#IS SO IMPORTANT

Your art is amazing and so cute! Do you have any drawing/anatomy tips you’re willing to share?

Oh man I don't know if I'm in any position to give ANATOMY tips specifically hgfdkh I feel I still have a LOT to learn in that regard!! I have a degree in Graphic Design but tbh a lot of those classes were based in - well graphic design and didn't cover a ton of drawing/illustration stuff, so much of what I know is self-taught!

I'd say just in general, draw as much as possible. Even if it didn't turn out exactly the way you want. I'm gonna post some Cringe Art of mine to show some examples

I Did not like how these turned out in the end. BUT they were requests from my Strawpage and this was super early on in me posting on twitter n gaining a little following, so I just pushed on, finished them, and posted them. Not letting myself get Obsessed with one drawing and making sure it turned out "perfect" helped me to just KEEP drawing, which sharpened my skills and gave me WAY more muscle memory! I used to have to check other drawings of Arkham Ed to make sure I was drawing him right, but now I could pop out an Origins, City, or Knight Riddler with one hand behind my back because I've drawn him. So many times now ghksfh

and I think this general advice applies to technical skills like anatomy, lighting, etc. too! The more you just force yourself to draw that janky hand and keep it moving, you'll learn what you DON'T want things to look like, and eventually you'll kind of Teach Yourself the way it's supposed to look. At least for you in your art style!!

AND OFC THANK YOU SM FOR THE COMPLIMENT YOU ARE TOO SWEET

i wish there was more in person plural community. like, i'm able to find a queer community at school (my main in person community space), because we're able to speak about it and find each other. there's a club dedicated to us, the concept of queerness is well known and mainstream enough that there is at least sometimes space for us. people put pronouns in their bios and emails, we can mention having a same-gender partner or changing our name. even if nothing is done about it, it's acknowledged that discrimination against queer people exists and is against the rules. we can talk about it safely (all of that is in my own experience in a fairly progressive area. queerness and plurality are obviously very different and have very different histories regarding discrimination. i'm comparing them because they are both parts of our identity that can be similarly isolating and difficult to talk about).

in contrast, plurality is almost entirely isolating. sure, there's discord servers and other online communities, but there is just no safety in person. it's incredibly difficult to find other plural people, especially nearby or in the same spaces as us (such as school). even though statistically, there should be at least two, more likely several or more of us in our (large) school, it often feels like we are the only system in a 100 mile radius. it's difficult to explain to singlets and in our experience, leads to them ignoring it (not calling us by our names, etc), being really weird about it ("omg can i date x fictive i love that character") or just trying to prove us wrong. unfortunately, this inability to be open about plurality or talk about it at all leads to us not being able to find each other in person, making us feel lonely or even like it would be ridiculous to want anyone to acknowledge or accommodate us, because we feel like we are the only system there anyways.

in my mind, at least, the only remedy for this is more visibility and awareness about the plural community, especially offline. for us, this just means having a plural (&) pin on our pencil case, having our spotify public on our discord profile while we're listening to our plural feels playlist, or using we/us for ourselves instead of me/i. maybe it means making a social media post about a funny thing a plural friend said (w/ permission ofc) or mentioning a plural youtuber as one of your favorite youtubers. maybe it even means letting your friends know that you're plural or introducing yourselves with your own names if you're in a club or smth that does intros every meeting. my point is, having visibility doesn't have to be fully "coming out" if you can't/don't want to do that. a pin that only other plurals would understand or using some plural language is fine too (of course, you don't have to be open in any way about your plurality at all). the point is that showing in some way, no matter how subtly, your plurality might help other plurals to see you and realize that they are not alone. it might cause a singlet to look into plurality and be more accepting and safe. it might start to open a door for in person community. or it might not. but regardless of whether the plurals that see you and realize that there are plural people in that space talk to you about it or do anything with this information, at least someone feels more safe, and less alone. -Zephyr, they/them

mm your post and reblogs get my cock throbbing and the yearning to fill your yummy little pussy while staring into them beautiful eyes.

What an experience indeed.

I want you to talk about a cheerful asexual. Not grumpy, not harsh, who doesn't reject love or simply don't find it corny, too sweet.

I want one described as eccentric, enthusiastic, full of life.

not shy, but outgoing, unconventional.

damn, let's stop talking about queers as usual. because we're blocking a lot of beautiful character opportunities, not taking into account that there's not one version of everything, maintaining a stereotype. and making so many people feel unrepresented.

sexuality does not represent a person's character.

Tying her to the bed, with nipple clamps and a gag. Eating her out until she’s crying. So sensitive, squirming under me.

After we’ll cuddle as I tell her how good she was for me<3

mostly writing this for myself bc i wanna get these thoughts out, but i wanna talk abt the ending of good omens...

just had people very close to me try to tell me that crowley and aziraphale's interactions at the end felt forced. which to me is CRAZY. as someone who has been in the fandom since i was a child, it's literally always been fact (even confirmed by neil himself) that it was a love story. it was about them connecting with each other and learning more about themselves and the world and it was so beautiful and amazing. everyone was scared season two would ruin it but it DIDNT. it added on so many more layers and at least i feel was a good ending because it allows the story to be drawn out more bc obviously nothing is going to happen quick with them.

another point is good omens is SUCH a revolutionary piece of queer media. it has such effortless inclusion and representation and it's just so outstanding in that department. it makes me so happy and to have people close to me ridicule that aspect and call it unnecessary makes me so sad and hurt. call me sensitive but i hold any representation the community can get close to the heart. that's all i have to say ✌peace homedawgs

ok so i decided to watch flee and the emotion i got when after all the horrific shit amin describes going through as a refugee, he explains how after he came out to his family his brother immediately gave him money to go to a gay bar, is indescribable. this movie is incredible

[cvbin-fever]

media that displays openly verbal/physical affectionate platonic relationships is soooo important i will fight to the death for this

I just did a SIM (safety in motion) training for my new job in a warehouse, and LET ME TELL YOU. It is SO vital to not cut corners on the way you line up and position your body in movement, especially when you add lifting into the equation. I wish I could remember the exact numbers off the top of my head, but a ballpark is that by doing fig.A up there, a 10lb object is going to end up putting the equivalent around 800lbs of pressure on your lower back.

When you forgo engaging your legs and keeping your spinal curves aligned, you are multiplying the aweigh strain on your back by close to 100x that of the object. Think about that. Here’s the thing. It’s gonna burn in your legs to engage this way in how you move, but only in that moment ! Your legs are literally built to do this. You’ve got huge stable muscles that can do this all day long, and sure you may be tired and sore at the end of it, but compared to what you’d do to your back ?? Your back —particularly your lower back— is not designed to life your entire torso up that way. Around 60% of your body weight is waist up, and the delicate, intricate weave of muscle in your back is going to get so angry at you if you ask it to do that much all day long. That’s not even adding in lifting objects 5, 10, 30 pounds on top of that. It’s going to burn in the moment, it’s going to be sore and tired, and it’s going to continually get worse and worse because the muscles are. Not. Designed. To. Lift. You will fuck your back up. Period.

Be nice to your back. Let your legs do the heavy lifting, avoid letting your spine curve inwards, and FEEL the difference it makes in your day to day.

you motherfuckers better be lifting with your legs and not your back

there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living

With Kamala/Walz going up DAILY, I've seen more people talking about voting third party/Jill Stein (EW) and I believe the above screencaps from @three--rings can explain WHY Third Party votes NEVER work NOR is this the election to screw around in.

Everyone....like she says above.....PLEASE LEARN FROM HISTORY!!!

(Because if Trump gets in, he's NEVER LEAVING).

If there's one thing I'll add to this, Faces too! Different faces and head types are very important and most people just keep drawing the same ones.

Learn to draw different jaws, cheeks, mouths/lips, eye shape distance and depth, and that's just the first steps. Even with very simple designs you should think about the shapes you're using for your characters head. Trust me it will substantially improve your design work, especially if you're looking to build a portfolio

Begging character designers to stop doing this.
