What did you do after getting snowed in Hapo? Oh you know decided to draw my favourite game ever in crayon for some reason.
Always do stuff for your younger self.

Crayon as a word is not trustworthy. Let me explain.
These are crayons. Right? No one's contesting that. However...
THESE are not called crayons, they're called wax pastels. Even though they behave like and resemble crayons. (I believe 'wax pastel' simply sounds more like a quality art supply than just 'crayon' which is probably why it is this way.)
And it gets worse:
These sticks are called crayons! Sometimes. They're conté crayons, or just conté, and they behave more like compressed chalk than they do a crayon. It's pigment + clay pressed into a stick.
We can blame this on the French, because the French word crayon means pencil. And art supplies are full of French words. Things get confusing.
But not more confusing than this:
These are colored pencils, right? But in French they're called crayon de couleur and some Canadians call them pencil crayons. Then there's these jerks muddying the water even more
So, yeah, the word "crayon" is... A little all over the place in the art supply world

people in the notes of that "I don't have a serger" post are going off on tailor's chalk for some reason? as if that's also something that's hugely expensive and insane to assume everyone has?
like. okay. you don't HAVE to use tailor's chalk, but you should at least use something you know won't bleed or otherwise mess up the material. in this case, it does make more sense to do the extra research and maybe buy something new if what you have to hand isn't ideal. ruining your fabric will cost you more time and money in the long run
much as we all hate Am*zon, you can get a 10-piece box of tailor's chalk on there for like $6 USD if you're really cash-strapped and want to sew. that's not the only safe marking material, of course, but it is a tried-and-true option you don't have to research the fabric safety of.
trust me- it's worth it in this case
