But have you crocheted wee willies inside skivvies? (I think they're potholders. Ornamental, they're very small skivvies.) Then, you're such a grandma.

[casualbird]

can't say that i have//// can only really make rectangles. at the moment im making a long, warm rectangle, perhaps for a neck. it's chilly where i live.

have you?

[peoriapeoriawhereart]

Either my grandma made them, her mother made them, or something was bartered for them. Naturally, I never saw them until I found them, but they're mine now.

Yep, chilly here too.

I've made irish roses, but I always have to re-teach myself crochet.

yelling about how much i love girls

Miiiiiight I suggest:

widowtracer: Amélie "Widowmaker" Lacroix/Lena "Tracer" Oxton - but Emily shippers are also welcome and we're OT3 friendly.

mekamechanical: Hana "D.va" Song/Brigitte Lindholm. Also OT3 friendly as long as it's related.

and most of all

The List of Dreamwidth F/F Communities?

[casualbird]

thank you KINDLYYYYYYYYY!! i never got into overwatch--i don't even think my craptop can run it--but i'm on that masterlist like white on rice. grazie.

[oleandir]

sawbones is so great!! it's one of my soothing podcasts (maybe i have strange standards for "soothing").

love dnd and taz as well :D out of curiosity, what was the first mcelroy thing you came across? mine was the dentist admission form





G I R L S

[casualbird]

oh man i do too. i love all that grody medical stuff, it's so much fun to listen to on a walk or while cleaning.

oh GOD the dentist form. that cracks me up--but i think my first mcelroy thing was actually monster factory. i can't remember quite which but i think it might have been the dark souls one.

[oleandir]

i got so sick of my podcasts being all blokes too, I'd just had a run of them like that so when I heard Sydnee I was like aaaaaaaaa yessssssss

have you heard No Such Thing As A Fish??

my second mcelroys was monster factory!! and it was definitely the mass effect one cause i remember that face. was just. they never outdid that one for me 😂 (well, apart from The Final Pam, but i think she kind of has her own category)

[casualbird]

sydnee is just so cool, too. ugh she's the best.
i think my favorite episode is the one about the woman who gave birth to bunnies, that or the french anal fistula fad. yours?

i've not, what's it about?

oh god. please love truck. i think that one, final pam, and maybe ja'am were the best three. (backpack for his applesauce, backpack where he keeps his appleSAUCE!)

[obstinatecondolement]

Fibercrafts and McElroys you say? And pictures of your cats? I'm sold

[tiltingheartand]

Yeah this was what I was coming here to say, so I’ll just second it.

[larissa]

high five for sawbones! i haven't finished listening yet - i started the beginning and am somewhere in 2017, i think? the last thing i remember is an episode where sydnee mentioned toxins being the modern four humours and HONESTLY, IT'S TRUE.

also another high five for fma! i've been rewatching it with a friend who's never seen it and it's been a wild ride.

[casualbird]

wow, it's cool that you're listening chronologically! i just skip around and listen to whatever catches my fancy at the time. but GOD I KNOW sydnee has her head on as straight as anyone i've ever met. she's so smart and so practical and it just feels so vindicating when she gets angry at people for being willfully ignorant.

ooh, that must be fun!! how far are y'all?

[larissa]

tbh i'm that obnoxious person who has to start at the beginning with everything. how else are you supposed to understand the callbacks!! (this is also why i'm not into fire emblem yet. i was gently steered away from starting at the Very Beginning and instead started with FE7, but i still haven't finished it.......)

but yes sydnee is amazing. she tries so hard to be the voice of reason but sometimes. sometimes she just has to yell at people and it is Very Good.

we watched 2003 first (because i am, again, an obnoxious person, but also it's my childhood and i'm super nostalgic for it) and are now halfway through brotherhood! we just met olivier, Queen Of Everything. god i love her so much.

[casualbird]

that makes sense though! i started with 03 too, way back when i first went through. i love how wild and different it was.
but god isnt olivier just the best? ugh. i love her, and i love how she still wears lipstick even though she's tough and badass! i love all the women in fma to be quite honest.

and yeah, sydnee is great. have you heard the one about the woman who gave birth to bunnies? sydnee doesn't go off in that one but its just a WILD RIDE.

[larissa]

fma has the best ladies, it's true. every last one of them is incredible.

THAT ONE WAS UNREAL. i kept waiting for it to make sense and it just DIDN'T. even when she explained it it did not make any sense, at all, period. what the fuck was that entire story.

[casualbird]

my favorite is izumi, but i feel guilty saying it because i love them all.

YEAH UM WHAT THE ENTIRE HELL. the tarrare one was EQUALLY as perplexing tho.

[larissa]

OH GOD THAT ONE WAS UNREAL. like what the actual fuck.

AND THE ONE ABOUT THE DANCING PLAGUE??? medical history is bananas

[casualbird]

oooh, i haven't heard the one about the dancing plague, i should really look it up!!!
