Right? The lips are.so bad. I still want one for my inner child. I haven't given into these reveal gimmicks yet and I don't intend to start now but this came close.

I see a family photo. New employee lost her mind when I tossed something with precision into the trash. I'm blind. She was not prepared for that. The irony is I had to master it to make it to adulthood so I did. Merica

Not how it works for the narcissist. My mother who is diagnosed tried to be one for a time. She couldn't act lovingly enough and she was unable to cope with auditions. Made worse with the "but your daughter can read since she's here right?" Me being confused because I was just there because it was demanded of me and as a minor I couldn't say no. I got the part she wanted. I didn't get to take it and she beat me up for it. It's either all adoration or it's not enough. Even then that's not enough either. Many actors are probably somewhat narcissistic but it's really hard work and a lot of rejection so I don't think they're diagnosable

My mother is also diagnosed. You are not alone and you have my condolences

Oh more than that..mine tried to do it but joke was on her. My ex husband secretly cancelled the order for my dress. Morning of I sewed two dresses from free cycle into one (cuz it's what I could manage). I didn't look like I wanted but we didn't match and I still looked better. Not all people who have children are good people

It counts on publication in my personal opinion because I can point at it tangibly. Doesn't matter if it's read. It is written and published. While I wouldn't choose your publication path it is that. So... Yep you're an author.

Step father needs to replace the items if you want that. It's valid to be upset..I would be gutted too

Lucid dreamer here and those are the ones that I cannot fully control. So you are correct. I have fun dreams fighting demons but it's not scary because I chose to do it

No. I am not afraid of spiders and they're a horror feature of my current work. My friends who are have given it praise for being scary. I write using psychology and that covers the things I'm not afraid of. I'm not afraid of much. Been through too much to be reactive to a story. I find them comforting though

His arm muscles are weird. AI often butchers anatomy in this way adding extra bulges (I blame Rob Liefield)

Okay I am going to be blunt. Stop pushing your daughter to respect her father. Let her hate his neglectful ass. Both of you need therapy and she needs to not have this pressure to accept if he comes around because it's not actually good for her. Reality is he doesn't want her. You do. So stop pretending this is healthy. Do you want her to repeat this relationship in the future? Intergenerational things happen because a parent lacks the coping skills and thus cannot teach them and so the pattern begins.

You clearly love your child. So love yourself too. You made that person. Therapy will help with a lot of this but stop giving this worthless man your energy. Stop giving her energy to him. You don't owe him shit. So choose yourself. Build a life without him and let her have a say if he turns up wanting a relationship before he bails again if he gets that chance. I was 8 when I disowned my grandmother and my father. I never regretted that. I regretted being pressured into pretending they cared and doing what they wanted. The worst day of my life exists because of that pressure. That is entirely my father's fault

It boggles my mind you would behave this way when he told you he would take your child away. Why does he get any benefit of the doubt? Why would you risk contact at all? Why are you making time and space for him he hasn't asked for and didn't earn? You deserve compassion and I really hope you can hear me

I do similar things. Clothing style, taste in music, food, and many other paths exist to do this. Why does my current wip protagonist love pomegranate? It's why she got to try it and who gave it to her. Made it a richer experience. Why does she end up wearing black when she finally decides to style herself? She's embracing the role she fell into and it makes her feel confident. Why does she like cello music? Her husband was a gifted cellist. Was.

YTA. I understand not wanting to feel guilty but you also shouldn't have been using. Please get professional help navigating this. It's complicated but in the end you kept doing this despite it being something you clearly know is wrong

I did not recognize Absolute WW or AbZat

I wait until they are out to feel. Hopefully good. We'll see

It was weird then too

You tell them you want Henrik to stay with all his skin cancer (he makes my brain paranoid about skin cancer because I am paler and he needs to wear sunblock damn it )

This is valid. I have OCD and this is the hard to word part but you should talk to him about this. I can't take the meds but I can deploy coping skills. I'm not hostage to the OCD unless I allow it. This path is painful and hard and my wife has had to sit me down and go "So you're being horrible and I don't think you know it. What's up?" Then we talked about it and often I go back to therapy because it means the coping skills aren't sufficient for this and that's normal

Yes. I actually have a secret cameo of my wip characters in a shirt that was published a few years ago. Totally different setting but it's them. Cowboy himbo twonks doing good things

Gas x, a cat gun (shoots soft balls and runs about two to five dollars. Invaluable for making them run away), the pillow is vital, and the rest is good prep.

My cat put me in the ER with his jumping on my belly. I fended him off for days but a week from my surgery (four days at home) he landed on my belly and ruptured things. Obviously bad. He hasn't in the years since jumped onto my belly and it took 3 and a half years for him to touch it willingly so it was traumatic for us both. He is a good baby but he's also huge and he didn't understand what was wrong with my tummy. Until he ripped my stitches. I healed great but I could have done without 20lbs of cat. It was the one time I had no pillow protector.

He is not Maine Coon just random void that broke into my home and has been cuddling me since.

Czernobog for the cat tax. He is ridiculously strong and big. I am six four and be can fit my entire wrist in his mouth. Just look at his paw on my wrist.

You posted for attention then? Also I would have a bigger issue with his verbal abuse than his texting someone. Hopefully you talked about that. Not snark either. Why did you post if you won't actually answer things? You put your business here. Not us. I don't judge as a rule but I do voice concern about this behavior and hope that the abusive aspects didn't come again. The reality is red flags are individually not always deal breakers. Pile those bad boys up and assess periodically (ideally with therapy).

This. Also different lighting. This is the shit that harms people and it's unnecessary to put women into opposition in this way

Your friends are sexist. No it's not wrong. It's not like it's specifically gendered in reality and while the sacred feminine is a factor in Carna it's not women exclusive.

This is why we didn't get color episodes. The cost was too great to remake the house!

My surgeon helped me remove them at two weeks. My skin didn't want to let go. I have vascular Ehlers Danlos and an adhesive allergy so this was painful and took much flesh but also I had to have the dressings for safety so it can suck but check with your team you may need more time or their care doing something here or you can wash them off in the shower (I recommend a skin safe adhesive remover for those not melded with the adhesive)
