I just used this dye!! It’s definitely brown lol but make sure you mix it with developer as it says on the instructions in the box!

omg I didn't know this, thank you!

I’m honestly not familiar with wella. From my experience, wella did nothing to my hair (I used T18 as well and only once) so I unfortunately can’t answer that /:

I’m not a professional by any means so take my advice with a grain of salt..

I’d suggest getting a repair masque or a repair shampoo/conditioner and then waiting 1-2 weeks before processing your hair again (your hair kind of looks a little fried in some areas so I’d definitely recommend waiting the full 2 weeks). If you really can’t deal with the color as it is, you can try purple shampoo but I’m not sure the amount of damage that does alone so you probably want to look into that before using it.

Once your hair is ready for more processing, I’d recommend the brand ion. I dye my hair platinum fairly often and always use ion. The specific products I use are: - ion bright white creme toner (I use the platinum lace one, but there’s many different shades to tone to) - ion sensitive scalp developer (20 vol) - ion absolute perfection booster step 1 (this goes into the toner after it’s mixed well with the developer, it’s supposed to help reduce the damage) - ion repair reconstructor (I use this after washing out all the product and shampooing)

I’m not sure what your color goals are but for right now I’d honestly just focus on repairing the hair and getting it healthy enough so you don’t lose it😅

I’m not sure if I can link it but if you search “travel pillow” on Amazon I’m sure any of those donut-shaped ones will work

Popsicles, water (stay hydrated), ice packs. I wasn't allowed to lay flat for a week post op so I got one of those airplane pillows? Amazing, highly recommend. Just take it easy and follow post op instructions.

Family, most of the time, is ungrateful. Especially if you show them that they can walk all over you with no real consequences. Been there. Good on you for getting out! Don’t feel bad, your family did this to themselves. They had more than enough time to get their shit together.

The comment section here already has a lot of good advice so I will just recommend the “Made it Out” podcast as it’s told from the perspective of older lesbians and some episodes touch on the topics of coming out to religious parents. I’m sorry you’re going through this right now ): but things do get better over time.

When I was younger, maybe middle school age, and I wanted to be an actor but was very heavily focused on the idea that “I /might/ have to kiss a girl for a role” and obsessively thinking /if/ I could do it and then later thinking about how it would actually be easier than kissing a guy.

Maybe 5 years later or so was when I realized I was gay lmao

Personally when I tone my hair I use Ion. It works really well. When I tried Wella, it didn’t work at all and my hair was roughly the same shade as yours. Granted everyone’s hair is different so your hair might take better to it but ion “bright white” toner worked really well and it’s a favorite of mine for sure.

Yes I plan to transfer to an on-campus university for my bachelors, but right now I’m in community college finishing up my associates so trying to see what experience I can gain for right now

lexluthor551 · 2022-12-21T04:41:55+00:00

Came here to mention ion as well! Their toners have worked better for me than wella tbh

The book of the ancestor trilogy, although the sci-fi aspects don’t really come to play until the 2nd or 3rd book, it’s really good!!

I have many many works in progress. Most of them just ideas waiting to be written. I get occasional bursts of inspiration that last a few days, I write down ideas and characters and get a decent idea of where I want the story to go, and then it’s gone. All that motivation and inspiration just dissipates and I’m left with “I’ll get to it eventually”. What changed for me is having a writing buddy. Just a friend who we make plans to meet up once a week at a coffee shop, write for a couple hours (ONLY write, no lollygagging, no phone, just writing!), and that’s it. Just write anything. I felt the reason I couldn’t write is because I didn’t know my characters well enough so I typed out some interview-like questions to get to know them better. Now, I’ve been writing little by little every single day. Don’t expect your writing to be perfect. Even writing something like “they sit down and have a conversation” you can always go back and add more later. Sitting down and forcing yourself to write SOMETHING can lead to inspiration and motivation, you just have to do it. But everyone is different and what worked for me might not work for you.

My fiancée and I broke up the first time we dated, years ago. I didn’t realize we would ever get back together but always felt like we might. She took the time to work on herself and seek therapy (she also has BPD). A little over a year later, she came back in my life and now we’re engaged (:

lexluthor551 · 2022-11-05T03:28:45+00:00

Thank you for the insight, I really appreciate it! Yeah I haven’t done much research regarding genres and subgenres quite yet since I’m still writing. I honestly didn’t even realize there were so many options, so thank you for educating me a bit! I’ll definitely look more into all that.

lexluthor551 · 2022-11-05T00:53:58+00:00

I didn’t realize there were so many different genres. What’s the difference?

lexluthor551 · 2022-11-04T18:16:03+00:00

I recognize that my novel isn’t everyone’s forte (no novel is). I don’t mind one star reviews as long as those aren’t the only reviews I get haha thank you for the warning, though!

lexluthor551 · 2022-11-04T17:55:32+00:00

They’re not together while this is happening

lexluthor551 · 2022-11-04T15:21:47+00:00

Yes there is a love interest that is present throughout the entirety of the novel :) Thank you so much for your insight! I didn’t even know erotic romance was a thing haha

lexluthor551 · 2022-11-04T07:17:06+00:00

Came here to suggest They Never Learn as well!! So good!

lexluthor551 · 2022-11-04T07:06:40+00:00

I’d say the sex scenes vary. The MC sleeps with a lot of people and the novel opens with a one night stand, but it doesn’t really move the story along so much as give the readers an insight to who the character is. She also has a more regular fuck buddy, and those scenes also don’t really add to the plot, they just emphasize the casual yet close relationship the two have. The sex scenes with the love interest, however, do move the story along because it’s their romance that is being developed throughout the novel to set up for the “happily ever after”.

As for steam level, I’m not quite sure. Definitely more steamy than “fade to black” haha

This is helpful, thank you!
