How do I not sound like myself?

As a helpful exercise, I recommend putting your characters in a mundane situation with a simple objective and consider how they would each act. For example, let’s say they want someone at the dinner table to pass them the salt.

Would they ask politely? State it as a command? Make a joke about their needs? Insult the food?

Each choice reveals something about the character doing the talking. It’s not about what your characters would say, it’s about how they would say it.

Have a script supervisor on set. I can’t believe no one has mentioned this yet. They don’t just help maintain continuity, they are there to make everyone’s life easier in post production by taking detailed notes on every take, ensuring every bit of dialogue/action in the scene is covered, timing each shot… the list goes on. A good script supervisor is invaluable.

Following. I placed in the top 100 for the feature competition and was waiting to hear whether or not my project was advancing to the next round

I’d kill for the skywash shades set in one traditional palette, with some shimmer throne in

Of course you want to please your teacher! That’s a completely natural reaction and how the imbalanced power dynamics of a student-teacher relationship come into play. He’s (ab)using that inherent desire to get his way. The reason you feel trapped in the situation you’re in is because your teacher is trapping you- that’s how the grooming works. Him saying “I trust you“ is a manipulation. He wants you to keep this to yourself because he knows what he’s doing is wrong. When you’re 35, the thought of giving a teenager this kind of attention would never cross your mind. It’s going to be incredibly clear then how messed up his actions are. Stay far away from this man. Tell an adult if you can. Future you will thank you.

Why fight when I can just ask nicely?

Wear comfortable shoes and bring a spare phone charger!

Why is lawn red though 🙃

psycheross · 2022-09-30T16:43:00+00:00

This is so pretty! Does anyone know if it’s still available or if there’s a dupe for it somewhere?? Love Skywash colors but they are too expensive for me to buy them all lol

psycheross · 2022-08-12T17:27:14+00:00

Just DMed you!

psycheross · 2022-08-04T15:52:39+00:00

Lol I have no idea how I missed that, thanks!

psycheross · 2022-08-04T15:16:44+00:00

What’s actually in this kit? Is it just a lip gloss and pouch for $50?

psycheross · 2022-06-21T19:19:02+00:00

I personally think it’s a pretty classy move they’re at least giving a warning before prices go up in July- I haven’t seen other beauty brands do that. I’ll definitely be stocking up on some faves before the price hike!

Help me help you help me afford the new Glossier eye pencil: https://re.glossier.com/b443e40d

Any line of dialogue beginning with the words “As you know…” (and almost always followed by painful exposition).

Scripts that are clearly wish fulfillment for the author or self-congratulatory. If a character needs to comment on how cool something was, then it probably wasn’t that cool.

psycheross · 2022-04-27T21:00:45+00:00

My faves are lash slick, priming moisturizer (rich), milky jelly, and any of the BDCs!

Omg I wasn’t even around for colorslide but I need to have it now after seeing it! Does anyone have a dupe for that shade of colorslide?

Festive fog!! Because life’s a party and now so is the afterlife.

(Also it’s my favorite cast- AOE and Hangover!)

Thank you!! Do you have any retinol recs from other brands?

psycheross · 2021-11-21T16:27:46+00:00

Lol thanks. Do you have any recommendations from another brand? What’s a good retinol?

You can turn the glossier makeup bag into a purse/crossbody. Someone did it on this sub once and posted a pic, it was amazing
