it's me, Darth Ryan

Fun fact related to yesterday’s shenanigans

The Halloween costume I was gonna wear originally did have a skirt but I changed it to the shorts

many of you have probably seen a post going around noting that a proposal to amend Title IX is open for comment

notably, the amendment includes an expansion of the term "sex discrimination" to include and protect marginalized gender identities. also notably, the comments are currently FULL of anti-trans sentiment (MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING IF YOU GO TO READ THEM)

i noticed that a lot of those comments use the same template, and reblogged that post with a template we can use in support of trans and nonbinary protection, but i wanted to copy it to a separate post so i could boost it to the tags. Now bear in mind it's a stock template and I'm no expert in law or politics, so it's a very rudimentary statement with minimal elaboration on its stance, so feel free to add to it as needed.

Please take a second to copy and paste this to the forum if you don't have time to write your own comment. There is 1 day left to add a comment, so please act now

I am writing in support of the redefinition of sex as used in Title IX, for the expansion of the legal protection of students and employees on the basis of gender identity. I believe that the acceptance of transgender and nonbinary individuals on a regulatory basis will pave the way for the normalization of transgender identities on a cultural level, improving the well-being and safety of our transgender and nonbinary citizens and allowing others to better understand and subsequently hold less stigma toward them.

I disagree with the opposition's sentiment that transgender or nonbinary identities inherently make someone a danger to others and often instead transgender and nonbinary individuals are more likely to be put in danger as a result of their gender identity. I believe that therefore discomfort or repulsion on this basis should be considered discrimination. Furthermore, as people and society continue to change and improve over time, we should shape our country and culture to suit the needs of the modern world. We ought not base our decisions for the future on what has "always been," as suggested by many in opposition.

i tried my best to translate it into digital so that people get a bit more accurate look at them. Tho bear with me I’ve never done an actual pattern design sheet before!

so basically my hope is that anyone could print these out to any size of their choosing and get the same result, but ive never tried anything larger than approx. 3 inches with these sooo idk if you try it tag me!

the goal is to sew the backs together to the lines at the tip of the head to the middle of the butt. then leaving a space along the belly piece near the butt end and sewing from one side of the butt including all the legs and the “mouth” to the other side with its legs to get back to the butt. if that makes sense

i usually pause sewing up the body once the head is fully sewn together,, usually after ive sewn both arms and ill yank it inside out where ill start sewing on the little poofball eyes so i know theyre in a good place, then resuming the body, and then pulling the whole thing inside out and pushing out the tips of the limbs with a skinny blunt object like a dull pencil until i can see the stitches. if you attempt this piece definitely make sure you stitch up the arm and leg crevices very well!!!!

then just stuff the lad and sew up his back end and its done :)

one suggestion for fabric is always try to use a stretchy soft fleecy fabric with these because its much easier if mistakes are made during sewing and to hold the ROUND shape better

Absolutely incredible.
