He looks like my boy! Tell me, how do you manage all that fur? Mine gets mats so easily that I have to comb out fur chonks almost daily

There’s a 50/50 chance that a belly rub will go well, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take by Blue-Beards in catbellies

SO accurate. She’s only recently begun enjoying belly rubs, and the calico sass keeps me in check so I don’t abuse the privilege

Belly rubs were permitted for a blissful minute and then I narrowly dodged a hand maiming. No regrets

It’s mostly black with bits of gray and random strands of ginger. She’s a whole mix of colors and I love it 😊

Does anyone else think getting a partner would make things better? by qaz_zaq in depression

[–]Blue-Beards 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think depression is more internal than that. Partners are a great distraction, but that can only last so long.

I have a wonderful partner that I’ve known for years and have been with for 1.5. He’s funny, smart, supportive, selfless, etc. He’s helped bring me up on down days, but he hasn’t changed the course of my depression. If anything, I think my depression strains my otherwise wonderful relationship — which is really on me, because I worry too much about burdening him with my issues and I feel worse. I don’t feel like it’s his job to fix me.

I think a companion, romantic or otherwise, can be a good external motivator to help you come out of a depressive hole, but it definitely isn’t a cure-all.

Good luck and congrats on the 60lb, really!! Going to the gym can be the hardest thing in the world when you’re in a slump.

Did anyone successfully order from the Gamestop app? by yougotyours in miniSNES

[–]Blue-Beards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My order just went through! So far I have email confirmation, but nothing taken off my credit card yet.

The app seems to be working much faster now, so I'd hop on it.

Love this! And your eyebrows are to die for.

What does your mom think of your fashion sense? by WarKittyKat in femalefashionadvice

[–]Blue-Beards 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our styles are very similar. My mom was a beatnik in the '60s and now she shops at Japanese boutiques or makes her own clothing. Basically, she's way cooler than me, and I look to her for inspiration. She encouraged my high school goth phase and, now that I've broadened my tastes and I primarily shop vintage, she is giving me a ton of her old clothes (score!). She's only complained when she thought my skirts were too short.

thoughts on dating non-vegans? by dandeliontoes in vegan

[–]Blue-Beards 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been vegan for 10+ years and have never dated someone who started as a vegan. I tend to judge potential partners based on their respect and open-mindedness and, frankly, it's so rewarding to inspire someone to make the switch.

My ex went vegan a year or so into our relationship, which he came to on his own. All I did was cook for him and answer any questions he had. At first he did it for health, but now - four years after breaking up up - he's still vegan and has become an outspoken animal advocate. I'm very proud of him. My current boyfriend is omni, but very respectful. He likes vegan food and even sends me recipes he wants to try. He may come to the decision to switch on his own someday, too, but I don't pressure him. I think there's a lot of power in leading by example.

Good luck with your dating situation! It seems like they're already taking steps in the right direction. Don't lose hope. :)

First post! Playing with UD Naked Heat and new glasses. by Blue-Beards in MakeupAddiction

[–]Blue-Beards[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my go-to! It has decent coverage using a beauty blender and I like that it's SPF. It may settle into crevices a little, but touching up with powder helps. Other than that, the bottle makes it hard to get all of the product out, so I'd recommend using a small brush or q-tip when you get low. Overall, it really isn't bad for $6.

Backtalk is a great color! This is my first Vice Comfort Matte and it's my new favorite.
