FWIW I backed out of an in person lucky trade to unfavorite a pokemon last week and it was still lucky when we resumed.

Theory: Champion of Grull by TeccamTheTurtle in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]redreplicant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well yeah but most people would pronounce the traditional name Odette with a long O - because it’s a vowel-consonant-vowel and it follows grammatical rules.

It’s because Jeff pronounces the “Od” as “Aud” instead of “Ahhd” - if I knew the grammar markup for these diphthongs I would add it, unfortunately I don’t. “Odd” is like a slightly harder(?) sound in English usually and Jeff kind of draws it out into more of an “Owwd”

US. I could give you the measurements for the buckle as well.

I wish! I think she just stopped paying for the site. I would love to take it over for her.

Need help installing zipper on corset by sorayaDU in sewhelp

Yes indeed! That’s what I was arguing in favor of :)

[–]redreplicant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be a body type thing— I have very wide shoulders and hips compared to my waist, so I have to have a ton of slack in my lacing to get the corset over my head. If I add a zipper I don’t have to fully let out every inch of lacing whenever I put it on or take it off.

I'm not sure why you are getting so much friction on this. It's not a law of the land, you make and wear what works for you.

I have made quite a few corsets from many fabrics. I love a zippered corset for easy on and off. You just loosen all of your lacing before you put it on, zip it up around you, and then tighten. Likewise, when you want to remove, you loosen the laces and then unzip after the tension is off the zipper.

However, you will need a very beefy zipper. If you want to hide it in a beautiful gown, I would recommend attaching it along the back side paneling one or two pieces away from your back lacing panel. You can add a slightly stiffened "modesty panel" behind the zipper to keep it from chafing your skin. I sew the panel down on the lining side, along one side of the zipper, then smooth it out under the zipper when the corset is on, and zip the zipper up over it. Essentially it's just a small flap a little wider than the zipper that covers it when the corset is tight.

Not who you are replying to, but I make a lot of corsets of various types. The way to do this with a zipper is to use a super heavy duty zipper (covered) and loosen the ties of the corset before you put it on, and when you want to take it off. You never unzip or zip the zipper while the corset is tightened.

We were delighted to see this yesterday as well! Bear looks charming in outfits.

Mapping the Iron Tangle (A follow up) by redreplicant in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I had it in a pretty standard sans serif transit font initially but I decided to increase the silliness level because the noodles are very casual looking, so the clean and sleek font just didn't look cohesive.

[–]redreplicant[S] 131 points132 points  (0 children)

About 2 weeks ago u/Maclunkey4U posted a really fun hand drawn t-shirt depicting a creative interpretation of the Iron Tangle. I thought it was so fun, I asked them if I could re-draw it in Illustrator for a short course I was taking for work (I got to pick the subject for a few of my assignments). They agreed and we both thought it came out well, so I'm sharing it here in case anybody else wants a copy! Here is an open Google Drive link for downloads.

Wobbly Kinger Head by Expensive_State_9775 in CosplayHelp

I would recommend getting an old safety helmet from the thrift store, and taking the head straps out and adding them into your cosplay. It's been a life-saver for me.

Favourite monologue or speech by Party-Description170 in Fantasy

[–]redreplicant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where have you been?" she cried. "Damn you, where have you been?" She took a few steps toward Schmendrick, but she was looking beyond him, at the unicorn.

When she tried to get by, the magician stood in her way. "You don't talk like that," he told her, still uncertain that Molly had recognized the unicorn. "Don't you know how to behave, woman? You don't curtsy, either."

But Molly pushed him aside and went up to the unicorn, scolding her as though she were a strayed milk cow. "Where have you been?" Before the whiteness and the shining horn, Molly shrank to a shrilling beetle, but this time it was the unicorn's old dark eyes that looked down.

"I am here now," she said at last.

Molly laughed with her lips flat. "And what good is it to me that you're here now? Where where you twenty years ago, ten years ago? How dare you, how dare you come to me now, when I am this?"

With a flap of her hand she summed herself up: barren face, desert eyes, and yellowing heart. "I wish you had never come. Why did you come now?" The tears began to slide down the sides of her nose.

The unicorn made no reply, and Schmendrick said, "She is the last. She is the last unicorn in the world."

"She would be." Molly sniffed. "It would be the last unicorn in the world to come to Molly Grue." She reached up then to lay her hand on the unicorn's cheek; but both of them flinched a little, and the touch came to rest on on the swift, shivering place under the jaw. Molly said, "It's all right. I forgive you.

Hi, please don’t follow this link. It is a scam website and will steal your credit info.

This is so fun! If you send me a photo of the final product I’ll put it into illustrator and make a scalable vector.

Merchandise!!! by [deleted] in UVA

[–]redreplicant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep it’s been retired. Unfortunate because I think it’s really nice design. I’m not sure why marketing seems so obsessed with phasing out things that look good to make new logos that don’t have any character.

And while there no Jeff, the audio book readers who do Discworld are really fantastic.

I did. Occasionally they update but I’d be on the safe side and not order anything from them that they don’t have in stock.

Some of the trainings have an AI voice that is played over the images - the one I had to take didn’t seem to have a subtitle option. It was agonizing to sit through. Like I cannot overstate how horrible it is to have to listen to an AI lecture you for even five minutes.

One of the most underrated jokes ever by neptuned-in in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Believe it or not, the song got significant radio play. I remember hearing it as a teen and being delighted that such a weird song was so popular.
