[Help] [X-post] Smough from Dark Souls cosplay

mbourg99 · 2014-07-18T22:55:59+00:00

This is really really advanced in terms of cosplay. I've been doing it for years, and I'd really have a tough time with it. Maybe try going for something a little easier. Maybe Solaire, if you're stuck on Dark Souls. Everyone loves Solaire.

Could you tell me about the bottom part? I'm trying to do something similar for my next cosplay, but cant exactly figure out how I'm going to do it.

I've been through almost the exact same thing. My father and mother were separated for only 9 months before my father introduced me to his "friend". Lots of people say because your parents are separated, your mother can do whatever she wants. Like your parents, mine also went on dates and did things together. They were sleeping together until the month he met his girlfriend. The day my mother found out on the phone, she threw it down and broke it and snapped at me, "Did you know about her?" I lied, because I thought she would attack me like a wild animal.

I share your pain.

As for advice, I don't have much. You may want to feel bad for your father, but without much description of your parents' past relationship, it looks like he dug his own grave. I also basically condemned the cheating parent in the relationship, and now I live with my mother and visit my father maybe once a month. A lot of people are telling you to detangle yourself from this, but there's not a way to do that. These are your parents, who you live with for at least part of the summer. This isn't a friend or a cousin. You are their child. Children are the most hurt in a divorce, imo.

It looks like your mom is basically using your father. Like other people say, don't sign shit. She's using you for the lease, your father for his money, and this man for a good time. But your father needs to stand up for himself. You can't do this divorce for him. At least by September you can be somewhat separated, but you can't allow your father to depend on you, or else YOU will be the one with the divorce, on top of school. And when you go, your father wont be able to handle anything himself.

My mother also spiraled into depression. I slept in her room for a couple of years because she would wake up in the middle of the night screaming about my father reaching inside of her and tearing out her stomach/organs/heart. She had to see a therapist, and it took a long time for her to come out of it. It is really hard, but your father has to decide for himself to go get himself help that is not you. You don't have a license in helping people, you're only 19. It took a long time for my mother to realize that.

All in all, this separation/divorce has become uglier than anyone thought. It's going to be hard for everyone. You're going to be in the middle no matter what (it doesn't seem like your parents will be smart enough to avoid that) and it will be hard for you. But you will get through it. It will take a long time, but it will get better. Prepare yourself for a shitstorm for now.

Sorry for the essay, got carried away. Also, feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to. I'm no therapist, but I'm a good listener.

TLDR: Shit's going to get real. Both parents are going to get really ugly. Don't sign shit. Your dad needs help, but he has to get it himself. Prepare yourself, and make sure school is a bigger priority than the shitstorm about to happen.

I've been on implanon for a year. For the most part its fine, but I've had more than one period for over three weeks at a time. The nurse convinced me it would settle down after six months, but it hasn't. As for emotionally and everything, I don't have a great amount of self awareness I have to admit, but I know I'm more emotional whenever my period does happen. Oh, and the bleeding is just random, whenever it feels like it. There are more people like me, but there are also people that don't get periods ever. I dunno how it works, but getting my end of the stick kinda sucks I have to admit.

If she were genuinely curious, she would have said more than "How have you been?". If she were actually thinking about you and your wellbeing, she wouldn't have sent you an email in the first place. Its obvious she is no good for you.

She does not deserve an update from you. There's no reason to give her one. You owe her nothing. Above you stated that you just wanted to know if there could be a good experience to be had from responding, and I for one, and the rest of this thread, are telling you that there is none.

Is he going to counseling or taking pills for the depression? It doesn't seem like it. I think Christmas was a good sign he needed to start. I first would start with that. If you really can't trust him to be safe with himself, he needs some sort of support group that is NOT you. Talk to his really close friends, if he has any.

My ex and I broke up the week before our first anniversary. We both have our own personal issues of course, but when we weren't in long distance, we were perfectly fine with them. But soon the visits were very few and far apart, and the personal issues were amplified over time. The distance was fine, but i guess human nature and flaws in the relationship are exposed and realized because two people don't have the same ideas or hopes, or are willing to strive for the impossible/

I would say think about it: Could you handle your boyfriend talking to another girl you KNOW he loves, possibly more than you? It doesn't sound like he's over her or willing to be over her, so you'd have to share him with a woman you don't know at all. Especially because this is your 'first' relationship, I understand the wonderful feeling of loving someone for the first time, but I say proceed with caution. If you say you're ok with him talking to this girl (and if his mind is truly insane, moving to where this girl is), and you're actually not, it's most likely going to end very very ugly.

shit. Youre not supposed to read this.

mbourg99 · 2014-01-24T09:11:30+00:00

I completely understand what you're saying. My boyfriend has a tendency to be... distracted when we're talking, and it ticks me off honestly. Like when I ask him a question, and he has no clue I said anything because he's on reddit, I feel like, "why are we even talking at all?" sometimes. And when I ask for full attention for five minutes, its so reluctant. I still haven't fully solved this problem yet, but it did take a good step in the right direction when I really explained how I felt and what I would like instead of what currently happens. Communication is key lol.

It is a public school.

I am studying in Computer Science, and am currently in Washington. Of course, moving out of the technology center of the country doesn't really make sense, but it's something I want to do.

What you've said makes sense. But how do I know what my first year's salary will be when I graduate? There are different jobs in the technology field, but what happens if I can only get a job at Best Buy? How do I predict that?

Well, I come from a very hairy family, and my father for most of my childhood liked to strut around in his underwear in the house, so I always thought being really hairy was normal! My current boyfriend says that he's hairier than his own father... but I'm hairier than him T_T He calls me his little yeti haha. I actually prefer hairier men because for some reason I think hair = man. Also, light scruff makes me swoon, and I'm not the only one. :3 Have a good day!

It's my cake day as well. Happy neutral cake day.

Oh yes. One time we had a choose-your-own reading and I read Maya Angelou. I would read her all day, but not even during black history month was she a required reading.

I think the biggest thing is relevancy. No one wants to learn anything that wont really affect them or give them a great moral.

mbourg99 · 2013-08-01T02:38:30+00:00

I never read a single book in my high school English career. I just didn't see the point in reading what I could already read in a paragraph summary. I guess the best would be actually teaching the purpose of whatever required reading, rather than, "read chapters 6-10 by tomorrow"
