Old Zero Dawn Shots (1/8)

I feel like the camera glare thing sun light what is it called was way better in Zero Dawn than in Forbidden West- something about it feels more... natural, maybe? FW has the hexagon things, while ZD doesn't, and seems to blur better, rather than being so... harsh? Sharp? Something...?

That's not to say I was the best at using it (and maybe I'm still not the best at it), but I like it. I know a lot of people hate camera glare and turn it off immediately, but a lot of that does seem to be more about gameplay, so... idk lol. How it blinds you sometimes.

I think it worked in the last photo the most, as well as the fifth one. Mostly the last one.

I'm realizing that ZD also has the hexagons and the extra lines, but I feel like it was less intrusive. I've found myself always turning the camera glare off in photo mode in FW, which I almost never did in ZD.

Anyways, I'm not a photographer, I have no idea what I'm actually talking about lol

So yeah these are (some of) the Zero Dawn shots I took a little ways back. It wasn't actually that long ago but it feels like it sometimes soooo

Beware, for most of them are Frozen Wilds lmao. It's just so pretty.... especially that volcano. Don't remember what filter it is, but there's one that makes it all golden and it's so PRETTY I have so many shots of that.

The photos are in chronological order, but the groups are not. This group I titled "Misc. Scenery" I think because it was basically just all of the scenery shots I took that I couldn't fit into any other category, sooo... yeah. Tallnecks are next! Expect that tomorrow.

fair warning(?) that not all of these are... the best photos? they're older and i knew less than i do now (which still isn't a lot lmao but i'm learning). the artist in me can't stand these sometimes because composition died here rest in peace composition. i need aloy out of that fourth picture why is she THERE (and the 3rd picture too actually)

anyways enough rambling!! im getting better. bye. have a good day and drink WATER it's HOT over here. and if its not hot where you are. drink water anyway. bye bye!!

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

so back when i was teaching, one of the things i learned to look for were the "mood makers", as i liked to call them, of the classes. there were always 2 or 3 per class, and it was easy to find them in the first few days. you got those kids on your side, and it was a ripple effect with the rest of the students - they would all follow. so winning those kids over was huge when it came to how the year would play out. and from time to time, whenever the class was sort of faltering - middle of winter, of a big project, burn-out high - i would lean back in on those mood makers again to turn things around.

one particular class, when we had a big multi-month group project happening, were just... really struggling with getting their shit together lol. they were supposed to be practicing their presentations (english speaking class) and they were doing pretty much anything but, and their presentations were supposed to start the next class day. they were also PANICKING as i started giving out some feedback - which was NOT GREAT - as they were running through the lines they were supposed to be remembering. after realizing all of them needed so much extra work, i decided we needed to have a turn-around, so i invited one of the mood makers up to the front. i held out a cup to him, with two papers inside.

"one of them," i said, "says tuesday, and if you draw that, presentations go as planned. but one of them says thursday, and if you choose that one, everyone gets extra time to practice."

everyone was like OH SHIT. OKAY. THIS IS IT. and this mood maker, he was a big personality (they usually are) so i knew he'd really ham this up, and he did. we made a huge deal, with drum-rolls and everything, of him picking one out of the cup. he opened it up the paper and announced THURSDAY to a round of huge cheers. he was the class hero. everyone had TONS of motivation to work super hard on this gifted extra day, and really put the time in. their presentations were great. morale SOARED.

the plot twist was that both papers said thursday, because they all needed the extra time. my forever teacher advice: find creative ways to make things happen so that you get the buy-in from the class.

you dislike Luke Castellan because he disagreed with an oppressive government system and actually took action to change the abusive ways him and his peers have been forced to follow for millennia.

I dislike Luke Castellan because in the Titans Curse he manipulated Annabeth, who he raised as his little sister, into holding up the sky, the FUCKING sky, for over 20 hours and had the audacity to walk away as though he was completely apathetic towards it while she begged and pleaded with him to help her.

we are not the same.

Book 2 au: sparring sessions and short hair katara

They like to have sparring sessions in order to keep their bending skills sharp. They allow themselves to go all out and not hold back at all cause they know if anyone got hurt, Katara could just heal them

But anyways, wouldn't it be kinda funny if Zuko accidentally burned Katara's hair tho? Aofkqldkkajfjd

The "I think we can save the hairloops" line is from @linnoya-writes thank you for that!! :>>

I don't get someone drawing a canonically fat character skinny for suggestive artwork or just artwork in general. Why even draw that character? just draw the 1000 skinny characters instead or learn how to draw fat people better with references? I get as angry as reactionary conservatives got when they gave the green m&m's sneakers when people draw fat characters skinny for their stupid fanart. You removed a major part of the character and what for? Your art just looks worse now and you look like a dick
