The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"

[caspercryptid]

On the one hand it's a bit of a pick me up in a dark place to know that this will pass because it has passed before on the other hand sometimes it isn't entirely a pleasant thought to go "wow, I used to feel like this all the time. That was pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad right now too also."

[caspercryptid]

Someday your current baseline will be the sort of thing you consider A Really Bad Day. It does get better.

Wait, Elon and Trump slap fighting online is our Reagan death day present? Awww, you guys! You absolutely fucking should have, keep fighting, you bastards, I hope you both meet the consequences your actions have earned you.

[homunculus-argument]

Hey what can you do if you're bored of the way you look but you also should absolutely not fuck with your hair?

[theorchardsys]

Insane makeup Get a piercing (if you don't like it, let it close up) Get a tattoo (careful with this one. I advise a potato on your ankle) Start working out Buy a wig!! Find a funky fashion piece and never take it off Get glasses or get contacts Colored contacts!! Super long acrylic nails

[homunculus-argument]

I don't wear makeup and don't want to start.

I already have all the piercings I want to have (3 on face, 4 in ears)

I already have all the tattoos I want.

I'm already exercising in a way that works for me.

A wig good enough to wear would be about twice my budget.

I already have one (cool hat)

I don't wear glasses and don't want to start (I have sunglasses for outdoors)

I wore colored contacts at one point for aesthetic, and I'm not sure if I could make them efficient enough to be worth the risk of eye damage.

How do you wear acrylic nails in a masc way that doesn't hinder doing crafts like sewing or jewelry making, or physical labour as needed?

[theorchardsys]

hMmMmMm...

Okay, hear me out, I know you're bored of the way you look, but you could try getting a new outfit piece that makes you feel insanely confident. A super long jacket, epic steampunk style face mask, layer some belts, find an epic chain for a necklace or belt loops, or a spiked collar. If you change your demeanor a bit, it makes you feel like a completely new person! As for piercings, maybe try throwing on some weird clip-ons. Imo, the key to finding a cool way to vibe in a new way is to step outside your comfort zone a bit. You obviously don't have to, but that's what works for me. I have like nine styles that I regularly alternate between now lol

[homunculus-argument]

What do you suggest for "outside of comfort zone" when I currently wear all black, band tees and hoodies, absolute frankenstein ripped jeans that I've modded myself, and black leather boots with DIY bootstraps?

Because the only thing that pops into my head is "dressing like Tintin", and I really Do Not Want to do that.

new style of facial hair? also, does it have to be a visual change - i have had some success with changing up colognes/perfume/body sprays

[homunculus-argument]

I don't know how I could do anything different with my facial hair. It only grows in the goatee shape, so I don't know what other options I'd have than goatee+narrow moustache, no beard and only moustache (ew), no moustache and only beard (ew) and clean shaven (boring). If there are other options, that'd be cool.

[fable-and-thread]

Genuinely surprised no ones mentioned eyebrows yet! Most striking way to change someones face!

Idk how far hair limitations extend to this. You could try shaving them off completely, drawing on new shapes in all sorts of colours with makeup. I think shaving the outermost 1/3 off then drawing into a more spock shape in like green or purple is a great punk look. This can also be achieved with foundation if you don’t want the radical change of fully shaving them off.

Re: Facial hair

Does the goatee grow long enough to braid it? Ive got several friends who do the viking punk/alt look with your fashion sense too. Obvs depends a-lot of what you can grow. But adding beads and leather bands can be visually striking too.

You could also try using makeup products to add colours to your beard. Either just natural hair coloured pencils to fill in the density? Or like eyeshadow etc for greens/blues etc. some people can really make this work. Im assuming that the no hair fuck rule means no dye on the beard for same reasons but depending on why that could work.

I know accessories like earrings were touched on but just loads of accessories sounds like a good place to expand. As a resourceful person you could probably make all sorts with scrap or cheap materials. Chains and bottle tabs and safety pins etc. just expand on that. Maybe focusing on sound like i find my leather jacket with all its random tacked on crap makes great sounds as i walk.

Layering same clothes differently can be good but more of an autumn/winter thing.

I think the smell thing was really smart irs a-lot of how i percieve myself so i always make sure to have fun cologne options.

[homunculus-argument]

I already have a lot of DIY jewelry - as a matter of fact none of my accessories are still in the shape I bought them in. The hair limitation is mainly "nothing that will ruin my chances of getting a nice haircut 3 months from now", so no experimental royal fuck-ups so bad that I'll have to shave my whole head (I look bad with no hair, and I feel like shit when I look like that).

Temporary dye would be an option for the hair too, but my hair has been dyed black so no colour would show unless I bleach it, which is once again permanent damage.

I have no idea how to layer clothes in the summer. Just a t-shirt is bad enough.

[caradbear]

You can get extensions or you can wear something you hate for 2 days and then realize how nice your norm is?

after a lifetime of hearing about aragorn but not reading the books or watching the movies, genuinely nothing could have prepared me for his actual introduction. the hobbits picked this man out of a dumpster. he is a textbook softspoken angst prince and he is covered in dirt and he probably smells so bad. he’s the coolest man alive and is so casual about it. his number one skill is Knowing Where They Are and his number two skill is Having A Horrible Destiny That Torments Him. tolkien got it in one i’m afraid aragorn son of arathorn you are the guy of all time
