ok so in my show character A is being considered for a movie and character b is doing the lines for the other person in the scene, so that character A can send a video sample of her acting.
Characters: *do lines back and forth*
Character A: Why have you stopped?? Keep going!
Character B, flipping through script: Wait a minute, this is just a giant ripoff of The Birds!

hahah perfect timing
I never did cross stitch but I've done tablet weaving & embroidery

I've done a bit of embroidery, too -- it's pretty relaxing.
I usually do it with yarn, though, because I don't have the patience to perfectly place each thread so that there's no fabric showing through.
This is a piece that I did a few weeks ago:

Do you have any pictures of your embroidery?

 

[Sapphire Sebright]

yep. Don't get on her bad side
are long needles worse than short needles?

Yes, contained in a package. Yeah, but if it WASN"T corona time, then food fight is great
throwing packages of sour patch kids at othe rhumans?

just me complimenting Saff's exemplary performance convincing me of things
okay...

Well, with a small needle, you can get more pokes in a given area than you could with a big needle in the same area, but I think that big needles would hurt more -- they're thicker, and wouldn't go in as easily.

Especially if you make them nice and blunt before the stabbing- er, weaving.

yikes, okay.
i think a big needle would probably do more stuff because the amount of pokes wont be affected a whole lot by the size of the needle

I think that it also depends on what you're using it for -- for example, I wouldn't use the big needles for, say, doing the splinter-under-the-nail torture method.
Not that I'll be torturing anyone anyway -- and I sincerely hope that none of you will be, either.

Character B: Yeah I'm having some trouble with the college because I misplaced my highschoo diploma when they took our house
Character C: It's not like they're gonna be like 'oh you don't have a highschool diploma, you can't come to our college now" or anything
Character B: that is almost exactly what they said word for word
