So learning to draw digitally is coming along well, went from training with moderate tracing (first image) to being able to draw characters naturally without reference (second image).
So uh yeah, might be revamping the DP comic soon if this keeps improving at the rate I'm seeing👀👀👀
But for now, enjoy what I've been playing around with so far!
So I found a new sketch app for my phone that acts like mobile Adobe Illustrator but less messy and also free, may or may not be thinking about doing the comic on that and revising the old chapters to be slightly cleaner/better formatted (but still a lil sketchy)👀👀👀
Also here's some DP/Cursery sketches I made based on DP Tumblr buzz, RWBY, and memes plus some clean Tiktok shots I pulled to be included in a college LGBT+ Zine lol.
Hi, follow me on @booplesgear on Tiktok, I got alot of vids like this on my page related to Cursery and Dark Parables that's related to @shadowroxz13 fanfic/comic.
Young Xehanort: Well, you see, it's a gamer pad. Not many girls come in here because I get friendzoned so frequently, but that's okay.
Sora: I'd like to be in the friendzone, I like friends :)
Young Xehanort: It's not as pleasant as you might think: they don't treat you like a friend, they treat you like an item. Sometimes, I wish could be more than just an accessory to these women, but unfortunately, as a gamer I don't get respect.
Sora: Well, I'm not a gamer, so maybe they'll respect me :)
Young Xehanort: That just makes you a beta cuck.
Young Xehanort: That's the difference between you and I, Sora, I'm an alpha gamer.
[real org. xiii losing their shit]
Young Xehanort: Anyway, where we-where we droppin boys?
It's funny how people mention the "Cycle of Abuse" when abuse victims becoming villains is criticized because there is an actual cycle of abuse.
It's just not the cycle people think it is.
The Cycle of Abuse is the cycle in which an abuser snares and contains a victim. Where an incident happens, followed by insincere apologies and both sides-ing the issue and downplaying the severity, followed by forgiveness which never addresses the problem and leads to tensions building to circle back to another incident.
Abuse isn't constant. It comes in bursts. And those bursts are bookended by half-hearted apologies and promises to change followed by forgiveness. Hence the often repeated excuse "Oh she's not like that ALL the time!"
This is why message mongering about "forgiveness" and "Oh but you can't give up on family!" are so fucking dangerous bits of sanctimonious garbage to spew.
Forgiveness and "But Family" are often presented as "breaking the cycle of abuse." But they don't break the cycle of abuse. They ARE the cycle of abuse. They are how abuse goes for so fucking long. They are the reason you sit there and take it when your mother is screaming about how you're trash and will never amount to nothing. They are the reason you make excuses for your abusive girlfriend. They are the reason you sit there and do nothing when your father is belittling every single thing you do.
Because you've been gaslit and coerced into sincerely believing that the moments on downtime between outbursts mean that things aren't as bad as they seem, and that meaningless familial ties actually matter.
And people who will tell abuse victims to forgive and forget are an abuser's favourite person. They are the single most useful idiot because they are an outside perspective SIDING WITH THE ABUSER. Which is the worst thing you could possibly be. Abusers isolate their victims from friends and family specifically because they usually don't do this.
So when a cartoon tells children that they have to forgive and forget and stick by family no matter what, that isn't just perpetuating abuse or pro-abuse, it literally IS the abuse! They are taking part in it. Willingly and eagerly.
Earlier today we announced to the press that we are running a beta test program for Post+, Tumblr’s newest add-on subscription tool. Post+ is a completely optional tool that will allow creators to make some of their posts exclusive to their paid subscribers. You can read more about it right over here on our @postplus Tumblr. This feature is being tested by a small group of incredible creators on Tumblr.
We want to hear about what you like, what you love, and what concerns you. Even if it’s not very nice. Tell us. We can take it. We WANT that feedback. It helps us make Tumblr better.
What we won’t ever accept is the targeted harassment and threats these creators have endured since this afternoon. These creators are some of the most talented people around, and all they’re doing is testing out a feature. These are the people who graciously agreed to pilot a program to help us discover bugs before we open it up to all creators. These are the humans who are testing a feature that we hope will soon help thousands of Tumblr creators feel empowered, get rewarded for their efforts, and find support within their community.
Our Community Guidelines are clear: Don’t engage in targeted abuse, bullying, or harassment.
Anyone in violation of these guidelines will be dealt with swiftly and will be forced to contend with the appropriate consequences. It’s okay to tell us how you feel. It’s not okay to bully someone because you disagree with their choices.
