Need advice from experienced people

Is it okay to have your first time with a casual fling? So, I’m 20, I’ve never been in a relationship and I don’t think I want a serious one. I’ve never really fantasised about relationships, and when I think about having to let someone into my personal space, it feels like a huge burden.

When I was 14, I started to take an interest in sex, and the label ‘first time’ seemed so annoying to me. Some people said it hurt, others said it was special, but all I could see was the word ‘burden’. As a result, as a child, I came to a dangerous and wrong decision: ‘When I turn 18, I’ll get drunk, pass out, and let some lad do whatever he wants to me on my first time’ (thankfully, I realised that was wrong). However, my attitude towards the first time has largely remained the same.

I recently found out that there’s even a separate app for casual encounters aimed at LGBT+ people, and I thought: ‘Yes, maybe that’s an option.’

However, no matter how much I want this and no matter how much I think it’s the right decision, I’m still an inexperienced virgin and would like to hear the views of people with more experience. There’s no one in my circle who could give me any advice. To make matters worse, I suspect I’m probably a ‘top’ or a ‘versatile who tends to be a top’.

I spoke to a friend about my situation (without mentioning that I’m LGBT) and she told me to imagine going on dates, and that I’d then want a relationship; however, the only thing that makes me feel happy and excited is the idea of going on a trip with a girlfriend, staying in a hotel and having sex there. I realise that probably the only thing I want is, at most, a friend to have sex with. I’d be happy to give presents, go out for dinner, and give flowers, but I don’t want a relationship.

Of course, I admit that I could be very much mistaken. I’m young, inexperienced and, apparently, my blood’s boiling right now. I tried to start a relationship with a nice girl when I was 18, but then I realised I just wanted to take advantage of her and stopped myself. What advice can you give me? Is it worth getting into a relationship? Is it worth waiting?

Why does Kim Seo-lyum have Emoji Machine drawn on her face in fan art?

I often see these emojis drawn on him, but in the novel, I haven’t yet come across a part where these objects are used specifically on him.

They are often drawn during the arc when Brouwn brings him onto the show as a host.

Will there be a moment in the novel where these stickers are used specifically on Kim Soleum?

(I'm on chapter 130, but I don't mind a spoiler)

Looking for a fic about a suicidal Izuku

Izuku has a quirk that allows him to rewind time if he kills himself. He also enters the academy, but continues to be quirkless

I know there are tons of stories like this, but this fic stands out among them. As far as I remember, it wasn’t finished for a couple of years, but simply frozen, although the author didn’t write anything about it.

This story is distinguished by the arc of a sports festival. Izuku wins the sport festival and takes first place. He is proud of himself, but when he stands on the podium, Nedzu announces that he is the first quirkless student to achieve such success. Izuku runs away, locks himself in, and rewinds time. This time he asks Nedzu not to announce his status, goes up to the podium again, but Nedzu doesn’t listen to him. He rewinds time, hides, and cries that he can't. Finally, Nemuri, tired of his hysteria, activates her Quirk, and Izuku wakes up on a pedestal, covered in chains and handcuffs (like Bakugou). He cries and begs not to announce his status, but he can't say anything because his mouth is bound by a metal "muzzle". He tries again, and again, and again. For the last time, he sits in this toilet or closet, wearily extracting Aizawa's promise that his status won't be announced to the world. Aizawa promises him, and Izuku emerges from hiding. He returns to the podium again, Nedzu announces his status again, but this time Izuku doesn't cry, but only calmly, in deathly silence, accepts the medal.

And then there's a short scene where Aizawa scolds Nedzu and says he had no right to do that. That they made a promise to Izuku.

That's where the fic ended. The author didn't write any more. Maybe someone will recognize the chapter.

Could anyone help me with setting up brush?

CP 3.1.2

GP Wacom 1998-2024

I don’t use a graphics tablet very often, so I don’t have much experience with it.

Whenever I sit down to draw, I often run into the same problem: my lines come out too jagged. When it comes to objects that need to be drawn with a single solid line (cubes, circles, long lines) or showing the general shape of hair with a few lines, I have no problems, but when it comes to cheekbones, eyes, nose and lips, the lines become too jagged . The same applies to a simple line in a sketch (not the main line) to give, say, a stone clearer contours. The lines of the stone become jagged and look as if they’ve been drawn with a brush.

The only thing I’ve found that might help me to some extent is ‘stabilisation’, and that has actually helped me a little.

Perhaps it’s down to a lack of practice.

Perhaps the G-pen isn’t right for me and I should look for a different brush (though I have similar issues with others)

Perhaps it really is down to the settings
