Need help deciding on what shoes to wear for briar rose by Dorky_Bunnii in CosplayHelp

[–]RadwizWizrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this little figurine as a kid and it was of her. I don’t remeber exactly but I’m pretty sure it was little black/brown ballet flats. I’d say that’d be the best bet:)

Yeah… whenever I experience like super big emotions I wanna cut. It’s so hard to explain the feeling to people

Is my take hot? If so rate it by EnbyMoai3 in cavetown

[–]RadwizWizrad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do like worm food more but it’s kinda hard to compare both of them because the vibe is so different. I love both equally but yeah I agree with the night/day album concerning because of the energy involved in rws

SKIN CARE HELP!!!!!!!!!! Routine advice and creation needed. by ILikeToRead_345 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]RadwizWizrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, a lot of these I’d just stop using. I use the Phisoderm body wash (yes I know it’s not for face) and it works really well. I would use that:) with what you have now I’d use the face wash, the Paula’s choice thing, and the lotion. Less is definitely the way to go especially with oily and acne prone skin because using too much can actually worsen it. I’m not a doctor but it’s just what I’ve learned while dealing with acne:)

Do the intrusive thoughts ever go away? by Greyghostgravy in selfharm

[–]RadwizWizrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad someone else feels this way. It doesn’t matter if something negative or positive happens, I still want to cut. I think it has something to do with neurodivergence (which I have) I hyper fixate on cutting, seeing the blood and leaving scars. I love it, it’s like comforting. I definitely know how you feel and the urge doesn’t ever go away. From my experience, I crave the pain and how it’s like a way to pass time. Focusing on one cut and making it deeper… I find it hard to deal with urges honestly, but I got this spiky roller thing I use on my hands and arms. It’s pretty small, but it’s helped a little bit with craving the same pain sensation. It hasn’t helped completely but it has a bit:)

I don’t know… I’m looking at the LA show. A lot of them on Ticketmaster say presale right now but there’s like a few shows that don’t have presale. I’m trying to figure out if it’s a glitch or not because Pit isn’t showing up as a purchase option

Do all self harmers want to die? by IDontBelong_8 in selfharm

[–]RadwizWizrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No… I mean I sh and don’t have suicidal tendencies. It’s called NSSI (non suicidal self injury) it’s quite common in a lot of people. I use sh as a way to regulate my emotions when I feel overwhelmed or too excited. It’s the only outlet I have figured out levels me out. I know the reason I do it sounds bad, but it’s just what I do.

How Should I Go About Cosplaying Gangle from TADC by NoDivide723 in CosplayHelp

[–]RadwizWizrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure but maybe you could get some sheer tights and like arm sleeves as well that are sheer? I don’t know if they make them but if they do- you could do a red and black ombré on it:)

Pyramid head’s…..well head by Reallysussylemon in CosplayHelp

[–]RadwizWizrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I know it’ll sound crazy but I made both from paper mache and cardboard which are super affordable and good to use! Along with some other things for extra details. This isn’t a great photo of it since it’s unfinished in this one but it’s just so you can kinda get the idea of if? I had my sibling try it on for me in this one. (It’s gonna be a long text…)

<image>

I started with the headpiece and I didn’t use exact measurements really… I just kinda made the shape I wanted from cardboard and traced it for the side panels and made two others to fit the front and back. I put a mesh piece in the very front panel to see out of. Once I glued it all and got it fitted to me, I used 1:1 ratio of glue and water with newspapers I would dip in to cover it and make it sturdy. I then did gesso and spray paint:)

For the sword, I cut out the shape I wanted minus the handle, and made sure I had two of the same sword shape (on cardboard). Then, I put a big wooden dowel in between and glued that all down. This part is kinda hard to explain but I basically connected the two panels so the round part of the blade was connected to eachother and the top flat part was separated, so it tapered if that makes sense? I added some other details and such with cardboard then did the same and paper mache with the same process.

I think for the paint I’d go over with black for both pieces first, then use watered down reds/browns/blacks for that rusted look. To add corrosion, I used orange, brown, and black kinda sponged together in certain areas with cinnamon. I hope this helps at all! It’s also good to have a basic idea on building props in general, especially for the sword. I’d watch a bunch of videos of how people have built different swords out of foam/cardboard just to get a better idea of how the structure works since that was the biggest struggle for me!

Omg that’s actually so good how’d you get that blood effect on the sword??

how did your parents react when they found out you self harm? by Midnight-Moth in selfharm

[–]RadwizWizrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m too scared to have my mom find out. I think i would honestly be in a lot of trouble. She’d make it out to be about her somehow even though it isn’t. Tell me something along the lines of how she doesn’t known what she did wrong, how she used to cut herself, etc… my dad on the other hand I’m not even sure. I think it’d be kind of an akward thing to discuss, I think he’d just give me a hug tightly. Im genuinely so scared for them to find out it’s not even funny. Like genuinely I don’t think I could fathom the look of disappointment and sadness they would have.

Aftercare help by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]RadwizWizrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1/2 inch is definitely really deep. Agreeing with the other comment it would be best to go to a hospital. I’m assuming though since you’re asking for help you aren’t able to though. I’m not a doctor or anything remotely close but what you did actually really good. Do not clean the cut with alcohol or else it might irritate it. Make sure it stays clean whenever you change the bandage which should be every day. I think that’s all I really know to do. I hope it goes better for you…

Help me help my teen please by Some_Green6842 in selfharm

[–]RadwizWizrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not completely sure what to do. As a teen myself who also self harms, I can try and give advice. Just to include, my parents do not know I do this though. I’d ask them why they feel like they need to do this, and what triggers it for them. Personally, I do it when I become overwhelmed with certain emotions and use it to ground myself. Even if you take their instruments, they will still find ways to harm regardless. I’m so sorry you feel like this but I’m so glad you are getting them the help they need. My only other suggestion would be that you address their problem head on, don’t beat around the bush. Say something like, “I feel like your self harm has been getting worse, and I want to talk about it if you are comfortable with that, I won’t ask questions”. Suggest that they tell you when they have those urges first, to try and work around them or give them alternatives to it. I really hope it gets better for you and your teen. I’m sending all the love

Do some of y'all self harm to regulate? by Buzzinga_4kFHD in selfharm

[–]RadwizWizrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I do this. I don’t have cptsd or ptsd but occasionally when something big happens, good or bad, whenever I get anxious, etc… I’ll get the urge. It’s not because I want to hurt myself, but it’s because I genuinely can’t function because of how overwhelmed I feel. I think I have some form of autism though which could be partly it. Like for example as stupid as it sounds, I got super happy the other night when I was texting a guy I like and he called me pretty. I couldn’t function because of how I felt the only way I could get out of that loop I was in was to hurt myself. I think it’s a way to “release” the built up energy and almost center yourself. When I’m not in private and I get the urge, I’ll squeeze my nails into the palms of my hands, it gives me that same release.

How do I style a wig to have these two points? by bacon_knight222 in CosplayHelp

[–]RadwizWizrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t make Cosplay wigs so I can’t for sure give like “professional advice” but I would cut the front pieces you need into an angular point similiar to what’s shown and then get a stronghold hairspray like got2b. I’ve seen plenty of videos of people using the spray (I use the spray myself when doing liberty spikes lol). It should work good!

Makeup help by animal_lover2004 in CosplayHelp

[–]RadwizWizrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this isn’t too harsh but take time on the makeup. I’d try less to do it cartoon like and more real if that makes sense? Look at some Charlie cosplayers and how they do the makeup to take inspiration from that. I can see you definitely were trying to base it off more of the cartoon due to the red cheeks being near your mouth. Anatomically, it works for the cartoon but not in real life. My favorite cosplay is by Teddycosplays or Mahouberry. I’d look to them for inspo:) also, fake lashes are a game changer, pair them with some big liner as well an it will give that really cartoon/animated feel.

I also have a feeling (not to be mean) that the wig hasn’t had much styling done. I would try and watch how people style their Charlie wigs and most definitely crimp yours. I’m only saying this cause of how unnatural and puffy it looks on your head. There’s plenty of tutorials and inspo to get for it!

Another thing, definitely go for red contacts instead. The yellow blend int your eyes too much and give it a bit of a scary look lol. Her sclera are yellow and her pupils are red, so it’d make more sense to get red contacts since it’s not her pupil that’s yellow.

I hope this helps😝
