#zerako

Bonehill is the edgy one and Zerako is the red one. If you like the intellectual x himbo, emo x sunshine, ice x fire, chaos x chaos ships but with a queerplatonic aroace twist. boy howdy youll love these motherfuckers. theyre from my webcomic Skull & Pyro which you can read here on tapas or webtoon. Its a silly good time

I only draw cozy sweet shit, funny shit, and action shit so if your soul is weary from IRL angst, this is the place for you bc if my boys cry I cry harder. For my romance repulsed friends I only draw smooches on da head and cheek, these two dont mouth kiss much (they do once in the comic in ep 12 and i dont plan on it again tbh). they much prefer to headbonk each other like a bonded pair of cats. otherwise you wont find anything mature content here other than cussing to offend god BDKFJDKDKKDD

but did you think i only draw them? absolutely not I want these fuckers to transcend my brain in every medium so you will see their crochet forms in the various genres of cheesy couple photos

I love making them miniature shit and since Im a Christmas starts in October person, run now bc its only going to get worse

Unlike drawing, I do crochet more things than just my OCs, but not by much. I just make whatever my brain grabs onto like a feral moray eel

like rn the brain eel likes elemental mushroom gnomes so Im making those

Otherwise I reblog aroace posts, memes, sloths, and other ppl's art but I want to limit how much I consume this app so it doesnt become Twitter 2.0 for me so hopefully I wont do that Too much.

Click/tap on these hashtags on this post to find the specific things I post:

#oc art - Basically all art of mine LMAO

#crochet - Any crochet works I do

#lifes shit come make something with me - Series in which I do comedic retellings of crafts I make to make my mental health more bearable

#skull & pyro - my "official" tag for anything relating to my webcomic, including memes I reblog that remind me of the boys

Ooh, that one I remember!! It was based on a Skull & Pyro drawing by @authorofdragons, featuring Bonehill and Zerako at the beach in a boat/car conglomeration vehicle, trying to outrun a big ol' cloud rolling in behind them.

...Though I think I may recall the drawing more clearly than the details of what I actually wrote in the fic, come to think of it. 😂

Winter may be Bonehill's season but by golly is he gonna make sure it doesn't make Zerako too sad!! gonna tuck him in like a hot pocket !!

so this is now a series in which i make cute random shit to make my arguably shitty life a little more bearable, and hopefully yours too. last time we made a mini crochet christmas tree here for my comfort dolls, The Boys. today we're adding to that with some cozy blanket and rugs

first lets start with the rug which wasnt even meant to be a rug but the color changes made it so stiff it wasnt ideal blanket material so let's pretend i was intentionally making a rug this whole time

usually the side of your work that shows the colors of yarn swapping isn't what you want to show to the world but it actually made an eeriely similar design to the blanket I always draw the boys with so fuck yea lets go for it

i drew this in 2020 and i did too good of a job i havent been able to replicate it since.

cool time to tie strings around it to make the loose ends Also look intentional because I hate loose ends with every fiber (hoho) of my being

i forgot what i was doing for 30 minutes and now the gnome is judging me

pretty and fun!! pretend that the brown strings belong bc i am not sewing those fuckers back in!!

now for blankie im running out of dark brown yarn so im alternating with medium brown and it actually works really well nice

idk what to do with the loose ends in this case bc im too tired to tie a bunch of yarn on the end like I did the rug so idk im just twisting the yarn apart into its individual strands

oh fuck what if i braid them

hell yeah motherfuckers lets braid them

hell yeaaaaaaaaaaa

comfort at its finest. cozy instagram influencers could never

stay tuned bc im next gonna make them teenie presents and maybe more to really put this scene together. maybe theyll have mini foods.

So for context, these are my comfort dolls I crocheted over a year ago: Bonehill and Zerako.

theyre also the main characters of my webcomic Skull & Pyro but you dont gotta worry about that rn all you gotta know is that theyre husbands. (if you wanna worry about it its ok go check out my pinned post)

So I love making them minature things and I'm a horrible little christmas goblin so I wanna make them a mini christmas tree (and a whole scene to boot but lets start with a tree).

Here you can see the leaves fighting against their creator as I bring them into this wretched world (aka my loops kept falling off my hook). I went off of The Lazy Hobbyhopper's pattern here. Base of the tree is made with bulky green yarn I found in a bin and then worsted weight white yarn to make the leaves look smaller to make sure the green would be seen underneath. I Also skipped every other row when making the leaves to further achieve this.

Next I need a sturdy interior so the tree is firm for decorating. There could be better materials for this but my brain will use any and everything I have on hand before it'll buy new materials so my grubby lil hands grabbed some cardstock and made it a cone

Next for the trunk I used the left over cardstock to make a tube and then grabbed a old CVS paper bag to give it trunk texture and color. The final touches are with crayola marker because thats just the crisis situation we're dealing with here.

Now the base of the tree is made, rad, cool, looks neat.

Ignore the fact that my camera decided my walker is the star of the photo this is what happens when I screenshot my videos.

We need a topper and I refuse to make a normal star bc my boys are agents of chaos so I asked my mom what it should be and she suggested a mushroom gnome. She knows me well.

I make a lot of these little guys purely bc my brain eel has decided they are The Shit right now. This is my own pattern that is minimal sewing because I Hate Sewing Extra Shit it just makes more steps in my mind which makes the brain eel angery. So I bullshit stitches and run with it. If I can learn to translate the horrors that are my patterns into words, maybe one day Ill share it. Unfortunately the horrors are winning

Now for ornaments and lights. I could crochet those but brain eel doesn't want to so Target it is.

Now on with the lights, these fairy lights were bright as fuck and with the white leaves I felt assaulted with color ASDFJFLGK like listen I love color but Im used to green trees and didn't realize the frosted leaves would just Become The Entire Light Spectrum

they are entranced.

So I just swapped the fairy lights with my taco lights that were on my own mini tree and honestly, that fits better in every way given Zerako notoriously loves tacos and its much less stimulating. And the fairy lights look great on my tree.

Of course I need cheesy couples photos of them putting the tree up because it Is their tree, they deserve this moment.

you're doing great boys (they are not doing anything)

NOW for ordaments. Percieve them putting on the ordaments.

Now pretend you never perceived them (for I am doing the rest).

All together it looks great!! The colorful ordaments really help balance the plain yellow/white lights.

I adore how this turned out. Life is still shit but my boys have their own tree so I'll live with it 💚 I got more christmas crafts planned for these two so follow me for more mild serotnin inducers.
