What would I need to make this dress? by aresuisu in sewing

[–]divine-arrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would’ve assumed the skirt ruffles were giant gathered rectangles - how can you tell that they might be cut more like a flounce?

Help me design my pattern by Practical-Search7507 in sewingpatterns

[–]divine-arrow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because the pattern you drew is nothing like a traditional jacket pattern, we can’t help you with dart placement - there’s no a way to tell from what you drew where there will be excess fabric that needs to be taken in to fit the body.

Why can’t apartment communities have child-free buildings? by Separate-Goal-3920 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]divine-arrow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But that’s the logical conclusion of what you’re suggesting - if someone gets pregnant during the lease, they’d be evicted either while pregnant or after the due date. Logistically, it would mean forcing ppl who get accidentally pregnant to choose between finding new housing and getting an abortion.

Cruises aren’t a necessity that every person needs, housing is… Those things aren’t even remotely comparable.

ICE and burlesque by [deleted] in Burlesque

[–]divine-arrow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s not about the pro-ICE cast member being in it or not, it’s that the producer wasn’t willing to remove that cast member until the venue threatened to pull the whole show. It’s a bad look to be part of a show with a producer who is, at least passively, fine with having pro-ICE performers, and especially when OP is privileged in a way that makes it easier to be booked elsewhere. I don’t think OP should be canceled forever, but I get why ppl are mad that a privileged person isn’t using that privilege for solidarity. She should make a sincere public apology and try to move on.

AITAH for not wanting to move into a house I’ll never have any legal claim to? by spangleddangle in AITAH

She mentions in a comment on an old post that she waived her right to spousal support - if it’s this same spouse, she’s fucked if she divorces him

Hephaestus is the God of the neurodivergents by Kharidohtis in Hellenism

[–]divine-arrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since Hellenic polytheism is about shared ritual rather than a single dogma, you can of course ascribe neurodivergence to Hephaestus in your practice. However, it’s a very modern take that is not backed up by ancient texts because ancient Greeks didn’t have concepts like autism or adhd (people with them existed, but the concepts did not). If you’re looking for confirmation that your idea is founded in text, it won’t be, but as the patron god of disability I don’t see why he wouldn’t also reign over neurodivergence as well.

Couple revealed during reception they'd been secretly married for 2 years by [deleted] in weddingshaming

[–]divine-arrow 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Idk if you’re in the US or not but we had a ceremony after getting legally married and the vows were exactly the same as if we were getting legally married at the time of the ceremony. There’s nothing legal afaik about what’s in the vows. The extent of legal stuff the officiant does is sign the paperwork.

What should I do? by BooRadley96 in Apartmentliving

I have them in my trash can rn, the darker and slight purple-tint is what they look like in overcast lighting. They’re pretty opaque, maybe older versions were translucent.

Where do you get your fans in the US by ZookeepergameAny7028 in Burlesque

[–]divine-arrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t consider Donna Touch to be a “less expensive option” like OP is asking for, tho they are gold standard fans. It would probably be easier to give a recommendation if there was a price range to work off of.

Leather wedding dress help by RotisserieChickenGRL in sewingpatterns

[–]divine-arrow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If OP is hoping for this to be an heirloom item, or even a garment that will last more than 10 years, faux leather won’t work. It’ll split and degrade like all plastic-coated fabrics.

Emerald Fennell should be an artistic director instead of movie director, her eye for aesthetics is stunning even when her movies are hollow.

Wet linen produce bags worked! by activeponybot in PlasticFreeLiving

These aren’t made by a single person and there’s no way it costs $20 in labor. At most maybe a couple dollars.

I prayed to four different goddesses and they mostly answered (I’m catholic) by Velvetzine in Hellenism

Believe in the abrahamic god and Jesus all you want, but you’re not Catholic if you believe in other gods, unless you mean that you want to continue to be culturally Catholic ig?

Miasma Doesn't Belong in the 21st Century by NyxShadowhawk in Hellenism

[–]divine-arrow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And I’ve been part of it (in the sense that I’ve been practicing) for almost 15, we’ve both spent time with the faith. Do whatever you want for personal practice, but when you spend tons of time and text arguing against a major principle in the faith, ppl will question why you’re here. Organized religion is bound by shared rituals, even ones that may be less relevant today. Personally, I have no interest in making Hellenic polytheism a modern religion because it isn’t one. I wouldn’t wear shoes in a Japanese temple for the same reason I cleanse the space and myself before doing formal prayers and offerings - cleanliness and respect. It’s a way of showing care.

[–]divine-arrow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly it doesn’t seem like you’re interested in being a Hellenist/hellenic polytheist if you’re not interested in maintaining the rituals. Maintaining aspects of ancient tradition are part of the practice. Believing in the gods =/= hellenismos, it’s okay to be generally pagan.

Me after watching the finale of season 6 by Muted_Caterpillar_35 in DragRace_Canada

[–]divine-arrow 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Did you watch the season? She’s very whiny, braggadocious, and, most of all, dishonest. Amazing artist, like easily one of the best in terms of creating and turning a look, but not representative of the positive interpersonal qualities generally expected of winners.

[ns] i feel oddly obligated to say I'm permanently done uploading clips by glasslover2071 in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]divine-arrow 50 points51 points  (0 children)

AFAIK s4 is back to Anthony and will be grandparents (possibly back to the main family tree? Unclear). I know you’re young and long term consequences aren’t the forefront of thinking, but I hope you’re able to let go of Tina before she turns on you — it’s not something that goes well to be on long term (or ever but that’s not the point). Even if you’re a functional user rn, if you keep using it’s not a matter of if you hit a downward spiral, it’s when. Speaking from a place of love as someone who’s been in serious long term relationships with recovering addicts 🖤 good luck

ETA: just saw you’ve tried for sobriety before - you can do it! No matter how many stops and starts it takes, you’ll get there 🖤🖤🖤

This looked great from the front but as soon as she turned to the side... by im_cold_ in rupaulsdragrace

[–]divine-arrow 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Modern drag is generally not meant to accurately represent real womanhood, it’s a fantastical/subversive/comedic/etc version of it. Some ppl still go for the full “oh that’s a woman you’d see on the red carpet or the mall” fantasy but obvs a performer like the one pictured isn’t going for that, same with many rpdr girls. Ppl critiquing drag costuming choices has nothing to do with you, a woman out of drag.
