I am referring to the many, many, pictures which Scylla posts on the Forum. Oh, ok, sorry. Yes, I was comparing her pfp to mine. I do think I recall seeing some of her photos in which she is wearing her hair to the side. And, no way you would know this (well, you could have asked to meet up in SL, but you haven't), but I have several different looks in SL. Thx for the clarification! PS: I would hate to see Scylla's face and hear her groan when she sees you comparing my look to hers, ugh... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeves TIL ("Today I Learned"): - Not everyone thinks comparing them to @Scylla Rhiadra is a compliment! (Poor Scylla!) - "PFP" is a thing. Using search, I see someone mentioned "pfp" in context of the dogs in my profile picture last Tuesday; otherwise, "pfp" has only been used 12 times in the current Forums beside today. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone in the "nested quotes" gets notified, that makes sense. All the more reason to "tag" someone when quoting multiple levels, so it is clear who you are replying too. The most common Peeve about "quotes" is, if you "quote" wrong, it attributes the quote to the wrong person.

You may have gotten the wrong impression on how I feel about my avi being compared with Scylla's; I do not feel it is not a compliment for me, I just don't know how Scylla will feel about someone thinking I look like her lol. And really, no matter how amazing or gorgeous or whatever I feel someone else's avatar is, I do not want to look like them; I spend a lot of time trying to make my avatar a representation of who I see myself as. I see soooo many just absolutely gorgeous avis (a couple that belong to very active Forum participants), and am just smitten, but that is their look, and not mine. Not trying to take offense to what you said (though maybe we are supposed to phrase everything in the form of a peeve here, or the thread might get closed?), just clarifying things a bit, hopefully. 🙂 I have never seen pfp in any context in the Forum, am more familiar with it other places, like Discord, Tumblr, the few things I follow on Twitter, and on some computer artists' websites or social media accounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scylla Rhiadra Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) Oh good lord. Are we this short of things to talk about???? 😮 Maybe we need someone to start up another child avatar thread . . . can never have too many! 1 hour ago, CaerolleClaudel said: If there is more than one Scylla, perhaps you could warn us of where these perils lie? 😉😂😂 I know of at least two, and have met one in-world. She wasn't nearly as monstrous as I am. 1 hour ago, Roxy Couturier said: It might have been the bad old days when she first came to the predecessor forum? Maybe I'm misremembering.. But it makes for an epic mythic origin story, dunnit? 😁 Oh, I don't remember this, but the RA was pretty insane sometimes, so maybe! I did sort of unintentionally imitate myself, briefly, when I showed up here in 2013/14 using my Laskya account, but I got sussed out almost immediately, so that doesn't really count. Too good an imitation, I guess? 1 hour ago, Roxy Couturier said: Or... She bears a strong resemblance to me 😉 I'd be good with that! 1 hour ago, Love Zhaoying said: The way she wears her hair, and also her facial shape (to a lesser extent) and expression remind me of @Scylla Rhiadra. I can also see that! 1 hour ago, CaerolleClaudel said: Ok, I still do not see it though. In her pfp, Scylla has a middle part and her hair tucked behind her ears; mine has a side part and is the opposite of tucked behind my ear on my right side (the point of that hair, there are 3 levels of falling forward, and I use the most extreme one). I do wear it in a side part quite frequently though. There are probably about 30 styles I wear quite regularly, so there's some variation! Usually though I part it to the left. 1 hour ago, CaerolleClaudel said: We do both have sorta pointy chins I suppose. Well, now I feel self-conscious . . . ! 1 hour ago, CaerolleClaudel said: Oh expressions? In Scylla's pfp I read her as sweet and friendly, and looking up at the viewer almost adoringly. I feel I kinda suck at reading face expressions though, and knowing Scylla, I would guess the 'adoring gaze' is likely NOT what she is going for in her pfp lol. My pic here is a slightly modified crop of one that was part of my "Intimacies" project, and actually was intended to look pretty adoring, or at least very fond, because it shows me waiting for my partner (I imagined my RL one) who is late. https://flic.kr/p/2mUMVEQ I cropped and modified it for here because I wanted a "friendly" and sort of "open" look, and that seemed to mostly fit the bill. And of course I do utterly adore everyone here, sooooo . . . 😏 OK TIME TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE!!!!

I am not familiar with any Twain quotes except one, though: "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."

Peeve: @Persephone Emerald Strangely, when I looked at the Mark Twain quotes, I also did not see any that I felt "everyone should know". However, I checked for Will Rogers (sometimes compared to Mark Twain although they were two generations apart) and found a lot: https://www.willrogers.com/quotes Both men commented on "politics" (as seen by today's standards).

Personally I love the ones that I think are attributed to Mae West, though I am too lazy to look up the exact wording or the accuracy of the attributions: "When I'm good, I'm good. And when I'm bad, I'm very good." My fave though is: "When trying to choose between two evils I try to choose the one I have never tried before." Again, not sure if those are right or not lol. Another fave by another old-time 'broad,' Zsa Zsa Gabor, IIRC married quite a few times: "I never hated a man enough to give him his jewelry back." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some over-emphasis by others on "adult stuff drives Second Life", and "everyone needs to respect kink more", etc. is what I was complaining about in another thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
