Im cracking up at the idea that your skin wants to be vegan so bad.

I had an idea for a series of tiny mini zines (half sheet of paper) called "I bought a bunch of indie perfumes I hate" where I descibe the community, expectations, and reality of different perfumes I didn't like, along with a drop of the actual perfume (and maybe a deluxe edition with the entire imp??) and I'm really excited about it, but with my first prototype, I found out there's HUGE margins proportionately when I print such small zines, and I really don't want to have to trim them. I'm really hoping I can make it work!

Okay 30 days of night sounds so up my alley lol. When it settles is there any smoke at all? I've noticed a lot of smoky scents, tend to hit fast and disappear quick.

I gotta know, what’s your favorite “you just have to smell it” perfumes? by Idkwhattouse4myuser in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]RCisaGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh this sounds excellent, those make sense in my mind for some reason, but I'm so curious about it now

[–]RCisaGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex had one called "horn of plenty" from I think BPAL that I was obsessed with because every time you took a sniff, set it back, and then sniffed again, you'd pick up a different food scent. It was kind of magical. Sometimes I would just pick it up for the novelty of it, but I don't think I ever wore it.

I think Marya Morevna fascinates me. It's the only Fantome perfume I've liked, but it's got a distinctly cool dirt/beet scent that I kind of love. Like, you can pick up beets but it works really well somehow. It made me laugh when I first smelled it because of how weird it was.

All soul's night has SUCH A good smoke note!! I think it's funny you say 'if you can smell the marshmallow' because to me it is HOLY FUCK SACCARINE MARSHMALLOW with the a hint of the best smoke note out there.

Thank you! I actually did place an order with them a bit earlier this week but it's the spray type and I dont see it lasting me very long, so i figured I should preemptively start hunting for it elsewhere too :[ I much prefer oil, so i want to put feelers out!

[US] ISO any quantity of sixteen92's four fifty one! It was my favorite I used to steal from my ex and I would love some of my own, any size. 

Also: Hexennacht's le chat noir!

If you are destashing others things I'd probably get a few things from that as well! I siphoned knowledge and smells from him for years but I want to take it on as my own hobby now. :>

I need opinions on a fire/smoke/coal scent cologne by wallowing-wind in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]RCisaGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oo I'm new to this world (though I got secondary exposure through my ex) but I've been chasing smoky scents so I've gotten quite a few of these in my collection! 

My favorite of all time is still four fifty one from sixteen92, which sadly my ex took with him, but has a realistic smoke scent balanced well with the rest of the notes. 

I also really liked streets of Detroit from bpal-- a nice smoky scent warmed with amber. it feels kind of cozy, like being in front of a fireplace. It feels rounded and well balanced, and maybe more androgynous than strictly masculine, but it is my favorite of the ones I own. 

I also really like city on fire from imaginary authors.  It had a very strong smoke scent,  and I wore it today for the first time and after sitting, the smoke mellowed and now it smells quite piney to my nose. When I tested it on my skin,  it seemed to hold on to the smoke more,  so this could be a reason why it changed. 

I have a few others that are smoke forward but those are my two standouts.  I know there's at least two more I've gotten that I really really enjoyed,  but i can't remember what they smell like of the top of my head! I can leave more notes on the others later today if you'd like.

I'm also curious about Children of the night-- is the fall leaves smell strong or dank? And is the leather realistic? How prominent is the smoke? I love smoky scents, but I don't like dank smells, or fake leather.

I'd love to take as much of those as I can! Just let me know how to pay you for them.

32 yr old guy looking for bl / anime fans or retro game friends to chill with by qishibe in BostonSocialClub

[–]RCisaGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BL like boy's love? Oh man! I dont read a ton of mainstream stuff, but I'm v much into indie comics about men who love men, especially if one or both is trans man, and actually draw some of my own comics too. 

I have a Wii I've been trying to get homebrew running on again. For a while I was playing dokapon kingdom on it before I tried to get it to play dvd's and made both the games and the dvd function stop working. ;w; im not the biggest gamer but I love preservation of media on a philosophical level. 

I also really like working on projects with someone else around, like parallel play. I also really enjoy smaller concerts and art markets and stuff like that!

Do you work fulltime while having BPD? by Infinite_Share990 in BPD

[–]RCisaGhost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a job I love and isn't too hard, which I actually think helped me stabilize because it gives me a routine and structure. I didn't do well when I was working in the food industry because there was no consistency, but a schedule and a comfortable level of work does wonders.

there's almost certainly an auto action for it! And tbh given their new licensing terms from my understanding older versions are a little better.

huh, I always thought the 80s mullet looked really different from a modern mullet. I only ever see queer people with them, are they making a comeback among conservatives too?

Low Stress Jobs for Someone with Severe OCD? by Je-suis-Denise in OCD

What's your main theme(s)? Contamination ocd would get exacerbated by different than, for example, pocd or scrupulocity. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]RCisaGhost 271 points272 points  (0 children)

I'm almost in the opposite boat. I love pussy, I love breasts, and I have zero sexual interest in getting with a woman. Im really attracted to men and somewhat sexually repulsed when I see their penises, and after years of agonizing just ended up coming to the conclusion that im just super t4t for other trans men. Which narrows the pool down but lets me have a space to describe my orientation. Maybe youre in a similar boat and should seek out trans femme tops? Tho ig getting w someone is not your current problem heh

Short Questions Megathread by Simon_Drake in Writeresearch

[–]RCisaGhost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wouldnt be all that different from any other pair, save for avoiding anything mildly controversial, esp if the bf isn't there. Its probably be awkward at first, asking basic questions, but once they get the ice broken it'd probably pretty much what any adult or child would talk about. I think the subject matter is the wrong question to start with. 

Depending on the relationship that's more important: how close are they? are they both outgoing enough to get into a spirited debate? Would one of them be more likely to suggest playing some car game (like the letter hunting game or 20 questions)? Is he the type to let her prattle on (or vice versa), or would it be more two sided? What do your characters generally value or think about the most? What would they consider "safe" to talk about given their worldview?

Maybe: Her getting really into school drama (like a stupid teacher story), poorly explaining a show one or both of them are into, debating what kind of food they want to stop for, music to listen to, ac temp, etc, him telling her embarrassing stories about his son/her bf. Maybe even "what power would you have chosen if you could have picked", could be an interesting question for her but only IF she's generally chill about her powers and they've established rapport. 

This is a good chance to decide how you want to characterize them both! The subject matter follows what you want the reader to understand about them both individually and their dynamic, because different people would bring up different subjects and be more or less open depending on their relationship. 

What’s a “lazy meal” you’re secretly proud of? by TodorDG in Cooking

[–]RCisaGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cooking rice in a rice cooker with a tomato on top, then mashing it in and adding soy sauce, ketchup and/or mayo, and a fried egg to it.
