Lesbian Knight Weddings | Chosen Family Podcast

[@sophiegavroche]

"You have succumbed to the flaws of extreme arrogance" also sounds like something a knight would say tbh 😂😂

[@kerizella]

i love when people get all excited about imagining who they'd be in medieval lore but then i remember that 99% of us would be root eating peasants

[@nhaedzwero43]

Um, actually, I'm a bark-eating-peasant thankyouverymuch

[@alienorfrei6867]

My thought about this is always that I'd have died in infancy or childhood 😅

[@SpaceyD]

​@@alienorfrei6867100%!!! 😁

[@RiverDoesTheThing]

Are we not currently root eating peasants?

[@lisajopegg1685]

I am cackling so hard at the whispered argument between Mak and Ashley. This whole episode makes me so happy.

[@jacklandismusic]

“It’s ableist to be on time.” -Me, explaining the reason I got fired for being consistently late to work because ADHD

[@ariannapreciado7077]

ADHD isn't really excusable as far as "I'm disabled that's why I'm late".. so many people have undiagnosed and diagnosed ADHD and manage to keep their jobs and make it to places on time. Myself included.

[@rtd1791]

@@ariannapreciado7077You took the comment too literally

[@irradiated_woman8016]

I love a masculine cut in a feminine fabric. A lace suit, other interesting textures, a floral... Something a fasionable/fancy man would wear.

[@homoromoacecase97]

Exactlyyyy!

[@DanaNygard]

Silk dress shirt! A fitted/straight cut crop pant with a really nice pair of flats or Oxford style leather shoes with a silk button down shirt, maybe a vest, I could totally see Mac in a really well tailored version of this combo.

[@thebeanqueen1669]

Ngl me and my girlfriend have discussed multiple time about wearing armour for our wedding + sword fighting to figure out which of us two get to do the proposal lol

[@kerizella]

Sword fighting to figure out who proposes is absolutely hilarious

[@Taurus_Butterfly]

🤣Alayna's expression when she found the spot.

[@Jaynayh]

Happy in-advance-and-belated-birthday to Alayna! 🎉🎉 You mean a lot to a lot of people, so thank you for existing😊

[@AlaynaJoyOfficial]

thank you 🥺

Ashley’s eyes are so pretty when she gets emotional ❤

✨✨black tank✨✨ Ashley and Mak whisper argument 😂

[@fromalko]

I laughed like a maniac though out the whole episode. The part where Ashley guiding how to reach to our cracks and find the space between the our coccyx and tailbone make me feel like we've crossed the universe to WHGS!

[@gadogado4468]

Mak- Tsar of birthdays. HBD Mom hope you had a nice day.

[@JuMixBoox]

Sorry, but Mak would kill it in knights armour. After her Star Wars cosplay, I totally see the vibe. But for a wedding, I don't think she's dedicated enough to the Medieval theme though.

[@Qweenkayy]

This episode and last weeks was so good and funny! Excited to see the next ep with Maks test results 🤣

[@megancurtis9502]

The deadpan delivery of the things I love about you list is hilarious 😂 It's giving "today class I would like to talk to you about..."

[@spriddlez]

I always assumed Alayna just wants the pin herself but cant justify it any other way so she tied it into Patreon to give heraelf permission to just make something that gives her joy.

[@Raddiebaddie]

Aww your cute puppy coming in after the enamel pins he must have heard his name 🥲

[@t_bizzles]

I love when doctors complement your body. I also have chronic pain, and after surviving and healing from a placenta accreta and they had to check my uterus to see how it’s healed and I was told I have a beautiful uterus. It’s weird to hear stuff like that but also feels very special. Love you guys!

[@ericadecopas]

[@melisadeseguirant7867]

OMG the screen effect / emoji thing! I'm a therapist and had a client in a video session a while back clutch their chest during an emotional moment. The way their hand was formed looked like a thumbs up and sent little thumbs ups all over the screen!!! 😳😅

[@ttarotkidd]

this episode flew by in a blink it was so good

[@shae113]

I had my wedding at the Kansas City Renaissance Faire. My now-hubby wore armor. It was a total nerd wedding and we loved it! I could see Mak in chainmail over a flowy sleeved shirt.

[@tambob82]

Alayna, you legit af son! Keep your Pin game strong! It brings you joy, it brings the Paytch joy, not everything has to be about money. Much love from Germany!💚🇩🇪 Ashley, saw you in the Tempodrom! 10/10 dude.

[@Louisyed]

Alayna is 100% a medieval princess name and when Ashley said that I got a vivid image of Alayna in a flowing princess dress with jewels in her hair and Ashley angry in a full silver knight get up - complaining that she wanted to be the jester. We need to make this happen. That would be commitment to the bit 😂

[@4lovebysara]

My wife (chapstick lesbian) wore her boots, nice jeans, a cotton button up top (it may have had no color) & a vest. You could always switch out jeans for dressier pants if it's more fancy. Ultimately it's your day, there are so real rules, as long as you feel good that's all that matters! ❤

[@theszmek]

My best friend did a vegan, fantasy and sci fi themed wedding reception, and I'm no geek, but it was the best fucking night! The dancing, blue cake and outfits were unhinged and incomparable! She went as an elf princess and he went as a Jedi, and my fiancé and I went as buttercup and Westley! Great times 😂 but if you do something like that everyone has to commit to the bit, and embrace the fun of it!

[@fific37stream73]

what is vegan fantasy??

[@rtd1791]

I think there was supposed to be a comma between “vegan” and “fantasy”. The wedding was sci-fi and fantasy themed but also vegan, I imagine. Unless they meant it was okay to come dressed as a fantasy character but only if the character was from a fantasy fandom where no animals were harmed. 😂

The way I actually found the place ashley was talking about aswell when she described it 😂

[@bripk9598]

God I love chronic pain talk. It does actually help to know that other people are also going through this crazy diagnosis, treatment, etc process. I do wish I had your doctors though.

[@ironiceilidh]

y’all said literally exactly what i said for mak’s outfit. the slightly femme top and undone buttons under the suit top is so necessary 😭

[@Elliot-thefrog]

Hii watching these always make me happier and your all so funny! Also happy birthday Alayna!!! And I hope you feel better Ashley!

[@XimeNox]

Considers knight armor seriously Ashley: Touch grass, read a book Me: A fantasy romance book, hell yeah!

[@taylernewman398]

Happy (early/belated) Birthday Alayna, You are my parasocial chosen mother and I am so happy that you exist. You bring such a joy to this podcast and to my life. Ashley congratulations on the European tour so happy to see you succeed and I will be seeing you in Tulsa soon. And Mak, the things you read about Alayna was so sweet and how probably a lot of the the viewers see Alayna/our mom. Danny-Hi.

[@significantsoil5345]

20:00 Thank you Dr. Ashley! Found out something new about my body today.

[@foxesrule9037]

This knight-talk made me realize Mak looks so much like Kit Tanthalos

[@LINLA]

I have the same cushion as Ashley and it's seriously been life changing for me. Chronic pain/inflammation would not let me sit comfortably at all and this cushion is the best. They also have excellent customer service if anything goes wrong (they sent me a new one for free because a hot coffee spilled on it and ruined it). Besides this cushion, the only things that have helped my chronic pain/inflammation is a combination of prescription anti-inflammatory meds and LDN. Sending all the love to anyone out there trying their best to manage chronic pain/inflammation

[@rtd1791]

Hearing Ashley say she’d have been a jester made me look up whether jesters were ever female as I’ve never seen one in a movie or encountered one in a book. There were. Naturally. Of course, but we don’t as a general rule talk about them. Now I am thinking that seeing Ashley play one in a movie would be enjoyable. A movie she wrote. The jester idea made me think about how so many men claim women aren’t funny and shouldn’t be comedians. This idea puzzled me for so long. It is so weird to believe that. One, it isn’t true. Two, men can be so vicious about it. When I read reviews of female comedians’ specials or Reddit comments, there’s always blokes insisting women aren’t funny. They can be so emotional about it. Why are they so hepped up? But it recently struck me that these are the same guys who have a problem with female bosses. It’s not that women aren’t funny; it’s the power dynamic. The idea that he’d have to pay attention to the woman on stage (whose role was not to provide him with visual stimulation) and sit in the audience without the ability to center his pov makes that kind of guy uncomfortable. So uncomfortable he has no idea if anything funny is happening or not. Maybe this is obvious to everyone else, but I was perplexed for the longest time.

[@eyeseajujubee]

Happy belated birthday Alayna! 🎉 Julio is adorable!

[@Zweigenhaft9]

When Alayna said Leo on Titanic i said "so like a pirate blouse??" 😂

[@canadianicedragon2412]

We are always "mad" ... in the "mad hatter" sense of the word. Also cat cameo... I'm here for the Fulton appearances. I'm not a chronic pain sufferer, but am having "My Medical May" for all the things that are falling apart. (i.e. yesterday was the CT scan for my gut infections, tomorrow is regular dentist, Monday is the biopsy, .... at least my issues are usually not that painful.) Oh and Ashley if you think "knights" were 6 feet... you have never seen old armour.

[@yosoysoya7944]

Mak was on fire in this episode

[@Z_Galaxy]

As soon as mak said black tanks I nodded along with Ashley

[@ttarotkidd]

Mak might be an INFP (the mediator) but that might just be me projecting. I laughed so hard when Mak said her girlfriend said she never talks 🤣Cause same

[@andrewz5981]

Now that Ashley described it. I have a chronic situation in that exact area! We are coccyx pain buddies

[@ROCKONplaceboforever]

Been having a shitty week lost my job this cheered me up thank u love u guys ❤❤❤ and my birthday is april 11th honoured to share a birthday month woth Alayna

[@MitzyCat]

hb Alayna, the fact that Every Day is Digit Day

[@fannydoucet6750]

Hi, I'm from the future and I can tell you it's not 100% sold out because at least in Paris Ashley decides to ADD A SHOW in the same evening, so the 10pm one wasn't completely sold out, only the 8pm. But then I guess the chronic pain and fatigue WERE sold out. From a fellow actress with EDS, I admire you ! And we had fun at your show

[@milianesa]

alayna being an INFJ is sooo accurate. i am too and i think she's the perfect representation

[@circleofleaves2676]

Just like in modern times, in medieval lore Alayna takes on too many things. She's a milk-maid for the court, the innocent facade helping to conceal the fact that she's a raging Top lesbian and hooking up with the noblewomen of the court in the barn. The whole milk-maid thing is just an act, the breast/udder touching is code to let the queer women of the village know who to come to - ahem, no pun intended - and she doesn't really milk them anyway because she's vegan. Alayna is actually a badass archer with those rock-climbing arms, and when the princess is being forced to marry some dude-douche, Alayna scales the rock wall like a boss, jumps on a horse with bow and arrow, rescues the princess, and gallops off into the mountains, because YOU CAN BE GAY IF YOU WANT TO.

[@sergbastian5]

I rush home every Tuesday after work so excited to watch this podcast 😊❤ thanks my gay family

INTP here and I LOVE idea of knight armours. And maybe I was looking at swords before I wandered here, maybe 👀

You did great in London Ashley!

MyersBriggs is about as scientific as horoscopes and Tarot cards. But there is lots of people explaining their traits on "being an aspargus with mercury in the microwave" too

[@christinadevantier]

i don’t bi it got me through high school. i have a master’s degree now. you are absolutely an og alayna :)

[@randomlittlewaffle]

I found all my other LGBT creators through Alayna, either directly or because youtube recommendations. She for sure is! ❤

[@appropriateinput]

Ashley: " 'Follow the rules' ". Me: "WHAT RULES?!" 😂😂😂

[@mariasees]

great episode thank you

[@alisontippett2618]

Okay this episode made me retake the Myers Briggs for the first time since I was like 16, and it is wild to realize how different it is to take that test once you actually know yourself in your thirties.

[@eyeAmBrittanyH]

I can't tell if Alayna is the equivalent of a Morgana... who is a quiet baddie, doesn't want the "princess title," gorgeous, OR more of a Gwenivere where she's gentle and sweet and caring and still gorgeous but either way it fits. Mak is 10000% like... Lancelot and Ashley as much as you are a Jester, obviously, I'm picturing Merlin. Im sorry I rewatched Merlin recently and right now it's my Rome Empire. Thanks

[@caseyneill7015]

Patreon comes in clutch with the notifications ❤❤

[@tabitas.2719]

Ok, my first thought on what to wear on the wedding day: - onesie - also, those dress-pants that look like a dress? :D - or whatever makes you comfy that your partner likes on you!

[@hi-yo1kq]

Yesss mbti has reached the pod!!!

[@RowanWolf22]

INFJ here! I do find though that the test does NOT consider ADHD and anything else. So some traits can be a little off for people? Looking forward to seeing the results in the future podcast though 🤣

[@DanielleDrewa]

So excited for my pin!! Now just to get some chosen family merch!

[@Louisyed]

"The flexibility thing - you kinda lost me there" Definitely not autistic Mak 😂

Proud of you dad❤

[@HeyAmandaR]

Someone said I was effervescent in 2007 and I too have never forgotten it. I felt so seen. The words I like to explain it are "full of life" "lusty" "vibrant". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ashley's face in a split second at 26:06 / 26:07 when she looks at the camera in utter disbelief. Oh no, just got to "You're not quite tall enough for one, I'm not gonna lie." HA! Mak "with deep aesthetic streak and a natural talent for the arts" ...while she sits in a room with no decor wearing a handmade mom hat. Sounds about right. ;)

[@matthijsclaessen8152]

[@scubagoldfish45]

Not only is she an OG, I vote Alayna for Prime Minister of lesbian KZbin!

[@EpiBuilds]

Alayna being an INFJ makes so much sense

[@matthijsclaessen8152]

I identify with that “hard J”. My test said INFJ but the first three scores were practically flat. But that fourth (Judging) was sky high. 😊

[@matteot2810]

No problem with the Knight height, medioeval armours in museum are very small and cute

It was $30 shipping for me and I'm in Canada just a Provence over

[@magdelinaskouzina]

Aww…but it’s my actual birthday!!! 😁🫶🏼

[@KookiePup]

I think Mak would be an ISFJ, P means you’re more of an adaptable person while J means you require more structure and I think that suits Mak better!

[@leoanne06]

Happy birthday 🎉

[@zhyv0n]

I have a fix for the wedding situation: Mak gets married in a suit of armor and plays Lady Gaga at the wedding, that way her girlfiend is marrying the Knight. 🤭

[@EvaWadzinski-nh3yl]

Myers-Briggs isn't science-based, either is the love languages quiz. They're more for fun and play. Happy Birthday Alayana!!

[@CaraDuberstein]

Mak is totally leo in Titanic!

[@Rand0mRain]

On the coccyx/butthole space, I know where that is. I've massaged it on other people.

Sorry mak for being a participant in the knight armor suggestion

[@Peeeast]

[@Ferx68]

I’m INTJ would love to meet more because I think we are a rare type specially woman.

[@spook6394]

Mak is probably ISTJ, just so you know. - former MBTI nerd. (Consider ISFJ if it doesn’t fit) The way the internet knows your type is probably via a website called personality database, where MBTI nerds vote on your type (public figures or fictional characters). Usually, in my opinion, the majority vote is wrong. Your own ideas of your types are very possible. I would be surprised if Alayna was INFP, less so but still surprised if Ashley was ESTP. I would have probably typed Alayna as ENFJ, and Ashley as ESTJ. But obviously you only show a persona online, so I think it’s quite silly to try to actually type you lmao. So these are just surface level guesses, I’m not analyzing you at all ❤

[@STSgerman]

Myers-Briggs is about as scientific as Astrology

[@rosiedurrant4365]

I have heard it called the Astrology of the business world

[@matteot2810]

Yes but it's a little more descriptive and organized with the 4 traits, and you get it with a test instead of a birth, and mine suits me way better than the star sign. But yeah it's not predictive or useful for real

[@nix.fairy66]

i wanna take the myers test but its like $60 bucks, anyone know the next best website to take one sorta similar?

[@hi-yo1kq]

The 16 personalities website is free
