Oh no. James Gunn called Damian Batman's "actual son". That bodes poorly.

He also said the series is gonna be based off of grant morrisons batman run you know the one that's meant to have dick as batman not Bruce yeah no I've got absolutely no hope for any of that

Ah, nothing like a good morning with your royal wife and your “no lighting at home” lovely husband 🥰

If you want to put something funny in their cups there’s this blank version:

[inumbrapugnabimus-maybe]

Evie I must know. How do you- How does one-

ANATOMY

please if you have any advice i will gladly take it

AHH HELLO!! Here goes!

quite a mammoth of a post underneath the cut so be warned hehe

ummm okkk so

I’m by nature a very quick and messy thinker, and so that’s kinda how I do anatomy (though in my case it’s more like poses) too! My process (if it can be called that lol) isn’t very organized, and it kinda feels like I’m winging it half the time XD

I did mess around with poses a lot when I was younger, and I suppose looking back it was basically anatomy minus the detail. (I still have trouble putting detail into art) Poses are one of my favorite things to draw though; they are very relaxing and fun :)

I guess I’d recommend practicing a lot, and keeping it messy, quick and fun! That’s what I did, as well as drawing from and tracing references!

but here is my process, as best as I can explain it :D

Hopefully you can read my handwriting and this all makes sense!

triangles and quadrilaterals are great XD

alright here are also a BUNCH of sketches and poses of mine that I’ve used or will be using

Many of these are wips and they’re all incredibly messy but I figured they’d show you what I mean!

I guess to close off this crazy ramble, I’ll repeat what I said before! Have fun with poses! Mess around and experiment and don’t be afraid to draw sketches that won’t ever become a character or an artwork, but are more like a pathway to something else I guess? That’s what has worked for me :)

also thank you so much for asking my friend! I am honored! ALSO also, congratulations on making it this far lol

Gotta love that while being in many fandoms and oftentimes want specific scenarios and such story wise apparently fucking Scriddler is that special thing that gets me willing to work on shit

[ghostoffuturespast]

Really wish Tumblr had an actual mute function.

Like a full block is excessive in this scenario (no one's done anything wrong, I'm just annoyed) but the block tag function is not doing it for me rn because I can still see the posts and my annoyance is slowly morphing into rage. And the envy monster is not a good look for me.

I enjoy hyping people up, I really do, but it's really fucking hard to keep doing it when they don't do it for you too.

[tooselfaware]

Wow, I thought it was gonna be the Ruby episode. It was not.

And wow, for a show that advocates "true love", this mini-plot sucks. Because dwarfs and fairies are just "supposed to do their jobs" and all that shite. Yeah, sacrifice your happiness to "bring joy to the world". Except if you're a main character type, then you can choose true love.

Not good, show. Not nice. You just wanted to justify why Grumpy is grumpy? And why you gotta hurt Nova like that? They both just want to be happy. There are LOTS of dwarves and fairies that are content with the status quo but you just HAD to break these two apart.

Also, are you telling me that after all this, Grumpy fell in love again and had that diamond fiasco which was why he got sent to jail (where he met Snow)? Seems like dwarves DO love. And seems like they (writers? Directors? Idk) forgot about that Grumpy backstory just a few eps ago.

Guess the show has pockets I didn't notice before.

just rmbred today this old man regular customer said smtg like im 'moving up on [his] list' ok well. you are genuinely one o fmy least favorite customers. I DONT WANNA BE ON YOUR LIST

[forcebookish]

as much as i'd like to see forcebook play their ages, i don't really mind them playing 18-22 year olds because i can easily forgive a lot of shitty behavior in that age group. it's a really rough time in your life, often your first time out on your own, when you might not quite grasp how dire the consequences of your actions can be because you won't "get in trouble." when you're graduating from Teenhood, there's sometimes a learning curve with "my parents ragged on me about X just because they're parents" to "oh they actually did know better i shouldn't do that shit" - sometimes you have to learn that on your own. add alcohol, the pressure of college, shifting identities, etc., it's a good recipe for some nice 'n' easy character development.

Grump and not so grump (Patreon)

I feel like the first meeting between Kakashi and his feral new neighbour is probably cause of their dogs. I refuse to not believe that he doesn’t allow his dogs out all the time to hang with him and OC has a dog to, so it’s 100% the fault of them.

Just… Pakkun smells the new neighbour and the dog smells the pack and then it’s just canine love. They totally ignore the two very awkward adults start at one another cause like…

Kakashi: ninja since he was five. Has no idea how to be normal. ANBU. Mainly hangs out with his dogs, fellow ANBU members or Gai. Reads porn in public and is a menace.

OC: 100% was a nomadic hunter who looked for the most challenging game. Hunted Chakra enhanced animals to keep population down. Grew up on the move and whose main companion for years is a talking dog. Is a reincarnation of some nerd who knew about Naruto.

Just the awkward vibes.

Then the OC finds out Kakashi lives off the equivalent of MREs and goes: oh fuck no.

*bangs on door with meal in arms*

Kakashi: what- *meal shoved on him*

OC: test for poisons but eat the fucking food. *stomps off*

Kakashi: *breaks into apartment to leave bowl there along with like… pocky in thanks*

Relationship progresses so that OC has a key to Kakashi’s apartment and will bounce right into it to cook there, ranting about something or that Kakashi sometimes breaks into the other apartment to remind himself someone cares about him.

Later these two move in together cause fuck it why not and then Gai moves in and there are dogs everywhere cause OC’s dog totally romanced some other dog so puppies and then Naruto gets added followed by Lee and it all started cause dogs.

Laios wouldn't judge me or make me feel bad for being excited about things I enjoy.

[stomach-rental]

🐻 for the ask game about being intimidating! Ps: Don't take it to the heart, interactions as a whole scare me, love your art and you seem nice!

Oh, don't worry, I don't eat people unless they ask. ;] BUT I do have a bearsona so this makes sense.

While your anxiety is completely understandable, Just Know that most of the time I am literally just spinning around thinking about animals and the stuff on this blog, so I am actually not judging anything anyone is doing or anything, I am simply vibing over here. And I enjoy hearing your thoughts! So even if it Does seem scary I promise I am not gonna bite. Unless you want me to. In which I will do so Very Gently.

I just remembered Aroace trends on Valentine's Day here and my disappointment that Valentine's Day exists just got replaced by being absolutely overjoyed I get to contribute to more Tumblr weirdness

[you-have-made-a-fatal-error]

need to shell out for a new laptop before the end of the year - for a lot of reasons but mainly bc support ending for win8.1 makes fixing the current beast rather pointless :/ (and. admittedly. there is a lot to fix. she's old and she has suffered.)

but my current beastie is from the last gen of laptops with a disc drive and the thought of using an external/usb disc drive is enough to make me cry tears of blood

Bad news: the coworker I was covering for was supposed to be back today and wasn’t, so I was once again dealing with three times my usual workload*. He’s supposed to be back tomorrow but then I am covering for a different coworker being gone until like mid-next week Good news: I finally figured out what activity my brain has been craving for the last several days! I got stuck in one of those like “cannot start new task until The Task is completed but I do not know what The Task is” loops. It was cleaning! I cleaned a whole bunch and feel a lot better, so I should be able to actually finish something tomorrow Side note, do y’all ever have your brain assign a task Utmost Priority without being able to figure out what task it is? It’s like craving a food but not knowing which food you’re craving.  *it’s difficult to describe why his work is twice as hard for me to do without saying what industry I work in. He’s not doing twice as much work as I am, it’s just transitioning from one person to another makes everyone he works with extra antsy in a way that makes my job harder?

Gonna rant a bit about fandoms, because I have some thoughts to share.

Kind of sad to see that fandoms are starting to be viewed as a generally bad thing even by the fans lately... It is such a strange change to see, especially if you've been participating in fandom culture since the beginnings of the internet. Nowadays, the moment something becomes fairly popular and beloved by many, you can see hundreds of people feeling genuinely frustrated or upset that 'now the fandom is going to ruin it like it always does'. I see this take mainly on Twitter, but it's prominent on Tumblr and other platforms as well. I've been a part of fandoms both big and small, and, sure, smaller fandoms are generally more cozy and easy to interact with, but what happened with curating your own experience? It's so sad to see bigger fandoms be addressed as this disgusting and gross thing (both old and new, which is even more upsetting to see), when there are thousands of wonderful creators putting so much love and time into their art, fanfics, fan-projects, and so much more. Fandom is a community, first and foremost. Sure, consuming content is a big part of it, but why are we treating fandoms like it's some big assembly line that needs to be perfectly cut out for our needs? It's more like a fun fair, and it's up to you to choose which vendors to come up to, and what do you want to interact with. And yes, you should interact with creators. By no means is that a necessity (I was a silent viewer for a long time myself), but it is still encouraged. I feel like fandom is becoming less about interacting with people and more about consuming content. And, subsequently, fanmade content is starting to get viewed as product, and treated as such. And that's sad to see.
