characters with no moral code are a lot of fun but characters with their own specific moral code that doesn’t align with the rest of the/their world are on another level always

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Am I happy Watcher rolled back their plan and apologized? Yes. Have I still lost any desire to watch their videos? Yes. Do I think people are being too harsh towards Steven, singling him out and such? Yes. Do I think Steven and Andrew bringing back worth it in the middle of a global cost of living crisis is extremely out of touch? Yes.

All of these things can coexist. Feelings towards the situation can be complex. It happens.

What’s the general feeling around the watcher apology guys?

Tryna feel out the fandom vibe here.

[bubblesfriend]

genuinely if you like the death related mysteries/fun facts that watcher brought you, mortician Caitlin Doughty covers all sorts of death related topics like iconic corpses, FAQs regarding death/dying embalming, and more. she is incredibly respectful and knowledgeable about everything and everyone she talks about in her videos, you should check her out <3

Anyone check how Boobs69420 is taking this?

[bubblesfriend]

Remember when Ryan said a psychic told him he’d die on camera? Do y’all think it was about this?

Watcher google drive

i think the title is pretty self explanitory

Only ghost files on it atm but Mystery Files and Puppet History are next. Watcher has back pedalled on deleteing all their free content to lock it behind a pay wall but y'know what? maybe I just dont want to give them ad revenue anymore, which is evil but screw them. Also they may still back pedal on their back pedalling, which is to many pedals anyways.

seeing a few people saying "shane looks uncomfortable with this" and "this feels like stevens fault" how about we treat them all like adults. that made this decision together. and also not be lowkey racist!

[bubblesfriend]

Okay….

As a long term watcher and ghoul boy fan…

Yes this sucks…

Yes this is a *very* bad business move..

And yes it is tone deaf and out of touch with their audience and their watcher demographic.

But to dogpile into Steven and insist that he’s ‘evil and capitalistic’ is genuinely insane.

*watcher* made a business decision

Not Steven lim

Ryan and Shane were part of that decision too. So don’t only blame Steven for this.

This is waaay different to my usually posts but I think it’s important.

If you didn’t know, The prime minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak, wants to remove trans people from the 2010 equality act.

He stated in an article to the telegraph that he wants to make it clear that ‘sex means biological sex not gender’

The 2010 equality act currently protects people from discrimination regarding their sexuality, gender identity, race or religious belief.

In the aforementioned equality act, trans people are protected regardless of whether they have undergone or plan to undergo surgery, or do not plan to undergo surgery. They are also protected regardless of whether they hold the gender recognition certificate.

This act also means trans people can access single sex, health care, shelters, bathrooms and more.

According to the telegraph, Rishi Sunak wants to remove these rights.

If this was to happen, then trans men and women will not have access to their gender specific spaces such as toilets.

This is only in talks but please help anyway you can, spread the word.

It’s not fair that trans people should be ostracised from society just because the government insists on moving backwards in time.
