Okay just for ✨the holidays✨ I tossed up an old modern au fic I wrote a few years ago on ao3. It’s a band au/holiday fic and it’s like 14k because we all know I have no chill when it comes to word count 🫶🏻

It’s cheesy, fluffy, with a dose of angst & a playlist—

Another candleholder design (I need a lot of these in my home🕯️) This one was rather quickly made using a head sculpt I made a while ago, but never quite knew what to do with it, so I'm glad it now found good use.
Already made a test print and it perfectly fits a tea candle now it's copper time!

Had an elderly woman ask me what my "look" was called (short pink hair, Library of Alexandria tshirt, black jeans tucked into combat boots) and instead of saying "tired butch" I said "this is just me living my best life." She told me "it's cute, it's working" 😂
