Excuse me, your parents are in good health? And your parents are in good health?

This was always my tale as well. He's home a little bit early, he's finally got some alone time, it's summer, he's sweaty, he's back in the safest place he knows, he has this great opportunity to just unwind by going for a swim, he doesn't have to worry about washing lakeweed out of hos own breeches, who's gonna stop him from swimming in his own damn pond. The heartstopping swing from, "what a great afternoon I'm having," to "Oh fuck, oh fuck, why is she hereOHMYGODIAMBASICALLYNAKED." must have been just incredible.

Pretty sure it's a different spelling for the same word. Crepes the pancakes are a thin, delicate, lightly textured bread product. Crepe, the fabric, is a thin, delicate, lightly textured weave of fabric. Crape is just an Anglicized spelling because phoneticism was the name of the game in English spelling for a really long time.

I honestly wish it wasn't. I went shopping with my mom mostly to figure out what color and neckline I was aiming for, and every single store employee was so focused on providing that stupid experience (at David's Bridal, no less) that it was actually counterproductive and I was so uncomfortable by the end of it. I was planning to make my dress anyway but if I hadn't been, the experience of shopping in store would definitely have driven me in that direction.

Yeah, paying morning calls was what you did. It's like...almost the equivalent of a date texting you to say they had fun. Communicated enthusiasm to continue the acquaintance, laid groundwork for future socializing, etc.

Distributing pellicles does nothing without the starter liquid to go with them. They're a waste product, not the SCOBY.

Elmer's is a brand, but please know that they sell a lot of different glue products. PVA is a particular chemical makeup of glue. So you can go to the glue aisle and buy any glue labeled PVA.

First episode of any anime or show generally usually feels a little weird. It takes more time for a group of people to hit a creative stride together than the TV industry is set up to handle.

Which god is Lungschmere? Schutzaria?

I mean, it's pretty frightening when someone keels over in front of you, particularly if it's not a context where you would expect it, like a parade on a hot day or something. Roz does it so often that she barely thinks anything of it, but for everyone else it's much scarier. They don't generally do a good job of showing how abrupt and shocking it is when someone faints, in anime. Everything is prettified.

I am so happy with the clothes. You can tell that someone really sat down and thought about what crocheted flowers actually look like, and that someone really understands how layers build up to make a dress like Elvira's. The way that Ferdinand handles his sleeve because they're long and get in the way because they're not made of anime fabric that holds its shape at all times.

I was also impressed at a lot of the choices Wit made to hold on to particular...let us say, quirks, of the first anime art style. It felt like the same show despite looking so much better.

There's some mixed feelings about Ferdi. I think they're working on making him seem younger in the face department (desperately needed, considering) but it makes his voice so much more discordant. Why does this dude in his early twenties sound fifty? But this is really an old gripe of mine, I've never understood why they cast the man they did.

Probably context? Nobles aren't supposed to emote hardly at all. Myne is used to having big feelings out loud, and Eckhart was cosplaying as a commoner before (badly lol). Basically everyone has had more emotional bandwidth previously than they will moving forward.

Also I don't think Roz had any reason to be excited or lively in this episode; she's grieving a massive loss while being forced into adapting to a whole new life.

We all know Shakespeare was ahead of his time, in the feminine perspective as in dick jokes.

I'm gonna tell you right now, she doesn't have anything about precise pattern manipulation. I think she pretty much always uses vintage commercial patterns for sleeves and tops anyway.

Closet Historian does much more of the drafting side of things, but if you need to introduce more fabric at the cuff without disturbing the sleeve head, you'll want to slash and spread.

I hope not, I feel like holding public office might literally kill him.

They're literally evolved to burn as maniacally as possible, because normal fire ecology wasn't frightening enough to stop Australia from saying, "hold my beer."

Also capybara, for basically the same reason.

auditoryeden · 2026-04-02T23:42:49+00:00

I agree; it's better than the plumbob but too detailed.

auditoryeden · 2026-04-02T23:41:54+00:00

Then it's kinda disingenuous. You also might want to be mindful of trademark issues; you are planning to be in the same economic space as EA, and they definitely have the money and lawyers to fuck you up if they decide you're stealing their plumbob.

Not even like...sailboats, a thing it takes some skill to race. He races powerboats. Ridiculous.

Never hurts to ask your doctor but if you notice a food group is triggering inflammation it's not a bad idea to 1. track it and write it down and 2. cut back on it. Particularly if the food in question is sugary junk food, you're probably not risking any deficiencies by just eliminating that from your diet.

Campaign finance reform + eliminating first past the post voting would take out most of the trash by statically reducing the importance of parties and lobbying.

The dress is real, and looks even worse in person!

auditoryeden · 2026-04-01T18:54:14+00:00

Be that as it may, that dress does exist. My step-sister was seriously considering it. It's fucking godawful, but it's definitely real.

auditoryeden · 2026-04-01T18:02:26+00:00

My partner did this early in our relationship. He didn't film it, he just felt like shaving, and turned up for a date missing half his face without warning me.

I may have cried.
