does the 69 button have a name or are we all calling it the 69 button.

how do you pronounce "towel"?

as an aussie, i basically remove the last part of the word (like "tow" but pronouncing the "ow" as you would when you hurt yourself)

-towel (pronouncing all of it)

-tow (like what i just explained)

-towel ("tow" as in towing a car)

-something else

-see results

it sucks being an American because people from other countries will make fun of you for liking burger and you will try to be like NO! I EAT OTHER FOOD TOO! but you can't get the words out because you're too busy salivating over the idea of burger

Here are some (not very good) photos of me wearing it! I'll have to get some better ones at my parents house later, because there is absolutely no good space to take photos in my apartment. I don't have any other 1830's things to go with it, and don't currently have plans to make any. I just wanted this dressing gown specifically.

Anyways! There are 6,957 triangles, all sewn together by machine, but most of the actual garment construction is by hand. The unevenness from all the patchwork seam allowances made it very fussy, and the tailoring took at least twice as long as it would have in a normal fabric. The velvet was also a challenge, being the soft drapey wobbly kind, but I managed. I accidentally made my triangles a bit smaller than the ones on the original (C. 1835, Powerhouse Museum collection.) which means there are more triangles than there had to be, but that's ok. I really enjoyed doing the patchwork, it's the most wonderfully soothing brainless task ever and I will definitely make more patchwork things.

I'm very happy with how it turned out! It's comfortable and fits pretty well, and is warm but not excessively so.

I kept timesheets for everything, and I haven't added them up yet, but once I do I'll know exactly how long all of this took.

I also filmed it, but the youtube video won't be out for quite a while, because I still have to write and record some more stuff and then edit a very very very very large amount of clips.

"Why is it a problem if students use AI to get through college"

Because if you demonstrate to me that you're willing to set aside concern for truth, evidence, and verifying things with your own eyes whenever it happens to be inconvenient for you, I have a solemn responsibility to make sure you don't get into medical school.

Cole: Don't worry. I'm fast enough to be where you need me.

(if Iron Bull is in the party)

Cole: You can send The Iron Bull further in. He knows where the archers are.

Iron Bull: (grunts) What is it this time?

(if Cassandra is in the party)

Cole: She can kill four of them. But she'll get hurt, too.

Cassandra: Why are you looking at me?

(if Blackwall is in the party)

Cole: You should send someone with Blackwall. Then it's just like the tourney.

Blackwall: What in the world is he talking about?

(if Solas is in the party)

Cole: Solas can't stay there. He needs to see you.

Solas: I need a line of sight to cast a barrier, yes. What are we discussing, exactly?

(if Vivienne is in the party)

Cole: Vivienne is strong. She can hold the front line, but then she can't see what's behind her.

Vivienne: Leave me out of your games, demon.

(if Dorian is in the party)

Cole: Don't let them surround Dorian. He doesn't have enough fire for all of them.

Dorian: Yes, do not let them surround Dorian. What are we talking about, again?

(if Varric is in the party)

Cole: Varric is too far from the others. He shouldn't be alone.

Varric: (uneasy laugh) What's this about, Kid?

(if Sera is in the party)

Cole: Sera has fire and lightning, like you. They'll think that you're mages if you make it bright enough.

Sera: What? No! Don't want any of — whatever that is.

Cole: It's us, but smaller. He's moving us in his mind, trying to make us not die. I'm trying to help.

Aqun: I — were you hearing all of it?

Cole: Just the parts where you were afraid.

The only reason Blackwall doesn’t look like this in game is because if he did look like this no one would want to sleep with egg man or the catholic cop
