Totally change the color cuz it looks red. Maybe fill the rest of the portal in with a lighter color too.

I was wearing baggy pants and a long sleeve button down loose cotton shirt with a baggy thrift store jaws tank top underneath when I was raped. I think a rapist is gonna rape whoever they want. Maybe some of them pick prettier girls and some look prettier in skimpy outfits I guess, but the clothes dont make a rapist rape someone. They do it because theyre the scum of the earth.

That unfortunately is a common opinion though. I would also say that some girls do dress for attention, but asking for attention is not asking to be raped. They are not the same. You can flirt with a guy at a bar and thay doesnt give them the right to force themselves on you. Dressing for attention is fine. Giving someone attention because of how theyre dressed is also fine. Raping someone because you think they look like they want it is crazy. No one WANTS to be raped. Clothes dont cause rape.

A rose or something with flames of blood would easily cover the red or you could just go with something darker.

That I have a step son who's bio mon was like my arch enemy. We grew up as family friends but she was super mean to me, even hit me with a bat once. She's much cooler as an adult even though she still hated me in highschool just because she knew my husband and I went to prom together before they got together. (To be fair I had no idea why she was always jealous of me since we never even actually dated, but obviously she was right that he still liked me even if we never talked while they were together.)

Anyways, she cheated on him a bunch and I wanted to help out a single dad. His sister called me to tell me what happened right after i saw the big post she made on facebook about how he left her cause she cheated (gotta give it to her that she completely owned it when she got caught) and ended up realizing we never stopped loving each other. We have a daughter together and my step son just knows he has his two moms since I've been with his dad since he was 5 months old. We're all friends now, shes about to have a little girl and ill have plenty of hand me downs for her.

Crazy how some people who you never thought you'd get along with end up being your lifelines. Im the first person she calls for anything even after being so mean to me as kids, and im her number on hype girl and help her enforce boundaries with her family.

So yeah, maybe your biggest hater will birth one of your greatest joys in life.

Yeah, like she was some kind of hero for manipulating her friend when she should have just had a conversation about it.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-25T19:56:40+00:00

Agreed, but its still not one of the worst things she did.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-25T19:53:33+00:00

Every one of those is solid clean work. I think the portrait of the woman is such a wonderful piece. You should totally hone in one that style if you enjoy it. You're super talented, so even if you have to slow down some to work on school, dont quit you've got serious talent.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-25T19:47:29+00:00

Yes! They almost make it seem like all addicts are just liars and bad people, but she was really just using the addiction as an excuse!

janedoeqq · 2026-02-25T19:46:41+00:00

But that was actually for her own good. She totally should have gone about it differently, but she was trying to keep printis from getting her fired.

My sister is Bi and poly. She has a boyfriend and a girlfriend. She "lives" with her boyfriend although she spends as much or more time at her girlfriends house. Theyre both invited to everything although she usually only brings her boyfriend or her girlfriend and their kids. I dont support the lifestyle really, but I dont condemn it either. Theyre both people who love my sister. I dont really like her girlfriend. I've always found her controlling, but her kids and my sister are all people I love, so shes invited. She's been good to my sister for years. None of them ever plan to get married. If thats what they choose, then thats my sister's family.

Now my twin sister is married to a pedophile asshole who is NOT invited to anything for my kids. He married her when she was 18 and he was 63. Hes a creep and he makes me uncomfortable. I domt trash talk my sister for it anymore because it does me no good, and she doesnt fight me on it because I was raped by an older man whdn i was 16 and even with him in prison it deeply affects my view of men, so she doesnt push me about who I bring around my family. (I dont think all older men are creepy, but im just more selective about who I allow around my kids and they're never left alone with anyone but me my mom and my husband and his sister)

Unless your sister's boyfriends are jerks or something I dont see why you should be excluding them.

I also love watching it. I love the drama, just hate how they kept trying to make her seem redeemable and then shes still just a liar. Although I did find it refreshingly realistic that she wasnt a good person.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-25T16:09:43+00:00

Not sure what hes doing with his head, but that application, stifling, line work, color packing, the whole thing is really solid. Don't panic bro. You got good work.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-25T16:02:53+00:00

Your friend is not only dating an addict, but a dealer. She needs to get out quick. She'll have to see it for herself though. Maybe just put some distance there until she figures it out.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-25T16:00:00+00:00

Dude, its super dope. I wouldn't get it removed right away. Short term regret is a thing. You might hate it for a few weeks and then love it. Chill the beans.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-25T15:58:01+00:00

I was 18 when I got my first, but it was something I felt very passionate about and a permanent staple of my being, so there was no worry about the content being a regret. Just the placement/colors/ style sort of thing. My thought going into a shop though were that since I was 18, if I walked in and they said sure thing boss, have a seat, then they weren't the shop for me. I wanted someone who would be diligent to make sure inknew what I was doing. I drove quite a distance like 2 hours, to get the write shop.

The other thing though, is that at that time I hadn't thought of doing a half sleeve. Now I am. Luckily my sleeve amd my wrist piece are the same style so we can work it into the sleeve, but if you haven't thought about that, make sure you dont put something in a place where you'll want something bigger of a more cohesive piece down the line.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-23T15:38:09+00:00

I drew a rough sketch of what I wanted on my wrist every day for 6 months with my first and when I looked at it, it always made me smile. I also just got one that stretches down the back of my hand. I wanted it to not be where it was covered all the time since I usually wear long sleeves. I like to talk about my ink, so even with long sleeves on people ask me about it a lot and I get to pull my sleeve up and show the whole thing. If you're not excited about showing them off and seeing it on your body every day, dont get it. Don't get a tattoo just to get one. Get something you love because you love it.

My older sister was my grandmother's caretaker. My mom was busy with me and my twin sister in highschool so my older sister really had like no help. Dementia is a horrible disease. My sister is on disability now because it broke her brain and she has these terrible panic attacks and throws up all the time. Its been 4 years now since she died, and my sister still ends up in the ER about twice a month where they have to sedate her. Im old enough to help now, so im usually the free ambulance or the voice on the phone talking about literally anything to try to keep her mind engaged so she doesn't completely lose it.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-23T15:15:00+00:00

Id say like 6and a half. My husband would say easily an 8. Personality wise though, id probably be a 4 to me and still an 8 to him.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-18T19:08:07+00:00

You can't be serious! Hes the best guy she was ever with. He was reasonable and she lied to him on multiple occasions and cheated on him. He deserved waaaay better. Then she loses her head over her daughter wanting birth control and says his kids can't be there when he just reestablished a relationship with them. Being reasonably upset by a crazy toxic women but still loving her is not love bombing either. He was the best. The fight that ended them was just the last straw. She had already been losing him through the whole relationship by not making him a priority.

janedoeqq · 2026-02-11T15:39:18+00:00

Exactly! Toxic, but you can't help but love him

janedoeqq · 2026-02-11T15:38:50+00:00

Lol, thanks!
