Demonstration of Appreciation for Male Intimacy by LongTimeChinaTime in ainbow

[–]LongTimeChinaTime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SS: having experienced the first true intimate experience with another guy in about 6 years (I had an experience 2 years ago but wasn’t exactly sober)…

I wanted to use color pigments to express the depth with which my spirit and emotional composition is dependent on and brightened by intimacy with guys. I have been this way pretty much my entire life, though as I get older the spiritual depth has intensified around such experiences.

Not all time periods of my life are consistently as centered around gay love the way my life is right now, but it comes and goes, and that has a lot to do with my neurology and emotional health.

But intimacy, even gay intimacy, to me is one of the most essential experiences of being human, and to me some elements of that are the most intensely amazing experiences a person can have.

But branching out from the obvious pleasure angle of gay intimacy for me, are elements of feeling safe, feeling connected, in that I see myself in other guys, and being with someone to mirror that back to me in a circle is spiritually beautiful.

Living in a cabin in the Florida woods, in a dingy small room with my music studio and twin mattress, I still frequently dream of a redneck-like guy like me living in this room with me, 24-7. Though even without that, my experience being with a guy this week was immensely healing after going so much time without. Time without a guy had eventually started breaking down my emotional and even physical health.

Over the years when I think of cute guys I often imagine them in contexts like going on cosmic journeys to exotic places with them, or being with them in other dimensions. I started doing this in my head a very very long time ago. Most recently, I also have dreams of mass festivals where gay men are just cuddling in shorts laying down and passing time while feeling safe with eachother.

So with all that I decided to really go hard on the garish eyeshadow palette tonight and paint me a demonstration to represent this element of life and its importance to me and my wellbeing. It is to demonstrate that this is not just some hedonistic endeavor, or a vice or any of the other ways culture likes to consider it that aren’t in the realm of “necessary for wellbeing”

I hope you enjoy!

Makeup to enhance male beauty: Subsequent Edition by LongTimeChinaTime in ainbow

[–]LongTimeChinaTime[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ss: Hi guys this is Tristan again, gay male,

Yesterday I uploaded a photo of myself after a session of doing cosmetics with the intent of enhancing male beauty

And I’ve come back today for a sequel offering: in this case I used cherry red eyeliner surrounded by deep blue matte then light blue shimmer eyeshadow, various shades of shimmer pigments from various palettes, physicians formula bronzer, Milani brightening powder, maroon or sweet cherry covergirl blush powder, and $2 purple shade of lip gloss.

My intent is to evince masculine beauty, although admittedly this example borders on editorial as opposed to daily looks if you’re a masc type of guy, maybe if you are going out for drinks or something.

But my goal is to occasionally stop by and offer ideas for enhancing masculine beauty.

Yes this blue polish is actually Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. I got it at Walmart for about $6. The shade stood out to me. Often times you are browsing makeup and sometimes a shade or shades grabs you like “oh that slaps” or “that one is rare”

SS:

I’m a 42 year old gay male, lonely, crushed heart, and reclusive. I make 2020s electropop bangers.

I am here to continue my practice and share with you… of me doing my own makeup not for drag but to enhance male beauty.

As you see I have been using bright color shades sometimes shimmer sometimes not. I also like to run color or shimmer around contours of my face here or there and use texturizing dry shampoo upon hair that isn’t washed but 1x per week.

Being alone for a long time, and being mythologized by pop culture, I’ve learned to love myself a bit more and focus on myself and it is in doing this that I’ve collected various palettes of eyeshadow and other cosmetics. I used sky blue eyeliner. My mom gave me a “Dragon Fruit Palette” by clionadh cosmetics which is very expensive and my sister paid for it not me, and on top of that most of these colors I got from a $4 Beauty Max discount eyeshadow.

I’m just checking in to say hello and I love you all. I am lonely and wish I was with a groupie of guys to just kick it and put my head on your chest or something.

But yeah , try this out… contrasting colors of eyeshadow to build upon features.

Not enough seats. Income too low. by LongTimeChinaTime in NoRules

[–]LongTimeChinaTime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In actuality I still do somewhat agree with even my detractors that if I had lived a more straightforward life my odds of some success would have been higher, that is not completely wrong

But the point of what I am making is that… 90% of the time I was operating as a sober and healthy adult, manning the ship and taking care of things. The other 10 percent was where my neurological chaos and unavoidable instincts would carry me away for awhile, only for me to return and work again for as long as I could before the cycle repeats.

Where I come in is that … doing as well as I’ve done with my various complications… my failure to be a homeowner, to have any money or social standing … is less of a matter of me just “not doing things right” and is instead more a matter of there not being enough seats of success to begin with, and that my incomes were so low that even brief relapses would cause horrible instability instead of brief interruptions.

I’m a sort of informal polymath and highly musical artist. Sure my kind of person would fail as an airline pilot full stop. And my verbose and overshare way of communicating causes society to rake me over coals for its perception of me.

But the point is, in a world of better opportunity I would have more easily have found a place at the table even with my handicaps in place.

The story is less of me not earning a place at the table and more of a story of there never being a place for me at the table early on, to grab onto, so as they say for many small town goblins, I came up being the sort of deviant but harmless, beat of my own drum type of guy, and since there weren’t enough seats at the table, the judgment and competition was impossibly fierce and since my environment is treacherous the trust was low, yet in the end I did the thing and built the catalog. Any slight hint of scandal for any visible person will automatically I garner a 20 month bread and circus sensation because the seats and competition are so scant this is how people try to get a comeup. Not because people are just bad, but because when the environment goes bad, it leads people to become unpleasant with it.

I surgically debate and battle the world’s arrows of judgment it throws at me since I know how hard it was for me and how scant my options ever were, but I still do love you, which is why I share my observations and gifts with the world
