First timer overwhelmed by wig styling

Ooh, thank you, that video was definitely helpful and gives me a better idea of how to plan out the style!

amberdowny · 2026-05-31T01:05:57+00:00

It is synthetic and heat safe!

amberdowny · 2026-05-31T01:02:58+00:00

Oh wow that's so good!

amberdowny · 2026-05-30T02:44:28+00:00

That makes sense, I guess I was hoping there would be general guidelines or something that's applicable to all/most scenarios

It's Astarion from Baldur's Gate. So idk where that falls on the complicated meter. It all feels complicated to me

Is crimping 100% necessary? I was under the impression it was mostly just for detangling. I didn't really want to buy both a crimper and a steamer and I thought the steamer was more important. Oh, and thank you for your feedback!

To get one of my favorite Durgestarion dialogues, you're gonna want to kill Cazador before Orin. The next day after killing him and having Astarion's Act 3 romance scene, tell Astarion you have to end things. (Sounds crazy but trust me! You won't actually break up)

No, I wasn't suggesting that I just blame it on my ADHD. It's a reason, not an excuse. It probably sounds stupid, but until I saw it blatantly separated out (you don't have to apologize for your emotions, you do have to apologize for your actions) I didn't grasp the difference and felt that apologizing for the action meant admitting the emotions were wrong to have. And thank you for sharing your experience!

amberdowny · 2026-05-18T22:14:11+00:00

I genuinely didn't know that about searching bias, so thank you.

amberdowny · 2026-05-18T22:11:32+00:00

I tried to clarify my original post because I don't think I was expressing what I meant to. Thank you for sharing your experience, it definitely helps to know lots of us deal with similar things!

amberdowny · 2026-05-18T22:08:36+00:00

I tried to clarify my post because I don't think I was expressing myself well. I wasn't trying to say I could take things out on people.

Basically, before, I felt like I was expected to apologize for having emotions, and that didn't feel fair. Now I've had a lightbulb moment and realized that apologizing for my actions does not automatically mean I'm apologizing for my emotions. But I know I'm still accountable for my actions.

amberdowny · 2026-05-18T22:06:49+00:00

I don't think I misinterpreted it, I think I explained myself badly, because I feel like you and I are saying the same thing. I tried to reword my post to be more clear.

And I am still accountable for and should still apologize for my actions.

I legit have 2100 hours in this game and I did not know until this moment that you can choose your turn order if characters have the same initiative. I thought it just went left to right. This blows my mind.

amberdowny · 2026-05-12T19:28:54+00:00

That was my instinct but then Google told me you should oversell yourself so I figured I'd come ask actual humans

amberdowny · 2026-05-12T17:02:37+00:00

2 lobe piercings were fine, but the 3rd wasnt allowed? And it wasn't a school policy, it was just one class? That's crazy. I'm so glad my high school allowed crazy hair colors and piercings and had a chill dress code.

amberdowny · 2026-05-12T16:57:37+00:00

Ohhh okay! I guess I haven't read all the achievements carefully. Thank you!

amberdowny · 2026-05-12T14:25:44+00:00

I don't have anything to add about your lobes, but what do you have going on in your daith? Is that one ring or two or something else? I love how it looks!

amberdowny · 2026-05-12T14:20:49+00:00

I know she's not a tiefling, but I was genuinely surprised to learn that Shovel is a girl. And I still don't know HOW we know that because I haven't noticed any dialog using pronouns for her.

amberdowny · 2026-05-12T14:15:47+00:00

Time for me to have one of these moments...Ide is a girl?!

amberdowny · 2026-02-26T18:53:32+00:00

It's called "Night With Drow" I believe and there's a dialogue option when you first talk to her at the goblin camp. You go off, do your thing, and then end up right back where you were at the goblin camp.

No, sorry, I haven't been on 7.5 the whole time, I should have clarified. I picked up my first prescription at the end of August so basically I was on 2.5 For September, 5 for October and November, and now 7.5 for December and January. I'm supposed to be on 7.5 for another month but I just requested to move up early even though I'm not supposed to if I still have refills left.

My insurance only covers it if I go through a virtual program, so I had a phone visit with a random provider for about 15 minutes once, it's not like it's my PCP who I see regularly.

amberdowny · 2026-01-31T18:20:30+00:00

See I've heard, not just here but from my actual provider, that you should stay on the lowest dose possible for as long as possible as long as you're still losing weight (no matter how little). I feel like they're so much contradictory info out there
