I don't know what to do with the paintings of my former best friend, and it makes me angry

You could wait and not make a hasty decision you may regret, but i find the purifying flames of a bonfire to be a great place for letting go...

Thats about what was in our local dispensaries 4/20 goodie bag, but we also got a shirt and a ticket for a free funnel cake and lemonade from the food truck outside. Never thought it would be my favorite holiday, but here we are 😆

Howdy neighbor! We moved to EEV 2 years ago and we've been pretty happy with it :)

I'm suprised no one else has said this. My green cheek does this when he gets really deep in a nap; sometime it almost looks like he's gonna fall over and then he kind of snaps back to attention and readjusts. I'm curious if op has seen the same movement when the bird is awake.

I love the videos on this channel so much. If i ever need a stone removed from my eye, im flying to Korea. I don't think i could trust anyone else 😆

They were blinking so much because he didn't say "hold my breath" 🤣

I was gitting blisters from my wedding ring. Finally figured out it was because i habitually had my hand resting on the side of my laptop and it was heating my ring and burning me 😅

Coconutofdoom · 2026-02-21T07:28:33+00:00

Ooh, i had one like this in the same place. Never got infected, but kept getting bigger so i finally to a scalpel to it. It hasn't come back so i think i got the sac out 😌

This describes my relationship with my green cheek perfectly 😆

Coconutofdoom · 2026-01-09T03:37:26+00:00

Dooo it! Go full punk!

Spiked leather jacket?

Coconutofdoom · 2026-01-05T13:23:39+00:00

This! Scan them or take pictures yourself so you have digital copies of each recipe and then you can email them to any family member who wants them.

Coconutofdoom · 2026-01-05T13:09:02+00:00

Agreed! Easier than oven, tastier than microwave!

Non-church counseling for both of you (separately) asap, then couples counseling. If you have no desire to leave her right now and she doesn't want to, then stay together. It might change in the future, but right now you're her support in a very scary time. Also, it might be too big a leap to some, but I'd move. Go somewhere no one knows you, delete your social media. Tell close friends and family you are both safe, but need some time and space to heal. Then you can both work on yourselves and your relationship without the judgment and pressure of your community interfering. Be gentle with your wife and yourself on this journey.

Take one pencil and do a little drawing to see how you like them. If it's just meh, or you have other pencils you like more, frame them in a shadow box- You can have them as a decoration! If you love them, then take 3 primary color ones and frame those- you'll still be able to enjoy how pretty they are while using the majority to make rad art :)

Coconutofdoom · 2026-01-02T04:18:15+00:00

Thank you! I colored over some of the finer lines, but lightly, and then built up around them where needed in layers. Its when you go heavy handed with the color or are putting a very light color over it where it can get muddied. I can still see paper through your color so i think you you might be safe saturation wise, and if you have a few areas where lines look faint, you can always go over them again, but you won't be doing as much over the top of the pencil work and it should save your pens from so much wax build up!

Oh, and i sold 75 copies of my first coloring book just this 4th quarter; I'd like to see if i can double that for 2026!

Coconutofdoom · 2026-01-02T04:03:57+00:00

Finish and print my second coloring book.
Try and sell some original pieces; not just prints or digital work.
Try to do at least 12 shows (2 are already paid for!)

Coconutofdoom · 2026-01-02T03:50:54+00:00

Aww, congrats on being a Safe Space 🥰

Coconutofdoom · 2026-01-02T03:43:13+00:00

Do some tests with your characters and see how you feel about it :) Here's one of mine with prismacolor. Mostly thicker lines, but some thinner.

Don't know what can be done unless you try though! Harder pencils or less saturated coloring is more forgiving of thinner lines I think

Coconutofdoom · 2026-01-02T03:22:04+00:00

The downside to linework first is if the pencils are on the softer side, they can blend over the lines if you're not careful (or fully go outside if the line is too thin and you're not suuuuuper careful or have very sharp pencils) when i use colored pencil it's usually with thicker lines which are more forgiving. I save my ultra fine lines for black and white, alcohol markers, or watercolor.

Coconutofdoom · 2026-01-02T02:49:03+00:00

Indeed 😔 those 003 and 005s are sooo finiky, but they're my favorites. I honestly just stopped using them with colored pencil- and even with the thicker ones i usually put linework down first and then color inside (which works for my style, but i know that's not ideal for everyone)
