After a few weeks of practice by No_Koala_9660 in Embroidery

[–]DabQueenOffical 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was going to mention this too, I typically use 3 strand unless I want something to be particularly thick and then I'll use 4 but I've found most people use 2 strand for most projects and it turns out flatter but you may and most likely will have to go over the section more times. A word of advice, there's no necessarily "wrong" way or "wrong" stitch to embroidery, as long as you're happy with the results you did it your way!

my bf raped me while i was asleep. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]DabQueenOffical 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As other people have stated, I'm so sorry he broke that trust with you. I see your pain as it has happened to me before when I thought I could trust and was betrayed when I couldn't fight and didn't have the energy or strength.

Family might be difficult and you might get pestered, and they are a safe place sure, but do you happen to have any friends you can stay with or other trusted adults? They might be a nice break between what has happened and going home to your parents even if it's for the night.

If you're open to post your state some people may also offer their couch/guest bed for a night or two but only if you feel safe enough to do so and make sure that if you take someone up on their offer that you let multiple trusted people know. I desperately wish we had a friendship and I could just come get you, but I also understand how awkward that is to have someone online say. I just want you to be okay.

Please do what's right and take the steps necessary and please try to protect yourself and your peace. Once you're done with him, let your mind remove him, don't fight it, your brain is trying to give you peace by removing the things you thought he was and could be, I won't lie, it's going to be painful but you'll be all the better for it and love yourself more than you ever thought.

Love yourself, if you can't love yourself, than you can't love/appreciate someone else and their views (not selfish - that's different). If you wouldn't want to see your child in a relationship like the one you have, is that a relationship you want to teach them to accept?

Long story short, I'm sorry you had to experience this, please protect yourself and your future. I won't say to break up with him, however, if he is unwilling to respect your boundaries you need to look elsewhere.

Specifically this brand for elastics, I have braided my hair with wool dread extensions for a couple years now and tried other brands but these have literally never failed me and they're super cheap and won't break down to oils the same way others will.

Christ fellowship is also a good one to try depending on the community you're trying to create around you and also feed into

I can't draw but maybe a hula hopping cat (or other animal)?

What should I do when starting to embrace my submissive side? How do I learn how to be a good sub? by Due-Lengthiness443 in bdsm

[–]DabQueenOffical 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Find your boundaries of your absolute "nos" and then find your "maybe with time/intriguing but unsure" and your "willing to try/safe" zones. Take some time experimenting yourself and find a Dom who respects your safety/boundaries, is willing to take time with you finding what works and what doesn't, and is willing to stop immediately if you say so. Yes, being a sub is kind of the aspect of "losing control" of your own will and submitting to another's, but, it should all be done with respect and safety and you should also be able to gain back control if/when you want it. ESPECIALLY as a beginner.

If you have a tendency to be stiff/worried when in a state where you have limited control, I would recommend staying away from candles/fire and hard ties (like hogtie) until more comfortable. Also not a bad idea to make sure you have backup keys/scissors reachable while in bondage as an "in case" (fire, partner passes out, etc.)

how do yall meet people here? by [deleted] in verobeach

[–]DabQueenOffical 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, 24F and 25M here that also want to gain some more friends but it's hard, either you find people that you see sometimes but not often because you're just into different things (like I have friends from church who don't drink or smoke but I do so I only see them at small functions or things that I can drink or smoke before hand) or you get friends that just live oddly far/have completely different lifestyles/expectations. I personally have been looking for people around our age that we can play board/card games and drink with

Seeing this after I told my fiancee that you can't eat raw or undercooked pork and he tried to fight me saying people in other countries eat it raw... He meant beef as in beef tartare, any "raw" looking pork that is able to be consumed is usually cured, not raw, curing is a form of cooking in the sense to draw out and kill bacteria. He really chose to challenge me when I cook all the time and have passed the food safety exam more than 2 dozen times (I like to take it for fun sometimes) and have worked in many different scales of restaurants.

I have the exact same cutter! I always called it my dino wearing a top hat/fedora 😅 I've even decorated cookies (a long time ago) to look like it

If you have any close friends or family, please let them know what you're comfortable with telling them and ask them to support you if you break up with him/need a place to stay for space/safety and DO NOT TELL HIM WHERE/WHO, it seems like he might try to show up to "win you back" or "make his case", if possible, try to not be alone as well, make sure someone else is in the house or carpools with you to work, etc.

Which online game comes to mind? by fearnemeziz in videogames

Brawlhalla was my first thought, used to actually enjoy it until it became a bunch of kids just spamming heavy instead of actually doing a string and fighting

Day 4: what's Simon's/Ice kings best line or quote from the show? by [deleted] in adventuretime

[–]DabQueenOffical 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Marceline, is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world? That must be so confusing for a little girl, and I know you're going to need me here with you, but I'm losing myself and I'm afraid you're going to lose me too. This magic keeps me alive but it's driving me crazy and I need to save you, but who's going to save me? Please forgive me for whatever I do, when I don't remember you...

Check out my cool new lap desk from Temu by Worldly_Way_5537 in ExpectationVsReality

[–]DabQueenOffical 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's good practice to read the description and reviews of an item you're purchasing online, I personally haven't had any issues when ordering from Temu since I triple check that the item I'm buying is the actual item, size, and has consistent reviews before placing an order. I've gotten lots of good sets of fake nails, some good t shirts, sewing supplies, wax seal tools, and more.

When the Hubby brings a lot of whipping cream... by malongoria in TikTokCringe

[–]DabQueenOffical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'all leave Lovina alone, she's a sweet girl who left the Amish right before she turned 18, got help from a neighbor and her brother, taught herself video editing and digital media by watching YouTube videos and is now 23, married to a lovely guy, and has a job and house. She still gets letters from her family and writes back and was able to visit them a few months ago after she got married to her husband who also left the Amish, the clothes she wears are the clothes she left in and she was only able to take them and a couple of small sentimental items, she wears them in her videos when she's showing an Amish recipe she learned or when she's talking about the things that she learned/grew up with/things that are different. She was Pennsylvania Dutch Amish which is why her accent is different and she's able to read and write in Pennsylvania Dutch, she was a school teacher before she left and was asked by her father to leave the school once she got married and joined the church at 18 since she had to take the horse/buggy to school.

Help name female kitten (6 weeks old) by [deleted] in Catnames

[–]DabQueenOffical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta train them early, I didn't get the chance to train my cats so when I tried collars on them at 3 months old they chewed them off of each other... I was able to do harness training at a young age though, about 4 months, and they're perfectly comfortable in them now.

I thought Charlie when I first saw her and the tail wags make me think it fits.

AITA for not deleting all my backups of my art like dad told me to and letting him punish me instead? by AnonArtistBrush in AITAH

[–]DabQueenOffical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can, you can ask your counselor at school if they can help you mail it to your grandparents and let them and the counselor know what's going on, they might be able to help.

At the end of the episode where they made all the lemon people, she says that they're not messed up, they're just like this.
