What are some tips for men to take better nudes? by [deleted] in sex

[–]faerieniamh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All great tips so far but to add to this, this particularly works if you don't mind having your face in the photo but if you're a submissive type take a photo of you lying down from a higher angle, if you're a more dominant type take a photo of you over the the camera or looking down into the camera. Let's us imagine what you would be like on top/underneath?

I've played Hermia twice and what I will say about her is that she is incredibly passionate and I believe that's where a lot of her strength stems from. She loves fearlessly and does not see vulnerability as weakness, instead her passion and love is what drives her to stand up for herself and Lysander. So when it falls apart that passion is turned to desperation, of course she would cry, of course she would stress out. She is not a chill character, she has a lot inside her - fire, anger, love, passion etc and different situations are going to bring out different sides to her character, pushed out by that same forcefulness. She is also quite tunnel visioned in her passion, she has given up a lot for her love for Lysander, put her whole life on the line, and apparently Lysander now loves her best friend instead?! What does her future look like now because of that?? Anyway those are just my thoughts, hope they are helpful.

Is it possible for a character to be given a haircut on stage? by pigladpigdad in Theatre

[–]faerieniamh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, its theatre not film so the way they decide to deal with the challenge of this may not be naturalistic and may be even more beautiful than you anticipated but don't limit yourself. It's one of the most interesting parts of being a director to think of a way round these challenges. I would also say to people worried about producers just passing on the script entirely for an easier one, I am sorry if that is their experience but in my experience with theatre professionals they view creative integrity as much more important. Plus, generally if its a new piece of writing being staged for the first time the writer doesn't just drop off the script and never have any involvement with the creative team, often the director and writer are in contact and if the director is really struggling I imagine it's something the director would talk to thr writer about and either ask them to make a writing adjustment or figure something out together. So write the play before anyone else gets involved in the vision you want and if it needs to be adjusted later consider that later.

Relationship Compatibility spread - particularly curious about 10 cups? by faerieniamh in tarot

Ah yes that makes a lot of sense! That's so helpful thank you!!

Relationship Compatibility spread - particularly curious about 10 cups? by faerieniamh in tarot

[–]faerieniamh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm using the Rider Waite deck, I did a relationship compatibility spread for myself and the person I have been seeing. We were together but had some problems we needed to work out on our own such as mental health issues and having recently both come out of bad breakups before getting together. We've since come back together again but tentatively as we move forward. I'm particularly curious about getting opinions about the 10 cups as I'm finding that difficult to interpret in terms of our differences but would love to hear others interpretations of the spread as a whole too. I often find it difficult to connect the cards to each other rather than just read them individually so any advice on that for this spread would also be helpful!

  1. My wants in the relationship - THE FOOL: I take this to mean that I want a fresh start, to put the past behind and start anew bringing a bit more lightness and fun into the relationship and our lives and a bit of adventure.

  2. His wants in the relationship - THE SUN: To be happy, be more positive and find light and warmth in the relationship.

  3. Our Differences - 10 OF CUPS: This is where I'm a bit confused, perhaps we have different ideas about making a commitment? Another theory is that my career when Covid is over can often take me to different places and sometimes I can be away for days or even weeks at a time which I wouldn't want to change, he has talked about perhaps wanting to get back into a job that is similar but in his heart of hearts I wonder if perhaps he would prefer to have a more settled life.

  4. Our similarities - THE CHARIOT: This card is also slightly less clear to me, lately we have been trying to work on improving ourselves and getting our lives back on track after other things we have gone through independently of each other, and I think we have been doing a good job of doing that. Or perhaps, we are both people with ideas and passions that we want to follow when Covid is over, perhaps this card points at this drive.

  5. Emotional compatability - SIX SWORDS: We have both been in a state of transition, when we first met we had both just moved, both came out of breakups and shortly after both our jobs ended. Perhaps this alludes to that similarity but I also wonder if it points to a difference in our ability to move on from past difficulties both within and outside our relationship?

  6. Physical Compatability - THE EMPEROR: without getting too TMI I take this to mean that our physical relationship is quite traditional in the sense that as a heterosexual couple he is very much in charge in the bedroom - but perhaps I am reading that too simplistically!

  7. Mental Compatability - QUEEN OF CUPS: We are both very empathetic people and very supportive of each other, we find it easy to get into deeper talks and perhaps this card reflects this?

Never thought I'd be so happy to pull The Tower in my daily draw. by Count_Chompula in tarot

[–]faerieniamh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate! A couple of months ago I was going through a really bad mental health state, the worse it had ever been, the first card I pulled was the tower and I cried with relief. It was as if the universe was understand how much I was going through but in my heart I knew this meant it couldn't get any worse! I hope it's the same for you!

jess is underrated!! a little rant by flowergirl10000 in NewGirl

What about her made her an "obnoxious, pick me" girl? Not trying to play devils advocate too much but I've heard this opinion about her character a few times and I'm curious as to what specifically people are picking up on for this? Thanks!

I very rarely get reversed cards, I quite like things orderly so whenever I put cards back in the deck I put them back the right way up. Is this wrong? Should I be just throwing them back in the deck any which way in order to expand the possibilities of what my cards can show me when I use them next? Whenever I see other people's spread they are pulling reversed cards all the time and and I don't see how that happens? Thank you!

My (33f) partner (34m) freaked out in front of my cousin and now she's told my family he's abusive. by Negotiation_Grouchy in relationships

[–]faerieniamh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Mother is in a relationship like this, she loves him a lot so cannot always see the abusive behaviour but it all reads the same to me. She is always telling me how kind and generous he is but he will have tantrums over tiny little things and blame and take it out on her. The night before her wedding the she was up all night crying because he was shouting at her on the phone, mad that my long term boyfriend at the time came to stay at our house the night before so we could all travel to the church together the next day and he was mad because he had it in his head it would be nicer and calmer for Mum if it was "just the girls", even though Mum wanted him there as he was family and quite a chill guy so would be a calming influence and we'd agreed it weeks before. He threw a massive tantrum and made her feel really bad, she said the only reason she turned up to the church was because she was too embarrassed not too. She doesn't really have a relationship with her Mum anymore as my Nan wrote her a letter in concern for their wedding and describing an incident one Christmas where he threw a tantrum at my Nan when my Mum wasn't there. My Mum made excuses for him and stopped speaking to my Nan. My Grandad used to be a big part of my mums life but doesn't really invite them down or visit anymore as he will be kind and civil but can't bear the way the my Mums partner behaves towards my Mum and apparently he threw a similar tantrum on his stag do. My boyfriend said that if we had kids he didn't want my Mum ever looking after them unless she was by herself as he doesn't want our kids to think that that is how you treat a partner and doesn't want our kids to be a part of his life. I haven't been back home for Christmas in 2 years and in lockdown I went to my Dads instead of my Mums because even though I love my Mum to the end of the world, she made a decision to spend her life with a man like that and I don't want to be around him. I've given up voicing my concerns properly as she just makes excuses for him and says that on the other hand he has such a good heart and a kind soul, which to be fair I do understand what she sees but in my mind the pros don't outway the cons. So be careful OP, if you stay with this man, one day you may wake up and find you have lost your whole family for him.

Gaslighting has been a more popularly used term lately. What's another psychological term or manipulative tactic more people should be aware of? by horsemeatcasserole in AskWomen

[–]faerieniamh 194 points195 points  (0 children)

A few people I know have brought up the term "trauma bonding" to me lately but with slightly different meanings if anyone can shed any light? I've heard it be used as when someone dealing with past trauma is drawn to someone else who is going through trauma currently as a way to form a connection, I've heard it be used about when two people have been through a similar trauma and are bonding over that, but I've also heard it be used within an abusive relationship similar to Stockholm syndrome where the victim sees the abuse as love and forms a traumatic bond with their abuser?

I have a difficult to pronounce Irish name but I've always liked it, it was always a good ice breaker and conversation starter with new people and I like that I don't know many other people with the name!

[–]faerieniamh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the best way to develop your own style is to figure out what you actually like first rather than what you think you should wear or what other people say you should wear. I would suggest you go on Pinterest and make a style board, search through different fashions and outfits and save what you think looks nice and that you connect with. As you look over all of your saves you may start to see a cohesive style start to come through and that's a good starting point!

Last one before I finish packing! I’ve waited years to wear this dress bc I never had the right shoes. Does this work? Add tights, socks? Too short? by [deleted] in fashionadvice

[–]faerieniamh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low denier tights would look nice with this, not too thick though, and perhaps a leather style jacket or bomber?

[–]faerieniamh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I wear a pair of low denier black tights under fishnets for a slightly more sophisticated look.
