Random Thoughts/Things?
I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

Yeah, he's an amazing villain, especially in the later books. One of my top three, probably.

SAME never heard of the Nevermoor series till now but that sounds like my IDEAL villain
i definitely have to keep an eye out for that, it seems to have all my favorite book elements

Leafeon is so underrated. Leafeon is so underrated. Leafeon is so underrated.
Seriously, first of all, its design is so cool and interesting; it's like a cat-plant hybrid. Also, if you know about all the nerdy, nitty-gritty bits of Pokémon stats like I do (or want to learn), all the rest of this post is for you: Leafeon has great attack and some pretty good speed, and some nice base defense to tide it over while it dishes out Solar Blades in the sun. Its only weak point is that its special defense is terrible, so you need to watch out for that, but you could have it hold an item that boots its special defense when it's hit by a special move. And it's not that hard to switch when a special attacking Pokémon enters the field.
Solar Blade, Synthesis, Leaf Blade, and Swords Dance is a moveset to demolish on a Leafeon. (I wish I could remember what the best item for a Leafon is, but I can't XD) Put it on a sun team, and boom, your opponent will be cowering in fear. Honestly, I am shocked that most articles ranking Eeveelutions put Leafeon IN LAST PLACE. Seriously, do you just not know how to play Pokémon? The worst Eeveelutions is actually Flareon. (Take that with a grain of salt, if you will, because I'm someone who enjoys prepping quirky movesets and stat distributions that opponents won't expect.) Leafon is easy to utilize. I have my shiny Leafon at max attack and max speed, which I think is the best build for it.
Also, all this is coming from someone who is very into Pokémon and knows how competitive Pokémon works, so you can trust me.
In case you couldn't tell, I really like Leafon.

Viola?'s Lets Play House thread is the best. I might reboot it soon. I already tried like a month ago, but it might work better now with the other AE threads going on?? Thoughts? :\

I welcome you into the age of humidity, knitting, oat milk, and The Umbrella Academy. Join me and we will accomplish . . . A lengthy discussion of double-pointed needles, dairy, theories about Ben, Number 5, time travel, and other things.
Intriguing, non?

I'm down for discussing dpns! Do you prefer them? I find them kinda finicky.
(June 27, 2022 - 1:11 pm)
I am not a fan of them at all. I knitted a tiny cat stuffed animal using dpns, and I had to restart it seven times because they were so hard to work with. That cat took away half my sanity, I swear. I would like to knit socks though, or at least try. Have you had any experience with that?
(June 27, 2022 - 8:22 pm)
I hope you don't mind if I randomly drop in to your knitting conversation.
I actually like dpns. They are really finnicky for the first few rows, but once I'm past that it's great. A lot better than having to slide around the stitches so you can knit with cable needles that are too long (I can't seem to find a pair of cable needles with the perfect lenght for whatever projects I knit). One thing about dpns though is that there are two ends for stitches to slide off of.
Socks are really fun! They make great canvasing for exploring various stitch patterns and they aren't too hard as long as you have a pattern without errors. I knit my first socks with an error filled pattern and it was very frustrating. You can actually knit socks using cable needles if you prefer.
(June 28, 2022 - 10:48 am)
Not at all, thank you! Do you have any sock patterns you'd recommend? Have you tried colorwork?
(June 29, 2022 - 7:33 am)
I honestly haven't used them much, but I wasn't impressed with the one set I bought. Nothing wrong with the needles themselves, dpns are just not comfortable to work with for me.
I really would like to try knitting socks! I haven't yet, but if I decide to try I'll probably get a pair of small circular needles. I really like cable needles, but magic loop looks kind of frustrating. I've never tried it.
