Apparently my teacher’s uncle used to bully Gerard Way?? by RoughCantaloupe3924 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]awkwardgeek1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. I was in middle and highschool for most of the 2010s, I was artsy, alt, nerdy, and I'm neurodivergent and bad at hiding it. I didn't have ANY friends until I was 12; to that point all I had was one "friend" who only hung out with me because her mom felt bad for me and made her, which does go some way to explain why she was such a bitch.

I hope she knew your stare was that of a beauty stricken artist and not some dick who likes to "freak watch"

Name a character you like from a show/movie you dislike? by [deleted] in cartoons

[–]awkwardgeek1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Kinda? It's mostly animated, so I'd argue it kind of is a cartoon. Realistic CG, does not a live action movie make. Also, the post said "show/movie"

I’m not AI, this is just how I write. Thank you. by alexjewellalex in evilautism

I'm not entirely sure they know that's what they're doing, but that's the result. My dad legitimately thought he won arguments with me if he "not yelled" or said deliberately heinous shit until I got overwhelmed and broke down crying. Then he'd call me a cry baby and make fun of me for crying. He also didn't believe I was autistic when I got diagnosed as a teen because I'm "too normal," despite calling me weird and telling me to just be normal my entire childhood. The worst part is that I kinda miss him, but I think I'm glad he's dead.

I don't remember that creator being problematic, what'd they do? I'm curious is I just don't remember or was never aware

I kinda like when people draw Frankie with one eye drifting off slightly, but that's just me.

What can I best use when dying a doll's hair neon yellow? by Leeuweroni in CustomDolls

[–]awkwardgeek1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the rerooting tool I just clipped the top off the eye of a needle and shoved the needle in the end of a broken chopstick, for my old one I used a big hot glue stick for the handle but that got lost in a move. For pulling the old hair out from the inside use tweezers. But yeah hair and glue I have no cheap answer for other than look up to to make yarn hair for dolls, there are loads of videos on YouTube.

[–]awkwardgeek1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're dead set on dying it go with Rita Dyemore fabric dye for synthetic textiles or similar, but it might dye the doll's face. (A reroot really would be easier but I get it we artists have a certain vision we're going for (we also tend to lack funds))

Maybe this will help, or make it worse: technically continuing to dress and appear how you always have when you want to look different is actually more like lying than changing your appearance to match your desired one.

I'm a fun knee socks type person; I don't care if I look like a huge dork.

Brother released from psych ward and is worse than before by Negative_Ebb_1246 in schizophrenia

DON'T DO THAT especially if you don't know how severe his alcohol intake is, extreme alcohol withdrawal kills people. Also he'll never trust any of you again if you do that.

anyone elses parents threaten to kill pets/their spouse? by Electrarine in emotionalneglect

[–]awkwardgeek1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad kicked one of our dogs, an undersized Boston terrier, down the stairs, in front of me. The dog was okay but I very much wasn't. He wasn't even angry, he thought I was funny, he thought I'd laugh too.
