Folks with this whole "you're old once you hit 25" mentality are just buying into a repackaged "you need to have your life figured out by 18 and if you're not successful by 22 you're a failure" load of shit. Like....bruh, life doesn't end at 25. Idk how to tell you that the time limit you're silently imposing on yourself and your peers is largely responsible for your dissatisfaction with your life. Stop living your life like happiness has an expiration date. It doesn't.

We need to have more amab trans characters (nonbinaries transfemmes ect) btw. Bc first off underrepresented as hell and second off people are so quick to assume maleness and masculinity as default so I feel like we should try to unpack that more. Make some ocs today, perhaps?

"How to include realistic features in your art - Face Equality Week Special by Kris Volyk ( NWarrior777 )

tumblr shadowbanned this post and you can't find it in tags. it's second try to upload this and reach people it was hardly made for

I've seen this event on instagram and thought that i just have to participate! It's so beautiful celebration of people differences beauty. My participation is to inspire more artist to see this beauty and bring it into art, as representative artist

I feel like media got so much worse once i started just like. Taking a mental note of how many stories are about a dude’s dead wife and/or daughter, and said death motivating him to go do whatever the plot needs him to do

Do your ocs celebrate the holidays? In what ways? If not, what do they usually do?

-creation help

The most interesting answer to this is Simon and Lucy, so I'm going with that.

Simon and Lucy are both interfaith since mom is Christian and Dad is Jewish. Since they were raised with both, they celebrate BOTH Christian and Jewish holidays. Their traditions are similar to ours, but with an Addams-esque monstery twist as well as humany ones.

For example:

• Mistletoad (Mistletoe with a toad in it) from @drericka

• A Hannukah Manora with a bat and monster candles

• Poison toffee Apples for Rosh Hashana

• Vampire-ear shaped hamantachen filled with eye of newt

• Chocolate frog hunts on Passover

• Shrunken heads and spiders as christmas ornaments

• snake garlands

• Honestly most things from Nightmare before Christmas would be perfect for them. Right down to the vampire teddy.

• Black-wrapped christmas presents or other spooky wrapping paper

• Webbing tree skirt

• Twice the dress up fun: Halloween AND Purim

• Spooky candies like Cockroach clusters, blood-flavored lollipops, sugary butterfly wings, chocolate skeletons, etc

Like imagine the Haunted Holiday Haunted Mansion take over but with both Hannukah and Christmas, you kinda get the vibe of Drac Fam holidays.

Also when they're older and traveling around, they always come back home for holidays too.

Getting to know your character better

Here's some (hopefully) less basic things to think about when deepening your character.

- What would they be embarrassed to admit about themself? What would they deny about themself?

- Opposite to the above: What would they proudly admit, and what would they like to claim about themself?

- If caught in an inconsistency or a hypocrisy, how do they react? How would they go about fixing it, or alternatively, how would they go about denying and deconstructing it?

- How much, and how deeply do they think about other characters' opinions that aren't about them specifically? For example if they knew one of their friends liked or disliked another person, how much thought do they give it?

- Are they able to perform something 'Quick'? Do they prefer to sacrifice time over quality, or vice versa? How do they dispense effort per task?

- How patient are they with themself vs. Others? Why, and how so?

- How seriously do they carry other people's worries? How much does this impact their actions?

- What would make them focus on themself more?

- What would they Not want to change about themself? What parts of their self do they cling to, desperately? Even when those things would be already gone?

- Do they think of something as "Their thing", even though other people would disagree? Why so? Are they just not as open or upfront about it as they think? Or do they have gaps in self perception?

- Opposite of the above: Are there some things that others would consider "Their thing" in relation to your character, but they disagree? Why?

- How do they tread around controversial opinions? Is it case by case, or depending on company? In what way? Are they assured in their worldview or unsure? Are they open minded?

- How easily do they relate with other characters?

Tell me about your newest oc

[creation-help]

when you get an idea for a fic but you know you’re going to have to really take your time with it in order to properly capture all the little details and plot points and themes you want to convey, but also you’re an impatient bitch who wants to write out and read that fun story in your head right fuckin’ now

[creation-help]

Oc thought exercise

Think about what kind of opinions your oc holds. Not necessarily strictly related to lore things or even super crucial stuff, just general opinions. Like favourite animals or colors perhaps? Or least favourite things? Do they have any hot takes? Or are they a normie for their own setting in terms of opinions?

This kinda stuff, while not always directly contributing to crucial plot points, can help you round out and figure out what kind of person your character is. It can help you make little trails down to their very core, through these kinds of small facets of their character. It's also fun :)

i've died on smaller hills, so i can't judge. but i do think it's funny whenever posts about the proper definition of a poor little meow meow circulate, considering none of them mention that the origin was a kpop fan's absolutely bonkers tweet about not being able to protect a full grown man who was getting backlash for including audio from the jonestown cult leader jim jones in one of his songs
