Roy Mustang really spends the whole series fancying himself being in some sort of Usurper Rivalship with Bradley only for Bradley's interactions with Mustang to be, "Okay Mustang sit in that office chair while I evil-monologue at you. Do it again. Okay now go away I have to go fight tanks with my swords and then get slaughtered by a holy man of the people I genocided, which will leave my dictator chair wide open."

And then Mustang doesn't even get the dictator chair.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS EVER

Moss and clover, Skottvång Sweden.

It's not clover it's ... wood sorrel. It tastes like blueberries and has cute white flowers early, just before the summer starts.

The clover emojis ☘️ 🍀 actually depict wood sorrel - note the heart shaped leaves!

Oh, this is remarkably of its era. I was just viscerally launched back to the specific amalgamation of meme printouts my roommate and I decorated our bulletin boards with senior year of college.

SO YOU WANT TO CROCHET THE FOX CARDIGAN

You know the one:

This post brought to you by @hollowedskin, who tagged me and said "Gayle might end up doing it."

Which, yes, it is on my list, but also, not right this second. However, I do love a bit of research, so here is what I found.

First of all, this sweater was made from this Mary Maxim pattern:

Which I was about 99% sure of when it popped up on ravelry, but then I found this youtuber who confirmed it:

I have not watched the whole video, and I don't think I've ever seen Michelle pop up on my recommendations, but looking at that thumbnail, her work looks fantastic. I'm gonna go watch the whole thing now and will report back if I am iffy. I doubt I will be.

NOTE: When she made the video, you could only get the pattern as part of a kit. This is no longer true. The link above is ONLY the pattern.

EDIT: Oh, wait, the eyes are different! So, the "official" version of the knitting pattern IS only available in a kit, but if you can tapestry, I think you can easily just adjust the eyes to be more open like they are in that version. But it is still 100% based very much on the wolf pattern.

If you don't want to watch a 40-minute video, buy the pattern and follow the gauge and the charts. I recommend single crochet because the original is done in stockinette but also because tapestry crochet (which is how you do this) looks cleanest in single crochet.

Okay, I had to stop watching the video. She is great. She's having a ball. But she is also not working with the pattern the way I would work with the pattern, and it is making me twitchy.

When I say "use the charts to make the sweater" I mean to use them both for the fox design but also for the shaping. If you make it to the pattern, then you should be working the same number of stitches, so if the pattern says to "bind off" three to decrease for an armhole, just work slip stitches like you would when making an armhole for a crochet pattern.

Again, I cannot stress enough I have zero issue with her making adjustments to fit her style, but I would be duping this to as exact a copy as a could, so watching her decide she wants it very square when there's sleeve shaping and a shawl collar makes me feral.

I should do a knit-to-crochet video when I'm back to filming and take one of the several knit sweater patterns I have and show how I do my adjustments to crochet. That would be very helpful for people, I think.

hearing anything about the nolan odyssey is so funny. it's like "they cut the extremely important and infamous nobody scene" "the cyclops is a giant puppet that they put in an actual historical cave + gave circe animatronics for her pig transformation instead of cgi" "they dumped plastic skeletons in an environmentally protected location they were not supposed to be in" "they recreated ancient greek instruments in order to have an accurate score" "all of odysseus's agency is basically gone" "anne hathaway actually learned how to weave ancient looms" "the women in this movie are treated like shit" "they actually buried actors alive to get those underworld shots" "did you see what the fuck zendaya was fucking wearing holy shit you can't DO THAT, MA'AM" "what do you mean there was a legitimate epic the musical reference" "NOT A SINGLE FUCKING GREEK WAS CAST IN THIS MOVIE"

like did nolan have two guys standing at his side at all times whispering ideas in his ear and one told the truth and the other told lies and they didnt tell him which was which until they wrapped production cause

whencartoonsruletheworld

ohhh my god I just fact-checked, Nolan actually DID cut the "Nobody" scene from his Odyssey movie. Mfer that is like cutting the Father reveal from Star Wars. Let me speak in a language you understand this is like not dressing Batman up in his suit. "It was not possible to work it in" the TikTok musical with a budget of $4 and a scratched Hamilton CD managed to work it in in SONG form, step up your FUCKING GAME

Yeah I saw the lovecraftian horrors and didn’t succumb to madness. What- no I’m not a cultist, James. For Christ’s sake. What you’re forgetting my friend is that HP Lovecraft wasn’t a flexible man. His brain simply wasn’t stretchy enough to take it all in. I however, have short term memory issues. Flexibility is the name of the game when you can’t remember if you ate lunch or not. What’s the size of the universe? Big. You knew that already, James. Come on now. You don’t need to witness the terrifying ocean at the base of the entirety of reality itself to know that. Pass the brandy.

You must imagine the character I’ve created here wearing a suit and a monocle, by the way.

thesilvertophat

During a Eldritch Horrors based tabletop RPG my character was a young dandy who wasn't particularly interested in all this monster mystery stuff but his father (my brother's character) was a researcher who WAS very into it, so Bertie went along to make sure the old man didn't get into too much trouble. It was your average Eldritch Horrors RPG in that you don't make your characters with the expectation that they will survive for very long, both the game itself and the genre are very intent on turning your characters inside out, driving them insane, and blowing them up in no particular order.

The thing was, everything in this nightmare hellscape just seemed to keep coming up Bertie because the man was too stupid to realize what genre he was in. Every time he had to roll for a sanity check whenever he saw something crazy, the dice treated him so well that he just... didn't get it. Gee that sure is a funny costume. There's something wrong with that dog. These mean guys in stupid hats are trying to hurt that young lady, we can't have that! I had not built him this way, his intelligence stats weren't even that bad, random chance just made it so that this man was living a scooby doo adventure while everyone else was being consumed by The Horrors. The final straw was at the end of an adventure when Bertie escaped from the cultist headquarters by breaking out through the mansion's front window on a motorcycle with a hot rescued sacrificial maiden clinging to his back and leading the cultists on a merry chase through the hedge maze while the other adventurers escaped. His sanity score? HIGHER than when the adventure had begun. He had found the whole experience quite thrilling and felt very good about life in general! Bertie retired from adventuring to marry the maiden he rescued and care for his aging father and delight and bemuse his friends at the gentleman's club with stories of his 'wacky' adventures. I didn't want to risk breaking his ridiculous lucky streak.
