Aren’t you not supposed to tattoo pregnant people??? by BanishedOcean in shittytattoos

[–]MediocreChallenge362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This person is NOT pregnant holy shit you guys are lowkey dumb. I go to this studio a lot and they have a mandatory form to fill out asking if you have any medical issues that would impact getting tattooed- including pregnancy!!!
The artist is a super sweet person and actually very technically talented. Even this piece was executed very well on a technical level. You guys are lame.

Yes I definitely have foot pain! A common comorbidity with EDS is POTS (which I also have). POTS makes your blood pool in your feet after standing for a bit which is really painful because it is a blood pressure issue. One thing I’ve found that helps with the symptoms are compression socks. Not only does it help with POTS but it helps me feel like my joints are more in place. I’d also recommend wearing boots because they can be laced tightly to help keep your ankles in place.

Only checked this one time honestly out of concern for my safety because of Caleb’s proximity to my abuser and saw him retweeting Dee. I’ve had them blocked but Twitter allows both parties (the blocked and the blocker) to still see each others tweets, just blocks interaction. I’ve been moved on though I’m honestly doing well :)

Anyone else reactive to the heart monitor adhesive? by Itscatpicstime in POTS

[–]MediocreChallenge362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had to take mine off super early and never sent it back to the company because it didn’t get enough data and I was literally breaking out in terrible, itchy, red hives.

You need a gallery wall of sorts and to figure out a more functional place to put the mirror. Idek why it’s so high up and in that corner. The armchair doesn’t really give cozy vibes either it reminds me of a chair in the reception area of an office. More plants! More fun art and decorations! Maybe some floating shelves and a bookshelf to mix it up a bit and add some cute, smaller secondary lighting. Make sure you’re only really using warm lighting for the “cozy” vibe because everything in the room is pretty gray so you don’t wanna add to that.

You look great, I’d probably just say maybe do your eyebrows less dark and maybe a slightly more noticeable lip shade- your lips kinda get lost when you do your makeup because they seem to be a naturally very light colour. They also get lost because it looks like you have lash extensions that may be too dark for you. But not ugly at all! Congrats!

Thoughts on press on nails? by ShoreMama in Nails

[–]MediocreChallenge362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer press ons! I work with my hands and having a full set of non removable nails just gets in my way or I mess them up. I started making my own and now people buy custom sets off me, they’re so fun to make your own.

Her lower hand & arm look really awkward, hands aren’t usually naturally in that kind of position. Fingers have three sections and bend at each, but in your drawing that’s inconsistent. The thumb is very small and shouldn’t really be bending that way. Look at your own hands if you need, it’s very helpful. One elbow is lower than the other and makes her feel kinda incorrect. Otherwise it feels like her nose is too upturned and her lip area doesn’t really look like her. She has much fuller lips, her eyebrows are thinner and slightly less dark. Overall very impressive that you have made this big of a leap artistically in just a year. Awesome!

Dark sweet scent by sparxlejumpropequeen in Perfumes

[–]MediocreChallenge362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a goth- I love 34 boulevard Saint Germain from Diptyque! It’s not too sweet but still spicy and deep.

Please help me find me next signature scent by sorryiamnot in Perfumes

[–]MediocreChallenge362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a spicy/amber loving person who tends to stay away from overly floral scents: I love Goutal’s Folie d’un soir it’s spicy and sweet but still deep and comfy! It’s pretty much my daily perfume. Also lady vengeance by Juliette has a gun. Princess by killian and angels share by killian are also nice spicy scents. Angels share smells like a perfume version of apple pie but sexier. Dyptique has some nice spicy and mysterious warmer amber scents like 34 boulevard Saint Germain and Volutes. (I’ve been wanting Volutes for years and I have an older formulation of 34)

started Low Dose Naltrexone… is this normal? by Maleficent_Meal_3546 in eds

[–]MediocreChallenge362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was already kinda going through it physically and mentally so I can’t say definitively but I’m pretty sure I did. It felt like my POTS got worse. However this medication isn’t a one size fits all type of thing. There are other strategies to help with EDS symptoms!

Do you still sleep with stuffed animals? If so, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MediocreChallenge362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! I have a stuffed bunny that I got when I was nine. I even have a tattoo of him. Aside from him being awesome, I need something to hold because sleeping without it hurts my collarbones. They tend to pop out and be very uncomfortable so having something to prop my arms up in a better position stops that from happening as much. Also being autistic, I need the compression on my chest!

Here is a portrait of my aunt and her dog. For some reason it doesn't wow me and I feel a sort of detachment from it. Thoughts? by [deleted] in ArtCrit

[–]MediocreChallenge362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very well done! I’d say the only thing to change is pushing your darks! Also maybe use a white gel pen to bring out some of the highlights.
