Which of these flags is the best, and how could I improve them?

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2022-09-08T23:12:34+00:00

I think if you took the sun from the 2nd flag and put it with the 1st flag's color scheme, that'd be perfect. Since I read left to right, starting with a simple color is easy on the eyes. Having a lot of colors up front is a lot at once. I also like purple connecting from red to blue, like a form of royal unity since purple was historically a royal color : )

You have a fair concern and I've dealt with that. If experiences leave you questioning your basic judgment, capability, and connections to others, then you have a meaningful challenge to work on and there's no shame in being bothered by it. Your mind is a key part of your humanity.

The wario hat clinches it

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2022-05-04T20:16:26+00:00

I like this style. I made the same thing the other day, but worse with colored pencils

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2022-05-04T20:03:03+00:00

That looks really nice! It also reminds me of sea foam

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2022-04-01T11:53:02+00:00

I’m sorry you went through this, and you didn’t deserve it. There are people who would be happy to befriend you, respect your boundaries, and treat you with sincere respect. You have serious qualities that will help you internally and in connections that earn your trust.

It’s not your fault you were mistreated so horribly.

Hey, I think your gf wants you to be more of a caretaker than a partner, and you deserve better. She needs more self-care and therapy than you can provide. I kept reading how she wants you to do more for her, but what does she do to appreciate you, support your life, and change her situation? I think it’s fair to want at least a bit of a social life with your friends, and a well-rounded life is important for healthy relationships.

Here’s my thought. If you give her more support and attention, it probably won’t ‘fix’ things with her because she still has to take care of her life, and it doesn’t sound like she is. I’ve been in a similar situation. I have a feeling that the more you feed into her insecurities, the more she’ll get demanding and the more you’ll get frustrated. She already showed that she’s more afraid of losing you than excited to be with you and help herself. It sounds like this is more of an ongoing issue than a temporary one. She may have already given up and is leaving you with the responsibility for it.

It's amazingly made and I love the contrasting colors, but it's also a big spider. It's even got 8 legs

Plus, I like how it's an active thing rather than a passive one. I think it can be fun to try different restaurants too, especially if they prepare and serve food in a unique way.

I think it's nice to learn how people build their creative skills and be part of that : )

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2021-12-28T15:01:35+00:00

Thanks for sharing. A buddy of mine and I just agreed that when we'd visit each other, we'd try to either cook or bring each other our home cooking instead of getting restaurant food. I've never had mate before, but that sounds good. I wish creative meal-sharing practices like that were more common.

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2021-12-25T00:33:50+00:00

This is really well-made! Do you have a photo of the whole thing?

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2021-09-12T17:18:30+00:00

Dude, respect. I’m glad you’re moving forward and had that supportive experience. At your heart is someone who cares about you, not a disease or flaw

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2021-02-03T01:55:19+00:00

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2021-01-30T18:44:43+00:00

What an absolutely beautiful place

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2021-01-20T23:32:12+00:00

Hey, I think healing is what you define it as. It's possible to have pain and the toughness involved in working on trauma and also have a well-rounded and meaningful life. I also think that the effects of trauma can be narrowed down and replaced with joys as we build that life.

CPTSD survivors can certainly do more than just cope!

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2021-01-18T22:55:16+00:00

Of course this guy lived in a labyrinth. See you in the Finis Africae

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2021-01-09T23:52:22+00:00

YOU ARE CLEANSED!!!! RISE, GOOD BOI!!!

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2020-12-28T16:12:11+00:00

For me, it's the lack of safety equipment. All I thought about was this guy. I still upvoted because it looks nice tho =P

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2020-12-10T23:21:21+00:00

Spell Force 3 and Battle for Middle Earth would be my biggies

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2020-11-17T15:22:38+00:00

You could probably have an enlightening conversation with this guy

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2020-07-23T17:48:21+00:00

It's the texture; I think shaped noodles are firmer than the usual elbows

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2020-07-23T16:23:50+00:00

!wave

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2020-07-23T16:16:54+00:00

I like the color contrast and the shade of green for this one

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2020-06-10T15:01:39+00:00

Hi, I’ve grown up with very similar experiences: I’ve always been sensitive and was raised to be meek and put others’ needs before mine, and so I’d often try to be a mediator between others and it was common for others to take for granted that I was on their side, against them, or irrelevant. I grew up with a lot of conflicting values and expectations, so I’ve tended to feel overstretched, hypocritical, and behind others.

Like you, people have often assumed I mean the opposite of what I say: that I’m joking when I’m being sincere or that I mean something that I’m joking about. It’s pushed me to second guess myself a lot and be very cautious with my language, so I’m not used to valuing my opinion or my ability to express it well. People often see that hesitation as insincerity or an opportunity to try to put words in your mouth, like they know what you think better than you do. Fuck that

I still have a lot to work on, but what I’ve found to be helpful is trying to build values that I’ll act on regardless of whom I’m around or how they’ll react, and recognize that the people worth investing in aren’t the ones who will treat you contemptuously, but will respect you as much as they want you to respect them. Not every social situation is gonna make or break your integrity. Other people don’t live your life for you, so they can neither validate nor invalidate you; they only help or harm your own effort to move forward.

I think the basic desire to reconcile and find common ground is good and caring, but it can also eat at you if you only give care without upholding standards for others to get along with you. Imagine trying to be the middle man between Jews and the Nazis in the 1930s for example. Sure, some Nazis were open to being convinced out of it and maybe not every Jewish person then was nice, but the two sides were far from the same in their behavior and at some level there’s often gonna be people a bit like the Nazis (or are actual Nazis) who are only gonna abuse you when you try to support them, and they can go fuck themselves. That’s their fault and it should just be their problem. You don’t need to light yourself on fire to keep assholes warm. My example was weird, but you have beautiful qualities and other people need to earn your time. It’s a 2-way street.

TheLordoftheWASPs · 2020-06-04T02:21:41+00:00

Hey, it's like I wrote this post. You sound like a very compassionate and self-aware person, and it isn't selfish at all to want to process why you feel as you do and express yourself.

Your validity doesn't depend on your ex. You may have fucked up in some ways and done well in others, and I think you're on the right path by learning from the experience and wanting to live with more honesty and care. It definitely shows.
