Too many writers are using generative 'AI' to make their book covers, so I've written a guide on how to make your own cover for free or cheap without turning to a machine.

If you can't afford to pay an artist, you CAN make your own!

I hope this is a helpful overview that covers the basics and points to some free resources.

Bit out of nowhere from me but I hate hate HATE how nowadays comic book writers who have never touched an Iron Man comic before write him as a tech bro without any kind of class awareness

As if Tony hasn't canonically been homeless and almost died because of it

As if there weren't lots (and I mean LOTS) of Iron Man comics that are a direct critique of capitalism because no matter how intelligent and talented Tony is, he loses a lot of money because he focuses on doing the right thing and not on making the line go up

As if Iron Man didn't have lots and lots of old comics warning about climate change and global warming

And I blame 1) The Civil War comic and 2) The MCU for this

Sasuke might've been Kakashi's karma for what he did to Minato but Naruto is definitely a payback for what he did to Sakumo 😂

Good thing he can't read minds because Inner Sakura would've ended him lol

how do accent marks even work in spanish? I know they're used to indicate what syllable is stressed, but why do only some words have them?

It's actually a very simple system that unfortunately most teachers suck at explaining, even in places that speak Spanish, which results in even a lot of native Spanish speakers using them incorrectly too.

Basically, you use an accent mark to indicate when the stress in a word is anywhere other than the default position.

If a word ends in a vowel, an n, or an s, the stress goes on the second to last syllable by default.

If a word ends in any consonant other than n or s, the stress goes on the last syllable by default.

And if a word doesn't conform to these default positions, you use an accent mark to indicate where the stress goes instead.

So for example, the word capitán has an accent mark because, being a word ended in n, it would be assumed by default that it has the stress on "pi", the second to last syllable. Since this is not the case, the accent mark is used to indicate that the stress should go on the syllable "tan" instead.

This is also why words where the third to last or fourth to last syllable is stressed ALWAYS have an accent mark.

Au where instead of the trench knife to represent his Quincy heritage, ichigo gets a .500 Bushwhacker that shoots tiny but very fast Quincy arrows, I think it would fit nicely~

(Based on that tweet I saw on your blog about him wanting one, jsyk)

(If you don’t already know, this is a bushwhacker, it is the most powerful commercially available revolver.)

I love everything about this

I AM WAR — I AM LOVE AND I DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

-

LOVE IS A WOUND, LOVE IS HUNGER. THE DEEP TEACHES — TO LOVE IS TO SUFFER. TO LOVE IS TO PROVE. TO LOVE IS TO SHIELD. TO LOVE IS TO STRIKE. TO STOP IS TO FADE, TO BE FORGOTTEN. THE DEEP DOES NOT HONOR LOVE IN STILLNESS. A BLADE IS LOVE WITH PURPOSE. A WAR IS LOVE WITH MEANING. IF LOVE MUST BE VIOLENCE, THEN LET MY WAR BE ETERNAL. I WAS THE SMALLEST, THE WEAKEST. AND SO MY LOVE MUST BE VAST. AND SO I LOVE AND I LOVE AND I LOVE — AND I KILL AND I KILL AND I KILL ! I WILL LOVE WITH FIRE. I WILL LOVE WITH RUIN. I WILL LOVE UNTIL NOTHING REMAINS — NOT THE STARS, NOT THE DEEP, NOT EVEN ME. FOR I AM XIVU ARATH. AIAT I AM WAR — I AM LOVE AND I DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

Memory: Plains of Silence

MJ-2 sits by the fire in the middle of the frozen wastelands that is Europa, just listening to the world around him, the strong winds and cracks of the ice, he sits alone until

Exo Stranger: what keeps you coming back here Guardian?, there's not much of a reason for you to stick around this planet as long you do

MJ-2: it's feels..... natural

Exo stranger: natural?

MJ-2:... just feels.... peaceful....a place I can come collect myself without being disturbed or just generally...relax

Exo Stranger: but why here though?

MJ-2:... might be just something I picked up from when I first rose up

Exo Stranger: what do you mean?

MJ-2: I rose back to life into a cold, dark environment.... the same day I was brought to a place of warmth and sanctuary

Exo Stranger: and?

MJ-2: this place.... reminds of simpler times I guess... before everything changed so much even if that's a bit ironic.... considering we learned the power of stasis here

Exo Stranger: I suppose so, it is a bit ironic in that way

MJ-2: yeah....it is

Silence fills the area once again nothing but crackling of the fire, and the howling of the frosty wind, The Hunter stares into the fire, remembering his first days as a guardian, the cold he woke into and the warmth he received from the first person he was honoured to call friend.

i love osiris’s design, and i’m not talking about his armour design. well. i will be but that’s not the thing i mean. i’m talking about this one:

his face design; the man under and without the mask. destiny in general overview has a pretty strong thematic throughline of people as living legends. it’s a theme i love seeing explored through osiris in particular and one that his character design supports. with the mask and feathers on he visually conveys that this is Osiris, Phoenix of the Dark Age, Hero of Sixth Fronts, Exile and Heretic Warlock. he looks like someone important. without it he looks starkly unremarkable; a greying old man that you probably wouldn’t particularly think to look twice at.

i love that it sits in contrast to characters like eris who from the moment you see her and even whilst looking at her face plainly she will always be notably marked by her experiences—her tragic legend— and will always be physically unusual. with osiris there is a distinct disconnect in what he chooses to outwardly display, and what he is without it. it blends very well into his characterisation of seeming to always be chasing a perfected version of himself that has never and cannot ever quite truly exist. it’s good. all of this is a compliment. i love you peepaw
