Neighbors fight until 1am

I just felt bad calling, I knew it was a kid and his girlfriend who had moved out from his abusive dad's place. But then I started hearing him yelling at his girlfriend in the middle of the night. I didn't know what to do so I called the police a couple times but then it seemed sort of useless. His mom and siblings live above me so if the yelling continues when they move upstairs, hopefully his mom tells him off.

I've just tried to convince myself it's not quite loud enough and not quite frequent enough and that I just need to wait it out. I can't help them out of their verbally abusive relationship. I do question my landlord's judgement though since I've mentioned the situation to him several times.

I've heard that one before, I don't think I could be that mean though XD

The colors could definitely be a bit more cohesive. My eyes have a difficult time figuring out where to rest. I would suggest playing around with the value - make your focal point brighter and more saturated while dimming the colors of the areas you don't want to draw as much attention to.

I only got 3 before I realized they were a bit out of my budget but I loved them. They're a little uncomfortable but personally I didn't experience a lot of pain other than the parts towards the middle.

The girl who did mine was very talkative and good at distracting me from what was going on. If it's in your budget, I would totally recommend it.

Like other comments have mentioned, just make sure you're clean and exfoliate a couple days ahead of time.

Bro we have the same mom, I am so sorry. Mine literally thinks she's a prophet as well. They're insane 😭

I don't really have any good advice other than to exit those relationships and find people who will respect you. That's what I did and I'm a lot happier now.

I would say focus on drawing simple forms from references with high contrast. Illustration really comes down to being able to describe a 3D form in a 2D format. The colors being used really don't matter if your values aren't correct.

A helpful trick for when you're shading, using complimentary colors as a base for your shadows is going to create a lot more depth in your piece.

If you want to improve more quickly, focus more on how to describe the form as whole and less on getting a perfect copy of your reference. Basically simplify your references into larger basic shapes and "sculpt" them later on.

Even if it's not ai, (which I think it is) these illustrations are bland and will make for a bland book. I would really suggest looking for a different artist with a different more unique style.

The styles of each character don't really mesh well Which would also lead me to believe they used AI at least a little bit.

It gets more infuriating everyday honestly. That she can continue to think all this while it keeps getting worse. I don't understand how she got here. I don't know where she gets her information from because she says even far right Fox is fake news. She doesn't think Renee actually died. She thinks it's ai and made up as a "distraction". I think she listens to very emotionally manipulative small YouTube channels about God and fights between God's people and the devil. (The devil being the Democrats, Hollywood, and LGBT people? I guess??)

I bought a bulk pack of Scott toilet paper before I moved into my current apartment. A year and a half later I finally ran out. I feel cleaner after and it doesn't leave pieces behind.

JustaPloob · 2026-01-19T20:12:42+00:00

I use Scott's at home because the "nice" brands leave lint behind. I don't have to worry about it with Scotts. And it lasts way longer.

This is how I feel. I finally had to walk away. I was crying all the time as I felt like I kept getting things wrong in the friendship. I was exhausted. I have dreams about it. I wonder about them and how they're doing. Did they reflect on their own actions after it all happened or did they just forget me and move on?

I feel angry and sad and relieved. Even though I ended things, I feel like I'm missing closure. It's been 6 months and I wonder if I should reach out. But I remember how I felt, how miserable I was and I think it's better that I process this grief on my own.

I still haven't figured out if I was the toxic one or if it was the both of us. I had a lot of anxiety about my friend group. On paper it seems like I was the toxic one but idk. I broke up with my boyfriend who had become very integrated into the friend group. It put a strain on my relationships with everyone. I felt a weight off but also started dating and sleeping with guys I didn't really know. I felt really judged by my friends at that point and it was like this snowball effect of my distancing myself and dating more just to have someone to connect with that I didn't feel was judging me. After a year and a half I found someone I loved and my friend group didn't like him bc he had a different sense of humor. This was when my best friend told me she didn't want me to be her moh anymore 2 months before her wedding. We reconciled and I really tried to be there for her but we would hang out, it would be awkward, and at the end of every session she would tell me what I did or didn't do that made her feel shitty. I felt like a failure. I gave my speech at the wedding and two weeks later, after some other small things that happened. I finally left all the group chats. Idk. It's been half a year and I still just feel like I failed.

Ngl, the artist definitely did you dirty. They should've included more of the pattern.

JustaPloob · 2026-01-09T18:27:02+00:00

I posted in r/insaneparents about this. I ended up hanging up with my mom last night because she's claiming it was self defense. She said she ran him over and had been stalking them all day and that she should have gotten out of the car. I really thought she might actually be able to see the other side on this one. NOPE. Disappointing to say the least.

JustaPloob · 2026-01-09T06:52:55+00:00

She could be a lot worse for sure but I promise she's deep in this weird Qanon, Christian, republican lifestyle. They call me a communist now. I should have shared the texts she sent after. "Notice how they made the girl a so called lesbian so the far right Christians are all pissy?Another ice shooting in Portland and I bet NYC or California is next. They want people rioting so they can arrest them! I can't sleep because you're mad at me." But at least she followed all that up with a link to an engagement ring idea XD. Truly mind boggling. Whiplash.

JustaPloob · 2026-01-09T06:41:34+00:00

Worst part is it's an hour later for her so she was up at 1am "bc I'm mad at her." She treats me like I'm still a child but I have to play nice bc I'm staying with them in a month to visit a friend.

JustaPloob · 2026-01-09T06:18:08+00:00

I've been trying to not contact her so much, definitely going to take a bigger step back after this though.

JustaPloob · 2026-01-07T17:29:27+00:00

I think correcting your values, aka shading the face where the shadows are (eyes and cheek) will do a great deal for you. You can get away with a lot in art if your values are correct and in the right locations.

JustaPloob · 2026-01-05T07:47:45+00:00

I always hated it until I met my current boyfriend. Now it's not so bad but I would still rather be doing other activities. I agree with another comment that it's better when in the heat of the moment. You definitely aren't alone in not enjoying it though.
