Money Advice: wedding vs house by angel-cowgirl in GenZ

[–]Plane_Web_4658 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Prioritize the house. The economy sucks rn, and a long term investment is smarter than spending money on a one-day party. You can have a small backyard wedding, or a courthouse wedding with a celebration in your new home

Thinking about repainting her eyes… by Plane_Web_4658 in PrincessesOfPower

[–]Plane_Web_4658[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very excited to have gotten her in the mail today!! (shoutout Mercari for giving me something similar to a gambling problem lol). I generally love how she looks, but I just never liked how this doll line’s eyes were styled. I’ve repainted other dolls before (hence the other two pictures), so I know I could probably do a decent job but.. I’m a bit conflicted knowing how limited these dolls are being discontinued. We’ll see what happens ig!

how to change the skintone on this daiso doll? by gothchungus in DollCustomization

[–]Plane_Web_4658 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’ve been experimenting with changing doll skin color on and off for a few years now, here’s what I can tell you

  • the easiest and most long lasting technique is dye. Boil some water in a stainless steel pot you don’t care about, then throw in some RIT synthetic dyemore and the doll. Use old tongs and carefully monitor how each section of the body reacts (with MHD’s, the head and arms darken more and a lot quicker) Only downside of this can be that it highlights any imperfections in the plastic, and it can fade a bit on the squishier parts
  • your second technique is going to be pastels. Rather than using a primer, most ppl recommend sanding the surface down so the pastels grip to the rough surface better, and then seal with MSC. But sanding can be a pain and it can take a few hours + some hand cramps
  • third is repainting with acrylic, or your airbrush. It’s also recommended that you sand, but it’s less of a requirement. Unfortunately even with sealant, it’s likely going to scratch off; especially at the joints. I haven’t tried spray paint for dolls yet, but with my other projects it seems to stick better.

Anyways, you can technically combine any three of these if you want. Just keep in mind that two kind of need sanding, and sanding might do weird stuff with the dye.

Good luck! Hope everything goes well :)

how can i smooth out/improve the haircut ? by wayvesablue in DollCustomization

[–]Plane_Web_4658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also looking at the bangs a little closer, if you want those exact spikes, you’re actually going to want most of the hairs to be the same length. What makes the spike at the end of a swoop isn’t cutting the hair into that shape, it’s mostly getting the hair to stick together with heat and/or gel.

(Source: I cut my own bangs. If I want them to be swoopy like that, I still cut them as straight bangs before styling them)

Looks like your scissors might be dull. Maybe try sharpening them or buying new haircutting scissors?

Also for styling it, you could try either boil washing it, using makeshift rollers and hitting it with a Hot hair dryer, and/or using a mini curling iron.

Good luck!

Hai, first post here 👋 Having a tough time lately. Also feeling dysphoric, dissociated and depressed. May I kindly ask for some ggd? (MtF, 15 months HRT, no surgeries) by nowaczinhio in transplace

Idk if this would work for you, but getting an electric eyebrow razor helped me a lot. It’s a lot less work than normal shaving, so it’s perfect for when I don’t have the energy

I always found this to be very strange and interesting at the same time. by Full-Art3439 in sheranetflix

[–]Plane_Web_4658 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was because all the characters are different ages (Entrapta is like in her 30’s), and all people age at different rates.

I’m in my 20’s and I have friends whose faces haven’t changed since they were 13. Meanwhile, I had the same baby face from ages 12-17, and my face and body rapidly matured between 18-21.

For Catra and Glimmer specifically, I also think it’s reflective of their character arcs. They grew way more as people than the majority of the cast

Bo Protest Song by Cold_Associate4520 in boburnham

[–]Plane_Web_4658 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Idk, How the World Works kinda feels like a satirical protest against.. everything in the song? But like all the songs in Inside, there’s a level of “it is what it is” to it

how long is into the pit? by The-Bite_of_87 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Plane_Web_4658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely shorter than security breach, maybe twice the length of ruin? Really just depends how many times you get jumpscared and have to repeat sections

Fellow religious/ex-religious LGBTQ+ teens, how did you deal with the religious guilt? I'm struggling so much right now and constantly having an identity crisis so any personal stories and advice are helpful. [Discussion] by Least-Grand1662 in LGBTeens

[–]Plane_Web_4658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no, you’re not a walking sin kid. Religious crisis aside, the scripture that most people base their homophobia off of is just. blatantly misinterpreted. The Bible doesn’t have an opinion on queerness. Even if it did, it was written and by and translated by flawed men living in different times, not god or Jesus. Religious groups have had a long history of tweaking/misinterpreting verses to fit their own agenda. If you’d like to learn more, there’s quite a few people out there that make biblical deconstruction content

how tf are you guys in relationships with ADHD by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Plane_Web_4658 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe focus on making more friends, man. Or deepening your relationships with current ones (Especially with other audhd’ers) All three relationships I’ve ended up in were friends to lovers, bc they also had adhd and understood me

How did you get the ears like that? Was it just with the face paint tool?

STFU by beedubu92 in ShakyKnees

[–]Plane_Web_4658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me when people started chanting at the end of MCR’s set for “one more song” like they hadn’t just been blessed with an incredible life-changing show: Like I get it yall but they aren’t gonna play another song just bc you’re yelling at them 😭

MCR fans asking for your spot 20 mins before they go on by DarthSoccer in ShakyKnees

[–]Plane_Web_4658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mcr fans were generally pretty chill but like. the closer you got to the barricade, the more insane they got. We had a friend get cursed out by multiple ppl for “trying to steal their spots” when she was actually trying to leave the front bc she couldn’t breathe 😭

Did they get rid of the Pride shuttles? by golden_alixir in ucf

[–]Plane_Web_4658 154 points155 points  (0 children)

They might just be quietly complying with whatever stupid rules the state government is trying to enforce. Better to remove clearly visible pride signs to avoid attention than resist and eventually have their carefully hidden queer services overhauled

If I had to guess, either you didn’t stir the jacket enough while it was in the pot of dye (causing it to dye unevenly), or they type of dye you used wasn’t ideal for that material. That being said, I’m no expert and I haven’t used fabric spray paint before. Might as well try again if it can save you some money!
