Stash!!!!!

I found these in my stash (looking for something else ofc) and immediately wanted to do a Luminous Nine Patch.

Now, now listen.

I know I seem to be making a few of these.

But they turn out gorgeous! How could I not make them?? They’re so easy and fun to do.

The best Cinderella stories/retellings are the ones where one of the stepsisters is KIND.

The kind stepsister is her own flavor of "Cinderella" since she has the courage and integrity to stay true to her kind heart, even if it means getting ridiculed and dismissed by her mother and sister.

It also gives testimony that just because you were raised by a terrible parent, doesn't mean that you are doomed to be just like them.

lvl 1: the plural of octopus is octopuses because the plural version of a word is the word with an s at the end

lvl 2: the plural version of octopus is octopi because if a word ends with "us" the plural version replaces the "us" with "i" e.g. cactus -> cacti and fungus -> fungi

lvl 3: actually, that rule is only for latin words. octopus is a greek word and the correct plural is octopuses or octopodes

lvl 4: actually, language is descriptive not prescriptive. since enough people over time have used octopi as the plural for octopus, it's a valid plural

lvl 5: the plural of octopus is octopeese, like geese
