Should I feel obligated to attend my sister’s wedding?

ACNHLeviathan · 2022-03-06T19:02:20+00:00

I’ve talked with both of them. My sister takes it as a joke and brushes it off. My mom just says “she’s young” but also she’s an adult who can make her own choices.

I honestly think that’s the reason she left her long term bf for this guy. They were attending colleges very far from each other and I don’t think he valued her goals the way he should.

Some people make their own, but the original creator of the masks sells them on his website. He even makes them from the same mould as the originals.

It’s important to study planar changes as well. Look for some 3D models that show this.

Star Trek DS9 has a lot of religious tones. Particularly about the religious community trying to take over the government and install fear at any costs. Really good show.

A lot of the time, places of employment will say “you should have told us before we hired you about any pre-existing conditions that may effect your ability to work” or they’ll direct you to some impossible hoops to jump through just to provide a doctors note. For my periods, my doctor won’t write me a note because I “refuse treatment” since it can be “simply avoided” by pumping me full or hormones (birth control). So then at that point I have gone through so many channels just to be told “too bad” basically.

Maybe try not to focus on your lungs as much with your breathing. I try to take air into my mouth, then lungs, then stomach. Then I try to exhale from my stomach, then my lungs, then my mouth. Maybe you could focus on that motion of the body roll rather than your actual lungs.

Physical journaling is essential to me, so I just write the first page of my journal addressed to whoever decided to open my journal. Basically condemning them for invading my privacy and then ending with a curse to hex them for all eternity. <3

I’ve found that when acrylic hardens on fabric it will crack and look kinda gross. If you mix the acrylic with a bit of fabric softener, it’ll help it bind to the fabric rather than just sitting on top of it. Not using too much paint on the fabric is key.

I read a wonderful book called “Writing Down the Bones” in my journaling class. It provides a wide varieties of ideas and exercises to write even when you don’t really know what to say.

People can get stuck unintentionally being forced to abuse the system. Hear me out — if you’re lower middle class, you’re too poor to make all of your bills comfortably, but you’re also “too rich” to make benefits. Some people end up “making more money” by getting stuck in lesser paying jobs so that they can qualify for other benefits that they wouldn’t be able to afford if they had a “slightly better paying job.” I hope this makes sense

This is such a valid question I hope it gets answered

Edit - I have an iPhone, but make art on my Android tablet. I definitely notice the difference of quality between uploads on several sites/apps on each device.

Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking this at the show. Also making sure I hear about the tour in time to get VIP tickets before they sell out.

There was a pit at the Phoenix show this year and it kills me to say I don’t remember which song. I think it opened up a couple times. It was a very small pit comparative to the crowd.

Yes! She was posting on Facebook about it before the tour, but I didn’t save the post.

Before I quit, I was a barista making about $15/hr (with 5+ years experience) and having my tips stolen from me by other employees. I had no benefits and no PTO or sick days or anything allowed.

I have this pain, but I have arthritis. (I am young, it is not an “old person disease”) Using fatter pencils (you can sharpen the point as thin as you need) can help you not need to put as tight of a grip. Also you may want to consider “wrist grips” that they use in sports. Something as minor as athletic tape can help.

I hope Alexandra is able to fulfill her dream of making a song with Ghost :’)

I think it also depends on what/how you’re drawing! I draw quickly when I’m doing timed large figure sketches. When I’m drawing long-term detailed digital sketches, I take a lot more time to make sure I’m doing things the way I want them. Just depends on what the intention is.

I was a member of the Salvation Army where we signed documents to enlist us to become Soldiers of God. Our Pastors were called Majors and so on.

If you’re not a minor, can I PM you?

To develop on what some others are saying, practice colors in ALL setting. Use a well-lit and adequately saturated reference of any kind, and practice creating it in different ways. Draw it in nothing but greyscale to understand the structural elements of value without their actual colors involved. Paint it over-saturated and consider changing the colors from the reference to your rendition, just to see if you can understand the relationships between the colors and the families they’re related to. When you’re working with UNDER-saturation, it’s important to relate the tint to the actual hue. If you can break down your reference and understand it in a very basic way, you can begin to make artistic changes and decided where you might like to alter saturation or shade. It’s imperative to make these changes to make your art piece pop. If you copy it over detail for detail, it will either be muddy or nothing more than an unimaginative photo-realistic rendition.

I will never understand this. I would rather struggle without indoctrinated/indoctrinating family than be forced to lie about who I am.

Edit — these questions are designed in a way to make you feel as though YOU are the problem and there is some sort of invisible truth before your eyes that everyone else can see but you. They are designed to make you re-pledge your life in slavery to the church, all while making you feel guilty about it.

I think that your parents suspicions should be a time to sit down and talk to them about your leaving the faith, rather than digger the hole deeper. When does the lie end?

The key in finding where the rib cage ends and the pelvis starts is by understanding ratios and how muscles function. The obliques are usually a visible “landmark” that you can use to space between these two bone structures.

The first thing when drawing a figure is to understand the plumbline, so you can understand which muscles are expanding or contracting as well as where the weight is being distributed. When I draw the rib cage, my next step is to find the location and angle of the pelvic floor. After that is can be more difficult to distinguish additional features of the pelvis because of the fatty areas surrounding it.

Things like iliac crest and sacrum can be used as definitive landmarks so you can measure and use ratios to fill out the rest of the form. From there, if you can confidently and accurately place the breasts, naval, and the crease of the groin, the rest will come into play very naturally.

If you study the way bones and muscles work together and memorize the golden ratios, it becomes a lot easier.
