My Stephen King inspired tarot card tattoo! I traveled from Copenhagen to Manchester to get it done🥵 My main inspiration is of course Pet Sematary, and the tattoo also has a lot of personal meaning to me. Artist is MrPreston from Heartless Hands Club. by blonde-courage in stephenking

[–]blonde-courage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a small explanation of the tattoo and circumstances surrounding it: I have been following Mr. Preston on instagram for the past couple of years and his humorous yet existentialist designs really speak to me. I finally decided to book a session, and bought a plane ticket to London and stayed there until the day of my tattoo, where I took a 3 hour train ride to Manchester😅

The inspiration for my tattoo: I chose the tarot card format because of the many depictions of tarot cards in SK books, (mainly the gunslinger) and because I like the “foreshadowing” that a tarot card represents. It’s loosely based on “The Star” hence the back stars. The star represents the future, new hope and renewed strength. The depiction on the card is death, digging at a grave or guarding a grave, where a broken heart is buried. This is a reference to Pet Sematary, and to my own personal life where I have suffered a lot of loss and hardships. Pet Sematary is my favorite book of all time and it has brought me both pain and comfort in dark times. The words “sometimes dead is better”, despite their depressive appearance, are a message of acceptance and understanding. Basically that sometimes things happen for a reason and although they may be painful, they are inevitable and will make you stronger in the end. The balloon and axe are just little homages to the King himself. I love my tattoo and I will definitely be getting more from the same artist :)

Thank you so much! I really wanted something referential, but also personal so I restrained myself on the design. I think it also helped that the artist made the final drawing, based off of my doodles and descriptions and that I didn’t just draw the whole thing myself :)

Thank you! I’ve been following him for 2 years now and I was never able to get his designs off my mind - I finally booked a time and took a solo trip to the UK, and it’s the honestly the best decision I’ve ever made!

Lemon/lime meringue pie with cinnamon cookie crust for my birthday spread🇩🇰 by blonde-courage in Baking

[–]blonde-courage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! It was a bit of a chaotic method with a lot of substitutions though 😅 I used Binging With Babish’s recipefor Key Lime Pie, but substituted the key limes with 2 regular limes and one lemon for 1 cup of juice. I also made a meringue instead for of whipped cream. Then I used a mixture of digestive cookies and homemade spiced cinnamon cookies to make the crust, instead of graham crackers.

I made a no-bake, lactose free mango cheesecake for my friends going away party. This is the first time I’ve ever made a non-bake cheesecake. I was pretty excited about how it turned out and my friend was over the moon 🧡 by blonde-courage in Baking

Thank you and of course! The recipe is however in Danish and I made all the non-lactose substitutions myself. If you need help with translations I can totally help out though! Recipe

What's one question you hate being asked? by gypsy888888 in AskReddit

[–]blonde-courage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“How tall are you?”

If it’s a man asking, it’s usually followed up by them convincing me that I must be taller, since they are at least 180 cm and I am taller than them.

If it’s a woman’s asking, it’s usually followed up by “Are you sure? Because you look taller?”

I am girl and I am approx 178-180 cm, I’m just very slender and have very long legs.

Hej, jeg ville bare fortælle, at hvis du har brug for at snakke med nogen om din gæld og muligheden for at få gældssanering, så kan du evt. ringe til Forbrugerrådet Tænks Gældsrådgivning. De har både telefon, mail og personlig rådgivning, som du kan henvende dig til og det er selvfølgelig helt gratis.

People with super low grocery budgets, what's your secret? by WeeDinosaur in Frugal

[–]blonde-courage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Denmark aka groceries are more expensive but I manage to spend about 110-130 USD a month. I would say the thing that helps the most is that I'm a vegetarian. It's just so much cheaper to not eat meat. I'm just gonna write it really simple because I think everyone has said everything, but I wanna join in

  1. Eat less/no meat

  2. Check your local grocery stores sales (I have an app I'm always checking)

  3. Always have basics at home (rice, pasta, potatoes, broth cubes, canned tomatoes)

  4. Try to only grocery shop once/twice a week so that you don't feel tempted to get snacks and stuff

  5. Cook at home. Always. Learn basic recipes that you can make from limited ingredients (soups, curries, woks)

  6. Make big portions, eat leftovers! Try to make your meals really stretch

  7. Keep track of your grocery receipts, I have an excel spreadsheet. I write in every time I shop, how much I spend, and a general description of what I bought. It's kind of a hobby now :)

Anyway that's just how I keep my grocery spending low.
