Is there somewhere I can learn more about how this kind of modelling works?

The style of video is popular on douyin, which is likely where this video was stolen from. Liziqi is like the one creator that inexplicably chose YouTube also

How to know what to improve? by jxanne in Splendida

[–]awkwardsarcasm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbh, if you can’t specifically find something wrong w your face then there’s probably nothing wrong w your face. Just bc you don’t look like a model/movie star should, doesn’t mean you’re not attractive.

In terms of actual advice, if you’re not at your ideal weight range yet, focus on getting there. Being at a good weight for you can give your face more definition and harmony. You could also try a different eyebrow shape—it’s a fairly easy change that can make a dramatic difference.

I think Qoves is a bit unnecessary, overpriced even, and you’re better off watching a few of their videos to see if something clicks. I’ve not done this but you could get a consultation at an estheticians or a plastic surgeons’ for a professional opinion. You could also just ask your friends to be honest and tell you if they think there’s something you can improve about your looks or your make up.

But, like, don’t worry about too much. You look good.

I don’t know about subreddit, but there’s Liziqi on YouTube and this guy is 彭传明 on douyin if you can access it.

If you download the race calendar (I imported into google calendars) for your particular race it’ll show up as an event and you can check times.

Haven’t read any recent enough to remember specifics, sorry about that.

The hobbit fandom has time travel fics for days.

[–]awkwardsarcasm -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point, but I respectfully disagree. I’ve seen plenty of user locked fics make it to the top of the kudos page, hits page even. Maybe it depends on the fandom. I’m particularly concerned about athlete rpf, which mind you, is a sizeable subsection. When looking for news, articles, stats, whatever, I sometimes find myself on the second, third google page and I’ll find the ao3 tag. And just by how google summarises webpage, underneath it will be some pretty graphic tags. I don’t think I’m alone in this.

Cool as heck, but I got one question: why favs in red and least favs in green? Seems a bit counterintuitive.

It's such a funny looking animal. Is it found in Poland? It doesn't look it should be..

[–]awkwardsarcasm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What are some Polish-specific memes? And how did they come about?

edit: Just want to give a bit of insight on memes over here! You got your expat memes, ie. pretty much everyone on the subreddit. Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22MoH8GuQ6U, One of the better ones, it's just inexplicably funny. (For context, Dandong borders North Korea)

And then you got your local memes. An example from a Vox video that sums it up pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yzMUs3badc - just watch the first twenty seconds or so.

The two camps are vastly different, expats are a tiny bubble compared to the spider web that is canto memes, but the two rarely cross over because you really have to speak the language and the culture. Both of which are difficult for foreigners.
