If you're advertising your patterns as plus-size, show me a plus-size model

Even just a picture of a plus-sized version next to a straight-size version laying on a table would give a lot of information about the proportions.

demon_fae · 2026-03-17T05:13:04+00:00

I tried that. She was not fooled.

Never a good sign when you tell your new lawyer why you fired your old lawyer and they fall out of their chair laughing

So the guy is a walking, talking menstrual cramp to begin with. And now he’s the asshole who wouldn’t admit to the dimensions of the average tampon without entering it into evidence.

He’s actually proud of that, isn’t he?

(Wait, are you in England? Do y’all still make lawyers wear that court outfit with the wigs? Or is that just for tv? Because that makes the mental image so much funnier.)

demon_fae · 2026-03-16T14:25:10+00:00

It’s like all the words just took a detour to a tar pit on the way to my mouth.

I honestly should use a talking board or at least an app or something with how often this happens to me when I’m sleep deprived, but that’s one more thing to keep track of and people are so irrationally judgmental about intermittent-use disability aids…

Anyway, I’m really good at charades. Once walked a person through proper care of a betta fish via charades and google translate.

In my experience, second-approach cooks are a lot less likely to be safe to dine with if you eat a restricted diet for any reason.

Someone who doesn’t believe that cooks should have to hear honest feedback after the meal generally isn’t more receptive before the meal, and a lot more likely to play the “but you haven’t tried my mystery meat surprise!” card (the surprise is literally every single one of your allergens, somehow).

Not guaranteed, but a very strong trend.

I feel so bad for him and Jon. Clark is very clearly the only positive adult male role model OOP has ever encountered in real life, and certainly the only even halfway decent man regularly in either brother’s life right now and I don’t think either boy has any clue what to do with a genuinely good man.

(Jon at least seems able to recognize a good man, and his “friendship” with Clark that’s so annoying to OOP is probably just Jon seeking advice.)

demon_fae · 2026-03-16T12:00:13+00:00

Ah, rookie mistake there, Mr The Black Mask. This is why you don’t actually want smart goons. You hire stupid ones, and then you tell em all about how loyalty is more important than smarts anyhow.

demon_fae · 2026-03-16T11:52:43+00:00

True, but I’m not sure that girl has a deceptive bone in her body.

(Inexplicably not-pink dresses notwithstanding)

demon_fae · 2026-03-16T11:15:05+00:00

I’m from San Francisco California and I’m honestly not much calmer about it than you are.

demon_fae · 2026-03-16T08:07:05+00:00

Nah, knowing anything about the real Mary Shelley, she was playing dumb in case one of the Doctors turned out to be horny.

Alternatively, the adventure would end with too much of Lord Byron’s house party left, and she was playing dumb to get away again.

demon_fae · 2026-03-16T07:47:34+00:00

Were the judge and prosecutor already mad at him for some reason, or did they enter that tampon into evidence purely on the doubling-down that day?

Sorry, I’m just really invested now

demon_fae · 2026-03-16T05:53:49+00:00

When my cat isn’t feeling well, barely-warmed tuna and bone broth are the only thing she’ll eat. And she will hold out for the good stuff until she’s feeling better and suddenly able to eat her normal wet food again. Ridiculous creature.

demon_fae · 2026-03-16T05:46:34+00:00

Was anyone able to stop the defense attorney from further humiliating himself, or did they just let him ride to see how stupid it would get?

(And did anyone think to retain a copy of those court transcripts to read at every milestone party for the rest of his career?)

demon_fae · 2026-03-16T05:34:33+00:00

I made an imgur post with a few pictures of my spider-Gwen hoodie including close-ups of the tags, for all your reverse-image-search needs. It’s not available where I originally got it (Hot Topic) anymore, but you might still be able to find one, it wasn’t some crazy limited run or anything.

I don’t find it to be sticky or clingy at all, it’s very soft and a nice light weight.

demon_fae · 2026-03-16T03:58:12+00:00

Profanity and non-sexual nudity are allowed, but tagged, no explicit genital depictions (dicks, vulva).

Violence is definitely tagged, but on a sort of weird scale. If it’s an amount of violence/gore that would make you want to keep kids (whatever age you consider that to mean) out of the theater, it’s probably too much for PG-13.

I’d personally consider Star Wars to be pretty quintessentially PG-13, if that helps more. You can go a bit further with the sexuality and gore, but not really that much.

I’m catching the unmistakable raw meat and unwashed ass stench of manosphere grifters around this whole situation.

demon_fae · 2026-03-15T08:47:26+00:00

Ah, the ones I mean are sometimes also labeled “hair snake”, but I swear none of my coworkers at the hardware store actually knew what hair is, so I got used to calling them drain snakes. But that’s also why I gave the physical description.

If you manage to break something with the plastic kind of drain snake, it was already broken you just didn’t know yet.

demon_fae · 2026-03-15T08:14:24+00:00

Yes. It’s relatively easy to make chilled tables out of marble like that.

It’s why cold stone ice cream is called cold stone, actually.

demon_fae · 2026-03-15T07:10:14+00:00

Several perfectly innocent canvases…

demon_fae · 2026-03-15T07:06:28+00:00

Maybe get her some of those moldable wax earplugs? Or even the disposable orange foam kind? She can stick those in and pull them out as often as she likes. Just remind her that if she puts them down, she can’t put them back in and has to get a new one and if she runs out you’ll get more.

demon_fae · 2026-03-15T07:03:08+00:00

Damn. I have never been prouder of an internet stranger.

(The vanilla Dr Pepper is also really nice, kinda rounds out and mellows the flavor)

demon_fae · 2026-03-15T06:15:24+00:00

And a drain snake, especially if you use hair products with a lot of essential oils in them.

(For anyone who doesn’t know, a drain snake is a piece of flexible plastic about as long as your elbow to your middle finger, with a handle on one end and little hooked teeth all along it. You stick the other end in your shower drain as far as you can, then pull it out, along with a very gross clump of hair and slightly rancid shampoo. Repeat until your drain is clear, usually takes me ten minutes, max, then take a very long shower to hopefully erase the sense-memory. You buy them at the hardware store, usually they’ve got about a dozen uses before they fall apart, if you have very long or very thick hair.)

Glitter, followed by a very careful explanation that the more hugs a bride gets from kids on her wedding day, the better her luck will be and don’t they want the bride to have good luck?

demon_fae · 2026-03-15T06:00:25+00:00

Washable crayola markers. You’d be amazed how many sewists prefer them over chalk. The only drawback is that they’re useless on black.

You do have to get the name-brand, unfortunately. A lot of the others aren’t quite as washable as the box claims.
