I suppose wings would explain the lack of photos, can't imagine those would be good for lens flare or glare...

I'm sure that an Archery contest would still work if you made the arrows from her. :smalltongue:

I got the headset to work, but it has some kind of weird distortion that sounds kinda like a microwave running next to a fan... With some unsettlingly voice-like noises I'm going to assume are coming from the television. @_@
I also made myself a bit shy-er again... Testing it revealed that I can get my voice to be somewhat higher-pitched, but it hasn't really changed aside from that. :<

Naturally, this is also the hardest bit.
I've sorta gathered that one of the big steps is making sure you're using head voice as opposed to chest voice?

Yeah, but that's not enough. There's still a big difference between male head voice and female voice, as shown here.

Not even! I'm really frazzled, so I'm having trouble retaining information (hopefully this is not affecting the information I'm trying to learn for my finals coming up!) so it just keeps surprising me!
To illustrate this, my partner was talking about going to run a Warmachine and Hordes tournament for literally a month. It was yesterday. Day before yesterday he said "So I thought we'd go out for dinner after I get home soon after six."
Me: Why? Where are you going?!
Him: *patiently explain for like the seventh time*
Then later (not much later, same day)
Him: Yeah, I need to go to bed early too, I have to get up early to get going.
Me: Why? Where are you going?!
Him: :smallsigh: Seriously?

I think that'd be the 'first' step (not sure if there's a concrete order to this sort of thing)... There are a lot of other (important yet subtle) details I'm not yet familiar with. I bet there are programs to analyze voice elements... I wonder if I could troubleshoot with something like that? :hmm...:

Sounds more like you need to kill your darlings.
If it's character development, well, I suppose what you can do there depends upon your definition of tame that you're trying to keep within.

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
I don't usually mind sex or sappiness, but my goodness, this thread has become rather difficult for me to read.
What do you all think of all the baggage associated with losing your virginity anyways? It's always seemed a bit silly to me, though I suppose I could see how someone might consider it special.

It means typo that now I'm not going to fix and reflavor as having it folded in half with one side on top.

1: should I stop
2: well, I was always taught the first time was special, that it was meant to be saved until marriage and love, and the more things I can keep around of the innocence of my childhood, the better.

Hmm, I believe that the amount of hype about it by adults to young people and children, especially parents and school officials is mostly just harmful and a symptom of our culture's fundamental need for a change as far as how we approach sexuality.
I don't want to fully grapple with the subject, so I think I'll leave it at that.
Although that does cause me to remember and so I'll admit to having, when I was younger, romanticized it to a certain extent myself, supernerd.

Under a blanket, I'd imagine. It'd make things more intimate by trapping body heat and whatnot.
In that setting it'd combine the closeness of a bed and the romantic atmosphere of... That setting. It'd also be pretty handy if someone happened to be walking by at the time. (:smalleek:) :smalltongue:

A lot of people think that way, but I don't really see why it's any more special than the first time doing other activities. Although I suppose I don't see sex as inherently emotionally intimate, whereas other people often do. I'm also not really sure how having sex is supposed to strip you of your innocence.

Well, it's easy to become a dopamine junkie as a result of sex.

There are non-gay unicorns? I kind of assumed that they were all gay and preferred the company of virgin females because of some weird social convention akin to "hagging."
Also...

Was always more due to either their sexism or the sexism of the people telling stories about them from what I'd seen. Granted, aside from My Little Pony and when Arthurian fanfic has dealt with it, all I've seen has been decidedly in the "unicorns are arrogant jerks who think that they're prettier than they actually are" camp.

I think it's a bit silly too. It's a big pile of cultural baggage. Of course, for an individual person, their "first time!" is likely to be something they remember, maybe special, maybe a transition for them. But it won't be for everyone, and to set it up as such, when it's a very natural thing that most people do and messy and imperfect like everything human, is a path to disappointment. It's not going to be a glowing intertwining of two media-perfect flawless smooth bodies in an orgasmic explosion that shakes the heavens themselves and redefines the world and those two people and everything after will forever be changed. It's way more likely to be a bit awkward but nice, but maybe hurt a bit and be a bit sweaty and confused and involve phrases like "Was that it?" and "Hang on, what are we doing now?" with an embarrassing condom-fumble at that.
Also, as we here have likely considered, the One True Sex is set up as being between a (cis) man and a (cis) woman, and not count unless it's PIV. And once you let that go, it all becomes much less clear cut. (Hell, even if you just restrict yourself to that; is it just penetration? Is some movement required? An orgasm? Both orgasms?)
