Yeah if I’m totally honest, @fewiix.bsky.social absolutely nailed this model and @theblueflooof.bsky.social has really helped me out by printing this for me when my 3D printer exploded. Huge thanks to both of these legends! Now it’s my turn to fuck it up…

Christmas looks different for everyone. If there’s someone in your life you know is spending Christmas on their own, take a moment to wish them a happy day. In a world where we’re more connected and more isolated than ever, a small message can mean a lot. Merry Christmas Bluesky xxx

I am BLOWN AWAY by this incredibly thoughtful Christmas gift from @mikebryant.me.uk! It’s a Christmas ornament, and it has my name on the back! Thank you so much xxx Art by @keenakapu.bsky.social

After a break to deal with some IRL stuff, I’ve made progress on the feet’s!

Last night I discovered I can just about play the piano in my hand paws. That may or may not be related to the fact that I went to bed 3 hours later than intended.

My new favourite unhinged sorting algorithm: NomSort() Simply eat all items in the list to be sorted, and the result will be the empty list, which is sorted by definition ✅ (Credit: @kadei.net) Can confirm it worked, my fridge is now sorted. Slight downside, I am now too spherical to move. Help.

Like paws? Now’s your chance to grab a free pair of Furrjoi silicone paws! We’re giving away 2 pairs — one here, one on X. Winners can pick their favorite color, black or colored silicone. Raffle ends December 1st.

Happy Halloween Bluesky! Ah shit it’s after midnight. Ah well, I guess that just makes this a really cool fursuit pic then.

Here I am struggling to cut and sew fabric, and @kadei.net just smashes out this Halloween birthday cake topper in an afternoon. The cake was incredible too; triple tier red velvet with buttercream from scratch. I am the luckiest derg ^_^

Ok, so I KNOW that it looks like I took a picture of the left one and just flipped it, but I SWEAR I’ve actually finished the right one, it’s just really hard to take a picture of both at once!

“I saw your kitchen sponge was shit, so I bought you a new one. Happy Birthday.” - @kadei.net ಠ_ಠ

Hey Bluesky! It’s my birthday! And the only thing I would like for my birthday is for everyone to have a wonderful day, so: If there is some bit of self-care you can do, or some lovely thing you can do for someone else, today’s as good a day as any to do it! Today is the day to be Rextra ^_^ xxx

Ngl, this feels good on SO many levels!

All the dergs from @wildnorth.bsky.social! I didn’t get everyone’s name, so if you know who they are, please let me know! Also I have no idea who took these pictures, so I hope someone can help me credit them!

So making my own fursuit has been a HEARTBREAKING process, especially when I blew up my own 3D printer. @theblueflooof.bsky.social very kindly stepped in and offered to print my custom head (designed by @fewiix.bsky.social) for mates rates. Here's the timelapse! IT'S ALL HAPPENING!

MINE.

Rumours from distant Wild Northern lands of a questing rodent carrying a Godforged sword...

What an incredible weekend! Had my first public con @wildnorth.bsky.social and I’ll never forget it. Thank you to all the organisers for being so awesome, and thank you to everyone for helping this lil Derg feel included ^_^ 📸 @jeddycat.bsky.social

Literally everything about fursuit making takes about 10 times as long as you think. Consequently, I will be making the feet stripes symmetrical. Send help.

I went to bed really early and slept a really long time, so I decided to take my frustration out with a knife on some foam pads. Coincidentally, I’ve hacked them into the correct shape for feet bases. Huh, neat.

Hand paw progress! Just need some claws and I can sew these halves together! Can’t believe this is actually happening!!!

The hand paws are progressing! I’m pleased with how clean the lines are coming out, but TERRIFIED at how many times I’ve messed up already. Also, anyone know how to get the kinks out of Japanese stretch fur where it’s been folded in transit?

I finally got over my fear and started on the fabric. No one prepares you for the amount of hoovering. NO ONE.

Everybody loves some good ramen 💕🍜🐉💕

I had the privilege of having had @fewiix.bsky.social model my fursuit head and he only went and ABSOLUTELY crushed it!

Ok. That’s it. I’m tired or this fursuit not happening. It’s happening now.

Me: I’m suffering paralysis with the fur arrival; it’s so nice I don’t wanna make a mistake. @joeywolfuk.bsky.social: I have the same problem with the chinchilla in my freezer. Me: …wut.

The internet: your fur is not arriving and we have no idea where it is The fur: surprise mfer 😳

Me (voice note): hey, I miss the sound of your voice, hope you’re ok while I’m away and I love you xxx Boyfriend (voice note): aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaloveyou

The good news: the fur has finally been dispatched! The bad news: it’s not arriving til after Wild North Ordered: mid July Expected arrival: October If a company ever decides to produce Japanese stretch fur here in the UK, they’re gonna make a looooot of money…

Derg Balls

Hello am Derg. Today I horde balls. Have you any balls for this Derg? No? Sad. I need more balls. Please come back when you have balls to offer me. (Yes, I’m aware I have peak NPC energy right now.)

Have you seen this rat? He’s not missing or anything, I just wanted everyone to see this adorable bean ^_^

Worst. KadCon. EVER. Also best KadCon ever. Because there has only been one. You never forget your first!

KadCon is wild. Prepping for the fursuit photo wearing a cardboard partial, draped in a dragon cloak I made, cradling a plush D20 I was gifted in exchange for taxi service. I’m so happy right now ^_^

Both hands done! Gotta do the teeth decoration and start the wings now. It’s a genuinely incredible feeling to wear your first partial, especially when you’ve made it yourself, even if it is just paper!

I genuinely cannot how good it feels to have completed this head. One more hand to go and then I can start on the wings. AM DERG.

So the fursuit isn’t going well, the company hasn’t even dispatched the fur I ordered weeks ago, so I’m filling the gap with a paper suit! First time trying something like this, and I love how it’s turned out already. Worth saying; the guide said 3-4 hours, this took me a full day. For one hand.

The latest in things I have said unironically in my line of work: Can’t believe I got interrupted 16 pages into Rhapsody in Blue for wedding speeches. Philistines.

So that cheese wedge was actually hiding this birthday present! It’s a holder for your glasses shaped like a rat, and because I printed a few, I HAD to recreate the yearning meme 🐀 🐀 🐀 Credit to AtomsLab on Printables for the STL and mandyseley on Tumblr for the meme art! YEARNING

I’m in love with a ratboy on the internet; sounds weird but it’s true. And it’s his birthday soon ^_^ 🧀

Hey, the internet likes feet pics, right?

It’s been a STEEP learning curve, and some heartbreaking failures, but with this piece, I finally have a foot shell!

I keep getting told off for not using Bluesky. So here I am. Are you happy now? You know who you are.
