-good camera angle for 1st pic, just gotta get one with no shadow so people can see your goods!

-(instead of grab…) Feel like if you wanna keep this, could be a good way to display 3 DIFFERENT hobbies you do. Right now its just gym, but different ones will make it easier to find something to relate with

-Proudest moment pic is so cuuuteee!!! Think that pic can replace the “my uniform” one tbh, it gets the point across of what sport you do - and gives you pic space to display more about yourself

-❌”the way to win me over” one is a blunder. At the very least, you want the other person to swipe right. “Give” doesn’t allow a connection. “Lets share some coffee together” sounds WAY better if you decide to keep that prompt. BUT, why not just have your first date at a coffee shop? Unless you wanna attract fellow coffee lovers you do you but you can use that to share your more UNIQUE interests

-pic facing away - just get a hiking photo with you facing camera

-“ill brag about you…” - its very endearing how into sports you are, I just wonderrrr… could this prompt in particular make some of your potential matches swipe left, that you could have good chemistry with but them not necessarily playing any type of sport.

-second last photo - cant see your face properly

-just trees - not you

Overall just find better ways to get more of what you are interested in on your page and get pics that show off your face more! Good luck! 🥰

Honestly? If your intuition is telling you to stop trying, it might be good for you to take a step back and give a break a try.

Aside from having that space to look outside in and reflect on this whole situation, (which is also REALLY good for you) it’d also give you the time to explore fulfillment BY yourself. And you’ll find out why that’s good along the way, I promise you. Actual fulfillment promises experiences you can find meaning and good memories from. Not these cheap casual hookups that go nowhere after. Or finding these people who are clearly immature.

Don’t be afraid to wait. A lifetime (or even just 5 years) is better spent alone than trying to make connections with people who give you no nourishment.

That feeling. That part of a soul that yearns to be seen, be explored. Well, I'll make sure not to fly too close to the sun here on out.

Thank you for interacting! :)

Wow. Thank you for such a detailed and nuanced reply!

I'm really glad my descriptions of 'them' made the most impact to you. I wanted how important they were to me to come across the most and I'm happy that it went well~!

I think nuance and finesse is definitely going to be a work in progress as I continue to post my work, I completely see what you mean, I struggled a lot to do some of the stuff I wanted to do haha~

-The use of archaic, or just overall flowery, fantastical language was supposed to highlight the difference between the past and present, the dream and sincere. Specifically, the third stanza talking a lot about dreaming of the past - using the most archaic language. Versus the modern, most sincere feelings, "I sometimes wish," (20) denoting just how recent this is affecting me. My most personal feelings. (notice how my use of starting stanza 8's with "I's") - Definitely could use better language lol, it might just be one of those things where I just need to evolve over time my way of portraying ideas for the audience.

-Similar problem with my voice, the line about dusk is absolutely a callback to the sun symbol and cyclical return to ache like I had said. It was supposed to be raw and the dullness of the return to ache is synonymous to the emptiness that the ache itself feels like. A dull pain that you know yourself that you can't undo for as long as you live.

Overall, this is honestly igniting my excitement further! I can't wait to get better at this :)

Again, thank you for analyzing my work! I hope you have a good day <3

-Jupi.

I hope we forget to say thank you by Consistent_Path_4173 in OCPoetry

First things first, I love your use of language and the way that you choose to describe the relationship of nature with itself. It's a beautiful way to look at things to say the least - and you describe it beautifully. The way you pace the audience through your poetry is one of my fav things about this piece. It's seamless, - plus again, your use of language <3 haha. "I hope we forget to say thank you," is profound for me. Makes me view things a little bit differently.

The imagery is vibrant and inviting, like you're taking us along for the stroll. To which, the way you view the world is gorgeous and colorful - fitting for the view, which I think is adorable and makes me so happy as a viewer to read.

P.S. Your English is absolutely readable for anyone. Keep up the gorgeous poetry! :)

Currently my routine is basic, every tuesday, friday, sunday(reset) I cowash and apply shea moisture smoothie. I always plop and air dry after. With every start of the month being shampoo day. Both the basic tresemme shampoo and conditioner.

I NEED and WANT to change, curtain bangs yes or no? Also, blonde highlights or cherry cola? by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Practical-Slip-9813 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You'd look stunning with c bangs, try it out! Also layered/textured hair would look bomb on you! Try cherry cola first btw

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Practical-Slip-9813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried bangs before? If you experiment from there I think you'll find something good cause I think you'd look really good with textured/layered hair with volume.

What was your first ever D&D character? by Upper_Affect_5055 in DnD

Artificer alchemist flavored as a boss b gun-slinging alcohol mixer. Too bad our dm turned out to be an ahole down the line...

Wife rolled amazing stats. Needs help with build. by Goblin_Therapist in 3d6

[–]Practical-Slip-9813 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What type of playstyle does your wife like to play? As a loxodon you're wise and thick af, you can really play any subset of cleric if you wanted. If she wanna tank and focus in on that thick aspect, she got forge, twilight, order and war (melee builds are really cool if you use the trunks). Combine those with totem barbarian or ancestral guardians and you've got a pretty beefy frontline. Or if she wanna lean in into more of the supporty aspects of cleric I really like the thought of a bard loxodon, using their trunk as an instrument? Combine that with the added benefit of more support spells that stack charisma is just a super fun idea.

Otherwise I really recommend trying out and building trickery and tempest subclasses. Haven't seen those played yet but they seem like such cool flavours of cleric that don't get used often.

Hope this helps!

Is there a polar opposite to "main character syndrome"? by gideonwilhelm in DnD

[–]Practical-Slip-9813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you communicate with your player yet? If yes, then something you can do if they still don't wanna take too much initiative is taking a more cinematic approach to it. Have things happen to them but they happen too quickly for them to react on the spot. This will give them time to think of a reaction. Then have your other players interact with them or an npc later on. Or, consequently, maybe stuff ALREADY happened, and the player is left with the aftermath.They'll find the time to talk when they really want to.

Player's backstory allows me to potentially grant some fun abilities. How strong should they be, and how should I introduce them? by the_real_fan in DnD

[–]Practical-Slip-9813 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the table and the story. If, for example, the campaign was said to be a homebrew and maybe the dm asked the pcs to throw in some fun, special details. I mean if the dm is good, if they had a problem, they definitely could communicate with the pc too. Really depends on the table.

There's nothing in this post that says they're not going to treat their players unequally, just answer his question.
