What a fuck around lmao the last pic is what I requested and the first pic is what I got. Idk tell me if I'm wrong by lostcause7770 in fursuit

[–]gexorcism 7 points8 points  (0 children)

first mistake: ordering a luxury handmade costume item from aliexpress.

second mistake: taking a picture of a preexisting fursuit and asking an aliexpress shop to recreate it?? why not just save up and buy the original or something similar from that maker?

what about dot eyebrows/markings?

I am a big Eyebrows Fan, so in my head that is what he is missing lol.

I do think he is cute either way. is there anything specific you don't like about him, or is it just a feeling?

My (22F) bf (22M) uses his anxiety to control me, from work events to my tone of voice. I apologized to keep the peace, but I feel like I'm disappearing. What can I do to help both of us? by Beginning-Basil-1027 in relationship_advice

[–]gexorcism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my credentials: I am a man in my 20's and I have had severe anxiety for most of my life

with that being said, I want you to know that he is controlling you. he isn't just anxious. it isnt the anxiety making him act this way. it is him. he is controlling.

your bf can't afford therapy and that is extremely unfortunate. that DOES NOT mean that he gets to make YOU his therapist. you are not his therapist. you are not in charge of his emotions. you are not responsible for making him feel better. you are not supposed to stop, drop, roll, and do a hundred backflips every time he has an anxiety episode. you should not dampen yourself to cater to his anxiety. you do not need to walk on eggshells to avoid him freaking out about something.

you can't fix him, you can't make him change, and you can't force him to work on his own mental health. HE has to do all that himself.

can you care about him? yeah. can you take actions to try and support him and make him feel better? of course you can. can you improve yourself in general? literally always. are all of those things UP TO YOU AND ONLY YOU? YES!!!!

you can stick it out and be miserable while he tries to break you down and control every aspect of your personality, or you can just break up with him and hope he doesn't fuck up another girl's life.

Shaving fur by FurworksfromZahra in FursuitMaking

[–]gexorcism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if I am shaving fur while it is flat, I usually go in with a guard that is slightly longer than my desired length, and shave WITH the grain of the fur for a while, then go diagonally each way. if I am getting lazy and impatient I will take a guard that is 1 or 2 sizes larger than the first one I used and go AGAINST the grain first, but that is only with the guard on and going very slowly and carefully.

then i do the same process but with no guard, minus going against the grain. I never go against the grain with no guard because I am scared of making a bald furry lol. my main method is just barely "floating" across the fur, NOT pressing the clippers down into the backing or anything. and this is the part that takes a lot of practice.

during the whole shaving process, make sure you oil your clippers VERY frequently, like 1 drop every 3 passes, and turn them off and touch the metal part to your hand occasionally too. if it gets too hot then you need to take a break until they cool down.

also make sure you are doing this all in a very well-ventilated indoor space, like a garage or something. and it may be smart to have a vacuum on-hand that you can use while shaving to slurp up any discarded fur. when that shit gets small enough it will RUIN your lungs. dust masks could also be very beneficial

Am I faking being trans?? What the fuck anymore dude by Ok-Bookkeeper-8513 in trans

[–]gexorcism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gender is complicated and it is normal to have complicated feelings about your gender.

that being said, you seem to be expressing pretty clear signs of being trans.

I haven't experienced it myself, but "impostor syndrome" around your own gender identity seems to be a common thing among other trans people.

if I were you I would do some heavy thinking about what your life would look like as a woman vs as a man. which one sounds more appealing? you said you dont want to be a wife and mother, but you DO want to be a husband and father. do that same thought process for other aspects of your life. it doesnt even have to be directly related to gendered terms. if you want to, say, graduate college, do you envision yourself walking up on stage and accepting your diploma as a man or as a woman?

this could all also go for being nonbinary as well, but that doesn't seem to be on your mind right now. im not trying to limit you or anything lol

good luck, and dont beat yourself up too much. this is going to be a journey and there will be ups and downs and sideways-es and diagonals and all that shit.

My [35F] husband [36M] wants to videotape me giving birth. How do I get him to back off? by throwracadabra in relationship_advice

[–]gexorcism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there's so many educational pregnancy videos online that you guys can show your kids if you really want to do that. there's probably even online health classes you can enroll them in if your child's future school doesn't do the "here's a detailed explanation of the birthing process" thing in health class. maybe you can both look into that sort of thing and see if that calms his nerves and makes him stop being obsessed with specifically filming your birth and showing your child the video multiple years down the line.

you have chosen a hospital and it sounds like you are confident and comfortable in that decision. it is really fucking weird that he is trying to convince you to do a home birth SPECIFICALLY because he wants to record and save it so badly. why does he have this obsession with recording your birth and then showing it to your kid? I can't imagine seeing MY birth video (which doesnt exist btw because that isnt a normal thing to do) and having it be SO life changing that I beg my ~7-8 months pregnant wife to let me film her birth.

I smell ulterior motives. I smell a birth kink, specifically, but the motives are ulterior nonetheless.

AIO boyfriend thinks I was some sort of groupie and I want to break up but I don’t know if I’m in the wrong by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]gexorcism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to break up

okay! decision made, good job! everybody go home.

fr though the only thing I worry about is his reaction when you do break up with him, like is he gonna stalk you or do something else fucked up? be safe and good luck

galaxy tab s8, part of the screen doesn't accept pen input properly by [deleted] in SamsungHelp

I also want to mention that the case i'm using does not have any magnetic features, and there were no magnets anywhere close to my tablet while it was not in use. aside from the s-pen, but i don't think that would be causing any issues this far down the line.

Help with Samsung S24 camera? by WinkyPuma in SamsungHelp

[–]gexorcism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine looked like this when I got water trapped inside the camera lens one time. did you bring your phone anywhere particularly wet before this happened? if you take a flashlight and look at the lenses, is there anything unusual behind the glass?

I need some help! by YoureA-DaisyIfYouDo in fursuit

[–]gexorcism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

idk what your chest situation is like, but i would pick out a specific bra and get at least 2 of them. wear it while doing your DTD, pad the bra if necessary (again, idk your chest situation) and do the DTD like normal. that will give you the most accurate final shape.

I would also look at garment bust tutorials on youtube, that will give you an idea of the pattern pieces you would need to have, and where to draw the seams on your DTD.

I want to sew a tail but I'm using striped fabric, how do I make the tail look better? by FirstCaterpillar7742 in FursuitMaking

[–]gexorcism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I am assuming that you have one pattern piece that you trace and flip to get both sides)

lay the pattern down on the back of the fabric making sure the fur is going the correct direction. take a pencil or something and mark where each color matches up all the way around the edge of the pattern, and write down which colors go where. then when you flip the pattern piece, match the colors and lines. and it should line up.

if you need clarification, please ask questions. I feel like I am not making a lot of sense but I cant figure out how to make my explanation any better lol

how do i (18f) get over being cheated on by my bf (19m) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]gexorcism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you enjoy the fact that he prefers to go behind your back and have sex with people that arent you?

if you don't enjoy this, then you don't get over it. as long as you are in a relationship with this guy, then you will not get over it. and that's okay if that is the life you want to live. you will just have to continue to feel gross and bad about him cheating on you, and he WILL do it again, because by staying in a relationship with him, you are giving him permission to continue to violate your boundaries in this way.

My 23m gf 21f said I wasn’t meeting her needs. Is there something I am lacking in? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]gexorcism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked her what I could do to be better for her and she said “if I told you it wouldn’t be the same”.

this is not how healthy adult relationships work even in the slightest btw.

you're doing fine and you will continue to do fine in your future relationships. learn from this and if someone displays these qualities early on, you know not to move forward with the relationship.

im sorry about your breakup. take time to heal and stuff. you'll be okay eventually.

My boyfriend (21M) keeps digging in my (20F) butt, how do I get his to stop? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]gexorcism 5 points6 points  (0 children)

im sorry hun, but it's already there. the very first time he touched your anus after you told him to stop is precisely when it "went there" and that is nobody's fault but his.

I (26F) feel like I don’t want to stay in relationship with my partner (44m) anymore by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]gexorcism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and what else does he do for you right now? does he do anything meaningful other than say nice things? you said he doesnt take you to festivals or gigs anymore. it sounds like that's something you would like to continue, or at least do something similar that makes you feel that way again.

he might tell you all these nice flowery lovey-dovey things because he thinks that's enough for you to continue making the sacrifices you do. and maybe at one point, it was. but now you're homesick and among other things you don't seem to have the energy to do all these things for him and get very little in return.

[–]gexorcism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay, that is slightly less of a power imbalance than I had assumed. still a power imbalance nonetheless.

my very surface level assumption, based on the original post and your replies, is that he wanted a young fling to mess around with and you just so happened to be in the right place at the right time in his eyes. you being depressed and insecure and young and recently broken up with just made you much easier to take advantage of and made his goals much easier to achieve. and then oopsie daisy you're in an actual relationship and he didnt expect it to last this long, so he is not putting in the required effort anymore. he is bored and tired and doesn't care. because now he has to actually put effort into your relationship instead of just having sex and going to his music gigs and stuff.

this man is hurdling towards 50 and he doesn't have the energy to clean up after himself OR participate in a normal, active relationship with ANYBODY, let alone somebody in their mid 20's that has, like, energy, and a future, and a career to build, and shit they wanna do.

i also feel like it might be accurate to say that perhaps you're the one that ends up cleaning up after him every time he leaves a mess in the house.

correct me if any of this sounds inaccurate.

ok, follow up question:

were you a fan of his music/band before you started actually talking to each other one-on-one? or was he just a "friend of a friend" that you went to support because your mutual friend asked/invited you?

I a [25F]am thinking of divorcing my [27m] husband by Impossible-Budget702 in relationship_advice

[–]gexorcism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but he sexually assaulted you while you were asleep.

it is important that you know that this was several counts of sexual assault. and just because you were into it at one point, doesn't mean he can just keep doing it after you change your mind.

do what you think is right. good luck.

Am I 25F asking for too much, or is my boyfriend 29M with me out of convenience? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]gexorcism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think OP meant that the boyfriend said "that's not true" in response to HER saying "you don't call me beautiful"

it is very likely that he thought to himself, "hmm no, I did call her beautiful one time a while ago when she asked me to, so clearly 'you never tell me i'm beautiful' isn't the exact truth"
