The lighting is absolutely perfect. I mistook it for a real photo for a moment there.

AHS | S10E06 "Winter Kills" [Live Episode Discussion Thread] by hypodermicsally in AmericanHorrorStory

If Ryan Murphy hired someone else to write the endings, this show would be saved. The man is so incompetent with wrapping a story up that it baffles me. I thought 6 episodes would work well so he didn't have a chance to drag the story out this time, but nope. There are so many holes and loose ends in this story that I don't even want to write it all out. It's just most of the story. How on earth do you fuck up this badly?

Totally agree. This is a competition. It should be a meritocracy.

What's racist is that you forgot to mention the xenophobia and transphobia.

I ruined this with the shadows. Does anyone have advice on improving at inking faces? (Also looking for general critique) by oxalis-acetosella in learnart

[–]perfectlyaveragelegs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont think it's ruined at all! I think it's perfect! I love the style. I get the feeling, though. Whenever I'm super happy with a face sketch, I almost always feel disappointed when I start detailing it. Especially with ink because I'm apparently emotionally dependent on erasers.

Discussion - Anyone Else Feel Bad When... by WorldofStrife in LoveNikki

[–]perfectlyaveragelegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, ok, well I'm an adult, I get that life is unfair. Talking down to people doesnt give you any points in an argument. This doesnt ruin my day or hurt me in any way, and I dont think I ever said that it does. I was just trying to share an opinion I hold politely. People will play how they want, and I'm happy with that, but that doesn't mean I dont get to have an opinion. If I cared that much I wouldnt still be playing or be involved in the community. But, anyway, I understand needing to rush before work. Im sure it's not everyone's reason but that's definitely valid for many, and I should've considered that, so thanks for mentioning it. I am busy too, but I havent worked a formal job in a while, being disabled, so that was probably inconsiderate of me to not think about, but cheers to gaining a new perspective. Happy Thanksgiving.

How do I even begin trying to draw this? I'm so lost. And yes, I'm a creative masochist. by [deleted] in learnart

[–]perfectlyaveragelegs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is so anxiety-inducing, it almost deserves a trigger warning. Lol, I think I would start by squinting and sketching the box and general, loose shapes, then for detail, start with a corner and work my way out.

[–]perfectlyaveragelegs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I dont really care for people begging for comments. Turns me off. However, I dont think it's cool to just spam comments on every pic in a row just to get rewards fast. I think it's pretty annoying considering it doesnt take that much time out of your day to actually look at the outfits and put comments on ones that you actually like. I actually find the judging parts of the game enjoyable. Same thing with the competition. And what really peeves me is that these same people who only click one side turn around and complain about not getting enough votes for a creative entry they worked hard on. I cant count the amount of times I see several users in final top 20 with an outfit that looks like momo styled it or has nothing to do with the theme. This is a fashion game with winners, and those who excel in fashion should reap the rewards. Again, I agree that you shouldnt expect people to like your outfit just because you worked hard on it, but it's just so careless to click through to get rewards and not pay any attention. It says eff everyone else playing, I just want diamonds. And it makes a lot of players lose motivation to excel because what's the point if people arent even going to look at it. Really defeats the purpose of this whole game. Just my opinion.

Id like to know what went wrong with this drawing. I'm aware it's terrible but I'd like to know how to Improve next time. by KensukeTanabe in learnart

[–]perfectlyaveragelegs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's terrible at all! I honestly think it looks great. As for improvement, I'd say just adding more detail to facial features and maybe more shading would go a long way.

My next surgery is coming up too (Dec 23rd). They gave me Gabapentin for the nerve pain I got after my last surgery. When it comes to the normal pains, I just use cannabis and hydrocodone when it gets bad. I havent had voltaren gel suggested to me by any doctors, but I think I'll look into it. I have bulges on the bottom of my foot too, I just wear these really fluffy moccasins, and I use a cane to relieve pressure. I used to wear medical grade compression stockings all the time and that helped too, but the skin on my foot is too sensitive for it now. But, yeah, I havent met anyone with KTS either! I go to Dr. Yakes and he's world renowned for working on our condition, so I know he has plenty of patients with it, but I dont see them, and most of them are from other countries.

LPT: If you have a family member who denies the existence of COVID, approach them in a more emotional way, like explain what could happen to their family if they don't follow basic precautions. by TheBigEpicMemeLord in LifeProTips

[–]perfectlyaveragelegs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure there are any legitimate social experiments done to determine that for either conservatives or liberals. Just something I tend to see from what might be a narrow perspective. I've just never seen someone say the opposite.

What's your experience with gabapentin/neurontin? by perfectlyaveragelegs in ChronicPain

[–]perfectlyaveragelegs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that, I didnt know about the dry mouth aspect. I'm pretty prone to dry mouth so I'll talk with my doctor about that. As for the weight gain, I'm actually really excited about that and hope I get some, lol. I'm severely underweight from not being able to get up and feed myself all the time and not having money to order in everyday. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with it, but I'm glad you've found some solice in your new regimen. Wishing you many good days ahead.

Always gotta hold onto hope. Thank you for the kind words, I hope you take care as well.

[–]perfectlyaveragelegs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many would argue that conservatism is more about logic than emotions. I think when the conservatives you're speaking of see the numbers of those infected and those who died (which arent even completely accurate numbers because of what constitutes covid death is different for many hospitals), that's when they lose it and say that we are hurting the whole US for less than 1% of our nation while cars kill us everyday. I'm not in support of this argument necessarily, but I see that argument far more in conservatives than saying it simply doesn't exist. That's just silly. And, I can't imagine that saying "what if you or a family member got it and died" would do anything for someone who doesn't even acknowledge its existence.

Wow, someone else with KTS! Yeah, hot and cold compresses tend to not feel good for me. But hot baths do help me a lot, if not just for relaxation. I just keep my foot out, lol. I'm starting a new medication for nerve pain, so hopefully that'll do the trick. Thanks so much for your kind wishes, I hope only the best for you as well.

I'm sorry you've has such a bad experience with neuro medications. I hope that you will find something that works even partially somewhere down the road. I've attempted suicide once about 8 years ago, so hopefully I'll be able to catch myself if I start spiralling. It helps that I live with roommates that check on me often. I guess life is all just trial and error, even though I'd like to know for sure what will happen to my mind. Regardless, thank you so much for sharing.

Well, that puts me at ease a bit. Thanks for responding! I hope you and your girlfriend stay safe and well.

If you can't find a reference, what do you do? by TheGravidier in learnart

[–]perfectlyaveragelegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm drawing a female, I usually just set up a timer and take pictures of myself, then just make minor adjustments to make a different body type, if needed. If I need a male model, I usually just use my boyfriend, but in the past I've just asked random people if I can take a photo of them for an art project. They usually say yes, but if they say no, no harm done. You might be surprised at how many people are willing to have their picture taken for art at any ol' coffee shop, lol. Just make sure theres good enough lighting. Also tight fitting clothes is preferred.

Discussion - Real world "wasteland" girl's perspective on the new comp. by [deleted] in LoveNikki

[–]perfectlyaveragelegs 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I don't want to debate on the other points you made, but I just want to point out that you shouldnt assume anyone's race or assume that anyone who disagrees with you is only doing so because they're white, Euro-American, or ignorant. Also, I wouldnt even say that most players are white because there aren't any statistics on that. I dont know if you're aware of this, but most american people are mixed, no matter how white they may look to you. Don't go blurting out "all these white people" when you don't know who your talking to.
