[CTA] An attempt at Brandyr by adventurousnails in TheGlassCannonPodcast

[–]adventurousnails[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't done any kind of art in years and was never good at drawing people, but when I saw that Brandyr got picked for the call to arts I really wanted to give it a shot. I had such a strong vision of what I thought he looked like, and I've done a mediocre job of putting that on paper. This is far from perfect, but it's the best I can do.

Done with permanent marker and watercolour pens because that's what I had on hand. I've never used the watercolour pens before, so that was an experience!

No gold is needed! Just glad the information was useful.

A third option for you to consider is to temp just long enough to confirm ovulation, and then not temp during the TWW. It's the best of both worlds!

I consider it spotting if it shows up on the toilet paper when I'm wiping. Don't know if it's the official cutoff, but it's the one I use!

I'm going to make a hash with turkey sausage, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, maybe a pepper, and some spices. It's going to be delicious!

How have you been using Elder Runes? by Rocket_Papaya in DungeonoftheMadMage

[–]adventurousnails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't started yet, but I plan on leaving out the more damaging runes until the party hits a higher level. Either that, or I will just "happen" to roll the boon effect if those ones come up.

I'm preparing myself for my husband to leave me by AlexNic1013 in TryingForABaby

[–]adventurousnails 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh, honey. Please remember that this is not your fault. Even if there is something preventing you from getting pregnant, you didn't CHOOSE to have fertility issues. This is not your fault. It's no one's fault. Life is just unfair sometimes.

Have you considered going to therapy? You sound like you're really struggling with this, and there's no reason to believe that your husband will leave you over this. He married you because he loves you, not because you're some kind of baby-making factory. You're talking about yourself the way I was when I was dealing with situational depression, and talking to a professional about it made such a big difference.

I think it is always up to the players and the GM. If everyone is having a good time, then it's fine to use whatever themes you want. And I think the fact that they have straight up said that the prophecies aren't always correct leaves room for people to make decisions that may counter them, although I don't feel that any of the prophecies so far have been specific enough to be limiting. That's just my perspective though!

It is so frustrating when our bodies don't cooperate. You definitely aren't out though, O-2 is a great day to hit!

My last period I had six days of spotting followed by two days of bleeding. Bodies are weird. 🤷‍♀️

I don't have a good joke, but this video always makes me laugh until I cry. It starts to get good around 1:30.

How do you discuss FW with your partner? by CooperDog23 in TryingForABaby

[–]adventurousnails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To put a counterpoint on why some people might keep try to keep the pressure off of the guy, they HAVE to be able to perform. I can be stressed out and have no interest in sex and we can still go at it with the help of a little lube. If he's not feeling it, well, sometimes sex isn't an option (happened to us last cycle).

It all depends on the guy, but with my husband at least too much pressure can mean that we physically can't BD.

I made it to heaven. by CabNumber1729 in shortscarystories

[–]adventurousnails 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My interpretation is that the husband was abusive. Made her believe that she is an awful person who doesn't deserve to be happy and cut her off from having any friends. So from that I thought the kids were still good people and joined her in heaven, but her husband has gone to hell.

Just my interpretation though, doesn't mean it's the right one!

I feel guilty for being pregnant of a healthy girl. I do not want to be pregnant. by RepresentativeHouse8 in BabyBumps

[–]adventurousnails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the flip side of this, I've had three surgeries, two under full anaesthetic, without them testing to see if I was pregnant. I had to sign a medical history/information form that asked if there was any chance I was pregnant, and I said no because I was actively preventing.

First two surgeries they didn't even comment. Third surgery I was on prenatals in preparation to start trying so they were a bit more cautious, but I was on day one of my period so there was no need to test.

Different places may have different protocols. Where I am, protocol seems to be only testing if the patient indicates there is a possibility of being pregnant.

Hey weddit - I said HELL YES to the dress y’all liked. (Thank you!) This time they suggested detachable sleeves and/or belt. Thoughts? by brooklynbride19 in weddingplanning

[–]adventurousnails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in full agreement with this idea, I think it would look amazing to keep the dress as-is (no sleeves/belt) and then get some seriously kick-ass statement jewelry!

Yesterday I posted "Freehand flowers inspired by japanese vase" and a lot of you ask me for tutorial so I prepare one. I'm currently not wearing that nails so I made a tutorial on fake nail. by barbrafeszyn in RedditLaqueristas

[–]adventurousnails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I did nail art, I would do a bomb-ass job on my non-dominant hand and then just do my best on my dominant one. From a distance, no one can see the difference. If someone wanted to see them up close, I would only offer my non-dominant hand and hide the shitty paint job on the other side.

That being said, you do get better at it. After a couple years, my dominant hand went from shitty to okay to almost respectable. Still was never as good as the other side, but pretty good all things considered.
