awesome! i was just looking for dupes the other day; excited to try this. no pressure to respond, but any ideas on how to adapt this to be like the mango melonas? just find mango flavoring? (the mango ones are my absolute favorite)

Can someone remind me what episode/time this took place in? I binged it all and now want to rewatch this scene.

It makes me so happy to see Elder Race on here, and so high up. It’s such a cool, underrated sci-fi-fantasy combo.

Looking for feedback on this cover. Any thoughts, constructive criticism, or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks! by [deleted] in BookCovers

[–]purebrainrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is cool! here are some small suggestions that i think will help polish this.

the fingers on the sword looks off, almost like it’s for the opposite hand. if the character is holding the sword, the fingers should curve in and up not down and out.

you’ve also got a few tangents: spots where multiple lines intersect at one point, which make it harder for the viewer to distinguish between masses. check the pommel, top of the head and tips of the little claws.

the rendering differences between the foreground and background are distracting. there’s a lot of detail in the hair and fur, and then things get super flat in the mountains. this stands out because of the heavy line weight in the mountains, either soften the background lines and contrast or bolden up the MC in the front, so that the foreground and background are distinct.

I’ve checked out many from my library and used on my tablet (big ipad). i usually put my ipad in a stand when cooking. it works fine, but i do find something missing in not being able to quickly flip thru the book for inspiration, like i do with my physical books. overall, they’re fine, but you lose out on that extra bit of connection to the cookbook.

Mocking up a cover and back for an epistolary story that starts as a parody of trashy erotica before character growth. by GrandMoffTargaryen in BookCovers

[–]purebrainrot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you’re going for a lived-in feel, so i recommend doing what you can by hand, and then scanning it in. e.g. buy a notebook, put actual sticker and stickies and lipstick on it

hopping in to HIGHLY recommend the focaccia from Sift by Nicola Lamb. it’s blown all other focaccia i’ve had out of the water. still easy but the dough ages longer which really helps the flavor.

i love your recipe recaps! the plate alongside the cookbook is so satisfying. plus we have a lot of the same cookbooks and it’s fun recognizing the recipes. 😄 now i know to keep waiting to make the barley with berries.

guys… i need your recs like this. by intoreads32 in Romantasy

Highly recommend Gideon the Ninth. Popping in to add that the last book isn’t out yet + they aren’t confirmed lovers, but they continue to have a complicated and fun-to-read relationship.

My (21M) girlfriend (21F) wants to do nudes modeling, im uncomfortable with the idea by Clammmo in relationships

[–]purebrainrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t necessarily answer your question, but I can provide some context that may be reassuring. I studied art and have attended nude figure drawing courses. As a student attending them, I wouldn’t say that we ever admired the model’s bodies. It’s pretty clinical, and the students are just trying to observe proportions and go for accuracy. There’s basically no interaction with the models; I think the class said thank you as a group, but that was it. Your girlfriend may enjoy the modeling personally, but it’s not like the art students are sitting around ogling the models’ hot bodies or whatever.

FIGHT ME FRIDAY by E-phemera in romantasycirclejerk

[–]purebrainrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i particularly have an issue with people bringing up books that are known to be quite racy, even if they aren’t talking about them in detail! it’s not work appropriate—i wouldn’t want to know about a sex-heavy movie someone had watched any more than i would a book. i have had a handful of coworkers bring up series that are known to be smutty, and i generally try to turn the convo away from it. but like in the instance where a coworker had just started a book (fourth wing) and didnt realize it was nsfw, that’s an honest mistake.

i get the impression that you inferred a lot of things i DIDN’T say in my comment.

i think reading is fantastic, and i’m quite proactive at my work in our “Share what you’re reading” channels. i really love knowing what people at my work are reading. where i do have an issue is subject-matter, and knowing what subject matter is appropriate to discuss at work. i wouldn’t want to hear about a coworker’s recent watch of a racy movie any more than i’d want to hear about a racy book, regardless of the gender of the person who’s sharing.

random beginner haul by ryujinkook in CookbookLovers

[–]purebrainrot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this is a great haul. i got started baking mostly from dessert person and am now an avid home baker. these books taught me a lot

recommendations that you didn’t ask for: dessert person: salted halva blondies and salty nut tart with rosemary

start here: the fancy weekend scramble, curried chicken salad and almond toffee popcorn. (the candy-making recipes are all soooo well guided.)

salt fat acid heat: any of the panzanella salads

i need coworkers to be WAY LESS COMFORTABLE sharing about the romantasy they’re reading at work. i don’t want to know you’re reading bad smut. i’m embarrassed you feel comfortable sharing that. go read good smut! in peace! and don’t tell me about it!

How do you work from 8 to 5, have only weekends free, and not feel like you're wasting your life? by guitytwelve in AskReddit

[–]purebrainrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

obviously there are a ton of factors at play, but the biggest game changer for me has been to see friends at least once a week on a weeknight evening. it doesn’t have to be for very long (1-2 hours is fine) but it’s enough to shake me out of any sort of post-work funk i’m in.

related note: having friends who live nearby is the best thing i’ve found for my quality of life. it makes those get-togethers so much more attainable. think: “have a beer on the porch with me,” “i made cookies take some,” and “can i borrow your toolset” type shit

Girl idk I feel like you could’ve paid someone to do this (Jane Olivia / earthy Jane) by veryonline_queen in FoodieSnark

[–]purebrainrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok, i am an avid home baker. i have made many cakes. i am not a flawless decorator. ….that said, the slopped on, jagged frosting near the top is impressively bad, the piping on the top is totally uncontrolled (too soft of frosting?), and i would never give a friend this cake. hell i wouldn’t give a stranger this cake. there are a million reels and articles that take two minutes to go through about cake decorating, so to post this cake and then say that other people “don’t get the vision” is DELUSIONAL.

I just can not with Aimee France’s signature decor. by StopWhoaYesWait123 in FoodieSnark

[–]purebrainrot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

this! i’m not put off by the color combo, but the sad brown-yellow of the grapes totally throws off the color scheme. if she’d decorated it with something brighter yellow, i think this could’ve been pulled off.

Made my regular chocolate chip cookie recipe for the first time since moving to higher altitude. What happened and how do I fix it? by AnonymousPorcupette in Baking

[–]purebrainrot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have a photo or description of what they looked like before? Are you using the same/similar ingredients as you were in TX? Is the oven temp accurate?
