I Like Shy Guys with Big Dicks: Subversive, sexy, game sprite parody pattern for video game fans

When describing your ideal adult media to a new partner, it's important to be careful about capitalization. Otherwise, they might think you're into some really niche stuff and wind up on some sort of government watch list while trying to get you a present. For instance, if you're trying to tell your partner that you like "shy guys with big dicks," you want to make sure you don't capitalize those first two words, since that would result in some confusion and possibly a violation of Nintendo's trademark.

Inspired by just such a miscommunication, this cross stitch pattern is a parody of a popular video game character you may recognize. Though he comes a little better armed than you're probably accustomed to seeing.

Take a close look at those flowers, too. Eat your heart out, Georgia O'Keeffe.

Special thanks to Celia for the sample stitch, which is shown on 14ct aida in a 10" hoop.
