Controversial opinion of mine apparently but isn't vampirism the only real way you can be pure vegan? You can get consent from adults, doesn't have to harm anyone. No loss of limps ect like volunteer cannibalism. No use of pesticides which kill innocent insects who just trying to eat a nibble. No third party exploited workers it's all just direct and you can even give back various euphoria drug state to ur volunteer.

Hmm a totally not suspicious pigeon at their crime scene.

"Hole what hole? This was like this when i got here" but seriously what is London doing to it's birdss, every pigeon here i meet has at least a toe missing, most their whole foot.

Maybe this is time for pigeon revolution

Digital painting query: being underwater things are blurry but I'm not sure if with digital painting that style looks as good? Which do people think looks better? Should I have even more blur?

For context this is for an underSEAty undercity AU concept.

The UnderSEAty

Summary: Jayce turned back to face the sea. “Laugh all you want Caitlyn. It’s all true and one day I will prove it to everyone. Magic, sea monsters and mermaids are real as pirates. There’s a city out there under the sea, an undercity. An UnderSEAty if you will.”

Caitlyn rolled her eyes and groaned playfully, “that was terrible Jayce”

OR When a child and his mother is saved from an unnatural storm caused by those strange, equally unnatural, purple creatures of the deep by what all know as a myth, no-one believed him. When a man abandoned his family’s business to become a marine biologist only to be known as an occultist, even less believed in him. When a couple of princesses bound to a kingdom with a cursed dockyard, both haunted by family expectations they cannot meet, no one believes they can claim their crowns. When two mer-sisters are torn apart by a world divided, none believe peace exists. When sea-earth crossed lovers meet, only in tragedy they will fall into defeat.

Well all but one. There is always the one who believes. All you ever need is just the one to believe. There is one who SEAs it all

idk I just love how we Young People Today use ~improper~ punctuation/grammar in actually really defined ways to express tone without having to explicitly state tone like that’s just really fucking cool, like

no    =    “No,” she said. 

no.    =    "No,” she said sharply.

No    =    “No,” she stated firmly.

No.    =    “No,” she snapped.

NO    =    “No!” she shouted.

noooooo    =    “No,” she moaned.

no~    =    “No,” she said with a drawn-out sing-song.

~no~    =    “No,” she drawled sarcastically.

NOOOOO    =    “No!” she screamed dramatically.

no?!    =    “No,” she said incredulously.

some handy tips for drawing men that look like men and women that look like women:

on average, a man’s shoulders should be around 2.5 to 3 heads wide. a woman’s shoulders should be infinite, extending like an eternal flesh ribbon into the howling vortex of time and space

men do NOT have body hair. men have NO hair. men are genetically incapable of growing hair. stop drawing hairy men. stop drawing men altogether. men do NOT exist

DON’T forget the luxurious pelt that all women sport, grown from birth and increasing in length indefinitely until death, typically attaining lengths of up to three metres

women have wider hips than men, who have no hips at all, only negative space and mc escher optical illusions

remember, men and women have different sex characteristics. men have flat chests, tails, and 23 gherkins. women have a narrow waist, known as a “wasp waist”, two pairs of wings, and either an ovipositor or a stinger

women are WASPS

they’re fucking BUGS you piece of SHIT

Hello! Would you mind doing an example of not using filter words in a first person point of view? While I know that you can just switch out the pronouns for I/me/my, I just want to see it in action and when you should (and shouldn't) use the filter words. Thank you!

Hi there! I would love to! I think I’ll start out with an example with filter words and then cut out the filter words to show you the difference.

For those of you who haven’t seen my post on Filter Words.

Now, for the example:

I felt a hand tap my shoulder as I realized I had made a huge mistake. I knew the consequences would be unsettling, but I had no other choice. I saw the light of my desk lamp bounce off of the officer’s badge before I had even turned around. It seemed like I always found my way into trouble.

It was the first thing off the top of my head, so it’s a bit rough sounding….

Now for without filter words (And a bit of revision):

A hand tapped my shoulder as it dawned on me: I had just made a huge mistake. The consequences would be unsettling if I didn’t get out of this mess, but I had no other choice. The light of my desk lamp bounced off of the officer’s badge. I always found my way into trouble.

By taking out filter words, you get right to the point.

I’d also like to add a few more notes that I didn’t have the chance to post previously.

Some Examples of Filtering:

I heard a noise in the hallway.

She felt embarrassed when she tripped.

I saw a light bouncing through the trees.

I tasted the sour tang of raspberries bursting on my tongue.

He smelled his teammate’s BO wafting through the locker room.

She remembered dancing at his wedding.

I think people should be kinder to one another.

How can you apply this?

Read your work to see how many of these filtering words you might be leaning on. Microsoft Word has a great Find and Highlight feature that I love to use when I’m editing. See how you can get rid of these filtering words and take your sentences to the next level by making stronger word choices. Take the above examples, and see how they can be reworked.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: I heard a noise in the hallway.

DESCRIBE THE SOUND: Heels tapped a staccato rhythm in the hallway.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: She felt embarrassed after she tripped.

DESCRIBE WHAT THE FEELING LOOKS LIKE: Her cheeks flushed and her shoulders hunched after she tripped.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: I saw a light bouncing through the trees.

DESCRIBE THE SIGHT: A light bounced through the trees.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: I tasted the sour tang of raspberries bursting on my tongue.

DESCRIBE THE TASTE: The sour tang of raspberries burst on my tongue.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: He smelled his teammate’s BO wafting through the locker room.

DESCRIBE THE SMELL: His teammate’s BO wafted through the locker room.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: She remembered dancing at his wedding.

DESCRIBE THE MEMORY: She had danced at his wedding.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: I think people should be kinder to one another.

DESCRIBE THE THOUGHT: People should be kinder to one another.

See what a difference it makes when you get rid of the filter? It’s simply not necessary to use them. By ditching them, you avoid “telling,” your voice is more active, and your pacing is helped along.

The above list is not comprehensive as there are many examples of filtering words. The idea is to be aware of the concept so that you can recognize instances of it happening in your work. Be aware of where you want to place the energy and power in your sentences. Let your observations flow through your characters with immediacy.

Ok, sorry for the lengthy answer, I know you just wanted an example…. sorry!

Will be like: “Honey I love you but srsly” But really I think he is already used by now.

Everytime I ask myself why I even got Tumblr in the first place,everybody loves to remind me.
