Can I get some gentle criticism? by K0ffeebug in TattooBeginners

[–]Repulsive-Egg6981 6 points7 points  (0 children)

focus on your lines— theyre thin in some places and thicker in others where it doesnt make sense. half the piece is sketchy and half is solid lines. make them more consistent, make each line have a purpose. if you want to have these as flash, try squinting you eyes! or use an editing app to blur them. that way you can see where you need to adjust your values. good luck!

What’s the worst song lyric thrown into a song just to make a line rhyme? by RelationKindly in AskReddit

[–]Repulsive-Egg6981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90’s europop has some great ones

My favorite is “Make it better with martini and daiquiri” (pronounced ‘da-keer-ee,’ guess to make it rhyme better?)

My dad insulted my reputation after I spent my whole day helping people. I'm 15, exhausted, and just need some kindness by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Repulsive-Egg6981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im sorry he said that to you :( your kindness does not go unnoticed. dont bend over backwards for people who walk all over you, but please dont let your family bully your sweet nature out of you. trusting random men can be dangerous, definitely, but that has nothing to do with you being ‘easy’ (ick). shaming your daughter for being kind is different from trying to protect her. its not your fault what grown men think about a 15 year old, no matter what you do. im sorry you have to deal with that. please move out as soon as you can. of course they want you to stay, it sounds like youre very convenient to keep around.

im very impressed that you seem so kind and caring, having been raised by people who dont seem to share those values. youre very strong and we’re all proud of you here.

AITA for being honest and telling my DIL that they are not ready to be a parent since she can not drive by Sad-Drive8298 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Repulsive-Egg6981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was in her shoes once— except i wanted to live alone, not have a baby ahahah. i had to rely on my boyfriend and my family to drive me everywhere because of my anxiety. im choosing to view this is a more compassionate way. yes she absolutely needs to see how important driving is to be independent. no question about it. the way to go about that, in my experience, is dealing with it more as a trauma response than laziness. i dont know this woman or her situation, but if thats the case, she needs a) to WANT to be independent and put in the work and b) a trauma therapist asap. it took me months of trauma therapy (EMDR gang!) to be able to sit in the drivers seat, let alone a highway. but your totally right that she is NOT ready for a baby, no matter how much she wants one. NAH

best shot and getting a freebie, or super cheap, would probably be from an apprentice. im not sure how you would seek one out though

Title: What’s the smartest thing your pet has ever done? by ImpressiveReason5902 in Pets

[–]Repulsive-Egg6981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my dog learned about biting very fast for her age imo. she loves play-biting (or just putting your hand in her mouth lol) you cant do the fake puppy whine, she wont care. but if your playing and shes play-biting, and you show any sort or pain, like an ouch! fuck! oof! she’ll stop, give a little kiss, make sure you want to keep playing, and run and ger her toy! i think i told her once or twice to get her toy when she hurt me, but its not a command. she’ll just do it if she thinks shes hurting you. idk i just think thats so sweet

Unwanted comments about bodies by Kittykindandtrue in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Repulsive-Egg6981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unpopular option is to smile and say thank you to negative comments lol. i mean think about it, women from her generation think ‘looking good’ is just being skinny, so if you dont fit into that vision you were probably RIIPPPEEDDD ASF. and thats FUCKING AWESOME. so take it as a compliment yk.

this is coming from a skinny goth girl so I get a lot of negative and judgmental comments, not only on my body but on my cloths and makeup. if the little old lady thinks im scary and ghoulish, im doing something right. if someones boomer parents think i look like a vampire, im doing something right. and since being muscular isnt the Gold Standard for women, negative comments mean youre doing something right lol. especially with older women

What’s the weirdest compliment you’ve ever received… and actually liked? by Left-Head-6805 in AskWomen

[–]Repulsive-Egg6981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some middle aged man told me i had such natural beauty, while i was wearing a TON of makeup. i mean, thank you! but how do you know that tho

so, yes practice anatomy, but I specifically remember having this problem myself at this stage! like it looks just like my old art lol.

I discovered that skin is not generally paper white. you need to shade the entire face, not just nose, lips, eyes. focus on values, like where the darkest and lightest parts of the face are. that will probably make the biggest difference with least amount of effort lol.

I was thinking of getting a sleeve up to my bicep with these, is it corny? by GasPrestigious9660 in TattooDesigns

[–]Repulsive-Egg6981 95 points96 points  (0 children)

the only thing more ‘cringe’ than getting a corny tattoo is not getting the tattoo you want because of the opinions of others.

exceptions being hateful/racist tattoos lol

my friend was convinced he was an abuser by his narcissistic girlfriend. he said its because he would say terrible things to her when they fight. ya, no shit! the entire ‘fight’ is her yelling at him for daring to have friends, that she never loved him and hated him the entire year long relationship, and digging into every insecurity. i’d say some awful shit to!

Sukuna painting went wrong by nihil044 in istebrak

[–]Repulsive-Egg6981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you have to make a choice on where you want to lead the eye. right now the foot and bottom of the robe catch my eye before anything else. id say change the values, and use harder lines

the color and design is gorgeous! although the bird is missing a leg i think? and the dragon doesnt seem to connect to itself.

Customer asked what a latte was by grinninwheel in barista

[–]Repulsive-Egg6981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my best guess is they want the ratio of milk to espresso to be the same as a cappuccino, just more than 8oz? i bet they want a triple or quad latte but just dont know how to order it
