also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.
there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.
you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.
but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.
#like re: the last post#npd SHOULDNT mean 'youre an abusive person'#but also people who have abused people in the past can still become better people in the present#you know?#and as i metioned vaguely in that post. the way we currently treat people with NPD probably CAUSES THEM to lash out at and abuse others#if u abuse someone they lash back out at you and suddenly theres fun mutual abuse happening#so they need a way out of that cycle

I don't know why Chad Charming being adopted is considered to be implausible by some. Cinderella, an orphan, choosing to adopt her firstborn to save him from a childhood like her own is the most in-character thing ever.
#“maybe he just took after his grandfather” be so fr#no because why is adoption so out of the realm of possibility for you guys#you may want to re-examine your own personal views and biases of traditional adoption#oh and may i also add all the complaints about ella letting chad and chloe become that spoilt#like its completely unusual for an abuse victim to overcompensate when breaking the cycle with their own kids#descendants#disney descendants#descendants rise of red#rise of red#chad descendants#chad charming#cinderella

after death ; life again.
what a lovely bouquet! what's the occasion?
#submas#maybe it says something about our world when we adorn our dead with flowers.#human lives and flowers. both so fragile. both beautiful in their own rights.#an eternal cycle; to return to the earth and re-emerge as something wonderful#all this is a long winded way to say i think there is a quiet beauty even in sorrow and grief. you just have to look for it.#hmm. anywayss#i know i said i was gonna draw more horror stuff. but i kept trying and none of it was coming out how i envisioned it.#bleugh. oh well. i suppose it's just as fun to draw flowers as it is to draw blood. :×#submas emmet#submas ingo#<- kinda. i mean that is his coat.#emmet#ingo#my art#🐌 slow pieces#tw implied death#<- also just in case

to stay the same sad, sorry mother
#resident evil 7#resident evil 8#mia winters#rosemary winters#eveline re7#rose winters#resident evil#resident evil fanart#blood#do u guys ever think abt how insane the mia development is in such a good way. like being an alone single(ish) mother w a bioweapon baby#who just wants a family. then they kill that kid and they escape just to be doomed to the same life again. i dont think shed EVER view her#life w rose as punishment dont take it like that. but more so her life is a punishment to pay for her sins via the cycle of being given#everything back. just to end up with the same isolating issues she had in re7#her motherhood is so interesting!!! i think shed have a lot of complexities w it.. a balance of unconditional love out of fear of how badly#she messed up the first time. oh my goddd#i love herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr shes my fav re chara ever and like. all time top faves in general. i love her so much GRRRRRRRRRR#idc if this looks kinda ass n rushed but i had to put it down ^.^#a childs loving grip too LOL *goes insane*

as someone who grew up gay and religious when i first read the dream thieves and i read "The second is a harder kind of secret: one you keep from yourself. Every day, thousands of confessions are kept from their would-be confessors, none of these people knowing that their never-admitted secrets all boil down to the same three words: I am afraid" which is how it feels to be gay, i was like damn i really relate sucks that it's probably something Weird and Magical like every other one of his loser secrets but then in the epilogue reading "ronan's second secret was adam parrish" ohfhhdmmmfjd
yes it's gay it's about. being gay

tutorial contents:
1 ‣ gshade & photoshop actions 2 ‣ template or cropping & colouring 3 ‣ notifs & pop-ups
okay hi! i have a really old editing tutorial from back in january that i've been linking people to, but it's pretty outdated by now. i also keep getting anons asking about the same things, which is fine, but i always have to go searching for the post explaining it, so having it all in one place will be a lot more convenient lol
i use a ☠ copy of photoshop cc 2017 to edit my screenshots, however the majority of everything i'm doing also works on photopea
photopea is an online version of photoshop that's 100% free and works very well! i can't recommend it enough, it's fantastic
first things first, you're going to need some screenshots to edit. for the sake of this tutorial i'll be working with this one of raffy:
in all honesty, gshade will do most of the work for you. of course it's not needed, but i definitely don't think i could live without it! in this screenshot i used sunset n' vinyl by nesurii
when opening the screenshot, the first thing i do is run it through 2 photoshop actions:
butter action by early-grape
smooth sharp (no topaz) by poolbrop
to add actions in photoshop go:
windows > actions > the 4 lines at the upper right corner of the newly opened window > load actions > your downloads folder > open up the .atn files!
if you're using photopea, as far as i'm aware you can't use photoshop actions, but i've found that 'filter > stylize > oil paint' and 'filter > sharpen > smart sharpen' have a very similar effect when using the right settings. try these:
i like these two actions because they smooth everything out nicely, but keep it sharp at the same time! i always run butter before i run smooth sharp, however butter may leave you with 2 layers. make sure to merge these layers before running smooth sharp to achieve the full effect.
here's a before and after (of the photoshop action):
from here you can move on to step 2
before anything else i want to share the template that i use to make editing a lot faster. you don't need to use it but it's definitely made things a lot easier for me! it's a .psd file and will work perfectly in photopea
download (simfileshare)
if you're using the template you can skip right on to the next section, as it's already cropped to the right size and has the colouring folder included. just drag your screenshot into it and resize to fit the height.
if you're not using it, crop your edited screenshot to:
1707 width x 1280 height
then adjust the colours to your liking. it always varies slightly depending on the picture but my regular process for each screenshot would be:
up the saturation by 8%
up the lightness by 3%
up the contrast by 12%
all of this can be done by looking in the 'images > adjustments' tab
you should end up with something similar to this!
if you want to add a moodlet or social interaction or anything similar, it's all the same process. what you'll need is a screenshot of it straight from the game. i just press the 'c' key to capture them! i'll be working with these two:
for the blue notification i'm going to select it using the box select tool. try to get it as exact as possible. one you have it selected
for photoshop users:
click on the 'select and mask...' option located at the top
adjust the global refinements at the side as follows:
smooth: 70 feather: 0.0px contrast: 50% shift edge: 0%
for photopea users:
go to select > modify > smooth
set it to 15
select 'ok' and press 'ctrl + c' to copy it, then 'ctrl + v' to paste it into your screenshot. adjust the size and position and you should end up with something like this:
next you want to add the transparent border around the notification. if you're using my editing template, right click on the reference notif in the layers tab and select 'copy layer style' (photopea > 'layer style > copy'). from there you can paste that layer style onto your own notif through the layers tab.
if you're not using the template, here's how to set it up on photoshop:
right click your notification layer and select 'blending options'
under styles, tick the checkboxes for stroke and drop shadow
input these settings:
on photopea, it should be more or less the same. repeat the exact same process with the social menu option, but instead of selecting it with the box select tool, use the magic select tool. in the end you should end out with this!
from here you're finished! thanks for reading! go to file and export as png
if you've got questions never hesitate to ask, just make sure to read the faq in my pinned. i might edit this post soon to include the gen intro traits and aspirations bit, but this is all for now. hope it helps, my editing process post has been in need of a revamp for a very long time. i haven't proof-read this so apologies for any mistakes!
#ts4#sims 4#ts4 tutorial#5 anons in my inbox asking the same question after not reading my faq#this ones for you#3 anons in my inbox asking about cas pics#ones coming for you soon#okay maybe not soon but sometime#all my free time has been eaten up#i signed up for extra saturday morning classes and not having a lie in is sucking the life out of me lmao#when i'm busy i just wanna play video games and when i get the chance#to play games i just wanna sleep#its a vicious cycle#i'm currently playing resident evil biohazard tho#enjoying it very very much#i've only got 2 and 3 left to play and i've played every mainstream re game 💪💪#it was a very fun journey! i played them all within this year#long post

Theon + Survival Horror (2/?)
#valyrianscrolls#theon greyjoy#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#twoweeksoftheon#*asoiaf#two of my favourite things!#re reading clash and dance back to back i was struck by the gentleness of theon's attitude w jeyne p that's almost motherly to me#and then i thought about the fact that despite everything he was once a scared child missing his mother#and that the person he seems to relate to the most *is* a scared child who is a prisoner#and that he refers to her as a child the very first time he sees her again in dance#a child the adults in power are using to their own ends#it makes me iiiiiiiiiiih#the cycle is cycling you know#the games are haunting ground SH2 and rule of rose btw#*ths

girl help
also i know it's my decision if i kin him or not but i. certainly qualify for it. under certain standards.
#brodoroki personal#brodoroki art#i kind of forget that he was the initial reason i cut my hair#despite the fact that i had already wanted to be perceived as male#also yeah i go by a differrent name (real name) irl than brody (shortened brodoroki) bc i don't want to re-introduce myself to everyone irl#and when i'm trying to cycle between the two names in my mind i just. sometimes select apollo as an option#i don't mean to my brain just hands me it like 'this is you right? this is your name??'#sidenote but i'm happy i;m comfortable with drawing myself#means my sona sees less use (invented him so i could draw myself but not worry about drawing people) but i still like him

oooh the sequence of on-stage female disrobings in the oresteia, one in each play-- cassandra casting off her prophet's robe and priestly emblems in the agamemnon, clytemnestra baring her breast to orestes in the libation bearers, and the erinyes exchanging their monstrous regalia for the red robes of their new identity as the eumenides... it's not explicit in the text of the eumenides that they take anything off but they are discarding one identity in order to assume a new one that they put on as a garment, and even if they don't take off any part of their fury-costume it's still such a way to reverse and resolve the two disrobings in the earlier plays
#watch this post turn into a dissertation chapter#i have not paid nearly enough attention to the choephoroi breast-baring scene#both cassandra's and clytemnestra's disrobings precede their deaths#(bc to take off one's costume is to take off one's identity ie for the actor to take off the character and be done w/ them)#(and to disconnect identity/self and body in the same way as death disconnects soul/self and body)#but the (re)robing of the eumenides is about continued life and avoiding the cycle that leads to more death#bodycostume#mine#oresteiablogging#see how many thoughts i have when i do my reading in daylight hours
