I did my bi-annual dabbling into sewing by creating a dapper little autumn outfit for one of my stuffed animals! Didn't take as long as I expected to sew by hand. ^u^ Not visible in these photographs are the little flowers embroidered on the sides of the pants (a remnant from its past life as a thrifted blazer) and the hole sewn in the back of the pants to let the tail out (an absolute must for all teddy bear clothing :D).
Costume is inspired by an old Winnie the Pooh adaptation concept by @skwtches! Thanks for the cute and cozy content!
Pants are a modification of a pattern by It's Always Autumn.

I know you already decided Donnie would be with Piel for your Separated AU, but I would at least like to state an alternative that could've also been fun: Warren as Donnie's dad.
Already there's the obvious fun of the disaster twins getting to know each other first before their dads mutate/go missing, but I feel like there could be a fun dynamic with Warren, specifically I could totally imagine him being like Hughes from FMA - "Look at my son, isn't he great, he could absolutely create a death ray if I didn't promise to only buy him uranium once he's 18, why is he green? fuck you, he's created half the amazing things in this news station, question anything about him again and I will make your time at this job a living Hell." And that would mesh perfectly with Donnie's crave of praise from a parent-aged adult!
Also there's potential angst once Warren is mutated and goes missing, as even if he does build himself up as this amazingly capable mutant that is more than enough to be an arch enemy of local superheroes, comparing himself to his own amazingly capable son that actually could be a supervillain if he so wanted, he feels lesser, believing Donnie is better off not being dragged down by him.
Not saying you should change anything! Just wanted to spout the ideas in my brain that I think could be fun!
That would be so much fun(and sad poor warren) I do love the idea of the disaster twins meeting earlier.

As Though Holy
Copia/Aether/Dew body worship my god what more could y'all ask for
--
Backstage is always a mess after a ritual, techies and crew rushing through the venue, everyone dodging huge rolling crates like their lives depended on it. Usually Copia found himself at the center of the fray, calling out orders and making notes for the next performance. He’d gained a bit of a loving reputation for being a control freak, but tonight he’s nowhere to be found, no praise nor notes to give.
Instead, he’s currently collapsed in a musty smelling couch in his dressing room, lit cigarette hanging limply from his half-cleaned lips. He’d not really tried to get the paint off, especially since that meant staring himself down in the full body mirror that he’s now desperately trying to avoid making eye contact with himself in. The once-flattering glittery jacket now seemed gauche, ill-conceived, and it’s taking Copia a lot of mental energy not to throw it into the garbage. He’d probably stay there all night if there wasn’t a knock at the door, two sharp raps that Copia immediately recognizes as his quintessence ghoul.

homophobes will really say they believe in “traditional marriage” and then get married for love. you’ll see a couple who DIDN’T get married for the purpose of joining two families together to combine wealth and assets say shit like “it’s just not natural” “that’s not how it’s supposed to happen”. ken, linda, neither of your parents paid a dowry. i don’t wanna hear it

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.
sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.
you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.
it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.
but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.
they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.
they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.
barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.
and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.
but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.
they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!
this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.
