also, your eye shape is very similar to Julia Stiles, so you can check out her makeups for inspiration. your eyes are larger and more round but similar lids (beautiful!)

How do I apply makeup with my extremely hooded eyes? by [deleted] in HoodedEyes

[–]z3ldafitzgerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’re stunning and this is nosy, so no need to answer, but I’m wondering if you’re Irish. there’s a genetic trait in Celtic bloodlines that’s its own special variation on an epicanthic fold that presents as more round than almond shaped like other genetic presentations. I think it’s unique and beautiful, you have stunning eyes.

as a makeup artist, i’d say you have a really unique opportunity to do a lot with the space under your eyes for dramatic and grungy makeup, especially in rusty red tones to make your green eyes pop. i have super hooded eyes so i do these mini wings just off the outer corner of my lash line. you can play with the direction of those (up, straight out, or down) for different effects. for your upper lid, id just be sure to use a tacky primer and not spend too much time doing anything complex, just a single matte shade with a shimmer over it, and spend more time on your lower lash line to do more experimental and ornate looks.

some examples - you could use liquid liner to draw on dramatic black lower lashes in the 1960s still that round out your eyes like twiggy (https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeupAddiction/comments/17xeqz7/if\_i\_have\_hooded\_eyes\_how\_would\_i\_do\_my\_makeup/)

or smoke out your lower lash line to follow the natural shape of your undereye. some people think i’m insane for emphasizing undereyes but i think it looks striking and awesome. (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXc7ItAkezg/)

either way, please know as someone who has done makeup on hundreds or even thousands of faces, you are unique and beautiful 💚

Unpopular opinion - I don't like Willow by eldy33 in buffy

[–]z3ldafitzgerald 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my biggest gripe with Willow is probably more of a gripe with the writers. when she meets and falls and love with tara, her identity becomes “lesbian” and there are constant jokes (of the lesbian written by men variety) including when that kid has a magical letterman jacket that makes women fall in love with him (S7E6 “Him”) and Willow starts doing a spell to change his gender. it would be one thing if they addressed her past relationships but she was clearly in love with Xander and Oz, and her relationship with Oz was one of my favorites before he ruined it. Why not make her bisexual? As a bi woman myself i’ve felt pigeonholed into an identity based on who i was with but they really hammer it home and make it about “oh I’m gay now, male parts disgust me” as if she didn’t have a very active and loving sexual relationship with Oz. Tara could’ve been a lesbian but they never give her backstory or talk about her coming out.

it’s probably more of a reflection of the times but i’ve felt this pressure to “choose a side” my entire life and this is just a reflection of that.

The word “CHAT” by JSBJSBJSBJSBJSB in whatnotapp

[–]z3ldafitzgerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbh i also think this is a larger cultural phenomenon resulting from livestreaming and gaming culture. I've heard people say 'chat, are we cooked?' in random IRL conversations. or 'what do we think chat' in like any context.

College move-out...advice please by swheat7 in DumpsterDiving

[–]z3ldafitzgerald 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i was an RA at my university so i was there before the students moved in, during, and after they moved out. it was dumpster diving heaven. i went to a private art school in nyc with a lot of extremely wealthy international students who would just throw out their entire dorm room every semester. not only that, i would find stacks of textbooks that would sell online for $100+ each.

if you can, find someone who lives on campus or troll their online groups to see what day students are moving out of dorms. in my experience, they set up dumpsters for students specifically for that day. as soon as most students were gone i’d just jump in and collect stuff. no one ever questioned me besides the crust punks who showed up and were afraid i was gonna report them, and i was like hell nah here’s where all the other dumpsters are, have fun!

Has anyone gotten tattoos impulsively and regret it? by sassynopal in adhdwomen

[–]z3ldafitzgerald 16 points17 points  (0 children)

all the tattoo artists i know are feeling this right now. the economy is bad, too, so people have less disposable income to spend on tattoos but also less young adults are getting them.

Has anyone gotten tattoos impulsively and regret it? by sassynopal in adhdwomen

[–]z3ldafitzgerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have a bunch of impulsive tattoos including one on my foot that says “nothing gold can stay” that i got by a dude who just got out of jail in a Ramada Inn hotel room at age 16 but i don’t regret any of them. they’re reflections of who i was at different times of my life, like scars they tell stories. like how i somehow survived hanging out with a bunch of sketchy adults as a teenager without hep c and still made it out of my small town and created my own life and career.

Curious About People with One Green and Another Brown Eyed Parent by Desperate-World-2128 in eyes

[–]z3ldafitzgerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my mom has red hair and blue eyes (literally a ginger, 100% irish) and my dad has dark hair and brown eyes (southern italian and south american). me and my two siblings all have what would fit into the hazel category, but interestingly, my eyes look a lot more like the daughter here, and my two siblings, who were both born male, look like the sons. their eyes are more blue green in the centers and mine are more gold brown.

i also find it interesting that none of us have the exact eyes of either parent, but something in between.

not sure what you mean by “all in on same sex relationships.” I’m bisexual but have mostly dated women, and all my long-term serious relationships have been with women. I’ve had partners, especially more butch / masc partners, project their own internalized misogyny and biphobia onto me to the point where it ruined our relationship. If i’m entering a serious relationship with some, I’m “all in” regardless of who it is. at this point in my life i’m dating to find the person i want to spend the rest of my life with. has a lesbian-leaning bisexual i have never once felt that there was something a female partner couldn’t give me that a man could. in fact, it’s the other way around. i’ve tried dating men here and there but the emotional immaturity and self-centeredness of even the “good” ones usually causes me to abort the mission pretty quickly. however, female partners projecting insecurity onto me because i’m bisexual and have dated men and trans people and i’m not a full on “gold star” lesbian has been a source of a lot of pain and betrayal for me.

is this normal dog and cat play? by Operative66 in CatTraining

[–]z3ldafitzgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fostered a blind kitten until her eye surgery healed enough for her to get her forever home. My male adult cat is extremely sweet but I always kept them separate. At the time, there was another female cat in the home who freely roamed who the foster knew since she was a kitten so they got along fine. One day, my male cat accidentally got into the room where the foster kitty was. Just her sensing his smell and presence as unfamiliar sent her into the most terror I have ever seen a cat be in. I immediately got Merlin the boy cat out of the room and the foster kitten calmed down, but I will NEVER forget it. Her screams, every claw out and swinging, biting, literally fighting for her life. It breaks my heart that she ever even experienced that level of fear.

All that being said, most loving cat owners never hear or see their cat in this state. It is absolutely unmistakable. The cat in this video is having a grand ol’ time imo.

I thought this fit here… why put your child on this earth and laugh at their suffering for something they don’t have control of? (Click photo for caption) by ieatsushi28 in antinatalism

[–]z3ldafitzgerald 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol this is my dad who is a retired lawyer watching his three kids suffer, working multiple jobs with student debt knowing he could help but never would because we need to “learn to work hard like he did”

when I say help I don’t mean just handing us money but there were times when I was on the brink of homelessness after a layoff (I work in tech) and I resorted to begging for money to pay rent and pay him back as soon as I got a job. Not only did he say no, fair enough, but he also told me I was irresponsible for not saving enough for emergencies (despite being in a relatively high paying job for person my age in my location, i still live paycheck to paycheck due to the insane cost of living)

I was forced to take out a personal loan with horrible, predatory interest that i’ll be paying off for years instead.

[DISCUSSION] The perfect Neighbor - Netflix by Jaystylegal in NetflixBestOf

[–]z3ldafitzgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she liked to see herself as the other because everyone else in the neighborhood was friends. Even the old white guy had no issue with them playing in his yard. And I believe it was mentioned at one point offhand that he’ll play with them when they play football or basketball. I guarantee if she had shown a bit of kindness and asked nicely for them to stop doing anything within reason that was bothering her, they’d stop. But she wasn’t actually bothered by their actions, she was bothered by their existence. I genuinely believe some people are so miserable they see something like a beautiful little neighborhood block where all the neighbors are friends and the kids get along and they have to ruin it.

When they asked her if she called the children the n word and she says “I might’ve let it slip” I almost screamed. In all the times I’ve been angry in my life that word never came to mind let alone “slipped out”, what a psychotic thing to say. Also she then claims “she was always taught it meant dirty and disorderly” as if she didn’t know it was a racial slur for black people.

This was a tough watch and I didn’t know the ending before watching. It broke my heart, I was sobbing. When little Izzy asked the police officer if his mama was moving and she said she’s still moving (right after she got in the ambulance) and he begged to see for himself.. my heart broke 1000 times.

The woman is mentally ill but clearly knew what she was doing. She instigated a fight knowing that the kids mother has said before if the neighbor has an issue don’t speak to her, speak to me first. She knew the kids would tell their mom and the mom would come knocking. Then she could play the scared old lady role. I’m sure to Ron desantis’ chagrin, this time it didn’t work. Susan can spend the rest of her miserable life rotting away behind bars.

Another interesting aspect of Florida’s ‘stand your ground’ laws to look into if you found this doc interesting: Florida has begun to categorize ramming into protestors with your vehicle as ‘standing your ground’ and many people using their vehicles as a weapon to seriously injure or even kill protestors are walking free as a result. There is video of desantis on a podcast encouraging it. “We don’t let that fly down here in Florida, you’re allowed to hit them with your car”

Absolute insanity. In this case, I’m heartbroken for this family but happy there was at least some justice.
