I had a VISION for the day 14 prompt of #Dresstober. I spent SO MANY HOURS on this scarecrow inspired design. My hands and brain hurt from having to work with all the tassels in close proximity- it was chaos! I like to believe it all paid off though. #Dressmaker

#Dresstober day 13 - Angel. I couldn’t resist doing the back the way I did, because why would I do anything different? 😜🤣 #Dressmaker

A SUPER LATE day 12 #Dresstober post. The theme - Demon. I had a grand time with this one, and I thinks it’s one of my favorites from the list so far! #Dressmaker

Day 11 of #Dresstober - All Scrap Fabric. I am in LOVE with these color shifting silks, and I was determined to use as many as I already had in one dress! I think it looks really great, and I’m obsessed with the shine! #Dressmaker

Day 10 of #Dresstober - Ghost. I really wanted to go with a tragic feel to this, so while it could read as wedding I was picturing more Haunted Mansion / ghost from the Anastasia ballroom scene. (Two lighting modes to give the ghostly vibe while also showing the details!) #Dressmaker

#Dresstober day 9 - All Pink (for breast cancer awareness). I decided to use whatever pinks I had on hand for this one, and I honestly think it came together really well! @cozylivesgames.bsky.social #Dressmaker

Day 8 of #Dresstober - Witch! I wanted to move away from the stereotypical black fabrics for my design, instead taking inspiration from my daughter’s 2022 Halloween costume when she was a Cosmic Witch. I think it came together well!! @cozylivesgames.bsky.social #Dressmaker

Cryptid 🔞 (he/they) @harlecryptid.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I’m not gonna lie, #Dresstober day 7 (Phoenix) took me 2 days to make, because I struggled so hard with design and fabric choices. Once that all came together though, the rest fell into place! #Dressmaker @cozylivesgames.bsky.social

This dress for day 6 of #Dresstober was close to the death of me, but I committed to my idea- cheerleader who is also a werewolf. I used SO MUCH brown tassel trim to make it look like the top was fur, and my hands hated me for it. BUT! I think it worked out. @cozylivesgames.bsky.social #Dressmaker

Didn’t have “internal waste evacuation by candlelight” on my to-do list for the day, but apparently the universe decided the bathroom was the perfect place to watch the TV glow. 🫠😅🥲

A picture of a glowing candle holder in a dark bathroom. The glass of the candle holder is iridescent and looks both pink and green. The label of the candle is “The Pink Opaque”, a reference to the movie I Saw The TV Glow. The label lists the smell as “hot plastic, sweet vinyl, a clean flannel”, and “smells like a warm vhs tape”.

Late to posting, but here's my day 5 dress for #Dresstober - Autumn! I tried to be a little more subtle with the accessories on this one, and I'm very pleased how it turned out! @cozylivesgames.bsky.social #Dressmaker

Now that I’m caught up, today is day 4 - Vampire! I tried to make this design different than anything I’ve made in the game (if you know you know), but some pieces are just too good to not use again!

Cryptid 🔞 (he/they) @harlecryptid.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Day 3 was Floral! My idea for this one was to create a dress that felt like an upside down flower in bloom. I like to think I got the idea across!

Cryptid 🔞 (he/they) @harlecryptid.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Day 2 was Pumpkin! I had a TON of fun playing around with the details on this one, especially with the back of the skirt!

Here's what I got! (Did it on PC so the screenshots are a bit wonky lol)

A screenshot of results from the undertale quiz- Justice Yellow Soul #FFFF00. Despite the cruelty I endured, I never let myself be corrupted. A clear result, but not a lopsided one: integrity is right behind it by 6.2 points. Your full spread: Justice 64%. Integrity 58%. Kindness 55%. Determination 41%. Bravery 40%. Patience 33%. Perseverance 38%.

What is Justice? Justice is the ideal that fairness should come first: All animals are equal, none are more equal than others. Slights against yourself can sometimes be let go of; slights against someone who couldn't stop them, almost never. It makes you the kind of person who will bring a wrongdoing to light no matter what, often at your own expense. Even in the face of consequences, though, it's uncommon for the Just to regret having done the right thing.
The Shadow of One's Soul. Justice is blind, and its guns easy to aim wrong. An unhealthy Justice may end up needing to be in the right no matter what, and find it difficult to tell fairness from vengeance. Due to their inability to trust anyone's judgment over their own, they can end up becoming too stuck in their ways, or even vindictive. A great deal of pain has been inflicted by people who would have sooner died than admit themselves wrong.
Often Confused with Integrity. Integrity and Justice have many things in common: both have a strong moral compass, both are hard to sway, and both concern themselves with building a framework of rules. The main difference is who these rules are pointed at: Integrity will use them for itself with little concern for others, while Justice holds everyone to those same standards.

You Secondary Virtue. Your second-strongest virtue is Integrity, at 58%. The golden pair: Integrity and Justice. The first, frameworks and rules built inward, the second, frameworks and rules built outward. The integrous Just has a strong moral code and a strong drive to make sure that code is respected by themselves and by others, no matter what the situation. These people are honest,direct, and ready to do the right thing. Sadly, nothing comes without a price: both virtues are so strong-willed that they can become too stuck in their ways, and that might even end up with an inability to admit being wrong. Your lowest virtue is perseverance (28%). Of course, no one can be perfect at everything.

I didn’t see most Tim Curry live action as a kid (Annie and Muppet Treasure Island were the only two pre-teens). For me, he was Hexxus in FernGully. He was Ben Ravencroft in Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. He was Nigel Thornberry in The Wild Thornberrys. This man was my childhood and then some.😭

Update on this- I was able to add "TransRights" back as a tag for my stream. Not sure when they changed it back, but hopefully it STAYS this way.

Another Cryptid stream, so soon? More likely than you’d think! I’ll be live tomorrow with another PR stream- this time coworking while exploring a magical library and all the spirits it has to offer, thanks to the devs from @spiritcitylofi.bsky.social! Hope to see y’all there. 💙

Text reads “harlecryptid. August 24th - 6pmPT. PR Stream. Mooncube Games gave me access to the new Magical Livrary DLC for Spirit City: Lofi Sessions, so we’re gonna have a coworking stream while I check it out! twitch.tv/harlecryptid”. The background is a wall of various browns with rafters near the top. A character with a moon phase head wearing a small top hat and a blue shirt with small crescent moons and a circus type collar sits in a swirly light blue cloud behind a desk. The desk is covered in tomes and strewn papers with sigils on them. Crystals and potion bottles float around the text box on the left.

Here are other images of tags they suddenly won't allow. (If you remove the "a" from "trans" then it will go through.) BUT I was able to tag "TransRightsAndIHateTwitch" so you know... it's better than nothing. (Seriously though Twitch, this is absolute bullshit and you know it.)

An error message in red under all the approved tags reads "This tag my conflict with Twitch's moderation policy."

Uh #Twitch... WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT?! I've had this tag for well over a year, and now that I want to edit my tags in OBS, you're going to tell me I can't have this tag?! Absolutely ridiculous. The shit cherry on top of today's implementation of auto opt-in of gen ai bullshit.

I know it has been *A WHILE* but I’ll finally be live again! This upcoming Thursday marks one year of Gemporium, and @mergeconflictstudio.com gave me a code for the DLC! Let’s check it out together, shall we? I’ll be going live at 8pmPT. Hope to see you then!
