He looks smug as hell.

I mean, they are real. Just soft and fuzzy. Thank you! I was inspired by tryptophobia.

Thanks! That’s exactly what I was going for.

What, lol.

My post was about how I’m not attracted to it.

You might want to stop conducting gender studies at bars.

Please, show me your psych degree from the university of 4Chan.

Thank you.

Mostly decorative. I have a series of pouches on my walls for desk items and sometimes put LEDs in them for soft lighting, but the majority of what I make is for fun— Aside from the three hundred cat toys hiding under every piece of furniture.

I know and understand where it comes from, but I don’t want to deal with it in a partner.

The chainsaw thing was absolutely because I’m a chick and representative of his overall attitude toward me that evening. Asking if I’d used a chainsaw would have been appropriate, or a quick rundown on starting/stopping would have been fine.

Basically, I ask myself if he would have said the same thing in the same way to a man. I’ve worked on enough jobsites to know that no, that doesn’t happen.

I was like this when I started dating. Popular media and family impacted how I viewed love and relationships, so accustomed to living with controlling narcissists I didn’t understand what healthy affection looked like.

My first relationships were nightmares with similar people who reinforced those ideas. If I was approached by someone with a healthy, balanced mindset, I wouldn’t know what to do with them.

Which is not to provide a solution, but rather some insight. In a sense it’s a good thing you recognize a toxic situation before it begins, in another sense it can be lonely and frustrating, and I can commiserate from the other side

This is beautifully shaded and full of emotion. The overall design is fantastic, really captivating.

Creative, fun and encouraging. Emotionally mature, respectful, and commited to ongoing self improvement. Everything else is peripheral, but bonus points for writers and artists who are into pc gaming and technology.

My biggest issue has been men socialized with some kind of bias against women, who don’t examine their need to protect and try to make decisions for me. I’m pansexual but lean toward people with dicks.

I learned how to use power tools when I was seven, I’m mechanically inclined, and built my own PC at eighteen. There are an unfortunate number of men who will start a conversation with me from a place of condescension. The last date I went on, he showed me his chainsaw, I asked to try it out and what he said started with “Okay, well it can be a little scary at first because it’s loud…” Another guy told me I was cracking eggs wrong when I made breakfast. I used to be a head chef.

They’re soft to touch but hold their shape. The white/black was just done with random plastic shapes in the middle layers.

You can find lots searching for wet felting, I can’t make a better video than a lot of the stuff out there. It’s all just different variations of:

1. Lay down wool

2. Pour hot water and soap on wool

3. Rub

I lose my mind over this, too.

ICE Agents Attack Journalists, is accurate

Confrontation with ICE Agents Ends with One Journalist in Hospital, is still accurate.

This title makes it sound like the journalist tripped and fell on their way to bother some ICE agents.

This is some rambling nonsense alright. Also, this is a line in there:

But I doubt Besson really loved her. They don’t even have a child. He probably thought she was just hot.

Sir, this is a comic about nazi propaganda.

An interesting thing the nazis did was portray jews, blacks, disabled, etc. as irredeemable criminals in order to justify extra-judicial punishment.

Ahaha… you got me. Now I know an in-joke next time I’m hanging with Germans.

Bielefeld? That’s a real place.

Bob Ross would be an angel about it.

But to me, the problem could be trying to find shortcuts to paint what it seems like instead of what it is. If you want a more accurate representation, try to be ridiculously intentional with every line, no cutting corners. Picasso could draw realistically before he experimented with cubism.

On the other hand, lean into this disconcerting theme and at least everything you do will be interesting.

Your 2025 version gives me anxiety… which isn’t a bad thing because it’s definitely got character. But it’s no quaint farmhouse.

It’s the harsh lines creating movement in different directions, the disjointed porportions, the lighting — like a lovely summer day— in contrast with the deadness of what should be a lush background. Meanwhile, the demon tree of pain is drawing focus like a DMT nightmare.

Did you take the goddamn fear toxin before painting this?

I love it. I would honestly hang it up because it’s got a vibe.

“I’m ignoring you”

“You’re afraid to argue”

Don’t really need to argue when you do it for me.

And I did respond to your comment before it was removed. If you’re interested in a more in depth discussion on sex and gender so you can avoid unscientific generalizations, I’m happy to engage.
