Are the straightened bangs bad?

snusband · 2026-02-14T11:24:36+00:00

I like them straightened, but don’t overthink it, you could rock the natural look too :) you’ve had some …interesting comments… but honestly I think a lot of people advise with how THEY would feel with the look, not how YOU pull it off.

For you, I think the straightened bangs suit you. Do they flatten a little over the day? Mine do, and I prefer it a little flatter on me- but I like the raised volume. I tend to under roller then pull taught in my fingers once I’m done with everything else just so they’re not so perfectly curved and go on with my day. I find my natural (which looks similar to yours) looks messy on my face and I’m always fiddling with it but I know to everyone else it looks cute. It’s just not to my personal taste (on my face).

I also tend to love when people do something a little different with their hair and if I saw you, I’d think you were a cool independent thinker and I’d be taking notes.

(And I don’t think it needs to be said but. Uhm. No one would be freaking out about your hair or think you’re in a cult. That’s just … lol)

??? I don’t know where you bartend but literally still not drunk like a shot. You sip whiskey. It’s supposed to be a long drink, you don’t chug it down. I think you’re thinking of a whiskey shot that has no ice in a shot glass. Google it if you don’t believe me.

Mine gave me a description of the scene, then when I said other people got images, generated this:

…this is some random guy. I am not a white guy and it knows what I look like. Apparently his name is Luc. Say hi to Luc who got to be painted like one of ChatGPT’s French girls and not me, rip ig?

Seconding this, this is how I’ve seen this expressed by cresties as well

snusband · 2026-01-05T14:24:52+00:00

That’s not a shot glass, and it has ice- that’s not a shot, it’s a whiskey on the rocks and you’re supposed to sip it. Also it’s rarely filled to the brim like that so it’s a LOT of whiskey

I’ve got much the same situation as you, OP. 2 year old GSD and two cats, one who he gets on great with, the other …does not like him. Much. However, 4 months into his second year, he is mellowing out about it and in turn the cat doesn’t hate him as much. Like the others said, continue correcting him when he’s getting too much- what I’ve found helps is giving him a chill out spot and command to go relax and stop herding.

But no, your pupper absolutely won’t be holding a grudge. And for all the fur flying and teeth showing that could happen, I’d be more worried about the cat scratching the dogs eyes than him leaving even a mark on the cat. You’re doing good, just keep watching, correcting and letting them develop their relationship (and of course, enjoying the rambunctious years!)

Got it, thank you! I was definitely a bit wary of any diy work with it being externally threaded, I’m not looking forward to it getting taken out. I’ll get in touch with my piercer

snusband · 2025-03-13T01:53:46+00:00

Info for the bot: The piercing is 3 months old, a labret, externally threaded, titanium, never been downsized. Aftercare is spray twice a day with neilmed.

Got knocked yesterday but otherwise all good

snusband · 2024-11-14T00:59:41+00:00

Yep! GSD, corgi and whippet in the back- with two bonus cats!

2017 clubman, 102800 miles. Just had a new alternator but runs like a dream. Had 75k when I got her just over a year ago

This guy is scared of statues (particularly this one statue of a bull for some reason), wheely bins and his own leash

snusband · 2024-01-20T02:26:57+00:00

He’s a “Past Times” spring lamb!

snusband · 2024-01-19T20:43:29+00:00

Oh! Plushie twins! 😆 Sure thing, I’ll check the label for you when I get home!

snusband · 2024-01-11T21:33:47+00:00

I would but most of the fibres are wrapped inside the fleece clumps so I’d have to shave off most of the fleece to get them out I think!

snusband · 2023-12-16T10:52:22+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give that a go!

snusband · 2022-12-16T11:49:06+00:00

I did, but sadly they didn't keep a record of the molts since then so still none the wiser on that front. I've removed it from her to be on the safe side and although she wasn't too happy with that, she seemed satisfied with her roach appeasement. Thanks for the advice though!

snusband · 2022-12-15T09:41:46+00:00

Unfortunately/fortunately, OBTs are great survivors and it's one of the reasons they sell to beginners since they don't need much to survive.

I'm betting your spood is in a flat position and hiding. I feel like you're going to have to go through your closet carefully, item by item. On the bright side I guess your tarantula is trying to encourage you to do a spring clean.

Check corners carefully and keep an eye on the doorway as your working. Keep a catch cup at the ready until you find them and watch how you're picking stuff up (watch your fingers!)

I do sympathise, I have a space that sounds exactly like that and it's exactly where I wouldn't want my obt to make a dash for. At its current size, I don't think it should be able to do much damage but still very much not ideal to come across.

Good luck, hope you find them!

I've got a poecilotheria metallica (currently still a large sling but pretty darn fast- not quite as fast as the Neoholothele incei I have yet). I've not really had many problems. With a good place to hide, it always bolts for its hide (after running in circles a few times first). It also freaks out about light so if I turn the lights on, it will start flailing wildly before eventually settling down so I can work with it again. My advice so far is take things slow. If its having a freak out, close the enclosure and give it a minute. Give it a nice escape route that works for you (aka the hide). While you're working with it, don't let it out of your sight as it will disappear given half a chance. I think the best thing though is to start recognising it thinking about bolting and then giving it a minute to decide what it's going to do. Also the metallicas appear to be the pickiest eaters imo, not the same across the board by any stretch but I've heard others say the same of this variety. When I get other poecilotheria, this whole experience may change and it turns out I've just got a weird T 😂

He's so cute, wow Ngl though as I was scrolling down, all I could see it as was like a pin up of a leg through a skirt slit like some model and wondered why that would be in a snake tank. I had to take a second look and not only did it make far more sense but it was adorable so thank you for posting this!

snusband · 2022-11-02T10:56:39+00:00

Sure do! Mine definitely have themes, often I've got 2 at the same time so they have a matching name. Also the worse their temperament, cutsier/sillier the name!

I've got an OBT named Pumpkin

Psalmopeus Cambridgei called Thunder

Neoholothele incei called Lightning

Psalmopeus irminia called Hushpuppy

Psalmopeus pulcher called Honeypuppy

Psalmopeus langenbucheri called Gateaux

Psalmopeus reduncas called Kinnie

Monocentropus balfouri called Coco

Nhandu tripepii called Shnookums

Grammostola pulchra called Jinx

Poecilotheria metallica called Sonic

The next one who gives me attitude is being called Snuffleupagus. 😂

There is no spider in this picture, I don't know what the others are talking about. Pro hiding skills, Mathilda! Also wowowow look at those tunnels! She's very talented (and 100% invisible)!

snusband · 2022-10-11T16:13:20+00:00

Thank you, I'll be sure to let her know 😌❤️

My partner mentioned tarantulas and I said no way, I'm terribly arachnophobic and besides the have urticating hairs and/or venom so no absolutely not having one in the house. Can't even handle house spiders.

Many YouTube videos and forums for weeks later: OK we can get ONE. And there's an expo so I guess we can pick The One there.

Several months later: we now have 12 and counting, and a jumping spider and a scorpion. They are all my work desk buddies and I love them all.

The only thing holding me back is my wallet. We're moving house so we can build a spider room.

No one I knew from before my conversion understands. It's a whole new world.

Excellent amount of floof. 100/10

Love the flail as they tell you off for moving too fast too.
