My husbando has literally zero merch, I was kinda bummed out at first but having to be creative in making my own stuff or buying little things that remind me of him just means my own collection is unique and more personalized.

>>391480
My husbando is rare and has no merch at all, so I'm gonna make a notebook page on my phone with pictures of him, AI art I generated of him, and PNGs representing some aspects of him, both canon and my headcanons. I also already made a playlist that reminds me of him, us or he'd listen to and I had tons of fun making it.

I don't really feel connected to the culture of my region, nor country or even family.
Kind of tiring to vent to other mixed people in mainstream spaces and receiving "but we have more than one culture, isn't that cool?" No, maybe for you, but not for me.

I'm mixed but look completely white, to the point people will accuse me of lying when I say I have Asian origin. When I was about 6/7 I used to get picked on at school for having mendhi on my hands after Eid but then when mendhi became popular with white girls the SA girls treated me like I was a cultural appropriator. I know that having pale skin is a privilege but I do sometimes wish I looked at least plausibly Asian instead of being caught in between.

They’re either in ghetto reality shows or as race swaps, for easier rage bait marketing. it’s a bad time to be black/black-adjacent

>>383253
Why is AI being used for evil purposes?

>>383320
No need for klan mentality. As long as you fuck white, your kids will be alright. It’s POC, especially black people who will suffer in the coming decades. Nerds are getting their lick back(racebaiting)

>>387988
aw, i'm sorry nonna. i cannot see that being the case to be honest, because it sounds like a very radical change. the randos at your job not making weird small talk might be society changing in many places and that being seen as rude.

>>382990
as someone who has the same phenotype as zendaya, i'm tired of people acting as if she gets treated the same way as monoracial black women do when she clearly looks mixed and gets treated accordingly. the one drop rule in the us is crazy and it's interesting to see how big of a contrast it is compared to the way race is seen in brazil. and i'm not trying to ~distance her from her blackness~ or anything, it's just that she wouldn't be seen as a black woman in the country i have grown up in (not brazil) because she looks stereotypically mixed. and that's a big part of being mixed, your appearance, at least in my experience how you look and how the world treats you according to that.

Thoughts on those custom ring makers? I've been eyeing this site called custommade.com but I'm kind of skeptical and wondering if there's some sort of catch, anyone have experience with these sorts of companies? I have a fair idea of what I want in terms of the type of stone(s), settings, etc. but I'm struggling to find concrete inspiration that fits all my preferences. The idea of having some sort of unique personal motif also compels me.
Regardless of quality I do love browsing their finished products though because you'll see all sorts of dorky stuff that people have requested. On one hand, the idea of tying my engagement ring to some mass media franchise disgusts me, but I also see the charm in these sperg couples being able to capture the essence of their autism. Some of the more subtle ones can be quite nicely translated too.

>>391403
I also get a kick out of their cringy descriptions that try to reference whatever inane thing the couple based their ring on. Honestly as someone who doesn't know anything about SAO I wouldn't clock this as a weeb creation, it's a nice design.

>>391403
yeah I think fandom engagement rings are cringy in the same way fandom tattoos are but those are really well done

>>391403
A goldsmith is able to make the custom ring of your dreams and able to help you design it. There's no reason to resort to a website like this.

>>390066
>she doesn't know what moissanite is
anon please…99% of people don't even know what diamond looks like.

Nonnies I found my custom bodice pattern blocks from when I was in school and the toile made from them and it still fits! I've been putting off projects because I didn't want to remake the blocks/slopers. The way we learned it was with the Natalie Bray books and we found them hard to follow in class without a lot of instruction, so I was dreading it. I still need to draft a sleeve but I'm glad I don't have to completely restart.

>>388977
I don't have the exact model in that post but another from that line, I believe it's the 4452. For readily available domestics they're pretty good, I have used mine regularly for about 8 years now. Keep in mind the Heavy Duty part of the name just refers to all the moving parts being made of metal, not plastic. It isn't comparable to a true industrial or anything like that. It did struggle a bit when I tried to sew through four layers of canvas, so I wouldn't say it's incredibly strong.
I like it alright for sewing knits and other stretches, the thing I hate the most about it is that I can never get the buttonhole foot to work properly. That said, I did drop it in a parking lot 5 years ago and other than the plastic case being a little wonky it still works fine.

If you actually want a machine that lasts at a similar price point you're better off getting a vintage machine. Like a Singer Featherweight or 401A. I know many people love Juki but I have limited experience with them so can't say too much, but something else for you to investigate. I would avoid Brother unless you really like quilting or sew small things like doll clothes.

>>391211
Same anon as above and I take back featherweights being affordable kek. I had only seen them at estate sales or thrift shops so I was completely wrong.

>>391211
AYRT thank you for your insight nonny! I still consider one of them though I'm still looking for different options before I'll set on getting a certain model. I actually already own a vintage 800 series singer clone which serves me well and has basic functions I need but I need some more functions that more modern machines have. It's mostly for buttonholes and blind hems, also as an backup machine when I'll have my main one serviced.

>I would avoid Brother unless you really like quilting or sew small things like doll clothes.
Why? I found one simple computerized brother machine that got good reviews and has everything I need (5 types of automatic buttonholes, blind hem stitch, overlock stitch plus some really fun decorative stitches that would be fun to use with a wing needle) and I'm partial to it though one of these simple new singers would definitely last longer.

>>391239
Which Brother model are you looking at Nona? I generally dissuade people from going down the brother route as I find their basic machines to be heavy on features but light on practical use. Yes it may have 40+ different stitches but practically you only need like three of them, so it feels like you're paying for the novelty rather than anything actually useful.
Don't get me wrong, I think for a casual hobbyist it is a perfectly fine machine, but for something that sees regular use and will be sewing anything heavier than a circle skirt they tend to struggle. It's the brand I have consistently had issues with that I couldn't troubleshoot my way through.

>>390937
No, I don't. He is just a guy.

was watching old youtube videos and damn, howard stern didn't look half bad in the late 80s, especially without the glasses

>>390987
Omg yes Aphex Twin is delicious

>>391266
happy avril 14th !!>>391266

Ive helped to improve my father’s business and we had an increase of 25k in profits this year! He has made me a partner and is teaching me more and more about running the business.

I just got accepted into medical school and I'm so happy.

>>388847
Congrats nonnie!! Make sure to spend the first few years well and socialize a lot because it gets harder in the later years of med

friend and i got a coomerblog shadowbanned on neocities. felt good.

>>379555
Late response but kek I have the opposite problem, super short torso / long legs and everyone thinks I’m so much taller than my stunningly average height of 5’5”

>>381668
that sounds like the opposite of a problem.

>>381668
I am tall, have a long ass torso and short fat legs. Why does god hate me? Kek

>>379100
I love this post so much! I’m 4’9/4’10 and always short growing up. I sometimes get tease about in middle school/high school, but my personality and art talent shines through. Now I’m in college and it’s a little intimidating but I’ll get there!

>>379294
Secretly? The short women I know are pretty vocal about admiring tall women. The vitriol tall women have toward short women is incited by moids, I don't know why people fall for it.

>>391034
Hopefully you never act on it, so many couples that pursue that lifestyle always end up being contempt towards each other. Balance of both is always the best option for a successful future. Some things are best left as a idea you roll around in your head.

>>391053
Most successful relationships, even lesbian relationships, have some kind of power imbalance. Like, one makes more money or is more physically attractive or is more independent or more dominant in bed.

>>391067
? This is such a weird thing to assert. I mean statistically speaking, sure, no couple is ever going to be perfectly matched in every single attribute a human can have but I'm sure that's not what the ayrt was saying

>>390969
>>391034
Every now and then, this works out really well, but it also has the chance of going bad. While I’ve never been in this type of relationship, it has the same pros and cons as the straight version. There’s still a chance that the breadwinner might leave the housewife, and she’s completely fucked. It’s worse when it happens with lesbians in my area, cause these women often don’t have accepting families to go back to, so they end up in a shitty situation. But I’d be lying if I said it turns out bad like that every time, I know two women in a relationship like this, and they’ve been married for 10 years.

>>390641
I’m the person who originally posted that question. I’m also the person who likes the ftm. I watched the video I think last night I moved up more into a level 5-6 with her, but I can’t tell if she actually reciprocated or not.

>>389703
My ex was a redpill tard who fell for the ‘men who eat pussy are gay and effeminate’ scrote meme. So glad I left his lame ass. My new Nigel literally went down on me without being asked.

>>389823
Do you really think so? I was willing to believe it because I have seen proof of women who forgo their own pleasure like a moid in the past who had scratch mark scars all over his back from his ex who he would just do missionary for like 3 minutes with. And every ex I had had to be trained on how to eat pussy but that could have just been weaponized incompetence to try and get out of doing it. My last ex seemed enthusiastic though and said that he wanted to learn but his ex girlfriends weren’t into it kek. Whatever colorful sexual pasts and stories will never affect my willingness to do degrading things or forgo things that I like. I recommend every woman build her self esteem so that she doesn’t fall into doubting herself when the stories of the exes get told. Just because a moid did something degrading with another ex doesn’t mean you have to stoop to that level to do it too. A lot of women really hate themselves given how they fall into abuse/rape kinks.

I dated a fat moid who blew up to 350 lbs during the course of the relationship. He was circumcised and it ruined the sensitivity of his penis, so he was really weird about "hitting" certain parts, and after we had sex he would often immediately talk about how it "rubbed the good part", which I found incredibly strange and selfish. His idea of initiating sex was walking into the living room butt naked and pointing at his flaccid penis. He decided to grow a disgusting beard and it kept irritating my pussy, which I told him about several times, but somehow he didn't take the hint to SHAVE. He would complain when it took me a long time to cum from oral sex, but the reason why was always because he did it poorly until the very end, and didn't listen to my clear instructions. When he looked up at me while licking me his eyes looked really ugly and creepy lol. I have a foot fetish but couldn't do shit with his feet because he seldom cut his toenails and always had dirty soles at home. So fucking disgusting. One time I was giving him head and I stopped after 20 seconds because his groin smelled rotten. He had some kind of rash caused by being disgustingly obese, and when I told him, he didn't take it seriously. He's the only man I've ever had to use lube with because I never truly felt aroused around him. He kept saying that he was good at sex, when it was painfully obvious that he was subpar. He didn't act like he appreciated my body enough even though I'm significantly more attractive than him. Don't date fat or ugly moids, they will use you like a trophy in public and then try to destroy your self esteem behind closed doors.
Another guy I dated was great at sex but had multiple weird fetishes and sent me cringey voice messages where he spoke about being kicked in the balls etc. in a baby voice. There was another guy I briefly dated who would sit in his desk chair naked after sex and his flaccid penis "melted" into his ballsack, it looked so god damn funny. One time he asked if he could give me head, and said, "trust me, I really like doing this," and proceeded to give me the most mediocre head ever and didn't even come close to making me cum. He had sleep apnea because of his recessed jaw which he hid under a beard, and it felt like I was laying next to a dying person when I slept over, because of the sound of his CPAP machine.
When I was a teenager a 27 year old sociopath with erectile dysfunction who groomed me gave me head and it caused a yeast inPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

girl are you ok? I'm worried about you

>>390991
Nonna… please get help.

Some designers never sewed anything in their life and it's so frustrating that women with a good education have to work with moids that don't know anything about the craft. Throughout my education there were 97% women and the 3% men were migrants from Syria and similar countries, sewing since they were 5 years old or gay men. And every time a man would appear in a group everyone was like "oh, how amazing, a moid that is sewing, oh, how creative he is, how strong he is that he is among all those women and look what he has done, how good he is." It's just bullshit as it's been a job for men all those years before and now we celebrate them for doing stuff their ancestors thought that was below them.
I've always said that if I would want an independent career in the fashion industry I would use my male sibling as the person who created and did everything, being in the public eye, getting all the attention because I know, if people think he is the one who did all of it, it would be so much easier to achieve something.

>>389367
not to continue bumping an old subject, but yes I agree. Also the book is filled with constant mythical allusions, nymphs being just the start, and I'm pretty sure he took the name's genesis as you described to invert (or pervert, at least from a western straitlaced christian perspective switching to the at that time 'pagan' exotic spiritual view) from Dolores, Our Lady of Sorrows to the Hindu goddess Lalita.

Anyway, the real irony is that in the book she dresses like a total tomboy, not at all the lolishit that's been popularised in its wake

Agreeing with everything about moid designers and shit tailoring.

Reminds me of the mirror palais designer, he gets all the accolades for uninspired repros of shit we've all seen before and then upcharges a fortune for 100% viscose. But instead of taking the money and criticism silently, he snaps back at customers and tries to convince morons that it's worth every penny.

Picrel is a £1000 pound dress that in any other era would be an undergarment, with the hideous prefab bra cups that fit no woman and with the lace cut deep enough that nipple will always be exposed. Thanks fags, every woman wants to drop a band on a nightdress of lower quality than La Perla and wear it outside. For a mere £1400 you can buy the same shit in all black lace. At least the hookers in pretty woman could show there asses on the sidewalk on a budget.

I still remember a weird fascist dogwhistle tiktok from mirror palais captioned "Argentina, 1946" and when people questioned it he told them to fuck off and that it was because the background song was argentinian from the 40s… ok.

I really love Dion Lee for this. The style might not be to everyone’s taste but the way the clothes fit you can tell he actually understands the female body.

I just found out Roberto Cavalli died. It makes me so sad that all of the fashion legends are dying. RIP.
