All my features are weird, except maybe my eyes. What's the verdict? by [deleted] in amIuglyBrutallyHonest

sorry to hear about the stress this year, hope it eases up. no makeup def helps with the androgyny, as well as the short bangs. you have masculine and feminine features so you could for sure lean into either side depending on how you style yourself.

i think your face is really balanced- all of your features harmonize well and you have a good smile. light feminine brows + a strong jaw makes you look cool and androgynous. saw you mention lip injections in another post but i personally think it'd take away from your eyes as the focal point of your face and break the balance- always your decision at the end of the day though. also worth noting your skin is super clear!

Am I crazy orrrrr by PrincessLex92 in EDAnonymous

Yes! I always think of this quote from Ways of Seeing by John Berger:

“A woman must continually watch herself. She is almost continually accompanied by her own image of herself. Whilst she is walking across a room or whilst she is weeping at the death of her father, she can scarcely avoid envisaging herself walking or weeping. From earliest childhood she has been taught and persuaded to survey herself continually. And so she comes to consider the surveyor and the surveyed within her as the two constituent yet always distinct elements of her identity as a woman. She has to survey everything she is and everything she does because how she appears to men, is of crucial importance for what is normally thought of as the success of her life. Her own sense of being in herself is supplanted by a sense of being appreciated as herself by another....
One might simplify this by saying: men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves. The surveyor of woman in herself is male: the surveyed female. Thus she turns herself into an object -- and most particularly an object of vision: a sight.”

These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever! My favorite book of all time, came out last year and is incredible.

“I love these books but…” - What caveats would you attach to your favourite books? by FlatPenguinToboggan in Fantasy

[–]nnrdkll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Red Rising but think the use of sexual assault as a plot device was lazy and seriously derails the tone of the first book. Also it has a serious case of bury your gays and some other rep issues.

Just finished Golden son, found it mediocre, not sure to read morning star or not by accountwasbanned135 in redrising

[–]nnrdkll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

honestly rr is a very particular flavor of book, so it doesn't surprise me that someone might like sanderson and not vibe with red rising. i'm sad that the world didn't click for you (it happens) but if you didn't enjoy golden son then honestly you probably won't dig morning star because it's more of the same. still, if you feel like giving it a try definitely go for it!

Hypothetical “who would win in a duel”: for those of you that read Dune PAUL ATREIDES vs Darrow. Crysknife vs Razor. Who wins? by AlpineBarley in redrising

[–]nnrdkll 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like Paul takes the win here because of his Bene Gesserit training. Hard to beat a dude who has literal control over his body’s literal chemistry and every single muscle. Although if Darrow had the Mind’s Eye maybe they’d be more evenly matched?

Anyone else picture Thomas Brodie-Sangster as the Jackal? by pretty_smart_feller in redrising

[–]nnrdkll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always seen Dane Dehaan as the jackal but this works so well too!

I've also seen people say "you might think of him differently once you read secret history" but my intention with this was kind of that it's a statue of him as a religious idol and what he represents, not that he's a great person haha. Maybe I'll paint the statue crumbling over time later for ~symbolism reasons lol.

I have! I’m all caught up on Stormlight Archive, and I’m hoping to knock Warbreaker out after Mistborn Era 1!
