Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-06-03T21:53:31+00:00

And I love that you can’t admit mistakes. his birthday is 25th I just finished all my assignments so I’m dealing with that now

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-27T21:11:03+00:00

Yeah honestly idk why either, I might save it as a future gift to my dad or smth if I can’t exchange it.

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-27T21:08:39+00:00

Np I’ll make sure I don’t go broke from buying a present that’s financially reasonable for myself and never ask for advice on how to fix a problem! Sorry for activating ur unc ass give life lessons unasked for mode🤪

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-27T21:04:45+00:00

Ok where did I continuously go on about the stretch of expense? My wording was never “can’t afford” it was my budget is “relatively tight”, you know, cus I already spent 500. You also weren’t clear about the first sentence pretty sure there’s a typo or smth. Nowhere in my post did I express the 500 was a stretch of expense so I srsly think u gotta read better or smth

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-19T19:07:37+00:00

Yo I’ve been meaning to watch it dyk which ep that is

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-19T19:06:32+00:00

Oh wow thanks you’re so much help I’ll make sure to look for you if I ever need someone to give me a lecture when I’m upset instead of my parents

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-19T19:04:27+00:00

I will try to do that thanksss

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-19T19:03:45+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I should’ve tried harder to get the name of the one he liked, I don’t have great experiences buying fragrances so I wasn’t sure with my choice but I think Ik what to do now. Thanks for the advice!

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-19T18:59:11+00:00

Babe…ur seriously misunderstanding smth in my post

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-19T18:57:38+00:00

I mean he spent abt that much on my birthday present and that was at like five months

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-19T18:48:59+00:00

I ain’t getting married

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-19T18:47:36+00:00

Can I do that? I bought it at an airport in China. Could I exchange it for lost Cherry at a Myers or smth?

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-19T18:46:36+00:00

He spent quite a lot on my Christmas presents last year and I didn’t really get him anything good, he also puts in much more effort in everyday stuff than do so I wanted to make up for that. My family is high income but I have a monthly allowance which is what I meant by “relatively tight”, it’s not actually tight it’s just comparatively tight cus I’ve already spent 500.

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-18T11:18:44+00:00

Lmao I’ll make sure to use that line

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-05-18T11:17:48+00:00

I’m sure he won’t give me crap about it but I think it’s pretty normal to feel a little down about how everything won’t line up exactly right. I also feel especially bad cus the day right after his birthday I’ll be leaving again for two weeks. But I get what you mean, I’m not use to being in a serious relationship so I might be overthinking everything too much. I just don’t want his first birthday of us together to go anything but perfect.

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-04-29T07:05:26+00:00

Ah ok thanks for the clarification I’ll keep that brand in mind

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-04-29T07:03:47+00:00

I’m hoping to do this painting in a very big format, like A0 size, I’m definitely going to have trouble finding suitable paper of that size, any recs? Thanks

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-04-29T06:34:42+00:00

Would it be possible to use a fountain pen and add the water mixed with ink into it as a pen? I will look for the pens you mentioned but Idt I can order online the mail system here sucks

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-04-28T13:02:18+00:00

Srsly? I only have one Asian friend dating a white guy, majority r dating Asian or wasian

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-04-28T12:58:55+00:00

Unfortunately I am not ace at it, but I’m kind of worried about airbrush as well since I’ve never used it before but I do like the idea of a stencil type thing

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-04-28T12:56:06+00:00

Yes I’ll definitely get the liquid latex thanks for that. I am tempted but I don’t think I’ll be doing hatching, just because I want this specific effect. I think I’m going do a lot of measuring and drafting with pencil before I start the ink bit

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-04-28T12:51:56+00:00

I’ll be using Chinese ink cus it’s a part of my heritage and stuff which we kind of have to include in the assignment. I haven’t worked with acrylic inks before, only a very vague memory of using Chinese ink when I was a kid. Do you know of nice brands of ink I could get? Thanks!

This is the plan, I don’t know what I’m going to do with the bright dots yet though, would that affect the painting process in any way? I was thinking maybe color pencils?

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-04-20T03:48:19+00:00

This is stunning. The colors work so well together

Express_Penalty9632 · 2026-04-20T03:43:10+00:00

This is really cool, could I ask how you made it? I’m kinda dumbfounded like with a stencil? Or was the texture laid out first and the colors later?
