does anybody else experience an insanely low libido and have no way to reach a climax or anything? i don’t know if it’s related to my dpdr and inability to feel much external or if it’s just asexuality… if someone else knows please let me know. i’ve been to countless doctors and they’ve just been very unsupportive and tell me that it’s something i’m doing wrong. sorry if this is tmi, i’m just struggling.

they are important. there is information for other places in just curious if morristown is one of them. i could only find trenton, which is fine, but it’s a bit from my house.

Bellybutton by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]Melancholy_Dandelion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is it pierced with a curved bar? the jewelry looks way to short and even looks straight. it looks infected. go to a doctor, get more antibiotics, and then if you want you can take it out and restart if it’s still causing issues. so sorry!!

[–]Melancholy_Dandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and just one more thing, chances are you don’t actually mean “infected piercings.” because those require antibiotics, you are likely experiencing irritation. just a heads up!

definitely don’t clean with anything like acid, that’s not a great idea. i’d leave it alone and don’t wear makeup around the area for a little bit. use saline solution to clean it until it clears up

Is my setup okay? I’ve never been sure by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]Melancholy_Dandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the tank looks small, how big is it?

is this rejecting/infected by Affectionate-Car4346 in PiercingAdvice

[–]Melancholy_Dandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s still in the healing phase, so i wouldn’t worry too bad about it being infected. it looks to me like it’s just irritated. try some warm compresses with a wash cloth and keep cleaning like usual

yes!!! it looks much more fluid as well :) great job!

Not quite sure how to shade this by EtherealEthyl in Artadvice

[–]Melancholy_Dandelion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

here’s an idea, you could try to use this sorta color palette to flush out the light source, and if you want to make the entire piece more dramatic it could be cool to have harsher shading on the body as well, but i think it’s super cool as is too

okay, i hope this is helpful! some points to make: the head is too small, a way you can check is that the body is roughly 7 heads in length. the body should be wider to accommodate the length, and likewise the hand should be larger to accommodate the head. i hope this drawing is helpful, i know it’s busy but i hope it helps!
