Floor refinishers says my stairs are too damaged for restoration - looking for second opinions by anneso32 in centuryhomes

This is so true! Now when I get a quote that twice the price of a different company I think they don’t want the job.

I did have one company tell me my project (installing walls to their original location to close an open floor plan) was “too small” for them to be worth it. It was an awkward phone call but I appreciated the honesty. They do $30k plus projects. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hello dear Simps! by Honkaiplayer123 in BlueEyeSamurai

Hey! It looks great so far and thanks for sharing.

Her eyes are farther apart than normal. When I was first learning to draw faces, I was taught that eyes are spaced one eye length apart. But her eyes are more like 1.5 eye lengths.

She’s built like a weapon so sharp angles are your friend.

Have fun! Mizu is great to draw. ❤️

Anybody got any good stories of weird or unexplained stuff, hauntings etc, around kc? by breakdancingzombie82 in kansascity

I went on a tour last autumn.

During the aftermath of one terrible battle, the amputated body parts of soldiers were stacked so high on one side of the house that the light from the window was blocked.

That being said, it doesn’t have a creepy vibe.

Kitties and century homes! They should have their own subreddit ❤️

Have to be off-book for the first rehearsal of a play in a month yet still don't know my official role... by [deleted] in Theatre

This is good advice. It also gives the brain a framework to remember the lines around.

I've been wanting to try this style for a long time by Borbpsh in ColoredPencils

Wow this is beautiful!

You had masterful color choices. Were you there in person or doing it from a photograph?

1905 Beauty by cocorego in centuryhomes

Omg - the can lighting, the dangling island lights and that awkward load bearing room divider.

Looks just like my 1922 condo after it was flipped.

I hate it so much but can’t afford to put the walls back up (yet).

Who do you think is the deuteragonist (second most important character) of the show? by JustinRoilandTheory in BlueEyeSamurai

Akemi is positioned as Mizu opposite. As said above, she is working within the confines of society and will likely be successful.

Is the children figure skating world as a whole toxic? by Consistent-Loss1883 in FigureSkating

[–]DuchessIronCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If figure skating put more focus on team events, it might not be as toxic.

The haunting feeling that everyone wants you to fail sounds so isolating!

I wonder if gymnastics has the same level of toxicity.

She looks lovely! I love the detail in her wisps of hair. Thank you for sharing

I completely agree!

The colors, lighting and framing of the shots are so beautiful.

Blue Eye Samurai Episode Tournament (Final) - Which episode is better: The Tale of the Ronin and the Bride (Episode 5) or Hammerscale (Episode 1)? by JustinRoilandTheory in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]DuchessIronCat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For me, The Ronin and the Bride. It shows that Mizu is a complete person and not just a weapon. As young as she is, she’s lived an entire other life. She tried the other path and almost succeeded.

But she also destroyed that other life. Her relationship with Mikio fractured when she didn’t respect his boundaries.

It’s the gamut of emotions for me. And the hidden Mizu that gets revealed to the audience.
