#Cat dad Gift

[little-cat-press]

Sometime when my older siblings were little, my dad discovered that they found stories about his childhood more entertaining if he told them as "One time my friend Frederick..." instead of "One time when I was a kid...", and thus Frederick Stories were born.

I loved hearing Frederick Stories growing up, and so did all of my siblings. At some point, Dad decided to write (some of) them down, and a year or two ago I asked him for the file.

And now, currently in the mail to arrive late for Christmas, is a hand-bound copy of his book.

Two copies, actually, because I'm also sending one to his parents. He mentioned in the introduction that when he had first written these stories down, he had given them a copy for Christmas, and I thought they would like to have another, probably more nicely bound, one.

There's a third copy for me, but it took me long enough to finish these two before Christmas, and my copy isn't finished yet. Mostly, but not quite.

It is bound in a nice brown cloth I have, and titled with gold paint, because I thought it would lend it a sort of Old Book vibe that I thought would go well with the title.

Hence also the gothic font for the title.

I also did a few experiments with ways of turning cloth into bookcloth, which is why the two books are a bit different in color. The one on the right in the above picture is the original cloth color.

The edges are gilded with the same gold paint as the title is done in, which also helps with the Old Fancy Book vibe I wanted.

Almost all of the stories opened with "One day, Frederick..." or "One time, Frederick...", and I picked a nice ornamental font for the dropcaps there.

Aaaand I've managed to finish it on time by the end of christmas season / on time for orthodox one? Happy ugly sweater season anyway regardless what you celebrate.

Main idea here is that they are having great holiday marathon of old spy films curated by Nat. Also she and Bucky are providing reality check for the dumb shit happening while giving lived through examples of reality being even stupider sometimes ;P

Also I headcanon (does it count as a headcanon if it's my drawing?idk) that either after last year sweater fiasco few aunts in Sam's quite big family decided to fix that while taking inspiration from their superhero costumes. Or that actually Bucky took up knitting because it requires a lot of repetitive and very precise hand movements and it helps him notice when his hand may need a tune up.

Clear lineart version is here and there is a close up below the cut ;)

Yesterday my gf and I adopted a cat. An adorable little boy, three years old according to the refuge, and they said he was sociable ++ but DAMN that is one CUDDLY cat.

I'm writing this with him on my lap. He's there because his previous resting spot, my gf's lap, is now occupied by her laptop because she has to work.

He's purring. He purred all night. He has the bluest eyes I've ever seen. I love him with all my heart.

We named him Mr Darcy

Day 1 of posting fanfic ideas I do not have time to write cuz, well, I get one idea per day AT LEAST. In this episode: MINSUNG bridgeton au in which Minho is the only son of a rich ass lord or whatever so everyone is desperate to get him to marry but he is known to be quite arrogant and piss off every possible bride or parents in law (he doesn't even do it on purpose, maybe)

He sometimes disappears in the middle of a ball because he somehow managed to find a cat straying (lol) around the garden so he follows around & he keeps feeding stray cats

Obviously he is an ace in fencing, riding, literature, etc.

Entrance Han Jisung, son of a business man who just worked very hard to get where he is now but is not of any royal blood, maybe the mother happened to be, maybe not, anyway the family is "just" in the same circles as the royal ones because of business and because they need their products. Doesn't stop them from gossiping or talking shit about them.

The problem: Jisung is charismatic af and not exactly a gentleman as the ladies are used to it (he a hoe maybe), he also still wanders around the streets and meets with friends for political discussions, gambling, etc etc. He does not treat anyone differently.

Sooo one day Minho's horse runs away or whatever, or maybe he is busy with another cat, however, they meet & instantly click, which the lord does not find as funny - he is pressuring Minho into good manners & a noble environment and the royals still haven't really accepted Jisung as one of their own.

So he keeps hanging out with him (only to piss off his dad ofc) anddd what else could it be - Minho never wanted to be a Lord, he wanted to be a dancer which obviously isn't manly or fancy enough, so he never told anyone except there is this fruity guy named Hyunjin who is the youngest of a royal family so no one really cares about what he does (he throws fruity parties & wants to be a painter) and Minho sometimes trains there. Jisung composes piano songs & minho ends up dancing for him, tension evolves, we know what we know.

But then the older lord finds out about the parties and forbids minho from going there or meeting Jisung, who is also pressured into becoming a business man by his dad to maintain the family's wealth.

Soooo Minho is forced into engagement & Jisung, in one last attempt, writes a letter to him telling him he will run away/travel for business purposes overseas asking him to go with him. Which Minho recieves on the day of his wedding obviously.

Minho runs, but Jisung has already left his home, so he rushes to the haven only to find that he is too late and the ship has already sailed.

Minho gets married and years pass...his wife gifts him with a child, a son, before she dies in childbirth. Grieving, he moves away into a castle in a small town, barely interacting with the world. Refusing to get married again.

Until one day, a ship comes into the haven of said town, lead by no other than bang chan & his crew...

If someone wants to write this tag me and credit the idea hehe (posting this may 6th 2024)
