a problem with me."

"oh go to hell."

"now you care?"

"no. i got it. i'll do it myself."

a digital drawing of Bren, an alternative universe design of Caleb Widogast from Critical Role. he is a human in his thirties, of an average build; he has a freckled face, short messy hair and a beard. he is dressed in a cloak, which is whipping with the wind behind him, and a shirt with rolled up sleeves, exposing the maze-like glyph chant tattoos and scars on his forearm. he also has leather gloves on, which cover only the first three fingers of each hand. he is extending his right arm forward, casting a fire spell, the flame curling around him in an arc. heavy rain is falling around him, and he is looking up at the camera with an intense expression.

i've missed drawing scourger!Bren. this sketch was sponsored by the gloves young Bren is wearing on the cover of the Caleb origins comic, by the way

somewhat unrelated, but as i was working on the above drawing i thought hmm, my scourger!Bren design has short hair, what if i give that AU's Essek shorter hair too? so i did, and i love it a lot not gonna lie

a headshot sketch of Essek, who is a dark elf with chiseled features, small pointed ears, and a very short hairstyle, cropped closely to his head. he has a severe, cold expression on his face. there are large crescent-shaped metal ear cuffs hooked around his ears, and some of his organic armor-like mantle is visible on his shoulders.

tip jar!

Wow, Do You Ever Go Onto Tumblr Every Day But Completely Forget To Post About The New Things You're Crocheting
Wow, Do You Ever Go Onto Tumblr Every Day But Completely Forget To Post About The New Things You're Crocheting

Wow, do you ever go onto tumblr every day but completely forget to post about the new things you're crocheting at any point? Because I do. I've been working on a bunch of stuff since the last time I was active on this tumblr! Sometimes I remember to post about it on Instagram and sometimes I don't, but tumblr is way cooler than Instagram anyway - so I'm going to try to remember to post here as well!

This is a cute lil chicken pattern that's available free over at 53stitches.com! I signed up for a lot of conventions this year, the next one is Gold Coast Supanova on April 12th & 13th - these little birbs have been so popular, and I'm glad because they are heckin' fun to make.

I made 12 designs in all (+ an extra highly requested Cockatiel I still need to write up) and I'm trying to add all of my old patterns to the website for free over the next few months, so keep an eye out! Plus making youtube content! So much going on, and yet I don't want to blab about it on social media as per usual 😂

You've Been Dead. Interesting. Yet It Seems Your Programming Has Held Up.

You've been dead. Interesting. Yet it seems your programming has held up.

Finally finished this drawing of a scene from our D&D game in which the terrifying archfey that half the party is secretly (even from themselves) in service to shows up. Pictured here: Grandmother (aforementioned archfey) and Dagger (my character, undead sorcerer).

Today was sewing day and while there were some hiccups, I did get the body of the armbands sewn. Mom did the top stitching since she's more skilled than I.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

A colour wheel divided into sections with dialogue tags fitting the categories 'complains', 'agrees', 'cries', 'whines', 'shouts', and 'cheers'

I have just now learned how to alt text. I will do my best when I can.

The image is digital art made up to look like a two color linocut print. It features a geometric twisting snarling tiger. It's flanked by the text "Stay Angry" and "Bite Back" that follows the contours of the tiger.

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back. Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands.

It's A Really Scary And Sad Time In The US Right Now. But You Guys Have Absolutely Blown Me Away With
It's A Really Scary And Sad Time In The US Right Now. But You Guys Have Absolutely Blown Me Away With

it's a really scary and sad time in the US right now. but you guys have absolutely blown me away with your generosity - we SOLD OUT of protect trans kids stickers. that's almost $3,000 raised for transcontinental pipeline to help relocate folks from unsafe states to CO ;_;

and, since it looks like we're in it for the long fight, i ordered more stickers. if you want to make a donation and pick up a sticker at the same time 100% of proceeds go to TCP

thank you all for making this fundraiser happen, i am blown away. it's felt good to help, and not just be a bystander in all of this. it's scary and sad and i'm afraid for the future, but i also know we're in this together and it turns out we can do pretty great stuff together. stay safe, love you all 💙🤍💖
