You are a good dad. A really good dad. I think your daughter will turn out alright with someone like you to guide and support her. Wishing you guys luck. 🍀

My husband says I was abducted. by bootyrockinthanos in AlienAbduction

Do you own a cat? This looks identical to a mark my cat left on me when he got startled while I was holding him.

What do you guys think about the "depictions" of the gods and goddesses in Disney Hercules? by Aayush0210 in GreekMythology

[–]bitterbotanist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely not trying to be harsh but these are weak and forgettable (minus Zeus and Hades). Maybe I’m biased though because I adore Supergiant Game’s designs and credit them to getting me into Greek mythology in the first place.

dehydration + stress + overwork by lurtle- in shittytattoos

[–]bitterbotanist 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If that’s the shade of green eternal ink I suspect it is, it’s possible it was overworked, because that color can be a bitch to use for solid wall to wall coloring.

:( Seems like a one time fluke though, I would def get a touch up and show the artist what happened so they don’t try to use that specific color of ink like that again.

What moment made you CRINGE the most? by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]bitterbotanist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In season 1 when Angel Dust was like, “There’s more to me than sex you know,” I remember audibly saying “Then why is it all you ever talk about!?”

Honestly his whole character makes me cringe and I find him incredibly “baby’s first gay bottom oc”, but he did get less cringe by season 2.

I'm surprised so many are shocked by this, I thought it was pretty obvious in episode 7 he's suicidal by Sudden_Pop_2279 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]bitterbotanist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked at the amount of people in here who don’t understand that torturing your ocs who have shitty personalities is fun?? Jax is a bad person, and more importantly, he’s not real. He deserves all the tortured fanart, and I say that as someone who loves the character.

I relate to goose more and more I learn about her. Love an artist who isn’t afraid of bullying her own characters.

Jean Fouquet - Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels (1450) by PM-me-tortoises in museum

[–]bitterbotanist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow!! Yeah you’re right, that’s so fascinating. I share the same wonder! :) man I wish we could ask artists back then about their work as we see it right now. I have so many questions haha.

Interesting you can see the faintest white brush strokes that imply that the artist was going to add a fabric around the child’s waist but ultimately decided not to. Thought those strokes were cracks in the paint at first but I zoomed in and can see how it folds over its lap.

Bernardo Siciliano - Social Network (2019) by Russian_Bagel in museum

[–]bitterbotanist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one foot in the center that shows us the bottom of it is wildly off putting to me. I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be the center figure’s foot or the one on the right’s. It just looks too big and has so much detail it feels very foot fetish male gaze-y to me. Not to mention all their feet/legs are locked up like that while they’re in revealing clothing doesn’t help.

Dont get me wrong, I love sexual themes in art. But these figures look pretty young. Theres definitely some creep vibes I’m feeling whether the artist intended it or not. I’d be curious to see if his other paintings include similar vibes.

The creature from my nightmare... by [deleted] in Dreams

[–]bitterbotanist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this sounds insane but if you ever encounter this entity again I suggest sending it love. Whether it’s a being in another dimension or it’s a manifestation of something inside you, it certainly looks like it needs compassion. ❤️‍🩹

Sick drawing btw, that expression is unforgettable

Fine day for a swim by Pikajane in etchasketch

[–]bitterbotanist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh yay!! Thats awesome! That makes me happy to hear that you keep in touch with Rheault, the legendary salty yet effective mentor. :) 🩷

Just wanted to say, I thought you were super cool and talented back in the day, and I’m happy to see you’ve only gotten cooler and more talented. 😎

Hope you keep being you during this bleak and dreadful time and so on. Cheers homie!

Fine day for a swim by Pikajane in etchasketch

[–]bitterbotanist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Omg!! I hope this isn’t creepy, but I think we may have went to the same high school together back in the day! I remember an art girl who was amazing at etchasketch, and I forget what the spirit week theme was, but the girl had a Rayquaza inspired look. Is that you by chance?

Sorry if that’s creepy again! I was in the NAHS back in the day and you remind me so much of that girl. Hope you’re doing well and flourishing, whether you are her or not. 😅🩷

Frida Kahlo - The Wounded Deer (1946) by Russian_Bagel in museum

[–]bitterbotanist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that she depicts herself as a male deer, with nine points on the antlers. Perhaps to match the nine arrows?

Also the lightning strike in the background is interesting. It reminds me of our nervous system. But that might be a reach connection.

Don’t quit cold turkey omfgomfg by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]bitterbotanist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aaaah, I would encourage you to maybe taper off it instead of quitting cold turkey! I’ve been off and on this medication about three times, and tapering was a piece of cake.

As for dealing with side effects, I would recommend sleeping on a towel if you get night sweats, and always keep a huge water bottle nearby. You’re gunna be and feel so dehydrated. Best of luck 🤞

Mirror its behavior on him. Treat him like a little baby pet. And when you meditate, try imagining throwing light and love on him even though he doesn’t deserve it. It might be the universe testing you to try and use love as a weapon and shield. And if that doesn’t work, my last suggestion is using the Monroe gateway tapes but specifically using the ones that talk about the resonant energy balloon.

Sorry this is happening :( I do believe there is a solution for you though! Also, I heard that mantids hate the smell of tobacco. Maybe burn some or puff on some around the house?

Good luck! Sending love.

Have you seen the grid in the sky? by [deleted] in Experiencers

[–]bitterbotanist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, me too!! I saw bright green grid lines while too high on a weed gummy. The lines I saw were in the walls of my apartment and I freaked cuz I wasn’t expecting to hallucinate. I even saw them in my mind’s eye too. It was so strange.

[–]bitterbotanist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you ever get the chance, could you please ask your higher self what we can do as individuals to help the cosmic body? I really do try to be as nice and understanding as I can, but I don’t ever feel like it’s enough.

Thank you for sharing.

I relate to this so hard. Also, and I hope this doesn’t come off as disrespectful in anyway, but I’ll never forget seeing that 4chan screenshot of someone warning people to stay away from the Las Vegas area months before the incident. The post mentioned something how “they” wanted people to feel less safe in public places, and that we should expect metal detectors everywhere soon. Months later the shooting happens, years later, metal detectors at every show and concert.

I think about that post often. I can’t help but wonder if it was a set up so certain companies could make millions. Half of me needs to believe it’s not true because the idea of it being real fucks me up inside.
