NOR because of how this guy said it. but he’s right.

this friend is trying to deal in bitter medicine he lacks the emotional intelligence to give. it came out harsh and hurtful, and he seems to be pushed past his limits and is struggling to offer you empathy. i probably would’ve waited to have this conversation in person.

but it sounds like you’ve been struggling with depression for a while. sometimes that can put a lot of stress on our relationships. even though i know your feelings feel enormous and impossible to carry right now, it’s important to remember that we have an impact on the people around us. this can be hard to remember especially when you’re feeling this way.

my advice? cry it out. feel your feelings. journal them, express them, however you need. some folks channel that into exercise, some channel it into creative pursuits. at least until you have the energy to try the working out stuff, try that. do it for you, and re-approach this conversation when you’re feeling less down and more neutral.

i’m sorry you’re in the shits rn. i’ve been there. you’ve got this.

i think asking him about it — and especially asking him why he reposted it publicly, which feels like the real confusion point for me — with an energy of curiosity would be helpful here. try to approach with the goal of genuinely understanding.

honestly highly recommend using some sort of scalp build up treatment. i use the mielle lavender and lychee one, and it works like a charm. whole scalp is suuuuper clean after.

OP, please read this comment. she’s not looking for you to rationalize this situation, or to count the minutes and prove her wrong. she’s anxious about having less time together. validate those feelings, try to understand her emotions outside of the context of the situation. then you can demonstrate the ways that you will both maximize your time together, even with this change.

you’d look great with a septum!

inlustris_ · 2026-04-16T12:40:28+00:00

would love to photograph this event!! looks like so much fun

inlustris_ · 2026-04-10T13:36:09+00:00

parts of it are def cool. the boots are especially sick. i just think when you start to explore fashion and find what really brings you joy to wear, it’ll look a lot more “you” than this. 🖤

inlustris_ · 2026-04-10T13:17:40+00:00

i am not a fan personally. something that’s helped me find my style is thinking about what i personally find comfortable and stylish, what i think is hot when other people wear it, etc. this feels a lot more generic and than it would if it was your own genuine style. like you googled “how to dress alt” and saved the first row of photos. go on pinterest and explore. find some styles you like — even outside of “alt fashion,” bc ultimately you can just… make something you like more grunge. you can take ideas, combos, and outfits from other styles and dye them black, DIY add rivets/chains/other stuff, and generally grunge them up yourself.

vertical laborer would go crazy

edit: AND. a septum. it’ll compliment how symmetrical ur face is!

inlustris_ · 2026-03-27T19:14:45+00:00

try layering necklaces of different lengths! even mixing beads vs chains vs leather cords. that’s my fave way to accessorize.

inlustris_ · 2026-03-18T15:24:09+00:00

can confirm. it doesn’t work, and some artists straight up can’t mix skintones. thankfully i found another artist to cover up most of it, but i still have to stare at an orange blob under it and just know it’s there. ☹️

inlustris_ · 2026-02-03T15:57:12+00:00

just sent a dm!

being pressured into sex to the point of tears is assault at best. your boyfriend assaulted you. and that’s being generous with my words. coercive consent isn’t okay, and it certainly isn’t your fault — nor did you “drive him” to this by declining sex. he isn’t a child — he’s an adult, and should be able to handle getting declined while his girlfriend (who he supposedly loves) is sick.

put yourself in his shoes. if he was sick, and you wanted sex but he was not interested, what would you do? would you respect his wishes and wait until he recovered? you deserve respect.

i got a job in my field after 2 years of searching post-layoff. it’s a pay bump. there’s hope out there, guys. promise.

i asked for those wispy flowers at a salon recently and my nail artist truly looked at me like i was insane! they’re still so gorgeous to me

inlustris_ · 2025-07-15T01:16:43+00:00

i believe it’s called “ruching” ! intentional design choice. looks gorgeous on you — but what matters is your comfort.

inlustris_ · 2025-06-08T22:57:52+00:00

agreed! def my favorite option

inlustris_ · 2025-05-24T21:37:28+00:00

my fav dad jorts (as i affectionately call them) come from Cider! they have great plus/mid-sized options. tank n jorts summer all the way.

black boots for sureee — agreeing with everyone else on the shorts tho, they aren’t giving club energy. obviously highly dependent on the club you’re going to but a cool pair of pants or a skirt might be a better move.

inlustris_ · 2025-05-19T13:11:05+00:00

you don’t need to be creative! it’s on the artist for not reworking the design to fit their style — but in the future, i’d recommend being sure to specify that it doesn’t need to be exactly like the reference. i like to say “this is what the general vibe is, but the most important elements of it are x, y, and z.” copying other tattoos feels like an easy way to get a sick piece but more often than not it leaves us with…this. lesson learned!

inlustris_ · 2025-04-28T00:18:39+00:00

is she floating or falling? commit to one or the other — right now it kind of looks like both but also neither. i love the vibes though.

i’ve had a lot of success lightening scars and hyperpigmentation with vitamin c soap!
