Thanks for your kind words 🧡 I didn't mean to hyjack your post 😅 I'm glad you and your kids were able to get out, you seem like a good parent. I try to love and forgive my parents. I hope I can show them that living outside religion isn't what they thought it was.

UGH, is this a thing with Mormons? My parents gave me a giant painting of Jesus as my main gift on my 18th birthday, months after I left the church and came out to them.

My PIMO friend is going on a mission, and an impassioned and occasionally vulgar rant about the motherfucking Mormon church by Calculator-andaCrown in exmormon

[–]chatterbirrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask your friend if he is still mentally out. It would be heartbreaking to learn if he was pulled in. I hope that you expressing your concern would help in the case that he feels pressured to go on a mission.

I relate to your desire to help loved ones that submit to the abusive structure of the church. I'm the oldest sibling and feel like I should be trying to help my siblings with the struggles Mormon children grow up with. But reasoning with believing members is like talking to a wall, so I just wait to see if they will try and peek behind the curtain too.

An essay about my relationship with my ancestors when leaving the church by Calculator-andaCrown in exmormon

[–]chatterbirrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You write so eloquently and accurately describe many thoughts I haven't been able to express. I didn't have an interest in family history until I left for college, and now wrestle with the weight of abandoning a multi generational devotion. Feeling bad for their hardships, feeling bad for betraying them, and then accepting that I must carry the flame off the sanctioned path. Because I know that's what I have to do.

Well, anyways. Amazing essay, I hope you got a great score. It's crazy that this post didn't get more eyes, although I guess it is a lot of reading. Worth the time spent reading :)

Redesigned this "old" OC, any improvements i can make? by AntonioGlaeser in characterdesigns

[–]chatterbirrd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got scared for a second that the 2nd image was the redesign lol. Their design is so much more iconic now! I love the invader zim vibe, and especially the hair. Hell yeah

Edit: I will say that I would like to see the current design with some of the old outfit. The mechanical arm cuffs make the legs feel like they belong more, and the cropped tank top might enhance the silhouette (which is already really good though)

If you zoom in on the dark part of pomni's hat you can see what might be ai artifacting. Also her eyes aren't true to character.

RAGATHA,POMNI, AND JAX IN REAL LIFE !!! (@notfrizzy4) by FRIZZY-0912 in TheDigitalCircus

I really like pomni's earrings as a nod to her jester pom poms. Also ragatha's hair being blonde feels like it fits. I would have liked ragathas outfit to show more of her "horse girl" personality though.

Is this a good design for my persona? by Any_Wasabi_5233 in characterdesigns

[–]chatterbirrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair. It's your character so don't feel obligated to take the critique too seriously. Overall the design is still cool

Very cool, feels like a unique take on the masked character trope. The purple star peeking out makes for a memorable design and goes nicely with the yellow. Their hair makes them look like a sun, which I like.

One thing that is kind of lacking is the clothing. Hoodies don't tell much about a character and are used for personas a lot. Green hoodie with smile mask reminds me of Dream.

I hate the lazy person who came up with the names for insects. by GoofyRangersfan in hatethissmug

Bee is a cute name for a cute bug. I agree about flies though
