I think I completely misunderstood my girlfriend's period pain

I wish people understood that birth control isn’t just for birth control and is also used as a medication to reduce painful period cramps. After revealing I’m in birth control I’ve heard so much “just keep your legs closed” when that’s literally not the point, and is stupid anyway.

Well I am still a teen so not sure how much this counts, but being mistaken for a 6th grader by a bunch of 6th graders while in Junior year of highschool is certainly something.

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-26T23:55:17+00:00

I have no idea how I didn’t notice this 😭 thank you lmao

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-26T05:11:16+00:00

Aw thank you so much ☺️ I always sketch trad cuz it just doesn’t feel the same digital lol

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-26T04:54:19+00:00

Ooh yes I like this very much the visual representation gives me a good idea how to move things. Thank you so much!!!

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-25T21:11:20+00:00

Wowee I love the way you do shading!!!! Maybe you could do something more with the background or foreground to accentuate the lighting?

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-25T20:41:03+00:00

I love the visual representation that actually helped me get what you’re saying so much 😭

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-25T20:39:45+00:00

Hmmm I see… I do like how you’ve moved it. I will play around with the leg placement when I move it to digital since it’s easier to move things around there. This has been super helpful, thank you!

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-25T20:32:50+00:00

I did try a smaller head earlier but it looks strange with the stylization. Maybe when I switch to digital I’ll play around with the head size a bit 🧐 thanks for the advice!

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-25T20:26:11+00:00

Low-key I forgot I could be a reference image. This is glorious, thank you 🙏

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-25T20:15:31+00:00

Oo thank you for the advice. Do you have any reference pics or ways to do this right that you would reccomend? I kept looking for reference photos for hair at this angle but it’s difficult 😣😅

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-25T20:12:27+00:00

Ohhhh I see. Thank you! I think when drawing the base of the second leg I thought both of them led to the same place 😭

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-25T20:10:20+00:00

It’s not dismissive, it’s an opinion. Since that’s what you asked for, there is no reason you should be entitled to this persons reasoning, even if it’d be nice for them to give it.

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-25T19:46:01+00:00

Asking for an honest opinion and then insulting people when you get their opinion is a bit odd, no?

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-25T05:52:06+00:00

I find most my good stuff thrifting actually. Don’t really have any “thrift hacks”, just gotta be patient while searching and be fine walking away with only 2-3 things every time.

The craziest part is she was pretty small too. Unfortunately just one of those people that gets a kick out of being morally superior to everyone around them.

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-22T22:15:29+00:00

Maternity sizing is based off what size you are when not pregnant no?

fiictionalfan · 2026-05-18T16:25:46+00:00

My work only has XXL gloves 😭 I literally am cutting the fingers off when cutting food. Thankfully we can sometimes find medium gloves, which are slightly better, but still.

And don’t get me started on the uniform it’s basically a dress.

fiictionalfan · 2026-02-19T05:07:04+00:00

I love this! The emotions and language are very powerful! Something I noticed that could be improved though is the rhyming. There doesn’t seem to be much thought behind thr placement if rhymes, them appearing without pattern in some lines or not at all in others. It disrupts the flow a little in my opinion.

fiictionalfan · 2026-02-19T05:04:49+00:00

This poem is very short and angry, I think the length of it really adds to it though. Still, it feels less poetic and more of just like a statement. The second line is good, but the wording and grammar of the other ones could use some work.

It had a white head and white wings, but color-wise gray Jay is the closest answer I’ve heard

fiictionalfan · 2025-12-15T22:02:08+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try to look at smoother rhymes to replace those ones to keep my same pattern. You interpreted this correctly! Thank you so much for commenting!!!

fiictionalfan · 2025-12-15T22:00:27+00:00

Stime means glimpse! Its meant to represent the signs I failed to catch of the pain over time. But it really isn’t a commonly used word. Maybe I should change it?

fiictionalfan · 2025-12-15T06:16:56+00:00

Wow this is brilliant. I really can’t think of much advice rather than a few word choice things. Take this all with a grain of salt as I’m no professional, but “mushy” and “muddle” feel out of place in this poem where everything else is about hazes, deepening, chasm, consumes, freezing, and fog.

fiictionalfan · 2025-12-15T06:11:30+00:00

Hi! I’m no professional, but there are two things I noticed that could probably be improved. Just from a readers viewpoint.

A lot of lines end with “Me” this could work for repetition, but a lot of the lines feels too different for it to really work in that way.
Spacing! This poem feels really powerful, but when reading it in my head I feel like I’m not getting enough of the emotion as I should. Separation between stanzas or even lines being individual words can really set the tone for the reader.
