#but i am always happy to hear it

[cainsnocreaturefeature]

This au helped me through a pretty shitty time of my life, I didn't use Tumblr back then so I would find images from this au and try to piece them together and had the time of my life doing it, now that I am actually able to read it makes me incredibly happy, I love the designs, the story, the concept and overall this au is amazing and it also gave me a lot of motivation with my own art, so I can't express how glad I am for this au to exist. Thank you.

[[ oh wow...

i'm really glad that this blog made such a positive impact on you, even back then! ]]

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

Bo-Katan Kryze is a remarkably strong woman for numerous reasons. She's faced an incredible amount of trauma and loss throughout her life, seen the planet she loved destroyed several times as her attempts at ruling her people came to devastating ends.

But I think, by far, the most impressive thing she's ever done is how she remained standing after Din Djarin said to her:

"What means more to me is honour. And loyalty. And character. These are the reasons I serve you, Lady Kryze... your song is not yet written, I will serve you until it is."

Then made a fist over his heart and thEN BOWED? Girl.... I would have collapsed on the spot. No amount of intergalactic smelling salts would have been able to revive me. Respect.

if the party going to a high school party is real, imagine everyone doing 7 minutes in heaven / spin the bottle and when it's will's turn to go it lands on mike. so they both go into the closet and agree not to do anything cause that would be awkward obviously! but then mike starts spewing shit about how he misses being will's best friend and how he cares so so much about him. will just stands there and stares with his lovesick expression as always, trying not to blush or smile or cry but he's failing like usual. mike notices which causes him to smile and they both look at each others lips before leaning in a tiiiny bit. but the 7 minutes end and someone (dustin or lucas.) yanks the door open before they actually kiss (interrupted kiss!!!!). dustin or lucas sees their blushes and shocked faces which is pretty amusing to them but then they just make a funny joke about something since they know mike and will didn't actually make out.... yet.

currently halfway through PARTIZAN (making my way towards palisade extremely slowly. see u guys there in a month or two) & this is to date my favourite intro Austin has done. what an great introduction to an extremely cool character

Something I think ought to be more readily-available and encouraged is simply... taking parental classes. I wish it were more common for people to realize just how hard - and important - parenting is, and indeed, that we all could use help with taking care of young folk. It's really alarming that popular opinion is still that parental classes are only for the "fuck-up" parents, or the parents who utterly failed. It should be seen as a good thing to take parental classes - especially on your own volition. It should be seen as imperative for one to take them, it should be a free, accurate, and scheduled occurrence so that people of any background are able to attend.

how did u learn to paint?? like i just cant wrap my head around it

<3 I love answering asks like this!

You will have to bare with me, I don't save many of my studies, and my files aren't that organized so I don't have as many images as I would like.

The studies I've found most helpful for myself personally with painting are various master studies. (This is also, as always, alongside study of fundamentals.) And always follow a study with self-critique (and, if you can get it, outside critique!)

"Master" in this sense means anyone who you want to learn something from.

One way you can do this is by copying an artist's work directly. This is to try and understand some of their stylistic techniques. Leyendecker, Andrew Loomis, and John Singer Sargent are personal favorites of mine! I try to keep these quick, I'm not trying to get an exact copy.

I also get a lot out of copying photos. In this case, I'm not trying to glean some technique, rather, I'm trying to interpret the photo and explore my own stylizations.

(photo credit mountain men of alaska )

I also really enjoy taking a painting or piece that already exists, and making it "mine" by putting my characters in it haha, which is sort of a combination of master studies and photo studies!

(William Bruce Ellis - Covent Garden (1930)) (Barberini Faun)

And then, in my work that's not a study at all, I'm informed by all of these!

What master studies do is help me refine my style and practice my technique, but also I'm communicating with artists of the past through my art! They're teaching me! And I have so much to learn.

And of course... most importantly... I paint.

a lot.

I don't do as much study anymore, not because I feel I've learned all I need to, but because for work I draw 50+ drawings a week. 'Drawing for work' and 'study' occupy the same space in my brain and I need some fun drawing time!

So to sum up, draw a lot, reference constantly, and copy the people you want to draw more like!

(and, of course, when doing a study off of someone else's work, always give them credit. If it's your photos there's no need.)

i think if heart was a bird he'd be a shrike

its even got the black band across its eyes.

its a passerine bird, sometimes called the "Butcher Bird" for impaling its prey on thorns and branches.

Oh! Shrikes are nice. Love those lil guys. I'm not like- any kind of bird-know it all but my Grandmother is VERY into birds and by proxy I wound up with a mild interest in em!

I think a shrike is probably a good bet.

Silly little birds aren't they?

Playing around a little with my Nomu!Aizawa... scars based on when he gets snatched, hair down to his middle-back, extra extra scruff because of an even more diminished ability to care for himself, a faded mark on his ring finger...

If you thought Aizawa couldn’t get more tired surprise! As a Nomu in my AU his main purpose is Shiggy’s alarm system (I love the head canon that Shigaraki is an Aizawa fan because he’s the kind of selfless hero he wished saved him as a child, so in this AU he gets that wish aaa). It means that even when he does get to sleep his quirk will open an eye automatically anytime something makes a noise near Shigaraki. I also kind of wanted to go with Kurogiri’s naming mechanic and give him a Nomu name that translates, so Yabureme is how he’s known!

As a long time fan of this character I love Namor with all my heart & now my dream of finally seeing him in a movie is coming true so I had to commission the very talented @ecairnsart for another beautiful Sub-Mariner portrait this time featuring Tenoch Huerta's Namor!

(I also asked Ev for some variants, one with some color in his earring/nose jewelry, and one “what if MCU Namor had gills like Comic Namor”)

[petrichormore]

unrelated but I’ve seen an increase of shippers on twitter being like ‘oh my god 4halo is finally canon I can’t wait for them to get married’ and like congratulations but. q!bbh has looked down on marriage presumably for as long as we’ve known him - he says it multiple times. He would never be happy in an actual marriage and not only that but like. Have people forgotten that the happy pills arc happened? Have people forgotten what the 4halo dynamic specifically became during that arc??

Like q!BBH hated marriage before but now he’s got a billion more reasons to avoid it. Especially with q!Forever, even if he’s no longer drugged. And q!Forever does too? Like I cannot imagine a world where one side of 4halo proposing to the other would have any effect other than sickening q!Forever and scaring q!BBH. Maybe I’m wrong but like those two are never getting married. Even if they’re mutually crushing on each other, sure whatever, they’re still never getting married. And that’s good. They should cut out the paperwork and do a highly dangerous blood ritual instead.

I don't know why, but Ryan fidgeting with his headphone cable during the new Pod Watcher ep while talking about the live shows and how people reacted to the new Ghost Files... It made me feel emotions.

Happy Year of the Dragon!!

i don't know how to be merely acquaintances when we used to be friends. or i think we used to be. i don't know how to yearn for a simple hello when you've been heaping your affection on me months ago, and i don't know how to talk to you when you won't say anything. when suddenly it's all about me. you know i have nothing to say, you know my brain is void of everything but horribleness and i cannot tell you about my day because i don't even know about my day. i cannot tell you about my day when i know you won't listen, when i know you'll apply your philosophy to my world and don't believe me when i say that everything is terrible. i don't know how to be the person you seem to think i am, or the person you want in your life. i don't know if you want anyone else in your life now that you're in love and sappy, found another recipient for your affections, leaving me empty and wounded and yearning.

you said you missed me. said it many times, while i was gone. now i'm back, have been back, and i wonder how you missed me, why you missed me, when you won't talk to me. i think you mistook missing for worrying. i think you mistook caring for a feeling of obligation. i think you like missing me more than talking to me.

and i think i can't breathe with how much that hurts
