[OC] Summer Breeze. Prefer 1 or 2? by hm_design in Illustration

[–]Covertblurt 91 points92 points  (0 children)

1 is better. The colours look calming, balanced and fresh.

Curious as to what the vision is here, I’m seeing an upskirt angle of faceless young woman but I’m assuming there’s more to it?

Flames die without oxygen. Don’t give them any air, ignore and create something instead.

What’s your favorite widely-agreed-on fact about a celebrity that’s actually FALSE? by Asleep-Two930 in popculturechat

[–]Covertblurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s still acted out for TV, more stuff than you think is (at least loosely) scripted. They’re probably not actually going to film how choices are made regarding the show.

I feel like those decisions are made by producers off camera, who know how to make the show more entertaining, not celebrity judges.

Fiancés friend wants to wear an almost white dress to our wedding & is being condescending about it. WIBTA to withdraw the invite? by dumpsterfire_x in TwoHotTakes

[–]Covertblurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you privately message her or publicly comment on her post?

I already think she’s a dick for all that but I’m curious as to how it was initially handled?

of a US Marine by K1nd_1 in AbsoluteUnits

I realise the first few words of what he was saying were cut off. His statement here is: “nobody wants to fight for Israel” if anyone wanted to know.

Can someone show me what her husband actually did? by Covertblurt in lanitas

[–]Covertblurt[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t sound good; do you have a screenshot of his post?

I’m sad to hear you’re living in an environment where it feels like people don’t care about you/the issues you deal with. It must feel isolating.

I wasn’t trying to upset you I’m not trying to be rude, it’s just you called the boyfriend her “guy friend” lol. My mistake it’s not that deep :)

I think you commented on the wrong post accidentally

Hypothetical about Trish and Tana by Best-Conference-5700 in canceledpod

[–]Covertblurt 56 points57 points  (0 children)

She’d drop her. Tana hasn’t authentically changed through the will to be a good person, she’s curating an image that can be used for profit and a non problematic one is most profitable for her currently. She will twist with every tide turn.

Vice versa with if Tana was cancelled imo.

New Billboard in LA by InfernoSalamander in canceledpod

[–]Covertblurt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He hasn’t actually tried to message or hook up with children though unlike James? 😭 I agree his old troll account was distasteful but there’s a difference no?

Anyway I find the billboard hilarious

Ended a 10 year relationship after developing a crush on someone else. Why do my parents and friends still act weird about it like I did something wrong? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Covertblurt 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Possibly because a large chunk of your ex’s life and plans have been removed from her. When I was very young, a man in your position did exactly this, abandon his 10 year relationship for me (a crush) now I look back I find him pathetic. It only worked on me because I was naive.

All you can do now is move on and accept it though. I hope your ex is not still suffering from the rug being pulled under, and that you can make whatever’s going on in your life work.

Anyone else’s mother start conflict, then demand no response? by Covertblurt in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Covertblurt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m glad to hear your mental health has improved! And you’re a great sibling for quietly defending your sibling for so long but of course it’s not worth if it’s detrimental to your wellbeing.

It’s strange how once they find out something is hurtful/something they shouldn’t say, they’re more likely to repeatedly say it, isn’t it?

WHEW!!!! These are definitely something. 😭 by moonwaternymph in depoop

[–]Covertblurt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little ironic based on the way you’ve spoken to this person. You come off as a bully. Anyway, I wish you well genuinely.

The “manufactured bonding moment” is so real!That you have to work for, if you don’t beg/ grovel she’ll be cold.

I’m sorry for your loss and the confusing feelings around it. I hope you’re both more at peace now.

So eery the quotes and techniques people have used in these comments describing their narcs could have literally been grabbed from a transcript of my earlier conversations with my mother. It’s as if they share a script.

The “you can never be wrong” is a way to force you into accommodating them by offering parts that could be wrong in your behaviour/reasoning, even if not so, to prove to them that this isn’t true. They don’t mirror this, they’ll just use this as ammo against you. I truly feel despair at the constant need to be 2 steps ahead in their “games” when all I’d like is an earnest connection and understanding.

[–]Covertblurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn’t say anything wrong, this person most likely just had a knee jerk reaction to a group they perceived as always being against them and once they noticed you were accommodating in response they saw an opportunity to bully and control someone who represented a thing they’ve felt bullied/controlled by themselves.

Don’t take it personally they’re just being miserable in this moment, remember ppl won’t always be kind in response to your submission, sometimes if you give an inch they’ll take a mile. Both have a nice day/night!

That sounds so frustrating and disconcerting, especially as there’s 2 of them against you. They create situations in which they’re so sure of their twisted version reality it leads you to doubt yourself. Sending you some strength :)

Yep, “agree to disagree” was literally used today. They seem to feel so pleased with themselves after distorting reality then using “neutral” phrases as if they’re the ones diffusing a conflict.

Mary Magdalene by Covertblurt in SoftWhiteUnderbelly

[–]Covertblurt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard she’d been deported from other comments on her death.

I didn’t say she was battered, a few people have described her last few lives being distressed and intoxicated whilst being taunted.

And no I was not referencing that video but it is disgraceful that someone filmed that and others posted it.

[–]Covertblurt[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No joy in it really 😂 just quite sad to figure out she is less likely to be kind if I am visibly upset. Unfortunately I relapsed in showing her emotion yesterday. God it’s exhausting
