Greetings community today I share the creation of amigurumis in the shape of the crew of the game Among Us that I made for my son, the reasons behind this project are very personal, because although for many in the middle of a pandemic this was game of the moment and for which many people did not feel so bored and alone in their quarantine, for me and my son it represents many things and I will tell you why, of course at the end of the post I will also say how this amigurumi is made and although I noticed that on the web there are many patterns of these figures and that even @eveyese1312 a great Hiver from our community published her own pattern a year ago, I want to share my version.
My son is 6 years old and he has never played this game. the computer and was discovering by itself children's videos, obviously I was always checking that he did not see anything inappropriate for his age, sometimes it was difficult because there are children's videos of superheroes that show quite violent scenes so I had to filter certain publications to that my son did not see them.
When he started watching videos of the game Among Us, which are mostly edits and stories made from the video game, I was a bit annoyed, because the crew members have to kill the bad guys and although it is a simple animation where they see only a movement with a knife for example, the dead if they splash blood and even when some of the crew dies only half of their body appears with a bone in the center as if it were their spine, I was alarmed because it was violent even if it was not Not at all similar to human forms, but I was allowing him to see certain things. My son also entered the growth stage where he began to further develop his language and complex processes.
One of the things that I have been clear about as a mother is that even if the violence of the media tries to keep him away, violence exists in the world and I must teach my son, among other things, to be able to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong, I realized that with this type of videos he learned that it is a "lie" that is, he knows very well how to distinguish that in reality these things do not happen, he also knows who the bad guys are and what are the reasons why the crew members they must defend themselves. On the other hand, my son in preschool adapted very well, however he was never a storyteller, that is, he was not at that stage of development yet, when looking for him at school I asked him what his classmates were called and what he had done and he did not know or rather he did not tell me things, this changed and little by little he learned to count the things he observed, that is, to translate the memories into words.
One of the joys that I have lived with my son is that he learned to tell me things, that means not only that his ability to analyze situations and memory is good, but that his language is according to his age, so when he saw a YouTube video of Among us, at night he told me what the video was about, on one of those occasions he told me "Mom, the black crew member saved the day and he exploded," I worried, I replied that poor little black man, that Why had he exploded, he told me that he had saved everyone, that he died and the black man had children, I told him that that seemed very sad to me, so he told me calm mom that the others take care of them, the next day he looked for the video and we watched it together.
In this video it is shown how the crew members are already without food or energy and are cornered by all those who have been infected by a kind of virus, something similar to Resident Evil the movie, but the black crew member manages to get on the rocket but the monster giant grabs the rocket, then they pass a scene where the black crew member had found the formula for the antidote a few hours before and had managed to do it successfully, but at that moment of the present he was against the wall, so he decides to immolate himself, that is to say That the rocket explodes and therefore the giant creature would explode with it, when it explodes the particles of the explosion fall to the ground, but these particles contain the antidote that was in the rocket, before the explosion the Black crew member sees a photo of their children.
The point is that my son was able to understand the concept of sacrifice and as if that were not enough, he understood how the Black crew member dies and that is why the others take the responsibility of caring for their children, they even make a commemorative statue in the shape of the black crew member. Since then I understood that although something may be a bit violent, it is necessary for children to understand the facts of life, death for example, sacrifice for the greater good, love for children, family and humanity, they are things profound, but incredibly a video made with characters from a game can make this understandable to a young child. Today my son was very happy, I kept my project a secret in the most ingenious ways so that he would not realize what I was knitting, so his joy was double.
