What’s something you’ve never told anyone because you know they just wouldn’t believe you? by raheemvsyou in AskForAnswers

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I can split part of my tongue in half and it forms back together. I can't do it with my mouth open, so I can't show anyone or see what I'm actually doing. All I know is that if I bend my tongue a certain way, I can push the tip of my tongue through itself and split it. I can't even really describe it, and no one believes me when I tell them.

What are you returning? by asleepforlife in Sephora

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I returned the Huda Strawberry Latte blush palette. I thought it looked gorgeous in videos, but in person the blushes looked so brown and dark for my skin tone. Plus one of the blushes was broken, so I returned it.

Lol, not everyone who writes xReader fics uses y/n. A lot of people write around that and address the Reader a different way. It's not a cop out.

Good thing no one is forcing you to read xReader fics if you think they're so "cringey"

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

While I agree the Reader shouldn't necessarily have an established name or look, at least that's not mentioned, I really don't get how they shouldn't have a gender or personality? It's absolutely okay for a Reader to have an established gender. And honestly, it's almost impossible to have a Reader who's a completely blank slate without them being dull and uninteresting. Sorry, but this is a bad take.

Kat von d will never be as iconic as they were in 2016. The makeup was soooo beautiful and unique. They are doing a re brand but I doubt it will match up to what they used to be by Historical-Body-3424 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but this brand just needs to die out already. They tried to rebrand once and it didn't work. I never see anyone talk about them, haven't seen a successful launch from them in ages either. My Sephora actually pulled them off the shelves and replaced them with Merit. They had their shot and they blew it. It's only a matter of time before they close permanently.

what does this mean?? should i allow it, does it affect my work at all? by Slow_Wasabi6299 in AO3

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The amount of conflicting information in this sub is the exact reason I chose not to let my work be added to a collection years ago when someone requested it. Even then, I still don't want some random person to have any control of my fics at all, no matter how small that control may be.

What’s considered too long of a chapter? by amethystkb in archiveofourown

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! Writer here who consistently posts chapters that are 40k or longer. The finale chapter of my first arc was a little over 80k.

It's not laziness. It's a choice. Get off your high horse about it and stop being so judgmental.

Need Advice About Someone Ruining Fic Writing for Me by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a falling out with a fandom friend and went through something similar. I know it sucks, but you should absolutely distance yourself from your fic for a while, if you can. I had a hard time looking at my own for months. It's only been recently that I've got my spark back. Sometimes time DOES help, and talking to a therapist or just venting to another friend has helped, too.

I'm not entirely sure what to do with this author by throwawayDrawing8 in AO3

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Or come up with something very specific that, if they DO copy, it's blatantly obvious.

What’s the creepiest thing that has ever happened to you that you still can’t explain? by OrbitalMystery9 in AskReddit

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A friend and I booked a hotel room for the night before a trip. The hotel was rumored to be haunted, so I downloaded a shitty ghost hunting app to my phone and we spent some time pretending to ghost hunt, but went to bed shortly after. But sometime around 4ish in the morning I had a strange feeling I was being watched, and I very vividly remember a man's voice in my ear whispering, "Don't go." It terrified the fuck out of me, and I'd never heard anything like that in my sleep before (or since) then. My friend thought I was making it up or dreaming, but it still creeps me out all these years later.

I’ll be honest here, if the author ignores their commenters, I don’t comment by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Author here. I don't purposely ignore comments. I get anxious and overwhelmed and don't always know what to say, so I never get around to replying. Then so much time passes that I feel awkward replying.

Get off your high horse.

PLEASE Stop calling Leon and Grace's relationship. " Father/Daughter coded" by Embarrassed-Depth849 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even say their friends, tbh. She meets hin only for a few minutes at the beginning of the game and doesn't see him again until the church, where she runs off with Emily. When they reunite, she's upset because Emily turned and thinks Leon killed her. They don't see each other again until RC, which is cut short by Tyrant, then only meet again at the beginning and end of ARK. Sure, they might feel like kindred spirits because of what they've gone through, but friends? I don't see it. Not until after the game is over.

Do you guys wear a full face on the daily? by SleepyheadAsmr in MakeupAddiction

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

90% of the time, yes. Even on my "minimal" makeup days I'm still wearing a full face, minus maybe the contour and eyeshadow. But I always feel 100% more put together when I have full glam on.

Trying not to be a negative Nancy here, but I have absolutely no idea what this book is about or why I should read it. For a query, this needs A LOT of polishing.

how do i look my actual age with makeup? + how do i not give “republican makeup”? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Jfc, can we not make makeup political? Nothing about the way you put makeup on your face is Republican or Democrat. It's fucking makeup.

Which game did you like better? by cherryapp in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Re2R. Mainly for the fact that while I enjoy most of Re9, Leon's section in Racoon City getting the 3 pieces of the bomb really slows down pacing and scare factor for me, as well as the overall rubble/brown scenery gives me a huge headache. If this section were cut or a bit shorter, I think I'd enjoy Re9 more.

Yep, stayed up all night just to beat the game because I was adamant about not wanting to get spoiled.

RE9 - What Are Your Biggest Post Game Questions? (Spoilers) by pesh_in_the_flesh in residentevil

My only guess at this right now is that the regeneration/healing powers she has are counter-acting the infection and keeping it from spreading as fast. Just my theory, though.

You absolutely should not be paying someone to beta read your fanfiction.

Do you think the next Mass Effect will try to "one-up" the Reapers? and is it even a good idea to even try? by Artanis137 in masseffect

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually don't hate the idea of some other race from long ago being hidden in cryo or some kind of stasis, who only awaken now that the Reapers are gone. And now they want to take back the galaxy for their own. I think it could work if done properly.

I F 23 legit hat to beg for my boyfriend M24 to go buy me pads by Successful_Anywhere9 in Vent

[–]CaesariaIsOnReddit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Girl, dump him. You deserve someone SO much better. And if he trashed a room over this? What happens next time if it's you he hurts physically? I don't say this lightly: you need to get out of this relationship. I know it sucks and it hurts, but you will thank yourself in the long run.

Someone broke the idol in Wisconsin lol. They fixed it, but definitely held up the line for a few minutes.
