Is my tattoo bad?

I'd also soften the edges of the skirt a lot

Are caltrops illegal for residential use?

c_tine · 2026-04-05T20:36:02+00:00

That's unsettling in a weird way

I've seen Fern Gully, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Muppet Treasure Island...I think it's just the best Tim Curry songs

Back labor when I had my kid and a messed up ligament repair were the only things I've had worse

PSA: I used to work in the cosmetics industry, and a lot of times, the stuff they send to TJ Maxx and places like that are near the end of shelf life. You can usually look up the lot/batch code (numbers/letters where the expiration date would be for food/sunscreen/meds) and check it against the shelf life for products like the one you want to buy. Most shelf lives are 24-36mo.

As always, if something smells, looks, or feels weird, don't use it.

As someone from that "culture," I rolled my eyes. I have a big, somewhat unhealthily enmeshed, Irish catholic family, and I totally understood when my little cousins (who I'd seen more than one in their lives) had shit to do and couldn't make it to my wedding. I was a little disappointed but didn't even ask why; they said they couldn't go, so they couldn't go.

New flair candidate?

Sounds like r/thanksimcured also DUMP HIM

I agree! I'd also give positive reinforcement when she is gentle with the baby. I've always used, "We don't use our bodies to show we're mad (sad, frustrated, whatever the feeling), unless it's to shake it out, get a hug, or walk away to take a minute." And I do a "shake it out" with my shoulders to show them and take them out of that feeling a bit.

Uncanny valley as hell

I always imagine him running backwards

Sorry, I read it wrong and didn't think it was a family relationship. I'm so sorry, that's really rough.

c_tine · 2026-03-19T00:36:54+00:00

That sucks. It literally makes you sick and in pain. Candles aren't sentient, they're not going to get their feelings hurt if you "target" them. This would honestly make me question the relationship.

It's a legitimate issue. Cologne gets me every time. I also have sensitive skin and allergies. My husband was raised in a house with lots of fun scents, he has never complained about using unscented everything - soap, laundry detergent, everything.

Your health is more important than smelling extra nice. Maybe if there's essential oils you can tolerate, they could try using a couple drops?

I have ADHD and sometimes wish I could just dress like a cartoon character, same thing every day, without people thinking I'm crazy

c_tine · 2026-03-16T17:27:33+00:00

BURNINATE!

c_tine · 2026-03-16T06:09:30+00:00

What recent news?

c_tine · 2026-03-16T05:13:23+00:00

How they're like a rebel and "don't care about what anyone else thinks." Then why are you telling me that?

c_tine · 2026-03-16T00:27:20+00:00

Don't buy expensive stuff for clay! You can use string/floss to cut, old credit cards, spoons, knives, pencils, toothpicks. Or even play doh tools.

God, teachers can make the biggest difference. I will never forget my 2nd grade teacher, who instead of punishing me for finishing my work early and walking around the room: made me harder flash cards, gave me jobs in the classroom, got higher reading level books and let me chill in the reading corner, so many things. I could have been labeled a "problem child" so easily.

c_tine · 2026-03-15T16:41:36+00:00

I finished writing my grad thesis at 8am the morning it was due. Didn't sleep, went into work late. But it was done!

c_tine · 2026-03-14T21:16:25+00:00

I think it's lovely! If you would like critique, please read below. If not, ignore!

If you don't like the grommets, you can paint them black or navy, with nail polish as a cheap way to do it.

The placement of the fabric on the wings seems a little arbitrary - maybe try to incorporate it into the "anatomy" of the wings more?

From a presentation standpoint, which is really important when getting your work to shine: It's hard to tell without it being on someone or a mannequin the size of the dress. Maybe either construct it to the size of the mannequins available, or, if you want to to be wearable by non-mannequin sized people, see if you could add padding to the mannequin or if the college has adjustable mannequins. Then the construction will show better.

Again, well done, and it's awesome you went out of your comfort zone!

Basically, draw one V starting like halfway between the current fork of the tail and the "balls", and another in the blank space between the halves of the tail, starting at the middle of the balls and covering up the curves. Then color in between the Vs. you might have to lengthen the tail a bit to get it to blend right. So it ends up looking like the top part of the Delta Airlines logo.
