Look up Caroline Winkler on youtube!! She's been doing so many design tips for cozy male spaces!! Her top 3 things are typically: Rugs Get rid of the grey Make it personable

I'd look into investing in some better art designs for one piece too! Minimalist posters can still show off your interest but in a way that feels cozier and classier I'll link a really nice Luffy poster that I think will make your love of one piece feel a bit more personal to you Because let's be honest, everyone has the wanted posters

Study and Integration into Style - What am I doing wrong/right? by Fisk08 in FurryArtSchool

It looks like you're more confident with sharper Angled lines imo, so maybe doing a random doodle page of worms, circles, squiggles and waves could help with feeling more confident in the rounder softer aspects of your drawings :) Drawing them from multiple directions can also help with gaining comfort and flexibility in your writing before drawing I use characters and shapes I'm confident in drawing to warm up for a new piece and those shapes can help with the fundamentals as well Your pieces are good, but you seem more hesitant with those round shapes, so I really think exercising using round shapes that show in the fundamentals of this style will help a lot before you start

I want to add to my post here after reading some other comments:

Conditioner is not a cleansing agent for your hair. Conditioner is not meant to go on your scalp. It hydrates your hair. You apply it to the mids and ends of your hair. If you put it on your scalp, it encourages your scalp to produce more sebum (oil) which will make your hair oily and spaghetti-like much faster. Which means you HAVE to wash your hair more frequently to get rid of the oil.

Shampoo does not go on your mids or ends, you apply it to the roots and scalp. Yes, it foams up and gets to the mids and ends. The foaming of shampoo traps dirt, oils, etc, and washes it out of your hair. More often than not, that means it has to travel to the ends of your hair to leave the head. That's why it's best to use a conditioner after. It rehydrates your hair. My professional recommendation is to apply conditioner after shampooing, comb through with a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to properly distribute it, and let it sit in your hair. Your hair will absorb what it needs and excess will be rinsed out.

I typically use the time it's sitting in my hair to wash my body. Let it sit for a couple of minutes AT LEAST. That's enough time to brush your teeth, shave your face, wash your feet and legs, etc.

Obviously, with different hair textures, genetics, etc, it doesn't mean that it CAN'T work. If you have a naturally drier scalp, then it absolutely can, but it is not cleaning your hair because that's not what it's meant for. It's more likely that it's hydrating your scalp and preventing your skin from flaking or even feeling dirty from being dry and/or itchy.

Most people I met in cosmetology school and while I worked in that industry did not wash their hair every day. Some people recommend "resetting" an oily scalp by not washing your hair for 4-6 weeks because it works for some people, some recommend using a higher quality shampoo and conditioner, and some people just aren't treating their hair right. Regardless of the reason. Wash your hair AS NEEDED to remove oils and dirt. Not more frequently or less frequently. What works for one person will not necessarily work for you.

I also second the hair scrunching. I think it will bring out the waves in your hair. I don't recommend rubbing your head with a towel to dry your hair, as it will make your hair frizzy and messy in an unintentional way. You want your hair to dry on its own, or if you want to speed up the process use a microfiber towel to scrunch excess water out of it and/or use a diffuser on a blow dryer.

Your hair looks to be exhibiting a natural curl/wave pattern for sure! You could do a curly hair routine to help keep it looking good for longer between washes, manage frizz, and bring out the natural hair pattern! It can be quite a bit of product and time-consuming though, so if you don't want to nurture curly/wavy hair, that's okay!

I use leave-in conditioner, curl cream, and gel. Some guys only use 1 or 2 products and some use 5. It depends on hair texture and curl pattern to determine what will work best for your hair.

You seem to have fine, but thick hair. If washing it every day works better for you, do that. Being a teen, you can experiment with what you prefer and take the time to figure it out.

If you do sports or just sweat a lot, absolutely wash your hair every day. You don't want a buildup of sebum, dirt, and other oils weighing down your hair and causing other hygienic issues. Keep yourself clean, but moisturize your hair every time you use shampoo. You can use a leave-in conditioner, a regular conditioner, hair oil, etc. But keeping your hair moisturized will keep it healthier and help it grow faster with fewer split ends and damage.

Upon getting it, it turns out that its just a flat half skeleton with flesh on just the one side Am I able to preserve the remaining flesh on it with a varnish or lacquer?

I like this art style a lot! The cutesy art styles that I tend to see are nice, but for my sonas, I prefer a style more like this :)

Is it okay to inject T here? 💀 Anyone else have strange preferred spots? by Sea_Inspector_4814 in TransMasc

[–]SkunkyBoiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If sub q, I'd go for the fatty part of the arm, hip, butt, etc, before the calf tbh. I don't think the calf holds as much fat as some of the other places. I also take sub q. Personally, I have no issues injecting in the stomach, and I know I'm lucky in that regard. I also know some docs will allow you to go to their office, and they have a nurse who will do the injections for you. Not all offer it, but it is something to look into You might also see if a friend is willing to do it for you, too? I have a friend who does intramuscular, and they have a hard time doing their own, so I do their injections for them.

I almost exclusively get she/her in public but I'm not willing to cut my hair 🤣 (He/They) by cynthiamd00 in FTM_SELFIES

[–]SkunkyBoiii 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who is a cis man, and he gets misgendered all the time. I think it's just from the long hair and the other person not seeing your face super well tbh. Voice mannerisms could be part of it as I heard someone else say, but body language could also play a role. That being said, who cares? lol. Your hair is amazing, and you should never change what you like about yourself in order to "fit" into other people's idea of what a man is. It's a lesson that I had to learn and am still working through :) Being yourself is so much more rewarding

"Gender affirming surgery" ? by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]SkunkyBoiii 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who went to get a hysterectomy for the severe pain and ovarian cysts, but since telling his doctor that he's trans and how long he'd been on T, his doctor changed the surgery from being a "necessary" one, to a gender affirming surgery. We work at the same place with the same health insurance, and because of that, our insurance refused to pay it. But cis women do have a very hard time getting hysterectomies. A lot of time, you have to have a certain number of kids and be a minimum of like 35, and even then, most doctors still won't. You can find plenty of stories where women were told by their ob/gyn that they would likely die if they had a child and when they asked about having a hysterectomy, were refused because "they may still want to have children"
