hiii i have a question about your cheka !! did you use the professional or essential version of spine for it (im assuming you're using spine??) :0000 was debating on making some self indulgent sprites myself and i didnt know which version to buy

I use Professional! I don't use it as a professional anymore, but it works just as well for small silly things like fan-chibis. :D personally, I think the Professional features are absolutely essential (despite the cheaper version being called Essentials. it's a lie.) especially if you want to do a Twst-style chibi --I've stared at those little dudes for a looooong time trying to figure out how they work, and they're definitely using meshes, if not also constraints.

meshes are the big dealbreaker for me, since they let you weight the image to bones, and get actual deformation and bendiness:

(ignore the feather floating away, I didn't wanna fix it for the example :')

and of course, constraints are the other big thing! IK is the most obvious one:

but there's also ones that allow relative manipulation of other bones, paths, and all kinds of other fun stuff! I learned about keyable path spacing a while back and it absolutely blew my mind that you can just...DO that. god.

uhhhh yeah, sorry, I'm a Spine stan! I think Professional >>>> Essentials, although the price difference is, unfortunately, pretty steep (if it helps, I believe you can upgrade at any time for the difference in price, and for individuals it's a one-time purchase with perpetual free updates). it has a little bit of a learning curve, but once I got used to the UI I found it really intuitive, and there's plenty of documentation and tutorials!

tl;dr it's pretty expensive if you aren't using it professionally -- and you could definitely get good results using Essentials if you're clever about rigging -- but Professional is far and away the superior version.

Did you know that post you reblogged about taking inspo from other fics was actually just about using the same trope? Another writer got bullied off the site again for this

hi! i did not know the specifics of anything and assumed it was just a general post abt the state of fic on this site, and i see now i have missed a lot.

i sincerely hope my additions to that post did not contribute to anyone being bullied, because i was speaking broadly and not about anyone in particular.

a good reminder that no one owns tropes and things overlap constantly in this world. it’s fanfiction, at the end of the day, and nowhere near serious enough that anyone should be bullied off of this site. get real.

╳┆The ground beneath them groaned, preceding its shift by mere moments. He prepared to leap from one platform to the next, but his borrowed attire got the better of him and he sorely undershot the landing. The ledge scraped him from shin to chest on his downward plummet, arms just barely catching the platform before he managed to sink toward oblivion.

As he began dragging himself toward safety, fighting the rotation of the still-turning maze, he felt someone grab his wrist and hoist him to relative safety.

“Stay on yer feet,” Gajeel snapped, irritation laden in both face and voice, “If yer gonna be embarrassing, do it away from me.”

“Right,” he agreed, just barely managing to suppress his mortification. Only the first event and he was already making a mess of things. Not using his own magic was going to be even more of a challenge than he'd already anticipated.

Blasted pants. It’s hard to believe there is any alternate version of himself that would wear these gravity defying monstrosities.

Belatedly, he tossed out an underbreath, "Appreciate it," as they turned to catch up with the others, who had taken the shifting map into stride and carried on without missing a beat.

Gajeel grumbled back, "Don't mention it."

╳┆As the third day's events began and the stadium came abuzz, he found his window to slip away unnoticed. The past few nights of aimless roaming about, catching whispers of that sour presence on the wind, have yet to bear fruit. All that time wasted was compounding; it made his bones itch. He hadn't attended these games on holiday — hadn't broken the rules and risked Fairy Tail's elimination just to suffer a humiliating forfeit and then sulk in the stands. No, there was something evil lurking about, and he fully intended to find it.

"They went that way."

Despite his prickly countenance, Gajeel seemed adept at sneaking about. Jellal barely heard him approach before he'd issued his offhand comment, pointing in the opposite direction in which Jellal originally intended to go.

Just as he opened his mouth to respond, Gajeel cut him off to explain, "They stink."

Jellal nodded, remembering the reaction he received upon his last expression of gratitude, and shifted his stride accordingly. "Tell me how the day goes."

"Nah," Gajeel called behind him, "I ain't yer fuckin' parrot."

The problem is the only three career paths I can imagine myself taking are silversmithing, taking care of elderly cats or singing in a hotel lounge

i’m trying to think of other book series i liked as a kid/teen… i know i REALLY liked the alex rider series. i also read a series called skullduggery pleasant which i don’t remember much of but i do remember the main character had to send a mirror clone of herself to school and she had to take her school jacket off before doing the spell or else her school’s logo would be mirrored on the clone. as for the big series, percy jackson was my number one, as well as the kane chronicles. i also remember insisting my mom braid my hair for special events and even send me to a girl scout camp that offered archery because of the hunger games.

what else. i read the uglies series way too young bc my mom loved it. and i read the other book series by the uglies author that was like about parasites and every few chapters was about an irl parasite and that’s how i learned abt the Parasite That Makes You Love Your Cat. i already mentioned this series in another post but i cannot overstate how obsessed i was with the arthur brown series for a good while.

The serious Faramir content you're here for:

So many depictions of Faramir give him fairly short hair and a beard (wrong) yet none of them look like Xenk Yendar. :\

Also, D&D Faramir would 100% be a paladin.

gotta be honest jason momoa’s character in the fast n furious movie is like so insanely textbook deranged off-the-rails effeminate queer villain that i was like actually impressed with how over the godamn top the sheer explicit homophobia of it all was. unfortunately he was also incredibly entertaining to watch and an amazing contrast to the grim seriousness of vin diesel so i was obsessed with the performance nonetheless

Wanda looking into making a line of nice silicone rings after being with Skitch for awhile. She had heard more than one of the folks that work at Maker’s Damned talk about wearing silicone bands in place of their wedding bands while they’re at work. She’s totally just doing this so they’ll all just have nicer choices available to them. Totally not cause she’s picturing Skitch wearing one. So what if she has them all made in Skitch’s ring size? Coincidence.

Bruh 🥺

This is totally something Wanda would do

Wanda paying extra attention to which designs Skitch gravitates toward when she shows them the test designs 👀

I can see Wanda working with a company to make a more durable solution with a higher concentrate of siloxane bonds to make the silicone rings out of so that they are ensured safe to where while working in the metalworking shop.

(inky side tangent: as far as I understand, siloxane is what gives silicone it's industrial benefits: low thermal conductivity, water resistance, and flexibility, so that's where my higher concentration theory comes from. Can't tell you if it would work, but hey this is fiction soooo-)

Skitch as well as their coworkers are actually pretty touched by the gesture, most of all Remy, who's gone through two bands already. He and his wife, Anna-Marie, are overjoyed, probably spared Skitch from Remy's teasing for a while too 😂

Wanda's definitely gotten a card and gift basket from Anna-Marie as well 😊

Wanda likes all of Skitch's coworkers, so this is something that she doesn't mind doing for all of them. These are pre-releases of course, Wanda has a few things in the forks ahead of time, but she does officially make them a part of her catalogue further down the line.

The name of the line you ask? The Maker's Chosen

Max contacted us with a specific customization request. He wanted to modify the 14K Yellow Gold 4mm Rolo Toggle Chain Necklace by replacing the permanent ring that holds the toggle with a removable ring. This would allow Max to add or change charms on the necklace based on his mood or occasion.

Max was thrilled with the options and chose the design that best suited his style.
