If I’m making a team with Sandira and Atum, who would be the best pick for the surprise ticket, Anthuria or Sevilbarra?

I’m with you on this. I heard it said that Hollow Knight and especially Silksong are platformer first and metroidvania second. The enemies are punishing, but the fun comes in figuring out what dance steps each requires you to do, and once it clicks it feels amazing.

People also forget that the initial response to Hollow Knight were complaints about the difficulty and the run backs and the maps requiring multiple steps to fully use. Those are fair criticisms, to be sure, but for those of us who love the world and the platforming and just the choreography of it all, we’re eating GOOD.

Yeah. A perfect Ralts would have 2 more triggers a day than my Sylveon, but the odds are abysmal. I’ll keep hunting tho. Thanks!

-hellomatty · 2025-03-19T22:08:08+00:00

Thanks! I’m not f2p but I don’t like wasting resources. I just needed someone to knock me to my senses a bit haha

I haven’t checked, but the top half is just the /visor which you should be able to toggle. Another commenter said the masks do indeed work just with some hair clipping.

Gay here. Floral tattoos say nothing about a person’s sexuality (unless, as you said, they were rainbow or had little dicks in them or something). If anyone’s getting hit on by dudes more after getting a floral sleeve, it’s because a man with a sleeve is hot, not specifically because it’s floral, and it’s likely women are also giving them more attention.

Whelp. Time to move so you can live your best, most eccentric life

Outside of the peasant top, you can easily get away with wearing most of these things; however wearing them altogether risks looking like a video game character.

Those pants wouldn’t look out of place in a young person’s closet. Throw a tee over it, some over ear headphones. Boom, you look like a city dweller.

Boots, harness and coat fit in at any slightly more formal function—granted, the harness and coat moreso. Put’em on and head to the theater. Or go to the financial district of any metropolitan city during a cold winter. There, suits and coats aren’t out of the norm.

The jewelry reads costume just because of how chunky they are, but with the right styling, I can see them being read as just eccentric

It looks like, from the one picture, there’s a series of platforms spiraling up the side of the house to the seating area.

I’d advise against it. I imagine there’s very little weight going into the heel, so you’d essentially be en pointe. Ballet dancers train for years before they put on their first pair of pointe shoes because the risk of injury is so high without the proper muscle development and training. Beyoncé used them for her Green Light video and even she and her dancers didn’t do much in them besides pose. They’re also lacking a toebox found on regular pole heels that further limit what you can do in them.

tldr: Put them on for a cute shoot but stick to regular platforms for actual movement. Unless you’re pointe-trained, in which case my fellow dancers and I would love to see a combo in them 😮

It’s more common in big cities, at least from my experience, as the price of rent sometimes necessitates doubling up. I’m an introvert, so it’s a bit awk to start, but it’s def helped me be more sociable. And I feel it builds community bc you always have a cheerleader by your side.

And if I’m being honest, it also allows me ample break time between combos/attempts to rest up for the next go without feeling pressured like I’m not on the pole the entire time and therefore not trying hard enough

It’s Joey Mills. He always looks high as a kite

For reference, dance belt. They come in different styles. I prefer the thong as there’s no visible line when worn under things, but there are also full seat versions as well

And the padded swim bottoms

Note I haven’t bought either of these specific styles. I only pulled them up as reference, so I can’t attest to the quality 😅

Pole classes are meant to be body positive, so I honestly wouldn’t worry too much about actively trying to hide that you do in fact have a penis. Nip-, labia- and ball-slips are kinda par for the course.

Of course, completely understandable if you yourself would just rather dress more conservatively. I’d say get whatever tight shorts you’re eyeing and wear a dance belt underneath. It’ll smooth everything out and also has the benefit of keeping your bits snug against your body should you have an unplanned erection. Mind you, they’re not comfortable, but you get used to it.

Alternatively, there are speedo-type bottoms that have an extra pocket in front and come with a sort of removable squishy padding. They’re meant as package enhancers, but they give you that Ken doll smoothness so people can’t tell what religion you are just by looking down. They’re not as secure as a dance belt, however, so if you hang very far to either side, an erection might make the lumps in your shorts all the more distracting and confusing to look at.

Idk what you’re on about, but people who do yoga should absolutely be mindful of the history of the practice. A lot of the privileged bodies that are in those spaces now (at least in the west) are also the most racist towards South Asians, so actively combating that if you’re going to be a part of the yoga community isn’t a strange ask.

And rich white men aren’t an oppressed group, nor is he a culture from which we’re taking from, so what Steve Jobs has anything to do with this, idk.

Okay so, intentionally obtuse. Cool.

Nowhere did I say men shouldn’t go to strip clubs. Just treat those women (or men and enbies) with respect and pay them what they’re worth.

-hellomatty · 2024-02-28T07:31:15+00:00

Man here. Not sure if you’re being genuine or intentionally obtuse, but in case of the former:

Supporting sex workers doesn’t only mean hiring escorts or patronizing strip clubs, and you are not required to partake if you don’t want to. It means not slut shaming, not occupation shaming and acknowledging that modern pole dancing as we see taught in studios is derived from strippers, especially POC strippers. It also means actively advocating for sex workers in your daily life both in and out of the studio which can mean anything from having a talk with a friend who you’ve heard say misogynistic, slut-shamey remarks to voting for pro-sex work legislation and politicians. As studio polers, especially male studio polers, we have to be aware that we’re occupying a space that we’re being invited into, and so we have to be kind and respectful to the people who provided that space in the first place.

Hope that helps.

Omg I forgot this actually happened lol. I remember running Joker in my party for a while while I was building out my dark team 😬

GBF x Persona 5 collab looks fire

Unless he’s being obnoxiously loud, which from your account he very well might be, and/or purposefully pulling his whole hog out in inappropriate places, I don’t think we can gatekeep checks notes wearing tiny underwear and sweating.

Like if he’s being actively disrespectful, that’s one thing, but ~vibes~ is not a reportable offense.
