@aroMa(n)tisse WHY DO THEY HAVE TO KNOW?

@Cassiopeia IT'S BETTER FOR ME TO FOCUS ON EARNING DOLLARS NOW, SO THAT I CAN RETIRE FASTER. EARNING WILL BE MUCH HARDER WHEN I'M OLDER AND MY MENTAL AGILITY IS WORSE.

 

STRICTLY SPEAKING, I SHOULDN'T BE FORUMING RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M BEING SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED.

WELL, THEN I'D ESPECIALLY RECOMMEND IT. THE SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT WHEN CREATING ART IS A GREAT ANTI-DEPRESSANT, AND IT TECHNICALLY HELPS YOU TO FOCUS AT WORK AS CREATIVITY HELPS TO PRESERVE NEUROPLASTICITY AND REFINES FINE MOTOR SKILLS.

@aroMa(n)tisse WHY NOT NOW? TEXTILE ART IS BEAUTIFUL, NOT JUST WHEN ONE IS RETIRED.

HOW MUCH TIME IS REQUIRED TO LEARN TO KNIT A BRACELET / ARM WARMER FROM ZERO

MACRAME IS NOT KNITTING, ITS KNOTS. YOU DO NOT NEED NEEDLES TO MAKE MACRAME. ITS QUITE TRICKY TO MAKE THEM EVEN, SO I'D SAY ABOUT 1-3 HOURS DEPENDING ON YOUR SKILL LEVEL.

KNITTING AN ARM WARMER IS DEFINITELY MORE WORK, AS YOU HAVE TO LEARN TWO TYPES OF STITCHES, AND FOLLOW A SIZE APPROPRIATE KNITTING PATTERN OTHERWISE IT WON'T FIT PERFECTLY.

YOU CAN USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF NEEDLES, OBVIOUSLY ITS EASIER TO DO IT WITH 2 THAN WITH 5 NEEDLES, AND ITS IMPORTANT TO HAVE APPROPRIATE TYPE OF YARN. IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 2-5 HOURS TO LEARN TO KNIT WELL ENOUGH TO MAKE A DECENT ARM WARMER.

IS THERE A CHANCE THAT SHE'S ARO WHO'S FOOLED BY AMATONORMATIVITY AND FORCING HERSELF INTO A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP TO BE VALIDATED BY HER ENVIRONMENT

I DON'T KNOW. AT THIS POINT, I DON'T THINK ITS POSSIBLE FOR ME TO EDUCATE THEM ABOUT ANYTHING. ITS ON A VERY BASIC, ATTENTION=GREEN LIGHT LEVEL, COMBINED WITH GREEN LENSE GLASSES.

ONE THING I LEARNED FROM BDSM SCENE PEOPLE, THAT WHEN OTHERS HEAR BUT DO NOT LISTEN, ONE SHOULD GET OUT ASAP, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN IT POTENTIALLY ESCALATES.

@aroMa(n)tisse

NAH, IT WAS AS VANILLA AS IT GETS ON BOTH SIDES.

I GUESS SHE IS JUST DESPERATE AND IS MORE INTO THE IDEA OF A RELATIONSHIP THAN THE ACTUAL PERSON... THE CLASSIC DOLLHOUSE SYNDROME, THEY HAVE ALL THE PROPS PRE MADE, ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

THERE IS SQUISH THREAD, AND THERE ARE THREADS ABOUT COMPARING AND DEFINING TYPES OF ATTRACTION. 1 2 3 4

I just went on the chat, they seem okay.I have also tried to drag the image on different backgrounds, and they are transparent. (And yes,I know  the flag is still dodgy, drawing proper waved stripes in pixels is hard.)

so, I had time to make a second batch + some adjustments. I hope they will work.

removed the background ->

adjusted the lineart, so its thinner, like on the rest of the emojis  ->

clapping 

and an attemt at the pride flag 

I JUST WANTED TO SLEEP WITH HER BUT SHE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND CONSENT OR ANY OF THE STUFF I HAVE TOLD HER SO NOPE.

NOW SHE IS ALL POSSESSIVE AND SHE BUYS ME ROSES AND TEXTS ME CUTESY STUFF...

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.

Thanks

I just realized it has to be on a transparent background. I'll sort it out tomorrow, and I'll draw a shrug as well.

anything else we might need?

@Blue Phoenix Ace its been like that for a while, but not always. Its kind of on and off. I do not have internet explorer, just safari, chrome and firefox. I did not catch it acting up in chrome or in safari yet.

Any of these?

The hug would have to be a different size, as there are two emoticons in one pic.  I have found a square one, but imho its awkward. What do you think people? 

Also edited the hearts one so there are several ones... probably will be needed on this forum

  -> 

@Louis Hypo how about this one for "this is a euphemism"?

The names of the threads on the main site turn to bold and regular quite randomly? I'm guessing it supposed to be bold when there is new content, and regular when there isn't. Sometimes it goes the other way around. And then I reload the page and they swap? Its kind of weird, I'm not sure how it supposed to be. (I'm using firefox, could that be the problem?)

Also if its possible, could we please get a facepalm, a hug, a shrug, and maybe a clapping emoticon?

EVERY TIME I OPEN NEKO ATSUME, I'M REMINDED OF THIS FORUM. LIKE I HAD SPUD AND XERXCES AND LADY MEOW AND EVERYONE IS NAPPING ON PILES OF FOOD?

YMBAI you needed to pause movies and take 10-15 minute breaks because you felt weirdly fidgety when a kissing scenes started.

YMBAI if when trying to think about what kind of theoretical wedding you would like, you negotiate so much, you basically end up with a non-wedding.

(younger me was so vaguely uncomfortable with the whole thing, I kept making lists of things I don't want. like nah, I'm not going to wear white. no long dresses or tuxes...just boots and jeans and a band t-shirt? nah, I don't want any flowers on me or in my hair. no decorations? nah, I don't want any guests. especially no religious or any other type of official marriage person saying big words. and not going to tell my family, only when its done so they can't make a fuss. we will just like go to the pub, sign some papers or whatever, and go on a holiday? can we sign for five years? maybe ten, that is still foreseeable-ish? can I keep my own room and bed tho? how do people even do this? )

• I'm very physically affectionate
• I'm very sexual! a lot of people are surprised that aromantic =/= asexual
• the combination of those two means that I would enjoy kissing, hand-holding, and sex in a lot of my relationships (even though I don't do any of those because most of my friends don't like doing them, especially with someone they're not dating )
• I do feel like I'm missing something because I'm aro, and being aro made me sad, not relieved

• yep, me too. sometimes I feel like I embody that aroallo stereotype, being quite gay for all my female friends. But its really hard to communicate these things, so I keep it to myself.
• and I also often have the feeling of being left out of something...the queer thing also made me sad. I guess its natural to mourn that impossible dream of allonormative and heteronormative idyll, because we all were conditioned to aspire to have that...until you realize how limiting that concept is.

• some of my fav music is romance themed. as long as the melody isn't cheesy, I'm fine with it. I actually have developed such a selective hearing, that I have to be reminded of the lyrics. I just tune them out so well, I do not comprehend the meaning, regardless of the language.
• I watch romantic movies because I want to see representation.
