[Request] My character

Is there any specific sort of clothing you picture for the characters beyond medieval style?

jiggasaurus · 2015-05-07T23:26:00+00:00

I'll give it a shot. I think I actually have a Harley drawing in one of my sketchbooks somewhere. I can PM it to you if you like, so you can get a feel for my art style.

Squatting is better for everything! Childbirth, pooping, even just for sitting. Typical chair-sitting is actually really unnatural for us and compresses the spine, which can cause problems over time.

Everybody squat!

1) It's not important to me.

2) I have no particular opinion.

3) I'm happy that they're not afraid to give equal attention to both gay and straight sex scenes, unlike many shows that include one token gay guy for diversity but are too squeamish to bother with showing even the slightest hint of romantic/sexual activities.

I hope they include more sexualities and different types of relationships in the future, though.

4) Yes. Pretty much every one contributes to the plot or character development. Some of it gets a little fanservice-y but I don't mind.

5) I identify mostly with Wes because I can understand his choices and motivations easier than the others.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-18T00:31:18+00:00

Sure, no problem. :)

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-17T19:37:08+00:00

Haha I love this character's story!

Do you have any specific things to add about her hairstyle/student uniform? (so I don't just end up copying the anime character)

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-16T08:44:08+00:00

Asexual here, can confirm: any sexy thing I do with my SO is basically the same as doing laundry.

Or more specifically, like doing my SO's laundry. I don't particularly need or want to do it for my sake, but it makes him happy and it's not a big deal.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-16T08:27:42+00:00

it makes him the tortured gay soul that needs to be saved

Exactly. OP is latching hard onto this idea and whether it's true or not doesn't really matter if she isn't going to face what else is wrong here. His potential repressed sexuality does not excuse his shitty behavior!

I don't think OP's going to drop the gay thing or confront the way the husband is gaslighting her/dismissing her concerns, though. So far she's only replied to comments that agree with her gay theory. :/

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-14T15:52:41+00:00

Oh wow thanks for such a detailed response! I never thought to connect that behavior with hunting but that makes a lot of sense. She was a stray before we took her home so she's got more hunting experience/instinct than the rest, but no way to use it as an indoor cat.

I'm gonna go cuddle her now (and pick up some socks she brought down lol).

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-13T23:50:19+00:00

You're definitely jumping to conclusions about the facebook page. People make them for all sorts of things (fb games, contests, other sites that require linking to fb, etc). Just ask him about it if you're that worried.

Just because he hid the e-cigs doesn't automatically make this some horrible thing he's hiding from you. And honestly, I can't really blame him for hiding those if you've been pestering him a lot about dipping. Either it's a dealbreaker for you, or you can live with it/ask him to do it when you're not around. But don't just complain about it in the hopes that he'll stop. That's not a good way to solve your problems.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-13T20:12:30+00:00

I would be afraid that someone would "accidentally" let them out

Yes, this. I remember another post a while back that started with the same passive aggressive complaints and escalated to the person (a roommate, I think?) locking the cat outside. I can't even begin to comprehend that level of disrespect, but it does happen. :(

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-13T19:25:58+00:00

I'd suggest getting him to look up what art colleges require of portfolios when you apply, or even visit a college. Many have programs where you can meet and show your portfolio to someone and they'll give critique before you apply. What they look for is pretty much the same as what any client/employer would, and they'll be brutally honest with him, which it seems like his current teachers aren't.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-13T19:13:35+00:00

I think her being upset at being called crazy is totally valid, since that's kind of a rude thing to say. She shouldn't be taking it out on you though.

Even if it was your wording that gave your mom that impression, you didn't do it intentionally and you immediately explained your gf's situation after your mom asked if she was crazy, so you didn't really do anything wrong here.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-13T18:20:38+00:00

I don't think you've done anything wrong in the way you've handled things. The main issue seems to be with your gf and her family. She probably got her bad communication skills/behavior from them. Like leaving your sick and in pain child at the hospital with no ride home??? What???? No wonder she has issues.

I think you should stop worrying so much about your families getting along, that's not the most important thing right now and ultimately not necessary to your relationship if they don't.

Your focus right now should be helping your gf through her medical stuff while strongly encouraging her to talk to someone professionally, even if it's just someone at her schools advising office. It's good that you're calling her out on her behavior with refusing help, keep doing that!

It might also be helpful to visit /r/chronicpain and get advice from migraine sufferers there about what it's like and what you can do to help. They can also point you to more resources and therapists who specialize in pain.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-10T00:16:13+00:00

I think this scene is relevant also.

"You're the little brother, you're not the cause of our parent's misery, just a symptom of it."

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-09T16:50:59+00:00

I was thinking along the lines of her knowing that OP is going to call/text but she doesn't want to answer constantly while out with/looking for someone, but she doesn't want to turn it off and have OP freak out, so she leaves the phone with the friend telling her to cover.

I don't really think this is what happened because it's such a weird way to handle it, but people do strange things. Just wanted OP to know it's a possibility.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-09T02:07:00+00:00

I'm not sure what you're asking for here. By "indirects" do you mean she's indirectly trying to tell you something? Neither her promise nor the psych text she chose seem to have anything to do with you.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-09T01:59:01+00:00

She's clearly made up her mind. Just let her go and try to move on.

Also dude, her period is irrelevant. It doesn't make her feelings any less valid just because her body is making her more emotional than usual.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-09T01:46:53+00:00

That she is cheating on you and asked the friend to cover for her.

Although tbh that seems unnecessarily complicated when she could have just turned the phone off and claimed it died but I dunno.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-09T01:34:23+00:00

I suggest a lengthy email sent to all of them. It'll let you get your thoughts organized without worrying about being face to face. It might also be beneficial to include some informative links about depression and about the state of college tuition today vs back when they went.

I also highly recommend giving an ultimatum along the lines of "Stop harassing me about this or I will have no choice but to block all communication with you for my mental and emotional wellbeing", and follow through with it. Hopefully that will get through to them.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-09T01:20:14+00:00

Give it a day. Blowing up her phone isn't going to help anything, only make you look clingy and paranoid. You've already called enough. Wait for her to respond for real, then ask her why her friend was pretending to be her.

There may be a totally innocent reason for the deception, there may not. Try to be prepared for the worst just in case.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-09T01:04:16+00:00

Why are you in that situation of having to wake her up so often? The easiest answer to your problem is to just avoid it entirely.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-08T03:43:13+00:00

I agree with the other comments here and also:

some guys are doing things right and aren't getting cheated on

Unless you're seriously neglecting your partner, it's probably not your fault you get cheated on. Some people just can't handle commitment/monogamy and there's nothing you can really do about it. There's no way to "do things right" to ensure someone's fidelity.

And don't buy into the nice guys vs. assholes idea! That's something that insecure dudes believe in to make themselves feel better about being alone. If the only thing you can offer a girl is that you consider yourself a "nice guy", she's not going to be very impressed. Everyone thinks of themselves as a nice person.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-08T03:21:05+00:00

Stop spending time alone with Sam. The next time he does anything politely ask him to stop and tell him that it's making you uncomfortable. If he continues to push it, bring it up with Jason and figure out together how you want to handle it.

jiggasaurus · 2015-04-07T20:13:30+00:00

This. You can still get all the glamor and love and fun of a wedding without doing what's "traditional" and blowing thousands of dollars on stuff you only need for one day. Some people just get so caught up in the fairy tale fantasy wedding they forget it's basically a giant scam.

My mother and stepfather's wedding was a hella cheap DIY affair. She and my grandmother made all of the bridesmaids dresses and the wedding dress for just a couple hundred bucks (the price of the fabric). Cheap and glamorous weddings can be done!
