Um, I love your Disney Princess AU, can you please write more?

Hii HitGirl!! Sorry I took so long. Thank you for this ask, I'm so truly happy you enjoy it so much! Please don't be hesitant to prompt me for this verse, I'm all too excited to write it- and I truly appreciate that people love it as well <3

I took a bit of extra time because I wanted to get all of Alex's cats right! so I went searching lol Also this is unedited so hopefully it doesn't suck

Part 1 | Part 4

Part 5

Getting to Alex's wasn't as difficult as Max worried it would have been. Considering all that has happened so far, Max thought Daniel would have had issues getting into a car. but it turns out the main problem ended up being getting Daniel out of the car.

He loved to drive and he loved to race. Max had to promise to let Daniel drive at some point in the future.

Pinky swears because those were unbreakable. Daniel's face had taken on a seriousness that Max found out of place. He agreed easily because he hadn't been lying and it was such an easy thing that made Daniel happy.

Lando had tried to prepare Alex, he really did. But there was nothing that could get you ready for seeing literal magic in real life– if you'd never experienced it before. Alex knew about magic, it was a cultural thing, but he'd never encountered it in exactly the way Lando tried to explain.

Daniel was in heaven. That's what Alex's house was! Alex was fun, he was tall and his smile was bright but then the noise had overwhelmed Daniel for a little. So many curious voices! And he was so excited to meet everyone.

Very soon he was in the middle of a kitty pile; there was Horsey but he also answers to Stan, Duckie, MooMoo, Sasha, Frooky, Goosey, Lookie, Gucci— there was no way Daniel was going to remember everyone. He apologized so many time already and Tino said it was fine. They were all just happy to talk to someone new and Daniel was so so happy to meet everyone.

He was overwhelmed in the best way and his grin told everyone just how ecstatic he was. Max could only stare at Daniel, while Lando and Charles tried to fill Alex in on what they knew. There wasn’t that much information other than what was happening in front of them.

Alex’s girlfriend Lily came home with boxes of pizza and Daniel swayed happily in his purring pile. She placed the boxes in the kitchen counter and bounded happily over to Daniel. Alex had been texting her updates and she wanted so much to meet Daniel.

“Hi! I’m Lily, its so nice to meet you!”

Daniel beamed at her, entranced by the glitter that sparkled over her eyes. It shimmered green in one direction and purple in another. Lily was beautiful and Daniel sang as much, he reached out for her face and the rose on the back of his hand bloomed more petals than it had before.

The pile of cats vibrated with purrs that would probably register as a seismic event if Jimmy and Sassy were there as well. Tino and Otto started their own awhoos and then it was chaos because Alex joined in, awhooing with the dogs. Lando followed suit because he loved all forms of chaos.

Max and Charles were left watching the madness from the kitchen, because even Lily fell to Daniel’s charms– giggling and blushing at the magic around her.

It took a little while for everything to die down, and reach a baseline level once more. Pizza was shared and Daniel positively vibrated out of his skin. He hummed the entire time that he wasn’t chewing or swallowing– though he did try hard.

“Lily…” Daniel asked when the boys started playing FIFA, it was interesting but he was way more interested in the glitter Lily wore. MooMoo said it was eyeshadow and Daniel believed them because they would know best. Cats never lie. Michelle never wore make up like this, she stuck to neutrals, this would look amazing on her.

“Yes?” She smiled sweetly at him, looking up from petting Horsey.

“How did you get the glitter– on your eyes? It's really pretty.” He asked shyly, biting the side of his finger.

“Oh! I can show you– come!” The cats shuffled away, letting them get up from the couch unhindered. Lily lead him out of the living room– Max’s eyes following them– to one of the bedrooms, but there was no bed. It had all sorts of sports tools and there was a desk with lights and a large mirror. Lily turned on the lights and started digging through a drawer. With an aha! She showed him three small pots of sparkly powder.

Grasping his left hand, she opened one of the pots and dipped her index finger in, before smearing a bright red shimmery pigment over his rose. Daniel’s eyes widened in surprise and his mouth opened in an O as he shifted his wrist to see how the colour shimmered in the light. The rose bloomed even prettier with the added colour.

“May I?” He asked reverently and she nodded, handing him a pot of bright sapphire blue. She uncapped it for him and he tentatively dipped a finger in, admiring how the whorls of his fingerprint were now shimmery. “So pretty,” he whispered before smearing the colour in the fluttering wings of his cherub. The tattoo smiled at him before shooting an arrow in glee.

“That’s beautiful!” Lily gasped, entranced by the site. Daniel smeared the rest of the pigment on the belly of the cherub who giggled, which made him giggle.

“I can’t wait to show Max!” Daniel smiled in wonder, his big brown eyes watching the play of shimmer as he moved his wrist and forearm. Lily smiled sweetly at him, “you should show him now.”

“But he’s playing–”

“He won’t mind.” She grinned conspiratorially and he grinned in return, nodding once before skipping out of the room, humming a happy tune.

“Max! Max– look! I sparkle!” He sang proudly, kneeling by the bewildered man who sat crosslegged on the floor and pushed his arm in his face. Lando and Charles snickered behind them.

Max looked at Daniel’s fluttering and shimmering tattoos before looking up at his beaming face, “yes, very beautiful Daniel.” He responded softly, his tummy swooped– as if he just took the checkered flag– when Daniel blushed.

9: The fight

The Great Assembly, gender neutral reader x monster (male naga). Sfw. Tw for violence/blood. Previous Next

You rush to a sitting position, and start scrolling through the messages first. The first few are just updates from Irwin, with attached photos of him hanging out with Elise, and pictures of pretty stuff they’ve seen. There’s a selfie of him with his arm slung around Elise’s massive frame, and they’re both blowing raspberries at the camera. “We’re gonna get there first slowpokes!”

They’re followed by a few others.

“I know connection’s shit out here but let me know you’re ok. If snake guy gives ya trouble I’ll kick his ass!”

“Or well. I’ll tell Elise to kick his ass. She’s warming up to my amazing charms ;)”

“wait. Do snakes have asses? :o Can you check?”

“uknow, scratch that. Don’t look at his hypothetical butt, that’d be weird.”

“But seriously, u good? I’m worrying over here. Everything good w/ me tho. We’re waaaaay ahead of you ;p”

The delivery time shows a pause for a few hours until the messages continue.

“Dude, this is getting scary. Elise says we’ve run into boarbeast territory, somehow. What a fucking coincidink. I hear them howling.”

“hey be careful out there, ya hear? I don’t know where u are but if you’re anywhere near us keep it on the downlow. We ran into some of the others, they’ve had issues too.”

“DUDE ANSWER. We ran into finance, she said she lost her hum partner somewhere in a scuffle?? WHERE ARE YOU.”

“HELLO?? Don’t you fucking dare be dead, I’ll kick you ass!”

“Why aren’t you picking up?? Elise just fought off on of the things, and I ran I lost her she’s fucking gone I’m getting super freaked out ANSWER!!”

The last call was from yesterday.

You immediately discard your sleeping bag, pull on your clothes and boots and step outside.

“Tiny? What are you doing?” Amren asks dully, poking his head out of his tent.

You ignore him and dial Irwin.

The phone rings for a bit.

“Pick up, pick up…” you mutter.

Amren fully exists his tent, sluggish and shuddering against the cold. He looks at you worryingly with his arms crossed.

“Pick up..!” you hiss.

It goes to voicemail.

You snarl at the tone, and pull out your compass.

“We have to get to them,” you inform him. “They were just attacked.”

Amren slithers a bit closer, regaining full awareness at your unease. “Slow down, Tiny. Who were attacked?"

“Irwin and Elise!” you look around, trying to get your bearings. “They got jumped by the boarbeasts, Irwin’s out there alone – can’t believe I just sat and drank coffee while all this was going on!”

You start out northwest, when you suddenly feel Amren’s cold hand locking around your wrist.

“Tiny, hold on-”

“We can’t just sit here,” you pull at his arm.

“We can’t just storm into a fight we know nothing about!” he hisses, and tightens his grip. “You don’t know what you’re running into. If they truly got attacked by boarbeasts none of us will be better off if we storm off-”

“You can’t be serious,” you cut him off.

He glares. “I am very serious.”

You yank your arm out of his grip. “So what, you suggest we just sit here and hope for the best? If there’s any way we can help-”

“You don’t even know where they are!” Amren snarls. “Are you going to storm off in the middle of the night with nothing but a vague northern direction and hope you won’t get mauled? For once in your life, THINK, Tiny.”

You shake your head at him. You are thinking. You are thinking your friend is in trouble, and you need to help him. He begged for your aid and you weren't there. You can't leave him behind. “I can’t believe you. Do you really care that little?”

Amren’s eyes harden. “I’m trying to stop you from going and getting yourself in trouble-”

“You’re being selfish! And I’m going. If you won’t help, get out of my way,” you bark, and start off north.

You feel a very strong tug as Amren once again grips you, though this time locking his hands around both your arms.

“Could you please stop being so stubbornly reckless?” he spits, gripping tighter as you struggle against him.

“What the hell- let me go!”

“No. If your partner got attacked, he’s most likely dead by now anyway, so it doesn't even matter. There’s nothing you can do, so just settle down!”

You stare back at him. How fuckingdare he? How can he say that so callously?

You try and weasel out of his grip for a few seconds, but his hand are locked around your biceps like vices.

You wince, deciding you have to try a different approach.

You use the power he’s keeping you restrained with against him by suddenly jumping into him, shoving him backwards. You miscalculate, however, and end up slamming the back of your head against his jaw. He lets out a hiss of pain, and releases your arms to hold his face.

You stumble forward, somewhat startled by the impact and sudden pain in the back of your skull. You look back.

Amren tries his jaw, and stares at you somewhat surprised. Then his look turns venomous as he bares his teeth at you in anger.

“You know what? Fine! Go ahead. I am sick of babysitting you,” he snarks, and leans back, flicking his tongue. “If you’re so adamant on being insufferable and getting yourself killed, by all means don’t let me stop you!”

You have had it. Enough with his attitude, enough with his uncaring demeanor, enough of him.

You sneer at him, balling your fists. “And I am sick of you acting like a prick for the hell of it, and I am sick of trying to turn that around!” you meet his stare and jab a finger at him as you speak. “Do you know what? If you actually showed some compassion for once in your life, maybe people would stop being oh so insufferable around you? Making friends! What a fucking concept!” you yell, turning on your heel.

You march off in what you hope is the right direction towards Irwin, leaving Amren in your dust.

He stares wordlessly after you.

Anger still bubbles in you chest as you storm through the forest, only armed with your flashlight and a compass. You didn’t even stop to pick up your backpack, but you don’t have time to worry about that right now.

“Northwest, northwest..” you mutter, periodically glancing at the compass and the road ahead of you. You try calling Irwin again a few times, but it always goes to voicemail.

You grit your teeth.

You keep going for a good 20 minutes, but when the adrenaline start to slowly simmer down you realize the situation that you’ve put yourself in. The unknown woodlands loom quietly around you, trees swaying gently in the wind.

You have no idea where you are.

Looking around, the nighttime forest somehow seem a lot more threatening now that you’re alone and somewhat lost. You have had brighter ideas in your life.

Looking at your phone you pull up the navigator to try and check how far you are from where you’d guess Irwin could be if he headed straight north from the lodge. You try not to wince too much at how it’s almost 4am.

You do get an estimate, but come to a stop, however, when you realize something.

Amren has been dragging you off the track for about two whole days. Even if you somehow managed to pinpoint Irwin’s exact location, there’s no way you’d ever reach him to do anything in time if he really got attacked.

The horrifying situation hits you like a brick, and you suddenly feel very silly and frustrated. What the hell were you thinking? That you’d somehow fly into the middle of a dramatic battle like an unsung hero, and that that would magically solve everything?

You stop to gather yourself, leaning against a tree. How could you be this stupid? You breathe hard, considering your options.

Should you call the police?

Should you turn back?

Should you keep going and hope for the best?

Dread settles as you realize how powerless you are in this situation. Worry for your friend's safety and being rendered incapable of action is infuriating. Maybe swallowing your pride and go back to actually come up with a plan, like a certain insufferable snake suggested, is the better option.

That’s when you suddenly hear something rustle in the bushes from somewhere to your right, and you look over there, ready to churn your frustrations outwards.

“Amren, if you’ve come to gloat you can piss right off-”

You cut yourself short.

That's not Amren.

Two pair of vicious red eyes reflect the light from your flashlight, sitting atop a long snout. The maw opens in a snarl, revealing a row of sharp canine teeth alongside two tusks. A mess of black fur covers the horrendous wolf-boar mixed face.

You stare at the boarbeast, and fear settles in your core, sending a nauseating static through your body and gathering as a chill down your spine. Your entire body tenses in a freeze response, clenching the flashlight so tight you feel it might break.

The beast stares at you for a solid minute, before creeping closer, growling.

You involuntarily take a step back, when Amren’s voice rings in your head.

Use speed. Keep it at a distance.

The clarity comes short lived, as the beast suddenly charges.

You scream, and throw yourself behind the tree you were standing at, feeling a tusk barely scraping by your knee. The beast hurls itself to the side, it’s bushy tail waving through the air, and it mercilessly comes at you again, opening it’s maw to bite. You smack it with the flashlight, knocking it’s head to the side, but it rams into you, knocking you backwards on the floor. You land with a grunt on your back, banging your head against the mossy undergrowth.

You register snarling in your dizziness, and push yourself up to stare at the beast. It circles you, growling, and you scramble backwards on the forest floor, trying to get to your feet.

You don’t get the chance, as the beast roars, and springs toward you. You pull your arm up to protect your face, and yelp as it's maw locks around your lower arm and it bites.

The pain shoots through you, and you let out another scream as you start knocking your flashlight into its skull uselessly. You feel its warm pungent breath in you face and the loud snarling filling your ears as its teeth tears through your jacket and pierces through your skin, powerful jaws threatening to crush bone.

The beast suddenly releases you, however, as you spot a shadow slamming into it from the side, and a terrifying howl rakes through the night. The beast crashes down with a squeal, and you quickly scramble backwards in a panic, clutching your injured arm protectively.

You can’t see a thing, but you can hear howls, yips and grunting, and the sound of snapping jaws. You frantically feel around for your flashlight, lost somewhere in the scuffle, and wince when you suddenly hear a loud thud followed by a wet tearing noise and a ferocious snarl.

The squealing boarbeast goes quiet, save for an unpleasant gurgling wheeze.

You heart is hammering in your chest, and blood rushes through your body as you breathe heavily, staring out into the quiet dark.

You hear panting, and something shuffling around. Then you hear footsteps, creeping toward you. Your hand finally grasps the flashlight, and you hurriedly shine it on you savior.

You recognize the furry face that shields her eyes from the light, her muzzle and hands covered in blood.

“Mira..?” you whimper.

“And not a second too soon,” Mira coughs, gritting her teeth as she eyes the now dead boarbeast lying on the forest floor. Blood is slowly pooling out from a fresh deep gash on its neck. It twitches slightly.

She stretches out her furry palm out to you. You just stare at it for a few seconds, and she gently retreats it.

“Fair enough,” she says, and plops down next to you instead, wiping her hands off in the grass. “Is it okay if I put my arm around you? You seem really rattled,” she asks, hovering her arm over your shoulders without touching.

You nod wordlessly, and you feel a comforting warm weight settling around your shoulders as Mira gently leans you into her.

“Are you alright?” she asks softly.

You feel tears sting in your eyes, and you can’t stop them from falling. You’ve had more terrifying experiences in the past 24 hours to last you a lifetime, and here Mira is. The contrast of her gentle concern would be enough to send anyone over the edge. You put your non-injured hand over your mouth to ground yourself as you try to control your erratic breathing.

“It’s okay,” Mira says, squeezing you gently. “Take your time, let it all out.”

It takes a while, but Mira patiently holds you close while you gather yourself. Eventually, you’ve calmed down enough to wipe off the rest of your tears. Mira gives you another squeeze, and releases you. She scoots back to look at you better.

“Goodness, your arm-!” she gasps. “Here, hold on..”

Mira start ruffling around her backpack, and pulls out a bandage and some disinfectant. She immediately gets to work fussing over you, cleaning the wound and wrapping it tightly.

“I’m no doctor, but I think you’re in luck. It doesn't look too deep,” she says reassuringly.

You hiss in pain as she works, the disinfectant burning as it clears out the wound. You’ll take her word for it.

“H-how did you find me?” you ask.

She finishes wrapping your arm, and looks away somewhat sheepishly.

“You, uh. You forgot this,” she reaches back into her backpack, and pulls out the beanie you thought you’d lost.

“My hat?” you gingerly take it out of her paws and put it on. The warmth is comforting. “Well, thanks. Where did you find it?”

“When I was cleaning up after you left,” she replies. “I overheard Mrs. Hansen talking to someone on the phone complaining about boarbeasts, and got worried. So I, uh. Kinda. Tracked you? Using your scent on the beanie?” Mira doesn’t meet your eye. “And when it went immediately east I got kind of suspicious. Why would you go so far off the routes? And with Mr. Backpack out of all people?”

She looks around, looking somewhat on edge.

“Speaking of. Where is he? Shouldn’t he be out here with you? And.. why were you even out alone in the middle of the night? It’s dangerous for a hum to go solo out here.”

You look to the ground. “We, uh. We had a fight. We’ve been having multiple fights, actually,” you laugh forlornly. “But this one was bad. I got word Irwin was attacked, and I wanted to leave immediately to help. Amren tried to stop me. I called him a selfish prick and stormed off. And got attacked,” you snort. “God it sounds so stupid saying it out loud.”

Mira smiles softly, and gently pats your shoulder. “You wanted to help your friend. We don’t always think clearly when in distress.”

“Guess not,” you let out a shuddering sigh.

“It’s a bit weird, though?” Mira notes after a brief pause. “That Mr. Backpack would just drag you all the way off map?”

You frown. “He said it was to avoid the pack of boarbeasts up north. He apparently already knew about them. I already reprimanded him for not warning the others.”

“He hasn’t like – pulled anything, has he?” she asks somewhat nervously.

“What? No. Well. Besides his usual bad attitude, no. He actually defended me at one point.”

Mira eyes you. “This is going to sound kinda harsh but – are you sure he hasn’t thrown you for a loop?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean – if he truly wanted to avoid boarbeasts he did a poor job. They roam north, sure, but they’re worse away from the most frequented paths, like any animal. And letting you storm off on your own just now just doesn’t sit right with me. I don’t know, I just don’t understand the motive, and I certainly don’t trust he has any other interests than his own in mind.”

There’s a pause as Mira let’s her words settle with you. You suppose it is weird he’d go to such lengths to just be an ass.

“Why would he drag you away from everyone else like that? Mrs. Hansen said you were supposed to run into the others as you went through the different routes, keeping the spirits and the friendly competition up. Why isolate you from that?” Mira continues, focusing on your face.

You frown as you think about it. Amren's an insufferable bastard at the best of times, sure, but hasn’t he at least somewhat gained your trust at this point?

But if he knows this place so well, he should have also known it’d be dangerous east. The constant leaving you at disadvantage, keeping you out of the loop of where you’re going?

But then, why would he go out of his way to defend you earlier?

So he could finish you himself, a nasty thought pops into your mind and you shudder.

Mira regards you for a second with sympathetic eyes as you think. She gently squeezes your shoulder.

“Hey, why don’t we get you out of here. I happen to have a functional GPS, and there’s a place a bit from here where we can get picked up. I think you’ll be forgiven if you don’t finish this absolutely ridiculous competition”, she grins softly, trying to lighten the mood.

You nod, tears stinging your eyes again. You don’t know what to think. Anything to get the hell out of this forest.

Mira helps you up, and gently takes your arm as you start walking.

“Thank you,” you say. “Really. Thank you so much.”

“Anytime,” Mira says warmly.

You walk with Mira through the woods for some time, her never taking her arm off you, and you’re grateful for the support and extra warmth she provides in the cold night.

“Did you eventually enter the competition on your own?” you ask to fill the silence as you walk.

“Nah, Mrs. Hansen figured it wouldn’t be fair to send me off on my own," she replies. "So I’ve been doing my own thing around the lodge, until I started looking for you."

“Sounds kinda boring.”

She grins. “It’s been very entertaining tracking you two, though. It got a bit difficult after the muddied path. It looked like a war zone. What the hell happened?”

You smile a bit at the memory. “We got a little too sick of each other.”

“Clearly,” Mira shakes her head.

After walking for a good 15 minutes, you come by a small stream, where Mira excuses herself to go wash the boarbeast blood off her face. While she’s kneeling at the stream, you lean against a tree and look at you phone. Still nothing from Irwin.

You sigh, and try calling him again. It can’t hurt to try.

Your blood freezes to ice when you suddenly hear Irwin’s obnoxious high-spirit signature ringtone, clear as day. You stare at the source of the sound.

It’s coming from Mira.

Designing Fabric Prints for Kids: A Comprehensive Guide

Creating fabric prints for kids involves a unique blend of creativity, functionality, and an understanding of children's needs and preferences. Designing for this demographic requires careful consideration of colours, patterns, themes, and the safety of the materials used.

One of the most exciting parts of designing for kids is drawing inspiration from a variety of sources. Popular children’s books, cartoons, nature, and even children’s own drawings can serve as wonderful inspirations. For instance, characters from beloved stories can be transformed into vibrant prints, capturing the imaginations of young wearers.

Design Techniques

Designer fabric prints for kids often involve playful and dynamic patterns. Techniques such as digital printing allow for high-quality, detailed designs that bring illustrations to life. Patterns can range from whimsical and abstract to more structured themes like animals, space, or underwater scenes. Incorporating elements like interactive textures or glow-in-the-dark features can add an extra layer of excitement.

Color Psychology

Color plays a crucial role in kids' fabrics. Bright, cheerful colors like yellows, reds, and blues are often used because they are visually stimulating and can positively impact mood and behavior. Understanding color psychology helps in choosing hues that are not only attractive but also beneficial for children's emotional well-being.

Safety Considerations

Safety is paramount when designing for children. This means ensuring that all materials are non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and safe for delicate skin. It also involves designing prints that are durable and able to withstand frequent washing without fading. Safety certifications and compliance with international standards are critical components in the manufacturing process.

Latest Trends

Staying updated with the latest trends in children’s fashion helps keep designs relevant and appealing. Currently, trends like sustainable fabrics, educational prints (such as alphabets and numbers), and gender-neutral designs are gaining popularity. These trends not only cater to modern parenting values but also provide added educational value.

Listening to parents and kids about what they like or dislike can significantly inform the design process. Engaging with the community through surveys, focus groups, and even social media can provide insights that help create more targeted and successful fabric prints.

1. Understanding the Market and Audience

1.1 Demographic Insights

The first step in designing fabric prints for kids is understanding your target audience. This includes children of different age groups, ranging from infants to pre-teens. Each age group has specific preferences and needs:

Infants (0-2 years): Soft, pastel colors and simple, soothing patterns are ideal. Designs should focus on visual stimulation without overwhelming the baby.

Toddlers (2-4 years): Bright colors and playful patterns attract this age group. Designs often feature animals, nature, and simple geometric shapes.

Children (5-8 years): More complex and themed designs are popular, including characters from favorite books, movies, and TV shows.

Pre-teens (9-12 years): Preferences shift towards more sophisticated and personalized designs, including favorite hobbies, sports, and more mature patterns.

1.2 Parental Preferences

While children are the end-users, parents are the buyers. Therefore, understanding parental preferences is crucial. Parents look for:

Safety: Non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and durable fabrics.

Functionality: Easy-to-clean and maintain fabrics.

Educational Value: Prints that stimulate learning and creativity.

Aesthetics: Attractive designs that blend well with home décor.

2. Sources of Inspiration

2.1 Nature and Animals

Nature and animals are perennial favourites for kids' fabric prints.

Jungle animals (lions, elephants, monkeys)

Marine life (fish, dolphins, sea turtles)

Insects (butterflies, ladybugs, bees)

Flora (trees, flowers, leaves)

2.2 Storybooks and Fairytales

Characters and scenes from beloved storybooks and fairy tales provide endless inspiration. These designs can transport children into magical worlds, fostering their imagination and love for reading. Popular themes include:

Classic fairy tales (Cinderella, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood)

Adventure stories (pirates, space exploration, knights and dragons)

Mythical creatures (unicorns, mermaids, fairies)

2.3 Educational Themes

Fabrics that incorporate educational elements can be both fun and beneficial for children's development. These can include:

Alphabet and numbers

Shapes and colours

Maps and Geography

Science and space themes

4 Modern Pop Culture

Staying current with popular culture is essential. Incorporating themes from trending movies, TV shows, and games can make fabric designs more appealing. Always ensure you have the proper licensing for character designs from popular franchises.

3. Design Techniques and Tools

3.1 Hand-Drawn Illustrations

Hand-drawn illustrations add a personal and unique touch to fabric designs. Artists can create intricate and charming patterns that resonate with children. Techniques include:

Pencil sketches

Watercolor paintings

Ink drawings

3.2 Digital Design

Digital tools offer versatility and precision in designing fabric prints. Popular software includes:

Adobe Illustrator: Ideal for creating vector graphics, which are scalable without losing quality.

Photoshop: Excellent for detailed illustrations and photo-based designs.

Procreate: A favorite among illustrators for its intuitive interface and powerful features.

3.3 Combining Techniques

Combining hand-drawn elements with digital enhancements can result in unique and high-quality designs. For instance, an artist can sketch characters by hand and then scan and enhance them digitally.

4. Color Psychology and Choices

4.1 Understanding Color Psychology

Color psychology plays a significant role in fabric design, especially for children. Different colors evoke different emotions and reactions:

Red: Excitement and energy, but should be used sparingly to avoid overstimulation.

Blue: Calming and soothing, great for bedtime fabrics.

Yellow: Cheerful and happy, but too much can be overwhelming.

Green: Relaxing and associated with nature, ideal for learning environments.

Pink: Often associated with femininity, but also warmth and comfort.

Purple: Imaginative and creative, perfect for stimulating creativity.

Neutral Colors: Soft whites, beiges, and greys are calming and versatile.

4.2 Gender-Neutral Colors

Modern trends favor gender-neutral designs to appeal to a broader audience and promote inclusivity. Colors like teal, mustard, and grey can be combined with playful patterns to create appealing unisex designs.

5. Safety and Material Considerations

5.1 Non-Toxic and Hypoallergenic Materials

Ensuring the safety of fabrics for children is paramount. Fabrics should be free from harmful chemicals and dyes. Organic cotton, bamboo, and other natural fibers are excellent choices due to their hypoallergenic properties.

5.2 Durability and Maintenance

Children’s fabrics should be durable to withstand frequent washing and wear. Consider materials that are:

Machine washable

Resistant to shrinking and fading

Stain-resistant

[ Timothy Olyphant, 53, cismale, he/him ] Welcome to Antioch, GIMOTHY GRANT BLUME! Local sources report that you’ve been in town for 30 SOME ODD YEARS and are known to be SOCIABLE yet IMMORAL. Others have dredged up rumors that you’re involved in THE VAMPIRE OF ANTIOCH as BLUME DADDY, but most know you for your work as THE OWNER/OPERATOR at LOVE BOUTIQUE. We’ll see you around town soon!

Character Name: Gimothy Grant Blume Nickname (s): Giminy (Started by baby Annabelle when she couldn't say his Gimothy), Gum ball, Gim, etc. Give him all the nicknames and I'll update this Face Claim: Timothy Olyphant Birthday: August 18 May 7th, because now he was conceived at Woodstock Place of birth: Georgia, America Zodiac: Leo Taurus MBTI: ESTJ, the Executive Moral Alignment: Lawful neutral Occupation: Business owner/Professor Place of work: Love Boutique (Teacher at Antioch University) Subplot affiliation: The Vampire of Antioch 3 positive traits: Decisive, determined, diligent 3 negative traits: Amoral, calculating, irreverent Languages: English Love language: Quality Time Biography (optional):

His father a drunk and his mother a runaway, the pair had an illicit courtship that crossed the country, the pair of them running away from Antioch to be together. They traveled around between bars, tourist traps, and music festivals, with his mother Delilah winding up pregnant after a hazy few days at Woodstock. He wasn't the only musical baby from that, she would tell him with a laugh. There wasn't much laughing when Gim got older. By the time he was a teenager, his mama mostly laughed when she was out of her mind on her latest fix. The drugs weren't easy to kick. In fact, Delilah got into them further and further and one day she disappeared entirely. His father Josiah tried to find her, and ended up killing a man trying to find information. The law caught up with Josiah and Gimothy was supposed to go into the system since he was a minor. Instead he ran, lying and pretending to be older than he really was to get barely paying jobs that didn't care much about him as long as he did what he was paid to do. He wasn't wandering aimlessly, Gimothy had a goal in mind and that was going back to Antioch. He knew his parents were from there and that he had to have family, that there had to be something waiting for him. He just didn't expect how much family or to be wrapped up in people the way he was. It seemed like everywhere he looked, there was an aunt, an uncle, a cousin. No siblings, but that was fine because all the second degree family was more than enough to be overwhelming to a guy used to only two steady presences in his life. He'd only been in Antioch a handful of years when his girlfriend became pregnant. It was a stupid move to marry her, but he did it anyway, working on making a cute little family with her and their twins were adorable as far as Gim was concerned. Their marriage was another story. The kids were young when the divorce came, but they were old enough. Old enough for school, old enough to ask questions, and that wasn't a pleasant time in Gim's life even if he knew that it was probably better for them in the end. He got married a second time, and then a third, but he still only had the two kids, and they remained his world. Then his world was shattered, and his soul along with it. Years later, and Gim still hasn't learned how to put all the pieces back.

Wanted Connection #1: Someone that thinks they might be his illegitimate kid. Yes, I'm thinking about the Walshes. Wanted Connection #2: A toxic ex because the man has been around since his divorce. Wanted Connection #3: (Former) students of his from the university.

About me

Hi, it’s your tumblr hellhole guy. (All important text is in red, if you are just skimming through this post)

My main name is Arson, but some other names include: Ollie, Mellon, Wynter, Buddy, and Seek (based off another one of my usernames). (Also, I don’t mind you calling me by my username.)

My pronouns are basically everything but she/her (which is including of neopronouns), and I’m VERY uncomfortable with feminine terms like “girl” or “mrs”. I don’t care if you call me a “boy” or “mr”, but I really like gender neutral terms.

For more information about my identity, go to my pronouns page: en.pronouns.page/@enbyonsteriods

What’s below is kind of long, so hit “Keep reading” at your own risk

I have a very simple do not interact (DNI) list: if you’re a bigot, get out. That’s it.

If you are part of the DNI list, (how are you even on tumblr?) please don’t interact. If you do I will block you (that isn’t a threat, just go away plz)

Oh, and if I reblog anything from somebody in my DNI list and you (the reader) know that they are, PLEASE privately message me and tell me!!!

I lurk in fandoms that I’m interested in, and reblog posts of fandoms that I really like or am hyperfixated on.

Fandoms I currently am interested in/really like/am hyperfixated on (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER):

Object Show Community (mostly Battle for Dream Island and Inanimate Insanity)

Vocaloid/Vocal synths

Jujutsu Kaisen

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

Honkai: Star Rail

Delicious in Dungeon

[BOTH ASKS AND SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED RIGHT NOW, SORRY] I would really like if someone were to ask me a question about myself, or maybe even request something for me to draw (but don’t expect it to be too good, I’m better at graphic design and drawing objects than drawing people and animals)

I like making original characters (OCs), but I struggle with designing them (especially clothes since most of what my characters wear is utterly boring, unless I use a reference photo).

I almost always use tone indicators/tags to help indicate what message I’m trying to convey. I mostly use “/j” (joking), “/hj” (half-joking), “/srs” (serious) “/sarc” (sarcastic), “/gen” (genuine), “/pos” (positive), “/neu” (neutral), and “/neg” (negative). I won’t ever use “/srs” as “/j” because it’s confusing for people, including myself.

As my last pinned post said, please don’t follow me unless you want to see random stuff that I’m hyperfixated on in your following tab. I won’t be reblogging things from certain fandoms once my hyperfixation ends, so don’t follow me if you want to see reblogs of a specific fandom!!! That is, unless you want to be friends/mutuals or you like the memes/hyperfixation stuff that I reblog.

I will continue to update this post if I need to add anything or change anything.

Key Qualities of a Law Enforcement Officer

Serving the public effectively and maintaining order demands a comprehensive approach to training for law enforcement personnel, from rookie officers to elite units and leadership. Beyond meeting basic job requirements and credentials, these officers must cultivate essential traits through rigorous training and continuous self-improvement to excel in their roles.

A proactive mindset is crucial. Officers should not simply take the people or situations they encounter at face value, but have the drive to dig deeper when reasonable suspicions arise. On duty, they must maintain composure and think critically in various circumstances. For instance, in a routine traffic stop, an engaged officer will actively pursue a reasonable suspicion through astute questioning and observation. Making sound judgments to investigate violations of the law, rather than ignoring subtle warnings, can reveal crimes that could easily have been overlooked.

A desire for continuous learning and improvement is equally vital, considering communities are often dynamic and present evolving challenges to law enforcement. Officers should adapt and adopt updated policies and procedures based on the latest research findings. Those with an eager and open mindset to pursue ongoing training and education position themselves better for advanced roles within their department and to serve their communities more effectively.

Another skill officers should develop is proficiency in performing first aid and CPR. As first responders, they regularly encounter emergencies where members of the public may be injured or seriously ill. Acting swiftly before the arrival of an ambulance can be life-saving. Michigan police officer Trooper Tanner Harrison exemplifies why CPR training is crucial for law enforcement. Having quickly responded to а 911 call about а drowning baby in a backyard pond, Mr. Harrison found the unresponsive 2-year-old and, after a minute of CPR, restored the child’s pulse and breathing.

Officers repeatedly face danger in the line of duty, whether confronting criminals or responding to rescue situations. This courage enables them to risk their own safety and well-being to protect others, regardless of injury or harm. Numerous accounts have demonstrated officer courage in perilous situations, from sustaining multiple stab wounds while subduing knife-wielding attackers to risking their lives to engage and neutralize active shooters and rescuing individuals from burning buildings or submerged vehicles.

Certain encounters, such as hostage situations, demand a different approach, particularly for elite units. In these cases, officers must avoid violent intervention in favor of a more peaceful resolution to prevent or minimize hostage casualties. Such scenarios demand exceptional negotiation with hostage-takers to find mutually beneficial solutions, gather crucial intelligence, and buy time for tactical teams to set up and resources to become available.

Good leadership is another desirable trait officers at all levels, from rookies to top commanders, should have. Weak leadership - characterized by self-interest, unethical behavior, and abuse of power - can devastate team morale and erode public trust. In contrast, good leaders seek input from others for informed decisions, avoid favoritism, and lead without ruling through fear or intimidation. They exercise restraint, remaining composed even when team members make mistakes or when provoked by the public. After successful operations, good leaders humbly recognize the entire team's collective effort.

Law enforcement agencies have established meaningful ways to recognize officers who demonstrate exemplary traits and go above and beyond in their service. Awards, such as Officer of the Month, honor those who impress with their dedication, whether on a local, state or federal level. For acts of singular heroism that endanger one's own safety to protect others, the Medal of Valor and Medal of Bravery denote extraordinary bravery in the line of duty. Similarly, the Life Saving Citation respects those whose quick thinking and disregard for personal welfare results in saving a human life.

These issues are important, so I'll add more information (and some personal salt).

I saw this article earlier today, of course, it does infuriate me. My family is relatively pro-Trump, bleeding-out-hell, my entire hometown, and I found myself neutral. But this? This ENSURES I reject my vote from his clammy grasp.

The FtM writing this segment only wants to write, exercise, drink tea and overthink. Somehow it seems, my simple identity as transgender has gotten really popular with the republican party. I cannot fully understand why a politician would target trans people, unless it's all for power and nothing else, because they're doing it.

Are you simply angry we won't lie complacent to your subjective ideas? Your party does not allow other subjection inside, therefore, an echo-chamber of dangerous subjective norms. It's as if they're stuck on Windows 98 and refuse updates and the computer implodes. Just as they refuse to consider progression, and the government is already a compartmentalized and rather candidly uneducated bunch. Which will probably implode.

Trump "advocated" in education too. Let's break this one down specifically:

On the surface, perhaps to the average American, this does not seem too egregious. Celebration of the roles of mothers and fathers? Cool, right? NO. LOOK CLOSER.

It's perfectly okay and recommended to have celebratory attitudes toward (good) parents and their efforts, definitely. I have no issue with this in particular.

However, This phrase indirectly silences LGBTQIA+ people as official parents or family members. He speaks to celebrate nuclear families and nothing else. Does that mean this also indirectly looks down on single parents, polyamorous, etcetera types of families?

Are their families, and LGBTQIA+ families, suddenly not to be celebrated, only because they stray from a single cultural ideal?

Others' ways of life is indeed part of American culture, American melting pot culture, to be exact. If you're a politician who is ashamed to see diversity of all kinds, America is not the place for you to be in power.

Inhibit the free, and the brave will (eventually) force you out. Just saying...

The United States has genuinely amazing things and people, and

IT WOULD BE A SHAME FOR ORANGE MAN TO FURTHER THOW THE PLACE INTO SOME REAL-LIFE FLAMING PLINKO . It starts with trans people, ends with the end of us.

It's never been about "protecting kids," and it's always been about wanting to mandating trans people out of existence.

No fact check will stop this. No Twitter snark or late night tv host will stop this. No debate in the marketplace of ideas will stop this.

The Right has shown they will work for 50 years relentlessly pushing to eliminate people's right to have autonomy over their own bodies with their single minded pursuit to attack abortion and birth control. They won't stop. They've picked us as a target, and we trans people are, what, 2% of the population compared to 51% of the population who need these kind of reproductive services? We don't have the numbers to fight this on our own. We're about to be overwhelmed by this.

Please, I am begging you, we need help!

What are the tips for a child’s dental health?

Maintaining good dental health in children is crucial for their overall well-being. Here are some tips:

Start Early: Begin oral hygiene habits as soon as your child’s first tooth appears. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean their gums and switch to a small, soft-bristled toothbrush once teeth emerge.

Supervise Brushing: Children may not have the dexterity to brush properly until around age 6 or 7. Supervise brushing to ensure they’re reaching all areas and using the right technique.

Use Fluoride Toothpaste: Use a fluoride toothpaste appropriate for your child’s age. For children under 3, use a smear of toothpaste the size of a grain of rice. For children 3 to 6, use a pea-sized amount.

Encourage Healthy Eating Habits: Limit sugary snacks and drinks, as sugar contributes to tooth decay. Encourage a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule regular dental check-ups, starting around the age of 1 or within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth. This helps catch any issues early and promotes a positive relationship with the dentist.

Flossing: Once your child’s teeth begin to touch, start flossing between them daily to remove plaque and food particles.

Protect Teeth During Sports: If your child participates in sports, encourage them to wear a mouthguard to protect against dental injuries.

Limit Pacifier Use: Prolonged pacifier use or thumb sucking can affect the alignment of teeth. Try to wean your child off these habits by age 2 or 3.

Lead by Example: Children learn by example, so let them see you taking care of your own teeth by brushing and flossing regularly.

Water as the Primary Drink: Encourage water as the main drink between meals, as it helps rinse away food particles and keeps the mouth hydrated.

Avoid Bottle Decay: Don’t let your child fall asleep with a bottle containing milk, formula, juice, or any sugary liquid. This can lead to “bottle decay,” where sugars pool around the teeth, causing decay.

Stay Consistent: Establish a routine for dental care, including brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. Consistency is key to forming good habits.

Use Dental Sealants: Consider getting dental sealants for your child’s molars. Sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to protect them from decay.

Monitor Fluoride Intake: While fluoride is beneficial for dental health, excessive fluoride intake can lead to fluorosis, which causes discoloration of teeth. Ensure your child is getting an appropriate amount of fluoride-based on their age and risk of decay.

Teach Proper Technique: Teach your child the correct brushing and flossing technique. Use gentle, circular motions for brushing and a sawing motion for flossing between teeth.

Address Dental Anxiety: If your child experiences dental anxiety, address their concerns and try to make dental visits as positive and comfortable as possible. Pediatric dentists are trained to work with children and can often provide a more child-friendly environment.

Limit Sticky Foods: Sticky snacks like gummy candies or dried fruits can cling to teeth and increase the risk of decay. Limit these types of foods to your child’s diet.

Encourage Drinking Water After Meals: Encourage your child to drink water after meals to help rinse away food particles and neutralize acids in the mouth.

Be Aware of Teething Symptoms: During teething, some children may experience discomfort or irritability. Provide appropriate teething toys or chilled washcloths to help soothe their gums.

Stay Informed: Keep yourself informed about proper dental care for children by regularly consulting with pediatric dentists and staying updated on recommendations from reputable dental associations.

By following these tips and establishing good oral hygiene habits early on, you can help ensure your child maintains healthy teeth and gums throughout their life.

Just check this out for more information on health and fitness!
