[ID: Three photos of a crocheted brown mouse at different angles, one with her sitting in front of a keyboard. She has big black eyes and pink feet, ears, and tails. She wears bronze wire glasses and a little purple shawl. end ID]
A little Madeleine working on the finishing touches of her memoir! I made her just before the Wooden Overcoats finale, as moral support.
I used the Christmas mouse pattern here to make her, if youd like to check it out!

Undertakers Against Blonds
[id: a screenshot of rudyard, antigone, georgie, and madeleine from the wooden overcoats banner, edited so they're all saying a Tumblr post by romanken, which reads, "Daily affirmations. Blond men are the devil's emissaries. Blond men will not enter the kingdom of heaven at their deaths nor will they sing with the rest of god's creatures in his choir. Blond men are a scourge upon this earth and all who consider themselves righteous and holy are bound by honor to hunt them to extinction." end id]

moments I love in "Tempting Fête"
"I can only read what I've got written down, Mr. Funt." "Councilor Funt! -Funn, Councilor Funn."
the fact that it's been 11 years of this Funn/ Funt debate (alternatively, that both the reverend and the mayor have addressed him properly the last three episodes and seemed to have no problem with it)
"Yes, well, I'll see what I'm doing that day" -leading the funeral, one would hope?
underrated bit of the series in general: cell service only being available in the reverend's bathroom
"I think he's quite dishy" (this scratches such an itch in my brain; I quote it once a week)
the mayor and reverend (who will be dating by the end of the episode) agreeing emphatically with the above statement
the reverend wearing eye shadow! (incredible, show stopping, spectacular, never been seen before)
"It was one mouse! and, and I don't know anything about it"
"All opposed?" "... I mean, I'd say opposed is a strong word-" "Done! Carried unanimously!"; "All opposed? "I, uh-" "Overruled! Motion carried!"
"We already have an identity: it's miserable and it works." (i want this on a t-shirt)
"There hasn't been a fête for eleven years." "Astonishing. Who's in charge of local events?" "Rudyard." "Ah."
"Look, it's easy to throw money around and get excited about rustic dancing, but we've got-" "I'LL SAY IT IS!"
"His world had once again become an increasingly scary place. There was only one thing left to do..." "Georgie?" "Yeah?" "We're emigrating."; "It was time for swift and decisive action, and there was only one place to head for: Reverend Wavering's bathroom"; at the funeral I was able to witness Rudyard, bereft of Reverend and with few attendees, deliver a stirring and entirely improvised speech about the circuities of fate, the struggles of discord, and an intractable acceptance of the way the cookie crumbles, a sermon that moved the late Basil Corbett’s niece to say, quite simply:" "We want our money back" (some really fantastic narration moments in this one that make me giggle every time)
Rudyard including Madeleine in the emigration plans is said so sweetly and it honestly makes me a little soft
"One word: Chapman." "I should return his calls-" "Chapman?" "- probably won't, though"
"Rudyard, other people do those things for you!" "Conscription?" "Volunteering!"
"I, I, I do like spreadsheets!"
(No Madeleine, I hate raffles!") (these posts are always so Rudyard-centric lol and it's helped me come to the conclusion that he really is the funniest)
"Do you know how many gallons of fluid I'll have to drain from a man that size? Possibly thousands!" "What a ridiculous lie!" (this is another one that I quote often lol)
"I wish I were Mrs. Carnegie!" "You will be, Mrs, Turner. You will be." (WHAT IS THIS RESPONSE?!)
"Fancy a funeral?" "That a threat?"; "Don't forget your funeral." "Was that a threat?"
"Socializing? That'd take up ten minutes and then what would they do? No. Perpetual scheduled activity, that's the way."
"Put some clothes on!" "IT'S MY HOUSE!"
"Antigone?" "What?!" "Helicopters!" "Go back to your side of the table."
"Now get over there and sabotage something!" "*sigh* Fine." "Do you really think that's going to help?" "Oh maybe not, but it'll cheer me up."
"Called up the family, made up a story about... well, re-organizing a fête, that sort of thing." "How did they react?" "Well, they weren't very happy..." "But?" "No, that's it, they weren't very happy."
"You know, I can actually see your future." "Oh yes?" "Mmm hmm. And it involves this crystal ball getting shoved STRAIGHT up your-"
"Alright sir! Mission accomplissshhhhed." "Hello, Georgie." "Hello..." "Get out, Georgie." "Goodbye..."
The Mayor trying to rustic dance for a couple of hours before giving up
Lady Templar's glass eye. (That's it. That's the post.)
"He'd be spinning in the grave you haven't put him in yet!" (best line of the episode honestly)
"What a dreadful little man!" "Yes... mind you, he looks good in a suit"
"Even in a crowd, they all look lonely" (🤌🤌🤌)
"Can't win 'em all" 'Winning anything at all would be a nice change." (also want this on a t-shirt)
"You like to be the hero, don't ya?" (Georgie's the GOAT)
"Rudyard. Do you know what this chap did?" "Yes, he told me" (my man is already so tired of Eric lol)

[id: 3 pen and marker sketches of madeleine from wooden overcoats in three different outfits. madeleine is a bespeckled small mouse. her first outfit is a long raincoat and rain boots combo with a head scarf tied under her chin, she is holding a small thimble with her beverage. the second outfit she wears is a thick turtleneck sweater, long pleated skirt and slippers while holding a book under one arm and a feather as big as her body in her other hand. the last outfit she wears is a night robe, bonnet, and slippers. she is sitting on the ground, rubbing her eyes with a book in her lap, clearly sleepy. /end id]
madeleine looks like she should be on a box of tea to me, and also rudyard should make her some little outfits for his best friend

There ought to be clowns, top three podcast episodes of all times.
[ID: a digital, fully coloured drawing of Rudyard Funn from Wooden Overcoats.
He's a pale man with black hair and sideburns. He's wearing a white nightgown and a bandage on his right foot. He's standing in front of a cupboard with the top door open. Next to his feet sits Madeleine, a small brown mouse.
Rudyard is looking with a tired expression and saying "Madeleine. There is a dead clown in the cupboard. /End ID]
