The D-rings connecting the chain are being held on with some thread and a prayer, I’ll have to reinforce those. Not quite too sure how to do that. So if anyone else here has experience with that please let me know what the best method would be!
Buckled tall boots are vintage underground England and the rest are old demonia! I baby the underground England ones because they are quite old and are extremely difficult to find in the United States. They are by far my favorite pair of the bunch.
I see that it’s a rule not to post other’s photos so I must clarify: I did post these images to TikTok a while ago (which did gain some traction, so if you’ve seen these pics before that’s why) but these are indeed my photos, no karmafarming here.
Year is unknown to me, it was made in Guatemala. The darker yellow portions were originally gold. I have not seen another one like it ever, I wanted to find another for when this one starts to become unwearable from use.
I am the original owner. I don’t quite remember the year I got it. I bought it from a woman who owned a storefront in Southern California selling a lot of tokidoki merchandise, who knew Simone Legno personally.
It kills me that I can’t remember the name of her store, it was primarily other items (I don’t remember what) but had a small tokidoki section located near the back. I believe her store closed long ago at this point, but her tokidoki section was very cool.
TW for self harm and controversial political topics/ religion mentioned…
If I were to talk about what I’m experiencing to a therapist, would that be reported to law enforcement? I have not been physically harmed yet. There are no minors involved so CPS wouldn’t be involved, but I am disabled and unable to leave the situation.
The things I’m concerned would be reported are that I have been threatened with strange statements about acquiring weapons, there have been threats of suicide and performative (for lack of a better word) attempts of self harm to ‘prove a point’ in a way. And property has been destroyed. He drinks very heavily sometimes which is bad for obvious reasons, and smokes marijuana heavily which leads to psychotic episodes in him. When he’s psychotic it seems like he’s capable of absolutely anything.
I’m sure the police already know a bit, they are called and come out a lot. I don’t want any investigation or whatever to take place or for him to get in trouble I think that will just make things worse. Things have been going fine this past month but it goes downhill very quickly when things get bad, so there’s no predicting when it’ll get bad again.
His main triggers: his own hyperreligiosity (Christianity), Palestine, Israel, Trump, the police. Anything he dislikes and considers right wing (even if it isn’t necessarily, I cannot think of a good example right now).
He is very difficult to call the police on. It makes him worse, and he sees it as a betrayal because he sees them as evil. He hasn’t been genuinely arrested in a long time it’s just been 5150’s.
I don’t know what else to add that would be helpful, I can clarify anything if there’s any questions. I’m not super articulate at times and I apologize for that.
I’m not sure how well you all can tell with the image, but the triangle is slightly tilted too, so that adds to the awkwardness of the space.
I don’t have any patches right now that would fit the space properly. And I really don’t want to make or buy any new patches if it looks good as is.
Whether I leave it empty or not it’s still gonna look kind of funny, it’s about choosing what’s the least ugly at this point.
Any advice is appreciated, as well as constructive criticism on other aspects of the jacket.
I like the bold clashing patterns, the colors and just the general look. There’s lots of patterns and big accessories like bows, belts, etc. I’ve seen a LOT of posts and outfits like it, I’ve always just categorized it in my mind as Jessica Louise inspired, but kind of “trashier” for lack of a better word. But I’d like to know what it’s actually called (if it even has a name).
My skin is a neutral undertone and light, NARS reflecting foundation in the shade Lima is my perfect match for reference. The lighting in the photo is warm indoor lighting. The swatch was applied with the lipstick directly to my hand, no brush or fingers used.
This version of unicorn blood is the “velvet trap” bullet lipstick version as opposed to the liquid. The MAC lipstick only comes in one formula which is their matte bullet lipstick.
I heard that these two were possible dupes from several different online reviews and I was very excited. So I’m making this post in case anyone else saw those reviews and was expecting something similar.
Turns out they are quite different. The Chappell Roan collab looks like Mac Diva but darker and less saturated to me. Either way it is quite purple in comparison to Unicorn Blood. On the lips it looks a bit more purple than the swatch (at least on me). There is no brown to it at all.
It’s a beautiful color on its own but in comparison to Unicorn Blood it fails.
I don’t understand people and what they want and I feel like I’ll never be able to have any lasting relationships/friendships. I also don’t understand most “book smarts” types of topics like math no matter how hard I try so I’ll never get anywhere career-wise and I’ll always need assistance. I don’t know what to do with college because I struggle so much academically. I was in special ed for high school and did much better there because they were very accommodating but in a college setting it’s so much more difficult for me.
I don’t understand why people choose to be outright mean to me even though they can tell something’s wrong with me. I know I’m offputting I try SO HARD not to be. I can’t move correctly and I stim without realizing, I’ll always seem weird to people, I don’t speak normally people think either that I have an accent or they clock that I’m disabled right away…
The only romantic relationship I’ve had my partner was very emotionally manipulative and cruel to me. But the only reason I even know how bad it was is because people had to tell me. I’m so socially inept I couldn’t even tell what was really happening to me. I have two people I consider friends, I don’t understand how to talk to them though, or how to plan getting together. Because my only social skills I’ve retained are basically from elementary school, but that doesn’t work when you’re in your 20s. I get so nervous and upset talking to people especially over text and online so online friends are not an option. It’s even harder for me to read people over text.
I have a job, I’m a cashier. I do many other things in the store as well like stocking, etc. but I mainly work at the registers. When I talk to people at work they’re nice at first but I can tell when I start getting too annoying for them to want to deal with anymore. Sometimes people say sexually inappropriate things to me when I’m at the register and I don’t really understand it, I can tell what they’re saying is inappropriate later but I can’t really grasp what they mean in the moment.
Does anyone else have similar thoughts or experiences and what helped you feel better/what made life get better? I feel so bad all of the time.
