from the river to the sea, palestine will be free 🇵🇸 READ: this account stands with palestine, and so— i require everyone who interacts to educate themselves, and support/donate before reading. READ THESE; 1 and 2, HELP HERE, BOYCOTT. silence is complicity, do not scroll past this. DO NOT BUY THE REMASTER, TLOU2, TLOU1, OR ANY GAME FROM NAUGHTY DOG! neil druckmann (the creator) is a zionist. PLEASE READ THIS. AND REBLOG THIS.
jackson!ellie who makes the first move? kiss–wise. cause okay— we've got the scene from the actual game where dina locks in that first kiss, a drunken whim, and whatnot, but what about ellie doing so? allow me to conjure a picture up; that freckled, mellow–eyed portrait leveled to your face, her lips pinched to a demure crease— tense enough on the corners to hollow her dimples, the fat auburn worms above her eyes tweaking alongside a nod to your wisping words that enlighten her very eager brain right now, arms slack to wrap your waist and frisky warm upon the sacral of your spine with palms overlaid, waddling in a legato and sluggish manner to each pace of song. your lips are consistently ashift, lacing over every honeyed vowel that kept this silly little girl christened ellie— too attentive. eyes unto your lips, pupils enlarge and bedim all color to her organ–throbbing crush on you, a feeling, fennels and columbines a manifestation inside her flattered eyes watching you speak, "y'know, i just think that everybody on patrol is a dumb cunt, n' can't shoot for shit. maria needs to reassign." and, my. how words of curses and a rigid, shit–talking nature blow from your throat like a damn aria, on and on rambling, contract some balled sensation in ellie's gut to burst open a thousand angels serenading— their feathers a silken uncomfortableness in her guts. how it pushed her, made her spine shiver, made her face slowly tilt in, made her brows flinch sunken into the sea of her skin, and a little voice compelled her when you spoke, "totally should assign you and i—" mmmph. two mouths sealed as one. ellie, who was already a magnet, reached voice to voice and consumed the trails of your speech, flesh chapped yet somewhat plump and velvety of a 'sorry' she could not push into vocals rolled over the knoll of yours, pursing her top lip inside as her mouth steals your bottom one, an ample pressure on your inner–cheek that smushes her cute button nose as it pokes, and releases when she departs your consumption of that sudden kiss. her face lingers, still slanted, eyes darting across your face maddenly for any ounce of a reaction written in flesh, unsure on whether to sanction you some breathing room or to mention boldly about it— but you're too damn pretty to fleet away, so she decides to act somewhere balanced upon that spectrum gently, "did i do okay?" not 'was that okay?' nor 'fuck, m'sorry.' but those foolproof words, yet the look of a lost puppy was most pitiful on her features. you chuckle dry, and her palms flock to your waist— gripping, narrowing the answer out of you so timid, you have to chuckle the reply out as well, "more than okay," and you soften, bored of the blurry, obnoxious string lights a mere background to her big head, "very okay, williams." and shut the scene to nothing, pulling her rosy heat on your lips, once more.
sorry gays, idk what came over me. fluffy hours

if you do poly stuff could I get a Lute x reader x Adam
I 100% DO POLY STUFF OMFG I SIMP FOR THEM SO BAD
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4477a9e8994229bb33b6293c7aa03a1e/b3301d8b688196b3-23/s540x810/d215c0b6cdb78d2ef718c1a688c41c6b8bec9c3e.jpg)
Lute x reader x Adam
Headcannons and blurbs
warnings: hints of smut here and there but mostly toothrotting fluff
If you are under the age of 18 or legal age, please don't interact
Adam may not always treat you and lute the best but there's never really a doubt from either of you
Adam does his best to spend time equally but unfortunately with lute being his second in command he's constantly working with her
The moment one of their masks comes off when they get home on the other hand they're both yours for as Ling as they can be
Adam and lute had been gone all day, between planning the exterminations and dealing with having to train new exterminators they were wiped. You had worked as a secretary for Sera and Emily, so you were usually home pretty late. Adam and Lute picked up some pizza on the way home and were just waiting. Emily had been running you ragged having you play with her, color for hours, climb through a play place that she insisted on having for the younger sould and unfortunately she hadn't really taken into account that you needed to eat, so all day you had been starving. You were finally allowed to go home after heaven started to get dark to allow souls to rest. You were trugging up the stairs of your building going straight to your shared loft. You stepped into the loft, kicking your shoes off and hanging your bag, taking notice to the 2 masks already at the door. "Guys, I'm home!" You called out weakly as you stepped into the living room. They were sitting together on the couch cuddled up together while watching a movie. Lute took notice to you first and moved so she was standing on her knees on the couch as she waved you over. You gave her a weak smile as you leaned down and gave her a sweet kiss putting your hand on the side of her head as she immediately pulled you down more letting the kiss start to get heated as she pushed her tongue into her mouth. At this point, Adam took notice of you being back due to the happy little hums and heavy breaths that he was hearing next to him, Adam cleared his throat, trying to bring attention back to him. Lute pulled away before kissing your nose playfully. You laughed a bit before looking over at Adam. Adam gave you a small smile "Well hi there, sugar tits.. where's my kiss, huh? A kiss for your favorite boy?" Adam teased
It was often like this calm and sweet, and aside from Adam's minor sexist and misogynistic moments here and there
Lute always called him on his shit though
The only time your routine ever changed was the week after the exterminations
That was when mating season started, due to most of the angels being bird or animal based, which caused heaven to basically shut down
You, Adam, and lute just stayed in your apartment making a nest out of pillows and blankets
It was also one of the only times Adam took over cooking, insisting that you needed rest for later activities
Now, when it comes down to sex, Adam refuses to bottom, and so does lute (but not as harshly), leaving you between a rock and a hard place when you try to top
They're definitely big on restraints ,breeding, and marking. They just have to let anyone and everyone know who you belong to
Lute is rather quiet ob the vocal spectrum, and Adam only lets out curses and heavy breathes
Adam literally sucks at aftercare. He'll waste all of his energy focusing on fucking you silly that he's usually passed out by the end of it
Now, don't get lute wrong she loves you and loves to take care of you, but she isn't the best at aftercare either.
Lute will get you in a nice warm bath, maybe put warm compresses and massage on places that hurt and then will just put on a show in the background
Lute usually pays more attention to cleaning you up rather than Adam, she just takes a damp rag and just wipes him down
Cuddles are a must between the 2 of them
I mean it, they're so scared of losing you that they cling to you for dear life the moment you get home

✨️CRAIG TUCKER✨️
these hcs are incredibly based on my brother jake, he's autistic and acts a lot like Craig. also craig has so many fucking hcs already made of him, i tried so hard to be original here. Enjoy <3
• Craig Adriano Tucker
• He/Him
• Born on January 25th 2003
• 6'2"
• Bisexual (male preference)
• Half Irish on his dad's side, Peruvian on his mother's side. She died when he was around 2, and Thomas remarried to Laura when Craig was 5. Later on, they had Tricia, which makes her and Craig half-siblings.
• Has Level 1 ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder or "Aspergers Syndrome") and got diagnosed at 9. Also has dyslexia (reading disability) and dysgraphia (writing disability)
• Loves his grandmother because she's the only one who really talks to him about his Peruvian heritage and is the only remainder he has of his mom. He also resents his father over this because in his grief, tried to basically bury any and all memories of Craig's mom.
• Still dating Tweek. He was always secretly into guys but had a lot of internalized homophobia. Also he didn't know what bisexual meant so he assumed he was only into girls for a while.
• His chullo eventually got too small for his head so his grandmother knitted him another one and he gave his old one to Tricia.
• Eventually grew out of watching Red Racer and moved onto Star Trek, Star Wars and Game of Thrones. However he has a Red Racer t-shirt he bought as a kid that he wore all the time. When he grew out of it, he framed it and hung it up on his wall.
• Has a toy car collection on his shelf above his bed that he carefully arranged by height, size, weight, and color.
• Needed braces in 8th grade all the way until sophomore year of high school. His teeth were really bad because he refused to brush his teeth. The texture of toothpaste makes him wanna vomit. During this time, he didn’t talk a lot because he was embarrassed. Tricia certainly didn't help, by the way. She called him "train tracks" the entire time.
• Builds LEGO sets with Tweek.
• Huge astronomy nerd. He talks about space for hours and hours at a time. He's spent a lot of time thinking about things like which planets would be the most habitable, where stars come from, the existence of aliens and studying dark matter and dark energy. And he talks about all of this to Tweek, literally the only person who cares and is willing to listen. Or Stripe, if Tweek isn't around.
• Calls Airheads Xtremes Belts "gay bacon". He's being serious too, he thinks that’s what they're called.
• Atheist and believes in the Big Bang theory as well as evolution.
• Drinks Pepsi. That’s it. Only Pepsi, no water. He has to be forced to drink water. (another reason why his teeth are bad)
• Interested in capybaras, guinea pigs, hamsters, rodents in general.
• Does not answer most texts, or calls or even emails. It's on purpose too, he leaves almost everybody on read.
• Argues with Tricia like 24/7 usually over incredibly small stuff. Also Tricia is just really mean, she likes to mess with him for no reason. This can vary from harmless pranks to straight up abusing him randomly. However, Craig simply ignores her or just shoves her out of the room. He refuses to like physically fight her and will kick the shit out of anyone who hurts her. He's also usually trying to keep her from doing something dangerous. Or away from Tweek because she steals all his attention.
• Used to be called an asshole by everyone for just speaking his mind. He still is but he just doesn't care anymore.
• Listens to Artic Monkeys, The Neighborhood, and Cigarettes After Sex.
• Best friends with Clyde and Kenny.
• Craig doesn't really care about most things, so it's really hard to get him mad, but he likes to fight people for fun, which was why he was labeled as violent.
• Has glow in the dark star stickers on his walls and ceiling arranged like constellations.
• Ultimate grudge holder, he's still a little mad at the boys for getting him sent to Peru.
• Actually enjoys playing baseball but didn't want to be seen as "lame".
• Not much of a picky eater. He just hates when the food touches. He also doesn't like smooth, creamy textures, he likes crunchy food and noisily eats just to hear it better. The sound of something crunching tickles his brain.
• Always looks like he's pissed off even when he's perfectly content or happy he looks ready to fight someone. Clyde actually finds this hilarious.
Guys, I am a big supporter of adopted Peruvian Craig, but I made him mixed simply bc my face claim for him doesn't match up. Also, it explains why he doesn't really care when someone insults his "mom."
My baby Tweekers up next!! I just left the hospital and I'm sore as fuck but I'm mostly fine.
he's so relatable honestly.

do you have any tips on color harmony and the colors of the rainbow? I'm trying to draw a 10 color rainbow but I'm struggling to make the colors match and any color system like RYB, RGB, CMYK or Munsell doesn't work (Usually green doesn't go well with the transition to blue or purple and yellow get stronger shades than other nearby colors)
Color harmony is a really complicated subject, so definitely remember to be patient with yourself.
Colors are significantly affected by how they interact with each other. A red next to orange will look different than a red next to green, which will look different next to blue... etc.
This is really important when it comes to making a color palette, because the colors you use WILL play with eachother, so you have to be sure they're playing nice.
This piece, for example, is entirely red. It's all the exact same hue, but the value and saturation makes the colors still distinct from eachother.
When making a rainbow, especially with 10 distinct steps, you have a lot of potential with your colors.
Personally I use HSB/HSV sliders when I'm illustrating. Hue, Saturation, and Black/Value. This lets me be as precise as possible when I'm selecting my colors.
I'll be explaining everything with these terms! (Hue, Saturation, and Value)
1: These colors vary only on hue 2: These colors vary on hue and saturation 3: These colors vary on the hue and value
You can see how much each of these will affect the colors and how they look next to eachother. Manipulating these factors can give you a lot of control over your palette.
Now, I'm varying which color is the "focus" of the palette. I'm also modifying every aspect of HSB to make them play nice.
4: This palette has a lot more yellows and oranges than the rest, and barely any/no blues 5: This palette is an even spread, 5 colors are warm and 5 are cool. 6: This palette focuses mostly on green 7: this palette focuses more on the purple and blue side of the spectrum.
If you're finding you're struggling well with green transitioning to blue and purple, then you can just have some more greens to make it feel smoother.
When manipulating all three sliders, you can make rainbows that are entirely tinted to a certain hue. This can get you really cohesive palettes.
8: tinted yellow 9: tinted blue/green 10: tinted pink/purple
When your palette is like this, you'll find that putting in a contrasting color will pop significantly more.
(These contrasting colors are pulled from the original fully saturated rainbow that I put together, #1. Notice how different the colors look here than they did in their original palette!)
You can use this effect as you please or avoid it as much as you like!
As always with art more information is key to making your decisions.
Exercises I suggest to understand color theory better:
Making pieces without using specific colors (try to make something look "Green" without using green)
Make a cool toned rainbow and a warm toned rainbow (every color has a cool and a warm variant) and draw something with each of them (one drawing cool, the same drawing warm)
Use red for shadows and green for light, and then draw the same thing with green for shadows and red for light (or any 2 opposite colors
Copy art and photography that has colors you like, but DON'T color pick until you're done to see how close you were (don't post pieces where you copied someone else's work without explicitly saying you did so, it's for study)
Paint from life
Take some colored pieces of paper and shine lights on them and watch how the light reflects off of the paper onto different objects
Here's some studies I did for one of my classes in school. They're old, I can't paint traditionally anymore without pain. But what I learned was still important whether or not the art is old!
I also suggest keeping these timed, All of these were under 1 hour (traditional) or under a half hour (digital). The more practice you get, the better!
And, if you can practice in different media (I understand it can be expensive, take up a lot of space, or even be painful), I personally find that each media has different pros and cons and forcing yourself to work within the limitations of a particular medium will teach you a lot!

🚨 June 6th 2024: USA COVID Alert 🚨
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/dd279689eebc851d55328c8a695cd767/4bfb10e26dd253d5-e3/s540x810/c6428ec36b5e4dcb158b25f60b37b49d23cf465f.jpg)
SARS-CoV-2 rates are rising across the USA, especially in the West - mask up to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Remember, the US government is now actively hiding COVID data across Turtle Island, hospitals are rarely testing or masking, and death certificates do NOT list COVID-related complications like heart attacks and strokes. That means we have to rely on public wastewater data (measuring viruses in sewer water), and even that's being suppressed, and everything's on a 2 week delay. So when the numbers we CAN see go up (like the current official 430,000 infections per day), that's just the tip of the iceberg...Right now wastewater numbers are about TWICE AS HIGH AS THEY WERE LAST JUNE, before the US declared the pandemic over.
These graphs are from wastewaterscan.org and Iowacovid19tracker.org. They collect a lot of local and national data too - look up your own area!
SARS-COV-2 aerosols hang in the air like smoke, and can infect you hours after the contagious person's gone. Keep yourself safe by wearing a well-fitting respirator mask (like N95s or KN95s) whenever you're in CROWDED and COVERED areas, and when CLOSE to people (that includes outside pride events, protest rallies, backyard cookouts, etc). Whenever possible, keep indoors air moving by opening windows, and improve air quality with HEPA air filters (ex. DIY Corsi-Rosenthal box fans).
If you're sick: https://tinyurl.com/currentlysick
Mask database: https://tinyurl.com/maskdb
Air filtration resources: https://cleanaircrew.org/
How To Talk To Your Loved Ones About COVID: COVID.tips
You do NOT want to get COVID-19 if you can avoid it - the initial infection can be nasty, and the long-term effects brutally disabling. Wearing a mask is the quickest and easiest way to break the chain of transmission, and to stand in solidarity with marginalized people fighting to survive across the globe.
Spread the word and take care of each other out there!
[ID 1: Screenshot of IowaCovid19Tracker on June 7th, showing a map of SARS-CoV-2 viral activity in the USA for the last week of May 2024. Hawai'i is blue with the highest "Excessive cases", followed by Wyoming and Utah (red, "Substantial"). New Mexico, Nevada, Florida, Arkansas, Montana, Missouri, Maryland, California, Washington, and Texas are all orange, meaning "Moderate" cases. Most of the Northeast and Alaska are yellow, or "Low", with the remaining states green, or "Minimal." ID 2: Screenshot of WasteWaterScan.org tracker showing data for all sites averaged together as a single line graph. The line starts at late March 2024 to early June, at around 275 parts per million (SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acids found in wastewater samples). It slowly decreases to about 125 per mill by April 21st, then slopes upward jaggedly until it spikes to around 375 at the end of May. ID 3: A screenshot of the WasteWaterScan.org tracker showing data for all sites stacked on top of each other in a line graph, with the lower end of the spectrum having so many blue lines so as to appear almost as a solid color. The graph shows late April to early June, and has the most lines around 200 parts per million, but a good handful of lines extend up to 2400 parts per million. Below the line chart, a historical chart shows a longer view, with peaks in the winter of 2023 and 2024. Looking at the last month or two on that scale, there appears to be an uptick starting in mid May that is about twice as high as the same time in 2023.

The "requests are paused until I'm done with the current ones" thing was wishful thinking (a bit like the closing statements in my last yt video 🤓) and I am once again thoroughly overwhelmed with everything.
Requests are firmly closed until further notice. I said yes to the FtM hairs for anon and the Tiggerypum tunics & iamliz13 alpha dresses for children & toddlers for the other anon (I did get the links you sent to the meshes), so I still intend to complete both.
A novel's worth of life updates under the cut (content warning for struggle with bipolar type 2, including questionable choices which should not be taken as advice).
Well over a year ago I shared that my mother was going through a really bad bipolar type 2 depression episode (looking back, mention of it in that post was very euphemistic, I must have been hopeful). The reason why I didn't give any updates after a while is that there is no satisfactory narrative that I could easily spin into words. She's not all better, she hasn't died or lost her mind for good, things have just been evolving at a snail's pace through a whole spectrum of very bleak colors. She's not fully hospitalized anymore, she lives at home with my brother and me, with day hospitalisation activities several times a week. The myriad psychiatrists that she's seen have not been able to find the "right" treatment for her, but hey, after lithium sent her into such a state of confusion that we thought she might stay mentally disabled for the rest of her life, at least now we know that's not an option. A couple days ago her psychiatrist prescribed a new antipsychotic to replace the one she'd been taking. She started the transition, and today confusion started showing its terrifying face again so she's not taking that pill tonight, or to be honest ever again unless her psychiatrist somehow manages to convince us otherwise (she'll report her symptoms and get counsel at the hospital tomorrow). Her cognition is already impaired, her short-term memory and ability to focus especially. She can't live alone, I keep and manage her pillboxes, make sure she's eating right and the stove is off, that sort of stuff. But at least, until the introduction of this new drug, she'd made considerable gains compared to when she was at her worst last winter. No way we're going back to that again.
On a more positive note, about a month and a half ago I started work at a grocery delivery place just up the street (yes that's what I'm doing with my degree in Mandarin and my master's in English-French translation studies). It's intense physically, kinda stressful, and not very well paid, but I think I like it and the people are very nice. What scares me is that my trial period ends in about 2 weeks and I'm not entirely sure that they'll want to keep me, considering I've made several mistakes and they don't seem to think that I work quite fast enough (I know I said the people were very nice, they are, that's just the job). They keep saying the work load is gonna get crazier starting in September. The way they're saying it may suggest that they do envision me as still working there in September, but maybe they're trying to push me to work faster now and if I can't prove that I'm able to they won't keep me? Well I'm already doing my best, even if sometimes I end up finding myself crying over clients' items because my brain isn't able to focus anymore and I'm messing up and wasting time.
Emotional control has been harder because I unilaterally made the decision to taper off my antidepressant. Now before you facepalm, let me flood you with all of my best questionable arguments: • I do have an appointment with my psychiatrist, the earliest date I could get was October 1st (and I may have to postpone, depending on my work hours that day which I don't know yet). • I was already on the lowest dose that you can be on. • I tapered off very slowly. • I recently talked about it with the nurse that I saw for the mandatory medical visit I had to go to because I got the new job (idk if you have that outside of France). Naturally she was alarmed that I'd been weaning myself off on my own and she convinced me to see my GP asap and not change my medication without at least his input (which yes, I know). • the reasons I did it despite knowing that it's inadvisable are: 1) obviously I haven't been feeling depressed for a while or I wouldn't have done it, 2) the amount of endorphin-producing physical exercise I get from the new job felt like it could maybe do the trick so it was worth a try, 3) seeing how much my mom's medication has messed up her cognition over the years is scary. She's been taking way higher doses of antidepressants than me, along with other stuff, over a way longer period of time, but still. I don't want to be on it if it's not strictly necessary, so I wanted to try off. • I'm still taking my antipsychotic religiously and have no intention to stop that (I can't anyway or I won't be able to sleep and I'll definitely lose the job).
My plan with the antidepressant was to space out the doses and eventually get off it entirely for several weeks before reassessing, but after seeing that nurse, I started upping again to one dose every other day. I will admit, I was having suicidal thoughts after several days off, and now it's gone. Maybe I should find having suicidal thoughts more alarming than I do, the nurse's phrasing when she asked if I did - something that could translate to "no suicidals thoughts, riiight?" - was a good reminder that suicidal thoughts are really bad to have oh no. Of course I said no, why would I want her to interfere (leave me to make decisions for my own self thank you). Anyway, the appointment with my GP is in two days. He's gonna be useless on psych stuff but I guess getting his unqualified, predictable input is the responsible thing to do in polite society. More relevantly, the nurse also told me to go see him because my blood pressure is a bit low, or at least it was at 9/6 when she saw me, so I need to have it retaken and see what's up with that if anything.
And so yes, I have a ton of CC plans as always, I am positively drowning. Beside the two requests I mentioned above the cut, one of which I need to do a lot of learning for, I picked up work on Celestialspritz's beta Vincent skins and started converting afbodykimono for the usual roaster of breasted body shapes, like I did with afbodyqipao here and would like to do with more Happy Holiday Stuff outfits in the future. Although I told myself that I would stick to the body shapes that I've already done stuff for, I now also want to make a set of clothes for Lady Apple. I also have an idea about a set of scrawny body shapes for TU-EU inspired by Mrs Crumplebottom's body shape. I know Melodie9's slim family exists but to be honest those shapes creep me out and I want to see if I can do something less uncanny (it may end up looking too similar to the Androgyny body shapes, or to Faerie Gal, or it may not pan out at all, so don't hold your breath). I also want to do a ton of hairs in FakeBlood's palette + Naberius (tbh I'm still not 100% sure if I like Timebomb or Naberius more for my aliens, I need to figure that out once and for all). And of course I want to do more FtM & MtF hair conversions once I know how to do it well enough. There's a billion smaller projects I'd like to insert in between those, outfit conversions for one or a couple body shapes, repurposing of older meshes, a set of nude "outfits" for all the body shapes I do, etc.

hello momiji, i wanted some tips for problems i have recently with editing, because i love your edits and page. always feel free to ignore this.
the first problem i have is looking for rsrcs . even if i scroll up and down on tumblr i save everything i need it just never comes to use.
second is i never know what desgn i should do. like i spend hours just for a blank, disgusting blog banner of some character with greens and whites.
third is colors. i know abt color theory and the wheels, but everytime i get a palette, i stray too far away from it but when i stick to it, the colors look forced.
i use ibispaint x, what i do usually when i edit is getting the outline, putting the character then editing in the resources. ty and bye
Ah .. it saddens me to witness my dearest anon insulting themselves - Please, do not doubt yourself. There will come paths of many cruel nights and storms, we shall prevail no matter the circumstances, and though it is rough: know that I'll always do best to encourage and assist.
The answers anticipates for your arrivals ー undercut。
1. Resources
Resources, you say?.. I suppose it's not much to say, however - I would usually work with what I have. I tend to stray away from PNGs that won't fit with the theme of the character/aesthetic, yet that does not conclude I will not make use or try them out. More importantly is to make use of what you have right now - always begin on with your ideas - write them up: which one fancy your eyes the most? The PNGs I pick out are somewhat a vector style - of course this will mostly depends on your style and what you desire to execute on. Reminder that good ideas are not valued until they're executed - execution is always crucial.
2. Ideas
If you are confused or puzzled on what to do, how about we sit back and gain some inspiration? One advice to gain inspiration is not only from other people, ideas .. are like a gift. Everyone can have the same ideas and some will execute it first yet that doesn't mean you should give up. For me - where I usually get ideas is around 4-6 AM early in the morning. It is important to first get yourself energized, perhaps start taking deep breathes? Or do some work .. anything challenging to get a dose of serotonin and yes - it sounds like a rather hassle but that's really how I gained my ideas, through serotonin. Alternatively - you can freestyle, I would have an idea at hand but work on it differently if I find something interesting.
3. Colours
To be frank .. I've not recollected much regarding colour theory - how I work on it is very intuitive. Not sure if I explained this well, however; with colour palettes, do not be afraid to change a few things - how I personally would make them is something like this;
As you can see - the lighter side is not too bright, the darker side is not too dark. Red and pink distance is not very far in the distance, however - red is a more intense colour compared to pink, which is why pink would generally be nearest to the white side. I try to give my works a bit more depth by adding at least 2 different colours the minimum - for instance;
Here you can see that there are different shades of colours. The darker side is mostly leaning over to dark green, with the colour blue slightly green-ish. And a lighter geen, and so on - Of course, this just gives off the green sea theme, doesn't it? So let's experiment with other colours .. instead of blue, let's try something of brown.
The green colours are still the same but the blue colours are switched out. Yet the theme resembles something .. chocolate mint ice cream - perhaps? I'm getting quite hungry, actually. On the lighter side, there is a somewhat gold-ish light colour, and on the darker side where instead of blue - it's brown. Brown is on the orange spectrum, orange is the furthest away from green. ( And Of course, some adjustments are made - like moving the distance between the colours on the gradient map there. ) By drastically changing the distance of colours, there will be a hugely different result. The first one is more colder, the second one is more warmer.
I use photopea so I apologize if this may not be of help to you as an IbisPaint user .. Outlines/Strokes are certainly important for some spots - for me, I would begin on with media of the character. And create the gradient map, if some images doesn't please to my eyes - where one is lighter or stands out way more than intended, or doesn't suit - then I will make changes through colour overlay, this is very optional though. Something I find useful is the gradient in the strokes colour option in Photopea, I can't quite remember whether IbisPaint has it or not, but I'm sure it can work out .. It's difficult to describe as I can't exactly pay attention to what I'm doing during a focused flow of work. Moreover, do not be discouraged so easily - it is always better to acknowledge your own work. Do not be worried about whether it would be "good enough", instead, wonder on about whether you've spent your time well, did you feel satisfied? Did you enjoyed it? If you doubt so, then that is something to learn. May this advice be of benefit and reassurance to you during your journey of editing ♡ I apologize if this was way too lengthy or not of help, please take care - the soul adores you. /p

Headcanons for Butters?
got asked for butters twice so giving him priority >:3
tw: abuse
this is canon: his parents fucking suck
and they progressively get worse as he grows up
at 11-12 starts trying to revel
small things only, like wearing small stuff he likes or hanging out with his friends for longer than what he's allowed to
he slowly changes his style to goth (~13yo)
and the goths adopt him, for a period of a few months in which he becomes real hardcore
but he grows tired of being sad all the time
then his style evolves into something closer to punk? he's not trying to fit into any aesthetic tho, just what's more comfortable/cooler (~14yo)
like, still dark and all but doesn't mind adding extra colors :)
back to his parents, this causes a shit ton of trouble with them
they beat him up and grounded him one day when he returned home at 2am reeking cigarrete (he was hanging out with the goth kids)
(that happened more often but this time his parents were even angrier than usual) (also he was 13 idk if yall got it but anyway)
then they locked him up in his room, as in literally locked him up
he stayed there sobbing for a couple hours but then he got fed up
he climbed out his window and ran to kenny's house
cuz he was panicking and had no idea of who else he could turn to
he told kenny what happened and so kenny let butters stay at his for as long as he wanted
since then butters almost doesn't spend any time at his parents' house
instead he sleeps at a friend's, mostly kenny, stan, and craig
jimmy and kyle would offer too but their parents wouldn't approve and/or would tell the stotchs
at 14 he got his ears pierced by kenny
they looked fucking awesome (slay)
obviously leaving home caused him sm mental issues
he has breakdowns real often, his friends have grown used to help him out with these
he can't stand loud noises for the life of him
has autism (diagnosed), C-PTSD and bipolar-2 (undiagnosed)
his hair is always dyed funky bright colors ✨
his favs are magenta and purple
he even convinced kenny to let him dye highlights on his own :)
he also wears silly little trinkets everywhere
he has big black boots (with huge platforms slay) and they're full of stickers and tiny charms
and he loves wearing fishnets :)
he wears eyeliner all the time! he makes it look so pretty istg
he has the scar from the shuriken incident + is basically blind on that eye, but he doesn't mind it anymore
he has a great relationship with all the boys at school!
besides cartman, butters learnt what he did to him and so now he hates him
he's tryna fix what he did to girls too, his relationship with them is slowly improving
him and heidi rant about cartman's bs to each other quite often
they're sorta besties
butter's best friend is definitely kenny but heidi is the one he's closest to at least out of the girls
at school he's mid at everything
he enjoys more artsy classes because they're more fun tho :)
he likes painting and writing
he's been questioning his gender for a while, currently he goes by all pronouns to try them out (I'm only using he/him here to not make it confusing TwT)
he's pansexual :3
and possibly asexual? or some kid of ace-spec probably
he still goes out as chaos from time to time
kenny, clyde and him are actually the only ones who still go out as their supersonas
he and kenny bond with craig over their shared autism :3
it's a huge spectrum and they're each at one completely different point of it, but they still relate to each other and they like that :D
he does know how to swear, but he doesn't do it
besides on special occassions :)
whenever he swears everyone around him is so shocked
"wHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN CURSE"
butters loves this XD
i think that's it! not counting his parents he's having a great time :)

🌈 Color Spectrum Legacy Challenge
Each generation is defined by a color from the spectrum, and this color influences their lifestyle, personality, passions, career goals, relationships, and even home decor. Sims must incorporate their color into their clothing, hair, home, and/or objects while achieving goals that align with the meaning of their color.
The challenge spans 10 generations, each embodying a different color with unique characteristics and missions.
General Rules:
Each generation has its own dominant color that influences all aspects of their life: appearance, relationships, passions, and life choices.
Sims must complete specific career and skill objectives related to their color before moving on to the next generation.
The heir Sim must retain a major element from the previous generation in their life (a skill, object, or trait).
The house must evolve over generations, adding decorative elements or rooms that reflect each generation's color.
Children born in each generation must have at least one clothing item or hairstyle reflecting their parent's color until they become adults.
Generation 1 – Red 🔥
Color: Red (Passion, Energy, Ambition)
Story:
The founder of this lineage comes from a modest background but possesses an unquenchable inner flame. Their life is marked by a quest for success, competition, and strong emotions.

Career: A competitive career such as business, sports, or politics is the primary goal.
Objectives: Marry out of intense passion after a tumultuous relationship. The house must be decorated in shades of red, symbolizing power and energy.
Generation 2 – Orange 🍊
Color: Orange (Creativity, Warmth, Adventure)
Story:
The child of the founder feels the need to distance themselves from their parent's relentless ambitions. Growing up, they discover a passion for art and personal expression. More interested in travel, adventure, and creativity than competition, this generation explores the world to find inspiration in all things vibrant and colorful.
Career: Artist, musician, photographer, or a creative soul.
Objectives: Travel often and organize artistic events. The house should be a vibrant mix of creativity, featuring orange elements.

Generation 4 – Green 🌿
Color: Green (Nature, Stability, Serenity)

The child of the previous generation is deeply connected to nature. Tired of modern urban life, they seek to escape screens and gadgets to return to their roots. Cultivating the land, raising animals, and living in harmony with the environment becomes their way of life.
Career: Gardener, eco-activist, or farmer.
Objectives: Create a self-sustaining garden and bond with animals. The house should be a natural refuge, filled with plants and green elements.
Generation 5 – Blue 💧
Color: Blue (Wisdom, Sadness, Tranquility)
Story:
This generation is marked by deep introspection and heightened sensitivity. Very introverted, they find peace in solitude and contemplation.

Objectives: Reach the peak of a mystical career and build a secret room dedicated to spiritual practices. The house must be adorned with mystical and purple objects, such as candles and crystals.
Generation 7 – Black ⚫

GameGirl28 ~ Alone in the dark: The new nightmare
Check out that dramatic box art! It evokes such deep mystery and fear of the hazy unknown... that you truly cannot believe that a game on the GameBoy is capable of delivering on this promise. Were you right?!
~Well, were ya?!~
Yes. Allow me to explain.
The basic premise of this game is a fixed-camera survival horror a la classic Resident evil, focusing on ammo and health management, pursuing the killer of your best friend, and searching the reclusive Shadow Island environments for clues. Of course, the mission convolutes when you discover supernatural, undead forces riddle the places that you traverse—forests and ruins and laboratories that you investigate to eventually catch the true culprit. Sounds like a fairly promising story. The problem is... well... this game is on the GameBoy. You can imagine that dynamic interactions with the environment, combat with monsters, and a strong horror atmosphere would pose quite a challenge to a developer on a dot matrix screen the size of your watch.
I am disappointed to report that THQ Nordic did not quite live up to the challenge. When you encounter a zombie or a spider or, actually, ANY kind of enemy, you are transported to the exact same top-down combat screen. Here, you are expected to maneuver your heroic Carnby to spam the shoot button; and when five shots somehow isn't enough, he turns around so sluggishly that you end up taking damage from the back. There are three different weapons to choose from... they each have different ammo and deal slightly different damage, but otherwise there is no difference in fire rate or effectiveness. So the resource management is a bit superficial, too. The combat feels so much like a cheesy arcade game with no suspense or horror at all that I dreaded every single encounter... not the good kind of dread, in this case. -.-
This is a shame because, to be honest, there was one aspect of the game that impressed me and I continuously looked forward to (and was probably the only thing keeping me going through this three-hour excursion).
~The visuals~
When it was revealed that GB games were coming to NSO in that fateful Nintendo Direct, Alone in the dark immediately caught my eye as a game I wanted to play. You might argue that it was THIS GAME ALONE that motivated me to even attempt this challenge; to see what the GameBoy is truly made of.
Take a look at this.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/fd277885afdcf86d2a1b0b48851957d7/36bfc17a06cc86ba-2d/s540x810/4fe7603be525684952cdce1613a52787125c27bf.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/66f1b88399652b40f3aa416c70a59e15/36bfc17a06cc86ba-dc/s540x810/2806b49543e158d8b873a9a9a6e57d32d74456f4.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/43f19bbd5290cae4a5f9bf0479e1d621/36bfc17a06cc86ba-d7/s540x810/85f395698c7bafc63f5ed42fb11f2a29309c58ca.jpg)
THIS GAME LOOKS REALLY GOOD WTF?!???! I mean, yeah, it's a little crunchy because of the resolution. But are you seeing what I'm seeing?? Fully 3D environments to explore. Painted with the complete spectrum of the GBC color palette. Dynamic camera angles that set the mood for every scene. I caught just a glimpse of this visual style in the trailers and knew that I may have underestimated the capabilities of this console.
Of course, this excitement was quickly cut short by the sluggish controls and monotonous gameplay loop. In a way, I judged a book by its cover two times in a row. First when I thought all GameBoy games had to look ugly and primitive. Then again when I thought a good-looking game also meant a fun game to play.
~Conclusion~
By the end of the 2 hours and 37 minutes I spent on this game, I still felt somewhat enriched by the experience. The graphical feat accomplished here isn't to be disregarded; props to the developers for that. However, I also enjoyed almost none of the gameplay. It was either really boring and quiet moments of figuring out which background object to press A on to move the story forward, or these sudden combat sequences that forced me to reset over and over again as Carnby was devoured alive by beasts that his little legs couldn't outrun. The dialogue and story, by the way, were quite shallow. Dialogue in GB games show a pattern of suffering from the limitations of text legibility and memory. I hope a future GB game will prove to me one day that a competent story can actually be told on this thing.
Anyway, playing this game was maybe a half hour's worth of exploring these gorgeously creepy 3D paintings of a spooky-ooky mansion, and the rest of the time wading through overly simplistic gameplay drivel.
Recommend? No X

Even immortals have their limits
Days after waking up from recharging, an exhausted Lanayru passes out in Cordelia’s arms.
(Lanayru is ~900 years old)
Word count: 562
Over her several centuries of life in the Water Goddess’s Realm, the second Dweller has made a realization: that the balance between selfish and selfless lies on a spectrum.
On one extreme are those who only care for themselves, satisfying their own personal gains yet shutting down the calls of those in need. And on the other end…more than just the kind-hearted beings of the world, so focused on assisting others that they completely neglect their own needs, jeopardizing their physical and mental health.
Lanayru, her mother in creation, belongs to the latter group.
“Your Grace, please come inside.” She knocks on the elegant glass doors that separate her from the Goddess, out on the small terrace with blue magic swirling around her. “You’ve been at this too long, please.”
After thirty-five days of unconsciousness, Lanayru’s state is less than ideal; she is still very weak, yet none of the Dwellers could stop her from working. For hours she has stood here, using her magic, draining physical energy so the mortals regain what was lost in her absence. The job is far too tedious to complete in one day, let alone one session.
“Lanayru.”
Dweller 2 grabs on the handle and pulls the right-hand door open, snapping her fingers in an attempt to get her mother’s attention.
“You need to stop. This can wait.”
Another wisp of blue magic blows through the air, expanding into nothingness. “With this’ere power, I…I’ve’ r’stor’d your w’t’r to…to…its natural form.” The Goddess’s mumbles are slow and slurred, and the last few words seem to have taken more effort.
Cordelia knocks loudly on the glass. “Lanayru.”
“Huh?” She slowly turns around to face the Dweller. “Oh…you need som’th’n?”
Good grief. Since their morning encounter, Lanayru’s appearance has worsened even further. Dark, puffy circles are gathered under her eyes, the color in her cheeks from the day before is once again gone, her beautiful long hair is a tangled mess. Her skirts and jewelry are identical to the ones she woke up in; she hasn’t bothered to change. She barely looks at Cordelia before her eyelids droop, and slowly she pries them back open.
“That’s it, Your Grace.” Cordelia’s voice is firm and scolding. “I now forbid you from doing anything until you have gotten some rest.”
“B-but…I need to…”
“No buts, Lanayru. Look, you’re barely conscious! You can’t help anyone in this state, please…come inside. Now.”
Reluctantly, the Water Goddess obeys, taking the few steps needed to walk through the door. Cordelia slams it shut behind them. If only there were a way for her to lock it…
Why does she do this to herself?
“I’ll fetch someone to get you some water, once you’re in bed,” she explains. “And food as well. You need both to regain your strength, and-“
Lanayru’s head suddenly lolls forward, and Cordelia instinctively reaches her arms out to grab her. “Woah there, you okay?”
“….’m fine,” she mutters, although the Dweller knows it’s a lie. With a groan, she lifts her head just enough to meet her gaze with Cordelia’s. Her eyes are half-lidded, unfocused.
“You are not fine. Here, walk with me to your bed.”
“Mmmmhhh...I…I think ‘m gonna…”
Before Dweller 2 can respond, the Goddess falls limp in her arms, eyes slipping closed.
“Lanayru!!”
Only the silence of the room follows.
#the goddess lanayru#bailey writes#dweller cordelia#dweller 2#this is what happens when lanie doesn’t take care of herself :(

Get To Know My OC (Andrea time)
Thank ya to the ever cool @asterhaze for the tag (wasn't popping up for a notif but I did see my little name in your bunches of people)
I've done this for Alex and Dave (I think lol) so this time I'll be filling this one out for the lovely Andrea; second in command to Alex and honestly the one who helps keep them sane. Let's go!
Are you named after anyone?
To be perfectly honest; maybe? I don't often talk about it, but, back when I first came here, back when I had those memories still; there was just something about that name that stuck to me. I'm not sure if it was that portion of me's name, someone we liked, or like...whatever else. I still really like it, and it feels like it suits me. Though if I was looking for a change I'd probably go with something like a Rebecca or Sally. Best friends before I started working for the large and looming. Like they still are my best friends...I think? We chat every once in a while but what with work and all...I'm sorry, that wasn't part of the question!
When was the last time you cried?
Saw a really cute bunch of Dreamers hanging out on the park benches before coming here so uh...I'll let you put those pieces together.
Do you use sarcasm?
Depends on who I'm around. Most of the other co-workers are fine but uh, boss and big boss? Yeah, nah, it'd turn into one of those moments where you try and make a joke but then that other person makes it out into a whole big lecture. Alex I think would be more likely to tolerate if not understand it, I mean they've tried their hand at it before anyway. Dave on the otherhand...good luck explaining the nuance of that kind of thing to a god. I swear, you'd have a better chance trying to convince him to change the uniform mandate.
Do you have kids?
Mostly the new batch of newbies that stumble in. Unless you mean the other part of me? Then I have no freakin' idea!
What’s the first thing you notice about people?
How well they can take a little ribbing. Most people are pretty chill and even tag along. But some, hooo boy, they throw a giant fit! "Oh give it back!" this "How did you even get ahold of it?" that. Bunch of killjoys.
What’s your eye color?
So! The shade I'm going with now is like a mix of a soft lavender with an undercut of hazel! When I get bored of it I'm sure I'll change. I love lavender though! Oh my gosh it has to be one of the best colors of the visible spectrum! I haven't tried ultraviolet though...ya know what, think I got a new style to try out.
Scary Movies or Happy Endings?
Every waking moment here is a nightmare of horrors and corporate smothering...so happy endings are nice!
Any special talents?
I can throw a knife reeeeeally good. Like, really good. Care to see?
Where were you born?
Skip
What are your hobbies?
Oh man don't put me on the spot like this! Uhm...wow mind is a complete blank. I promise I'm not boring! I just...uh...well...I like to go for walks? Do crosswords? Uhm...ugh! I hate these kinds of question so skip!
Do you have any pets?
Oh my god! *she rummages around in her pocket and pulls out a heavily creased photo* This is Piere! *unfolding the photo you are greeted with the chittering maw of some kind of furry cephalopod * He is the sweetest little Mawlite! He's about three cycle old so still just a hatchling! Now despite his sweet looks he can be such a little rascal! Why recently-*for roughly the next 2-3 hours she enthusiastically goes over every small detail of her pet, the words all blurring together at some point*
What sports do you play/have played?
Uuuuhm, look I'll be honest with you. If I'm not out working I would much rather set my happy ass down on the couch and snuggle my wittle baby~ But, I was pretty okay at archery.
Favorite subject in school?
If there is anyone out there who liked anything about onboarding or those stupid preliminary classes I wou-you know what no, I know at least one person. Let me level with ya, I have forgotten most of the nitty-gritty so we'll just skip this question also.
Dream job?
Despite my bitching, I couldn't think of a better department to work in. Well...maybe the Wildlife sector but then I'd have to deal with that manager and wouldn't have as much time to be home and all that jazz. Though, I would get a sick kit. Knowing Dave though this will be going onto an official record so I'll just say I'm happy where I am.

Out of curiosity, what is your favorite Samus design? Personally I like the Dread Suit and the Fusion Zero Suit. She just looked so ethereal in that game.
The Dread suits are definitely at the top when it comes to power suit design: the color choice and the inclusion of white in all three of the base upgrade designs complemented the orange and purple of Varia/Gravity seamlessly. Smooth design: they really look like a suit of armor that acts like a second skin.
The Metroid suit was particularly creative: the carapace look was sick. Love all the little grooves, ridges, spikes, and bumps. The mottling on the shell also gives it a good visual feel, it ties the look together and gives us a pleasing variation in color so the hard shell isn't just one shade of green.
The Light and Dark suits from the Prime series were also pretty cool, though, and I really dig what the base Fusion suit brought to the table. That organic look with the gelatinous blue tissue wrapping over the altered portions? Peak concept, cool aesthetic, and a look that flowed perfectly into Dread's base powersuit design.
As for suitless designs: I really liked her characterization and sense of style in the Fusion and Zero Mission end screens.
Left: Zero Mission Normal, 100%, under 2 hours
Right: Fusion, 100%, over two hours
Her hair is really cool in the Fusion endings, and several of Zero Mission's endings give us a look into Samus wearing the outfit casually rather than just posing for an ending screen. I appreciate that.
Now I'm thinking I should probably do something like a tier list. I don't think Samus has ever had a "bad" suit design, though there are definitely some that are better than others. Like "that's an odd choice/aesthetic, but it doesn't offend my sensibilities". For instance, a lot of people hate the Watermelon suit from Fusion, but I don't find it horrifically offensive, if that makes sense? Like it's on the lower end of the spectrum, but it's not "F" tier. I don't think Samus has had an F-tier suit so far (at least one that I can remember).

Attendance prompt:
“As well as power, red has baser associations with lust and aggression.” pg. 136 This quote stood out to me as red is on two different ends of the spectrum. On one hand when we think of red we think of blood, and death. Either losing a loved one or facing your own death it is one of the hardest things humans will have to face. On the other hand red represents intimacy, and falling in love, one of the most exciting parts of life. I work in a flower shop and we sell over 500 bouquets of red roses on valentines day, however when we do funeral angaments we often create boquets with white and red flowers. Thus giving the color red two life milestones, love and death.

first of two coming your way because ofc i gotta know about both my fav thief and the giant woman
so for the sentient fashion-crime that is Val; glance, motion, formal, wardrobe, and texture? :3c
sdlfkja poor Valentine can't catch a break xD Questions are here
glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance? What's their distinguishing feature?
First impression for Valentine is probably 1) she's tall (6'2"/187cm) and 2) she's always "on". Like you know those people who always seem to have too much energy? Always thinking away at something, or working on something, etc. People making eye contact with Val always come away with the impression she's up to something (correct). More physically– she has heavy eyebrows and sorta.. deep-set eyes (think Bill Skarsgärd, although their facial shapes are different), which really fuels the intense, over-caffeinated and under-rested aura she gives off (but which is also usually correct).
motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?
Valentine has excellent kinesthetic and proprioceptive sense (aided by her network proprioception, e.g. she has implants that let her feel parts of the EM spectrum like physical sensation. Think like when you can feel currents underwater.) She will only wear clothing where she has a decent range of motion, and she has never and would never wear heels or anything with a sole too thick to run in. The way she moves is not necessary elegant or graceful, but it is precise and calculated, even when she's fidgeting. She almost always knows if someone is moving behind her, or what the flow of a crowd is like, or that if she takes two steps back without looking she can grab the screwdriver she left on her desk four hours ago... that kind of thing.
formal: What's your OC's formal look? Do they like dressing up? Do they have different looks for different occasions?
Valentine has like... 4 outfits but she buys the pieces in a few different colors so she's not too monotonous. Her standard look for work is a button down + tie, occasionally she'll add a vest. If it's more formal than that, she'll wear a suit jacket. She's pretty comfortable in standard office wear, and she does like the ritual of getting dressed for formal occasions, but she doesn't really have interest in the clothes or outfits for their own sake. Clothes are just useful for setting the mood or expectations, just like how she might greet different people with different formality.
wardrobe: How big is your character's wardrobe? Do they wear things threadbare, or can they afford new clothes often? Are they any good at mending and repairing their own clothing?
She has a pretty modest wardrobe by corpo standards, and unless she gets attached to a pair of sweatpants or shoes she's worn in, she generally rotates it as often as she can be reminded to refresh it. I imagine there's some sort of tailored bachelor service available for corpos like her who just sort of let someone else pick their wardrobe according to whatever specification. When she's living the merc life, she ends up sort of reverting to her default packrat ways, but also with cheaper clothes available to her ends up burning through stuff quickly.
texture: Does your OC favor any specific kinds of cloth or textures? Is there anything they can't wear or don't like? What sort of fabrics do they prefer?
The weight and quality of fabric is actually a lot more relevant to Valentine than most other fashion concerns. She'll pay for quality over flash whenever she can, mostly because it means she doesn't have to think about it as often. If it's breathable, flexible, comfortable, and durable than it's good, otherwise it's a stupid thing to wear. Occasionally she feels the urge to be bright or iridescent and buy something that isn't super comfortable but is flashy or colorful, but she'll abandon it the moment she gets tired of it and be satisfied. There have been nights on the town where she just sheds some bright awkward outerwear and just...leaves it wherever.
#ask meme#basically the only reason valentine ever looks halfway 'fashionable' is become someone is doing the work for her#she's very annoyed by fashion trends actually. a shirt is a shirt why did you have to change parts of it up?#despite having a naturally broody sort of expression she is also an inexhaustible font of restless energy#valentine
