I think what Pierce The Veil does a great job at doing is addressing a super wide range of topics and being able to represent them so well and accurately thorough their lyrics, so I’m just curious to know what lyrics or song you guys relate to the most and why? Lettt me knowww!

One of mine might be The First Punch. At first it seems like a pretty shallow song, but I think that’s what makes it carries depth to it. Aha I hope you find peace with it at some point. I interpreted it in a way that kind of illustrates what it’s like to be someone who’s confident and strong on the exterior, but actually struggles with self worth and insecurity alone and relies on external relationships and stuff to cope/fill that kind of void. That’s how I see it though.

Another one might be Phantom Power and Ludicrous Speed, as someone who tends to be their own worst enemy haha, I think it depicts that internal struggle really well.

Probably Bulls in the Bronx too and it’s pretty self explanatory lmaooo

As a middle eastern girl with very high contrasting features, I’ve always found makeup difficult. I’ve mastered a bunch of techniques and styles. but whatever I do, I always just kinda look the same, even when I’m going for a different look. I just always look kind of glammed and can’t give anything other than that. I want to do natural, ethereal makeup but it doesn’t give what I want it to give when I do. Please help!!

I just poured her new water and immediately started scooping it out. She won’t stop even when I pull her away. She usually does actually prefer to drink k out of a bowl than in a fountain but for some reason is doing this. Please let me know.

She’s been in my wishlist for the longestttt and since this season came out I’ve been suspecting that she may come back to the item shop soon, since Frosted Flats has the Frosdeez shop and that her skin is kind of summer themed? I don’t know, I’ve been looking at FNBR pretty often to see but I never see her on the predictions either. let me know!

When my cat was a young kitten, she was extremely clingy and that was why I had gotten her. She seemed to had latched on to me. She was always sleeping with me, sleeping with me in bed, loving pets and scratches, purring etc. now, when I offer my ham to pet her she usually walks or trots away, she mainly likes to sit alone and stare at the window and doesn’t really like physical interaction. I’m not saying I want to be able to touch her, EVN if she doesn’t like it— but, I’m concerned that there’s a reason she may not want to be around anymore. I thought clingy cats typically grow up staying clingy, I didn’t know they outgrow it. I just want to know if she’s getting older or is resenting me.

My kitten who’s about 10-11 months old drinks a good amount of water from her still water bowls. I keep a sensored water fountain in the room she sleeps in and also drinks from it. I was just wondering if it’s worth getting more fountains since I’ve heard that cats are more encouraged to drinking running water. Just wondering, thanks!

Hey all, sorry if this question might be dumb or obvious but I’m just wanting to ask here out of genuine curiosity. I’ve been getting into alternative culture and have wondered this for a while.

In a lot of cases, women typically get work done on their face or bodies which lean toward some kind of beauty standard, AKA fillers for fuller lips, rhinoplasty for a straight nose, and shots for porcelain skin. I wonder that if these can be life changing and confidence-boosting for so many, does it always or ever fall under the category of a conformist mindset or feed into the patriarchy where men create beauty standards for women? As someone who hasn’t been confident my whole life and always felt like I was a super ugly person, I never really took into account the compliments or kind words I’ve received from people. I appreciated it, but I never really connected or received it, because I wanted something bigger for myself.

Additionally, when it comes to the conversation of cosmetic enhancements/surgery, there are always two groups of people who are going to have two opposing opinions:

1. “Please don’t, you’re already so beautiful and don’t even need it!”
2. “It would look pretty cool, do what you want with your body.”

Honestly, neither of these parties have convinced my personal opinion on what I want or how I feel about myself. With goth and alternative culture being strong and all about anti conformity. However, I feel like there are a large amount of people out there who are motivated to get stuff done solely for themselves. With that being said, I’m going to ask again: Is cosmetic surgery or enhancement anti goth/alternative?

I’m just interested in having a discussion and understanding more about the history and culture :)

A lot has popped up about the state of the world for me. I keep seeing things online about how life is a dream, and how babies are being sold online, how we’re being blinded etc, I won’t get too deep into it. I just wanted to share how it’s really been affecting me and been giving me so my anxiety, as well as a sense of impending doom. I personally am at a decent state of life right now, so I feel like I should be happy but feel so anxious and scared. I just wanted to feel better.

I’m 17 and had a septo + rhinoplasty last week, and wanted to share things I wish I knew going into my first ever surgery.

1. anticipation is worse than the process of the surgery. It will not be that bad, and you won’t feel or remember a thing. I was absolutely terrified going into my first surgery. I’ve never been a tolerant person, I’m sensitive! But, I did the surgery because I really wanted a new nose. The only thing I felt before getting knocked out was the iv going into my hand. That’s it. After that, I woke up and the surgery was done.

2. recovery is very much a mental process as well. The only thing that made my recovery so difficult mentally was because I didn’t know when or how I would start to feel better. However, each day I noticed myself getting better in multiple aspects. It’s good to keep in mind that recovery is just a small blip in life, and that you will soon be back to normality again.

3. recovery for everyone is definitely from a surgeon to surgeon, as well as a person to person basis. Here is what I experienced within the span of a week: difficulty swallowing, teeth ache, pressure in ears, pleghm, feeling of lack of oxygen, dry mouth, back/neck pain, and sore throat. This is all from either the breathing tube, blocked nose, or sleeping protocol. Not all of these symptoms occur to everyone, but this is what I dealt with and would advise people to take this into account! However, I will say, don’t let this stop you from doing the surgery. Like I said, you WILL recover and be normal again after a short time.

4. have your first look at your nose taking into the account that it’s swollen. Your nose when you first take off the cast might not be at its official shape when you look at it, full recovery from swelling takes up to a year and sometimes more! Take it easy and remind yourself that it’s not the final result if you’re feeling doubtful.

5)understand that your body is recovering from a major surgery and working with strong meds. Don’t rush yourself to recover, it often makes your worse or more tired. Give yourself at least a week or two to get back on your feet.

6. DRINK COLD WATER, AND DRINK WARM SOUP. these really got me through my dry mouth and sore throat from the sleeping as well as the scratchy throat from the breathing tube.

7. ice forehead to reduce excessive bleeding if so. ice eyes and cheeks to help reduce swelling and bruising as well, I promise it makes a huge difference.

I hope this helps anyone get through their recovery and feel a little better. If anyone has more questions I’d love to answer and wish you all well! I just want to remind anyone worried or going through a hard time recovering as someone with an immense amount of anxiety, that this IS just a blip, and you will be better as soon as you know it. Give yourself time and RELAX.

I’m 17 and just had my rhinoplasty, which is my first ever surgery. The surgery thankfully went well, and I’m 4 days post op! My healing and recovery has been quite difficult but I’ve been recovering gradually, and I’ve have pretty minimal bruising which I’m glad about.

I wanted to post on here to talk about my fears, because I’ve been having a lot of anxiety regarding taking out my cast and stitches soon. I’m going to remove them in about 3 days. I’m so scared of the removal hurting. And I’m terrified of feeling it. I get scared when I have to clean my nose/stitches every day and get slightly light headed. I really just want to be reassured that it will be fine and quick and hopefully painless. Please let me know!

So I’m 17 and this (septo) rhinoplasty is going to be my first surgery. One of the things that I’m having the most anxiety about is how my skin will react to the whole recovery process. I’ve been informed by my doctors that I’m going to need to take augmentine for a week. I’ve done some brief research and found out that antibiotics can sometimes cause breakouts? The other thing is about the not being able to wash my face + trapped oil and ruined skin barrier under my tapes/cast.

Growing up, I’ve always had good skin. As long as I took good care of it, it stayed healthy and clear. However, I do occasionally get pretty bad hormonal acne, stubborn bumps, or clogged pores. Usually, I pop them or cleanse my skin aggressively, but I can’t do that once I get my nose done.

I deal with a lot of anxiety, so I’ve been spiraling about this for a while. I just want to know if this is a common or severe case, if this happens to a lot of people, or if there’s any way I can prevent it. Thanks for your time !

My cat is about 9-10 months old. Shes been on a full wet diet and eating ziwi peak. My parents and I have tried to control the really strong smell of her food and poop but are considering switching her food to dry.

My cat’s a grazer and likes to eat her food in increments, so sometimes she leaves her food to stink up a few hours. Her poops also smell really strong (her anal glands etc are fine). And yes, I use stainless steel litter boxes.

She’s a full time indoor cat and when i spoke to my vet, he advised that dry food had a lot of carbs and is less nutritious + triggers weight gain in cats. I also know that it’s not hydrating the way wet food is.

She doesn’t eat a lot/isnt food motivated so I don’t think the “not filling compares to wet food” factor of dry food would impact her, but I may be wrong.

I was wondering if anyone had good dry food that could be better than other typical dry foods and give her the same benefits she does from wet food for the most part. What i also want to do is mix dry food in with water and bone broth for hydration.

I just want advice because I rarely ever get wins. I don’t think I’m bat at the game, and I wouldn’t say that I’m bad at 1v1 fights either so I don’t think that’s the case. It’s just that whenever I get to the top 5-10 I get ambushed/panic and sell the game. How do I get BETTER

WOW. I have never seen such a toxic community when it comes to og/original culture. Literally every time I see an old skin come back to the shop, I see a billion complaints about how “they should have kept it og” “they need to make an og version” and comments along those lines.

People are such gatekeepers and I genuinely don’t know why. I get the feeling of being one of the earliest generations to be part of a beloved game, I understand, but it’s neverrrrr that deep no fandom or game community acts as toxic/insufferable towards other people who just want to enjoy the game.

I’m not talking about this because it affects me or because I’m offended since I’m not really an og, but i can’t describe it any other way than just saying that this culture and behavior is just sooo weird.

My cats 10 months old and peed on my bed for the second time. She was checked for urinary issues and was said to be completely fine so it was probably behavioral. She was spayed. People I’ve spoken to think she’s doing this because I’ve restricted her from full access to the house 24/7 since she stained one of my parents silk benches and that this may be stress induced. I’m 17 and fully responsible for her in my parents house and cannot live with the guilt of having my parents go through so much trouble trying to make things work for her with so much expensive furniture around the house because i just wanted a cat. I feel disgusting because of the stress and money my parents have spent while my cat cries and just wants full access to the house. My life was going so well this past week but my mood did a 180 when this happened. I feel horrible that I’ve put both my cat and parents in such terrible positions because im spoiled and selfish. I’m not in the mental state for this and am genuinely at my last straw begging for a reason to try and fix things. Please help
