@mothyandthesquid.bsky.social

Top Nine for January this year. I thought I’d create one for each month so you could enjoy all my best work from 2025 over the next few weeks in amongst fun new stuff. January was cat month at Mothy and the Squid. Thank you for all the love! #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet #topnine

My #topnine of #2024 💖 I think it's a great reflection of the things that really meant the most to me, and got me truly excited: My #life, my #love, and my #career. I'm truly truly excited about what's to come.

@wowitsladyakumu.bsky.social

It's New Year's Eve, so here are my #TopNine IG posts this year! I'm surprised but pleased that Deborah, Clara, and Annette -- and FOUR pics of Annette at that -- made the cut!

#ClaireRedfield #HelenaHarper #DeborahHarper #AnnetteBirkin #LaraCroft #Otakon2025 #ResidentEvil #TombRaider #TopNine2025

My top nine posts on IG this year include one of Code Veronica Claire Redfield, one of Tall Oaks Helena Harper, one of Deborah Harper, four of classic Annette Birkin (two regular pics, one selfie, and one of me with a HUNK cosplayer and my friend lone_wandering_geek as Leon Kennedy at Otakon 2025), one of Parisian Ghetto Lara Croft, and one of my original mash-up character Clara Croftfield.

The Haunted David

@the-haunted-david.bsky.social

The awkward thing about my Instagram #TopNine is that it only featured two pieces that I worked on this year.
The big winner was my spin on #Dracula and Jonathan Harker with the repost causing it to show up twice (who understands that algorithm?).

The Rowan Amber Mill

@therowanambermill.bsky.social

This is our #topnine most liked posts of 2025. During 2025 we released: a new album; a newly remixed, remastered and expanded album; an e.p.; and four three track singles. But, given the top nine, they seemingly didn't resonate with Instagram. See you in 2026 for more music!
