i dont see why i cant start a trend, so here goes. lets try to build back our attention spans. lets try to focus on just one thing for as long as possible. lets not watch those "asmr for people with adhd" videos where they fuck up adhd folks even worse. lets resist the urge to reach for our phones when watching a movie. lets read the articles we reblog, even when theyre boring. i know its hard, i have adhd too, but its worth it. i also know that this hard work doesnt always seem super impressive to other people, so id love for yall to tell me in the tags or replies if youve done something, no matter how small, for your attention span. you deserve to feel like youve taken back some of what social media has ripped from you

While taking a nap today I dreamt there was a hazard sign called "never found" which was used to indicate a location where people disappeared never to be seen again

Atroxx

64.media.tumblr.com

Atroxx lives in a swamp full of boiling tar, lurking in the dark and serving as something of a dark legend to the locals. They fear her and often leave her sacrifices, believing her to be a monster or some sort of demon. She just likes getting free things out of it and sometimes toys with the minds those who wander a little too far out of the torchlight, taunting them from within the darkness. If you survive an encounter with her, she's not very eloquent, and is quite stubborn and impatient, unpredictable and almost wild in behavior. She is also, however, incredibly resourceful and clever.

Lollie Gravez

Your name is LOLLIE GRAVEZ and you use ne/nem/nir, sh3/h3r/h3rz and h3/h1m/h1z. You are a SCENE KID first and foremost, and a troll second.

You love COMICS, CARTOONS, and SHIPPING, and listen to way too much ALTERNATIVE MUSIC. You send a lot of your spare time SEWING CLOTHES, both for yourself and your PLETHORA OF PLUSH FRIENDS. You spend way too much money on VIDEO GAMES, that you never get around to playing. When you aren’t hiding in your room away from the world, you love watching shows with your friends, then making self inserts for all your friends. Your squad loves the troll anime SUGIO QUEST FOR KOKORO, despite it being outlawed for rebel imagery.

Anyway and now I want to draw Achlys

?????? Achlys

64.media.tumblr.com

19 yo Mage of Void hemoanon, Achlys is a air-headed party girl who likes to take it easy, life is definitely too short to be worried about every little thing. She's quite friendly for a troll and always knows what to say to please people. She changes quadrants pretty often.

However when SGRUB begins she seems to know just where to look to learn all the rules and easily makes herself the leader before anyone notices. Not to mention her fake lusus and dreamself that seems to be puppeted by horrorterrors…

---------------------------------------------------------------

Zapika Zapity

64.media.tumblr.com

Zapika is a self-proclaimed inventor and infamous local mad scientist. Her voice quirk is that she speaks like early season BlackButler Mei Rin. She is a Prospit dreamer, Mind-bound, iceskateKind, and psiioniic! Her design started as a joke when I randomized troll doll maker in 2020. Been my fave HS OC since! 

"Best darn inventor on this side of the space-rock, aint no-one gonna tell ya otherwise, they aint!"

Idc if Zapika is losing I cant believe she just got drawn on paper with a pencil by a person just now and I'm losing my mind

THE GREAT HOMESTUCK OC TUMBLR TUMBLR POLL!

128 Lovely little ocs, mary sues, gary stues and they-ry whos will be shoved into the proverbial grinder, vying for your wandering eye to see who the internet loves the most!!! soon, a google form will be made, there you can submit up to Two ocs, these ocs will need to be hand drawn and come up a short blurb detailing a few things about them!

the rules?

if you set out any hate towards another character or creator, you will be auto disqualified.

a.i art for a character if found will make your character considered in-eligible.

art theft will also carry the same penalty. meaning if you dont have the art, just go to farrgofiction, not that hard.

the character can be nsfw in origin but not in presentation, meaning they need to be clothed for the purpose of this contest.

Characters will be set in brackets of one v one at random.

this means that I am not setting any form of theme

im not trying to set big creators against small ones.

the Only Prize will be copy rights and the ability to show off your funny little guy!

So get hyped! the google form will be released soon and the comptition will be soon after!

Please share if you can!

One time I was working as a waiter at a burger joint where the fries were tossed in salt and coriander and as I was bringing food over to the table for these two huge beefy guys one of them asks what the green stuff is so I go "it's coriander" and his friend goes very seriously "he can't have coriander" and I'm thinking shit ok maybe he's allergic and guy 1 starts pulling up his sleeve to show me something and I'm thinking shit shit shit he's probably breaking out in hives rn and it's my fault but he just shows me his arm and he has this huge cursive font tattoo that just says "I fucking hate coriander"

Hey ya’ll!! It’s been a LONG time since I did an art giveaway for a follower milestone so I figured now would be a good time as any to do one again ^p^

Rules

*You must be following me (this blog, shima-draws) to qualify.

*Please don’t follow me just for the giveaway and then unfollow right after! I’ll be checking to see if you follow or not so don’t try to pull a fast one on me.

*Likes AND reblogs count! (Replies, however, do not.) You can reblog as many times as you’d like to up your chances of winning, but be considerate!

*Have your DMs open! If you don’t respond within 24 hours, I’ll choose somebody else as a winner.

*If you win I have the right to refuse your request if it’s something I’m not comfortable with drawing. Just a heads up, I won’t do anything NSFW or with offensive material (this also includes any ships I might be uncomfortable with).

*If you win and you want me to draw an OC or a character I have not heard of, you must be able to give me a reference. I’m not going to draw someone based off description alone :’)

*NO GIVEAWAY BLOGS ALLOWED. That should be fairly obvious lol

*I’ll be choosing the winners from a random number generator, so don’t start complaining if you don’t win. I’m not choosing the person who reblogs the most or my friends/mutuals, it’s all random so everyone gets a chance!

The prizes are listed up above, but in case it isn’t clear you can come talk to me and I’ll clarify it for you!

The deadline is June 10th, 2020! You have one month to enter!

Good luck to you all and thanks SO much for 22k, this is wild! I never thought I’d hit this milestone and I’m so grateful 💖
