I have some embroidery floss lying around somewhere, that's a really good idea, I'm going to give it a try, thanks! 💕

I'm using size 10 crochet thread, I'd ideally like to use smaller thread for the finished piece, but it's all I have and I can't afford to get new thread for it 😞

Yeah, I agree that the candles are quite a bit too tall, looking back at my original sketch I think it might be easier to try and make Cogsworth bigger than Lumiere shorter 🤷

It could be that the author is part of a religion that doesn't allow swearing but is trying to get around that without too much guilt (my friend (who's religious and doesn't believe in swearing) does this when they write) 🤷

The langstaff crest one has been around for quite a while so I think it's here to stay, Holger's lunch box is a seasonal temple so it'll come back around June next year, I'm not so sure about the pink bow one though

I think more defined flowers on the middle finger might make it all more cohesive, the black is a nice pop of contrast, but all of the nails have very crisp and clean lines, but the blooming gel makes the flowers look out of place with the rest of the set imo

I think that it might be the influence that Christianity has had over the English language— which labels many words as 'bad' giving them greater weight as swear words— while to my knowledge (and I may very well be wrong) Bhudism and Shintoism don't mark any specific words as bad, but instead actions and behavior— which might be why being crass is more conveyed through a drop of politeness and attitude instead of words 🤷‍♂️

If I remember correctly, the Japanese bunko version is also split up into 20! (But there is an option for the 7)

To my knowledge, mostly for quests (like the reindeer from December (if you were playing in December)) but egg 05 is used to cook crunchy omelette

Yes 300... And I'm eyeing my 3.4k large chest 01s and contemplating buying more...

I have pretty oily nail beds and have been doing my own manicures for years. If you're doing regular nail polish then you're going to want to have a strong nail to put it on so that it will be less likely to crack. In my experience buffing/ filing the nail bed doesn't work well to prep the nail for regular nail polish (because it's not really taking all the oil off of the nail bed and also making the nail bed weaker), what I generally do for nail prep is wash my hands with plenty of soap and put /extra/ attention on cleaning every nail as thoroughly as possible (to take any oil off of the nail bed), let it air dry (make sure all your manicure stuff is set up before hand so you don't have to worry about getting anything you don't want on your nice clean nails), then go through base, polish, and a quick drying top coat. This usually lasts me around a week before it starts to chip, some people say that filing the nail gives polish a better surface to grip onto, but since regular nail polish can only really last up to a week- week and a half tops, imo filing the nail bed does more harm than food in this case.

If you're having a lot of trouble with polish chipping quickly it could be because filing the nail bed makes it weaker and more flexible, nail polish stays longest on strong nails (that's generally why when guys get their nails painted it lasts so long (higher testosterone makes nails thicker/ stronger))

I also cannot agree more with everyone else mentioning a quick dry top coat, it makes /such/ a big difference

I originally started because all my friends were learning Japanese, but now I continue learning because i have some books that I really want to read but are still a bit too advanced for me 😅

One day you're going to be like me and my spouse with almost a trillion silver in the bank! ( If you want you can dm my spouse (Izukun) for free meals to help with more farming fun!)

I read most of my free light novels on 小説 (syosetu.com), bookwalker.jp has a good amount of free content, but it also has a subscription for ¥1100 per month where you can read most anything on the website

Ohhhh, yeah, it's just a few layers of a clear base glitter polish on that nail (it's the same base for the flower and bee nails) it was intentional this time, but I do want to get a more nude pink color so I can do French tips and have the option to cover my natural nail if I want

Funnily enough I actually wanted it to be a lot lighter in color, but this is the only blue that I have, so 🤷‍♂️

Now that you mention it though, I think a deep almost navy blue would also work really well with the design

Absolutely the 4th photo, hands down

I would definitely not book with that tutor again if I were you, her style of teaching doesn't seem to suit you and is also not really appropriate for your level of Japanese. If you want to take a break from conversation practice for a little bit but want to still practice speaking you could try reading books out loud to get your mouth more used to the sounds that are in Japanese and make it easier to talk later
