Thank you so much nonny!

I prefer divinations from anons there more than those on 4chan /x/, that's why I'm asking here.

I have wanted to be an artist for years, but I don't know if it's worth it. It's really rough path for me and I don't know if I will make it. Should I will go for it or is there a different career path for me?
I'm Aries-Taurus cusp.

Any anon around willing to do a reading for me? Don't mind if it takes a few days.

A reading regarding my professional life would be so helpful right now as I’ve been looking for a job for ages and I have this very important interview in about a week! I’m a Scorpio sun, Aries rising and Aquarius moon. Thank you <3

Take this with a grain of salt as it's been a while since I've done readings in general but I've been interested in getting back into it:

Why are you drawn to this path/dream - 4 of wands
>Joy, harmony, homecoming
>Art is something that is almost "natural" for you, as in a sort of "happy place" from which you derive a lot of joy and peace.

What following this path/dream looks like - 9 of swords (r)
>Though it feels good to create, you will continue to be plagued with doubt.
>The cards are emphasizing that even if this spread was 100% positive, you would continue to second guess yourself.

How following this path/dream will affect you - king of cups (r)
>Moodiness, dealing with your innermost feelings/thoughts.
>Following art can lead to a lot of soul-searching and thus inner growth for you.

Hope your healing goes well and congratulations nonners

Kinda looks like an autopsy pic, I jumped from my seat

I had some mild tooth contouring done on my front teeth when I was a teen because I had slight mamelons. I unfortunately don't know how much it cost, but I can confirm that it doesn't hurt. It's not too different from getting your tooth drilled for a filling from what I recall.

>>205646
looks great yet painful nonny, hope you heal well!

The reasons you listed are pretty much the same reasons I had for getting a nose job - to fix the noticeable crookedness and remove the bump on my nose. The surgery was the first week of August and it's been about three weeks since the bruising faded completely. I feel so much happier with my appearance and just…relieved is kind of a weird word to choose, but it most closely matches how I feel. Growing up, my family always made cracks about my nose and how it didn't look like anyone else's. Now that it's been straightened and most of the bump removed, my nose looks like my mom's - just an average, normal nose.

For you, it might be best to just hold onto the money for now and wait until you're out of your parent's house to get it done. The first month or so after surgery, your face will be bruised, swollen, and you'll look like shit (or at least feel like you do.) The last thing you need while trying to recover are people constantly giving you grief about having it done, commenting on your recovery appearance, or just generally stressing you out.

Use this time to research the surgeons in your area and lookup recommendations on how to prepare for the surgery and recovery process. Most reputable surgeons will have been in practice for years already and will likely still be around when you're ready to have it done.

I'm the anon you were responding too, and you just described me. I know i'm ugly and I know when I re-enter the world all the ugliness I spat at people because I'm ugly, depressed and didn't care about myself will come back to me. I do wish I couldn't care, as much as I rag on Shayna or TIMs, I admire the lack of "Not giving a fuck" they have.
I want that. I sometimes wish I could say shit and not care, I wish I could be one of those unattractive girls with a heart of gold who talked her shit but didn't let anything get to them.
I feel like I attract scrotes in particular who know I feel bad about myself and I know women who are unattractive but have such an amazing aura, they attract all kinds of people.
I just want to be a better person, I want to not feel happiness when something goes wrong for someone, because I feel like shit. I don't want to be what I am, I'm trying and I know it'll never be enough to undo the years of shit I talked about other women. I don't think I deserve anything good. It's hard to not go back into, "You are a bad ugly person who deserves nothing, because you've said bad ugly things"
I wish I could undo it all. I'm sorry.

Don't victimize yourself now. The damage is done, it is what it is, but you can still change tomorrow. That is all that matters.

something about the way men are so rude to you when they don't find you attractive really gets to me. I don't even want them to be attracted to me, I just want to be treated like a human being.

>>206010
I love you.

>>206010
I feel you. Common courtesy is too much for men when it comes to ugly women, they resent their presence and make it known.

I put effort into my appearance mostly because of it. It's kinda like a carrot/stick thing, I don't care about the carrot (male attention, validation, compliments etc) but I'm scared af of the stick (being treated like shit just because of my looks).

I have really small breasts. It makes me feel weird. I have a babyface too, so I think I just feel like a kid. It'd be nice to look at my body and feel like an adult

>>205863
i have the same issue. my body looks pretty much the same as it did at 11 years old, just with more scars. what helps me is remembering i have grown and changed a lot since i was a child, that i have many responsibilities that adults have, and thinking about that progress while looking in the mirror. all around the world, there are tons of women with bodies like ours. they turned out fine, too.

>>205863
Same. I once posted a photo online (lol) because I was trying to decide if I should get implants, and a lot of people told me to wait, because they would grow since I'm a teen. I'm mid twenties though and my weight is stable so that's not going to happen. One time they got bigger for a week and I was so happy, but then they went back to their original size. I'm still considering implants tbh, just scared of the complications. I want to feel more feminine. Also, it tends to attract older men who are creepily into girls a lot younger than them and idk what to do with that.

I have slight innie nipples. No one I slept with ever pointed it out but I just noticed it was kind of weird, so I google imaged to see whether mine were an extreme case or normal.
The second top image result was a thumbnail for innie-nipple porn.
I fucking hate scrotes.

>>205863
Google clocked my nudes as cp. Feelsbadman.

god yes, he peaked during the rally days for me. Too bad he’s aging like milk, he used to be so handsome

>>198391
where is this from??

he makes me want to bark

>>205162
Not even saying this to be rude but I swear this guy is somewhere on the spectrum, him and reviewbrah. They both have the uber rare.. good form of male tism. The type that leads to nice content.

Your sister honestly sounds very immature and weird. If she's still doing it even after you've repeatedly moved out of the way, she's probably doing it on purpose. Have you tried asking her what her deal is? Does she not like you, is she just being an autist and doing it because "it's funny", maybe she's just trying to annoy you in a sibling way? Either way, you should directly confront her (preferably before she does it again and when you're both alone together) and ask her to stop doing this stupid shit.

>>205993
tell ur mom

>>205993
Tell your sister to stop and fuck off. Your sister sounds so childish. This is the behavior of a 5 year old, not a supposed adult. If she doesn't stop, loudly call her out whenever she does it, especially if your parents are in earshot. If she's going to act like a child, then she deserves to be scolded like one also.

>>205993
I would go the "quiet" route, like write her a note that if she needs to tell you something she can and that you both have to live there and that it's just horrible to be treated like that. After all you both want to live in peace and there must be something that is going on in her mind that she is behaving like an immature child.

>>205993
Have you tried telling her to stop and that she's an idiot?

>>205926
Seconding this. Which retinol by them?

Has anyone ever bought stuff like sheet masks, face masks, under eye masks, etc. off Aliexpress or other similar sites? I don't believe in the effectiveness of these type of products, whether they're $20 per lot or $1 per lot, but regardless they provide some extra moisture to the skin and they're relaxing more than anything (a placebo effect basically, people find comfort in routines). My question is if you have tried these insanely cheap ones, have they caused any problems to your skin?

has anyone tried this brand, ziaja? I keep seeing it on stores and the price is quite cheap, but I don't know if they're good products or not

>>205999
They have great stuff for the body but I find their skincare products have a too strong smell and not ao great ingredients.
Look up some of their stuff on incidecoder and if it has anything that could irritate your skin.

>>205994
I just bought some sheet masks off a site called (wait for it) masksheets.com. They came today so I tried one. I have to say, it was like being assaulted by a gigantic snail, the amount of goop all over my face. But I like using them because I'm A: living in a desert area and B: a lazy bastard. I have a routine I follow but there's nothing like a sheet mask to reinforce the hydration.

After covid restrictions got lifted here I went to a lesbian bar for the first time and it was really fun but I lost my purse and glasses at one point and the bartenders laughed at me for being dumb and I felt so embarrassed that I'm scared to ever go back even though that probably happens to a million girls every night.

Anyway, I suck at dancing but I got to dance with a beautiful girl grinding on me for a while so it was nice…

>>205846
I have a lesbian acquaintance who meets bisexual women at the bar and then immediately goes to their place, it always seemed really stupid and unsafe to me. One day she's going to get a big surprise.

>>205918
My city's lesbian bars have all closed. The only one still open is a cocktail bar owned by a lesbian but isn't exclusive to us. A lot of the LGB spaces got decimated by covid but I'm hoping they'll be back in the future.

>>205959
I'm sorry to hear, it really sucks how many lesbian bars have been closed. There are so few compared to gay bars, I feel like it really plays a part into why so many lesbians struggle to find people. We have so few spaces to safely meet each other.

>>205951
My hair is 2c near the scalp and 3a on ends and upper layers. It generally looks like Nicole Kidman's hair in picrel, texture, lenght and color-wise. Sounds like it's curlier than yours but I'll be grateful for any tips!
>>205955
I appreciate the advice anon. I figure hiding my curls via braids and updos may be the best soution for now.
As for my aesthetic, as a teenager I was 100% goth so you can imagine I hated my curly blonde hair with a passion and these days I go for the stereotypical scandi minimalist style with dark colors and geometric silhouettes that looks really good with a slicked back low bun or a blunt lob haircut (I know, I'm fucking boring lol)

>>205961
Here are my tips/methods nonna! I hope they work for you even if your hair is a bit curlier than mine (my hair is quite long too, so the extra weight might help me somewhat? It's always worth a try). The results vary, sometimes I'm left with almost straight hair and sometimes it just gives me waves, but they still look far more relaxed than my natural curls! I'm going to try my best to explain but it might end up sounding very autistic.

The first method is to do a simple braid down the back with wet hair. Sometimes I braid the hair after putting it in a tight ponytail, to keep the hair around my head especially straight. Tie the end of the braid like normal (where there's a little 'tail' of hair left at the bottom); as soon as the tail part is dry, untie the braid and retie it on the next section up. Wait for that part to dry and then repeat by retying above the next section, and keep going until the whole length of your hair is dry.
It can be quite time consuming, so I sometimes speed it up by tucking it in my shirt if I'm at my desk (I guess my body heat makes it dry faster?) or if the heating is on during winter I sit with my back to the radiator (I don't think its hot enough to cause heat damage, but I might be wrong lol).
This might not work for you if the little tail at the end of your braid dries just as curly as it usually does, but for me it manages to dry far straighter. Maybe it's because all of the hair is bunched together so it can't curl like it naturally does?
It's a really simple solution and I've never seen it written anywhere before (maybe im just retarded) but its my holy grail. It takes a while to dry completely, but the only thing you really have to do is braid it and move the hair tie up when that part dries.

The other way I get my hair straight(er) is by using jumbo hair rollers (mine are 60mm) and letting them air dry. I don't recommend it as much, because it takes far longer and sometimes they refuse to dry at all. If you're not against using hair dryer heat on your hair (or if you have a hair dryer with a heatless setting), that would definitely speed up the process! I've tried gradually unrolling each roller and letting the exposed bit of hair dry bit by bit, but it was somewhat painful to have 12 hair rollers hanging from my head and definitely not practical in any way. I've also managed to sleep in them Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Does anyone have experience going dark to blonde very gradually with highlights? I know going blonde is notoriously damaging but I'm not sure how much I could realistically prevent by doing it super slowly with olaplex treatments in between.

>>205995
I don't have any experience myself but I think doing multiple sessions of highlights instead of one intense one is a bad idea as you'd likely end up over processing the strands of hair that were already blonde after the first highlights, as you can't really pick exactly which strands to leave out during highlights. If you want to do it gradually imo it would be less damaging to get two all over bleaches, each lightening 2-4 levels, as then each hair strand would be getting the right amount of processing

>>205991
Wow, that's a lot of tips anon! There's so much advice online how to define your curls, but not enough on how to relax them sans heat, so it's all valuable info to me. Thank you for writing it all out.
