Day 3 complete! I'm trying to improve my face drawing skills by incorporating features from IRL hermits into their characters. It's not even close to perfect, but I think I'm learning a lot, and that's what matters!

[rustediris]

Second day done just in time!

[rustediris]

Trying to do Hermit-A-Day May this year. Hopefully it goes better than the last...every monthly art challenge I've tried to do

[rustediris]

Been almost two years. Reblog if you still miss Gravity Falls

[rustediris]

No wonder I couldn't find the original, I completely forgot it might have been from Multiple Bullets! (Honestly I forgot that comic even existed lol) Thanks for finding it!!!

A redraw of a favorite Trigun Maximum panels, done in acrylic. I finished it about a year ago, which means I kinda dislike it, but I thought it would be a good first piece to share. Hopefully I'll be able to post some new art soon!

(If you recognize which issue this is from, please let me know, I can't find the original)

Another Trimax redraw! This time of my favorite panel from Ch. 83. I'm fond of that chapter because the moment Livio committed to the cowboy aesthetic was the moment he became my favorite character

(please ignore the awful signature, I really need to make a proper watermark before I post anything else)

i'm just curious bc i'm watching How to Train Your Dragon and i always forget how happy and calm it makes me feel. i mean, i did name my cat after Toothless the dragon. but i also love Lion King, that's my Disney comfort movie. and my Ghibli comfort movie is Spirited Away. watching any of these when i'm in a foul mood or my anxiety is high always helps 🥰 but i watch them just for fun too, not only when i'm in a mood. what about you?

Hello! Please call me Iris. I'm a longtime lurker in fandom spaces who has finally gotten brave enough to interact. I hope to start posting art and theories soon, and would be happy to talk about any of my interests! I am still learning Tumblr etiquette, so if I'm breaking any rules, please let me know.

I'm currently interested in:

-Hermitcraft! I started watching Season 8 and have been a fan ever since. Life got busy and I missed parts of Season 9, but I'm catching up while also watching Season 10

-Transformers! I love all forms of Transformers media, but my favorites are Transformers Animated, Rescue Bots, the IDW comics, and G1!

-Team Fortress 2! I'm pretty new to the community, but I've consumed every comic, SMF, and piece of gameplay footage I can find. I haven't played the game, as multiplayer things scare me, but I hope to someday!

-Green Lantern! I've read pretty much everything written after 1990 and will happily annoy anyone with analysis and theories about my favorite lanterns!

-Trigun! Maximum is my favorite, but '98 and Stampede are also great !

-Marble Hornets! I am currently starting my yearly rewatch of the series. I have also watched a few of the Slenderverse series, but haven't finished them yet

Things that I like, but am not up-to-date on:

-TMNT! I am also new to this fandom, and have only finished ROTTMNT. Recommendations on where to start with other shows and comics would be much appreciated

-One Piece (I know most of the spoilers but haven't kept up with the manga or anime since Dressrosa...yikes)

I am also a literature major turned English major, so I might occasionally ramble about books!

Does anyone else have mixed feelings about TF2 finally getting comic #7? On one hand, I'm so happy to see these characters again and to get a conclusion to their story. I'm pretty new to this community, so this will also be my first time reacting to something new alongside other fans, which I'm really excited about! But at the same time, I'm sad it took so long. I discovered TF2 a few months before the protest started, and it was hard to see the fanbase so sad and frustrated because of valve's treatment of the game.

[rustediris]

In case anyone isn't up to date with #FixTF2 and the issues the protest is focusing on, here is a comprehensive document you can read.

It has the personal testimony of one of the bothosters' victims who was swatted, MegaScatterBomb, a guy who is working on an anticheat to use in casual mode.

The bothosters and their lackeys have committed and condoned crimes that hurt people IRL, while scamming desperate players with "bot immunity" and spamming links that they brag about containing CP. They customize their Objectors to have gore on them. They have tried to funnel the anger of the playerbase on innocent, uninvolved parties and impersonated a number of TF2 players to divert attention away from the real bothosters. Recently they tried to take down the save.tf site by unlawfully impersonating Valve in order to file a DMCA.

They are allowed to conduct this sort of behavior with no consequences while Valve is still making money off the game.

#FixTF2 is not asking for more content, they are asking for security measures. People are getting doxxed just for critiquing bothosters. TF2 isn't the only game on Steam which suffers from lack of proper regulation, either. If people are supposed to spend money on your product, this product should work properly and you shouldn't be risking your personal information just from using it!

Please sign the petition on save.tf (they are aiming for 300k signatures) and spread word of #FixTF2. As a regular player and a big fan of the game, I think this is worth trying rather than just rolling over. Valve profits from this mess, refusing to openly communicate with the playerbase, fix their game nor simply shut it down. Let them know this is unacceptable.

To keep up with the developments and to know more, a good account to follow on twitter is the guy who called the fandom to action in the first place this year, Weezy. He has a youtube too, with informative videos on the matter. Shork is likewise updating on the situation.

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

Emesis Blue Flashing Lights warning

Hi, hello, Emesis Blue dropped by Yesterday by Fortress Films. The video has flashing lights that are not labelled, so here are the times.

44:08 - 44:41 (bad flashing lights when the stretched Scout is on the screen to his death)

and also at

45:42 - 47:44 (alarm lights flashing within the respawn room. not as bad as the Scout one, but it's still a long time to have them on screen)

These are the only bad ones that stuck out to me, but if you can find anything else that may cause eyestrain or worse yet, possible seizures, please add them. Yes, this is a horror SFM, but I want people to be safe as they watch it.

Please do share and reblog this. I don't want anyone to be harmed during their viewing of this amazing piece of art, and I want everyone to have a good time.

Now remember, we must criticize constructively with Valve’s negligence on the bot crisis. 5 years of little to no effort and the bare minimum updates are not on us. That is on Valve fully. They made a game that is a PILLAR of their brand and let’s be honest here it’s breaking apart.

Save tf2 has failed before, sure we got some feedback but not what we needed. We MUST be louder, we must voice the problems FULLY. I’m not saying go on forums and talk crap with a bunch of curse words. That won’t get us anywhere. What will is expressing our experiences, not complimenting and being nice to the team. But showing the damage in full length.

The valve team is riding on the workshop creators to do work for them. That is not acceptable.

Sign the petition, tweet, stream, screencap, bang pots and pans together. I’ve seen game developers let their games crumble and I don’t want this to happen to tf2. And to those who follow this blog I don’t think you want that either.

Together we will be heard. We have to be. Do not settle for minimum effort from valve.

[rustediris]

We should be fine as long as we do not reblog bread.

[rustediris]

Do YOU have an email address? If so click this link to sign the petition to show Valve we want this game to be functional again!

If you DONT have and email address... you should make one, they are pretty handy, and its free!

here is the one without text, I'm not the best at making posters lol.
