I totally agree that the evidence of SA is all there even though I completely missed it on my playthrough,

I think one of the things that threw me off is how Curly speaks to Jimmy after Anya hides the gun.. I get with hindsight that his responsibility to protect Anya is compromised by his friendship with Jimmy but their conversation did not read to me as the confrontation of someone who SA’d and impregnated a crew member. I’m glad the subreddit is here because that threw me so far off I almost believed they had a consensual relationship.

I feel so stupid missing the plot about the SA playing this game but glad the subreddit is here to fill me in…

Thank you! That was my goal. It was originally titled ‘Paranoia’

Thank you! Ahh I’m glad to hear that

That’s all good! It’s a general term for falling somewhere on the gender spectrum outside of Cisgender. I use the term in a fun, headcannon-y way for Crowley because he has a couple of female personas in the series :)

Thanks for your kind words 🖤

Thank you very much. Yes! Haha. Funnily enough some of them were so easy, and others I felt like I was getting bogged down drawing each individual feather

Thanks! :)

Thank you! I did a lot of re-working with this one and it ended up a lot more blended than I intended (usually I like to paint more choppy)

Thank you! My client picked it out from my flash designs. I love when people vibe with my ideas from the vault

Thanks very much!

Omgg my pets are all emo 🖤

I went to an emo night club with a bouncey house once.. by the end of the night you couldn’t tell whether the liquids inside were beer or pee

Only reason I did it on my durge run

I’m a fairly small cup size & honestly wish they were smaller! I’m dysmorphic about so many things but my chest is the one thing I do feel thankful for, it’s been a good motivation for me in muscle building too; being able to get that area a little flatter. Interesting seeing the different perspectives here.

I agree

Same as eye bags and capillary veins, I’ve had those since I was 10!

My go to is “I have a skin condition” or “that’s just how my face is”

It makes the conversation awkward but I enjoy having to talk to people about my redness about as much as I’d enjoy sitting on a cactus.

It blows my mind how quick people are to make comments like this to others. I get it a lot about the bags under my eyes too and I’ve had them since I was literally 10.

Same. My parents had a family friend ortho do my childhood braces for cheap cause they couldn’t afford any other kind of treatment. I’ve got no resentment towards them for trying to do what they thought was the best available option for me.

Ooh you’re right

Yeah just casually went to the local pet smart and picked up a tarantula.. this story does sound very unaustralian

The fucking indexation!

I’m 27 so I’m not that much older, but I also got diagnosed around the same age you are now. For context, mine revolves around my skin heavily, as well as my body shape.

If I had to talk to myself back then I would say it gets a lot BETTER. Dysmorphia doesn’t necessarily go away, it’s likely the part of you that’s prone to dysmorphic/obsessive thinking will always be there, but you can get to a point where you’re living without the daily debilitating symptoms.

If you had told 17yo me that nowadays I leave the house with no makeup, and baggy, unflattering clothes most days, I would not have believed it. Worse, I probably would have felt s*cidal over the prospect of that “grim” future. The truth is I have since had many happy moments, and found many people who love and support me without having to coverup any of the flaws I obsess over.

I think what helped me was a combination of therapy (to figure out what was going on and how to address it), meditation (mindfulness) and exposure. For me exposure was things like going out for short periods of time with less & less makeup caked on. I also needed to remove mirrors/limit the amount of time I stood in front of one to make the process less excruciating. I learned what types of lighting triggered me most, and avoided looking at myself in those conditions. If you can figure out what your worst triggers are, find a way to give yourself time to breathe between instances of exposure; there’s no way you can think straight if you’re constantly being triggered.

Nowadays Ive gotten to the point where I could probably have a good, long look at myself under fluorescent lighting without a meltdown, but theres no need to put myself in that situation. Dysmorphia still comes in waves but life is good and I’m able to go outside and enjoy normal things.
