At a school where I used to be, our art department was commissioned to design a school emblem. It was chosen, painted all over, embossed on all our stationery.
You got it. One of the words was misspelled. I won no friends when I pointed it out.
None of us are good at seeing mistakes in our work. That’s why we need our wonderful betas.

Everyone is in such a hurry at the end of the year – testing is barely finished when awards ceremonies start and teachers are crazy and miss some of the most important stuff. Did they just die when it was pointed out?’
I don’t know, but I suspect the ribbons were probably purchased a while ago by the PTA, so it’s definitely not on the teachers…either parent volunteers or the administrators. Still funny though.

LOL yeah his plane outfits are spectacularly hideous and I love him immensely for every one of them! XD
Same! That’s why I enjoy highlighting them in the fic. It’s fun to have Zach tease him and have him just shrug and say “cozy”.

He seems pretty confident to just wear/be/do whatever feels right. He collects blankets? He likes to be comfy. They’re “comfies”.
yes, that’s how he thinks of them, but that doesn’t help the reader envision them either. I’m just going to stick with harem pants. He doesn’t have to be PC in his own head.

Clown pants.
Man, I missed a bunch of these as they came in… that is also nicely descriptive, but something Zach would probably call them and not how he would refer to them in his own mind.

lounge pants?
Hmmm. To me, lounge pants are more like pajama bottoms. But maybe that would be better. Certainly less problematic…
Atrocities?
Well, yeah. But I need something that would actually let the reader envision those specific pants. ‘Atrocities’ could be used for so many of his airplane outfits…
I’m trying to work up the energy myself…
Sprint? And like, dare each other’s muses or something?

I’m just picturing Chris beating up the golf course with his club and his dad taking a video for Zach because he’s not normally violent
I’m sSO putting that in the epilogue.
