there are some things a character should not be able to tell us about themselves EVEN with a gun to their head. depending on the character that could even expand to include "most" things

[princesssarcastia]

i'm talking "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink" territory. "i've constructed an elaborate rube goldberg machine of plot to force this character to have precisely the realization about themselves that i want them to, and i'm only maybe 60% sure it'll work" territory. "the deity of their choice reveals it to them in a dream and they wake up and say, 'no, that can't be right,' and promptly forget about it" territory.

TWO FREE PATTERNS!

For those who don't know, I'm doing my PhD dissertation on 19th-century plus-size fashion, and as part of it I've been patterning larger antique garments.

Last year, I was able to go to Genesee Country Village & Museum in upstate NY and pattern an early 1800s corset as well as an 1830s dress. Full instructions, photo albums, & print-optimized versions up on Etsy if you need more guidance or would like to support my work, but my agreement with the museum was that I would put simple gridded patterns up for free alongside the paid versions. And those are now up!

1830s dress (L/XL) Bust: ~43” (109cm) with the center-front gap Waist: 32.5” (82.5cm)

1830s Morning Dress Pattern (L/XL) FREE

Last year, curator Brandon Brooks at Genesee Country Village & Museum was kind enough to let me come and pattern a c. 1831 morning dress in

1810s corset (M/L) Bust: 39” (99cm) Waist: 31.5” (80cm)

1795-1820 soft corset pattern (M/L) FREE

Last year, curator Brandon Brooks at Genesee Country Village & Museum was kind enough to let me come and pattern an early 19th century corse

Tag me if you use them, I'd love to see!

was listening to cole porter and like "I miss when pop songs had a break for the tap dance routine" and ship was like "we should bring that back" and I was like yeah ... and immediately started trying to think of what music groups I could imagine bringing tap dance back and then I was like oh my god

if the kpop lads brought tap back. can you imagine. it would be a Pop Sensation.

being friends with english majors is so fun you'll send a text like hey are you free for brunch and they'll respond with some shit like "haven't the faintest clue, my schedule is utterly fucked"

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

english majors so used to talking like 19th century british aristocracy they think this is a joke about busy schedules

My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.

Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??

Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??

Legolas please gain a sense of urgency

[knives-in-the-dishwater]

It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.

gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"

"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."

[taavicleric]

"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."

Season 2 Episode 1: Make It Make Sense, Part I

Our April Fools Day prank is luring our friends who have actual STEM degrees into an episode on what may (or may not) actually be going on, astronomically speaking, in the Rukbat system!

In this episode, we put the Oort cloud in the Kuiper belt, propose that there might be up to 30 Red Stars, and determine that Rukbat doesn’t keep its room clean.

Thank you to special guests Roxie and Nazh, both for joining us and for knowing things about orbital mechanics!

Transcript is available on our website.

Mei Nianqing has definitely visited the Gambler's Den before. Proof is that he talked about how damn ugly the entrance couplets are (f in the chat for hc), so he has been there.

''But op, he could've seen those from the outside, too.'' Meaning that the card game-addict mnq saw this place and didn't even bother to take a look inside? Yeah, no

Alright, fine, here's the backstory about replacing my Microsoft Copilot key with a picture of a carp. Warning: that's the whole story.

When I bought my latest laptop, which coincidentally is already losing functionality in multiple keys, I noticed that the right Control button was no longer a right Control button. This was a bad sign for me, someone who fairly frequently used the right Control button. Worse still, it now bore the Microsoft Copilot logo and would open, when pressed, Microsoft Copilot. Not having personal interest in that particular robot, I was now in the market to rebind that key to something else.

I initially considered setting it up as my dedicated The Sims 2 button, but not only do I not yet have The Sims 2 installed on this computer, the way I play that game, it takes upwards of 15 minutes to boot up. I knew I would be constantly accidentally hitting this key, and I did not want to be constantly accidentally opening The Sims 2.

My partner immediately suggested that I set it to open "a jpeg of a fish." I Googled "carp," found an image, and set my right Control key to open a tiny browser window with a link to said fish. Though it is a .png file from pngtree labeled "pngtree-rohu-carp-fish-png-png-image_4022775.png", in an effort to display matrimonial piety, I dutifully labeled it "fish jpeg."

I now accidentally open this link multiple times a day, which is great, because it means I have a lot of opportunities to see a fish. Sometimes I accidentally hit it several times in quick succession, which means I get to see several fish! When I close all my open programs to shut down my computer, I usually find at least one forgotten fish. Things are working out beautifully, and everyone is happy.

The other day I brought up this story to a friend and relayed the saga of my success to her through her obvious confusion. At the end of my tale she asked me, "Why didn't you just bind it back to right Control?" and I had to admit to her that it honestly never occurred to me.
