Hoo, boy, dummy learns to sew.

So apparently, you need to pay attention to the direction that you sew in, or "directional sewing." I... did not realize this was a thing.

"On an A-line skirt, for example, stitching the front and backs together from the hem to the waist on one side seam and from the waist to the hem on the other side seam renders one side longer than the other."

I am positive I've done this.

Really says something about the dire state of offerings for men interested in sewing their own clothes that even searching things like "interesting men's clothing patterns" brings up articles with links to four or five whole websites that primarily offer admittedly nice but practically identical patterns for making button-ups and work pants and maybe a varsity/bomber jacket if you're lucky.

(Branching out into historical costuming for everyday wear is like your one shot at variation, and even then, the ratio of men's to women's patterns on every website is frustrating to say the least.)

Patternmakers as a trans man I am begging you. Give me a little more to work with here.

She should count herself lucky, you are able to restore the verses marred by the fight, as the words are etched in your mind with a passion. Another good battle against each other. Your crew will suffice to fix the damage on the ship as you bring the pirate to your quarters. The promise of mushroom wine and some food after the work is done enough to push them into gear.

The clay hand holding your own feels cold, but at the same time it’s like it hides a warm core. Lava under the surface. You feel her stare on the back of your neck even in complete darkness, and you release her hand to light the lamp on the desk.

Her hands rest on either side of your body flat and solid against the table. Saltwater drips from her clothes to the nape of your neck, and dribbles down your vest and your shirt.

She has you right where she wants.

I’ve decided that all bats fall somewhere on this horrid little graph I’ve devised. Here are some prime examples of the various Creature Varieties found in nature.
