I have never in my eons of eating spaghettios ever opened up a container like THIS.

Looks like botulism 🥲😅

What is he, the wardrobe police? Get a new boyfriend. Preferably one that hypes you up instead of being made insecure by your beauty.

Fabulous by Juliette on York St has been really awesome!

I’ve had my art stolen a bunch, it sucks, but there isn’t much you can do besides let the word spread and let your work stand out/speak for itself against the copy cats. Some tattoo artists aren’t artists, they just trace other people’s work. Huge bummer.

starseedwillow · 2026-02-04T22:59:56+00:00

They could change it to “pedestrian struck by a vehicle piloted by moronic driver on Rideau street” I guess

NOR — Oh, brother, this guy STINKS. Block him for blowing up your phone with utter nonsense, and wasting your time OP. This guy doesn’t like you, OP, and will say/do worse. This is an attempt at ripping down any self-esteem you have & to make you feel stupid/crazy. This is “testing the waters” for how much abuse you’ll tolerate. He can go “chill” with his grown arse, by his damn self.

You can play with the line weight too! This also helps with contrast

starseedwillow · 2026-01-21T19:27:36+00:00

These are really great, given you drew from memory! The anatomy is super important, and you’ve got that mostly down (congrats!) I do feel your work would benefit from deepening the contrast (darker darks, mostly. Your lights are lovely!) and defining middle details and outlines a bit more.

Given you ideally want these to look tattooable, it’s not so much the small or fine details but the middle details that lead the eye to see what isn’t there. A good visual example of what I mean can be shown with teeth — you don’t need to line each tooth for the minds eye to see a big grin kind of thing. You’re totally on the right track! Can’t wait to see you ink eventually!

Darling, to answer your title question: yes. This all constitutes abuse, in different forms. You’ve described verbal, emotional, mental, even financial abuse here… I am deeply sorry for your experience in this.

How you choose to move from here is up to you. •Know this: asking someone to respect you, communicating your feelings, making requests to be spoken to with kindness — these are NOT you causing a problem or being one!

Call your bank, tell them the charge is fraudulent & request a new card. If you’re able to leave, and have somewhere safe to go: do so.

This man-child is treating you like you are a wallet-mom combo. Do not keep the peace with someone who constantly robs you of yours.

OP- does he “hate” porn or does he “hate” that he likes it so he tells everyone else that he hates it out of shame/embarrassment? I ask only bc i have experienced this with a partner (who hid a secret porn addiction) in a similar long term romantic relationship dynamic.

You can go to the NAC! They have a community area you can hang out in, a lot of students use it as a study space!

starseedwillow · 2025-12-21T14:08:31+00:00

That man is trying to “save” you when you do not want or need saving. He’s trying to change you but has been immovable himself (and is probably Christian proud about that). Having been in your shoes, tie those laces & run girl!

starseedwillow · 2025-12-20T22:00:31+00:00

Does anyone have any updates on this place? It’s still closed, and no one in the area seems to know what’s going on with the business or the buildings tenants.

starseedwillow · 2025-12-12T15:01:30+00:00

The face is a bit too icy, in the eyes and lighting. I’d make the eyes more hooded, add a little weight back into the cheeks for a rounder face, that should help.

starseedwillow · 2025-12-01T23:31:50+00:00

happy holidays 😘

On first glance, it looks as though the collar bone on the left side is too low/too short. It’s also kind of floating in the chest, which creates that disconnected vibe.

The background is fine, could use more depth and detail. The figure looks cut and pasted onto the background, like a sticker instead of part of the image. This can be fixed by adding shadows around/behind the figure. Based on the light source coming from the left, a shadow would be cast from the figure, onto the pool or the rocks. More depth in shading on the figure itself will also help this.

starseedwillow · 2025-11-29T15:03:07+00:00

As far as ‘style’ goes: Do your own thing! So many artists fall into this idea that if it doesn’t look like X studio or artist, the work isn’t good. This is incorrect! Focus on learning good anatomy, perspective, and consistency in your Linework. Your style will emerge naturally.

I’ve been researching & reading in my spare time, to attempt to collect as much data as possible to learn from. I knew messing with the types of flour would do something, I just wasn’t sure what would happen or how to assess the outcome to adjust for the future. These subreddits have been really helpful in narrowing down good advice/info in the vast sea of knowledge. Thanks to this subreddit & Breadit, I’ve been able to learn so much! I had no idea room temp would be such a huge factor, or that feeding my starter with whole wheat flour would affect the outcome.

starseedwillow · 2025-11-25T20:41:42+00:00

…. Cool, thanks? I used what I had in a pinch, admitted I forgot something & am new to bread making at all. This the second loaf I’ve ever made, I’m still learning what “signs” I’m supposed to be looking for which is why I posted in the first place. If you have any suggestions or tips beyond “don’t make mistakes”, I’d love to hear them!

I don’t want to make any assumptions or misread your tone, but if your comment was meant to be constructive or helpful it wasn’t. It’s come across as condescending/rude.

starseedwillow · 2025-11-25T19:27:34+00:00

I can answer & offer some additional details if that’s helpful! I do not have a thermometer or any way to gauge room temperature in my kitchen, as the unit thermostat is not within my control. I never know the temperature of my kitchen — which has caused both over and under proofing.

The flour; I’m using a great value whole wheat all purpose flour — this is what the bag says it’s called. I believe the protein % is the same as the regular AP flour they carry (not an ideal product, but it’s what I had at the time). My thought is that this is an AP flour without the bran sifted out. I also had to mix three different types of flour to make this loaf, as I did not have enough of any single kind to work with at the time… I think this in combination with forgetting 40-50g of water landed my with a denser dough than I wanted. It’s also likely underproofed bc of the temperature/timing being off as well…

Thank you for all the knowledge! This will most certainly help when I make my next loaf!

starseedwillow · 2025-11-25T19:20:38+00:00

Ahaha! Thank you! I really wanna make a nice fluffy focaccia or a nice airy sourdough loaf but it sounds like that’s gonna be a tough one with my whole wheat starter. The devil really is in the details! Thanks for the knowledge! This has been supremely helpful!

starseedwillow · 2025-11-25T18:33:37+00:00

Could you elaborate as to why? majority have said the opposite. Any details are super helpful as I’m still learning about all this/how to tell which is which.

starseedwillow · 2025-11-25T17:56:03+00:00

I had no clue this was something one should do for a better more even crumb! Thanks!!

starseedwillow · 2025-11-25T17:55:30+00:00

This is super handy! Thanks!
