#and then that struggle of hating them when theyre not there but then when they are there youre like 'wait its not even their fault'

i've said this to a lot of people and literally no one's ever agreed i wonder if you will... there are way bigger issues with the show obvi but one thing that really got to me when comparing asoiaf book 1 and got season 1 was that the stark kids are aged up just enough to make them far less sympathetic. [i am not saying i'd rather younger kids have acted those scenes]. arya was just old enough that she appeared very childish instead of seeming wholly a child -- jon was like a full bearded man instead of barely a teenager and his naivety/immaturity was frustrating -- etc. i just couldn't like them as much in the show their actions were still those of kids 2-4 years younger. do you get me.

no literally its true. it was one of the problems of adapting asoiaf into a tv show bc they couldn’t get child actors for roles like this but aging them up takes away from why the characters are the way they are and the struggle of their arcs. in the books a lot of their mistakes can be made sympathetic and understandable bc theyre so young. in the show they just look stupid. i think this is a big reason why people hate on sansa so much too. that and the misogyny lol

Can you please do a breakdown of how you draw hands? I can do them in some positions, but any other time draw them and I feel like I’ve forgotten how hands look.

heck yeah anon lets do this

hands to me are just 3d squares with little tubes comin out. it helps to break it down into as few simple shapes as you can. this is like base 1 for me. once you know what direction/perspective your palm is in, it helps in visualizing the perspective the fingers will be following

ok simple enough. now lets add to this a little

our palms are not just hard flat squares. they move they bend they curl. play with your hands. notice the way your palm moves when you touch your thumb to your pinky. make a fist and notice the arch in your knuckles. you can learn a lot by just examining your own body

part of me thinks of it kind of like curling a sheet of paper by its edges. try to find a way to visualize it that works for you. then you can work on making short hands for those visualizations

if you dont already draw nails on fingers i encourage you to try it. they help a Lot in visualizing form and perspective. the palm may be the anchor but the fingers are where all the action is. nails can help for quick reading of that action

hmmm i think thats all i got for now!! keep messing with your hands and try to focus on the feeling of it as well as it curls and fists and stretches. notice the way your knuckles move. the way your fingers bend. how the thumb can move independently. even the way the skin folds between your fingers. look at it from different angles and perspectives (especially perspectives where a lot of the hand is hidden behind itself)

hands are Complex. theres a lot of moving parts. when looking at your hands try not to see them AS hands and just look at them as shapes. sometimes we can get caught up in the way we know something SHOULD look that it gets in the way of drawing it the way it ACTUALLY looks (like things hidden behind perspective or positioning)

i hope this is helpful!! good luck 💕

oh so when moth flight has kittens as a medicine cat and gives them away to strangers, one of which let his own son die and considered killing babies, because she can’t deal and somehow cant ask her clanmates to help, shes noble and brave and wise and shaped things for generations to come and she gets to die peacefully with all her children being like “wow mom that was so cool of you, we’re so happy and you are so smart and epic”, but when leafpool has kittens as a medicine cat and gives them to her sister who she knows wont mistreat them, she’s treated like shit by most people around her and shes so unforgivable that her children can’t help but snark about this at her funeral and shes almost sent to cat hell. ok

“Omg Edward and Bella are so Odysseus and Penelope coded” that’s how it sounds to me each time anyone compares a mlm ship to achilles and patroklos

pixel art tile backgrounds; classic rainbows

all of these are free to use with or without credit, just please dont claim as your own 💖

all individual tiles (as well as versions to make your own!) are under the cut ↓

for the monochrome images; the grey scale is there as a guide for filling in whichever colours you want, and i figured it might be easier to tell with colours removed than with the rainbow colours ☆: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:☆

i keep having embarrassingly deeper-than-they-should feelings about caboose that im not sure what to do about, with how i feel like i relate in a pretty genuine and sweet way to him in an autistic level and i do feel like reading him that way makes real sense but im just incapable of feeling very good about it when its very very clear caboose's neurodivergent esque behavior is applied exclusively to make the butt of the joke off how stupid he is. i care about him a lot as a character but i mostly just wanna rip him off r-slur-loving rooster teeth's hands and handle him with a minimum level of respect

people who are batshit insane bipolar narcissists who happen to take an unfortunate interest in religion: yeah like I get told off by my entire family because I won't stfu about how they're all going to hell. I can't believe them. or when I tell my friend the same thing and they insult me or call me too religious like I am literally stating facts?? not my fault it's god's 🙄 can't believe they're following religion wrongly and not like My Holy Interpretation and way of practice
