The Loyal Pin does all the Thai GL tropes. They hit the trifecta:

The messy eating

The bathtub scene

THE GODAMNED CAR ACCIDENT

What's up with academic books where the introduction is practically in baby language and then by Chapter 1 I have to reread a passage three times?

Introduction: As we all know very well, people act badly.

Chapter 1: Consider, by way of contrast, the strongly revisionary conclusion that some philosophers draw from Gettier counterexamples to the Justified True Belief (JTB) analysis of knowledge.

this messed up vintage cat sewing pattern has tormented me since i saw it & like some other folks have done in that post - i tried my hand at tweaking the pattern to resemble the illustration (and my personal tastes) a little more. i've ended up with this. i bestow it upon you nice folks now 👐

(update 2, added instructions & it's also on my Kofi!)

go forth and make weird little beanbag kittens! pls show me if you do!

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

I don't usually post my non-fandom craft stuff but I worked for a long time on this tablecloth so I wanted to show it off😌

Because this got popular for some reason I wanted to add the pattern in this version- I used crochet thread and a 1.4 mm hook

And also for those asking I did not track exactly how long i worked on it but it was over the course of a year and a half
