Someone mentioned this a while back but Big Al definetely uses her past to guilt trip her mother, with the way she was dramatizing it and going on the whole spiel about having to "fix something that someone else caused"... from my perspective there is no one to blame in this situation, she (like many by the way) was just born into an unfortunate situation, so I wonder who excatly she is blaming this on. I don't think the relationship is as wholesome as it seems, seems to be filled with guilt and resentment.
It just occured to me - I don't know what spurgy idiot asked this question (I never do so I'm assuming it's Amber asking herself these questions because I don't see why anyone would want to know about her sex life) but how would this fat cunt even know what her "bush" looks like? There's absolutely no way she can see it with the fupa she ''doesn't have"
It’s hard to have anything but a bush when you can’t even see your fat stinking cat
Edit to say the razors she recently bought were probably to shave her facial hair, miss refuses-to-take-hormones-lynn probably looks like her dad up close
Did she specifically use the term "3rd degree burns"? Are you sure?
3rd degree burns (as Amber called them) are in a completely different category from 1st and 2nd, including first aid treatment for them and EMS response. 3rd degree burns go completely through ALL LAYERS OF SKIN. The skin appears to be hard, waxy, and white (imagine a cold, hard slab of pork belly, but it feels hot to the touch), or can be dry and scaly and ashy-black (depending on what burned the skin). An ambulance should be called for third degree burns to the face, neck, hands, feet, and genitals due to potential loss of function, and potential airway compromise with damage to the face or neck (but you could probably take the person to the hospital yourself if the 3rd degree burn is in a non critical area and only covers a small % of the overall body - you know what, nevermind; ALWAYS call 911 for 3rd degree burns. No exception! Don't try to take it on yourself).
Hands must be bound in the non-functional position (hands open with fingers splayed, and each finger wrapped individually) and in dry dressings because the tissues are so fragile that THEY CAN FALL OFF IF YOU SOAK THE DRESSINGS. This is different to second degree, where the hand is wrapped in the functional position (in a very loose fist holding a damp/wet ball of gauze, and then the entire hand wrapped in wet dressings to try and cool down the burn). The skin can also shrink around the hands with third degree burns and can become too tight for the patient to open their hands again if you try to bandage in the functional position. The good news is that there's little if any pain in the 3rd degree burned area because all nerve endings are DEAD. The really BAD NEWS is that the areas AROUND the 3rd degree burn will be UNBEARABLY painful, as the entire area will be like a bullseye of 3rd degree, then 2nd, then 1st degree burns. And this ambulance ride isn't a lesiurely drive to your local urgent care; the ambulance will go lights and sirens, with a similar priority to someone who's in the back getting CPR. Third degree burns on the hands are a MAJOR DEAL, and ESPECIALLY in the case of a child, there would even be surgeons paged so they'd be ready to great the ambulance in the ER department.
(Also, 3rd degree burns are uncommon and would draw the attention of CPS if a mom strolled into a hospital with a small child with dead, waxy white hands).
Treatments for 3rd degree burns are quite aggressive and serious, due to the severe medical complications they can cause. The body desperately tries to "cool" the area, moving around potassium and sodium to shift water in the body around. This can lead to imbalances and potentially cardiac issues. That fluid can't be held by the damaged tissues. It weeps out, causing dehydration and more electrolyte imbalances. Sepsis is a serious concern, and the wounds need something called debriding. Remember in Star Wars Episode 3 when Anakin loses the lightsaber battle with Obi Wan on the lava planet and becomes a human piece of toast? And then he's in the med pod and the droids are picking off his skin like they're pinching crackle off of a ham? That's debriding and that's basically how it's done for real (without the droids, of course). And then they take the medical cheese grater thingy to your ass, and go to town on it to carve you up like you're that Christmas ham, because they need nice big patches of intact replacement skin - perferably from an area that not too many people will see because they're gonna scar you up real good. they then cut up that skin like how you cut the top crust of a pie to be kinda mesh-looking, and you get skin grafts. So hopefully you don't have a hairy ass, or you might come out of this with hairy palms, too! I joke, but it's actually really serious and very painful for the poor person who has to endure it.
So, based on all of that, did Amber have 3rd degree burns to her hands? As Orko would say, there is a 100% 0% chance that any of that actually happened.
I mention all of that to prove that it was a grotesque embellishment AT BEST, and worst case scenario was a flat out LIE. To specifically say "3rd degree" wasn't just her "using the wrong word"; it was a clear attempt at deception. And if she's willing to tell such an obvious lie, then I don't believe that ANY of her stories about her brutal abuse are at all accurate.
Neglect though? Absolutely. Amber's shown us in her vlogs over the last several years that she just doesn't know how to properly tidy up after herself, wash her clothes, BATHE, care for her hair, handle money, comprehend what she's reading, etc. Her parents just left her to run wild... though to a narcissist, I guess being ignored is the worst form of abuse imaginable.
To make tarot cards "work" you need to be able to understand symbolism and tell a story based on things you see. If you are a thoughtful person, tarot cards can be a fun way to think about yourself or others. If you have an imagination and an open mind, they can be a useful way to reframe some thoughts you hold.
That's how it was explained to me. The cards don't mean "absolutely anything", but each covers a lot of detail around a particular theme. In the Rider Waite deck (which is based on Judeo-Christian mysticism - ceremonial magic - and what many decks are based on) the 22 major arcana cards represent all of the paths of the tree of life, and all 78 cards (supposedly) represent the totality of human experience and comprehension (vaguely explained - obviously there is no card specifically representing chasing down a bus when you're late for work... or making fun of a 600lb narcissist online).
As it was explained to me (well, theory 1): The idea is that everything you perceive is picked up by your consciousness and subconsciousness. The most easily accessible is your consciousness, but the overwhelming majority of perception is through your subconscious. Your subconscious isn't accessible the way your consciousness is, and speaks more to your senses - imagry and color symbolism, sound, smells, etc. The specific symbolism your mind understands has to do with the specific culture you were raised in. The idea is that after you know all of the meanings and themes of all of the cards, you do a spread, and you trust the first meaning and the first symbols that you recognize when you see the card in that spread. The idea is that those ideas and concepts are the ones that your subconsciousness is currently grinding on, and can help you try to get a more complete picture of what's going on around you....
I feel obligated to mention theory 2: Our minds are actually split into 3; conscious, subconscious, and SUPERCONSCIOUS. The other two are the same, but the superconscious is the divine part of our brain which connects directly to the universe/the creator/god(s)/God/our higher power/our guardian angel/our spirit guide/the intergalactic spaghetti monster. Our superconscious speaks in a very specific, ancient code programmed in us from the divine and uses that to communicate with us. The idea is that the cards tap into this special divine language which is as much a part of our DNA as any other part of us, and certain people are born with a very strong ability to access their superconsciousness and talk to "God". Personality, various versions of "theory 2" are what I most commonly hear when people speak of Tarot, and I'm thoroughly convinced that it's nothing more than grifters using mentalism to exploit vulnerable and gulible people. But if you thoroughly believe this, I'm not one to criticize; YOUR BELIEFS ARE SO VALID!!....
....and I should also let you know that I'm a 189th degree ordained high priestess who is also a level 6B Reiki master and able traverse all 32 paths of wisdom on the tree of life every day - all before my morning shit. And if you have need, I could certainly tell your fortune - for a very fair price. (JK don't actually PM me; I'm just shitposting)
Yeah, if one can accept their weaknesses and be honest with themselves, tarot can be a tool for self-reflection or focus. As Amber completely lacks any sense of introspection or self-awareness, she could never answer herself honestly about anything. And she's too lazy to actually take any time to even learn the buzzwords of every card, let alone all of the themes. I mean, 78 cards?!? That's soo many!
I can just hear her trying a reading: "I'm such a good shuffler - I taught myself when I was in the girls home that I was sent to because my parents were horribly abusive and always on drugs. Oh mystical TEAR-ROT, tell me about my relationship with Tommy... Okay, the first card is....
Wha??.... it looks like a castle! And there's lightENing bolts? That's so HECTICANA....Ooh, but the castle is kinda ky-ute. This must mean we're MOVING IN TOGETHER soon! And the lighting is our powerful, but GENTLE love! And since it's a castle, that must mean that I'm her QUEEN!"
OMFG Amber DO SOMETHING! You've gotten so boring there's nothing to talk about except your bullshit training-wheels tarot deck that you haven't even looked at since Jade dumped your ass almost 2 years ago.
I am now convinced that the only reason Amber and her siblings were placed into foster care was due to something like police finding drugs in their home or pulling the parents over, high, with the children in the car.
I don't know about that. As @Constellationzero said, you could almost SMELL Ambo through those childhood photos. I'm sure that combined with her behaviour was already getting her teacher's spidey-senses tingling. I have absolutely no real evidence for this, but sometimes I wonder if it was Amber's heroic story of saving her baby brother was the final nail in the coffin for CPS to get involved. She created this ridiculous story of how her parents were too nodded out from drugs to notice that her baby brother couldn't breathe and was turning purple at the same time that he was screaming his lungs out and only 8 year old little Amby could save him! I could see stupid Amber boasting about that story to a teacher thinking she'd get praise, and instead she got scooped up by the police and dumped into the foster care system. Based on how she's told the stories, being taken by CPS happened very shortly after the "blinds" incident.
Someone mentioned this a while back but Big Al definetely uses her past to guilt trip her mother, with the way she was dramatizing it and going on the whole spiel about having to "fix something that someone else caused"... from my perspective there is no one to blame in this situation, she (like many by the way) was just born into an unfortunate situation, so I wonder who excatly she is blaming this on.

Amber's perspective doesn't match your perspective. (Edited to Add: sorry, that came out nasty and wasn't my intent. I meant that you see if from a more rational and detached perspective, and she sees it from an entitled and self-victimizing one). If there's no one to blame, then Amber's not a victim. Amber likes to say that she's forgiven her mom and that it's not her mom's fault because her mom is currently useful to her.
Amber whole-heartedly blames her parents for this mess (especially her mother because Amber hates and gets more aggressive with women). And if something happened and Kristine were to suddenly be out of the picture for whatever reason, Amber would go full force blaming Kristine for everything wrong in Amber's life.
I haven't caught up but I have to comment, if Amber had broken her leg she would be using that has an excuse for everything. I'm 600 pounds because I broke my leg once. I can't exercise because I broke my leg once. The reason I can't drive isn't because I'm a fat pig and can't fit behind the wheel, it's because I broke my leg as a kid. The doctor told me I have lympadema, Lipedema because I broke my leg once. I'm not an award winning choreographer/dancer because I broke my leg. I wear the wrong shoes because I broke my leg before. OK, I could go on and on with these.
Also, remember when being friends with all your exes was actually a thing and she knew tons of other people who were friends with their exes? How funny that now not a single one of her exes, or single one of her friends want to have anything to do with her. I don't know any 30 year olds without a single friend in the world. It would be sad if it wasn't her.

Her aunt specifically said this at one point forever ago. It's why they were estranged until recently- Amber would keep brow beating her mom to the point where it threatened her sobriety
She has said many times, in many videos, that she got 3rd degree burns from microwave ramen noodles, or was it pasta? in a trailer or somewhere else; she did or didn't seek medical care, and she has never had a single unsightly scar.
No one has ever believed any of the abuse and injury stories. None of them are ever told the same way twice. One reactor made a compilation of all the different stories she's told about her broken arm and legs. She just makes up whatever she thinks you want to hear to give her an excuse to not be held accountable for her behavior.

Powerlevel but I got second degree burns as a kid from an accident with boiling water, I was in serious pain for two weeks and had dark ugly scars for 15 years. ALR is a goddamn liar.
I believe that happened when she and Jade were out walking twonks in her new ill fitting shoes. I heard the theory that she played it up being way worse than it actually was to make Jade feel bad for making her walk more. Which I 100% believe
It's the NPD Smirk. She shows it most when she's REALLY feeling herself and starts going after other YT'ers. It's the 'wow i totally GOT em, im so proud of myself' smirk.
It happens a lot during the 'discard phase' of NPD, which would make sense with her saying the most vile shit to ZM out of nowhere. She wants to feel powerful, so she's burning bridges. (Though she can just stand on the bridge and break it that way, but whatever!)
I can't be quoting everyone but those stories and injuries I mentioned Hamber talking about were never made out to be abuse. She thought they were interesting factoids. I'm stressing the fact she thought those stories were all cute and funny whilst also saying her childhood was full of abuse at the same time but the super interesting, unique injuries and ''abuse'' never became merged.
Someone else already backed up the 3rd degree burns. She told that story with a big grin as if it was all shits and giggs (the most obvious lie due to her bragging about magically healing with no scars). Again, didn't imply it was abuse. That was never in question.
These claims (the choking, burning, breaking) were never painted as abuse by her, that was not my point. My point was those lies were pushed to be special and unique not abused but in an abusive home, they would be* a problem.
Tommy aka the con-artist formerly known as Emily Franz shovelled crumbl cookies into Amber's gaping maw as Pookie seductively pawed at her lil fried eggs like the sexy sex kitten that she is.
To be such a rigid and inflexible person, Hambur sure keeps her stories fluid. Whatever she needs to say to portray herself as dainty/vulnerable/quirky/unique/a damsel in distress/etc., facts be damned.
I see red when Amber starts going on about her “abuse” because it’s always the same; person X was so overcome with lust at the sight of her that they couldn’t control themselves. Like being raped directly correlates to your level of attractiveness. That alone tells me she was never sexually abused. She was probably bullied a lot by other kids, but adults telling a super morbidly obese kid to put down the chips isn’t bullying.
