the book in bsd doesn't exist because dazai has been tearing out its pages and hiding them in atsushi's chazuke for weeks now and atsushi eats, like, ten bowls at a time.

Hello so I really like your art style and the way you draw the transformers. And I was wondering if I could ask how did you learn how to draw them?

And do you have any tips for beginners?

Also read the fic btw and it’s genuinely one of the best things I’ve read. So keep up the good work and take breaks when you need too.

There're definitely ppl who can explain it better than me, like @bloominglegumes in this post here , but I here's a bit about how I approach it!

That's basically how I visualize it. It also helps to have reference when you're first starting out. Transformers are wacky to draw cause u need knowledge of organic and inorganic shapes and how they mesh. Personally I try not to let my guys look too stiff. I try to keep lines curved, even if they look straight on first inspection. Technically not realistic since they're made of metal, but it just looks better.

I lied, I don’t actually like sex. Put your clothes back on, I’m going to explain in detail why Will getting his ‘happy end’ by getting over his feelings for Mike & ending up with another guy wouldn’t be a happy end at all.

Booing Ver isn't enough I need him to retire and for Red Bull to be dissolved as an institution and for Christian Horner to drop dead and for Helmut Marko to crawl back into the crypt he escaped from

i regularly see people in the tags confused by which of my dogs are which and people in my real life struggle with this as well, so here's how i remember:

Sparta - built for efficiency, no extra frills, small but gritty and armed to the teeth

Troja - hollow horse.

just for fun this time during 'sea of blood' I counted out all the venatori corpses I think we can be pretty sure were lucanis' handiwork before we show up (not including the ones he kills in his initial cutscene, and with an assumption that he's been at work mainly up and down in the areas we move through until we find him, not behind the locked door -- I think that's mostly the work of rampaging undead and other venatori-hoisted-by-their-own-petard suchlikes). can thus happily inform you lucanis has killed at least 32 venatori before rook and company get there. at least one of them he's impaled on their own weird crystal spike things the venatori mages cast as an AOE attack and that they're trying to keep him contained with when we find him. so he's clearly been keeping busy lol. that's my boy dispensing poetic justice and claiming some enrichment in his enclosure while he's at it good for him!

What is dl owo

DLsite, the godsend magical place for all kinds of manga and audio-works! its where i go mostly to get my yandere/porn fix lol

I buy DLsite points now (here)! or you should be able to find the page to buy points in My page > Purchase Points > DL Pay. it works kind of weird in that you sort of send yourself an invoice to buy the points, and you'll get a serial code which you can input to get your points in your page!

So, I was today years old when I found out that "Erebor" is the elvish name for the Lonely Mountain!

I fell down a rabbit hole by accident and found out that the name “Erebor” is only used in the films - in the book The Hobbit everyone calls it The Lonely Mountain. I guess they use it in the films because it sounds somehow more magical?

Just between you, me, and the gatepost, it’s a fun headcanon to think there's no frikkin way that Thorin elf-hater Oakenshield would refer to his kingdom in elvish… opens a lot of possibilities for fic!

The khuzdul word is apparently Azsâlul'abad - I know the dwarrow wouldn’t call it that amongst outsiders, but it’s still interesting to know, especially if you’re writing from Thorin’s POV!

Anyway, this blew my mind, so I wanted to share it for anyone else who might not know!

Saw DA Veilguard is free on PS Plus this month (oof) and started playing it. I've gone as far as the first Veil Jumper camp in the beginning, and it's ok so far; any advice for an Origins lover moving forward?

oof indeed 😭 veilguard sits in such a weird place, it's got some really cool moments and some of my fave characters but so much of it feels like the most watered down version of series identity they could get away with while still slapping a dragon age title on it. if you can play under the mindset of "a polished new fantasy adventure game with some really gorgeous spectacle" vs "a strangely hollow subpar Dragon Age experience" you'll probably enjoy it a lot more.

gameplay-wise i found it the easiest of all the entries by far, but after a while combat does get repetitive and enemies can be really damage-spongy, so don't be afraid to turn the difficulty down if you're tired of every fight taking like ten minutes.

the only thing i would say to watch out for, in as non-spoilery terms as i can: you'll have a choice to make at the end of act one, with each of the two options presented by a party member. if you want to romance one of those characters, you'll probably want to go with what they suggest. (also, in general, make sure you've completed the latest round of party member quests before embarking onto the next act--the end of act quests aren't always signposted super well but you'll usually have a good sense of when things are about to get Dramatic.)

louis’ been the punching bag for years by syco and though i believe he still lacks confidence, he is tough as nails and can handle us being mad at him.

I really fucking hate this. He’s THE punching bag for this fandom, the so called larries, in his corner. And his fault is that he is closeted. 💔 while others get to thrive because he’s the one who gets crushed.

hi hello welcome to the coke sessions!!

well my dear i think it’s very nuanced. i understand some larries frustration and i understand the choices louis makes. it’s my desire for him to become elphaba and defy gravity but that’s also cos im not in his situation and have the privilege to want that of him.

it’s easy to say shit when it’s not directly effecting you. that’s why i want to use the privilege i have to yell at the people in my phone to remember it all comes down to the parasitic contracts they were put under when they were CHILDREN.

louis is a victim. it’s not being said to romanticize him, it’s just a fact. does that absolve him of being problematic or whatever you disagree with that he’s done? of course not. throwing larries under the bus to be constantly harassed is well…

obvs you can only do what’s best for you but the reality that he’s fought back against his closet and a lot of these people have a personal vendetta against him is what is keeping me from not getting emotional about another stunt. especially cos i don’t believe he’s “sold out” to be a chav or anything. i mean he only has 2.5 million listeners on spotify hardly any of this is benefiting him and if his team think it is they’re dumb.

in the end, we have to remember the industry does not care about these artists and it is literally a design to exploit them and then swallow them hole and oh also steal their music cos idk if you’re aware, they take out life insurance policies on artists. why exactly does a label need to make even more money off you when you die when they’re already have everything of you?

Your art and your rendering is soooo cool 😭 I am obsessed.

Do you mind me being cheeky and asking if you use any particular colouring method? I noticed that you start rendering in black and white.

(Even cheekier question, I want to know your artboard size because it looks so crisp).

Thank you 💕

Heya! Thanks so much!

For colour I usually do a multiply layer over my greyscale rendering, it mutes the colours a bit but I actually really like that (and you can compensate with more saturation if you want to).

I’ve occasionally done a gradient layer for the whole piece and then added more specific colours on top, I did that for these two:

Any effects like glow, embers, etc I do as separate layers so I can control the intensity and opacity.

My start size is usually between 3000 and 4000 pixels on the longest side! But the bigger the canvas the fewer layers procreate lets you have, so depending on your working method you can go bigger or smaller.

can’t wait for the byler confession scene so that finn wolfhard can finally beat the bad actor allegations milevens threw at him after s4 🙏🏻
