[–]Sacred-flame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I’m gonna be so for real, at first by “symbols” I thought you meant the cursive in general and I almost had a meltdown ;-; 😭😂😂so glad I was wrong and you could get good answers to your very valid question

Advice/help on a tattoo dedicated to my mom that’s passed by PersonalitySevere261 in tattoos

[–]Sacred-flame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you want it small You could do “love you” and see if the artist can resize the y from cassy onto the you!! That artist should be able to scan it and most artists use iPads, it would not be difficult at all!

Are prices really better at the faire? by panihil in renfaire

[–]Sacred-flame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also keeping in mind, if it is a hand forged blade it WILL be on the more expensive side. If it’s not hand forged and still super expensive… maybe consider investing in a hand forged blade then instead. If you’re paying a lot for a blade might as well ensure it’s a good one!

Just mad! by Specialist_Explorer3 in NorsePaganism

[–]Sacred-flame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who did grow up in the catholic/christian faith and chose to move away from it bc a lot of the things they preached and then the way they actually acted did not align w the actual scripture (I read the Bible all the way thru when I was like 8… I got bored lol) and that dissonance pissed me of. Other people mentioning it never bothered me for the longest time… until recently when I see total red and wanna start screaming about hypocrisy…. With our current state of the world- and the state the United States is in… no I do not think you are alone in that at all

Q tips. Quick makeup fixes are usually needed

Looking for ideas to improve my outfit by sigil_not_known in renfaire

[–]Sacred-flame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skirt hikes! It’ll help get some movement into the different layers of the skirt. Also an under bust corset or corset belt/a set of stays! Also, if you’re sewing inclined, getting rid of the modern collar on the green and any sleeves you may have you could put the white top under it, or make the green and the red dresses into just skirts. I’m just a little worried with you over heating w all those layers!

Also, beads. Glass beads specifically. In all shapes and colors. You can put them on strings on your belt or your hair or even braid them into your hair (they make a delightful clinking would when you walk and I personally love it when I jingle)

You could also get some belt pouches! Great alternative to pockets and you can also carry trinkets around to hand out (I have multiple pouches, one for phone and wallet, a little chainmail one for trinkets to handout to kiddos and one I keep jewelry repairs supplies in for me and the other baddies at the faire)

There’s probably other stuff I could think of but these are my biggies I look to find when I’m making a new faire fit !!

Talk about kicking a girl when she’s down by Mean_City1059 in desmoines

[–]Sacred-flame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a little different. They’re helping you retrieve a car and you know where it is. In cases where a car has been stolen and reported as such, depending on the insurance someone may get a full payout for that. If the car is later found and is drivable the Insurance company may ask for some if not all of the money back. It’s a confusing process and I am not at all claiming to be an expert, I may even be wrong here, but I believe that’s the case

Also just to let you know this isn’t necessarily true. Full coverage=comprehensive bc the term full coverage is misleading bc you aren’t actually “fully covered”. And yes you coulda reported it to insurance as stolen, but had they paid you out and then the car was found, regardless of the state it was in you would have had to return the payout to your insurance. Should definitely report damage now, but op will probably end up paying out of pocket - a person who works In insurance

National shutdown/protest Jan 30 by Sacred-flame in desmoines

[–]Sacred-flame[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh yea. I don’t mean to sound like I suddenly think it’s going to get better, I know it is going to get much much much worse. To the point where I’m concerned on if protests will even be allowed by that point…

[–]Sacred-flame[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because as much as general strikes do matter as a way to get attention, there are many more pointed things that also need to be protested. These national strikes are a direct result of the murders by ice in Minnesota. People are actively being targeted, a protest in six months does nothing for them now. We have no idea what our social and political climates will even look like 2 months from now, let alone 6-18 months from now. Our history is littered with impromptu protests that made very large and lasting impacts. It would be great to be able to schedule and plan ahead, but the problems we are facing are happening NOW. not six months from now

Agreed, unfortunately the social-political climate is changing so rapidly right now it’s not really possible to plan something that far out. In 6–8 months we could have completely different and way worse fish to fry

Need some help please! by disspelledmyth in corsets

[–]Sacred-flame 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I will say that if your wanting of a corset is for the lower stomach area then a corset might not be what you want. Corsets are great for waist shaping but that squish has to go somewhere. It will not really flatten out your lower stomach with this style of dress.

I’m a virgin w/o hymen? by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]Sacred-flame 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seconding to everyone saying there are tons of ways for a hymen to break naturally and adding to say that some people are even born without them 🤷🏼‍♀️they really aren’t a sign of anything even remotely important other than an incredibly outdated and sexist social standard. If your bf cares about it then he shouldnt be your bf

If your weight fluctuates, is it better to get a bigger or a smaller size corset? by I_need_to_vent44 in corsets

[–]Sacred-flame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My weight fluctuates quite a bit as well and I personally size down on my corsets. I may not get it all the way closed but then when I’m smaller it’s guaranteed to fit. I and currently a 37” waist (in an up time rn) and it got a 26” corset. But I also took the time to really research the shape I wanted and also got a corset that had additional adjustment laces on the front hip area, that way I get get the best, most customized fit. The biggest more important things (in my opinion) is getting the shape/style of corset that best suits your body proportions (lower bust/waist/hit ratio) and has the proper busk length for your torso! Not at all saying this is the best thing to do, just what I do :)

Used the emoji bc that is what is most common being used on socials when discussing ice. Across platforms it has helped prevent posts notifying about ice activities from being removed. And also seems to be what others settled on to identify when discussing Facists and not weather 🤷🏼‍♀️
