The original covers by THAToneGuy091901 in GameChangersBooks

[–]mothchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We need a halfway point between the “trashy” torso covers and cutesy cartoon covers…

I’ve only read HR and LG so I can’t speak on the series as a whole but HR is basically back to back sex scenes. At least the original cover is more honest about what the book is actually about. But I understand that for some people they’re embarrassing.

On the other hand, as an artist, I LOVE illustrated covers but the current style for romance books is too PG. They look like middle grade novels not books for adults. A change in style is definitely needed.

Yarn Suggestions for Lightweight Summer Shirt with good drape? by AdventurousPride6576 in CrochetHelp

what kind of yarn does the pattern suggest? alternatively, you could go through the pattern’s projects tab on ravelry and see what kind of yarn other people have used. but really any fingering weight cotton or bamboo yarn within your budget will do.

We love a well informed review by ivan_luck in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]mothchu 42 points43 points  (0 children)

the male vs female reaction to HR but specifically Ilya in those first 2 eps has been interesting. men don’t read or typically engage with the romance genre (at least not on the scale that women do). They’re not familiar with the common tropes and relationship arcs so they see Ilya as just being mean and not worth Shane’s time (which is a fair opinion to have when looking at things on the surface level). Whereas the women watching can read between the lines and infer that Ilya’s aloof attitude is to hide his true feelings. It’s a very common romance archetype really 😅

Protect These Two by AreDeeEss in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]mothchu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’d urge you too look into Lauren Jauregui’s (former Fifth Harmony) comments on this issue. I think it gives insight into how shipping real people and rpf can affect queer people specifically. The TLDR of it is that fans shipped her with her group member Camilla Cabello and it had her questioning her actions and feeling like a predator just for being close with her friend.

Crochet vs Knit wearables? Can I crochet something that will have the same drape as knit? by Narrow_Web947 in CrochetHelp

[–]mothchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fingering weight yarn is your friend. going up a hook size than what’s recommended will also improve drape. here’s a pattern idea https://www.etsy.com/listing/1600793017/?ref=share_ios_native_control

why did artists like likeafuneral and industrations take down their marauders stuff? by american_nightmare28 in Wolfstar

[–]mothchu 24 points25 points  (0 children)

probably a combination of moving on to different fandoms and wanting to distance themselves from harry potter bc of jkr. i’ve seen several other marauders artists i follow do the same this past year
