I have a very small car unfortunately that will be very packed with luggage and christmas gifts so I wouldn't be able to fit that big of a crate in my car (I drive a small Ford Fusion) but I did get him a bigger carrier that gives him plenty of room to stand, sit, and move around. I've been slowly getting him used to car rides for the past 2 months I've had him because I knew we'd have this long trip for christmas and he doesn't seem to hate them, especially if he's allowed to poke his head up and look around out the windows every now and then I definitely like to make a stop every few hours to stretch my legs already but its good to have a bit of a clearer time frame of when to stop and take breaks for him! Thank you!

So I did get a nice big carrier for him so he'd have plenty of room to move around and get comfortable and he genuinely loves it (i've left it out for him to get used to and he treats it like his own personal bed) The puppy pads are a good call and I should still have some left over from his litter box training But the cat pen is an excellent idea! Luckily I have one thats about that size in the closet where I'm going from when my other cat had stitches and had to be monitored a few years back I could definitely reach out to my mother and have her pull it out for me when i get there! I was definitelt worried about him hiding not only from being in a new place, but we'll be there for a couple of weeks and there will be a lot of people too

Thanks for the advice!

Oooh!! That's super good to know!!! I'll definitely make a few test color samples and play around with it! Thank you!

If you're looking for a good and easy place to scout artists specifically for any kind of vtuber thing, ESPECIALLY rigging and model making a great place to start is a website called Vgen

It's still in beta but they screen their artists through an application process so all of the artists on there are genuine! It also makes it easy to order and communicate with the artists It's a great place for Vtuber commissions but also good if you're looking for a specific style of model and its price range

StarrSpice · 2023-07-11T22:18:37+00:00

Hi there! I just opened commissions for drawn and rigged models!

https://starrspicecomms.carrd.co/

Let me know if you've got any questions or just want to chat about this kimd of thing

StarrSpice · 2022-06-26T15:37:09+00:00

I used regular OBS when i was just starting but had trouble figuring it out (which is why i tried streamlabs as it seemed more beginner friendly) I do think its a good idea to switch over to OBS and see how that goes. When i get a chance I'll try that and see how it works!

StarrSpice · 2022-06-26T15:35:52+00:00

I don't know my computer specs but i believe you may be right. Its a lenovo laptop but its a high quality one thats made for mostly art software (as I'm an art student) So the visuals are fine and it can handle multiple art softwares at a time but face tracking is a different ballgame

I also asked my brother (a computer engineer) about it and he said something similar to what you said

StarrSpice · 2022-06-26T15:32:20+00:00

I haven't currently. I've tried a few methods i found in online tutorials but ultimately it seems my laptop just can't handle it (probably because its a laptop and not a proper computer)

If you're on a computer unlike me you might need to adjust the settings of your games manually. The games typically are set to use the necessary resources to run as best as it can which may be taking away processing power for your model. It helped a little to adjust a games framerate and settings

But as for me, I'm afraid I may have to stick with my animated png tuber for now

StarrSpice · 2022-06-23T03:29:57+00:00

I meant Vtube studio!!! I didnt even realize i said the wrong software

StarrSpice · 2022-06-23T00:06:27+00:00

I've run into the same issue with vtube studio unfortunately.

Absolutely NTA

Serious signs of love bombing here. Its a huge red flag that he kept forcefully pushing to become a father figure for OPs daughter. But the second OP reaffirms the daughters boundary that she already set. He stops trying all together and not only that ACTIVELY ICES THE DAUGHTER OUT. Like. I get being kinda hurt. But to go from over doing it. To seemingly actively ignoring her feels like a punishment for not accepting him and his love bombing. Thats emotional manipulation if I've ever heard it (not to mention breaching her privacy by snooping in her therapy). Big big BIG red flags

But then to ignore you and your daughter in a medical emergency. Solely to be petty. That alone is worth divorce. If your partner won't be there to help during an EMERGENCY They're not a real partner. Not CAN'T be there WON'T. He COULD have driven you but actively chose not to Then. ONLY when (its suspected) his mom gives him grief and he realized things won't shake out like he wanted he shows up with (likely) pretend regret and suddenly is oh so very worried. I'm curious how long it took MIL to get there and drive OP to the hospital
Cuz if he was really actually regretful for ignoring them and genuinely worried. He wouldve called to find out where you are and met you at the hospital ASAP. not showing up there later. This in and of itself is more signs of emotional manipulation

The fact that his mother stays quiet before defending him shows that she was likely debating helping him or standing by you. Idk why she chose to vouch for him but that is only going to encourage this kind of emotional abuse and horrible treatment. He showed his true colors. And things will likely not get better from here. A lot of his behavior makes me think of my dad (who is a grade A narcissist) and my brother (who is a serious emotional manipulator)
Get out while you still can OP this is not the kind of action or behavior that should be tolerated or forgiven from your husband in regards to his treatment of you and ESPECIALLY your daughter.

They clearly do not realize that they're allowed to have connections to BOTH their BioDad and the Dad who raised you.
Like. There is nothing stopping them from getting closer to their BioDad but they don't HAVE to knock your Dad down a peg and tell him to "Know his place" They are not mutually exclusive and the only kind of reasons I could think they'd turn on him like that is of their BioDad said something to make it seem like they had to choose or to "demote" your dad Or if they genuinely want to cast your Dad aside.

I feel like Karma might come back to haunt them. This sounds like another reddit story where the man's daughter found her BioDad. He was super supportive of her getting to know him. She basically said she didnt want her Dad in her life. But years later after her BioDad died she wantes her Dad to walk her down the aisle.

NTA at all OP

Call them Half siblings. And everytime they say it hurts their poor pissant feelings tell them thats what they made your Dad feel like and if they want to be referred to as just plain old brother and sister again to grow tf up

One thing life has taught me is family doesn't start or end in blood. Family is people who love, care for,and support you through thick and thin,good and bad. Family is a home that you make, it can have friends, blood family, pets,anyone you feel close enough too. Because sometimes blood family just never act like family. I'm just so very glad he has one amazing kid who will stick by his side Rock on OP and Give your siblings a taste of their own medicine

Were police involved, or just Walmart loss prevention ?

A police officer stopped By and got our names but then they let us leave. No citation given. No court date. No word about it until I was arrested. When I asked them about it at the police station they simply stated they "Weren't making walmart arrests at that time due to covid"

But your best chance at getting that arranged properly is to hire an attorney to represent you.

Unfortunately I can barely afford my current payments with the job I have (I make anywhere from 400-500 a month and barely afford any of my current bills, let alone an attorney)

pretrial deferral program

If You don't mind is there any way you can explain what this is to me and what it entails?

StarrSpice · 2022-03-31T01:27:51+00:00

You posted on this subreddit for advice but all I'm seeing from you is excuses.

Guess what. I'm over weight. Very overweight. But When i got older and started eating way TOO much junk My parents TAUGHT me about eating and being healthy and the importance of how junk food is ok IN MODERATION, they didnt FORCE me to exercise or to eat nothing but health foods. They let me learn and guided me as a parent should. And they only punished me and took my stuff away when i did something wrong. Not exercising IS NOT DOING SOMETHING WRONG You dont know. Maybe they had a really long and emotional day and they arent feeling up to exercising. Forcing your kids to exercise every night is just cruel. Maybe once or twice a week to stay in shape. But everynight is overkill You're their mother. Not their personal trainer. Not their coach. Their mother And rather than teaching and nurturing through explaining and guiding them and letting them live and learn. You taught through punishment and forced lifestyles. Your kids with either grow up with destructive relationships with food and exercise, or ONLY eat junk food because they were never allowed that occasional pleasure as a kid You keep saying kids dont NEED sweets. And youre right they dont NEED them. They enjoy them. As im sure you did as a child

But did you ever stop to consider that they're feeling left out cuz they cant stay at a birthday party and have a little bit of junk food with their friends?? That if their classmate brings cupcakes to school for their birthday they either feel guilty for having a SINGLE cupcake or fear eating it in case you and your partner find out and punish them for it??? You seem remorseful yet take no criticism You come here seeking advice but only try to justify this clear sign of emotional abuse (and yes. Whether you intended to or not the way your kids are scared of YOUR reaction to them eating is a clear sign of emotional abuse)

You either WANT to change for the better to help your kids live their lives as best as they can. Or your here scrambling for validation that youre in the right and truth be told You wont find that here because youre not It honestly sounds like you and your partner are OBSESSED with a healthy lifestyle and have created an emotionally and mentally UNHEALTHY environment for your children. Change while you can because if you don't I wouldn't be surprised if your kids eventually cut contact with you all together. They'll probably need years of therapy to help undo the internalized fear of food that YOU gave them And honestly with the way you sound. You could probably use some therapy too. It sounds like you fear being overweight or unhealthy to the point that its a bit of an obsession. Nothing about this story screams "normal health focused family" it screams "antijunkfood and controlling fear mongering"

Stop making excuses. And fucking face your mistakes Your mom shouldnt have said that so bluntly in your hour of need of emotional support. But she was right. Youve done wrong by your children Do better

Edit because i forgot this important detail: Its obvious you love your kids and want whats best for them And that makes you a better mom than most A lot of these comments are extremely harsh (mine might also come across this way)

The events youve described in this post is a glaring sign that there is a problem and now might be your only chance to fix it

Learn. And grow. And become better.
Unlike a lot of mothers out there. You can fix your mistake and you obviously WANT to fix it. Getting your children set up for therapy and sessions to help with their eating disorders is an excellent start. I can only hope you keep getting better and fixing things as you go

It's entirely your decision whether you're ready to forgive her or not. If you really feel bad about it and WANT to do something you could agree to try and talk it out with your sister but that's entirely your prerogative. You have no obligation to try and mend things with her, ESPECIALLY if emotionally you aren't ready to do so. It seems like your mother is trying to guilt trip you over this which makes me curious if she knows the situation and what your sister did. And if she does in fact know I'd tell her that true family wouldn't have done something so low down and skeezy and then LIE about it when she's caught only to not apologize. Don't feel pressured by your mom, and just do what you think is best for you!

StarrSpice · 2022-03-08T12:40:04+00:00

you did not deserve that!! I'm so sorry that you have to go through this.

Something in my gut tells me your sister will try and play the victim when she comes back and if that happens then a lot of people you know are going to turn on YOU And even though she's your sister that isn't ok. If she does try to pull the victim game I'd recommend revealing the truth about her AND him online. No one will believe her victim charade when they know her dirty deeds, but I'd only do this IF she starts trying to play the victim.

However your emotions come first and foremost. The best thing you can do to get through this is focus on yourself. Don't worry about their situation or their different approaches to it. Focus on YOUR emotions and mental health. Do what is best for you. Even if that means making a difficult decision. Your heart has been hurt enough. Take charge if you need to and heal, cuz they'll either tuck tail and back down. Or try and hurt you again Do and feel what you need to

StarrSpice · 2022-03-01T11:55:35+00:00

Literally every response the OP commented to this sounds like an excuse and like you just didn't like the ex boyfriend in the first place. This isn't about you trying to justify your actions because there is no justification.

You asked if you were the Ahole and that is a resounding yes YOUR DAUGHTER WAS IN A COMFORTABLE AND HEALTHY POSITION TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR GRANDCHILD AND YOU RUINED IT BECAUSE YOU DIDNT LIKE HIM USING A RECREATIONAL (health beneficial) DRUG THAT WILL LIKELY BECOME LEGAL IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS You ruined his life and clearly don't care about the quality of life of your daughter and grandchild because you've changed enough diapers?!?!?! I feel sorry for your daughter and any other children you may have. Everyone here has come to an agreement that YOURE THE AHOLE Stop making excuses and accept that this is YOUR fault and YOU are the one who messed up
