@alchemists fire: Ah, that's good to hear lol.

I see. As long as you want to, since I rarely see people using rainbow font (generator) :3

@ChiffonOrange: I think I might save the rainbow font thing for the Undercurrent xD
The funny thing about the rainbow font is it totally doesn't suit the OC I'm dressed as, but I'm having too much fun with it to really care xDDD

@CooperationIsKey: I rarely wear more than eyeliner and lipstick, don't bother for work and usually don't bother when I go out with friends (back when that was a thing xD), but if I'm attempting to dress particularly gothy, I'll usually slap on a bit of eyeliner and a red or dark red lipstick. I really want to find a black lipstick that works for me, the one I have is too warm I think.

My dad was also pretty conservative, not so much because of any religious influence, but because he's very strongly opinionated and can't keep his thoughts to himself. He's not so great at the "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything". He complained when I initially came home with rainbow hair, but eventually grew to like it. He preferred when I did more "natural-looking" things like red streaks in my dark brown hair.

Now I wonder if I can make a rainbow/heavy metal/goth avi on here, ahaha

@Totalanimefan: I did finally go and look at the past items! All of them, actually xD Crates, orbs, events, milestones...
I think we've discussed in another thread how massive my wishlist has become. I'm definitely going to use your suggestion of "must have", "really want", "nice to have" =) ♥

@Totalanimefan: Awesome, thank you! I just went and updated my wishlist =)
I had a bunch of them on my list, but thankfully I only wanted one or two poses from most.

Oooh, all the colours? That makes me REALLY tempted to go turn my extra Electric Horns into those!

@Alchemists Fire:
I found a really neat gray lipstick a few years ago but couldn't find a lipliner to go with it, and I know from experience funky lipsticks, especially darker ones, have a tendency to 'spread' if they're not contained, lol. I never did wear it much and it's probably no good now.

My then-stepfather once (I was into my 20s by this point and home for a visit) took my backpack and purse--both skeleton-themed--and threw them in the stone fire pit outside because apparently bones are evil. 🤦‍♂ He broke one or two of the glass charms on my purse in the process. And he actually banned skeleton/skull imagery from the house!! He nearly had kittens the time I came in the morning after a concert still wearing monster makeup (because the band was Lordi, who are monsters, and I dressed up). Apparently I was a horrible person for exposing my brothers to death and "demonic" imagery (it's not like I was letting them listen to it and the makeup was nothing they wouldn't see on Halloween!). These days he'd probably be upset about my ankh necklace because "SYMBOL THAT ISN'T THE CROSS IT MUST BE SATANIC!!"

God I want to dye my hair rainbow so bad, but that's an expense I'm not sure I can justify, lol.

@alchemists fire: Oh no, I'm sorry if I didn't saw your post just now since I got distracted by my daydreaming ahahaha... ^^;;

Ah I see! Roleplaying as your own OC is fun sometimes and that doesn't matter as long as you're having fun while enjoying the rainbow font lol

@ChiffonOrange: Not to worry, I sometimes go a couple of days between checking for notifications and then I have like 7 replies to track down xDD
I'm just worried using the rainbow font thing all the time when chatting would be annoying and also hard to read for some people, Plus depending on what site theme different people are using it may not show up as well. I'm using one with a black background, so it's great for me, but it might suck for someone using the default or a lighter colour.

It also suits one of my other OCs better, and I haven't bought anything to dress as her yet xD


@CooperationIsKey: Yeah, cleaner edges sound like a really good thing. I think what always bothered me when I wear darker lipsticks is the huge contrast between the lip colour and the inside of my mouth when I'm talking.

Oof, I am so sorry you had to deal with that. I sort of do to a much lesser extreme, I'm in my 30s and my parents still try and coax me to come down for dinner when I'm doing things with friends, or my dad will wake up in the middle of the night, see my bedroom light on, and come upstairs just to tell me to "go to bed". I sorta feel like at 30 they shouldn't be attempting to "parent" as much anymore? IDK...

@Alchemists Fire:
They probably feel that if you live at home, you should still follow 'their rules'. Which is silly at your age, definitely. As long as you're not bothering them by being up late, why does it matter?

I think "parents gonna parent" regardless of your age, though. I mean I was in my 30s when I lived with my dad for a few months and he tried very hard to parent me as if I were a teenager. He would get really upset about things I was raised to do that were different from how he raised my little brother (my parents have been divorced since I was very young and my mom raised me) and honestly it was a bit weird sometimes.

@Alchemists Fire:
Oh well thank you! I'm loving all the rainbow items we have here, it's great. :3

I had no choice but to live on my own; my then-stepfather threw me out shortly after I turned 18. Wasn't even allowed to move back home temporarily when I became disabled at 24. The man sucked, and I'm very glad he's out of my life. 🙃

Yeah my dad gets irrationally upset about the weirdest things. I once said "man if it were possible for me and socially acceptable I'd so grow a beard" (I'm afab but nonbinary) and even with this impossible hypothetical he started snapping at me angrily "NO YOU WOULDN'T" and I was so bewildered like what? Dude, unclench thy anus. XD He also thought I was an asshole (though obviously he didn't say it quite like that) because I was raised that people call/text ahead and warn people before just showing up at their house to visit. What I was raised to think as common courtesy, he thinks is rude!

Don't get me started on other people trying to control my finances. I appreciate my dad helping me get my finances sorted after my longtime roommate passed and I lost my apartment, but when I used a small amount of my food assistance for some foods for myself he got upset??

@Alchemists Fire:
Yeah, like all I bought was like, some almond butter and a couple apples I think? Like it's not like I burned through the whole amount and it was stuff I'd definitely use and was even healthy so I don't get what the problem was.

Parents are weird. Lol.
