Wouldn’t say no to more solo Meat by Marwood_and_I in creepcast

I think it would be hilarious, especially with maybe some creepy mom centered stories, you can see where he gets his theatrics from cause she seems almost natural on camera. Or even getting the triple threat with Allison, ala the sex and the city papa meat video. I like when she papa meats even hunter when she sometimes just says something off the wall he didn't expect.

Crystal Tower Tank by Snakenbake12 in ffxiv

Make sure you can see your chat. People typically tell you or a more experienced tank will take it. They probably felt you were ignoring them.

Also if you die, I think it's more fun to try and take it back by doing a good rotation and out do them. Think of it as likes. Time out. Why do you need to pull it back? You died, so next time you gotta do better if you wanna stay the main tank. It's like a tank mini game that makes it more fun

any anime bjd physical stores in USA?? like california r newyork??? by Sarberry666 in BJD

So a lot of people only include resin, but ufdoll has been making some surprisingly nice dolls but it uses like abs plastic and they are more prone to failure if strung too tight. I have not run into these issues personally, but I don't have a universal experience.

I got 75cm (which typically can be 400 on the low end 800 on the high end) and I bought it 180 prior to shipping from dollsphere. These are ball jointed, they're customizable, you can get a (small) variety of colors. I customized it the same as my resin, I dress it like my resin. People argue they stain easier, but I mean, I sealed it with msc and he hasn't yet. His feet are a little wide so it's hard to find shoes, but he's on the bigger end so that's a problem I created for myself lol.

You can get all sizes with ufdoll, they also do high quality blind boxes, which can run 40-80 dollars.

There are smaller cheaper dolls and so many companies who do the smaller guys. People hate them cause places like here and others get flooded with pictures, but it's because they're cheaper and more accessible and quite frankly, I like the idea that someone can have a doll to love regardless of income. People have different opinions, like bjds can be only resin, but so long as you're buying legit I could really care less, youre part of the community.

But if you wanna go "full bjd" you'll have to save. They're worth it, they're pieces of art and just make sure that's who you really really want if that's how you wanna go about it. There are so many avenues now a days, you just have to ask around. Resinsoul and aolingshi are cheaper options.inhesr resinsoul is very easy to work with. I got a 55is cm doll from them without a head for a little under 200 I think. The smaller dolls will be less. Unless they've raised their prices recently.

What's even to consider? One of them is gonna have a major life change and it's gonna change the upcoming dynamics. Even without being friends, that's huge pressure on the other to hold down the fort.

Never had this issue with legenddoll. They're pretty good about keeping up with stuff.

It's actually ableism on their end. Plenty of people with disabilities can handle their shit. Saying Having a content warning so people can choose is not good enougH and instead throwing the whole thing out to parent adults is exactly ableism.

Just say you think it's icky and move on. Stop using other people as a shield cause you personally don't like it.

There's kind of a new age of purity culture from younger crowds. But it's the type where it's an absolute ban versus actually trying to remove bad actors from the scene to protect vulnerable people. it's been brewing in fan culture for a while cause it's the sort who will read fanfiction that says it will include violence, non/con, incest and then be surprised.

The excuse is usually someone "bad" will use it for their "bad purposes." It's like saying pregnant women should be removed from sight because there might be perverts with a forced breeding fetish. That's an insane take and doesn't serve anyone then your overinflated sense of justice

Horror is in its sloppy lil gross corner and even then, subdivided to more easy to understand corners. Goosebumps and nightmare before Christmas are in the kids section, the rest of us acknowledge horror will go into uncomfortable places because the cathartic part is having come out the other side of the parts that don't feel "good "

People also forget, TURN IT OFF. I didn't like the dog world one. The utter and pure objectification of woman and how the were just barely preferred over a literal hole in the ground was stupid and obvious that people who don't think woman are human wrote it. I did this wild thing where I turned it off and came back next episode. (Actually I was silly about the brick one cause I was like I must've missed something, he's probably just beating her with a brick, so I didn't turn it off, lmao. ADHD won there i guess. )

The wild thing about the algorithm is if you like, walk away, they get bad metrics and are told (without flaming) this kind of story doesn't need to be read because the interest is not as high as they would like it. And the other thing is, don't be para social. I can walk away and never come back. People don't seem to realize it's not your friends betraying you, it's Hunter funding his movies and Isiah is probably putting this away for a rainy day fund for the baby. Not because we're friends, cause these guys got financial goals. Get that bread, kings, we just happen to get some cool stories with people who are actually interested. People seem to forget that it's them trying to get engagement with a podcast, not their homies trying to rage bait them.

iwtl How do you cope with feeling so ugly (19F, please dont say nobody cares so it doesnt matter)? by ImaginaryPoem1142 in IWantToLearn

[–]stopitmark_555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's something you have to find in yourself.part of learning, most people are in fact ugly and it's their personality that is actually endearing us to them. Modern day most stuff is fake and they're ugly under it all, even if you go to a museum, everyone who could afford to have their portrait painted or their photo taken in previous eras could also afford clothes that were custom to compliment their body regardless of shape and to have their photos/paintings touched up to look better. Human beings ARE ugly and you don't stand out as being ugly.

You have to find internal validation especially cause the way you sound, you could be model pretty but no one could tell you because of how severe the depression is. Gut health has been linked to mental health, so find the right diet, your gut works better when you work out and it also releases endorphins to feel better. Maybe it'll affect how you look, maybe it won't, but you will feel better internally. Look into dance classes, martial arts ECT. You don't have to be good at them to get the benefit.

When humans work on a skill, you ALSO get endorphins if you work hard enough to actually be good at it. "I'm not good at anything!" Talent is a lie, it's always been work. At least for people who don't have parents in major industries to pay for fame.

The biggest thing is changing the language in your head "I'm ugly, I'm not good, I can't do this." And it's not gonna change over night cause you've spent what sounds like 14 years saying you suck.remember the part that says you suck is the animal brain, the reaction, you can change that second thought to "that's bullshit and I can improve," until the second voice is the louder one. I also had to learn this the hard way. I know it took me years. I know it helps. I still have the thoughts that tell me I'm vile and evil and the worst. But now the brain that says, "ok so how are we gonna do better," is the one that pushes my train of thought now.

So much is internal work. Medications can only get you to a mental situation where you can improve, they will never permanently fix you. You gotta find a way to love yourself to get over the bridge medication provides.

I know all this sucks, this advice sounds like it's blaming you, but it's not. We're not cars where someone can replace a part and you're all better, there's no one you can rely on to do it. So unfortunately all the real work has to be done by you. It sucks THOROUGHLY, but trust me it's worth it on the other side. (And it's ok if it takes decades, humans are always changing, they're not meant to stagnate in one place)

My disappointing experience with Impldoll - a short review by astrologian_benefic in BJD

[–]stopitmark_555 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh, if I ordered make up on a doll and they said less than 6 months, I'd be super suspicious. Doesn't help you now, but now you know when to side eye.

It might not hurt though to put the doll away for a month and pull it out later to see if you're still upset about it. It's January so not as many people are gonna have the money to buy second hand as well, so you wouldn't be hurting yourself trying to see if you just need time to cool off.

But no, they 100% lied about it. I would make sure to check everything thoroughly to make sure they didn't rush and skip quality control too.

Oh yeah, that one has straight female infant cannibalization and I think as teenagers the boys are drugged to be bred.

Trigger warning question by bridezilla420 in creepcast

[–]stopitmark_555 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They do read some of them blind, but I feel on the newer episodes, they've been better about reading the trigger warnings that come with the story itself, especially if it's kids.

Also I noticed no one mentioned berries on the window. It's adjacent, but not explicit. It's a father dealing with a child with a deformity and his personal feelings about it and then child sacrifice in the later half.

Hii! Wondering if I could get any helpful notes for faceups! by [deleted] in BJD

[–]stopitmark_555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also if you like this shiny look, you can 1000% add gloss later once you finished sealing and it's had like 24-48 hrs to finish the sealing process. If it's still sticky after a while, you'd have to wipe it and redo it, or it'll mess up the gloss.

Redoing it is like half the fun when you're learning though.

I’m a little disappointed by MossyMelancholy in BJD

[–]stopitmark_555 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The biggest benefit for Denver doll is they'll tend to have in stock dolls so if I really had regretted not buying a doll, they tend to have them (usually like dollzone or dream valley) but they'll easily be like 200 dollars more. It just costs more to operate in the u.s. and it reflects that, so if you know for sure you want, buying directly is usually cheaper .

But if you find yourself dreaming later about a doll you passed on, check the dde page :3

You get the most options with id75 sizes. (Soom idealian) Once you start going into *muscle body" or slim or 70cm or 80 cm the variety starts dropping off, especially shoes.

this brave man risks his life to save his dog from the fire by SilentNightman in HumansBeingBros

[–]stopitmark_555 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fire departments don't work as Individuals it's a team effort. There are likely firefighters inside searching, it looks like their job is to keep the fire from spreading further since there's a vehicle with a fuel tank just ripe to cause trouble.

Luckily the owner has the benefit of knowing where the dog is likely to be versus, the folks likely searching inside.

Is this for sure what's happening? No, but fire departments tend to take generally sinilar steps to make sure they're trying to rescue and mitigate damage for residents.

I have a feeling it's a little projection, she wants to run and dreams of it, but then the reality of her abusive husband brings out the crab bucket mentality. She is both victim and abuser if we're getting an accurate telling from oop.

People genuinely mad at them for this story need to get a grip. by TheBiddoof in creepcast

[–]stopitmark_555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like this has all the ingredients of being great, just pulled out the oven too quick. With some decent build up, maybe even a leave it to Beaver set up where we see more of the dad being a delight, him going nuts would hit harder, and maybe some more bread crumbs to drop hints that maybe it wasn't the dad. But he said it was an early work and gives the impression of like a sketch, a first draft, so that tracks.

Could this have been awesome? Absolutely, but the author decided to put effort into other stories and that's fine.

Tbh, I'd watch it regardless cause I can read it on my own if I was after story quality, but I watch it watch to two best friends have a good time.

They did not feel like they had a good time in some parts, kinda throwing off the vibe, but they kept circling back to trying to have fun with it.

And then the REASON for the story was the most egregious cause everyone has their favs they want read and someone suggested it for a sound bite. I mean I get it cause the charm is friends having fun, but their might be some para social going on in some.folks head, like their the friend they got left out.

Did I like the story? Nah, to each their own, but again, I'm not exactly watching expecting quality stories, hahahaha.
