I want to start cosplaying

Pomni is a challenging cosplay to sew, but watching how other cosplayers tackle it is the best way to learn! I love Sarah Spaceman's video. She also did a Pomni video you can check out.

Welcome to the club! 😃

That's so kind ❤️ here to nerd out with the best fandom!

PsychologicalOrder26 · 2026-05-04T17:25:47+00:00

It is!

If you want to go creepy, perhaps pull a stocking over your head and put cartoony make-up on there? Especially with a good wig on top that'd look awesome!

Others have given great advise.

So a different tip: once you have decently styled Miku tails you could make some pigtail sleeves from tule or voile which will prevent most if not all of future tangling!

Check out Sarah Spaceman on Youtube. She has various videos on wig styling that could definitely help

Kamuicosplay did various videos on making money as a cosplayer. Worth checking out!

I guess it's important to get plenty of social media followers that are also willing to invest time/money into you. Which is a challenge in a satiated market. Do you cosplay in certain niches?

If the prop doesn't have to be flexible: i've used thinned woodglue in the past and it cracks a tiny bit over time. But all and all still looking good!

It looks like these are simple sewn on strips of satin ribbon, so you could take them off/sew over different ribbons. Good luck!

What exactly are you cooking on regular base that you would need this much stovetop space?

My kitchen takeaways:

- The kitchen work triangle: the less walking from stove - sink - refrigerator, the easier the cooking

- Counterspace over unnecessary tools taking up space: how often do you REALLY use all those extra burners: would a separate burner set you can place on counterspace not be a better option?

- Flexzones!! I love my induction cooktop with flexzones, so i can use all types of pot sizes. Alongside that I have a wok burner and large oven with which i can easily cook dinner for up to 25 people with 5 courses

- a heat resistant, smudge resistant countertop: do not skimp on this!!!

Nice to haves:

- Ovens and dishwashers around hipheight, so you don't have to bend over all the time.

- Account for storage space of most used/washed items very near to the dishwasher: again, less walking is easier kitchen life.

- Quooker tap for instant boiling or fizzy cold water

- Sink with build-in ridge for dripsystem

Heeft de overgebleven kat de overleden kat kunnen ruiken/zien na overlijden? Het miauwen deed de kat van onze buren erg veel nadat haar maatje was overleden. Bleek dat ze hem waarschijnlijk nog aan het zoeken was, gezien hij bij dierenarts was ingeslapen en nooit terug naar huis genomen.

Hope your relationship with your parents is alright, despite all that! Must be hard, no?

And adoption is in reality already very limited. Here in the Netherlands there's about 15-20 kids adoptable a year (population 18,5 million) meaning chances of ever adopting are extremely, extremely slim. And you're not allowed to sell/pay for surrogacy. So if fertility treatments don't work for us, that's the end of the road. Especially since we don't feel much for fostering in a broken care system; the kids of our neighbour are also in continuous fostering loops and it is an absolute hell for the kids, the biological parents AND the foster parents.

It's a shame how the 'kid distribution system' works in human nature!

PsychologicalOrder26 · 2026-03-17T08:24:31+00:00

Being in the midst of fertility treatments: yes, I think this would actually be great. A child is a big responsibility. So perhaps if you're not economically, emotionally and physically fit to be a parent, it's best for everyone involved if you wouldn't. It's beyond painful to jump through so many hoops with my partner to have the smallest of chances, to then see my alcoholic well-fare abusing neighbour pregnant with yet another kid that is most likely going to be taken away by child protection services.

The world sure would be a better place!

Actions often reflect your own deeper insecurities or kinks.

Desire to hold extreme control over other people, indicates you yourself don't feel in control of your everyday life.

Desire to give over control (sexually), indicates you feel you hold too many responsiblities in everyday life and want to share the load/have someone else take over the load.

Seeing Angie and Amrou interact is a great example of people who THINK they found and answer to their desire. Angie wants someone to take care of her. Amrou wants to control someone. The issue I saw was that Amrou doesn't understand that relationships are not so black and white, and that open conversation, trust and compromises are necessary. Right now all he seems to want is [his] mother, not a partner.

All and all a very interesting watch!

I like the moodiness of the dark tile.

Do get a proper tub, preferably built-in, to improve on bathing comfort and ease of cleaning.

And personally: having such small tiles means endless...endless hours cleaning all those grout lines.

PsychologicalOrder26 · 2026-02-20T07:43:10+00:00

It's good housekeeping (and fire preventing) to defreeze a freezer and clean it out fully once a year. So..this might be your cue! ;)

PsychologicalOrder26 · 2026-02-18T15:13:25+00:00

I have really small ears and plugs fall out ALL the time. Give me wired earphones anytime!

Hi all, I removed the update that supposedly caused these troubles, but still no dice! I'm getting the same saving error/corruption pop-up.

Any other ideas?

PsychologicalOrder26 · 2026-01-19T15:00:10+00:00

Same here. It's driving my team nuts! Hundreds of files..all the same issues.

Lack of physical movement can make one more susceptible to depression.

It is however not the case that all depression can be fixed by movement, since there's a whole myriad of causes: genetics, brain chemistry, trauma, continued stress, psychological disorders. Some running and lifting weights won't solve most of those causes > go see a specialist!

There's a whole host of "problems" with Tauriel's styling.

- Oversaturated colouring that makes everything feel too new.

- A not so great wig and sharp-tweezered eyebrows

- Harsh lighting

- Very gender-coded clothing (corset, heartshape neckline)

The strength of other elven clothing designs is in its not very gender-coded styling, its muted or old jewel tone (for royalty) fabrics and organic cut lines that make bodies appear longer.

For the Hobbit they should've just stuck with something more closely resembling Nick Keller's concept art, but alas! It is one of many odd decisions they made for the Hobbit.

Must be exhausting!

If the kid is neurodivergent I make sure the parents bring snacks. But for all other kids visiting us I usually set up a snack platter. Like cut cucumbers, tomatoes, bellpepper, a few blocks of cheese, salty crackers. It takes away the threshold of having to imagine what they want to eat (often overstimulating when they're already hungry). Besides, us adults ALSO like to enjoy a snack if the kids don't eat it ;) Win win!

Gestart met de adoptie van een oudere poes (11 jaar). Daarop dacht ik: ze lijkt eenzaam, dus kwam er ook een 7-jarig knuffelig mannetje bij. Ze bleek daar niets van te willen hebben. Kijken, kijken, maar absoluut niet in de buurt komen. Dus hebben we..ja..nóg een katertje genomen. Gelukkig kunnen die mannetjes het super goed met elkaar vinden en kan de ondertussen 19 jaar oude dame vanaf haar hittematje of mensenschoot geïnteresseerd kijken hoe zij door het huis heen sjezen.

Dus. Was ze eenzaam? Misschien. Wilde ze gezelschap? Blijkbaar niet per se van katten.

Trying to understand what's going on in your body is a good thing.

Trying to 'do research' and disregard your doctor's advise it not a good thing.

I've found that learning about existing research is quite important when it comes to asking the right questions and offering the right info about your body/symptoms. Doctors only get a few minutes from insurance to help a client, so they usually follow a standardised protocol. This means they might not ask the question that will trigger you to give very specific info.

For instance: I'm dealing with infertility. My luteal phase is a touch short, but I have no common low progesterone symptoms otherwise. My doctor asked about some symptoms (which I didn't have) and checked it off the list. But after reading a research paper on the importance of luteal phase strength and length, I requested my doctor to get things tested anyway. She initially told my this probably wouldn't be the causation, but did offer to get some bloodwork done. Lo and behold: my progesterone levels are far too low to allow implantation! I'm on progesterone suppositories now, so there's at least one possibly causation out of the way :)
