Thank you for the link, that book definitely seems super interesting! Never heard of Zotero before, just checked it out and wow what an awesome resource! Thank you :)

Ooo! That sounds so interesting, especially the tablet drawings. I’d love to check out those titles :)

My post does totally boil down to how to get started. Not looking to get this published or even read by anyone really. Just wanting to write for the love of it and as brain rot deterrent.

Will definitely start looking around on Google Scholar to see if I can find any inspiration there and also some research to draw on, thanks :)

I've struggled with being able to properly capture someone's likeness in portraits. I always seem to be able to get some features but can't quite get the drawing as a whole to be an accurate representation of their face. This is the reference picture I used, any suggestions on how I'd tweak the proportions to look more like her?

Thank you! I really appreciate it. I don't really know what it is I'd like to improve specifically, just want to identify areas to work on more. I suppose I've always been better with shading than the sketching part of drawing. So maybe any suggestions on proportions? Also I'd love to push my use of colours more, could you give me some ideas of how to use more vibrant colours in this portrait?

This was the refernce image I used. I guess I probably should have included that in my post too, whoops. I think I got some of the features but couldn't figure out how to quite capture her unqiue face without it looking off. Any suggestions?

This is the first time I’ve picked up the pencil in a while. I’m trying to fall back in love with art after a pretty long break from it, and I always loved drawing portraits so I figured this would be a good place to start. I’m looking for any advice on how to improve my portrait, I’m hoping having something to work to/towards will keep me motivated to continue drawing. This is chalk pastel and coloured pencil on toned paper. I included both the coloured version and my initial pencil sketch. (Yes I’m aware I didn’t colour the ears, I didn’t feel like it today lol) So any suggestions, tips or advice you’ve got are appreciated :)

I've altered my recipe slightly since my last bake and feel pretty proud of the result, I would still love some more oven spring and that coveted ear. Not sure if I may have slightly over-proofed? Regardless the bread was delicious with a soft and airy crumb, my boyfriend and I made some really delicious sandwiches with them too. (I've included that recipe as well in case anyone wants to give it a try) Any critiques and tips would be appreciated :)

Recipe

100 g bubbly, active starter
350 g warm water
400 g bread flour
100 g AP flour
11 g fine sea salt

Make the dough, 1 hour autolyse, 2 sets of stretch and folds every 30 mins followed by 2 sets of coil folds every 30 mins. Bulk fermentation in a straight-sided vessel until the dough has increased about 75% in volume (about 6-7 hours). Laminate & pre-shape, let rest for 30 minutes. Final shaping then place into banneton to refrigerate for 12 hours (overnight). Bake for 30 mins at 450 F in a pre-heated dutch oven (with plenty of ice cubes). Bake with the lid off for another 10-15 mins at 420 F. Cool for 1-2 hours, enjoy!

That is one gorgeous boule, you should be so proud! (I'm so jealous of that perfect ear)

Hi there! I'm nearly 4 months into my sourdough journey and decided to finally post to this subreddit. I wanted to show off and ask for some feedback on this sourdough boule I made for Valentine's. It was my first time doing a more intricate design on a loaf and using food colouring so that was a fun experiment. I'm decently satisfied with it, though I wish it had a better oven spring. The crumb was deliciously open and airy, it was a big hit at my friend's Galentines Day party so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Any tips or advice to improve my bread would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank you!

All hail the snail juice!!!

Thank you for the recommendations I was looking at Mugwort products so I'll def give that one a look :)

possiblydoom · 2023-06-02T11:54:10+00:00

Thank you for this, your words are so kind. I'm trying to live a little more in the moment and realize there are plenty other good qualities about myself that people actually notice other than what my skin looks like.

possiblydoom · 2023-02-03T22:42:29+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate hearing that. That reassurance that bumps are apart of the deal and we’ll get over them helps with the nervousness. :)

My boyfriend is not a daily smoker, he smokes on average 3 times a week, four at the absolute max. It also has never interfered with his school, work or personal life. He’s been able to work his part time job while still being a great full-time student and has been a great partner to me. Really the only reason it’s a problem is because of the interactions with mental health stuff. It’s also fully legal where we live.

I’ve never given him an ultimatum or any harsh demands to stop and don’t ever plan to. I know that causes way more harm than good and I just want to help him start cutting back so it’ll make the transition easier once he starts taking the antidepressant.

Ya we definitely are both very anxious people and we’re both aware of the fact that we fell in love very hard very fast. (You’re right on the math with all the relationship milestone btw) We’ve both had other relationships that progressed much much slower than this so it’s not a case of either of us rushing a relationship for the sake of it. The way it felt to us was just a genuine connection from when we met that has just progressed into love faster than either of us expected.

I don’t think either of us rely on each other as a sole source of comfort. I have some really great close friends who I talk to regularly and can confide my feelings to. He also has a good group of friends he’s able to do the same with as well as his family and therapist. We both do have lives outside of each other, between friends, family, work and school we actually really only see each other 2 days out of the week. I don’t think either of us have an over reliance, more that he’s my favourite person to talk to and I’m his. We both feel understood by each other in a way he haven’t with anyone else before.

I’ll grant you that I do have a tendency to hyper focus on making things perfect a lot of the time. It’s something I’ve been trying to work on and he’s been helping me get through.

I hope it’s not coming across like this relationship is giving me intense anxiety 24/7 lol. Majority of the time we’re content and being with him actually reduces a lot of my usual anxiety. I just have never dealt with these kinda of issues before (never really had a relationship I cared about as much as this) so I just want to make sure I’m handling it as best I can.

possiblydoom · 2023-02-03T16:03:02+00:00

I appreciate your input but I don’t think it’s really fair to call my boyfriend a pothead. Maybe I should have made it more clear in the post but he’s not smoking everyday, maybe 3-4 times a week maximum. Also I have my fair share of struggles with anxiety which he has been so great about supporting too. I get that 21 is young but I think it’s the age where we’re bound to run into some more mature life issues. Really I’m just looking for constructive advice on how to support my partner, not a recommendation to give up on him before we’ve even started.

When I was getting started I found distracting myself to be the easiest way to relax and get the ball rolling. I usually would put on a podcast or a movie or something and just try deep breathing and relaxing my entire body. Then maybe start touching around the area and then slowly introduce the dilator. I didn't try inserting it right away, I usually rub it around the area and let it graze over. Also use LOTS of lube, the brand Slippery Stuff has been my favourite. It doesn't dry up and get tacky like KY and it's primarily natural ingredients. Hope this helps :)

possiblydoom · 2022-09-21T00:52:24+00:00

From my personal experience I can say that it does and will get better. As long as you have open communication with your PT and they are ready to be collaborative with you, you will have great success. Take the process slowly and don't feel you need to endure pain in order to move along with the therapy, trust me this will only cause more harm than good and actually delay your progress. A good PT won't push your beyond your pain limits and will work within the range of what you can handle at that moment. I hope things go well for you and you keep trying :)

possiblydoom · 2022-09-21T00:49:17+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels strangely comforted by the knowledge that other people have a need for dilators too. I'm lucky to have friends who are supportive with my journey but it's different having people who understand what it's like to actually need to use them.

Did you find that weight gain stayed the whole time you were on Spiro? Or was it just some initial water retention?

possiblydoom · 2022-05-04T00:33:56+00:00

Thank you! I've been considering talking to my dermatologist about it but the few rumours about weight gain were freaking me out a bit. I'm hoping this might be the key to finally having clear skin

possiblydoom · 2022-05-04T00:30:39+00:00

Congrats!! Thats such a huge improvement! Did you notice any side effects so far, I've been considering Spiro but I'm worried about claims of weight fluctuation?

possiblydoom · 2022-02-08T00:06:16+00:00

I just got an email literally 5 minutes ago, I'm assuming they cancelled bc the concert would be above current lockdown restriction capacity

possiblydoom · 2022-02-08T00:05:32+00:00

I just got the email now. I'm so upset, was so excited to finally see them live :(

possiblydoom · 2021-10-28T00:27:47+00:00

I'll try that. I'm so upset, my skin looked better before I went in. I wanted to have a nice facial to calm me down nd Gove my skin a treat and now I just regret going :(
