the thing is though I don't have a specific style. I just sorta randomly draw and that time it came out that way. most of my digital stuff at least is all over the place. at least with charcoal I have this process where I just cover the entire pace and then erase and redraw till I have a pretty nice drawing that I finish with some white charcoal.

I think I'm going to start a new run of Costume Quest 2 later. I have three acheevos left.
I guess the pink nose and dot eyes are similar between those two pics and actually the one I was going to do for a game too. maaaybe i'll try to do it purposely next time
personally I would do something like "I was sorta hoping for something more casual and I'm don't think I can be the person you're looking for." and end it at that but what you did sounds a lot harder for her to argue with and a lot more straight forward. I approve
Yep, after just one date.
well that escalated quickly
it sounds a bit harsh but I don't know what all was said on her end. If her only crime is sending too many texts when I'm not feeling it I'd have been a bit gentler.
I don't know. It's such a melodramatic exchange to begin with (and we're missing the context of how it built to this point). I probably would have handled it more quietly. But there's no way she can argue with your last text so I suppose mission accomplished.
That part is a bit much after one date
it sounds like he brought that up to her and she tried to shame him and then play the sympathy card with her dead grandmother which is pretty manipulative and not worth dealing with
if I just said that to someone I'd be up all night worrying about how bad I just made her feel and I'd probably end up reaching out again (even though I wasn't interested in a relationship) just to try and tidy things up.. But I'm like that
oh I had missed that part. yes she sounds realllly clingy and possibly crazy. That's a very odd thing to say after one date.
But still I'd try to have gotten out a bit more neatly if it was me

Furniture is one of the things I splurge on. If I can't feel good sitting/lying down then I don't want to live.
Damn, she pulled the dead grandma card on you. Dodged a bullet.

Ever wonder if you're someone else' bullet? (just people in general, not you specifically)
It's something I think about sometimes. Either there's not someone for everyone and these bullets people dodge are going to eventually hurt someone, or most people are bullets for someone.
I've dealt with someone like that before(assuming its as bad as i'm thinking). trying to make things better just results in them pinning everything on you and playing on your feelings of guilt.
of course I might just be projecting
I'm really sensitive (honestly, I am) and I get all twisted up if I think I made someone feel terrible.. Which is why it's extra bad if I get involved with a crazy/manipulative girl

you need to be extra clear with some people so I think you did the right thing.
Not sure if that was meant as an insult or just curiosity.
But I haven't really thought about it. I'm sure that I am someone's bullet that they've dodged, and I've dodged bullets myself. I think that most people are bullets for someone out there, just like most people will find someone that they mesh well with.
I've dealt with similar situations to TB in the past, so my responses were probably biased by that.

Yeah I'm kind of worried that I'll end up in a toxic relationship at some point because I am so bad about trying not to upset people EDIT: I mean I guess not wanting to upset people is good on the whole but there are certain situations where you have to not care

Oh, no not an insult. Just a passing curiosity. I see the phrase "you dodged a bullet" a lot and pretty soon it starts to feel like most people you meet can be classified as bullets to be dodged.

lol yeah, I guess I've learned my lesson.
or maybe it would harden you up
I learned my lesson with that guy. now I try to make things incredibly clear so I can't feel bad if they have to hear they're not what i'm looking for
I think at some point or another in our lives, we're all bullets. I know I certainly have been.
(I'm using the phrase less in terms of compatibility with certain people and more just being too damaged for whatever reason to sustain a romantic relationship.)
Unfortunately I couldn't dodge the clydefrog bullet.
I'm still trying to get the shrapnel out.

Those games are so good. 2 less so than 1, a bit more things that annoyed me about it. Still charming as heck.
I think it's just a generalization that's probably overused to indicate incompatibility. Like, it doesn't indicate that the person is deadly or a complete loss, but that they don't mesh well with your personality. Just a matter of that person finding someone else that meshes with their ideals.
Not sure what would be a better phrase to use though.

CQ2 is great, although they really drop the ball on the whole time travel angle. You only actually use time travel tomfoolery for one quest.

I swear I didn't read your posts first
like yo my friend was dating this girl over the summer but he broke it off because she would like be too clingy and text him too often. he would have to lie and say stuff like how he has an exam or a test and has to study.
now he was dating this other girl recently and broke up with her because she didn't text him enough.
lmao

Maybe. But like "pulling the dead grandma card", who is compatible with that behavior?
My point is more like JB said. None of us are perfect, we all do things that look terrible in the right light. Most likely every relationship you ever have is going to involve at least something you find distasteful.
To be clear, I'm not defending that behavior nor saying TB should try to get back with her. I just think it's silly to hold out for someone who's perfect.

I just scripted all the blinking for this character at the same time as I sorta realized that in game under the shaders and at game size you can just barely even see the blinks. oh well.

It's 66°F (19°C) and lightly cloudy in Newport Beach, aka sundress weather. 
Right? I mean, she'd had all afternoon to mention it, yet it coincidentally only comes up when I mention I'm 'going to bed' - nah, fuck that noise. She hasn't replied, so I think she got the message. My morals are telling me I should text her just to see if she's okay, but the sane part of me is just like nope.gif.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I think about this all the time.
That's actually a good point. So many things can be viewed as a "red flag" or a "bullet", but it really comes down to the situation and the opinions of the people involved. Like having a dirty place, or a ridiculously tidy place, or a crappy car, or a frequent texter, etc.
For me at least, if I was getting to know someone that was willing to leverage their family members in order to gain sympathy in an argument I would be really worried about what else they would do. That would be a "red flag" to me that I would have to weigh against the other interactions with the person.
Also I think the time you've known someone is a definite factor.
Stop thinking in red flags and bullets. Either you're drawn to someone or you aren't. I can think of no time in my life when I liked someone a lot but broke it off bec...
er, actually, I did, sorta... I was gelling with this girl at work and I was about to ask her out and she farted and laughed.. And I just never asked her out. Hahaha.

My entire wardrobe consists of stuff I wear to work or lounge around in at home. pretty much a body image thing I need to get over
