Hii! First of all, I absolutely ADORE your HK AU, the whole Idea and your art style are perfect imo!
If that's not too much to ask, could you please tell us something about your process of drawing humans (and maybe also bugs)? Dewi and his dad always look so adorable, I was hoping to take a peek at your drawing secrets
Hello! And thank you!!! 💕💟💗☮️
I wouldn't be the first to admit it, but I have trouble drawing humans, like- A LOT of trouble. My consistency is that of bread, as in it's different every time I make it 😅. But I have to remind myself that I draw for fun, not for quick improvement. Uh anyways-
When I draw anything, especially humans, I make a quick and simple rough draft of their position and expression. This helps me feel "prepared" for lineart.
Sometimes I'll do multiple rough draft sketches, usually if the final piece is going to be very detailed.
For my personal style of art, I give humans big eyes and noses, with very flexible mouth movements. Here's a neat speedpaint :)
Never be afraid to use references!!! (even if it's annoying and takes time -w-)
Humans (and bugs) can be challenging to draw at times, but its important to keep things basic.
And sometimes you can get silly with it, Charlie Brown simple style.
#For the HK bugs I also use a ton of official references!!!#i hope this helped?#bread#ask stuff#art advice#art help#art tips

question, if you only have a basic plot concept how would you normally expand the plot? There's a story I really want to write and I know the idea of the vibe I want for it but I'm not sure of much from there ^^
Well, for me, I usually look at other media to get inspiration, things that are similar to what I'm trying to write. I imagine what my characters would do in the same situations, or I think about what I would have written instead, and from there, I figure out what could go where in an outline. We like to think our stories are original, but there's never a truly original story, and we're all a little inspired by each other. A lot of the movies or books you read have similar plotlines, but it's the author's influence and the character choices that make you decide if you like it or not.
Something that helps me is keeping in mind that other characters are doing things in the story outside of my narrator's POV, so they could create scenes for me. A villainous plot, someone confessing a crush, getting their doctorate and throwing a party. I think of it like... Making a hairstyle? Like one plot concept: you're putting your hair in a ponytail. Two plot concepts: you're creating a french braid. A third concept, you're making a regular braid. There are moving parts underneath your first story.
It goes into "How does my character get from point A to point B": knowing there are ups and downs to the road they have to take, and sometimes they might get sidetracked. My character has to get over a ravine, but they don't have a bridge to get across. Maybe they have to make a friend to help them find a bridge somewhere further down the ravine, or maybe an older figure in their lives teaches them how to make the bridge, or maybe someone on the other side of the ravine tries to help them get across.
(These are metaphorical or literal examples. "Ravine" could be a major set back in their lives, like trust issues. The "bridge" is them getting the tools to get over the setback. And the other characters are helping them figure it out, but every person has a different situation and therefore, different solutions.)
Sometimes, writing with a basic concept of what you want is the way to go- the problems create themselves, and you solve them as you go along. Your character gets across the ravine, but now they have a mountain to climb. It's up to you to decide if they trek it on their own, or if someone comes along and decides to help, or if there's a person who waits at the start of the trail and always offers help to the travelers they come across.

Hi Sara! You are wise and cool and I'd appreciate advice if you have any! I am trying to make friends especially with fellow autistic people in real life but it is very very hard and scary also I don't know how to find people who want friends. Do you have any advice? (Please only answer if you want to!)
Thank you Ghostly!! 🙏 You are so valid - it *is* hard and scary to make irl friends!! (... Online friends too, tbh)
I don't know if I have any helpful advice, but I'll try!
I think what's worked best for me is to meet people in contexts that are related to specific, niche interests. I'm not entirely sure I have any IRL friends anymore who are only autistic, I do have a bunch who are both autistic and have ADHD though. And all of them, I've met through various kinds of special interests.
For example, several people in my TTRPG group are neurodiverse. How did I meet them? I happened to sit next to a guy I'd never spoken to before while at a work lunch, and we got to talking fantasy books (... I don't really remember how), which got us into RPG talk, which eventually led to him asking me by the end of the lunch whether I'd like to join the TTRPG group that he and some of his friends were starting up soon. That was 3,5 years ago, and we're still playing together to this day!
Another, I met through Magic: The Gathering - we were going to the same weekend event (not related to MtG) and I saw him post in a thread about looking for people to play some games with, so I replied to him, and we pretty much clicked right away because it turned out we had lots of other similar interests as well.
A third, I got to know through playing social deception games at yet another event, in which we sort of fell into a banter-y jargon while trying to convince everyone else to vote out the other. (We were both the wild cards in every game, because I had a habit of grinning wildly and looking generally untrustworthy regardless of which role I was given, and he had an absolutely straight face regardless and was really hard to read, so we pretty quickly identified each other as friendly rivals.) Then I figured out he lived in the same city as I did, and my train was cancelled, so I used my Charisma™ to hitch a ride with him and his dad back home :D
... So based on my own experiences, it seems I've mostly met other neurodiverse people through various kinds of games, which is one of my great passions in life! Depending on what your interests are, maybe there are events, groups or such that you could be on the lookout for? Sort of like it usually happens on Tumblr I guess, but IRL it's a bit harder since you have to do more work and research to find those places and communities.
The thing is though, it will always be scary. The first time I went to play with the TTRPG group, I was super scared. I barely said anything during the first hour or so, and even after several sessions, it still took some time each time to get back into it and relax. But I always have a lot of fun while playing, and I know they appreciate having me there, so that makes it easier to relax and not worry so much. It was the same thing with the MtG friend - I rewrote that first message sooo many times, and then had a racing heart by the time I went to meet up with him. The trick for me has been to recognise when it's worth pushing through that discomfort, and try to be accepting of the fact that sometimes it won't work out, but sometimes it will; sometimes it will lead to amazing friendships, but sometimes it will fizzle out or face plant before it could even start. And that's fine.
It gets easier with time in my experience, but it never gets easy. I've sort of had to accept that I usually don't make a great first impression. It's not that I make a bad impression, I just don't think I make much of an impression at all - I probably seem more shy than I really am, and sometimes my fears make me behave really awkwardly. But after a couple times, as I start to relax and get more comfortable being myself, I think I can make a really really good impression! And I stress a little less about first impressions when I remind myself of that.
Oh, and one more thing: I've personally found that it's a lot easier to meet new people if they are there by themselves. People who already hang out in groups are much harder to approach. Because of this reason, actually, I tend to avoid going to places together with my friends if my aim is to meet new people. It means I won't have the comfort and safety of my friends with me, but it increases the likelihood that I'll approach people I wouldn't have talked to others - or that they will approach me! (The friend I met through social deception games is the opposite, though. He says the comfort of having friends with him makes him more relaxed and confident, which makes it easier for him to meet new people.)
#ask a nerd#i hope this helped?#As usual I kinda feel like I started rambling.#But I really appreciate that you asked me this!! I'm happy you think I'm someone who can give good advice ^_^#I think you are an awesome person and I am glad that we met!!

what is inuyasha i've never even heard of it till people kept answering inuyasha on the poll lol
you. you've never heard of inuyasha?
okay, so, it's a story about a girl named kagome who gets sucked into her family's old well (her family has a shrine) and ends up in feudal era japan. there, she meets and frees a dogboy (inuyasha, he's a dog/wolf half demon) who was basically the boyfriend of her past life. things happen and she accidentally shatters a really powerful jewel into pieces and they have to go around gathering all the pieces before the Dark Forces can get them, along with a monk, a really powerful demon slayer, and a young fox demon. there's also a romance between inuyasha and kagome that isnt bad, since theyre both tsunderes and idiots (im not much of a traditional media romance fan, myself)
it's also loosely based off journey to the west (inuyasha is monkey, kagome is tripitaka but more powerful)
honestly it's really good. you should check it out. ive been rewatching it lately, and even a decade later it's still really enjoyable
#inuyasha#link answers#strrwbrrryjam#definitely recommend#though if you watch in english i will warn that they change kagomes voice actor in the last season#(also called 'inuyasha the final act)#theres like four movies too#i think only one or two are actually like. canon?#i hope this helped?#you can dm me if you have any other questions

(@amewwayofliving) Er, hi. Do you know how to human? -Mew
I've been sitting on this ask for a bit now and here's the reason:
I don't know.
Being human is such a complicated, messy thing. Our lives are so short compared to some of the lifespans of our Pokémon partners. So I just... don't know.
I guess being human is about making mistakes? And just living them and trying to not make the same ones? It's about being able to change.
But that's more just... life in general and by that definition even Pokémon are human.
I think as long as you try your best and try to be kind to others (and don't let them walk all over you) is how you be human. Its just trying your best.
#i hope this helped?#idk man im in my 20s so im still trying to figure out whats going on with my life#all i know is right now is where im meant to be#and its okay to screw up and make mistakes because people will love me anyways#rotomblr#reblog#pokemon irl#pokeblogging#pokeblr#pokeirl#pokemon#pokeblog rp#a mew way of living#ask answer

the memes and jokes about biden dropping out are all great but PLEASE dont turn away and forget the victims of him directly funding a genocide. these are real people that are still being impacted by his cruelty, their tragedies are still ongoing and they need our support more than ever.
if I can suggest a Palestinian family to support, I'll highly recommend Yusuf and his family—who has been vetted for [here]. The GoFundMe breaks down the costs, including the urgent need for an eight year old child to have a kidney replacement, but only ��8,404 is currently needed for his family to pay crossing and coordination fees!!
#update with new GFM!!! thank you all for your generosity towards wafaa to help her finally reach her goal!!!#im beyond words in how much this means and i hope you all will have the same energy and motivation to help this family as well!!

the fact that alfred was the one to put up jason's memorial is so important to me
#alfred's military background and his sudden shove into parenthood are things i think about a lot#alfred using the term 'soldier' as something honourable. as something to take pride in.#alfred putting 'a good soldier' on jason's plaque to show his care#the voice in bruce's head referring to his children as his soldiers sounding suspiciously like alfred's#bruce initially refusing to acknowledge jason's existence after his death bc it's the only way he can keep going#& alfred saying 'i will not let you do this. if you will not acknowledge him in your daily life i will make you do so every night'#because alfred doesn't know how to acknowledge the absence of a child either#besides going about your life and praying hoping wishing that they return somehow safe and sound#but he knows how to honour fallen soldiers.#and he will help you in the only way that he can.#sorry i just have so many thoughts about this#(justice league 19)#alfred pennyworth#jason todd#red hood#bruce wayne#batman

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.
And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.
#i saw the tv glow#I saw the tv glow spoilers#it is SUCH a queer story#the disassociation. the hiding in fiction to feel alive.#the horror of watching time tick by and knowing you’re not who you’re meant to be#the unique paralysis of staying put in hell because it’s safer than what might be over the horizon#the tragedy of trying to help someone who isn’t ready to be helped#god it’s so much. god. rarely do I walk out of a film and just stare soundlessly into space#anyway. please see this movie. although I sort of hope if you’re reading this post it’s cuz you already have#eta: I used he because the main character never quite vocalizes another pronoun#but this is SUCH a trans story. suuuuch a trans story. it is not even a little subtle#it’s so good and so so painful

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)
the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)
all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)
you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!
and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!
#i mostly made this for me but i hope it can help other people too!#also thinking about maybe putting this on smth like gumroad so people can download a high quality pdf to print themselves#lmk if anyone would be interested in that 👀#my art#artists on tumblr#stretches#edit: this post popped off okay‚ also a lot of people expressed interest so i made a gumroad! maybe ill put other stuff there thatd be cool

When Senshi was young in the dungeon the majority of the adults he were with ostracized him. All except Gillin, who died to make sure Senshi had something to eat: unseasoned boiled meat that may or may not have been one of their comrades.
It really puts into perspective why he was so nurturing towards Chilchuck. When Chil reveals he’s 28 to the party, Senshi responds by telling him that he thought he was older. Senshi was in his 30s when he and his comrades got trapped in the dungeon, so it’s safe to assume that he thought Chil was at a similar age.
He met a young boy who was, from his perspective, forced to do dangerous work in the dungeon just like he was, and so, Senshi made an effort to look after Chilchuck in the same way Gillin looked after him.
Mind you, when Senshi was young in the dungeon he had to starve for weeks, eat the horse he loved, and finish it off spending the next i don’t know how many years wondering if he committed cannibalism.
Senshi understands first hand the value of nutrition and proper eating, so when he’s with the party he makes an effort to make sure they’re all eating a full and balanced diet. Not only that, but Senshi INVOLVES them in the process of getting food to eat, always preparing it in front of them and narrating every ingredient in the process so that there’s no doubt about what they’re eating.
#i woke up in the middle of the night to write this and haven’t proof read so i seriously hope it’s coherent lmaoooo#dungeon meshi spoilers#delicious in dungeon spoilers#senshi#dungeon meshi#everyone jokes about senshi giving chilchuck the talk but he’s literally just trying to take care of a young boy who needs help#i’m crying#and sobbing#and punching the air
