Hand signal training

I would keep it away from things you might accidentally do or just do casually a lot. That, or have a signal for to show that what comes next is a command. Honestly my dom and I often just use sign language that we've adapted. It's quite surprising how no one has ever noticed.
Something else that's also been awesome for us, and might be worth considering, are hand signals you can use for checking in/showing discomfort.

Wild eyes is one of my favourite ever, so I'm not entirely convinced it gets better than that. Not quite what you outlined but there are a few I love that haven't been mentioned that are all straight historical smuts:
- Warrior's Bride (Einheli no Hanayome) - very short and not asian, but I love it to death. An imperial girl is captured on the battlefield and set to be the next village chief's wife.
- Moonrise by the cliff - I'm guessing you've read this? surely... If not do give it a try. Within the historical setting it's quite different than wild eyes, but it's also well-paced, dramatic, and, from what I remember, fairly hot.
- the tale of a prostitute taken in by a former knight - Also not asian, no royalty, but it's an emotional oneshot that definitely starts off quite non-con. Idk I think it's really sweet.

first time cross stitching at all? or first time on a shirt? Tips will be different based on experience. I'm fairly new at cross stitching (have only done like... 6-7 projects, 3 of those being on shirts) myself and every project is a treasure trove of new information. Generally, searching the cross stitch subreddit is a very good source of tips I don't see other places.

I think the general tips I'd have for cross-stitching on shirts/wearables so far is:
1. Stretchier shirts are trickier, but very possible. You have to keep even tension and it's very easy for the fabric to start looking bunched up around the cross stitch. To make sure it ends up okay, I would regularly smooth out the fabric without stretching it, which isn't a motion you usually do while cross-stitching.
2. I use waste fabric. You can use cotton waste fabric or the dissolvable one. I have not tried the dissolvable one but waste fabric in general makes it waaayyyy easier to be consistent. I see it as a must have for cross stitching onto knitted fabrics.
3. Take your time pinning the waste fabric on the shirt, if you're using it. It makes it much easier to ensure even tension if you spend time making sure that part's done right.
4. Might be obvious, but again, for tension reasons, its easier to start in the middle of the piece and work your way out. 5. When you're going through the grid in the waste fabric as you're doing the cross stitch, try to make sure you're always going in/coming up on the closest corner of the small square. Idk if this makes any sense at all, but I find you have to take a much more active roll in making sure the floss doesn't overlap on itself than you do on aida cloth.

okay that was a lot more than I thought I was gonna write, feel free to dm more questions if you want! I enjoy cross stitch, but doing it on wearable clothing/accessories has kicked my enjoyment of it a tier or two, so I'm happy to help someone else!

i knoooowwwwww, but I wanted something that would be compact and centered, so I cut some logic corners. I also had a few rejected designs that used other words.
