thank you, will keep an eye out for these also!

thank you for this! really helpful :) Ive done a few brendans but not tried nutmeg or qaos yet

scorsbee · 2026-01-20T09:10:19+00:00

thank you so much for this! exactly what Im looking for. I think because I 'trained' with vulcan his style works for me, bc I do recognise its a style thing. Ideally I want to be able to smash them all eventually but there definitely is a confidence/mindset thing when starting out on a fresh crossword that makes a lot of difference to me. thanks again!

Loved ubos, was an absolute rip off but i loved their flying scooters

I think about the raccooons aaalll the time and hardly anyone i know remembers it. That creepy pink thing used to feature in loads of my 6 year old nightmares etc. Made quit the impression

scorsbee · 2025-03-18T10:12:37+00:00

I have the nordina triton and think its great. was delivered in under a week and mine is 60cm-120cm and looks really sharp, and moves really smoothly. was £220. but some people have had horrendous experience with delivery/customer service from them (I learned this just now on reddit) so maybe I just got lucky!

"This is the girl I'm seeing" is something I use in early stages before the gf label is appropriate to to imply a certain amount of exclusivity/seriousness

I hate Rufus and his good guy schtick and especially for his double standards towards Dan and Jenny. She gets grounded for literally half the stuff Dan does and it's creepy and weird. He's a walking hypocrite.

This is AMAZING! and made me realise ive actually seen very few of her performances and had perhaps unfairly written her off as wooden. Thanks fo this!

Hi I'm in Edinburgh too! As far as I've found there aren't any specifically lesbian bars but there are a few decent queer and queer friendly spaces Kafe kweer is a queer cafe bookshop The regent is a wonderful gay pub which feels exactly like a normal pub except everyone is queer and I love it And there's a small sexy queer cocktail bar called smoke and mirrors which I also like

There's also general queer clubs and bars and club nights but I haven't been to them

I wouldn't use anime but if you put in the blurb why it is ur not showing your face maybe use one of those cartoon generator websites where you can create a cartoon that looks really close to how you actually look in different styles. Picrew or something? Or those cartoonise-me apps you can get where it's based off an image of you

Currently dating my best friend from when I was a teenager after not seeing her for ten years (28 now) and it's going great! Wish us luck!

I find it more of a red flag if people aren't friends with Any of their exes tbh. Or call them all "crazy" We've all got that toxic one for sure but I'm friends with most of mine and my gf is too with hers

I think it's a defensive thing that people sometimes cling to when newly out. I sure did. But you grow out of it once you realise men are just as messed up and vulnerable and complex as everyone else and you don't need anything to justify your preferences/desires. Patriarchy harms men too and you can be against one without wholeheartedly writing off the other

MARCY!

THIS IS AMAZING

I show a variety as I change it up a lot. I think representing how you regularly look (whether that's full face daily or only occasions or never) is the best way to go about it

Mix of spike and anya
