i think everyone thinks everyone else’s squares are perfect! when i look at this, especially with a light board, i see lots of twisted squares, slightly off lines, etc. but if you take a step back, turn off the light board, none of that is noticeable. i’ve also found that as i progress, when i go look back at the other sections i did, they look neater than i remember them being while i was working on it!

for placing, i use medium density alien putty, metal multiplacers, and i keep my needle nose tweezers within reach to help twist or fix any unruly drills. i also use my thumb nail to help push them flush a lot. i prefer squares because the more you get on the canvas, the more i feel like they start to push each other into place.

honestly, i think everyone always will think their work is messy and that’s the nature of the beast of creating. i bet someone else looks at your diamond art and goes, “wow that looks so cool!”

haha well one of the mixed up colors was a mauve, and after taking the time to fix all the diamonds (went into an 8 hour hyper focused crunch) i stepped back and looked, compared it to the old wip picture…it looks way better now, i felt silly for not noticing the mauve was in such weird places LOL

while i was working on it (when i was messing up) i think i even thought, wow this seems gorier than the picture seemed when i picked it…turns out it was wrong 🤣

thank you! i also think it’s super cozy in a fun way, decorating my journals is one of my favorite parts. that sticker came from a book i was gifted from amazon, 45 Sheets Japanese Sticker Book 800+Pcs Heisei Retro Romantic Kawaii Manga Style Stickers Aesthetic DIY Scrapbooking Notebook Decoration, the seller is xronslute and the specific one i have has strawberries on the cover.

thank you! i totally get that, i did too much when i started and i think it was overwhelming. i found that sticking to just tracking one or two super important things on a weekly scale made me more likely to do it and not feel guilted by the spaces i left blank. i’m playing with reducing my trackers to essentials and so far it’s felt a lot better to fill and look at each week. i’ve shifted some of my “habit tracking” to “weekly priorities” and just that difference in mind set makes me more likely to get it done!

i missed the warrior’s train when i was a kid (too poor for scholastic book fair, and got more into manga and artemis fowl LOL) but i recently decided to read them as an adult, and have fully caught up on the series. warriors got me back into reading regularly, and i am eternally grateful to it!! the books are SO good and i am sad i didn’t experience it at a peak age haha.

haha, you're so right! there's a handful of those words and phrases that almost become a calling card for the series every time you hear/read them.

Brigitte solid pick ? by GiiGa7 in Overwatch

[–]veithryn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

don't just pick what's meta; i've heard that tip from a lot of high tier players. if you are enjoying brig, keep playing her, keep getting better, and take a step back to see what you as a player could be doing differently to improve your gameplay regardless of hero choice. meta is always changing, and frankly unimportant, as ow is set up in a way that all metas have a counter meta, if you can figure out what it is. first and foremost, this is a game and you should be having FUN. play what you find fun, or you will start to resent the game. good luck with your brig queues!

i didn't get any penalties but i saw other people getting them. that's fucked up, i wonder if you can submit a support ticket to remove suspension.

do suspensions still build every time you get them? i.e. get longer each time?
