@pettancow i am excited to test it out!!! it seems like such a perfect spoonie solution tbh. unlike eyelash glue where you have to GO GO GO DO IT PERFECT BEFORE IT DRIES, magnetic eyeliner actually works better if you let it dry down. then you can take your time mushing the magnets in just so.
this is NOT SUBTLE MAKEUP and YOU CAN TELL YOU'RE WEARING LASHES
however i think all fake lashes are going to be like that to varying degrees
i'm gonna keep them on for a bit to see how they wear, see if it bothers me to wear them for a few hours, stuff like that. so far, though, not bad!
so today's Adventures In Makeup (selfies, cw for eye contact) (first one looks weird because it was without flash/fill lighting from phone lol)
i think the magnetic eyeliner is going to work really well! especially if i can trim a bit on the ends. it doesn't want to stay magnetized at the tips but i think that's because those are two points where i haven't applied it as well. also you can squidge it back down as needed if it starts getting weird
@InspectorCaracal i always knew it was my lolita fashion destiny, i just didn't think i'd arrive at it in this way
me, 10 minutes ago: okay, as long as i'm careful, this magnetic eyeliner should be great! just don't get any in my actual eye, and -
my hand: oh in your actual eye? in your waterline? is that what you wanted? because that's where we're going!
anyway when i get this to work finally please only look at my left eye. thank you
anyway i try to not comment/boost bc it's not quite my place, but know that whenever you post about how spiro sucks, transfemmes, this cishet with pcos is in full agreement and nodding along to y'all all PREACH.
i mean it's not a horrible medication but it's one of those "side effects are not annoying enough to look for alternatives, but definitely annoying"
@alexandria it may seem and feel like you're making it worse, or not making any progress at all, but to just mix my metaphors freely here... it's the same thing as if you were in physical therapy recovering from an injury.
after one visit, things aren't magically fixed. that can be frustrating! it can feel like a waste of time. it can be tiring to have to do the exercises over and over.
but you're still doing it. you're still making progress. you're still getting better.
@alexandria sure, you're at an also unpleasant stage of things where you're rolling up your sleeves and pulling off the toilet tank cover and bracing yourself to muck around with stuff in there to see if you can fix it, or doing that and realizing you're going to need to call a plumber. i'm not going to say that you should be overjoyed to look up toilet plumbing diagnostic videos on youtube.
but it's important progress. you're on the path. you can be proud of walking it. :)
@alexandria i'm going to say yes, actually
the first step in overcoming any problem is recognizing it's a problem, right? it's like you're trying to find a water leak in your house somewhere. ignoring it is just going to mean it gets worse. you're at the stage where you're able to listen really quiet and search it out and you've finally gone "AHA! IT'S THE TOILET!".
the water leak isn't fixed *yet*, but you know there's a problem and you know where the problem is, so you *can* fix it now. :>
@alexandria hey, recognizing when your scumbag brain is being a shitty little liar is a very important step, and being able to correct is is something you can be proud of!
@wigglytuffitout That last point can't be emphasized enough. **IT'S HAPPENING NOW**. People got all up in arms about the racist webcam years ago, but what they don't realize is that that racist webcam's cousin is now making important decisions in areas like the court system or the housing system. And it's not much better about not being racist. If anything, it might just be a bit worse.
note: i think these are completely different snakes because there are too many of them in mgs. i am led to believe there is fully I'M TIRED OF THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING TIMELINE in effect
also i may have written snake ragging on otacon for having a fursona, but you know as soon as he comes home, he's going to stand in the doorway all gravel-voiced going HHHNGHN... COULD YOU... HELP ME MAKE MINE TOO PLEASE
and that's how the Diamond Dogs logo was born.
it's just snake's fursona.
trust me, Hideo Kojima called me up and told me all of this, despite the fact that i have never played a single mgs game
@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online @TomYote@yiff.life which metal gear solid game is that?
HHHNHNNGH... WHAT'S WITH ALL THESE... ANIMAL-PEOPLE....
"they're called furries, snake! it's a representation of a person and the animal they most identify with, called a fursona! they don't have to be mammals, they can be reptiles - called 'scalies' sometimes - and -"
OTACON....
"my fursona's a cute cat, with -"
OTACON, DID I ASK....
