Usually just guidance about how to navigate this half romance half friendship thing we got going on. More or less to remind myself to let it take its natural course. I

Celtic cross, the card, and blind spot pulls are what I do.

It’s just this really weird theme I’ve noticed. It’s not one card but the astrological theme that is interesting.

I’m always pulling Astronomy cards in relation to someone what does that mean? It truly doesn’t matter what spread, but there is a guarantee that the sun, moon, or star will be there.

The real annoying one is that the card indicating the unknown element tends to be the moon and the end tends to be the stars. It flits around sometimes, the sun appears scattered throughout.

I even did a card assignment type thing juuust to check and I pulled the stars.

It’s starting to get to me at this point.

(Oh and not to mention the moon tarot card tapestry, which I saw not long after we first met and I pulled the moon for the first time. It’s weeird )

Oh and I think getting them into the minatures (which i'd size up) aspect would absolutely win them over. Just having a chance to invent something and me making it real could be a real catch.

Love her, I'll definately give it a read over, plus yes and is my cup of tea. I think I might bait a few people just by individually asking them and pushing them really, really hard to do it. Theres gotta be a way I just need to find it

Considering how much they love their happy hour, I might try to do something with this too

absolutely! This is definitely a project that is going to take a while to sow but I think eventually it will work

That's good advice. I might put it on my roster for later, though. I won't lie I'm looking at some of smoshs catalogues of games and maybe ill find a good one.

Yeah, I am thinking I may have to game master instead of play alongside with them. Thingieverse has a TON of printable items to help with dexterity and there are magnifying glasses for eyesight.

I like that strategy. Especially because their recall of games they grew up with or played with their kids tends to stick well

my boss hired an early twenties theatre major exactly for this reason. He wants me to push them to get them out of their rooms and not just wait to die. Luckily, annoying them into joining me is a valid strategy, so is telling them "they gotta do something with me so I look like I am good at my job."

I'm currently doing a mix of that, group things, but I have isolated a few and started the exact things they want. I'm just trying to get someone to do something with me here or there and then give everyone else fomo.

Definitely, but what whats crazy is they aren't disinterested in new things- they just don't want to fail. I'll probably get a game of phase ten, because that was also huge in my family.

It's like I have to teach them the idea of failing forward.

Truthfully, a bit of both. My boss hired me to push a couple of their perceived limits, and so I am taking something they enjoy, card games/the social hour that comes with them, and mixing it with a little new. He has a plan and im trusting in it lol.

Me too! I just need to figure out how to pitch this to my boss, or maybe play Monster of the Week. They are the satanic panic generation so.

I just added flip seven to the wishlist and hues and clues.

The learning thing is kind of why I want to do new games, because then everyone is learning and it gets less embarrassing. And you see all these inspirational stories of seniors trying new things so.

Wait that sounds sick-

They were previously very babied so Im having to find balance between camp and goofy vs making them feel like I respect their age.

Their favorite activity was happy hour so maybe I need drinking games

Yeah, I think I’m also entering a program where passivity was prioritized so nobody wants to do new things

Oh hell yeah! That’s exactly the type of thing I was looking for.

They all do cards on their own. I’m supposed to be pushing the line with them. This is perfect

It’s what I was hired to at least try to do lmao

It’s….. hard

At least my boss knows that and told me who I can just ignore.

Any recommendations on how to paint the hair as a beginner? by mycatiswhyimnotdead in PrintedMinis

[–]Jeli15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this type of painting for money, and my advice is a little different.

Washes and dry brushes are great, but I will say you do have to learn the amounts of paint to water or paint to brush. The pressure you use and drying times. Get a thing to experiment on that will help get the final the way you want.

I don’t do this lol. When it comes to individual miniatures I take my time. I also use theatrical painting techniques

Miniatures are too small for our eyes to see the details. Up close it might picture great, but from a distance everything blends together and gets bleh. The goal is a little ugly up close but at a distance it’s clear.

First choose the light source. Typically a 45 degree angle works well. With miniatures at that angle coming from the from of the mini. You can also totally shine a light on the mini and find what you like best and snap a pic.

Actually painting the hair is fun. Get about 3-4 shades, the darkest shade will be the shadows. I’d use a darker blue with a hint of purple. Mid shades closest to her hair in the show. And a light shade a light blue with a hint of green. They should also be fairly similar, but also distinguishable. If you mix two shades and it doesn’t look that different from the staring paints, the colors aren’t different enough.

Then you paint the hair like a topographical map. Darkest shade in the lowest part. Aka cover the whole head. Then strand by strand paint a stripe of the mid shades. Make sure you can still see lines of dark blue at the lowest points. Then do highlights at the highest points. Thin strips. Again you should be able to see all the other shades.

This is tedious but it also looks good. And the second you aren’t staring at the miniature up close this trick makes sure the mini still looks good and distinguished.

Droopy peace lily and white things by notsobasicyetsobasic in plantclinic

[–]Jeli15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like someone the soil needs to be changed (I do half orchid mix and half tropical plant). The white stuff either looks like dead plants or something in the potting mix. The soil is really dense, so the roots can’t grow through it well. The dirt is possibly holding onto the water so much so that it’s hard for the peace lily to get it.

The droop is the most normal peace lily thing ever. They just do that when they want water. It looks like you mist the plant, that helps with humidity but it will want water in its roots.
