feng kowloon is a forever girl in many ways both figuratively and literally but I think the most untapped potential with him comes not only from him being In Fight with fuuko but also how he was part of nico and ichikos marriage. in a series with canonized polyamory.

he is not safe from being a mother once again

[starwikia]

Clothing Fasteners

Introduction:

When you're making or mending your own clothes, there's a fair chance you'll need a way to close your garment. Let's take a look at a few options.

This list is not exhaustive, just a quick overview of some of the most common fasteners.

Types of fasteners:

Buttons: buttons are probably the most common type of closure. While there's a lot of different types, they're usually knob-, toggle-, or disc-shaped and can be made of a wide variety of materials. Sew them onto your fabric and combine them with a button hole or a loop to fasten them.

Zippers: zippers are another popular closure, consisting of two parallel rows of teeth that interlock with each other. Different types of zippers can be used for different situations, including closed-end zippers, separating zippers, and invisible zippers.

Hooks and eyes: this fastener consists of a small hook that inserts into a loop. They're often used in lingerie, but have other uses, too. They can help take off stress of other closures such as a skirt zipper, making your clothes last longer.

Snaps: snap closures consist of two disks, one with a protruding end and one with an indent, that click into each other. They come in different sizes and are convenient if you don't want anything too fiddly. If sewing buttonholes and zippers intimidate you, snaps might be a good alternative to try.

Buckles: buckles consist of a flat frame with a hinged pin that can be used to secure two ends of a belt or strap together by poking the pin through a hole. Belts are probably the most well-known use of buckles, but they can also be used on shoes, purses, and a variety of clothing.

Hook and loop fasteners (Velcro): Velcro consists of two strips that stick together when they touch. One strip has teeny tiny hooks while the other has matching tiny loops: when you push them together, the hooks cling to the loop. As using Velcro doesn't require much dexterity, it's a great closure for people with motor issues.

Lacing: lacing means closing an item by inserting an end of string through a series of holes, eyelets, loops, or hooks. Lacing can be very fiddly, but it allows for an item to be adjusted to your size by either tightening or loosening your laces. This type of closure is popular on shoes and corsets, among others.

Ties: sometimes, all you need to close a garment is a set of strings or straps you can tie together. Ties are often used on looser items such as wrap items (skirts, dresses, pants,...) and aprons.

Brooches: a piece of jewellery used to either decorate a garment or to fasten two pieces of fabric together by poking a pin through your garment. This is not a permanent closure, but rather an accessory you can use on many different garments. Safety pins are a good alternative for these.

Drawstrings: similar to lacing, a drawstring is a bit of string drawn through a casing that can be used to gather fabric in place by pulling on the ends of the string and then tying them in place. Drawstrings are often used on bags, hoodies, waistbands, and necklines, among others.

[ID: a metal zipper, two buttons, a set of snaps, a hook and eye, a metal brooch, two Velcro strips, a belt with a metal buckle, and a corset belt with lacing in the front.]

Conclusion:

There are many options to close a garment. Pick the one that seems the most convenient for you and your project. Some may be easier to install than others: if you don' t feel confident in your zipper-sewing skills for example, snaps might be a good alternative.

If a fastener on a garment breaks, you can either replace it with the same type of fastener or try to replace it with a different type. If you've got an item you love but you don't like the way it closes, you can just replace it with whatever fastener is more convenient to you, too.

I never throw away a good fastener. I've got a shoebox filled with excess notions from previous projects, and whenever I have no choice but to throw out an item, I first salvage whatever I can before getting rid of it. The fabric might be beyond saving, but if it has buttons or a zipper that's still functional, it'd be a waste to throw those out, too.

Fresh Ideas for Travel in Pinnacles National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking around the Chaparral Trailhead Parking area with a view looking to the east-southeast to the High Peaks with its eroded rock formations and volcanic leftovers. This is in Pinnacles National Park. With this image, I took advantage of some high ground I was located on and captured a look across some wild grasses and sage brushes. With that angled look, I brought the High Peaks up into the image and had only a little portion of blue skies above to be a backdrop for the setting.

Crazy hobo Fuuko is buff as hell!

I love reading all the answers (relativelydimensional I want that too!), the things I want the most are basically 'oh what's in the show but written/explored better' (especially about Gaius ;) )

but one thing I'd re-write is Elyan doesn't die OR more Arthur & Elyan moments especially in the fall out of A Herald of the New Age.

the show would have been better if they kept Elyan with the Knights, but also if they explained why he choose to stay in Camelot after Gwen's exile...

And also as 1shadowhole more Knights showing that they actually are there doing stuff, and not just for decoration and comical relief.

Okay if you guys were writers of Merlin what storyline you would have written other than what the fandom wishes it would have happened in the show?

undead unluck tozukas biggest flaw as a writer imo is that he has Fairy Tail levels of chronic comphet which compels him as if by satan to leave no character unpaired (lol) with their obviously comphet m/f dynamic which has. some genuinely disastrous and series ruining consequences that he doesn't realize in the moment and has to fix like 50/100+ chapters later

this is also ironic considering the most compelling relationship in the series outside of the main character duo is the one between two originally androgynous non binary individuals, as well as having a fully healthy polyamorous marriage

still stuck on louis staying with armand after the trial to get back at lestat. this is louis 101 and I’m COMPELLED. he punishes lestat by withholding his affection and giving it to someone else like he always did when he wanted him to suffer. he KNOWS lestat loves him endlessly and has deep insecurities about not being loved, he knows he is lestat’s weakness and he uses it to punish him for his role in the trial. and lestat knows armand’s true role in the trial and still he lets it happen, he lets louis be with armand, something that ultimately entraps louis in a metaphorical (and literal) prison for 70+ year. and it’s so good because NO ONE has the ability to hurt us like the people we love most. and that’s why I think the discussion about who deserved what that’s been going on is ultimately pointless. it doesn’t really matter in this case if lestat deserved louis’ cruelty or if lestat should have told louis the truth immediately, because the point is that they’re only capable of inflicting such deep wounds to each other because they are incapable of letting go of each other. their obsessive love tangled up with hate and resentment and lust and memories both fond and painful and the daughter they shared and whom they both failed, the blood that binds them, the century of carrying each other always, their synced-up heartbeats, the fact that lestat is the only person left alive who knew louis as a human. there’s too much history, too much intensity, too much emotion for them to be anything but what they are, a black hole that swallows everything around them, a hurricane they’ve both been swept up in, an endless loop of toxic obsession and infinite devotion that is both draining and addictive. and that’s why it’s the tragic gothic romance to end all others.
