It's not a discrepancy lol, I would never say I'm great looking and there's a big gulf between suboptimal and ugly. I was legit upset the day my ginger beard grew out and someone pointed out to me that it had streaks of red.

Update: Troy Baker said he loved my shirt. I'll talk about actually meeting them when I get home.
Why not just do it in editing?

Troy Baker is the one voice actor who looks exactly like a video game character.

Sorry, poor choice of words on my part.
Beard dying is a thing if it bothers you that much.
They probably could have. It's a little detail that only book readers would care about, so maybe it was cost prohibitive. The way light plays with eyes is pretty intricate, so it might be hard to do a convincing recolor in post, at least for motion video instead of just a still.
I mean, consider how often she's looking at fire and other stuff that gets reflected in her eyes. It would be a pain to mask around that. Plus colored eyes don't always look colored. My eyes are extremely blue in the right lighting, but other times in pictures they look grey, slightly green or even somewhat brown.
It's kind of hard to explain since it's my default state, so I don't feel like I'm trying to be happy. I love my life, I love my friends and family, I love my boyfriend, and I try to take a moment and appreciate the little things.
Some pseudoscience I've heard is that smiling releases endorphins, so there's truth to "fake it til you make it" in that regard. Also that you need to dwell on good things for about fifteen seconds or more or else your brain will forget it, unlike negative things which immediately make a lasting impression if you let them.

Drinks on Monday with the girl from OKC.
Trab, german guys must be screwy in the head. You're gorgeous and have a fantastic personality. You deserve a great guy who doesn't take his pants off in public while blading.
Float, I'm not sure where the connection between being positive and feeling like a liar comes from. I agree with Lilith though. It's entirely possible. Being positive makes the world so much better.
On that positive note, there are so many stupid, attractive couples here in Boston.

A couple things: I used to feel the same about my default state. I was optimistic and positive to a fault. Then a couple really horrible things happened to me. I don't know if you have ever experienced tragedy but it changes you. Whether you want it to or not. I'm trying really hard to bounce back but it feels impossible.
And the "fake it till you make it" is what I'm talking about. I've been doing that for the past year. Being healthier, finishing my degree, throwing myself into my career but now that I'm less busy this summer I'm actually dealing with things. I feel like a liar and all the good things I've done this past year were just things to distract myself.
I feel like nothing is certain anymore. Tragedy came out of nowhere for me and it could just as easily happen again. Any kind of positivity I have could easily be ruined.
I'm not sure if I'm even making sense. And I'm sorry to unload like this but today is rough.

Good luck, Gran.

Took a nap a couple of hour ago, just woke up again to find out that there's a part going on and I have to to entertain, so I'm just letting these people that I've never met play through UC4.

guys guys someone on Tinder asked me out! first time this has happened. what do I do? I mean he is cute looking but I'm not sure we'd have anything in common. only chatted for a bit about trivial shit (I guess that's Tinder for ya...) D: this is weird
If you're down, agree and then keep chatting to get a better feel for him.
Go to a public spot. Maybe a café and have a nice drink there and chat more and maybe go for a walk next. If he sucks make sure to look for any areas you can push him away so he falls and then run for your life.

yeah but what if the feel is bad and I already agreed to meet up? @_@
It happens. Just make something up that conflicts with the date, or just explain that you aren't feeling up to it anymore. It's fairly common practice (at least over here)
Tinder is fickle as fickle can be.
edit: I'm with Vaz. Scope out walking paths that have open pits/manholes nearby or near bodies of water that you can push him into if he starts talking about bladin'

If you already agreed, and I mean if the guy isn't a douche and isn't acting like he's owed a meet-up or something, I don't see anything wrong with a platonic meet and greet.
Then again, it is Tinder.
But I mean what do I know?

That's good! I don't hate my brown hair, I just like blue even more.
As an aside, and a complete coincidence, I happen to be working on a blacksmith with a red beard right now. The character art was done a couple months ago but now I'm building his little shop.
There have been some pretty tragic things in my life, yes. I was in a huge pit of depression in my late teens. Not normal teen angst either. I would always try to smile for people and pretend to be happy but I just wasn't. This was exacerbated by my first year in college, where I hated being away from my family so much even though I had great friends, the campus was nice, et cetera. During this period, the only time I felt like I had true happiness was when I would work on creative stuff.
I think what it ultimately came down to was not having anyone to deeply, honestly talk to. I put on the veneer of friendliness but on the inside I was very closed off to people. So now I have a bevy of older women and a couple close girl friends who help and mentor me. I can vent to them if I've had a hard day and get my frustrations out that way, plus have people who can look at my situation at a very close level and let me know when I'm overthinking or missing something.
My comfort comes from knowing that no matter what happens, there will always be people who love me and whom I can reach out to.
This is so incredibly helpful. It gives people the third person perspective that they so desperately need, and the support when things are going poorly.
I'm happy that you have that network
My friends aren't consistent enough in the reliability so it's hard to keep that in mind.
that for me plus my family is the cause for the negativity in my life. just gotta pick it up where I can and remain optimistic

Lilith, I want you to know that if you ever want or need to, and this goes for everyone here, you can always talk to me and I will always put aside the time.
That's good of you

you all made very good points about the tinder thing. I guess I get quickly nervous about this kinda stuff :l. I just told him now that I would be up for meeting but would like to get to know him better first. I guess that's a diplomatic solution.
are you trained in diplomacy or do you just have your base charisma modifier?

man completely different topic but reading up on stuff I got kinda scared... our family's dog has been losing blood and apparently worst case scenario would be a pretty bad tumor :/
I hope it's one of the not-so-serious options
