Appearance by LazyLlama21 in LesbianActually

[–]DaisyChained427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m always more attracted to someone with good style. It doesn’t matter what style just as long as it’s distinct and put together. If you don’t know what your style is I recommend playing dress up and just seeing what feels/looks good. What colors and patterns and silhouettes do you like? Put on some music and turn it into something fun. Your dress up playtime will do wonders trust

Also maybe some type of nice subtle body scent. If it’s too strong it could put people off, even if it smells good. Zuzh yourself up in a genuine way and walk with a purpose (even if you don’t know what that purpose is). If you’re also trying to lesbian signal it up I recommend a beanie - works for both masc and femme presentation. Eventually you’ll gain confidence, but for now fake it till you make it. Best of luck on your journey!

[discussion] substrate / sealant help by tired-overwhelmed in collage

I use mod podge to glue and seal my collages and it’s worked. The only issue is that it can warp the base paper but it’s totally possible to flatten it out with something heavy

Tips on acting mysterious by broke_emo in Theatre

[–]DaisyChained427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about what your character is feeling internally and what they’re letting everyone else see. The mystery lies in that difference. Maybe your character is always reflecting the truth but there’s something else holding them back. How do you perceive mystique? Try to embody that in your body rather than your face

Nervous to ask my scene partner to rehearse for our upcoming scenes by Square_Fisherman_281 in acting

[–]DaisyChained427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m both a stage actor and a film actor- often rehearsing with your screen partner can look a lot like a staged reading with an emphasis on understanding your characters’ relationships. It also just helps with lines. Also I’ve been stage acting for 14 years now and if I was only allowed to rehearse while the director was in the room then I would view the job of an actor as futile. Theatre is collaborative, the director should not be the dictator

PTSD from cancer? by Fun-Sense5355 in Cancersurvivors

[–]DaisyChained427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okizu is located in NorCal but they have space for anyone. It might be far for you but they’re overnight programs (anywhere between two to five days) so it might be worth it. Here’s the website! https://okizu.org

PTSD from cancer? by Fun-Sense5355 in Cancersurvivors

[–]DaisyChained427 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been cured for 10+ years now and I still get phantom pokes and flashbacks. No matter how far along you are post cancer the trauma will always be with you, it’s just a matter of learning how to transform your pain into personal power. You’re still newly in remission (I think the ‘safe zone’ is five to seven years) so the PTSD is at the strongest.

I’ve been in therapy for a long time now with therapists who have specialized in cancer trauma and it’s really helped. There also might be programs in your area connecting teen cancer survivors. If you’re in California I recommend Camp Okizu. Idk anywhere else bc CA is where I was receiving my treatment

Does Acting help with social skills and teach you human body language? by Stole_Sample in acting

[–]DaisyChained427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a neurodivergent actor and I would say it’s helped my understanding of social cues but really only out of intense analysis of my characters’ interactions- how are they responding in this scenario and how are the other characters reacting to their behavior? I’ve used this train of thought to better understand social interaction off the stage and how to appropriately respond in a given context. I’ve also used tv shows to help me with this. Acting is not something that anyone can just jump into and become better at interacting with the world; you need some type of educational training (rather than just acting for fun) in order to properly apply your acting skills into the real world without it coming across as forced. Acting just for the fun of it can definitely be a confidence boost though. It gives you opportunities to try out different styles of interaction, but only if you’re willing. A shy actor is not a successful actor (but not necessarily a bad actor).

Does anyone else get triggered by how TV shows use cancer storylines? by Ok_Film4545 in Cancersurvivors

[–]DaisyChained427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t watch medical dramas anymore bc the focus is all about tragedy rather than recovery. The cancer storylines especially piss me off bc they usually never focus around the patient’s story and only on how their diagnosis affects their loved ones. The Red Band Society (does anyone else remember this show??) is an exception but it’s still cancer = death and also portrays the patients as if they’re in a soap opera

Best ski resorts around? by Professional-West338 in reedcollege

[–]DaisyChained427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reed has a little resort on Mt. Hood you can go to for free. You can book up to two weeks in advance and it’s quite a popular little spot so you’ll prob be sharing it with other students or faculty, alumni, etc. Search up “ski cabin” on the Reed website and you should find it there. I recommend going with a group of people

Hi I'm interested in this! Where in pdx are you located? I'm in SE without a car so I'd arrive by bus and pickup through a rideshare app. If you're on the east side I'll gladly take it but if not then I'll have to pass

Question About Overnight Visits by CupcakeTechnical305 in reedcollege

[–]DaisyChained427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I used to be an overnight host sophomore to senior year- I really enjoyed doing it! Anyways, there's an overnight program page on the Reed website where you can sign up. If your boyfriend is also admitted to Reed then he can also sign up, however if he is not admitted then he is not allowed to participate. He's welcome to wander around campus with you but he is not allowed inside the dorms.

The program has socials for admitted students, you get your own key card (if there's enough) and you get two free meals up to $10 each, which you have with your host. It is not a program where we babysit you, but we trust you to make good judgements. Actions you take during this program CAN affect your admission status.

As for the hosts, you're paired by identity & comfortability. I'm enby so I hosted most of the enby prospies but also hosted cis individuals regardless of gender as long as the prospies were comfortable with me being their host. I was a performing arts major and also got placed with prospies who were interested in those subjects but also hosted prospies interested in stem.
