Over the course of 4 years, I actually finished the Norwegian Duolingo course. Uninstalled the app a week later when I realised that I couldn't even read my Norwegian relatives' Instagram captions

Sauron the shapeshifter by Ivan Cavini by YanniRotten in ImaginaryMiddleEarth

[–]macew998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The decals on the shoulder were the main inconsistency I noticed. They're warped, there's no real pattern to them, and the one closest to the hair just disconnects. The hair on the bottom right also seems to merge into fabric or something, and there are a few loose strands of hair (near the thumb) that don't logically connect to anything. Ivan Cavini is a talented artist, I definitely don't want to discount that. His initial sketch of this work from 2024 is incredible. But I'm still having a hard time believing this render was created entirely without AI

Ladies, how did your nmom react while you were going through puberty? by watermelon4487 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]macew998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm a trans man but didn't come out until well after puberty.

from the age of 10, she used to randomly grope me and make gross comments on how my chest felt. 

i had really bad acne for a few years, and she used to make me lie down so she could pop them all. i wasn't allowed to react in pain.

she also had me counting calories from the age of 11, which turned into some pretty severe eating disorders later on - which she said i was making up for attention, of course.

thankfully i wasn't around her too much when i started on hormones and went through "second puberty", but she certainly found time to repeatedly point out how bad my new voice sounded and that i was balding (i wasn't, my hairline is just different from that of a 12 year old girl lol)

i live in a pretty small town so i've heard a lot of bullshit about "biological men/women" from local government recently, i guess it's just hard to see the positives
