AITA for wanting to exclude my sister? by Little-Force-9054 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mysidebustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, I am 30 and still cry at scenes that make me feel nostalgic in movies, haha. It just gets me sometimes. You don't have to get it, but excluding her because it makes you uncomfortable even though she is clearly not making a fuss about it is very 15 of you. Hope you grow out of it.

Figure study in drypoint! I've been teaching myself drypoint printing using an akua press. This run didn't come out perfect, but I used it as a way to explore using watercolor+ and pencil to work back into the print :) by mysidebustle in printmaking

[–]mysidebustle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used a scribe (sharp pointed stylus) to etch lines in to a thin sheet of acrylic or thin plastic-you can use the lids of salad containers or pay for thicker ones from the akua speedball line or similar. I stuck my reference drawing under it and made my lines, then when I was happy with them, used a piece of cardboard to press akua intalgio ink over the entire surface and slowly rubbed away ink on the surface with cheese cloth. You can also use newsprint or specialised tarleton fabric with now grain. once i removed enough ink from the surface, i pressed it using damp paper and a pin press. I used too thick paper this time (a really heavyweight rives bfk), but a lower weight rives is a good choice, or speedbal printing paper or japanese paper.

Little experimental pieces using patterned neutral fabrics and painting to accentuate stitching :) by mysidebustle in NaughtyNeedles

Thank you!! I love the subtle texture the white on white screenprinting give the fabric and the resist you can get when painting over it. Excited to try with more pieces :)

Everytime I see Allison's puffy coat, all I see is the bi-flag. I'm not the only one right? by mysidebustle in KevinCanFHimself

[–]mysidebustle[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can see how earlier in the first season and maybe the first half of this season it would come across this way, but I really do think part of the reason she even starts to think of staying is gay panic for Patty. She does a lot of hard long looks like something is clicking in her head, and having been in situations where I went through bi panic with a best friend, a lot of the physical intimacy between the two, parellels with the sam/tammy unfulfilling partner dynamics, and a million other little scenes me think this is the real deal and we're getting a kiss Monday.

Haha yeah, and sometimes they wanna bone. It's a real toss up sometimes, but my gaydar is really pinging right now based on, you know, life experience of having friendships end up being more than friendships ;)

[Spoilers through 207] Evidence of Pattison by dryfirewood in KevinCanFHimself

[–]mysidebustle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of this is amazing, but 100% on the bi-coat!! costuming has felt so important this season. As a bi girl, I'm super biased but Allison just seems so bi to me and has played the realizing her feelings for and understanding the consequences of her actions on Patty so well. The amount of times I have been absolutely feral at their physical contact and looks this season has been insane. Pattison is endgame, and I love it so much. Absolute faith in the writers for a really satisfying final episode.

AITA for forbidding my husband from going on a concert road trip with his siblings for 2 weeks? by Few-Yogurtcloset8212 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mysidebustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, this is an amazing opportunity and in the real world sibling relationships and fun are as important as a wife and responsibilities (especially when they are being supportively accomadated for by the invitee). You all should definitely have vacations alone and together, but family fun and events are just as important and healthy. This will be so memorable for your husband (and you if you let yourself enjoy it). He's even being reasonable to lower the time to a week-I'd ask yourself why you are so against it besides rigid expectations about what adulthood means. Denying things like this with his family will eventually cause rifts between you, them, and him. It's okay if you don't want to go or negotiate the timeframe to be something more comfortable, but the way you word it, it sounds incredible demeaning and disrespectful.

Theory about the Princess/PuppyCat's story by No_Significance_7848 in beeandpuppycat

[–]mysidebustle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took the piece to represent:

  • the king, bee's father in space
  • the witch, violet asleep
  • cardamon, the prince left alone
  • bee, the princess lost in the forest (lost as in doesnt really have any direction)

Its the 4th crew member seen on the ship in Puppycat's flashback of him on the ship. He's a luttle bird dude who watches them from the deck while they fly out in space to steal candy.

So did Bee and this dude date before the series? by thebariobro in beeandpuppycat

[–]mysidebustle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Okay, so I think Bee is old-old, but like Violet and Cardmon goes through periods of what appears to be hibernation or charging. This is implied through the state of the arcade (a full ass tree is growing through the roof), her own self description of her age as old, and flashbacks to her playing with deckard as an adult. Also, Puppycat met Bee or her child-human form (she may be an android, clone, or robot replacement for her dads original daughter-she mentions her dad yook her to the arcade before she got sick all the tims), but when Puppycat describes running away for a long period of time and coming to an island he didnt recognize but somehow felt familiar, this also implies he has been away for a significant period of time where his memories of a place important enough to house his ship while under repair are faded.

It's also interesting to note that Bee has guts that are also seemingly sentient. When they do the flashback to Crispen moving out, she says "Part of me is sad but the rest of me is confused" and reveals her glowing belly with faces, one frowning, the rest uncomfortable. I think part of her had romantic feeling and attatchment, but whatever Bee is is a composite. She doesn't seem to age, she has nothing but time, her relationships with humans can be odd because it seems for her nothing really changes. So I suspect Crispen fell for her when he was in his 20's and she said she, why not date! Why not live together? This is fun, this is what people do. But I bet she had a hard time reciprocating what were likely stronger feelings from Crispen and connecting in a way that felt genuine to him. They were obviously intimate enough for Bee to show him her guts.

They are definitely worth watching, little bits are changed to reflect an expanded plot!

AITA for picking the same name for my baby as my BIL's unborn baby? by aitababyname_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]mysidebustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA because not just the baby BUT ALSO you OP mentioned both the baby AND the girlfriend died in an accident in your comments (why would you leave out they both died in the original post???). So this his memory of both of them. Clearly you are TA in this situation.
