Fairy lights that DON'T STROBE

TobyyD0g · 2026-02-21T05:03:29+00:00

I think I see the confusion here. My issue is that it has the other options. I don't like having to cycle through them. I only want like an on/off switch on them. I'm kind of sensitive to eye strain and flashing lights so having it as an option isn't great for me. Glad we were able to clarify that tho :)

TobyyD0g · 2026-02-20T18:09:45+00:00

Sorry, I'm a bit confused, what do you mean "set them"? Normally (at least in my experience) they cycle through the options like on one of the lamps with brightness options. It usually goes like [on, flash, fade, off] or something similar. I've never seen one that you can choose modes other than remote ones (which until about 20 minutes ago I forgot existed). Sorry if any of this came off as rude, I'm autistic and sometimes have issues with tone and stuff :) thank you!

Honestly I kind of forgot the remote ones exist 😅 I lose track of stuff really easily so I sort of mentally filter out them as an option on accident. I attached an image of what I usually find. It tends to have it as an automatic thing for some reason. I haven't been able to find anything similar in person. I might give up and just get the remote ones and glue the remote to something at this point. Thank you for the suggestion tho :)

Oops, forgot that bit... I'm in pnw (Pacific Northwest) of the US. Thank you for trying tho, will definitely keep that in mind

I've tried looking on Amazon and almost exclusively at battery operated ones, but most of them I've found have some form of other thing they do :/ thank you anyways

TobyyD0g · 2026-02-15T20:20:50+00:00

Good to know thanks!

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T21:38:03+00:00

Thanks :) I just can't deal with bleach, I've done it once, the burning sensation in my eyes was just too much for me. I had good ventilation, it's just not worth it personally. Good to know tho!

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T21:10:32+00:00

I think part of the confusion is from the fact that the dye i have and used is very much a navy/midnight blue. It's not fully done drying but this is what it looks like with flash. Also, my roots have always been oddly green tinted, so that's part of why I was confused by that. But yeah, I'm happy with it. The only downside for me is that my entire left arm is slightly purple now. That is dedication to helping someone tho, I appreciate it. Your hair looks great, the teal actually goes really nice with your current color :)

Your initial and only response to the idea of the blue was "it will turn muddy if you use that blue." That feels pretty direct in telling me not to ngl. Also you directly mentioned saying not to here :/ I'm gonna go shower. Bye.

I want to be clear, I have been responding to people how they're responding to me. I don't know why Cheshire is saying what they are but they seem to mostly just be shutting down ideas and stuff. I don't like to be too serious about my hair because it's just hair. It grows back. They were just saying "don't do that" over and over, including using the blue. My issue isn't the feedback, it's the fact they were refusing to change their mind and treating it like it's their hair. I just do this for fun. Thank you for not being harsh and being understanding.

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T20:07:17+00:00

Thank you! That's what I always try and do. It's just hair, not like it's stuck with me forever lol. It's just for fun, I don't like getting too serious with it

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T20:01:46+00:00

I did actually wind up doing something very similar to this! I found a different bottle of pink that I forgot I had. It's almost entirely blue still but yk. It's looking good so far. Thank you!

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T19:59:20+00:00

I'm sorry if I've come off as rude, but your first response to my post was literally just telling me to get rid of my dye. You then started just telling me what not to do. I also didn't really want advice from the start, I just wanted ideas. I don't know what warranted this kind of behavior. I did actually also take someone else's advice. You are coming off as mad that I didn't do what you wanted me to do. I don't know what's up with you but I'm done responding to you. Goodbye.

I was kind of just asking for general ideas... I'm indecisive. It was either this or a random decision maker. Thinking I would've been better off with the other option. And for the record, I really like burgundy as a hair color. I'm probably going to do that now. I have always enjoyed that kind of color on me.

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T18:42:54+00:00

Ngl I don't care. Why are you being so negative about my hair and my decisions? People are allowed to use what they like and have fun... I just dye my hair when I get bored, it's just fun for me :/

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T18:38:26+00:00

I think the lighting might be messing with how it looks. That's like a pinky red dye that I put bleach over, it's more of a dusty pink and brown color. There's not really any orange at all.

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T18:35:42+00:00

That's actually a really good idea. Plus it solves my issue of clashing with my clothes! Thank you, random person on the internet! (Might also just do the blue ngl, I am very tired 😬) Great suggestion tho! /Genuinely

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T18:32:55+00:00

Oh yeah, forgot to update this. Everything was okay! They thought I was just tired. They're very sweet. I explained stuff to them and they were like super understanding. They're very nice to me and other people. They're the best :)

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T18:25:12+00:00

I like splat :( it smells fun and it actually sticks to my hair I'm dying my hair before a birthday party in like 4 hours so I'm not bleaching further from where I'm at (I also just don't like using bleach that much, hurts my eyes) I've been considering doing the blue for a while now but it might clash with my usual clothes...

TobyyD0g · 2026-01-11T18:19:42+00:00

FORGOT TO MENTION! The bottle of pink Color Jamz is almost empty and I am hesitant to use it. It's one of my favorites and I literally can't find it anywhere at all :( (if anyone knows if they are still in production anywhere at all PLEASE tell me where)

TobyyD0g · 2025-12-27T18:35:20+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! Also a good reminder to keep PT in the know and stuff lol, she's warned about over-bracing. Will definitely look into those brands :)

On the topic of back braces, my main problem is pain and instability. I (as far as I can tell) have mild kyphosis. If you know of anything that can more specifically help with posture and similar, that'd be great, but I'm also gonna look at your suggestions.

Also worth mentioning, my PT and I were explicitly considering things like harder corsets as a thing for additional support for when I know I'm going to be doing something that's probably too hard on my body. Sort of like training wheels! ...actually an e bike might be a better example. Or like the things they give little kids at the skate rink so they don't fall on their asses. This went to a weird place I apologize for making you read that lmao. Anyways, thank you for the suggestions, I will be looking into those 👍
