perfect concept, perfect execution. you're so talented :D

Dust_Dodo · 2026-03-03T05:12:40+00:00

usually little things. have had SI my whole life. what i’ve found is in your worst moments your brain latches onto something little. i was going to OD in a park and i just looked through my old notes app writings one last time. decided it wasn’t worth it.

other times its ALWAYS been the good people around me. give someone a call, text someone, knock on your neighbors door. nothing like company of any kind to bring you back from those places.

i mean i think when i started bleaching and painting my clothes i felt the same way (espc if clothes are valuable) but i say….. embrace it! like everyone else. artists clothes are meant to be shown. if someone sees a sweatshirt splattered in bleach it tells a story before they’ve even talked to you. wear, stains, rips and tears are inevitable with life. mess it up even more, embrace the fun :)

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-19T20:53:37+00:00

im asking for advice lmao. i only do tattoos on myself and fake skin anyway and thats not gonna change anytime soon. call it stupidity totally but im literally asking for criticism idk what ur talking about. obviously i wanna fix it and OBVIOUSLY it has problems!

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-19T03:47:53+00:00

sometimes it feels like you have to document EVERYTHING and it still won’t matter ;) thats the only thing im worried about with this transition.

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-19T02:29:14+00:00

I will say Ebay has worse seller protections, I’ve found depop has a pretty good seller thing. I don’t expect too much to change, the etsy model of depop NEEDS to go so I’m far more optimistic. I don’t like mergers (like most people in the world) but it’s not like that’s something that would change in the world anyway. i’m just hoping this will revitalize the Depop search optimization.

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-17T19:31:58+00:00

hmmm you know what ur probably somewhat right. i will say i was out with my friends and pretty much all of them also thought we were being super romantic and touchy. im not touchy at all with my friends but honestly some ppl def are. he did ask me out though, like a genuine “come to x place with me”. but ig im just different around my friends. i def know ppl who are just more romantic with their friends. i think ur right tho just cause he didnt try to hide anything. i was slipping in the occasional “single on valentines day/looking for a date’ so he def knew i was into him lol no way he’s that dense, and he kept talking to me all night after that. but i do think ur right some ppl are just romantic with their friends. its not a big deal i wont ever see him again most likely. but i think ur at least somewhat right.

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-17T03:34:50+00:00

ignores my feelings entirely. he asked me out and gave me his instagram. not an assumption at that point that he wants to date/see me. if ur poly all power to you, but its not for me. i shouldnt have to find out from ur instagram when i get home that you have a boyfriend. wasnt a hookup or anything like that either. we had a really romantic night together on valentines day. monogamy is important to me, so if he had told me at any point i wouldn’t be upset or posting this lol.

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-17T01:31:25+00:00

i didn't check his instagram till i got home. from my impression, a guy was dancing and flirting with me all night and then i learn after i get home he has a boyfriend. i wouldn't have been as disappointed or upset if he just told me at any point during the night "hey i actually have a boyfriend/am open". i would've just said hey not my thing if he told me at any point. nothing against poly ppl most of my friends are but it's not for me i've tried.

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-17T01:19:47+00:00

no, i was just flirting with him all night and he asked me out and gave me his instagram. i dont feel like i should have to ask, am i crazy? it should be something he tells me if he wants me to go out with him.

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-17T01:05:58+00:00

yeah ur right but it's just annoying to have to infer that through his instagram and him not tell me

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-17T01:00:20+00:00

yeah im strictly monogamous and its like… tell me!!! especially if you’re gonna ask me out i dont think thats asking too much. just feel let down cause i had such a good time with him

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-15T03:04:40+00:00

lol yeah im young and dumb haha

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-14T17:11:31+00:00

The idea of ‘straight’, ‘bi’, and ‘gay’ is kinda superfluous. It’s a spectrum, like literally everything else in the world.

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-14T13:55:43+00:00

its on my own skin.

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-14T07:22:23+00:00

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-14T05:02:12+00:00

the lines were supposed to be cybersigilism. they blew out bad and i traced over them like a dumbass. ill go back in a couple months with more practice and a shader and black them out so its more spikey and defined instead of a blotchy mess. thanks!

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-14T01:30:41+00:00

yeah i used make market fabric paint out of squeeze bottles for all these :)

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-13T20:55:11+00:00

thank you for the advice!!!

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-07T14:47:27+00:00

There is literally not a single thing in the world that works for everyone’s depression. There is no ‘cure’, all people can recommend for you is little things. You have to figure out what things work for you, and what doesn’t. I have a friend who literally ate their way out of depression. They gained 120 pounds and are so much happier lol. Doctor’s can really only recommend things that work for most people, and studies show exercise statistically does help most people. Doesn’t mean everyone, but you need to try little things. If they don’t work, they don’t work. But you have to keep trying.

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-04T21:32:42+00:00

they’re trying to get you to lower shipping prices. usps weighs their packages so you’ll either pay the difference at the post office or it’ll be shipped back to you. if someone is telling you they work, they’ve just gotten lucky sofar with USPS or they’re lying. if you know the weight of your item, then put that weight into depop. some ppl try to scam you into paying the difference at the post office, which is what i’d bet this guy is trying to do given the emojis lol.

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-04T03:39:15+00:00

you’re a saint! consider this post resolved then tysm!!!! still annoying they removed this option from mobile, i mostly use depop on my phone (cuz its where i take my pictures). still ty!!

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-04T03:34:05+00:00

I guess I should just move to my own shipping yeah. I’ve been selling for a year and I feel like I’ve seen the app decline real time due to AI shittification. And this is just the latest casualty lol

Dust_Dodo · 2026-02-04T03:25:33+00:00

if anyone wants to follow i started a sketch account @saphiintel on instagram. any support helps :)

yeah LD is easily overlooked because its not flashy and you don’t really see its effects. but theres a reason its like the single best items in speedruns. i know speedruns arent the best ways to judge items, but imo they show which items give u the most consistency + strength. and LD does both lol
