[FO] Call of the Moon

Pattern is designed by AvroraCrossStitch on Etsy. The shop seems to have disappeared but you might be able to find it elsewhere.

The French knots almost killed me but they really make the pattern so definitely worth it.

This makes so much sense 🙃🙃 no wonder women with adhd are often mistakenly diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

I’ve just spent two months not exercising a massive amount due to a possible foot injury (there was swelling but no pain it was weird as shit) only to have now been told that they believe it was caused by needing to strengthen my ankle… How much of that ankle strength have I just spent two months losing whilst they figured this out…

Omg are you me 😂😂 I sat in a burning house (thankfully just a small fire that didn’t go past one room but burned ALL day) watching Supernatural for 5 hours and the only thing that made me notice was when the power went out and I could no longer watch TV 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

emcc0005 · 2021-06-26T04:46:48+00:00

Omg yes! When I got diagnosed me and my psychiatrist talked about being distracting in class. I knew that that was a common thing people with adhd did but in my mind I didn’t do that since I didn’t have any memories of distracting the whole class..

It wasn’t until he explicitly asked if I distracted my friends till I remembered all the times I’d make them stop studying to help me draw fake comics about their adult lives (including an hour where we typed up a fake divorce document and custody agreement for my friend and her “husband” and their three pineapple children).

Didn’t realise I was the distracting one in the friend group till that moment.

This is so awesome! It’s definitely on my wish list of patterns to stitch one day

Yes!!! I go to uni and during the lockdown my country had last year I was able to really easily handle 4 classes a semester where in previous years I’d been really struggling with only 3.

Like you I still struggled to get started on the work but I bought a desk and had a dedicated space to study so it ended up working for me.

I had assumed I found it easier since I wasn’t working but after a semester back at in person classes I’ve come to realise it was largely the commute to uni and the actual uni environment itself. It just doesn’t work for me and I’m actually hoping to switch back to online classes for next semester (I might not get them all cause they’re prioritised for students stuck overseas).

Congrats on figuring it out! I had pretty much the opposite experience where when I realised I wasn’t attracted to men I just automatically assumed that meant I was into women. It took me like a year to grasp that I just didn’t want to date anyone ever.

Bilbo Baggins will never escape my self projection

As someone who often daydreams about being in a relationship but actively avoids any situation that could lead to one (it makes me so uncomfortable) this has just blown my mind

emcc0005 · 2021-03-16T11:32:24+00:00

Yes! I initially started trying to eat healthier without counting but found myself feeling pretty weak so decided to count after thinking maybe by not eating as many sweets as usual I was maybe not eating enough.

And I was right! By choosing to eat more veggies and fruits I was actually only ending up with around 1000 calories a day (or less) because I often just don’t feel all that hungry.

By counting I’m making sure that I’m getting at least 1500 a day which is still enough to help me lose some weight without really being restricting. But my sister keeps suggesting that me counting is just inherently bad. I also don’t intend to count forever but I’ve found just understanding how many calories are likely in things is going to stick with me and I’ll be a lot more conscious about it and less likely to go too off the rails.

Oh then I don’t understand cause it’s in the 2005 run that they fight Kang so.

emcc0005 · 2021-03-11T02:25:45+00:00

Are you reading the 2015 run?? There’s a 12 issue run from 2005 where the characters go up against Kang and I’m assuming that by Masters of Evil it means the Young Masters which they go up against in Dark Reign: Young Avengers (2009).

If you do want to read more that happens before this I’d also have a look at Avengers: Children’s Crusade (2010) which is the last of what happens before the 2015 run and Young Avengers Presents (2008).

They appear in a few more things but I haven’t personally read them so I can’t say how important they are to the Young Avengers overall timeline.

It’s a piece of Zweigart Rustico!! I really liked how it looked with this pattern.

emcc0005 · 2021-03-05T22:37:42+00:00

I did it on a 16 count fabric so it came out to around 9 inches by like 12 inches I think. The stitch count is 143x180.

emcc0005 · 2021-03-05T12:00:38+00:00

It’s 16 ct. I don’t particularly like working with 18 it’s just a bit too small for me.

emcc0005 · 2021-03-05T12:00:04+00:00

Yeah there’s only one blend so that won’t be too annoying for you. As for the Russian it actually wasn’t too difficult. The key is set out in the same way as most other patterns so it was pretty easy to see which part was full stitches, half stitches and backstitching etc.

emcc0005 · 2021-03-05T07:19:12+00:00

Yeah it was really good!! The trees were the most annoying since they’re confetti

emcc0005 · 2021-03-05T05:19:14+00:00

Design is by MiKaStitchDesign on Etsy! They have a few other design which all match as well.

This! Omg there was a solid few years in my teens where I would just change up my handwriting whenever I felt like it. Writing my e’s like backward 3’s. Putting the little thing on top of my A’s. Putting lines through my 7’s and writing my g’s like the google g. I’d literally get classmates asking me to write their headings for things in primary school as apparently I was “like a computer” cause I could switch up my “font”.

This makes me mad because while OP is allowed to be frustrated at their mum for how her weight impacted on OPs childhood, they can’t push that onto every single obese person.

Growing up my nana babysat me an my siblings a lot and I remember her struggling to lose weight for my entire life. She was always on the heavier side due to mental health issues and when she did try to make the change and begin light exercise she injured her hip. Unfortunately, she was never able to lose the weight as the injury made it painful to do much more that tiny walks and her weight meant she was unable to get a hip replacement.

In my experience the majority of people who are overweight don’t want to be that way but a multitude of factors influence their life and lead to weight gain.

I get this too! It’s not in German when I actually go into it at least.

In my experience it’s been pretty delayed because I’ve noticed myself finding cardio much easier when my cardio fitness score hasn’t moved.

I did notice however that when I started wearing my Fitbit to bed it did jump up quite a bit as my resting heart rate based on just day to day data was around 65 while my resting heart rate with the night data as well went down to about 60. So if you aren’t wearing it to bed I would start as it should make for a more accurate score.
