#editing asks

[rubenesque-as-fuck]

WTF when did they take away the ability to edit asks after you post them? I noticed a typo on the one I just posted but the edit button is gone 😠 what is the point of taking away that function? I am a messy bitch and sometimes I need to edit things after the fact!

14 - 16 for the editing asks please <3

Hi Ayanna! I hope you're having a good weekend. (and let me tell you again how amazing your last story post was... holy shit, I loved it.)

14. do you draw any inspirations from other simblrs?

I think it's inevitable to draw inspiration from other people. As humans, and especially as artists, we can't see someone else's work and not think "oh wow, that's lovely. What if I tried doing X or Y?" The problem for me is that I have a really hard time pinpointing my inspirations, because for me the inspiration is a very subconscious thing. Also, most of my favorite edit-makers make edits that are much, more more complex than anything I make. But, some of my favorite edit-making simblrs are: @omgkayplays @potionio @goldenwaves @barbieaiden @literalite @panicsimss (But if you look at their edits, you can see that mine aren't very similar, lmao.)

15. do you have a specific sim you edit the most?

It's definitely Fallon. Which makes sense, because she is my baby, my most beloved sim, and the star of my story.

16. do you have a specific setting you edit the most?

Looking at my edit tag, by far the winner is a plain black background (mostly CAS edits, but some like my most recent one are in-game). But outside of CAS, it's most definitely flower fields, lmao. I love my sims standing in or in front of flowers. I have no idea why, it's just fun to do.

Thanks for the ask, Ayanna! Have an awesome weekend!

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

11 and 13 for the editing meme!

Hi Gabe! Thanks for the ask!!

11. tell me something you really like about how you edit

I'm really proud of how I draw my shadows, and that's one of my favorite parts of editing. It's time-consuming, but it's so satisfying to see it play out. And lately I've been experimenting with adding more detail via shadows, like the definition of wrinkles and veins in this edit.

13 answered here.

Thanks for the ask, and I hope you had a great weekend!

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).
