NEW RP STUFF

man i haven't made one of these in ages...

@the1970sdeadgaywizard-regulus and i are throwing together...yet another marauders rp :)

Hunger games edition this time! but different than in a crivers way

the vision is just one arena plotline, andthe design is an underground cave system. and though the tributes don’t know it, they’re each put at different entrances to the tunnels and so at the start no one knows where eachother is

i have more ideas but we can figure out arena logistics when we get there

capitol (or hallow) corruption has run deep for a LONG time obvs and so some homies at the capitol want to make a scene of the games to try n get them shut down

i’m thinkin sirius, remus, dorcas, and some others are the minds behind it? but that's up to everyone ofc

they rope regulus and whoever else isn’t planning it into being their guys on the inside to hijack the arena like sunrise on the reaping style

and the idea is that they try and do that and it works and so everyone (or at least all the main marauders characters in the arena) gets to escape and so no one dies :)

unless you want your character to die for the plot ig??

and like intro posts CAN be kinda like top half capitol tribute stats or whatever and bottom half is the actual stuff the character wants to say about themself?? but up to yall ofc

ALSOOOO potential to throw in the "rosekiller hunger games au where evan is the darling of the capitol and barty goes mad in the arena" plotline but ALSO up to yall :)

ANYWAY TAKEN CHARACTERS BELOW THE CUT-

james - @moonandstarshangoutinbars

sirius - @aelia-posts

remus - @thestarsshineevenwhenhidden

lily - @alwayssirius09

regulus ( @let-blood-stain-the-stars )- @the1970sdeadgaywizard-regulus ofc

dorcas - @destroy-the-binary

pandora - @butyoureastarr

evan ( @not-their-rose ) - yours truly

barty ( @howto-die-pretty ) - @insert-pretentious-bs-here

Handy book of tips and tricks for using Krita (by a user thats used krita for a while)

HI! So i'm a krita user, and i figure since i know fellow artists that are moving to krita, i might as well make a handy guide to some of the tricks i use to snazzy up my art and basic howtos. This will be splitup into three sections: Tools, Layers, Filters. I'll also be interspersing how i used them in my art as examples!! Thisll be a two parter so hold on tight.

Shortcut keys: P = colourpick E = eraser B = brush

Tools:

Obviously try using all of the brushes and seeing which ones you like. Krita has a myriad of handy and good brushes, and you can even make your own if you feel like it. I personally like to modify the rectangle eraser to a normal brush and using it, before i modified it a little more to be my own brush.

You can change the settings of the brush youre using on any layer by clicking this little dropdown menu in the top left of your screen. That little three dot button by the left side also goes into more detail about the brushes in case you want to fine tune a brush to your liking.

Personally, these are the custom brush edits ive used to make my art just that bit crunchier. As you can see, theres a lot more options you can tick and mess around with if you feel like it too.

The pin button is the reference tool. If you copy paste an image into krita while the pin tool is selected, it will appear as its own image above all layers that can be moved around using the pin tool to use as a reference. Real handy so you dont waste layers on ref images.

Layer styles

Ok, you probably know the basics of how to change layers, (its this little dropdown menu here) but did you know that krita has a cool thing called LAYER PROPERTIES??

If you right click a layer and click this little button here..it should bring you to this handy menu with styles! These are really useful

Now, i used to usually use outer glow set to these parameters to give the illusion of lines (and this is how anime artists usually line their very delicate pieces of hair and stuff), but i found an even better way!!

Its called stroke, and you can just modify it to be as thin or thick as you like. I recently used it for these two pieces, because its more precise, and used across multiple layers makes your work look cool and like you gave a damn about lineart. This is especially helpful if youre a stubborn son of a bitch that isnt going to to take the time to line your lineless work, or if you want to line really small items like string on shoelaces and not have it look messy (just set the colour to white and draw as usual.)

Why You Should Replace the Flooring Before Selling Your Home

When you’re preparing to sell your home, every detail counts. Potential buyers notice everything, including the paint on the walls, the scent in the air, and the floors. Worn carpet, scratched hardwood, or dated tile can turn an interested buyer into a hesitant one. You should replace the flooring before selling your home so that it stands out and sells faster.

First Impressions Start on the Floor

Buyers make snap decisions based on what they see when they first walk into a home. If your floors are scratched, stained, or outdated, they may send the wrong message about how you take care of your home. It’s easy to overlook these issues as a homeowner, but they can be glaring red flags for a buyer.

Imagine you’re moving from Portland, Oregon, to Miami-Dade, Florida, or vice versa. You’ve traveled across the country, and you want your new home to look ready to move into. It’s one less thing you’ll need to fix, update, or budget for after closing.

Flooring Adds Value and Appeal

Upgraded flooring makes a space feel inviting. Neutral-toned floors in luxury vinyl or hardwood modernize your home’s look and help buyers visualize their furnishings in that space. That emotional connection could lead to fast offers and higher bids than your asking price.

Choosing durable flooring is a smart investment, particularly in kitchens and entryways. Tile is a top choice in moisture-prone spaces, offering function and style. Meanwhile, plush, clean carpeting adds a cozy touch to bedrooms.

What To Expect From Professional Flooring Services

Taking on a flooring project can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it yourself. Knowing what to expect from professional flooring services can take much of the stress out of the process.

Experienced flooring professionals will remove the existing floors and prepare the subfloor for new materials. From there, they’ll handle the installation. These teams work efficiently, minimizing disruptions to your schedule. You’ll walk away with great flooring that holds up to daily use, which is an important selling point for prospective buyers.

Finalizing Your Home

Replacing flooring might seem like a small detail, but it can shift a buyer’s perception of your home. If you’re hoping for a faster sale, higher offers, and a home that shines in listing photos and in person, this update is worth making. You should replace the flooring before selling your home because it can affect the outcome of the final sale.
