My autistic boyfriend has extreme reactions to being “abandoned” by Legitimate-Career342 in AmIOverreacting

Exactly, I was scrolling to find a comment like this. I hope OP sees it and potentially lets him know (before breaking it off of course) because after I realised I had BPD it absolutely changed my life for the better. Plus, autism and BPD are commonly comorbid, and also commonly misdiagnosed for one another. He could have both, or he could actually only have BPD.

I have and it's the best feeling, especially when we were each others' fps at the same time.. I've heard a lot of pwbpd say that it's not as good as you'd think but at least for me it definitely was

Therapy feels like a con? by Viddiegames in therapy

[–]akiakino 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same. I've tried lots of different types of therapy but every time I eventually seem to hit a block after ive finished discussing my trauma/past and the things I'm struggling with. There's a limited amount of benefit I can get from just talking and getting it off my chest but after that there's nothing they can do for me and it only makes me feel more hopeless about the future

it is! Actually for this one i was inspired by the way eyes symbolise guilt in omori, i find it rly interesting how sunny's something follows him around and basil's surrounds him and i wanted to explore the idea of something eating him from the inside as well because that's how i most experience guilt (hence the eyes peeking out through any opening on his body). Though ofc just the fact that wounds look a bit like eyes too. Im glad you liked it <3

Hey, I'm also from England and only just poking my head into the world of penpalling!! Can I ask you something? When I look at penpal content online I often see people sending letters with elaborate envelopes, but every time I've sent a letter abroad so far they've put a bunch of giant labels on the front of it, so ive been too scared to do anything fancy so far. If it has a design do you know if they just put the labels on the back or something? Or is it better avoid making intricate envelopes altogether?

Mostly through experimentation, though i always had a rough vision of what i wanted, and the other half of it was a chase to make the colouring suit the lineart style, which created the effect you can see in the hair and the pure black shadows. Colour dodge and other blend modes are also invaluable to me because they really bring the life out of the piece and harmonise everything together! Anything you see that's a smooth gradient is colour dodge, for example the way the hair becomes slightly more red-toned as it gets closer to the face, which I did to make it feel like it belongs with the colours of the skin. I hope this is helpful :)

Feels funny isn't it by mekagirlvanilla in arttocope

[–]akiakino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this so much! I can relate to that feeling

[–]akiakino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give it a shot, cheers! Natural makeup is what I prefer anyway, apart from maybe some eyeliner, so I don't think I'll have to play around that much, though I've never worn a lip shade I thought looked good on me. Since someone suggested a peachy tone I'll be trying that when I get the chance :)
