The image and the experience are what people crave.

Gilear Faeth is doomed by the narrative in that he was supposed to be just Some Guy, but his daughter was so determined for him to be part of the narrative that he ended up with an ancestral curse

Sometimes I feel like Dropout are working really hard specifically to make sure that I can’t explain any of my hyper fixations to my family and friends without sounding completely out of touch with reality.

answering “are you dating” with “it’s complicated” when the complicated part is that hes a manifestation of your worst fears that tried to fucking kill you is insane btw

Here's the thing.

If a fairy knocked at my door.... I would go and check for black mold, check the last thing I ate and maybe get a new carbon monoxide detector.

If a walrus turned up, the number of mental gymnastics are greater and it's less plausible that I'm hallucinating

Head Advice #1: Everybody’s head is the same size.

Okay, not really, but basically. There’s a reason you don’t have to know your head circumference to find a sunhat. We all have pretty similar head sizes, especially from the visual distance we usually draw characters.

The only exception to this is babies or children under 10. Those guys definitely have smaller heads! (But did you know our skulls are already over 90% their full adult size by the age of 5?)

Different style choices demand different proportions, but in general, it’s good advice to pick a head size, and stick with it!

Head Advice #2: You can use head size to indicate a character’s size.

Big characters don’t look like average sized people scaled up. And you can’t just scale down to get a small person!

You can make a character look very big and tall or very very small — even if they are standing alone in a vast white nothingness — just by how how they are proportioned! The most important proportion (in my humble opinion) is their head size. Look me in the eyes and tell me you can’t tell which of these characters are big and which are small.

Head Advice #3: Don’t go shrinking anyone’s head.

The most common head sins I see happen when an artist is trying to indicate (body) size difference in a couple, and use their heads to do it. The result is an image that looks something like this:

If you don’t want your lovers to look like they belong in different animated tv shows, don’t go shrinking anyone’s head! Use their bodies (hands and feet and bellies and muscles) to show off their size differences.

Anyway, that’s all. Having fun giving head. I mean doing head. I mean drawing heads.

I'm about 75 pages into Mort, which is the earliest Discworld book I've read, and I think I see what people mean when they say the earlier books are a bit rough around the edges. It's not bad, and I don't think I would even think to comment on it if I didn't already know people said that, but it doesn't quite feel like Discworld yet. If for no other reason than that in 75 pages, there's been 1 (one) footnote

best advice to all knights regarding pre-tournamet anxiety is to bend your squire over sometime before they finish arming you, rut into them as fast and clumsily as you can, your chainmail hauberk cutting into their bare ass, spill into them because they’ll ask for it, then struggle into the rest of your gear as your squire lies prone and leaking on the floor. Remind your squire to stand up, clean up , and carry your banner before you ride out though, it’s incredibly important that all the nobility see how weak-kneed and red-faced they are.
