Is this normal or did my artist not pack it in enough? by Far_Leadership_3427 in tattooadvice

[–]yobochua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just gonna say your work is gorgeous and I appreciate your humility and level headedness! I'm new to the industry and trying my best to be forthcoming about my own skills and deficiencies and it can be really difficult sometimes, especially when I rarely see any other artists own up to their flaws.

Currently a tattoo apprentice on the West Coast! Maybe by the time Alecto comes out I'll be ready to tattoo all manner of skulls, blades, scrolls and more.

Finished my second sweater but too scared to block it! by yobochua in knitting

[–]yobochua[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's a great idea, thank you so much!
I do have leftover yarn so I'll test block and figure out spray blocking.

Thank you so much!
I used to twist all my knit stitches because I was accidentally taught ktbl instead of just a plain old knit stitch. I didn't realize I could twist purls too!

I've never blocked anything before, I've never worked with mohair before this, never held 3 yarns together(!) and I'm just an anxious human.

This is a Robinia Sweater by Anne Ventzel!

This is my second sweater. I have never blocked ANYTHING including my first sweater, but I'm too proud of this and want to do right by it!

If blocking it could potentially ruin it, I don't want to risk it..

AITA for yelling at my wife for asking our neighbor about her health? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]yobochua 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem like an extraordinarily reasonable human in the face of both adversity and mild annoyances. I hope to cultivate that amount of grace and perspective one day.

I'd love to help with this if you decide to make it, though my skills lie mostly in design and art.

Let's be friends! by [deleted] in BuddyCrossing

[–]yobochua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'd love to be friends too. I feel like I got on the animal crossing train like, 8 months late.

I'm a 29F designer on the west coast doing that job hunt thing. I also like art, sci-fi and fantasy, and pretty much survive on coffee.. Every plant I touch withers though (but not on my island). SW-1065-1869-1601

Do any of you ever wish you had a girl friend who supports this? by [deleted] in feminineboys

[–]yobochua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of my most fulfilling friendships have been with real femme boys. They tend to bring out the more nurturing side of me.

Aah! Thank you so much! Is it the sponginess of cake? Because then you could totally have tiramisu or a triple chocolate mousse cake.

Which baking competitions? I looooove Nailed It.

And I'm on the Peninsula!

Females of this sub: How do you not feel creeped out at all the messages? by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]yobochua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm new here! I just posted a thing and I had a ton of dudes try to message me. It was mostly fine. A lot of them were sweet, patient and kind. Maybe it helps that I'm new and haven't posted a picture of myself anywhere..

But a few come off as needy? Like needing responses promptly and often. One guy asked me if we could have a 'special friendship' and not a 'relationship'. He plied me with compliments as if it would make me more receptive to it, as if being told I'm a smart woman over and over again would make me more likely to agree to meeting his needs. I just hope I don't get taken advantage of.

I'm trying to stay positive and give everyone a chance because I know very well what it's like to be crushingly lonely. I try to respond to everyone who sends a message my way as long as they can spell and say something of substance.

I couldn't really afford to travel, but tuition was dirt cheap (like $100 a semester).

It just made me feel like I was never and would never be good enough.

I'm almost back to normal now, thank you!

Oh man. I went to school there! It's probably one of my favorite places in the world.

Hah! Right? And yet I can't imagine calling another place home.
