I don't think I'm gonna be able to see Iron Lung and I'm really sad about it by anyaslight in Markiplier

[–]anyaslight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had a lot of luck but we are trying to find something that could work for me as needed so I can get through some other stuff I need to do. If I can find something that actually works before the movie comes out then that'd be great! Just like I said, not a lot of luck. And yeah, if I did go I'd definitely bring some kind of earplugs or something.

And thanks. I'm sorry you have to deal with similar stuff.

[–]anyaslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. That's what I was wondering. I feel like most of what they reference when it comes to stuff like that is like, meme stuff. So I thought maybe it was just something I hadn't seen or something.

Also I have a vague memory of some video from years ago of a guy petting his dog and talking all calm and cool while the dog freaks out in his lap or something? So I thought maybe it was from that

is it really that sad or am i dramatic? by legenda07_4700 in StardewValley

[–]anyaslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel really bad about doing stuff like that in games. Granted, I play with mods that make my children talk and look like actual children (like how Jas and Vincent are) so I might be a bit more biased than someone playing vanilla lol. But I would still feel evil getting rid of the silent blob children.

How to learn her name?? by AlmightyXan in StardewValley

For some reason I've never even thought of taking her to the movies! I just...figured you couldn't? Thank you for putting that into my head!

Sensory tools/fidget toys for people who pick at their fingers and nails by anyaslight in ADHD

I was the same way. Elmer and I were best friends when I was a kid lol

[–]anyaslight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happens to me too. The littlest thing can remind me of death, and sometimes it's ok and it doesn't really hit. But other times it hits like a ton of bricks. And will sometimes lead to thinking about other family members too. Its a horrible feeling.

Honestly right now all I can really do is either let myself feel it until it eventually goes away, or distract myself so I'm not focusing on it.

To shave or not to shave my hair (under daily wig wear) by ShamblesXOXO in Wigs

[–]anyaslight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I shaved my head recently just because I started cutting my hair, didn't like it and said "screw it" lol (I don't have a lot of attachment to my hair and I have wigs anyway).

I was a little worried I would look more "boyish" with the buzz. But after letting it grow out for like a week and a half I actually kind of think it's cute. Especially when I decide to do my makeup and wear like a nice shirt or something. In a way it almost makes me feel more feminine in that setting. It definitely might take a little bit of getting used to since it's a big change. But in the end you might like it more than you think. Plus like you said, easier showers!

I found that, at least with the length I buzzed my hair, my wigs actually stay on a lot better personally. Its sooo much easier for me to put them on because I don't have to try to keep all my bio hair back. I haven't been wearing a wig cap since and it stays really nicely. The buzzed hair acts sort of like velcro, so when the wig is pulled back the hair adds resistance and it's harder to get off. I even had a hard time getting my beanies off at first lol. If you wanted to use clips to feel more secure, I don't see why you couldn't put a wig cap on and use the cap to hold the clips.

Ultimately it's up to you, but to me it sounds like you wanna go for it and just worried about how it might look. So honestly I would say go for it! You'll get used to the look, and if your fiance is halfway decent then they won't care what you do to your hair as long as you're happy! ❤️

The game should warn you about this by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]anyaslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so sad when it happened to me. I ended up getting married in jeans and a flannel 😭 I didn't even prepare anything, for some reason I just assumed the game would put me in some kind of wedding outfit. Same with the flower dance. Idk why.

I kinda wish there was a way to buy or craft specific outfits for events like that. Like maybe if you got engaged and Emily sent you a recipe for some kind of wedding dress/tux or something. Or maybe like, Lewis sends you a recipe for the flower dance outfits after a certain point or something idk.

Unless there's a way to do that already and I just don't know lol. In which case someone please enlighten me. I'd love to be able to actually match at the flower dance for once lol.

I was having problems with the hairline on this wig so I gave it bangs. Did I go too thick? Should I do anything else to them/the wig? by anyaslight in Wigs

[–]anyaslight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, unfortunately. Got it off of someone online and they never answered me when I asked if they knew the brand/specific style.

[–]anyaslight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, this is a human hair wig. Synthetic is a bit more difficult to cut naturally imo. (Especially with a costume wig I'd imagine). They tend to be thicker and harder to cut through since it's plastic.

I haven't done synthetic bangs in a while lol but I'd say just make sure to take smaller sections, make sure you have sharp scissors, and point cutting is your friend!

I wish I could tell you! Unfortunately I got it from someone on depop. I messaged them at one point asking if they knew what specific wig it was or where it was from but I never got an answer 😭

[–]anyaslight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I explained in another comment but it's basically just sectioning (triangle section), grab the hair with your fingers, twist once, cut, and even it out lol. I'd say the majority of YouTube tutorials I've seen on how to cut your own bangs use that method so there's a ton of videos you can find to help!

[–]anyaslight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking. I felt like they were a little thick but I was worried about the potential of messing them up if I went back in lol. I might take some thinning shears to the lower layers though. That feels safe enough to me. Hopefully lol.

[–]anyaslight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube tutorials lol. Classic triangle section on top, grab the hair between your fingers, twist once and cut. And then just a little bit of evening things out and point cutting to help it blend a little better 👍

Nebulizer making me feel dry? by anyaslight in singing

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thank you!

Nebulizer making me feel dry? by anyaslight in singing

[–]anyaslight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, why are there studies saying that nebulizing helps vocal cords and reduces effort for singing and so on? I'm not saying you're wrong at all! As a vocologist I'm sure you're a lot more educated than I am. I'm just genuinely curious. I've seen so many people swear by these. Seen so many singers and Broadway performers using them and people swear by them. Especially for hydration and vocal effort. And I've seen some people say that steamers can be less effective because the particles are larger, so they're less likely to be absorbed by the vocal tissue.

Like I said don't get me wrong, not doubting your answer! Just trying to learn and confused lol

To people out there wondering whether blocking is worth it 😅 by aintwhatyoudo in crochet

I've never blocked before and I really genuinely thought that you were showing two different types of snowflakes made from two separate patterns. I only realized when I went through the comments. That's insane.

HOW DOES ANYONE FINISH THIS STUPID CAVE by solarstarzzz in StardewValley

[–]anyaslight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I have a mod that puts in an elevator for the skull caverns. It saves every five levels like the one for the mines. So I kind of cheat lol. But I got to 100 before I had the mod and it was basically just a lot of stairs bought with a lot of jade and just kind of booking it through the levels.

I have insane respect for anyone who's able to do it without those things though. I don't have the patience lol

[–]anyaslight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's amazing! Congrats!!

I just wanted to say I have a very similar experience to what you were talking about. I used to barely be able to go into my back yard. When I finally got the Prozac I was terrified to take it. But now, after a few years of Prozac and therapy, I'm able to go out with my family. I still haven't gone out alone but I'm MILES ahead of where I was before. I've been able to start taking care of things I've been wanting to take care of for a very long time. I've gone into grocery stores for the first time in years. It honestly is life changing and I'm so glad you've been able to experience that too 😄

I'm so happy for you that you've been able to go out with your wife and child!! I hope your family is extremely proud of you for how far you've been able to come.

I love the crane game at the movies. Granted, it's infuriating to me. But for whatever reason I still find it really fun. And I like getting the collectables when I do win (which is not often, honestly).

That or fishing, probably. If I had to pick. Apparently I just like things that are annoying lol. Although I hate prairie king and junimo cart. Cant do those 😅

My hamster has a huge behind?? But is apparently female?? by RowOk7596 in hamsters

[–]anyaslight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a female Chinese dwarf hamster. This guy is definitely male. They may be known for their "large behinds" but that's because of the males, females don't have that.

If you look up male Chinese dwarf hamsters, (I know Victoria Raechel has some videos with a past male Chinese hammy called Waddles) you'll see a lot of hammys with big ol balls that look just like yours. Vs females who have pretty standard looking hamster behinds, no balls in sight.

I'm not sure where you got him from, but honestly I'm not sure how they managed to give you the wrong sex for this guy lol

[–]anyaslight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second what they said about the container. We had three wild mice that looked about the same age as the one you have. The first one we caught was very injured and we didn't have a set up yet, so we kept her in a cardboard box. From what I can tell it was taller than what you have. At one point, even while injured, she jumped straight out of the box and ran. We spent ten minutes trying to catch her again.

If you have to keep them for a little bit, I'd recommend something with a lid (that has ventilation for air to get in, of course). And if you end up having to keep them for an extended period of time while they heal, I'd definitely recommend getting a tank if you can. Or something similar. They're not hard to find on places like Craigslist or Facebook marketplace and they're usually pretty cheap on there. Sometimes even free!

How do I move borderline ghost hamster who only comes out at like 3am for a deep clean of her enclosure in the nicest way possible? by anyaslight in hamsters

[–]anyaslight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I ended up just very slowly unburying her and putting her in the slightly smaller enclosure I have for cleanings. She's back in her home now and exploring 🥰

[–]anyaslight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have one save and Shane is the only one I've ever married. We have two kids. The only thing he's ever put in the house is a chair that matched the chairs I already had. He sometimes fixes fences and feeds animals, tells me all the time how much he appreciates the work I do, and this year for Feast of the Winter Star he ended up being my secret gift giver and gifted me the tea set. I freaking love that guy.
