scenes that make me wanna eat drywall dust
#qkdraws#id in alt#haikyuu#kageyama tobio#hinata shouyou#tumblr can't even handle 4k images i had to compress this one. smh#did some layer fuckery to get the motion blur to work. the screenshots of this fuckery r kinda silly#this bitch rly is pieced together like a puzzle. kageyama himself is like.sliced in twain.#twain.that's a fun word#i've learned from past projects that blurring specific parts of an image is more complicated than just pressing the blur button#example: the blurring around lumen's hands in that suncaster pic of them all lying down in the grass#(i recognize a lot of people who will see this will see it in the haikyuu tag and have no idea who that is.roll w it)#the edges of her hands r still sharp in that image bc <3 i did it wrong<3#idk how to explain it but like#if u don't Also draw what's underneath whatever ur blurring it will not look right#especially if all ur colors r neatly snuggled up together and not overlapping (which i tend to snuggle them instead of overlap)#then the colors ur blurring have an empty Canvas Color beneath them that pokes out#this is prolly common knowledge to most people. in retrospect it seems like common sense. however (doesn't elaborate)

Another Wood-Engraved Feathursday
This two-color wood engraving of a Common Loon (Gavia immer) and a soaring Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is from an engraved bookplate for school librarian Thomas Anderson by Western Massachusetts wood engraver and letterpress printer Abigail Rorer (b. 1949). The engraving, signed by Rorer, was printed at her Lone Oak Press in Petersham, Massachusetts for the print portfolio of number 25 of the deluxe edition of Parenthesis: Journal of the Fine Press Book Association, a donation from the estate of our dear friend Dennis Bayuzick.

Some fantasy traveler inventory details (like what they would carry in their bags), based on two of the recent costumes I did.. love finding random little scraps and items and putting them together lol
#it's obvious who's is who's since they match their outfits HOWEVER.. consider if they were switched lol#evil villain looking man carrying around pressed flowers in a cutesy lacy pouch#fantasy costume#what's in my bag#actualyl that would have been funny to make a video. I should make a video#I'm sure someone else has already done this#but like.. lifestyle vlogger type content however I'm dressed in fully costume as some weird elf or something#pulling things out of my bag and showing them to the camera and talking about how they're useful for whatever#but it's all fantasy scenarios and talking like it's very common#'and of course. i know it's a bit cliche#EVERY traveler has one of these. but you know. theyre just useful! thats why everyone has one!' *pulls out a completely unrecognizable item#thats like some weird fantasy world prop and doesn't even explain it because In-world it's normal and wouldnt need to be talked about*#'room tour' video and it's just like 'yeah I sleep on this mat under a bunch of trees uh.. over here by these rocks. at least right now. I#kind of wander around a bit. so'#Like a clothing haul but it's a potions shop haul or something and they ramble about some obscure drama in the potions community and how the#y hard to barter and steal and entire flock of sheep or something just to get one of them. etc. etc.#I could do ones for different characters too like. multiple people from different walks of life showing what they carry around with them.#just like this but more interview sort of vlog format instead of photos#This is where not having much money and not having my own house with land becomes an issue though#I think it would take you out of the illusion if the background was always the same. I can make small sets because there's one blank wall in#a room that it's easy to move all the stuff away from in front of and clear a spot and like hang up fabrics or whatever but still.. hmms#So one of those 'fun idea but dubious about handling the execution' things. also One Of Those Things where without looking it up you're 100%#sure it's already been done and you don't want to look weird since it's vaguely niche. Like if 100 people have done something it's fine but#if only like 3 other people have then you look weird maybe ghhjbj.. or only one other person gods forbid. looks even weirder potentially#Or do people not care about ''copying'' anymore?? idk. I'm not updated with the internet's changing culture. I just have a fear of accidenta#lly doing something like that and then people getting mad even though it's really just that I competely had no idea it had been done because#again.. I live under a rock and am unaware of everything lol. ANYWAY. also would require my face being on video which I don't like. Though I#would be in costume so that helps. I think to be fully comfortable I'd need light modifications to make my face look different. which isn't#hard but is more effort when it has to be translatable in multiple angles. ANYWAY. ghjbhj... Now I think it would be funny actually. maybe#one day. I haven't made any videos (aside from on the gameplay/sims channel) in a long long time actually. hmm'st

garden, where memories are
context
#undertale#undertale yellow#uty#uty au#uty clover#premaposting#if you dont like pressing links the tldr is that flowey fumbles and clover escapes his subconcious long enough to adventure it#i like to think the last 2 party members need to be convinced to join clover as theyre initially hostile#this area could be between the 2nd and 3rd pillar#I like to think this area is very warm and enemies are rather trivial just in abundance#and then theres that one ohko'er#im not making it buttercup themed istg <- lie#the flowers are barely recognizable except the golden flowers#which meroyah tries to pick out as theyre weeds#yeah thats their name. totally not memory and common neutral suffix#i have this idea where after they come to join clovers cause they invite everyone in their house#and then they make a pie and de is like “wait a minute why is it buttercups clover cant eat this”#and mero is like “if you keep making them i wont forget what started all of this.”#“if we didnt fumble this they couldve never known and that wouldve stopped them from eating them. right.”#mero isnt just memories but guilt. survivor guilt possibly#if x didnt happen then somewhat related y wouldnt happen right?#utysd

Some of you have just gotten wayyyy too comfortable with bullying other people in fandoms.
For a start: having to drag people's oc or fic if you personally don't like how it goes or who they're paired with. Back in the day we had this thing called "don't like, don't read" and I don't know if you kids still do that but it's basically this thing of knowing we don't like a certain character or pairing and as such, choosing not to read it. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Shutting the fuck up is free.
Another is this constant obsession with claiming people are "plagiarising". Plagiarism is obviously real and does exist, but I'm talking about when there are common concepts in fics and you're claiming they were "stolen" from you. Like idk I was one of the first people to write and popularise the "Baratheon daughter" concept, but that doesn't mean I own it, it doesn't give me the right to tell others what they should and shouldn't write to do with that. In fact, it gives me no right at all. The other time I cared was when people literally plagiarised my story, or else copied exactly edits that I'd made. Writing fanfic is realising that people sometimes have similar ideas to you. It doesn't mean they copied you, get over yourself. If you can't differentiate between common concepts and plagiarism, I don't know what to tell you.
I don't know. It just sucks where we are in this place where others are deliberately making fandoms shitty for other people. People used to do "twin" edits if they shared a faceclaim, they used to be interested in seeing how others would play off a similar concept. But these days you kids are so fucking hostile and just want to attack everything you come across that you, personally, do not like.
#madz talks#fanfiction things#idk#i just see it so much more#people used to write ramsay bolton fics for fuck's sake#so why are you getting so pressed over aegon fics?#you can dislike a character without telling others they can't write for them#same goes for the basic logic of recognising common concepts#pull your head out of your ass

Max is clearly not a fan of PR and they got him to do this tik tok, which I'm sure he happily obliged to looking how happy and silly he seems while doing it.
Man they're really obsessed with Charles at the Red Bull garage. All of a sudden they're posting too much lestappen on the main.
#I still can't wrap my head around it like he really did it#yesterday they brought up karting at the press today this what's next marriage announcement?#what is happening in the house of commons??#What? like really are we living in a fanfic? did that just happen?#charles leclerc#max verstappen#lestappen#mexican gp 2023

also holding a very sharp image in my head of john, probably drunk, cornering dean against a wall and roughly shoving his shirt up and grinding against his ass and shoving his nose in dean's neck and gripping his hips and dean gasping and sighing and john just releasing immediately and stumbling away and dean's brain is like wow this is what it's like to be in love.
#send help#deanjohn#and obvi they never speak of it again#john having this monstrous alter ego almost that presses through his sense of human decency when he's been drinking or using#and his common sense too#rearing its head and hyper focused on dean and dean loving those moments when the monster appears#not wanting to spook that version of his father because that version touches him#that version smells him#licks him#grazes his teeth against the nape of his neck#and dean never knows how far the monster will go but he's content with however little or more he gets

the way people feel completely entitled to being nasty, snarky, and belittling towards me for having to ask for allergy information... there's a special place in hell for you genuinely
#this happens often but god im never fucking expecting it#people are so mean to me when i ask about gluten free options#sorry i dont want to be a swollen naked sobbing wreck throwing up on the bathroom floor for the next several days#i will grovel at your feet and suck your filthy toes clean for the inconvenience#the way people will just refuse point blank to tell me if smtn has flour in it then mock me for pressing like#like#man#genuinely kys#literally illegal to not have common allergies written plainly in an easy to access place for employees to reference but ok.#no one knows and its a mystery#guess ill go fuck myself

Hey y'all, I might be taking out my ass here, but the timing of this new data-selling AI business is either an extremely unfortunate coincidence or a calculated attempt to draw attention away from Tumblr's transphobia problem.
Like, if they were hoping to use bad press to distract from The Thing They Have Lawsuits Over, a pretty safe move would be to shift focus onto something that by Tumblr's own admission has very few existing laws. Just a thought.
#their apology & declaration to work on the moderation issues seemed pretty genuine but the timing of this new release is just too suspicious#this is all a theory but. Drawing attention to a new easy source of outrage to distract from a pressing issue is a Common Tactic#that we've seen before#tumblr meta#please don't flood my mentions with garbage for this#textpost

A Falco Feathursday
This Feathursday we showcase three of the smallest falcons in Europe and America: the Eurasian Hobby (Falco subbuteo), Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), and American Kestrel (Falco sparverius). All are in the genus Falco, and all occupy a similar niche within the falcon genus, although the Hobby is more falconesque in its hunting behavior. The American Kestrel, however, may not be a true kestrel, but seems more closely related to other North American falcons.
These paintings are by the British bird artist Terance James Bond and are reproduced in our folio volume Birds, The Paintings of Terance James Bond, published in Cambridge, England, by the Lutterworth Press in 1988. Of his painting of the American Kestrel, Bond writes:
The species . . . can be found in parkland, farmland, and the margins of towns and villages [and cities!]. To hint at this association with modern man I have chosen to illustrate my male bird against a setting of sawn logs. This I feel works very well, the firewood is a perfectly natural element but the presence of civilised man is suggested through the obviously unnatural arrangement of the timber. The bird could be sunning itself in somebody's farmyard or rural garden and has taken advantage of the perching point whilst it sits and waits for the arrival of a potential snack.

Milk baths and bad smells
#korekiyo shinguji#kirumi tojo#cruise ship au#danganronpa ask blog#There are legends that Cleopatra bathed in goat milk daily for her complexion. These legends have not been confirmed and some historians be-#lieve that Roman Empress Poppaea (wife of Nero) set this bathing fashion after Cleopatra's death.#Queens Catherine Parr and later Elizabeth I of England bathed in milk in the belief that it would make their skin appear more youthful and#pale.Tincture of benzoin was also referred to as a 'milk bath' in the United States in the 1800s#which could in some cases be confused#for baths of cow milk#also popular at the time. There are references to cows milk as a bath technique found in India in the 1800s in#“Fifty-one years of Victorian life” by Margaret Elizabeth Child Villiers#Countess of Jersey. In the early 1900s#singer and Broadway star#Anna Held was reported to bathe in milk daily. She was later quoted as having bathed in milk two times a week when living in Paris#finding#it difficult to do so while traveling. Her husband Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. later reported to the press that she bathed in milk daily and set up#photo shoots so that reporters could photograph the milk being delivered to her. A buttermilk bath was also a common historical bathing#technique for show animals and remains in practice today (such as for pigs and dogs).#- That's Korekiyos Rambling (it's from Wikipedia)
