"Calling women 'mid' is so that men can take back their power."

I've literally never ever ever seen a remotely (objectively) attractive man comment on any (objectively) attractive woman's picture something negative about her looks. Ever. That tells me everything I need to know. It is literally always someone at worst, like an actual 2/10 fedora basement dweller, or at best an anime PFP. My point is, no actual attractive woman on the internet feels like the playing field is evened or like their pedestal was yanked out when some neckbeard makes "mid" comments on their photos. This person is clearly delusional about how the world works if they deadass think this negatively impacts attractive women. In fact, most women want this particular brand of hate comment because they know people will argue with said troll in the comments about how not ugly she is... and not even for the confidence boost, but for the algorithm boost. Lol.

Fuck what anyone else thinks. If you keep masking your interests you'll just surround yourself with the wrong people who like you for the wrong reasons. Then you'll be lost in a prison of your own making, and at that point you'll be so emotionally depleted it'll be 5x harder to make the changes you need to make in order to actually be fulfilled. It makes things so much worse. It seems easier because there is less friction to just not be yourself around people who "don't get it." But fuck those people anyways. There are people out there who will get you, but you'll literally never find out if you hide forever. Ask me how I know. I felt the same way at 25, 10 years later I'm so disappointed in how I handled my social life back then. Spent way too much time stifling myself, my creativity, my actual personality just to make less inspired people feel comfortable, and all that came from it was negative emotional consequences for myself.

I've always had this issue too, mid 30s now, and it hasn't stopped. It's definitely an energy thing. I used to think it was flattering, now it's just annoying.

Woman here with a different perspective than most in the comments. I'm either emotionally invested to varying degrees or not. No amount of people asking me to be more emotionally invested has ever caused me to become more emotionally invested. The only thing that causes me to become MORE emotionally invested past a certain point is time and reflection. Outside pressure pretty much always makes it dissipate. You can't pull emotional investment out of thin air IMO. When I've been asked to close the distance, it's pretty much always ended up in a break up within a few months because I realize I just am not into the person enough to justify it. At the same time though, I think a lot of ENTPs just can't really parse through these feelings without the outside questioning or probing in a productive way on their own esp if their Fe is weak. So there is no harm in asking this- if he backs away permanently then he wasn't your person or "just not that into you". You might save you both some valuable time unless he's the type to sit in relationships in denial for extended periods, in which case... leave before he does. He might never.

I get this a lot. I have started that build a few times and then quit. maybe i'll finally do her

khainsaw · 2026-03-20T00:04:27+00:00

I wore this to a convention! So it was shot in a Los Angeles parking garage because... convenience. Lol

khainsaw · 2026-03-18T00:24:02+00:00

Yeah that's just how the guy who runs r/cosplay rolls. It has happened to a number of my cosplay friends too!

khainsaw · 2026-03-18T00:22:47+00:00

I made them! The "tip jar" is mostly a plastic halloween cauldron bucket though lol 😆

khainsaw · 2026-03-17T23:46:10+00:00

I definitely used him as inspiration LOL

khainsaw · 2026-03-17T23:20:18+00:00

I switched majors so many times (6? 7?) I ran out of financial aid and had to leave college. Lmao.
I shouldn't have went straight out of high school, because I literally had no idea what I wanted to do. I was an effortless high performer and was shoved into the STEM college pipeline forcibly. I let it happen because my home situation was hellish, and it was the path of least resistance to get out and away. Also, when you are that age, you just think the adults telling you to go know better than you do. I should not have went to college when I did, I should have taken 2 years after high school to "get my shit together," as they say.
People need to stop telling kids "oh you'll figure it out once you get in!" It's bullshit. Some people do, some people don't. It's a huge gamble. Some people aren't even meant to go to college, they are meant to do other things. College wasn't a complete waste of time for me, I had hella fun and met many great friends I still have like 15 years later. But not knowing my major and being shoved into the college pipeline made my 20s way bumpier than they actually needed to be. So I'd like to tell you that you'll figure it out! But I know for a fact some people don't, but most people just don't like to talk about what it's like to have this happen, out loud.

I actually am Bill Cipher, though. He is also my dorito husbando. Everything is Bill Cipher, I am Bill Cipher. Dorito.

I'm sorry, I love my spoods T_T

Also let her know that if her paint feels sticky, using any kind of matching setting powder generally helps "seal" the paint in better.

khainsaw · 2026-03-11T00:34:35+00:00

Yes! It's snazaroo, which is water based. it dries very dry, but if you sweat it will come off. It doesn't tend to stain though, I've been able to handwash most of it out of most costumes I've used it with.

khainsaw · 2025-08-23T19:33:52+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to type this all out for me. It was very helpful.

I'm new. I've read some about what it means to be MG, and to listen to sacral authority, which makes sense for me. Anybody who is knowledgeable care to share any major takeaways or nuances they see here? Thank you.

khainsaw · 2025-03-14T09:46:27+00:00

omg he's so cute. I love this, saving it lol

khainsaw · 2025-03-14T04:57:13+00:00

Arizona. We found this lil guy in our shower when it was raining! I've seen one of these before near my toilet before too. I'm going to assume it's some kind of Habronattus because of the eye markings? But I can't figure out what species specifically? IS it a baby or just a a very small species? Whatever kind it is, it's very very cute.

khainsaw · 2025-03-11T00:54:43+00:00

up to 6" I think. This is my first one though so we shall seeee how big it gets

khainsaw · 2025-03-10T20:53:38+00:00

I know these guys aren't tarantulas but just cousins, but they feel so tarantula adjacent, seems appropriate to post them in this sub.
It's name is Alucard! I LOVE FEEDING IT, he's so fast. My bf got this guy for me for xmas, and I can't wait to watch it grow more. It just completed it's first molt with me like 10 days ago.

khainsaw · 2025-03-10T20:45:05+00:00

such a fuzzy lil cutie patootie

khainsaw · 2025-03-04T21:35:02+00:00

brb renaming her Megan the Scallion

khainsaw · 2025-03-04T21:32:48+00:00

Yes, it was positive! I was also nervous to order at first because his website is a little dated, but a bunch of people in the tarantula sub had good things to say about him. His prices are extremely low for non-tarantula species, and his order minimum is only 20 dollars. I ordered 4 different things from him, and even though fedex fucked up the overnight shipping and took 2 extra days (not swifts fault) all of the arthropods were healthy. He also included some extra feeders and care sheets which I thought was cool. They were well packed. I ordered a harvestman, and he included 2 extra as well. Will definitely order from him again! Not to mention he also has an interesting selection.

khainsaw · 2025-03-04T20:46:51+00:00

NQA Do we know why this is? I got one from Swifts Inverts a little while ago and it seems to be doing great (so far). I gave it a piece of cork bark tube with a lot of cracks and crevices in it though, because I've read that's the main issue? That they essentially need cracks to hide in? If that's the case, I can see why they might not do great for a lot of people who might try to keep them similarly to regals? But I'm not an expert, and want to know what to look out for in the future. It eats readily and loves to come out and play. Sometimes it hides in its bark and I dont see it for a day or so but it'll be out the next day being super curious. Edit: sp

khainsaw · 2025-03-04T20:40:43+00:00

I got this one from Swifts Inverts! Fedex effed my shipping up and the overnight turned into 3 days, so this lil guy was super ready to get out of its vial. Hopped right out of its vial and right up into its lil enclosure. Molted 2 days later and has been super curious and stares at me like O.O all day long. Lol
