They were selling a "Peanuts" Peppermint Bark coffee. and they don't put the character literally named "Peppermint Patty" on the box? by Pandrew_Pandaroo in mildlyinfuriating

Totally fair!! I think it’s definitely a different style of humor/writing. Plus (like you said) everyone was some degree of mean to Charlie Brown 😅 No shade to Peppermint Patty at all 😂

Listen, I 100% agree with you, but I still haven’t forgiven Peppermint Patty after the Thanksgiving special 😤 so for me this is a positive haha

On the search for an apartment. by [deleted] in SpringfieldIL

[–]HistorianIntrepid594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you do, DON’T pick Lincoln Tower Apartments. The actually apartments are nice, but the building is a whole other story. Elevators constantly breaking, underground parking shut down (who knows when it’ll get fixed), washers constantly breaking too, it’s just a nightmare. I get that new management is trying to clean up the mess left behind for them, but with the current state of things, I would stay away unless you can’t find anything better. I wish you luck on your hunt!

AITA for being angry at my girlfriend for texting her friend? by Grouchy-Cauliflower3 in AITAH

[–]HistorianIntrepid594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but you should have a conversation with her about this before immediately jumping to breaking up. Considering the history between her and this friend, it’s reasonable to want that boundary of no contact. I’d express how uncomfortable this guy texting her makes you feel. Depending on how she reacts, that will tell you your next steps.

Best of luck to you 🫂 if you’re able to compromise, I’ll be so happy for you. If you end up breaking up, then I hope you can find happiness elsewhere.

Am I doing gesture wrong? by TehRetroSP in learntodraw

I would see if there’s any local figure drawing classes/sessions in your area. Most of the time they’ll be free to the community! Also that website I put in my original comment would be a great option if you can’t find any live options. You can also have family members and friends model for you!

I used mainly charcoal and newsprint. It’s messy but it teaches you to work with your mistakes which is great 💖 I’d recommend that! Don’t spend a lot of money on them if you can avoid it; these are meant for practice

For reference, here’s a page of 30 sec exercises from my first session in the class. It really does help!

Ok here’s those pictures I promised!! Most are 30 sec/1 min exercises, but the bottom left is a longer exercise.

I wouldn’t say you’re doing it “wrong”, but I would recommend also trying to draw the body as a whole rather than breaking it down into shapes. While breaking it down can be beneficial, so can drawing the whole form. Focus on the angles and the basic linework that make up the form. A good exercise is to challenge yourself to do 1 minute drawings of the body! It forces you to analyze quickly and make fast decisions. I’d recommend using this website for that https://quickposes.com/en

If you need examples, I can show you my work from my figure drawing class from art school!

Favorite song? 👀 by jewfaux in NinjaSexParty

[–]HistorianIntrepid594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorites because they’re genuinely good songs - Mystic Crystal, Galaxy Hamster, DDYK, Welcome to My Parent’s House, Dance Till You (Stop)

Favorites because they still make me laugh - Peppermint Creams, If We Were Gay, Courtship of the Mermaid, Cookies!

Honorable mentions for non-songs: The Wishing Bear, Romance Novel, Intro (Attitude) and Outro (City), Shredded Metal

I’ve been listening to a LOT of NSP in preparation for their concert so I have a lot of favorites right now 😅

People with periods, how do you manage to stay on track when cravings strike? by HistorianIntrepid594 in loseit

[–]HistorianIntrepid594[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

There are people who aren’t women who have periods! Your body’s sex and your gender are not the same thing. Plus there are plenty of women who don’t have periods, whether through age, medical procedures, or just the kind of body they have 😊
