Some recent looks I've done for fun and practice, looking for constructive criticism

So my recent looks from the past week, id love some feedback on all of it! Most of this is pre-shower makeup and just for fun but I'd love to get better.

First look is a little mermaid themed look.

Second is a goth inspired purple look (I love purple)

Then we have a straight up zombie look

Fourth I was going for a kind of undead with vibe

Fifth is nothing specific just whimsy for the sake of whimsy

And sixth is a little sunset inspired look.

I'll add more details about my products and techniques in a moment!

Looking for a weave that will allow me to create a pentagram

Hi everyone, so I'm working on a new piece right now, its a relatively simple byzantine necklace with a few other bits added in to add some more character to it, but I'd really like to add a pentagram to it to really spice it up, but I have no idea what weave would work to give it enough structure to hold it together, just wondering if anyone has ideas on a weave that would allow something like this to work!

My second time doing goth makeup and a white base, looking for feedback and advice

So did a white base and goth makeup for the second time today and I'd really appreciate some feedback and advice on it.

There's a few areas I can definitely tell I can improve on already.

Mainly better blending on my contour, one side of the contour is also lower than the other.

Something I struggled with is getting my eyeliner clean when drawing it on top of the foundation, the white seemed to bleed through quite a lot.

Also struggling with keeping the foundation and powder on my eyelids, as it kept creasing and rubbing off extremely quickly, I'm guessing eyeshadow primer would help with this considerably.

I do think I did well on getting the base very even and not-patchy.

What do you think I did well and what should I improve on or do different next?

First time doing full goth make up and outfit, hows it looking?

Yes I forgot to button up my dress on the back we're just gonna ignore that okay

I dress heavily alternative most days but this was my first time pairing it with goth makeup as well, second time trying a white base as well, the first time went absolutely awful but I think that was due to the foundation I was using, that one seemed terrible and this one was so much better.

Open to feedback and advice on my look :)

Where (physical location) to come out to my mum (Melbourne)

Hi everyone. So finally taking that plunge and coming out to my mum, unfortunately there is a high chance it will not go well.

I am very close to my mum, and she is very important to me so I wish to do this in person rather than sending a letter or online in some way. With that said I know theres a risk of a bad reaction, her reaction won't be great in general I don't think it's just a matter of how bad it is. It might be a small upset, or could forever change our relationship, so I want to do this in public to prevent a bad reaction.

My plan is to meet somewhere for dinner with her, and I'm going to turn up fulling presenting as myself and let her see, and then talk through it. But I'm stuck on where to do this, ideally looking for a semi-private place where we can sit down and talk, but also still public in the event it doesn't go well.

Any suggestions on where to do so?

First time doing goth makeup... This shit is HARD

Just a disclaimer I'm not really looking for advice here! I have several friends who are very good at white bases and goth looks who are guiding me through this, I'm aware of where I'm going wrong and what I need to do to improve. Just sharing!

But wow this was so much harder than normal makeup, all the little imperfections are so much more obvious and it's so much more difficult to get all the patchy-ness out of all, and the blending in my countout was so much more difficult for the same reasons.

All in all though I don't think I did a bad job for a first ever time.

Dating and meeting people (Melbourne)

Im going to start this off with a quick disclaimer: I am not trying to use this subreddit for dating. Do not comment or message me with the intent of trying to meet or date me.

With that out the way, hi everyone! So pretty much, dating apps are going terribly, they are horrendous for my self esteem and generally extremely harmful for me, so I really need to get off them, but I still really want to be getting out there and meeting new people, and really want to find a partner.

Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations on where to go or what do in order to kinda just get out there and meet new people, or any kinda dating events? Also probably worth noting, im in my early 20s, wouldn't be interested in anyone in 30s or above. Bars and pubs are generally out of the question for me on account of being sober and getting overstimulated very easily.

So basically yeah how tf do I "get out there"

Getting any real progress with electrolysis feels impossible

Bit of a vent but also if you have advice I'll take it.

It just fucking feels so impossible that I'll ever get an progress towards hair removal like this.

Everywhere is either too expensive, booked out, or not taking new clients at all. Livemore is the only real place I can afford it at, but for an appointment time I can make, its nearly 3 months away. And even then I can barely afford to get it done. i've got extremely thick and dense hair and its going to take me so long to make progress and will be so fucking expensive.

I just dont know what to do. I feel so trapped with this, like I've got no option at all to ever make progress on hair removal.

Taking money out of my super to pay for electrolysis?

So just wondering if anyone possibly has experience with this? I'm in a bit of a tight spot where I cannot afford electrolysis right now, but I do have a very large super balance, well over triple the average for my age, and I have worked in superannuation and have a very good understanding of it, so I am comfortable making this withdrawal.

But im not quite sure if I can do this? I know it can be done for surgeries, like FSS or GRS, but does anyone know if electrolysis is on the table?
I have extremely thick and dense hair, so its likely going to take me far towards the longer side to get all my hair gone, by my estimates will be about 3.5k to get it all out.

Is there any creature from fiction larger than the leviathans from doctor who?

So for context, the leviathans are a creature from the book of the war, from the doctor who universe.

These creatures are up to 150 quadrillion light years long. Over 3.3 million times longer than what our universe is wide, living in the void between universes.

Fiction has many giant creatures, but most of the cap out at several galaxies large, some surpass this and are larger than universes, but this one, over 3 million times longer than our universe, iss there any creature from fiction that even compares to this?

(Loved trope) Characters are so absolutely beyond incomprehensibly large

The leviathans from Doctor who, which are 150,000,000,000,000,000 light years long. For context our universe is about 45 billion light years across, making the leviathans about 3.3 million times longer than out universe is wide.

Super Shenron from Dragon Ball. I don't know a confirmed size for him, but those are galaxies along side him. So beyond incomprehensibly large but still pales in comparison to the leviathans.

What other true giants are out there?

2 months on, and I wish I could bring myself to message him.

It was a complicated situation, a very complicated one. He didn't want to leave me but had to.
I know that sounds vague, but it would take me hours to type out the full situation. It's not a "if he wanted to, he would have" situation, believe me I wish it was because that would make it so much easier to end this and move on.

When he ended it, he ended it quickly, and I didn't get closure, that sucked, and I had move on without closure. But I haven't been able to move on without closure, and for me to move on now, I need closure. If I message him, he might respond and give me that closure, or he won't respond, and that will be my closure.

But when it ended, it ended with the door left slightly open, there is a chance in the future that we will be able to reconnect. When I first started considering messaging him to ask for closure I didn't do it because I didn't want to do anything that would make him uncomfortable, but I need to do this for my sake, and I don't believe it to be crossing a boundary for me to message him, again this might sound weird and vague, but the context behind this is so hard to explain, please just trust when I say this.

But now I don't want to message him because I've realised that if I do message him, things are over, the door is closed and will not open again.

I dont know if we ever will reconnect, but I loved him so much and so deeply, Im still holding onto that chance.
