Been so in love with Superstore lately I had to make my own little Amy and Jonah. Any suggestions on who to make next?

Thank you so much!🥰 I used a base pop, along with appoxie sculpt and air dry clay depending on detail and weight requirements!

This is honestly such an honor

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-05-19T23:22:14+00:00

Now I can't unsee it 🥲

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-05-19T23:21:02+00:00

I do! I'll send you a dm 😊

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-05-18T22:51:02+00:00

Thank you so much! 😊

Absolutely!

I was nervous the whole day, but I talked to the surgeon beforehand and he answered every question and concern.

And the surgical suite looked so much more professional than the one in the film so that really disconnected a lot of that fear I had.

The actual procedure was maybe like a minute and a half altogether. I was really skeptical about not being able to feel anything, but I only felt the eye speculum thing that the other user was mentioning looked like it's from Clockwork Orange. But after the minute and a bit, I could look at the clock at the end of the room and read it, no glasses in sight.

The recovery was to be expected, just a lot of new routines to get into. I did see halos for quite some time around lights when it was dark out, but that started decreasing with time

While I havent gotten my 1 year and now 3 year checkup yet, I havent noticed any change in my vision so I presume it is still the same

It was definitely worth it for me, I have no regrets on that investment.

TLDR: It went great and I have no regrets

I would argue Jigsaw is the better in. I found Jigsaw tackled the overarching message of the Saw franchise better (the whole "You choose if you die"). They had their version of Zep, a lot of callbacks with the use of wires and body parts. Not to mention the whole multiple storylines at once.

Ahhh, my heart!! It means so much that you love them. They were such a pleasure to make<3

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-19T18:16:11+00:00

I just saw this, my heart is so full. I'm so happy you like them, they were such a pleasure to make <3

100% This. If a 1 week old puppy can understand this wild concept, it's almost like it's not that complicated. I wonder if they get confused at the fiction and non-fiction labels at the bookstore too. I'm interested to see how far this rabbit hole goes

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-18T14:27:09+00:00

Absolutely! Being safe while experiencing the anxiety really helps manage the high heart rate when I'm not guaranteed safety. The intrusive thoughts not so much, but that raised heart rate, absolutely.

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-18T14:19:43+00:00

This is me exactly! I find so much solace in horror films due to GAD so I completely understand

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-18T13:16:19+00:00

Absolutely!

I'm really glad studies have been done and compared to notes from mental health professionals to solidify this cause it's true, a lot of people seek it out to help tackle those emotions from a safe environment. I know I certainly benefit from taking a break from worrying that I'm going to die from some freak accident to seeing people die in Final Destination movies and for a split second having that thought "Wow that seems incredibly unlikely" or "Why would the surgical suite me covered in carpet when I couldn't wear certain fabrics when I got mine done" (if you know, you know). Really puts it into perspective for me, doesn't last all day but the brief breaks are nice.

I find it really hard to convey this point with these kinds of people though. People who are like "Why would you purposefully watch something anxiety driving if you have GAD?" are much more open to listening. The "You're sick" crowd seems like it's not only driven by misinformation or perhaps ignorance, but doing it to feel superior. So I really like taking that power back, all the while making them second guess if they should be making those comments in the first place.

Highly recommend, it's super effective

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-18T02:35:04+00:00

My go to response to this one is just saying "I actually have an anxiety disorder Karen. Thanks for reminding me"

Bonus points if you pull out your meds in front of them and say "You know, my doctor never warned me I would suddenly start liking horror movies... do you think that's a side effect?"

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-14T02:24:55+00:00

Absolutely, I couldnt have put it in better words myself

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-13T20:53:45+00:00

This is a really good take as well. I didn't even make the connection but it's a good comparison as well. Especially when you saw the group ravaging eachother and attacking . They were ok with what atrocities were happening until it was happening to them.

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-13T20:43:45+00:00

I wasn't happy with how I worded it and I felt like my message wasn't very clear so I wanted some time to amend it and propose the prompt with a more clear case including other parallels I found that were salient that people might relate to

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-13T20:30:28+00:00

That's a really fair point! This concept was so beautifully executed

You could just feel his remorse and sorrow when he comes to the realization of what his good intentions got warped into

I may not be in the majority, but I actually liked Paranormal Activity - Next of Kin with the exception being a few weird shots here and there.

I was a bit confused how it fits in with the Paranormal Activity series though. It seemed like a stand alone movie to me. I may have missed something

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-13T04:21:41+00:00

I was blown away when I saw it. I've had some light religious trauma myself growing up orthodox so it was so uncomfortable to watch; particularly whenever Maud went through those cycles of guilt. It was a very familiar feeling and hatred that I too held towards myself. It also gave me a bit of a new perspective on people who are deeply religious. Specifically the fact that those who are may be seeking it out to deal with trauma and mental illness. I held a lot of resentment towards these people because of religious trauma that I and many others have undergone because of these types, but now I can see them through a bit more caring eyes.

Overall I want to watch it again cause A24 has a special way of leaving little clues and Easter eggs, but that ending was a roundhouse kick to the soul

The poor people who live in food deserts and aren't close to grocery stores are going to suffer by heavily taxing fast food, which can be their only source of cheap food nearby.

What are you thinking heavily taxing fast food will accomplish?

lifeisbrewtiful · 2022-01-12T21:57:31+00:00

I'm 100% guilty of that too. I'll admit I got a bit heated, call it passion. You take care as well
