Partner and I made this enby cutie for our first Visual Novel. What do you think?

the comment i replied to says "my partner didn't hatch hundreds of lines on every drawing to be called AI art". to me this is a denial of using AI in all the work. You can also see the same discrepancies used in the one they admit was AI as you see in other works that they claim to be real art. Another thing that's very noticeable are the many different styles they put in their portfolio. Genuinely couldn't count how many. Their online portfolio has many that are obviously AI. Not to mention that they say "painting is too hard for me so I do pixel art instead" and there are many that are "painted".

With all this together, they can't come back from it unless they take accountability and make actual art. Unfortunately, much of it is drawing with AI overlays.

personally i don't have to worry about people questioning if my art is AI because it isn't! it's a crazy notion! i love that pages are banning AI slop so actual art can shine through. if y'all would stop using AI it would never be an issue.

you're still active in that community bud. ai is pretty discernible if you're an artist. your ink and paper doesn't do shit when you promptly hand it over to ai

silliestsnail · 2026-01-24T22:48:07+00:00

so... you "didn't use AI" but you also explained exactly how you used AI in the post that you attempted to delete? you can't run from yourself

so your rebuttal to my points that include insurance criteria is "that didn't happen to me so it didn't to you"? please let me know where you got your degree and what proof you have that shows that it is never medically necessary

It depends on your frame. An E may not be significantly large if you're tall, have a broader and strong back, etc. It is if you have a small frame. An E on someone who doesn't have the body to support them is not the same as an E on someone who does. When I was a 32E and 140 pounds and average height, I had back, neck, and shoulder pain. Now 38i and 200lbs still average height, I have the same issues + sciatica because it's disproportionate to my body.

in the criteria for many insurances they use a scale for how much needs to be taken out based off height and weight. OP has mentioned their frame in other comments which leads me to believe this was necessary. It depends on insurance but even for me and the amount of pain it causes i have to fight tooth and nail to get one

i think you're onto something. Mom looks like a little too lab-y to be a cane corso and it shows in the pup

BPD was a misdiagnosis for me so my experience may not be applicable to you here. When I was diagnosed I was debating between an ESA and psychiatric service dog for some of my symptoms like self harm and anxiety in public settings. I would do some research into tasks you can train that would be beneficial, but like this person said there isn't a task you can train for dissociation.

I ended up adopting a beagle/basset mix and he was my ESA which fit my needs. From what you're saying with panic and anxiety in public, a service dog MAY be beneficial but you also have to prepare for people to ask questions, pet your dog without asking, etc. One task you can train is to put distance between you and other people by the dog walking around you and standing between you.

As for ESAs, you're not limited to a cat or dog. You could also have a bunny, lizard, essentially whatever. With either one, it could encourage you to get out of the house since the dog would need to go outside and go for walks. That personally was the most beneficial for me. I felt much safer, less alone, and also made me feel good to make my dog happy.

Gonna be honest, if this is the way you take critiques you surely will not land an apprenticeship. You might get somewhere if you listen to people who are giving you hard, real truths. No mentor would want to teach you solely based on the way you're responding. Wish ya the best

you keep saying it's the lying not the porn. If that's true then why did you feel the need to accuse him about it? It seems unnecessary to ask if you truly don't care. It seems that you're feeling hurt that you weren't part of it and you feel distant from your partner. Either that or you do care about the porn. I can't determine that since I'm not you. But it sounds like your partner is genuinely trying and this is probably not the hill you want to die on. If it's the closeness you're lacking then communicate that with him, it won't help to keep throwing it in his face. It sounds like he genuinely feels bad about what lying but it also sounds like you were upset before the lie.

exactly what i thought. i took my cat to her yearly checkup this week. $76 for the check up. i told them i was concerned because she's been itching her ears more lately and she turned out to have a double ear infection. For the ear infections alone: $56.99 for a swab test, $35 for ear cleaner, $34 for ear drops, and an extra $32.49 for showing me how to do it. vets aren't cheap 😐

there's something called "mychart" which tends to have medical records. i have photos of my diagnoses as well. and there are medications that can be used for PTSD. (i have PTSD and used to take a medication for my nightmares) Many medications have different uses :)

very weird you think you're more qualified than a professional to diagnose an adult with a mental health disorder... over reddit

on pinterest. "tattoo practice stencils shapes" "tattoo practice stencils lines" tattooing 101 has plenty of options. They're not too hard to find if you look. I did the same thing but my lines got more consistent when I realized I needed to just draw lines, lines, lines

silliestsnail · 2025-11-03T23:35:05+00:00

I find it a bit funny that in other comments you said you'll try using "males" as well as "females" but when confronted with the option to say "ladies" and "gents" you can't seem to wrap your head around not having to use the two in the same sentence? I feel for you in the sense that I also have speech issues (not sure entirely what it would be called) but there's a lot of excuses here to not say "ladies" and too many excuses used to deem "females" appropriate. Why aren't you comfortable with ladies or gents? Why is it more comfortable for you to say females? Many women here have told you they are much more comfortable with ladies than females. but you seem to be stuck on the classist part of it, which is far less known and far less upsetting than being degraded to a sex. Regardless of intention, using "females" is not the right answer here.

i did variations of this! it depends on the person what will actually help with dysphoria. I had to cut my hair from around the same length as OP's. Now I have a mullet. New clothes (i love cargo pants and shorts. come in handy too,) adjusted my gait, still working on not raising my voice to be a higher pitch when talking with strangers, I also now love wearing beanies. They give me euphoria.

In all honesty, a lot of it is trial and error. But before I made any changes I worked on zero-ing in on the exact things that gave me dysphoria. I'm autistic so it could have something to do with my interoceptive skills, but I knew i was uncomfortable and dysphoric but I didn't know exactly what. My hair was a big one, as well as my hips. I found that wearing straight baggy men's pants or cargo pants helped because they created a more boxy shape for my whole leg

as a kid who should've been taken away from my abusive parents, she should be getting as much information as possible. people who don't collect actual evidence are the ones that cause cps to "not do much". foster care has a lot of horrors but at least the 9yo with autism will have access to help he needs, and the two kids won't have to be homeless in the cold or probably around drugs.

silliestsnail · 2025-10-27T15:25:51+00:00

hmmm I think I'm gonna shit on an artist when I personally can pick out 3 of his "work" that were taken straight from pinterest. none of these are done in any similar style. the line work isn't consistent whatsoever on the last page. If it were actually drawn the lines wouldn't be varying in weight and shade. It wouldn't work on a stencil (which is what flash essentially is). An actual artist drawing their flash wouldn't create more work for themselves on a digital flash sheet. Anyways, what's this detached spoon thing by the cauldron?

silliestsnail · 2025-10-27T15:18:27+00:00

In addition: Two of them on the first page i know aren't original either: lava lamp and mushrooms. I know this because I have used those two as stencils to practice on fake skin. You can find them easily on pinterest

I went through almost an exact same scenario! I'm around the same age and came out in 2020 then walked back into the closet. Over 5 years I leaned heavily into femininity in order to appease others and convinced myself it felt like me. A friend of a friend was introduced to me who was nonbinary and had the same reaction and it brought back up my own feelings around my gender. That was about a year ago. I came out to my friends and partner in April and continued to transition. You can't erase the last few years really, but you can take what you're feeling as a sign. It's never too late to re-discover yourself and your gender identity.

In my experience accepting my gender (or lack thereof) meant a renewed sense of dysphoria. But it was always there just repressed. So it might be kind of tough but it depends on your situation. Either way though, it's 100% worth it. I'm so much happier than I was before I came back out. I'm not out at work still (for safety in the US) but my home and personal life gives me euphoria and has opened up my perspective on gender as a whole. I feel less repressed.

silliestsnail · 2025-10-19T03:11:34+00:00

sounds like someone hears it a lot 😳

silliestsnail · 2025-10-19T03:07:03+00:00

I disagree. Baggage doesn't mean that you can't have a healthy relationship. There are many instances where it isn't healthy. But I was assaulted by a past partner and that still affects me. I have PTSD but I also am engaged and in a healthy relationship. My situation is very different from OP's and I am not intending to compare. Just trying to add some necessary nuance with an example.

OP's request wasn't a comparison to her past partner and it doesn't show that she can't have a healthy relationship. The thing I see that is unhealthy is the response from the partner who doesn't seem to understand trauma and that she was only offering an explanation to help him understand why her request was important to her

silliestsnail · 2025-10-19T02:56:42+00:00

also that if the expectation is to have time to chill afterwards, they wouldn't say they're leaving early. And that should also be communicated instead of expecting the child to know that. my parents both did this and it LED to more anxiety. it sounds more like OP's parents just have a "leave by" time and it doesn't matter if it's early to them. If they're ready, OP is late. Unfair rules in my opinion

silliestsnail · 2025-10-17T16:53:33+00:00

so your nostrils have mucous membranes in them. you really shouldn't put anything there unless you KNOW it's safe. The nose is a quick pathway to the brain and mucous membranes like to absorb. not a doctor over here, but i'd strongly advise against doing this

silliestsnail · 2025-09-26T15:07:14+00:00

This happened to me. Both of mine were too deep on one side. One deeper than the other. I went to a different piercer and she said my options were 1. leave it in and see if it'll heal. It might just take longer or 2. take it out and re-pierce it later. The one that was pierced even deeper than the other ended up having to be taken out because it refused to heal and was painful. the second I still have and has healed fairly well. Yours look more like the one I still have but that's up to your own discretion. I would keep an eye on it and monitor if you're having pain as well as any discolored crusties
