#NOTE TO SELF:

anthony mackie saying 'half a wing, playboy' when danny ramirez won't answer a question has been keeping me up at night for two days now, how's everyone else holding up

[sekai-no-reita]

Does anyone else get these sudden moments of reality followed by utter despair when you truly realize he is not here anymore and all you can do is cry your eyes out?

[sluttery-withoutshame]

I really am trying to not get my hopes up, but IF I can go to Vegas, I am going to have to get this made.

Having to watch my step with this month's newsletter. Gotta remember that neurology 101 is not standard education everybody got.

[queen-mabs-revenge]

in the haze of the posting frenzy i forgot that this isn't standard reaction behaviour outside of very specific places 💀

So apparently I was so tired after school today that I fell asleep for 6 something hours straight.

Without changing.

I feel asleep in my uniform.

I came back home at 1:30 pm.

I woke up at 6:45 pm.

And I physically felt like I got fried alive when I woke up

Like damn ok I'll try not to pull a near all nighter again 😭💀 geez(for context, I stayed up till 4 am in the morning to complete homework because I had notebook submission today)

A few people have actually asked how I drew mouths so I thought I would share a tip that’s helped me

(REMINDER!! This helped me and my style, it may not translate well for your style, don’t be afraid to keep searching for and combining art advice to best suit your style and methods)

Basically I draw a rough sketch of actual teeth (this is super rough and not anatomically correct)

It helps if you colour code the teeth, drawing them top down can also help a lot

Then I line the teeth up with a basic shape of mouth I want, and sketch over where the underlying sketch is, adjusting placement if needed

This basically does what I like to call windowing

You can break up your process into parts and make it easier to get a finished product

Instead of focusing on how they both work together you can draw the teeth and set them aside out of the way and not worry about them

Then you can focus on the mouth without worrying what shape you have to draw the teeth to fit

Then you join /them together, because you already have the base of both it’s easier to look at them in separate parts,

Like flipping the canvas, it gets your brain to go “oh that looks wrong’

‘None of this makes sense I’m so sorry

I haven’t been to a dentist in like 5 years

Rodrigo de Paul posted this on his own Instagram and is there a more blatant “my ex dumped me?”

[nicmares404]

Feeeeeesh

[fierceawakening]

So I was reading @seananmcguire ‘s (lovely! Fun! Wonderful!) Duskmourn story extras and got to the part where it said something like

“The Wanderer didn’t kill your mother. Phyrexia did. She just made sure it would stick.”

And I could not be more certain that getting annoyed enough with the Phyrexia story to write my own damn Borg expy was a good decision.

Kax isn’t Dead Cass, she’s just CHANGED Cass.

There are things she’s lost and realizing dimly she will never get back, and I look forward to writing the full incandescence of her rage at realizing they bulldozed through important parts of Cass to create her, and creating her was just about forging a weapon, not about giving the person she once was a gift…

…but she gets to be a character, a person, in her own right.

Friends, I made Such a Good Decision.

I’m not even angry any more, honestly.

I get to tell the post-transformation story myself.

That means it gets to be MINE.

[valiant-if]

To the anon that reported the isn't/aren't mistake: I accidentally deleted the ask, but thank you for the report! The mistake in question is related to pronoun plurization, so I either forgot to code it in or coded it incorrectly. I will take a look and fix it for the next update. Thanks again!

[agbpaints]

Huh

Note to self: Elaborate later?/check notes. I haven’t figured it all but I have secondhand, archetypal knowledge from that winter-spring lecture.

^Was going to say something similar about liking maximalism.

In addition, this thematic “event” even happens in real life. People who have spent a long time together mirror each other’s mannerisms.

the best kind of character writing i think doesn't confine its characters to having one or two specific narrative foils or parallels but instead writes every character as having traits that both contradict and mirror the others, like splitting a beam of light through a refracting prism

[persianmom]

your only job on this earth is to be so intrinsically yourself that the right people gravitate toward you and the wrong people move out of your way

[identitty-dickruption]

choosing to allocate spoons to hanging out and having a good time at the cost of perfectly completing all your work is not a failing it is in fact an act of survival. “too sick to work = too sick to play” is in fact ableist bullshit that you don’t have to buy into. and the fact that leisure time is treated like a privilege is a fucking travesty
