Spiritual seekers need one another as mirrors. A member of the Hopi nation once asked me about our holy days. I was telling him about Passover, our celebration of freedom, and Sukkot, our Feast of Tabernacles, and how they fit in with the cycles of the year. "I think I get it," he said finally. "You people don't want to be in slavery. And you want to pass this on to your children. But when you tell your kids on Passover, 'We have to go away from here; we can't stay here because it will cost us our freedom,' your kids will say, 'Yeah, but what are we going to eat?' So you teach them how to bake bread on stones, how to roast a lamb if you are hungry, how to find dandelion greens, and so on. When the kids ask, 'But where will we stay?' you show them how to build a lean-to, so they will have somewhere to live." An Indian perspective on the mitzvot to eat the Passover lamb with matzot and bitter herbs and to build a sukkah on Sukkot gave me a completely different insight into my own traditions.

-Jewish with Feeling, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. 2005, p. 198-199

#quotes #jumblr #jewish goyim solidarity #personal thoughts tag #i really loved this one for some reason #sometimes an outsider's perspective truly does change your entire frame of reference. this is what it means to be alive by the way 🩵#blessed are you g-d for creating us to need one another 🩵🩵🩵

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl found dead in a hidden room.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan xichen #jin guangyao #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #qin su #EDIT: Tumblr published an earlier draft with only half the notes I wrote so: late entry on my JGY thoughts.#Unlike the mystic powers of the stockmarket (what the OG meme is referring to) I think this situation calls for more active investigation.#qin su is such a deeply tragic character to me and I really wish we got a bit more from her.#Love everyone who sent me messages about her after the last time she appeared.#I think she needs a spin off of her being a transmigrator SO badly.#MDZS has so many interesting characters - but it sometimes fails to give them the proper room to really develop past a role in the plot.#That's just the consequence of writing a story like MDZS. Not every character in a book *needs* to have a rich inner life and backstory!#To do so would bog down the story and obliterate any notion of pacing. It's just not possible.#Jin Guangyao (nee Meng Yao) is unfortunately not free from this leeway rule. He is the culprit of this murder mystery plot #and thus NEEDS to encapsulate the themes of the book. And personally he's a 7 out of 10 at best on this front (in the AD).#MDZS is about rumours twisting reality and working towards truth. And about how people & situations are rarely ever black & white #JGY has his motivations. He's well written in regards to his actions making sense for his character.#What started as good traits (drive to succeed & improve his image) became twisted over time (do anything to maintain his image)#and it's a good parallel to WWX! He has the same arc (with different traits)! Bonus points for IGY in that regard.#but man....by the time we confront this guy for murder there's not a lot of grey morality. He's just...deep in the hole *he* dug.#There's a beautiful tragedy to it! More on JGY in later comics - this is getting pretty long already!

FINALLY MADE A HEIGHT COMPARISON CHART FOR THE VILLAINS (& gene's squad).... it's been a long time since I've drawn most of them in color so I made some adjustments here and there (archie is still the gen 3/rainbow rocket version)

they weren't originally going to all be wearing the least amount that they'd be comfortable with but. I started looking at a bunch of references and had a ton of fun drawing some different body types,,,,

#oceandi arts #height reference chart #generic protagonist #champion protagonist #guzma #plumeria #lysandre #lusamine #archie #maxie #cyrus #giovanni #ghetsis #SORRY FOR THE TAGS AUHGH I JUST NEED TO BE ABLE TO FIND THESE #NOTE: the body types listed with them are just based on what I looked up for references --#ik most body types can do most sports but. general trends sometimes emerge #ignore lysandre's harlotous shirt. I spent a long time drawing his torso and didn't want to just cover the whole thing FKJHDSFKSHD #also side note guz IS trans but he didn't need top surgery. so no scars there. he got on T early enough to skip that bit

brush test slash rendering practice with ayem

#morrowind #almalexia #the elder scrolls #tes #tes fanart #art #id in alt #ok that's all the tags this needs ANYWAY #i started this 1. for experimenting with coloring from dark to light #2. because i wanted to draw someone kind of back turned to the camera #3. rendering practice for hair particularly #4. to go from sketch to rendering rather than doing lines to see if that doesn't smooth out my workflow a bit #5. because i've never actually used this brush past flat coloring #and out of those 1. i don't think i had enough of an idea of the palette or process to jump into dark to light painting so i did scrap that #and go with my usual “flat color with one of the mid shadow tones add shadows add light”#i do think that painting from shadows out is a thing people do digitally i just think this wasn't the drawing to test it on for me #i think i'd need to look at some other peoples processes and start with a more fleshed out idea of where to go #2 and 3 i think worked out. i'm gradually figuring hair out which i think is sick #4 i also think worked out for me which is also sick because i do get caught on lines a lot. they're fun sometimes but i think some drawings #benefit better from not having them and that it might be a bit faster #and of course everything i do is so that i can draw slightly faster and better for next artfight #as for 5. i have mixed feelings on this brush but that might be because i hate change. and also because i started this drawing on the 15th #of november and finished it yesterday. so im kind of just sick of working on and looking at it #it was a valuable learning experience and i think it came out well! i am also going to drop to my knees and rejoice when i can finally #close this file out and free medibang paint from under it so i can work on Literally Anything Else #thank you almalexia for being my test subject i should've used a reference for your armor when i did the sketch but i didn't #maybe the crown looks weird because of it maybe it doesn't. not my problem anymore i can draw other elves again #my art #iiii think i forgot a my art tag last time

This is such a small problem when you compare it to problems anyone else has or even previous problems I personally have had but I am bummed out by the lack of weird too online genderweird dykes in my real life. I have to pretend to be normal so much. Soooooo much. Do you know how many normal sentences I come up with daily? It's so many. And I am like I can't keep doing this by myself. where are my fellow freaks

#like i love and respect normie lesbians. straight women too. i support you #but sometimes i am like. i can't. i need to be a freak right now i need to say bad sentences #i need to be cringe and i need to do it around people who understand the references i am working with #i do not want to be around people who are moderately excited about life i need to talk to the gay people with highly specific fixations #i need to find the people with the mental illness that makes them make unhinged life decisions i need us to be on the same level of crazy #i cannot keep getting stared at blankly or pitied for things that seem normal to me. i will turn into the hulk

Little bright colored outfit with a fun vest ~

(shoes from ebay like 10 years ago. everything else is thrifted)

#ootd #jfashion #fashion #fantasy fashion #mori kei #....like... adjacent... lol #no idea what style this would be lol.. makes me think of like whimsical vaguely fantasy themed childrens book character #finally posting one of my aforementioned seven million drafts of actual outfits and costumes i have finished and edited #the photos for but just never feel like posting lol..#I need to find one of those people whos like 'omg i am ADDICTED to social media ugh i wish i could get off of it #im just browsing and posting like 60 times a daaaaay!!!' and take a little magical bottle and suck some of the social media #enthusiasim out of them. for moi. In exchange they can have some of my 'literally just never in the mood to post or interact with the #outside world ever' energy. We can balance each other. huzzah and so on #Though I think maybe it's part of the general thing I've heard of like.. I can't remember if it was in reference to adhd or just some sort #of general execcutive functioning issue type of thing - but the idea that things have to be ''just right'' before you do something. like #'oh i need to do this task. but i have to wait until XYZ first' or 'oh i can do this but only if X specific condition is met' or etc #The fact that I even have to be in a Specific Mindset to post. or sometimes will delay posting on social media because like 'oh well #I'm going somewhere tomorrow. somehow this matters. i cannot spend 5 minuts posting TONIGHT. clearly it will interfere #somehow schedule wise with the doctor appointment i have 15 hours from now. yes. yes. i must wait until my appointment is over #tomorrow afternoon. THEN i shall post' or etc. etc. lol. NOT even taking into account the many days #I just genuinely and physically sick and it's not even a mental thing. I just physically dont feel like sitting at the computer lol..#ANYWAY.. trying to get back into it. trying to get a business bank account.. make a proper paypal so i can start selling sculptures again.#selling clothes and sculptures.. posting about such things then of course as one must. etc... chanting to hype up and motivate myself lol #But yes. this is my favorite outfit out of the bunch so I am posting it first I guess.. maybe others later..#Also the purple dress says its from shein. which I've heard is bad fast fashion stuff. but maybe okay since its second hand? I havent #been to the bins since like 2020 or late 2019 even. and I think stuff like shein and temu has only become poular in the past few years #but I bet if I went to the bins now I might would find a good handfull of that stuff. Probably now not much different than what you #find in a walmart or a forever 21 or actual physical stores you can go to though. I hear quality of clothing is down everywhere no matter #where you get it or whatnot. What bountiful joys unfettered capitalism and exploitation bestows upon us (<being sarcastic).#Wearing one of my favorite little vests though. I love the texture of it and the clasps on it

Most artist probably already know this program but I discovered it only recently thanks to a friend so I thought I'd share anyway.

There's a free program called Pureref where you can put as many pics as you want on a single board and use it for inspo/ref and you can lower the board's opacity !

Which is very neat for me because sometimes only music doesn't help me concentrate anymore so I listen to commentary channels or other stuff + watch the vid at the same time so it's very handy to have both the vid + references on the same screen to look at

Examples below, current board I use zoomed in and out on top of a vid :

It's so so helpful esp with twst characters because I can't for the love of god remember any of their dorm uniforms (except Rollo ultra bg)

You don't even need to download the pics, just copy and paste on the board, and then right click and save it it's so so useful tbh !

Hope this helps ! :)))

#mildly helpful rambling #stole all the pngs from the wiki to make this twst board #my brain is whack and looking for references feels like a task sometimes so having all the boys on one thing is neat #Ignore the thousand tabs I (don't) need them to remember stuff-#kinda...

I can’t believe a boyfriend made a silly sex joke to lighten the mood after both partners had a moment of vulnerability. The audacity. The horror. The normalcy! Unbelievable. How dare a conversation about feelings turn to levity. How dare a couple have a light chat about trauma-related things over dinner that doesn’t turn into an incredibly deep heart to heart instead of a joke and moving on. Unbelievable. I’m never watching this show again! 👎🏻

#911 spoilers #bucktommy #Evan buckley #Tommy kinard #look #as a queer person in a relationship with another queer person #both of whom have major familial trauma #trust me when I say you generally DONT WANT ever reference to your feelings and trauma to turn into a huge deep discussion #sometimes you just say something vulnerable #and the other person does too #and then you joke about it and move on #humour is powerful coping mechanism as well #one that is pretty common especially among guys #people need to freaking relax ffs #Tommy is not a horrible person for making a flirty joke #things were said and feelings were acknowledged #and then they moved on #this is all perfectly freaking natural #Buck is not some sensitive flower that can’t handle a silly joke about daddy issues #please I beg you all to look at this at a distance with some common sense #rather than the ‘but Buck is traumatized and must always be treated delicately!!’ lens #and I am saying all of this as someone who really doesn’t give two fucks about the joke itself #I’m not into daddy kink idgaf #but if the idea that a queer couple isn’t allowed to insert a flirty joke to lighten a moment of vulnerability #then I don’t know what to tell you #you personally finding something innapropriate does not mean it’s actually innapropriate #please just chill out ffs #no one wants to hear about how evil Tommy is for hitting on his boyfriend for months and months to come
