#it’s exercise for your brain!

[sadclowncentral]

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

hope you feel better soon!

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

absolutely sick and twisted to see a community get recommended to me for queer people to "express themselves" with ai. politicians all across the globe coordinate plots to eradicate our communities and yall want to outsource your own creative thinking to luxury software products? what the hell is wrong with you?

hii! i hope youre having a nice day, and thank you for chapter 125! i was wondering if, by any chance, you have a compilation of all the credit pages you typically put at the end of each chapter? i love reading the extra info or translation notes you sometimes put at the end and i saved a couple of my favourites that i thought were really interesting, but i never thought mangadex would get nuked </3 i was hoping to find your credit pages in the gdrive folder but i couldnt find them :( thank you!

AWWWW IM GLAD SOMEONE ENJOYS THEM 🥹🥹🥹 i do spend a good bit of effort coming up with something interesting for them

also i deleted the ones before 115 off my pc at some point to free up storage space (bc i was saving them as pngs and they were taking up 10mb each LMAO ive since switched to saving as 200kb jpegs lol)

so i had to go to manga sites to scrounge them back up LOL

anyway theyre now uploaded to the gdrive enjoy o7 (ch 90 to 125)

I'm about to ask an embarrassing art question: what's your advice for beginner artists who struggle to draw a good circle?

You don't need to draw perfect circles! I can't even draw perfect circles! My circles are shit! Look at this garbage!

But! They do what they're supposed to do :)

(and if I really need a "perfect" circle for something, I just use rulers LMAO)

But! There's still a lot of value in learning how to draw circles ✨ confidently ✨ and with ✨ gusto ✨, so let's do an ACTIVITY >:D Please feel free to follow along! All you need is a sheet of paper and a pencil, or, if you're a digital artist, a fresh canvas and a round brush!

On your clean sheet, draw circles like how you normally would. Scribble them out, don't take your time with them, just do a 1-3 pass circle, you should only be spending like a second on each one. Start with small circles, and then gradually build up to some bigger ones.

While drawing those circles, did you notice it got harder to draw them the bigger they got? Maybe it felt like they were "outgrowing" your range of motion?

Start with a new page again. But THIS time, as you scribble out the circles from smallest to largest, focus on your elbow when you draw. Pretend there's a heavy jug of milk taped to your wrist that's preventing you from moving it. Oh no, what do you do now? Keep that wrist still and move your elbow instead. This will give you a MUCH larger range of motion that will allow you to fully utilize your drawing tool without your wrist restricting your movements, which is, as you might be discovering, very helpful when you're trying to draw bigger circles.

These are exercises we would do in our life drawing classes back in college, every single day, before proceeding with our actual model studies. It seems silly and boring, but it can really help you develop confidence with your technique which is ultimately all it comes down to - it's not about perfection, it's about decision-making, and building confidence in the lines you put down, even when they're not "exact". Imperfect lines and circles are often more expressive than if they were perfect, anyways! You just need to develop the confidence in creating them <3

Best of luck anon! (•̀ᴗ•́)و

Erm hai rue… I need ur advice !

I’m an aspiring writer and I loooove writing so much. It brings me so much joy knowing that people like what I write, however my writers block has been super bad lately. To combat this, I’ve been using chatgpt for ideas. I’m not making it write a whole fanfic, but I ask it for prompts and stuff. Is that okay?? I import my fics into the bot and ask how to finish it, or like I said, ask it for prompts. I just feel bad because writing is a creative outlet for a lot of people and I feel like I’m a complete poser.

You don’t have to answer, but I’d really appreciate if you did!

generative ai in any capacity is not okay and a fanfic is never worth the damage that it causes to the environment and to your integrity as a writer

aside from the poserness, it's important to realize that writing is a skill that has to be built and in order to build it you have to take the time and dedication to practice, study, and struggle. (the struggle is the most important!!!! you can't get better if you don't work around roadblocks!!! that is law!!!!!!) (you also need to take an extra step to reevaluate your relationship with writing if you find yourself doing it for the validation of the people more than for your own enjoyment)

i am a firm believer that in order to combat writer's block, you need to do anything and everything BUT write. -> read. watch a movie/show. listen to music. play a video game. go for a walk. journal. day dream. get out of your head and draw inspiration from other forms of media/art !!

there are also many resources and blogs dedicated to writing prompts so i encourage you research a bit

@creativepromptsforwriting -> this one i scroll through whenever i feel a bit at a wall but there's fr so many!!

I’m just thinking about how Helena swims for an hour I assume every morning doing different strokes and Helena also was almost drowned by Irving. Is she choosing to swim? Or is that required by her father? Cause if she’s required to swim…..that’s a whole other level of fucked considering she’s literally been through the trauma of almost drowning. (Now this next thought this may just be because I did competitive swimming as a kid so I associate this with competitive swimming) but what struck me about her swimming is that she was swimming like how a competitive swimmer might? She was wearing a plain one piece,she was wearing a swim cap doing composed strokes, flip turns at the wall,she was being timed, pushing off the wall and streamlining, and lastly, that pool looked like a lap pool. Lap pools are used almost exclusively for exercise they’re not meant for recreation. Some even have a current that exists to make them harder to swim against. Like that was not a recreational activity that was purely for some sort of routine.

Hello!! I’m kinda late with it, but I just wanna tell you that my bestie and I are sending you the goodest vibes! ❤️❤️❤️ Cause you see, we went to see the movie on the day of the premiere and we have been shitting on it more and more mercilessly ever since, both of ours anger and grief increasing upon realizing more and more clearly just how utterly SHITE this excuse for a movie was.

And so we were both surprised at finding out just how MANY people on the internet were actually enamoured with it, and praising it like a masterpiece. It felt like being stuck in some fucking simulation, so I was like hold up, there’s this awesome person whose opinions I respect, let’s check there! (Cause my bestie is more of a casual fan, not really on the scene in Deadpool fandom.) So yeah, we went to your blog and were both delighted at your insight, reading all you’ve said about it and laughing in my bed. And as much as it still sucks to have experienced all of that, and that this crap will stay on DP’s record, it was really comforting to see someone so well-spoken feeling the same way and expressing it with eloquence, very satisfying to read. Honest to god, I felt some kind of relief upon being reassured that I’m not just a hater, it was actually ✨That Bad✨

 So thank you!! And stay strong!!

oh trust, I feel entirely similar but - I don’t feel surprised about it because it’s kind of marvel tradition at this point for a film to be nearly entirely incoherent but still a crowd pleaser - I thought we’d grown past this and that people were finally getting wise after all the lukewarm responses to recent mcu entries but I guess deadpool is just the silver bullet that can blindside anybody - I think there’s kind of an expectation attached to deadpool in that it’s Not Going To Be Good. but at least it’s going to be fun. but - you know - shrugs - I’m kind of tired about how OFTEN I’m asked by pieces of media these days to just… switch my brain off? like um? sorry if I want to use my brain? thats what its here for? I have this fucking organ in between my ears that wants to be challenged and enriched and there just isn’t enough in this world that is doing that for me. and I know I’m not going to find that in a marvel movie. but it’s just such a bummer how often people tell me to just switch off my brain and how much I want to fucking !! use my brain though !! just give me some fucking brain food or I might freaking vegetate. I’m gonna go brain dead, lads. I’m gonna go brain dead !! I can’t keep switching off my brain. she’s here to work. she wants to work !!!

Do you think Erik would be more of a vampire or a werewolf (in a AU I guess) (and also what do you think Charles would be?) I lowkey imagine Charles as little red riding hood if Erik was a werewolf.

i feel like they're both pretty vampire coded...... if we must assign them vampire or werewolf......
