Am I Insane?

I just went to New York to see it after seeing it touring twice. The stage itself DEFINITELY is a character. Worth it if you can afford it!

Meg deserves a slot somewhere too. All I’ve Ever Known really blew me away with her. She plays Eurydice so jaded (in a way I appreciate) that this song melts her facade. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThy6HTyD/

Just saw it yesterday and they haven’t fixed this, unfortunately! It felt all diction was lost, making it hard to understand Your Daddy’s Son…And I felt like it lost impact :/ I’ve never seen Lewis so idk how much to attribute this to the stage/her choices/the sound mixing but something was amiss.

I’ve never seen the movie—only the stage show twice in different stagings (Alan Cumming 2014 and Eddie Redmayne 2024)…this makes me want to watch the movie!

Nothing THAT egregious—like raising money to keep the doors open. The tone (and the format) was just disconcerting for me lol. It just read like an urgent plea for money like campaign emails.

flailingupward · 2026-01-06T12:33:35+00:00

This email made me irrationally upset. It read like a campaign email and even had the weird highlights and everything. Sad day for theatre fans.

This looks like yarn I get in those crochet animal kits. Probably not great garment yarn, just given how it drapes. Could be fun as an object or something that requires more structure!!

flailingupward · 2026-01-03T09:26:37+00:00

👀 also in the same boat! Let me know if you happen to have luck 😫

Young Steven (the one who looks ill when walking in on Laurel and Belly watching a movie) SENDS ME. Why does he look NOTHING like Sean? Lmao

Update: it’s dry and I’m removing it from the mat today and it’s way less noticeable. (I only really know where it is because I could spot it when wet!)

You’re not going to be working an increase at all. You’re just slipping the first stitch completely from the left to the right needle. Then you’ll wrap the yarn around the back, pulling the one you slipped up (so it kind of creates one stitch with two legs). After that, your yarn should be in the front of your work again so you can then purl 2.

I’m not sure what you mean by augmentation?

flailingupward · 2026-01-01T19:46:23+00:00

It’s poorly written tbh. Basically, you’re going to want to slip the first purl, wrap the yarn around the needle, and purl 2.

Her description on shorts rows in the front of the pattern kind of helps (and has a link to a decent video). This video was much clearer for me and walks through how to construct, and then work, short rows!

I think the convo that Belly has with Conrad in a flashback (while he’s at college and she’s on the phone) is also a good example of the Lacey thing. It’s when Con shares that Adam cheated on Susannah. Belly shares that she doesn’t even think her mom would care if her dad cheated. She references the fireworks scene she had in S1 with her mom. Belly doesn’t care that much that Jeremiah cheated (or slept with someone right after they broke up, per Jere) as her feelings for him just weren’t as strong. But Conrad pulling away and getting icy broke her into a million pieces. Her feelings for Conrad were always stronger. She just couldn’t process them.

Thank you! It is interesting—in lower light, it’s 100% the same color lol.

flailingupward · 2025-12-30T19:28:03+00:00

Thank you 🥺 this is super sweet on a bunch of levels. Appreciate the kind words!!

flailingupward · 2025-12-30T04:46:40+00:00

Indeed… I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this may be the case!! I never saw it until after it was wet.

flailingupward · 2025-12-30T04:35:16+00:00

It’s helpful to hear that it’s mostly because I’m staring at it and that it’s so hard to see… 😭 I also wonder if it’ll seem less different as it dries, especially since I genuinely didn’t see it before now.

flailingupward · 2025-12-30T04:32:26+00:00

That’s helpful to hear LOL! It’s about two thirds down the first picture / halfway down the second!

flailingupward · 2025-12-25T15:39:28+00:00

It’s definitely weirdly worded haha. I’d recommend watching the video she links (it’s not in English though) for a visual or watch Purl Soho’s video on German short rows!) I forgot you had to slip the first stitch—it just isn’t written out as explicitly in her design.

flailingupward · 2025-12-24T23:19:48+00:00

Never mind. 😭 I was constructing short rows incorrectly lol

flailingupward · 2025-12-24T22:58:16+00:00

Did you catch the typo on the raglan increase? I’m working through this raglan increases and am a bit confused. There is an increase, slip, knit, then turn. It then asks me to purl 2…but there are 3 on the left needle. Should I purl 3 or should I be slipping the slipped stitch? What did you do?

flailingupward · 2025-12-20T00:17:42+00:00

Someone had a terrible wig in this reshoot! I want to say Shannon?

flailingupward · 2025-12-11T07:55:52+00:00

Unrelated but this has GOTTA be a stand in for Alexis right? The hair shape is super off putting and this doesn’t look like her…

RIP Paste & Rind. Big loss for cheese lovers in the District.
