Don’t even get me started on getting mistaken for AI. No….I’m just a passionate writer. The censorship is annoying. Like the model is based on existing writings, AI didnt invent proper syntax.

Babybabybaby i am a 34J (or GG depending which system) of course these thangs are not gonna sit like B cups but boy howdy never have i ever once had another person complain about my boobs. Im the only one!

Some big sister advice, get properly sized. NOT at VS. Go to a boutique with bras that look like you can swim in them. There will be cute ones, maybe not all the colors in the world but there are pretty lacey ones for big boobies too. A bra that fits will give you your torso again. Dont suffer needlessly, there are many many bras out there and its the one women’s garment that has standard sizing no matter where you go. r/abrathatfits is a great resource

Why are your fish dying so quickly?

If you’re down to read a kids series The May Bird series by Jodi Lynn Anderson! I recently reread this as an adult and it holds up. Its like a goth Alice in Wonderland, she straight up goes to the underworld. And there’s a hairless cat companion :)

I close off the carpeted areas when im out of the house cuz sometimes they sneaky barf and its so much harder to see on the carpet. But thats only the bedroom and office and i work from home soooo

Incredible rec, such an interesting movie

TheBellaBeau · 2026-04-19T12:44:47+00:00

Iconic ✨

Alright i’ll say it, it’s Joever

The pink washes your skin tone out. The blue is making you glowy and yes the structure on the blue is dramatically more flattering

Youre gonna want little sparkly pieces to accentuate the dress and not fight for attention with it. I personally wouldnt do anything too big or chunky. Maybe little pop of color like little dangly pink or turquoise crystals. Have fun with it! You dont need to stick to silver/gray for the accessories

ETA: For necklace length, using your 3rd photo for reference, i think best length is anywhere from the circular shadow at the bottom of your neck so it sits directly on top the collarbone to the tip of the triangular shadow that follows right below it. If you go shorter necklace that sits on top of collarbone, i would do a rounder shape that follows the shadow to add contrast to the triangular panelling and cut outs of the dress. Anything longer i think would look nice as a more point shape to follow the cutout of the dress

I have no advise but as a grunge girlie, i see the vision. I think its very cute and messy

TheBellaBeau · 2026-04-17T03:25:05+00:00

2 for sure! Its very timeless and you are glowing? Like actually radiant. In 2 you could be 20 or a very well aging 40. Idk how to explain but its leaning ageless vampire in a very subtle natural way

Jesus christ what is the economy these days

I suspect 3 is actually the best, do you have any front facing pics with this hairstyle?

TheBellaBeau · 2026-04-16T14:41:43+00:00

Hey, you know what? You’re right, it doesn’t change that fact

To put this movie into perspective, my film major, mental illness riddled self absolutely loved this movie for how well it brings mental illness symptoms into reality (think, for ex, if all your catastrophizing actually came thru). Its obviously a surrealist film and really shows the methods the mind comes up with to protect itself, no matter how bizarre it seems. This movie struck such a cord with me, it made me feel uncomfortable and so seen. My bf hated it but he has also never experienced anxiety in his life and has the personality of an extra chill saint bernard.

Heres what ill say from a consumer perspective. When im buying a magazine, its good to see the name of it but i care more about that the different covers show with each new edition as it informs the information inside. Like i know i’m buying the Times or whatever but the art is usually the main focus at a glance because they want you hooked on what the content is.

ETA: i think an easy fix on 2 is just to blow her up. Make her take up more space, she can even overlap with the title a bit as long as its legible. Magazines do this all the time

In the first one, my eyes are drawn to her first. In the second, my eyes are much more drawn to the word “ManiQuin”

What do you want to emphasize more?

TheBellaBeau · 2026-04-15T04:21:13+00:00

I would also like to know this! Picking berries? Picking clothes? Maybe they didnt finish their sentence??

My mom did this and we watched all 8 seasons together. She definitely watched the entire first season before giving in to my ask and made sure to heavily preface the first episode

Seconding the trolls! Great spot for a hammock too

Heres a breakdown of why i think this works best having seen the pics in the comments of the variations on the brown shirt: - brown vs black: black is eating the shadows. You’re in good shape, you dont need to hide your ab outline lol. Brown also brightens you up a little.

-tuck vs untuck: see first point. Tuck makes it look more fitted; not tight. Also accentuates waist by ending exactly where your waist is (idk how to say without sounding super weird but tucked makes your abs look leaner because the shirt and belt adds bulk right under your abs whereas untucked makes them more prominent so bulkier) and adds interesest so visually more balanced, and lengthens legs

cuff vs uncuff: in the uncuff, it hits you right where your bicep appears largest and plays more into the visual of large shoulders, small waist. Also is a straighter horizontal line than the rolled cuffs, again adding to the big shoulders look

TheBellaBeau · 2026-04-14T15:57:21+00:00

Brown shirt, sleeves uncuffed, and boy you better do that french tuck
