#My school is dumb

[mayonesamitch]

These are actual quotes said from my classmates or just little kids. If you really want context to them I'll give it to you if you ask. As you can see, the people at my school make a lot of autism jokes. I don't approve of some of these quotes. Anyways, I'll pass this challenge onto @mizuruifan9 and @irenecatz

@irenecatz I know we go to the same school but I'm sure you can think of more.

SCHOOL STORIES

So, today I was sitting on a long break (20 minutes) in the corridor outside the class with my friend. We talk normally, as if nothing had happened, when suddenly my friend runs up and calls if I want a tangerine. Of course, already used to his behavior, I immediately called "NO", but how did he do anything about it and threw it on my feet -_-. We get fruit in the cafeteria, and since I forget to take fruit out of my backpack and have already had to wash it because of mold, I actually had two tangerines now. I didn't want to hide the one from Karol in my backpack (it was already peeled anyway), so I decided to throw the bitten pieces with the peel into the bin and eat the rest. Just after I had eaten and thrown away what was needed, this friend came up to me and said "Hey, but don't eat this tangerine by any chance, because it was already spoiled." And I looked at him like he just announced that Antarctica is the warmest country in the world, you know? So I yell at him "Well, I won't say - YOU ARE A LITTLE LATE" No stress - I'm alive, I'm fine, I don't have any... food poisoning or anything. Only my other friend started singing "I swallowed shampoo", only changed it to "You eat broken tangerine". So well... MY CLASS CONSISTS ONLY OF SMART PEOPLE. Seriously. No bullshit... THERE IS NO sarcasm here.

Thanks for reading XD

Does anyone else hate that meme about only boys thinking about the Roman Empire and girls (and some gay men) gleefully being like “I only think about [insert current pop culture trend]”.

And it’s like continuing the meme that boys are intelligent beings, interested in history while girls are just…not

This coupled with the girl math thing, and also the “boys when they time travel vs. girls” and overall bimbofication trend. We’e going back in time where pretending to be stupid and vapid was the norm and it just alienates women who are proud of their intelligence even more from other women

I haven't seen any posts about this yet but l've seen some fan art that makes me feel this needs to be said:

Don't forget Leah Sava Jeffries has darker skin when making Annabeth Chase fan art!

She is much closer to Lupita Nyong'o than Zoe Kravitz when it comes to shading, reflection, and complementary color usage :).

Lighting for dark skin is different on light skin. Light skin gets changed by lighting, and dark skin reflects the lighting. Below is a lovely shot of Nyong'o's character from Wakanda Forever in mourning. The filmmakers emphasize the umber qualities of her skin in contrast to the funereal white and (arguably harsh) light across her shoulder below.

Try to pick spots that aren't directly in or near the light, and try mixing 3 or more! You can put it into a color mixer online, or even color pick, lower the opacity, and lay the shades over each other until you find one that fits. And of course, the more 'realistic' you want to go with shading and lighting, the more shades you're going to want to be able to explore vivaciously :D.

Let's take a look at the same 3 beautiful actresses I mentioned at the beginning, with a bad color picked area and a better-ish color picked area. (Please keep in mind, these are not perfect comparisons, as I was not able to find pictures of all 3 actresses under the same kind of lighting.)

Kravitz's has a clear difference between the two, but they aren't too far apart, in comparison to Nyong’o’s and Jeffries’s. Note the dullness in the poorly picked shades as opposed to the better ones. Also keep in mind that while Kravitz has a rosy undertone (at least in that picture - it’s from The Batman, which has stylized coloring) Nyong’o has a slight cool undertone (I can’t pin down quite what, but the picture is definitely not stylized like Kravitz’s).

Jeffries runs more ochre or russet, but neither of those are pink. They are more red than terracotta or umber, but to call Jeffries’s face rosy would be wrong. Err more towards the golden when drawing her.

^^saved an image from a writing tutorial long ago, but can’t seem to find it. If someone recognizes it, I’ll link it. EDIT: it’s from this post. Thanks @autumnrowancollector ! <3

And also, the darker skin gets, the less likely warm undertones are going to appear. Don't be afraid to use blue or purple or even green on occasion!

Additionally, cool lighting on dark skin is always a win imo.

(I was going to use that picture of Jeffries as Annabeth by the lightning bolt, but then I realized the lighting on her face doesn’t quite match up with where it should hit from that angle, and I realized they kind of just turned everything bluer, so screenshot time!)

(Also if you want another really great live action example, check out anything Aldis Hodge is in, like Leverage and Black Adam)(and of course there’s Spiderverse <3 but I want to post pictures of Hodge)

Now, to here’s a list of more experienced people’s advice:

Black facial features & hair

Shading digitally for a (somewhat) monotone Black character

Stylistic choices and places to start looking for inspiration (besides a search engine).

Coloring Black people’s lips

A better coloration tutorial

Also a nice tutorial for Indigenous skin tones, just in case yall want to draw Piper or use this information for other dark skinned characters :).

EDIT: Some actresses who are closer in skintone to use for Annabeth, provided by the lovely @blackfemmecharacterdependency ! If you can’t find a reference for Jeffries in a specific lighting, maybe check out these ladies’ pictures! It’s a reblog, so scroll down.

TLDR: Don’t make Annabeth pink and pale, make her dark and golden.
