Master manipulator vs Master manipulator
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#xue yang#a-qing#The scenes with XY and A-Qing are so delightfully tense and anxiety inducing#They are both so deep in the mind games with each other. Convinced they have the leg up when in reality they do not know the full scope#Also is is just me or do XY and A-Qing give off the vibe of internet nemeses?#A-Qing coming in hard with 'Oh you think blind people cant do XYZ? Get canceled idiot'#Meanwhile XY is the kind to purposefully use leet speak in descriptive text to antagonize the screen reader population.#a teen girl and a 4-channer who found his way to tumblr would be awful to watch fight irl but the vibes are equivalent.#Meanwhile XXC is going on a nice little walk to pick grass. I love him so much actually.#through writing these notes I have also gone down the rabbit hole of trying to pinpoint Xue Yang's age. Hello? Is it actually not known?#The best resources I could find put him as 1-3 years younger then xxc and song lan#So? early twenties? late teens? Someone who has absorbed more mdzs knowledge...Please help#Oh no I'm even deeper in the rabbit hole now. What do you mean the ages are mostly just relative?#What do you mean cultivators can age differently (usually slower in xianxia)#Oh no oh no wwx doesn't have a golden core. I was too accurate in my homestuck AU re: lifespans. I want to go back.#(I love angst and am now marinating this thought in my little thinking chamber)

I just did this to show an aged up character design of the precious child to be honest.
#why you might ask? i dunno. sometimes i make things complicated for myself I guess.#i'm too lazy to find my of shitty comics thread featuring the child™ so here#if theres a ranking for young mistresses in jianghu. jiang cheng would be conflicted about being happy that his darling girl made it#or angry that teen aged boys ogled at his child.#i also honestly just gave jiang cheng a daughter 'cause I wanted to populate the female species in mdzs.#i didn't think I could use it with the overprotective dad trope but here we are.#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#an oc

Possible look at new Ogor design (possible lady Ogor?) in the new "Introduction to the Mortal Realms" animation GW put out.
#warhammer#cities of sigmar#ogor mawtribes#age of sigmar#I like GW is reminding us of Ogor's having City populations.

a great way to combat genAI in the future would be educating kids (and teens and college students and all ppl) on art way more.
#i had art classes growing up but i know a lot of ppl didn't and even less kids get art classes nowadays#we need all kinds of art classes too! music and history and painting and woodshop and drawing and life drawing#i think art history is especially important bc it connects us to our past and shows why art is so important#and all kinds of art classes help kids develop different important skills#like fine motor skills and critical thinking and making choices and noticing details and how to really SEE things rather than just looking#and a lot of art skills like woodworking and ceramics and sewing are all very practical basic adult skills that we should all get to learn#there's reasons arts and crafts and other skill based electives are the first to go and its not just bc they're undervalued#its cause a population that feels capable and confident and skilled and knows how to think critically#is harder to make work shitty jobs for shitty pay#harder to control!#same reason they're banning so many books and trying to make education worse#damn maybe i should learn how to teach better#im already planning to at least try doing a workshop for adults but maybe if i end up liking that#i could work towards being able to teach kids#i feel like teaching kids would be harder cause idk what concepts they do or dont know at whatever age they are#id have to do research and maybe talk to someone who has experience teaching art to kids#but even a simple art class would be beneficial i think#like going outside to draw things in nature maybe#or portrait drawing#or a class on how to make comics or animate on paper to impress their friends lol#i would've loved that!#id have to do that with the help of another teacher maybe#idk#vague future plans#anyway the reason education would help combat ai is cause ppl would learn abt what goes onto making art#all the choices and skills and thought#and they'd be able to more easily see the difference btwn real art and ai images and understand why making art is important

that stupid comicbook.com article and also fan response in general to the companion romance situation annoys me so bad for the sole reason that everyone acts like the only people in the game are the pc and playable companions
#mine#dragon age#so many people use dorian as justification and like. you know we could have non romanceable characters who are gay#where’s the people using cassandra as evidence for why this is good actually#‘it limits the types of stories you can tell’ with THOSE specific characters. however there are probably others#i’ll admit i thought it was bizarre that they made every companion romanceable. i hate to make this comparison bc i know everyone has been#saying they’re similar when they’re really not. but that specifically feels like some baldurs gate shit#but like. think of leliana in inquisition. joker in mass effect. etc. characters whose story develops even if they’re not going on missions#it’s just this weird video game conception that sexuality only exists for romanceable characters#(or i should say. people assume every NPC is heterosexual by default. until proven otherwise by a romance arc)#but like. everyone uses the dorian example. his conflict with his homophobic father happens regardless of whether you romance him#it’s not tied to the fact that he’s romanceable. y’all just see sexuality as only relevant when you personally can or cannot smash#idk if the lighthouse will be populated now that we know it’s in the fade but theoretically we’ll have allies#and some of those allies. may identify as something other than cishet#or other than pansexual if that’s the problem but grow up. pansexual characters are not cheap and not lesser#playersexuality is a concept so gamer bros can pretend their companions are straight#because if they don’t interact with dorian and sera they can pretend everyone is straight in this game#here’s the thing like. i can understand the disappointment that every character is romanceable bc. sigh. gaider does make a good point#but that’s not what’s going on here. people are upset the companions are explicitly pan and the game is Woke#and they might try to spin it as ‘b but what about dorian’s arc in a game like this’ when once again#there may be other characters. who are not companions. who we spend time with#varric and solas are literally in all of the stuff we’ve and neither of them are playable#come ON

It's so funny how much lore there is about fishers being vicious demon animals that can and will murder you, your pets, and your kids. Including a lot weird conspiracies about the government introducing them to places. In reality, they're just funny very shy little guys who mostly hunt rodents and rabbits, and primarily dwell in interior woodland habitats away from human disturbance. And they look like this:
There are very few records of them hurting humans. They do occasionally have conflicts with pets, but hey, so can... nearly any animal your pets encounter, especially other cats and dogs! Can't blame wildlife for fighting back when cornered by a dog. Supervising your pets outdoors to prevent run-ins with wildlife is just part of being a responsible pet owner in rural and wooded areas. Hell, cities, even! Urban coyotes are more common than you'd think.
Next time some old fart tells you they're hyper-vicious little monsters that are terrorizing the woods, know that they're actually just cool little predators that want nothing to do with you.
Unless you're a porcupine, then watch out. They've really carved out a niche for themselves re: obtaining delicious porcupine meat without turning into a pincusion.
#their range has shrunk substantially but they exist in interior forest in Canada and patches of the Northern US#fun fact: you can tell their sex and age by the size of their canine teeth!#which is used for monitoring populations to set healthy limits for trapping#one of my fave NA wild animals#fisher#wildlife

I think in terms of talking about weapons being used against palestine you have to do more than specify how a type of weapon is prohibited by international law. most weapons that are, like white phosphorus or thermobaric weapons, are prohibited against civilian populations. they are, however, legal to use against military targets. and israel has painted their fight - and so convinced many governments and their leaders - as being against hamas, a military target to them, and so using these kinds of weapons is okay because they're targeting terrorists and not civilians. terrorists, and not people. it's also just factually untrue to say the weapons are all outright banned under certain international laws. they are banned, but only if you can convince a government that those who are dying are people.
#sorry this has been bothering me for ages with posts I've seen but the distinction is important#the usage of these weapons is justified and allowed because world leaders have been convinced they're being used#against terrorists against a military and not civilians. I say ''convinced'' like they haven't been actively pro israel for years#but I digress. the distinction is important. which is why we have to keep posting and protesting and rallying and sharing#showing that civilians are being targeted. show the images share the stories do what one is able to do#this is why entire populations and countries have been painted as such in the past like as not. if everyone's a bad guy#then you don't need to worry about innocents dying. they're all bad. like just go through history and view propaganda it's always happened#reblogs off btw I don't need weird comments and I haven't slept well and it's 8am

I gotta say, really glad that the main criticisms for my "artists have more options" post has been that it is very USA centric and doesn't work for people in low populated areas without an art community. This has led to people giving more perspectives and options, which is always appreciated, and also because it's a completely correct criticism. Like yeah it is in fact made from the perspective of a USAmerican who lives in a highly populated state with a thriving art community especially in rural areas, you got me there, can't argue with that, gimme some fresh perspectives I love to hear that. Thank you for not making my notifications hell, and thank you for giving me more perspectives im going to give you a little kissy on the forehead
#simon says#i was worried that since it hit 10k notes#I was gonna deal with a lot of people with low confidence getting mad at me bc 'they are too much of a failure to do this how dare you'#but im so glad because it hasn't been that#it has been people bringing up good counterpoints and perspectives I appreciate hearing!#like yeah I knew it was gonna end up being US (and probably Canada) centric because I'm American and never left the country before#so my perspective on career artistry outside the country is very VERY limited to say the least#but I didn't even consider that my perspective is also skewed by where in the US I live#I live in Florida which I mentioned before and feel safe mentioning because it's a very populated state#and a majority of the economy is tourism based#so there's a pretty huge thriving art community here because there's LOTS of people visiting who want cool art for whatever reason#and LOTS of retirees with money to spend and a new florida house to decorate#and LOTS of college age kids without money but an apartment they wanna furnish so they'll buy art anyways#shows and shops and gallery work are huge here for a reason#5 percent of the entire population are snowbirds. people from the north who live here during the winter#so needless to say it's far easier to start making art selling prints and handmade magnets at a booth for a weekend event here in Florida#compared to say... rural Nebraska#so I didn't even consider that because my journey as an artist started in a state with a small but passionate and growing art community#and my journey as a PROFESSIONAL artist started in another state that has a large and thriving art community even in rural areas#that it would absolutely have an effect on my perspective#i still believe there's always more options out there than you would believe and it's always good to explore and look#and if you're able to start building an art scene in a place that doesn't have one you should#but I definitely understand some folks better when they say that it's not always accessible to do so#art careers are not about fame or social media following but rather networking I still believe that because it's true#but yeah if you're in an area where your only option IS to sell online there's no shame in that#anyways hopefully that was coherent I just woke up from a nap and now im gonna play Frog Detective for the first time#smooching you all on the foreheads gently and lovingly thank you for opening my mind and not making my inbox hell

hhhh i can't find the exact statistics i need in order to do the exact thing i want
#shut up about averages shut up about averages#i forgot why this kinda sucks actually most of the time#giving myself a headache#oh hi worldometers i forgot about you#ok so you won't tell me what percentage of tumblr's userbase is in their twenties#but you can tell me what percentage of twenty something internet users use tumblr#and then i can find what percentage of twenty somethings use the internet#but also stratified weird so i have to go across age groups and just assign 20-30 to 25-35?? i guess??#and then i can find out what percentage of the us population is in their twenties#but you'll only give it to me in raw numbers so i have to do it myself#and that's just for the us you won't give me any data on the other 55% of tumblr users#sorry i guess i have to pretend you're all usamericans#i'm sorry#statistics don't tell you anything about the world other than exactly what they are and also what you make of them#eggsistential speaks#tag rant

Whether you can currently drive is irrelevant, I just want to know when the average person (well, tumblr user) learned to drive in each location.
If you're under 18 and don't drive I'd rather you not vote, there's no space for another selection.
#the locations are divided between where tumblr is most common - I know the US/Canada aren't a whole third of the world population#also I know the line where ppl draw what counts as europe/asia is VERY disputed and that is just not relevant for this poll#I'm also assuming most of my followers are in north america anyway#polls#lastly the ages are based on student age. if someone doesn't learn to drive by the end of university I imagine they aren't going to

That time of the month folks. The time where you gotta bust out the emotional support Creature to cook your insides faster then your body and rip them apart. Oh how I love existing. It’s so fun.
#leo’s yapping#it’s so fun to be a biological holder of a baby oven#like SORRY I’m not participating in nasty activities#I’m unfortunately not yet qualified in the age category to add to the population#nor is this economy stable enough for an extra guy to be leeching#SORRY IM NOT GIVING YOU A LIVING BREATHING SHIT STAIN BODY.#DO YOU HAVE TO TEST MY PAIN TOLORANCE AS PUNISHMENT???#I’m not even bleeding yet it’s just killing me early like it always does#this shit ain’t worth it yall#who wants a free baby cooker?#it’s never used#brand spankin new#take it#I’ll pay you to take it

i feel like what rubs me most wrong abt a lot of blanket nd vs nt statements is tht for the love of the creators of the universe neurodivergency has no standard behaviour except tnt it's not 'standard' behaviour. so ur shitting on nt for doing whatever n glorifying and exalting nd bc they are the opposite and better and Superior is most times actually just shitting on a human quality exhibited to some degree by a large number of humans nd n nt alike. n the nd subset reading tht are just gonna wrongly feel bad abt themselves. i wld add tht the nt ppl are also gonna wrongly feel bad abt themselves but tht was your goal all along so you already know tht.
#it's very hard to distinguish certain behaviours as explicitly nd when nd is such a wide huge enormous category#so most times it's just coming across as i only recognize asd/adhd as nd#also idk like#as a kid two of my peers had high needs asd n down syndrome siblings#so when those parents were waiting with those siblings for us to finish class#the nd kids wld interact#n it's like it was nvr smooth?#as in were there more or less 'conflict' than 'typical' kids tht age? tht i cnt recall#but was it just all smooth sailing n perfect understanding n interaction between them bc they're both nd? for sure no#like obvi a majority of ppl with a certain nd wld share certain traits which may make interactions among them perfect#as compared to when they interact with nt population#but if u mix said group of nd with another group you're gonna again encounter not as smooth interaction ps#this site is always so ready to shit on stupid tiktok nd claims etc#but all the popular posts made here on the topic are just as silly#cloud nonsense

& may we all live to see the death of the us imperial machine within our lifetimes
#for real though i feel like in the age of internet and information its much harder for america to sell its propaganda#you can see it in the fact that the MAJORITY of the us population is calling for palestinian liberation despite all the propaganda.

Seedling is such an interesting little story that i love, but i´d be lying if it wasnt almost completely sprouted (hehe) from the visual of those character duos that are a small child + big scary looking creature who acts as their guard, top tier trope frfr
(also huge shoutout to @ashrayus for hearing me out and adding onto the rambles so long ago, bestie the robot story wasnt working, we got plants now 🌱)
#but also said big scary creature is her brother having an identity crisis and being chased by the horrors :D#the story is 50% strangers to (step) siblings that trust each other with their life#and 50% truths of the world conspiracy with a witch hunt on plant people + aliens doing their thing (of course)#bruhh bc what if there were aliens replacing people at a young age and using them to collect data on the overall population#and “harvesting” them when said purpose was fulfilled#thing is; when the harvesting happens its supposed to be like a switch is flipped; and the seedling just up and leaves to be collected#*but* an infinite amount of things can make this process fail; which happened with the mc; who now clings to his family like a lifeline#while also knowing the general population´s view on seedlings is abyssmal#<- even if the family has no porblem w it; government or a bad neighbour catches you? you´re *gone*#anyways; fun times for lil Vera hshshahsha#seedling#oc talk#shut up sheo#edit: hey ash remember Riven? ik hes your oc can i work with thet concept perhaps?#his color scheme and character role work soooo well!!!!!#planning on making him be one of the few who escaped the harvest but could never quite shake the switch flip
