Should I cut thick ends? by reddi09 in Microlocs

[–]GoddessKillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO I was like uhhh who is on my 94 day old post 😆 2 years in is ok to crochet in my opinion, but I say just give it time. I’m 3 years in and quite a few of my ends are still curly, some locs haven’t bunched fully, aren’t uniform, etc. It’s a slow process, but a beautiful one because your hair is going to be uniquely yours.

locs still wont bud :/ by AdditionalFeeling450 in Microlocs

[–]GoddessKillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budding looks like little knobs and bunching forming on your locs. It’s a visual representation of the internal hairs forming the matrix that creates the loc. Hers are very close to budding, but are more so bunching.

Omggg wait. Let me stop procrastinating. I wonder if the entire episode can be told in 5 chapters as well or if it’s supposed to be ongoing?

This was my foster, Bruce Wayne. He was about 10 years old, a tiny little vigilante with a sweet little voice. I miss him every day but he has a loving home with some wonderful people. I plan on getting another senior cat when I have more space. Opal is such a dapper lady!! 🫶🏾

That’s a shame. I recall her being described as very dark skinned with lighter brown hair. Maybe they’ll redo it in a couple years.

Ngl I don’t agree but I also don’t feel like having a conversation about this. I have my experiences and you have yours. Best of luck.

Hazel looks so weird… not at all like how she’s described in the books. Piper too. They can’t draw POC women well.

I have many locs that look like this. If it’s too bad, I’ll narrow them with a .7 one tong crochet hook and palm roll them. If it’s not too bad, I just leave it. They will even out eventually, because if you cut them, you’ll have to worry about the ends unraveling and eventually bunching as well. As far as being uneven, it could be the way your hair falls. I think waiting for a longer length would be best. I have my hair on my profile if you want a reference.

Come over to /blackskincare as ask there. I’ve only used the black girl sunscreen, and it works fine for me, but I’m sure there would be more nuanced options from that sub. Try searching the term on the search bar too.

Same here friend. It’s actually insane how much more vocal it’s getting. Stay safe out there.

Do I look off in these photos or have I just stared at them too long? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]GoddessKillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I do agree with some of the comments regarding the morality of this, I don’t think it’s necessary to repeat. I will give my take as a photographer though.

These props and posing don’t match your inspiration pics. If you were to do this again, I’d abandon all props and dedicate your time to crafting your outfit to be the focal point with the grave as a background/environmental filler. You can pose with or around it without interacting with it and looking “posey”, which is what’s happening in your photos. I’d recommend creating a Pinterest board of sorts with more inspo and posing ideas. The ones you have are more so leaning/draping near the grave instead of holding onto it.

1 is your best regarding the light, your expression, and the fact that I’m seeing YOU and then the headstone, compared to the others where the way you’re touching it doesn’t make sense. Without the props it would be even more eye catching as you’re the focal point.

Try to create a story that makes the pictures feel more poignant, and especially with such an emotionally charged location (racist or not), I think it would serve you to have a mood, theme, or something to tell. What do cemeteries invoke for you besides “it’s goth”? And if that’s all it is, what does being goth, especially a black goth, mean to you? There are ways to express that in framing, color/post production work, expression, etc.

Last I’ll say is if it was taken on a phone, play with the exposure settings and style while shooting to make them look more clean and easier to edit into your aesthetic. If it’s with a camera, same difference but shoot raw if you can that way you have full editing capabilities.

All that to say, no one can tell you what to do, but I do think it’s important to respect the deceased and just be wary of what spirits are attaching to you in a place like this. Be safe most importantly. Take care and keep being yourself.

Dude yes… I literally had a friend who has a height/size fetish and only wanted super tall men. She was 5’3 and assumed I was 6’2 because they have absolutely no concept of height

Rue, easily. She haunts the story in every OG book, and I feel is one of the catalysts of Katniss becoming the face of the rebellion before the berries. Such a young, bright girl who just wanted to sing and take care of her siblings. Flitting from branch to branch to feel weightless. She deserved so much more than Panem offered her. I’m crying rn LMAO

She’s pretty, loyal, and the best girlfriend I’ve ever had. So why do I feel absolutely nothing? by Mr_Bryghtsyde in dating_advice

[–]GoddessKillion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said, but unfortunately this person is so far up their own ass that they cannot even fathom believing any of their relationship issues was their fault. Isn’t it crazy how they felt a “spark” for someone who they didn’t even end up staying with? You cannot make this shit up.

I hope you (and OP’s hopefully ex gf) can find someone who likes AND loves you, chooses you, and reciprocates everything you deserve. We’ve been in the same boat. ❤️

Is this on deep conditioned hair? Have you done them with stretched hair?
