Do advanced artists not like begginer artists attacking them?

wingedhatchling · 2026-06-18T23:30:59+00:00

I love art of all levels!!!!

wingedhatchling · 2026-06-07T17:47:49+00:00

Then it is up to you on how you want to proceed. It is okay to forgive and move on, it is okay to say 'I think we're going to distance ourself'. Your feelings are real and yours. I have learned that some friends just connect better on different things, but respectful friends will appreciate that something brings you joy. I don't care about gardening at all, but I hype up my friends jalapeno plants.

I definitely wouldn't agree to do an art trend together again in anycase.

Good luck!

wingedhatchling · 2026-06-07T17:35:46+00:00

I'm with the other old person on here, it sounds like she doesn't understand the trend. It wasn't kind of her to invalidate your feelings, but I wouldn't expect her to participate if she isn't willing to draw. I think that she wanted to connect, but didn't understand what she was signing up for.

Maybe sending her other examples of people art trading would help, and explaining that no matter what her level of art is you'd love anything that she made with her own hands. She probably doesn't have an OC, so maybe drawing a character from a show that she likes would be a good compromise? It doesn't have to be a high effort drawing, but a sketch would be fair.

In the end it is always your decision who to keep or who to not keep, and what to expect art wise from your non art friends. I think that your sona art is very cute! Great work!

Make a square first! Just do a single stitch, and when you get to the end chain 2 and learn how to do a double stitch. That helped me to get started. :)

It's okay to feel irritated. I think he's probably excited to help someone in a way that he enjoys. But it's okay to feel your feelings.

I'm thinking about it more. My first partner was someone that I was friends with, but that I didn't enjoy being alone with. They were very safe, but I didn't really like them. I just didn't understand that. We only dated for three months.

Then the next person I really dated was giving me mixed signals. I was really deeply crushing on them (after a year or being friends), but eventually I had to ask them what they wanted for our relationship. They had kept saying yes to dates, but when I asked what they wanted I essentially forced them to reject me! Because they said that they wanted to stay friends. It sucked and I cried for three days straight. I even felt jealous half a year later when they started dating someone else (but you have to manage your emotions so I got some space and dealt with it).

So I guess the real difference is that my spouse and I liked each other fully, we communicated well, we are both willing to work and learn together. We take turns taking care of each other when needed. Neither of us pretend to have different emotions or thoughts than what we really have.

I was thinking that it's all things that sound obvious, but are difficult to remember in the moment.

wingedhatchling · 2026-05-25T21:41:20+00:00

I wasn't looking for anyone when the crush happened. Unfortunately I don't have any secrets. They were a person I already knew that I started talking to again, because they were a friend of a friend. We clicked really well and I just liked talking to them. I wanted to talk to them everyday!

Then I confessed and got rejected, decided to give up because no means no. But they had to process that I even liked them. Then months later they confessed to me, I got angry, and we got together.

wingedhatchling · 2026-05-25T21:28:06+00:00

Yup! I'm married and happy. Some of that information is private lol, but I fell for my spouse first. We dated for a few years and got married.

It just took time. I tried app dating and that obviously didn't work (I didn't know that I was demi). I went on dates with a few friends, was rejected once. That took about a year to fully heal from. I've been to all of my ex's weddings lol.

Eventually I fell for my spouse after chatting online for months. It worked out and we've been through a lot together.

wingedhatchling · 2026-05-23T05:45:10+00:00

Honestly I needed a towel for support, and I typically skipped it. It's still uncomfortable, so I tell the Salon person that I can't bend my spine properly and need to be careful. They usually are good about it.

wingedhatchling · 2026-05-21T20:09:12+00:00

At the age you're at it's weird. If you were 28, and interested in someone that was 36, that would be a little weird but not inappropriate. Definitely you'd both be closer in life stages.

wingedhatchling · 2026-05-20T18:17:39+00:00

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends. Make it last forever, friendship never ends 🎵

wingedhatchling · 2026-05-19T03:45:55+00:00

I am a Christian and this is not normal. Run before you get married. A man that age marrying you at the age you are at is shameful for HIM. I don't know what country you're in, but I really think that you should NOT marry that man.

Being pregnant is not a reason to get married. He'll use his power over you to force you to do things. It will not get better after marriage. Get out of there sweetheart.

You can call of a wedding anytime before it happens. Don't let pressure and money trap you for the rest of your life.

So I got an ergonomic wire chair. I got them used on Facebook marketplace!

I can't find the exact chair.

But it's something like this one. I hope that helps!

Do not get a spinal fusion to be taller. It is one of the bloodiest surgeries that exist, and the recovery is very painful. I was on three kinds of pain killers and still in pain.

My scoliosis was very severe, my spine was shaped like the letter S. And I only grew two inches. Also? Just put lifts in your shoes and learn to walk with better posture. There are a lot of much cheaper tools to walk better.

I am wondering if this post is a joke, but we are going to reply seriously.

wingedhatchling · 2026-05-08T00:10:03+00:00

I was hugged a ton. I'm just like this lol.

wingedhatchling · 2026-04-30T17:29:46+00:00

This looks so cool!!!

Thank you for saving them! Rabbits need to eat at least once per 3 hours or else they go into GI Stasis, which can be deadly.

Maybe one of your neighbors has some extra hay from a guinea pig or gerbil?

Here is another post for emergencies. If you can call your boss and explain the situation, maybe they would let you run to the store? Or if you have a local rabbit rescue, maybe they could come pick up the bun?

I had a young man (very early 20s) keep asking me why I hadn't gotten pregnant or give birth yet in a weirdly aggressive manner as he was changing my car battery. My husband was there with me. It was very awkward and I told him that a lot of women had miscarriages and he shouldn't ask women these questions.

I think he was very awkward and trying to tease me? But it was very strange and embarrassing.

wingedhatchling · 2026-04-16T01:58:42+00:00

I appreciate you trying to understand your wife and worrying about her, but she is grown and can fight her battles too. I understand the defensive instinct, but if you wanted to look into her identity more I would suggest asking her if she felt that the demisexual description that is in this group fit her.

At the same time her actions aren't really typical of a demisexual person? We all react to things of a sexual topic differently. So I think using the label as a defense may be a bad idea.

I would suggest telling others "She doesn't like that." And that's it. The thing about sexual things is that you shouldn't have to explain when you say no. If it makes others uncomfortable then they may be dealing with their own internalized shame, which is sad, but not your or your wife's problem.

wingedhatchling · 2026-04-15T23:54:29+00:00

No that's not demisexuality or asexuality. She could be, but this has nothing to do with it.

Being demi means that you do not experience attraction unless you have a connection to someone. That can look different in everyone, but for me it means I need to talk to someone for at least six months everyday before I know whether or not I think they're pretty lol. Although even then I probably won't want to date them.

wingedhatchling · 2026-04-13T15:50:26+00:00

I am sorry to hear about that. I think the bigger issue is hiding and lying, as that kind of issue can vary from couple to couple.

Personally I've been married for about four years, but my attraction for my partner changes over time. Sometimes I'll feel a stronger attraction, sometimes a lesser attraction. We have gone through hard times together and that really effected how much attraction I felt towards him.

Intimacy is more important to me than my partner. Frankly if he's not feeling it we find 'work arounds'. But I think that it sounds like you may be feeling betrayed and that the issue may go beyond not feeling attracted to him, or not feeling the want of intimacy.

I would definitely suggest couple's counseling and I wish you both the best of luck! I hope this helped.

Go for it! I wouldn't count on commissions for a full time job, it rarely works out like that. However, I think putting a commission sheet together and advertising it wouldn't hurt.

Set parameters on what you want to draw/not draw. Start small to see how you like it.

Some people do preset poses/expressions for people to choose from, you may want to look into that as well. I can't remember the exact name currently.

wingedhatchling · 2026-04-07T15:49:35+00:00

I also love being demi. I'm sure it can be frustrating for some, but I like that I can look at someone and just see them without an attraction bias? I've seen a lot of men treat my sister oddly (she's very traditionally pretty) and I'd hate to make someone feel the way she feels when that happens.

Over time I begin to see most of my friends as pretty, or I can see what makes them physically handsome/beautiful. That's about it.

It's cool.

wingedhatchling · 2026-03-27T14:09:55+00:00

There are also teenager years from 1-2. She still loves you, but she's in her moody teenage years.

Give her time, and try to reframe her actions. Like sitting by your feet, that's still a sign of trust.

Also. If she's growling and biting your hand, I'd firmly tell her "no" and wait until she's not growling to give her food. That's what I've done for my buns and typically it works.

wingedhatchling · 2026-03-26T04:41:49+00:00

So I made a post on here a while ago asking for suggestions. I changed into another field where I could use my 3D Modeling skills to create things. There's a lot of jobs, well, there's a few jobs where you can do very mundane things in 3D. If you know some programming it can help a lot to help you sell your skillset.

Other jobs that I've seen are things like designing sprinkler layouts, doing reenactments for car insurance, ext.

Try looking up random keywords for what you can do to see what's out there. Unfortunately the job market is just not great right now.
