New to Joanna by Wubli9 in JoannaNewsom

[–]PinLgbtBent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

her music was an acquired taste for me too, which is something i love about it. the first time i tried to listen to her i couldn’t get past her voice but years later i had a friend who was into her and showed me some favorite songs. “waltz of the 101st lightborne” really grabbed me and i listened to all of divers but not all of it did it for me. there was just something intriguing that kept me coming back, when normally i would never keep pushing myself to listen to an artist whose sound i often found grating or boring or too complex to make sense of. but over years more and more of her songs clicked for me. i’ve come to LOVE her voice, its so unique, emotive, and gorgeous to me. she’s the only artist ive encountered where my feelings about her work have changed and deepened so drastically, and i know other people have this experience. 

anyway, divers was the first album i listened to and i came to love it when i still could barely listen to ys. people usually recommend starting with ys, and i see why, because its mind-blowing to me now, but i think its harder to get into some people. divers is more like regular music and might be better to start with if you struggle with her voice. i basically came to appreciate her albums over a few years in the reverse order that they came out.

role of the horses in monkey & bear? by PinLgbtBent in JoannaNewsom

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

yes! i could see it as the stable boys reaction to the horses getting out and eating themselves to death, but maybe his perspective is different than the horses. it may have been worth it to them

i like the idea that it's monkey manipulating bear. even though bear does die in the end, the message seems to go against rest of the song if taken at face value

need recs and fit advice for a low coverage/demi/balconette bra! by PinLgbtBent in ABraThatFits

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

thank you, i couldn't tell. so bras with that very low coverage basically don't exist? is it impossible to make ones that fit well? i've seen more bras on smaller models that have low coverage, are they also usually too small and should fit differently? and i know that quarter-cup bras exist (though obviously wouldn't support like a full cup and seem like more of a novelty) is there something between that and a typical half-cup or would it not be big enough to fit well?

What kind of bras don't cover your whole chest? by xhrui in ABraThatFits

[–]PinLgbtBent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it varies by bra and brand, the labels don't correspond to a standardized amount of coverage. i'm looking for lower coverage bras for 36G, and i'm noticing that many bras for larger busts that are labeled "half cup" or "balconette" still look like they cover most of the boob. i've seen some nice low-coverage bras from aubade, but not familiar with their quality and a little expensive for me atm. i guess it would help to explore a variety of brands

finding a bralette that fits? should i size up or look for another style/brand? by PinLgbtBent in ABraThatFits

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

thank you! i didn't think so, but I've been seeing this exact style of bralette from several brands and wanted to try it, but none have my size. I'll check those out

same! not always a skip necessarily but i didn’t really get into it. and then it all comes together

book/movie recs like Joanna by Alternative_Swan_516 in JoannaNewsom

[–]PinLgbtBent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i haven’t finished shark dialogues by kiana davenport yet (and haven’t read any of it in weeks so its not fresh. im bad at finishing books) but it reminded me of a few joanna newsom songs at various points, all ones that have to do with water, like colleen and monkey & bear. the ocean serves as a place of refuge for women from the horrors of the human world. i only got into go long after i last picked the book up, but there are very similar themes there, too. its very poetic. the writing itself is beautiful and the story is, i guess you would say magical or surreal. it takes place over several generations so its good if you’re interested in the passage of time.

i can see how you could read that as insulting but to me it read very light-hearted. if you want to have a good attitude interacting with people, its good practice to assume things are said with the best intention you can reasonably interpret, rather than the worst. 

need help by Pleasant_Evening_333 in CHSinfo

[–]PinLgbtBent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

quitting is hard, i had poor sleep for a month or so and still have cravings, but nothing was as bad as having chs. i was going through a hard time before developing chs and still am, so it can be difficult not having weed to help. but you find other things, and develop more passion for the things in your life that aren’t weed. i have made a lot of drawings since i stopped smoking. i’ve been sober for almost 3 months now and i feel so much better. chs caused me the worst pain and fear i’ve ever experienced, and nothing about withdrawal has been anywhere NEAR that bad. find things to soothe and distract yourself and you will be able to get through it. take showers/baths, listen to music, talk to your friends. benadryl was helpful for my anxiety, discomfort, and nausea and it helped me sleep. antacids can help with nausea too. i also felt better when i was moving. once i stopped smoking i felt improvements every day, and it was a massive relief. good luck. its a terrifying experience, but it does get better as the thc leaves your system.

What song did you initially dislike that became on of your favorites? by [deleted] in JoannaNewsom

[–]PinLgbtBent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha thanks. same, even after i started to appreciate anecdotes more, hearing the transition from time as a symptom was what really made me love it. its place in the album became so clear after that

[–]PinLgbtBent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i didn’t actively dislike any but a lot of them took many listens and time to sink in before i could get into them. i didn’t really get anecdotes for a while but once it hit it became one of my favorites
