“Individuals expressed a desire to be allowed to go to bed when they wanted to.”

correct forms of address in nobility

movie screencaps

cinematographer. amazing set photos

more movie screencaps. cleaner site

2mil+ face database. so many search filters. good for facial features in character design

adobe suite (or individuals) in the torrenting style. I hate adobe. the site is in russian but I trust it with my life. just use chrome autotranslate. it’s torrenting, tho, so get a good torrent downloader and a vpn. I use windscribe; you get 10g/month free if you let them email you (which theyve only done like three times in 2 years), and you can get only 2 bucks/month unlimited data with their build-a-plan. not sponsored just love em

others’ masterposts

hate to use pinterest, but it has the only archive of a gigi d.g. tip and seems to source everything

pinterest rec from a pal. trust em w my life, there’s some good oneoffs and case studies

reference/stock alternatives to pinterest so you never have to go there again

found this on a years-old reddit post. art book pdfs. one-offs. sai portable. this is a

goldmine

half these links are probably broken, but every good art ref list needs a section of broken deviantart “how to draw a skirt” tutorials. this is the Contained solution

Excellent, all around! Focused on specific program tips, but has a bit of everything

if anyone has any good art reference links, feel free to drop ‘em, and i’ll update! happy drawing <3

does anyone else kind of.. enjoy spoilers ?? like they're sort of a relief because then I know whether or not something is worth investing in watching or reading or not

I'm not gonna be disappointed if it doesn't turn out how I want plus I'm not going to fast forward and skip through large parts of it to find out what happens, which I'm embarrassed that I do I just don't have the patience

Is that just a me thing or do other people do that too? Is that an adhd thing?

I just do way better watching things if I already know the entire synopsis and can predict kinda when things will happen like landmarks in a movie that help me through

Please tell me this is an actual thing and not just me

continues to be uncomfortable every time pro-shippers frame discourse as "smart and sane" people vs "crazy and delusional" people

Small Town Grocery Store Stories: LGBTQ+ friendly edition

Me: minding my own damn business in the grocery store

One of my students and a few of his teammates enter the dairy aisle. 

My student is holding hands with one of his teammates. 

My student: Oh hey, Professor X!

Me, who has both my student and his girlfriend in my class: …Hello

My student, looking at his hand-holding partner: Oh! Don’t worry. My girlfriend knows. Not that I’m cheating! I’m not cheating. I’m not gay.

Hand Holding boy: Not that being gay is a bad thing! It’s a good thing!

My student: Right! But no, listen. We aren’t together, we just hold hands in public sometimes.

Hand Holding Boy: Especially on Friday nights. And weekends. And at away games.

My student: Because sometimes people will say shit and then we can punch them! And if the fight started because someone was being homophobic, coach won’t get mad at us.

Hand Holding Boy: Always nice to punch a homophobe. And [gesturing to another boy in the group] maybe they’ll think twice about saying something to [other boy’s name] if he ever gets a boyfriend and wants to hold his hand for real. The Gay One, resigned but smiling: I’ve decided it’s sweet and not really fucking weird.
