1. Your father argued with your mother.

2. Your mother argued with your brother

4. It was almost always cold.

5. That is all you remember.

What’s Odile’s relationship with Loop like in ur au?

Idea and designs from the wonderful @wonder-of-the-stars !!

They get a nice slow friendship as a treat ❤️

Surprisingly being not stuck talking to yourself and only yourself can help a lot

Odile figures out loops whole deal semi quickly and they have a lot of talks

Not necessarily about *the* problem but just problems

#in tales of time #something about being more open #and learning to love yourself for the sake of others... at least a tiny bit #this goes to hell act 5 #odile looping au #odile timeloop au #my art #in stars and time #isat #in stars and time fanart #isat fanart #in stars and time spoilers #isat loop #in tales of time au

jason todd is much like a typical dad in the sense he will share something extremely outrageous that had happened to him/he did out of nowhere and will never speak of it ever again no matter how many times he’s asked to elaborate.

#batman #jason todd #jason peter todd #jason wayne #jason peter todd wayne #jason todd wayne #the rest of the batfam: what do you mean you digged yourself out of your grave?#do you think they know about his birth mom selling him out to the joker?#jason todd was never the angry robin #most of the time it happens by accident but sometimes jason will say something just to stir the pot #jason todd is the biggest instigator alive and i stand by it #batfamily #batfam #batfamily shenanigans #just wait until they find out he’s dated slade wilson’s daughter because i think dck especially would be appalled by that one #dick grayson is so done #jason todd is one a one-man mission to stress everyone out #i don’t think they know about the all-caste either or about jason’s magic swords either #the rest of the batfam: what do you mean you have up your most treasured memory?#everything i learn about this man is wild #they call up zatanna or constatine for help one time and they’re like “’why don’t you ask hood for help?’ and the batfam collectively goes 🤯#jason is the main reason why bruce has so much gray hair #jason goes from being this normal kid to being super overpowered within the span of 3-5 years and i love that for him #jason is the family cryptid #jason will share something about his past thinking nothing of it while everyone who’s listening to him talk is staring at him in horror #i don’t think anyone knows that jason has gone to heaven when he died #though jason’s memory isn’t quite reliable until he’s dunked in a lazarus pit #jason todd shenanigans #jason was never the angry robin

the fact that he spends all his time grooming kids into believing they're mature enough to consent and then turns around to condescend to them about how young and stupid they are and how they actually don't understand anything makes my fucking blood boil. i need to kill him

#“i'm so much smarter than everyone else 😏” yeah dude maybe because you only surround yourself with literal children #of course he's also just wrong. he's not smarter than them. and the tower is not the highest point in the world.#and his “ideals” and “values” are not any more real than utena's.#he just doesn't have perspective enough to see that #he thinks that he knows some inherent truth about the world. that it is cruel and therefore he must be too.#and that because utena believes in something better it must mean she just doesn't understand anything at all #and yeah she doesn't understand everything. but neither does he #and at least she's self aware enough to know that she still has things to learn #revolutionary girl utena #parallels #akio #utena #m

I'm so in love with everything about your art!! I wanted to ask something about your MLP human designs in particular. all of them have really lovely and interesting face shapes/details. even though all the pony designs have the same head molds (save for eye shape), all the unique characteristics you gave them just... look RIGHT. is there a particular method or design principle you used? thanks for your time!! I can't wait to see more of your work!

It's all about shape language and how they inform a person's read on the character.

I talked about this before, but each of the Main 6 were paired together so I could design them in contrast with each other. For RD, I wanted her short hair to have a wind-swept look, as if she's constantly running. So bare forehead and hair spiking out at the bottom. She contains lots and lots of sharp lines and shapes to give her the look of a speeding arrow.

Felice, on the other hand, droops down a lot to reflect her solemn, shy disposition. I didn't want her hair to be perfectly straight though, as that'd suggest she spends a lot of time fretting over it and isn't outdoorsy, so I made it a bit of a tangled mess too.

In short, RD's features are sharp and point upwards, Felice's features are round and droop downwards. (Think Joshua tree vs. weeping willow.)

For these two, I specifically wanted to include non-Western facial features, as I found I haven't really included them in my character designs up until now.

Pinkie's bold and loud, so I gave her bold eyes, bold eyebrows, a bold nose, etc. I worked on Thea's nose for quite a bit and ended up abstracting the shape a bit to look more cartoony, borrowing from Pixar's Soul's character design notes. In cases like these, I recommend finding ways to simplify features and break them down into easily-recognizable shapes and forms (Cartoon Saloon are masters at this). The less visual noise, the easier their expressions are to read! And it's generally more fun to draw.

In short, diversify, exaggerate, and simplify. Figure out what works for you and get a little wacky with it. Character design is all about finding a balance between maintaining your voice and vision and creating something unique and lively.

#ask me #anon #long post #i would recommend studying character design sheets too #my personal favorites are by cartoon saloon/ami thompson/anything from disney and pixar #you can learn a lot about how to draw specific eye shapes and facial structures and hair styles #and how all these features squash and stretch for different emotions #ask yourself: do you know how to draw someone with a very high cheekbone? how about someone with a lot of cheek/neck fat?#then ask yourself how these differences in features reflect on the character #facial structures especially are something i see a lot of beginner artists struggle with

everyone should read some weird fucked up fic once in a while. for their health

#my horizons have been broadened #it’s just fic sometimes it is simply not that deep. go play with the dolls and make them weird #learning something is not for you is still learning something about yourself. does you no harm

A blessed Ramadan to all who are taking part ✨✨ remember to give in charity and pray for the oppressed and for forgiveness and take part in boycotting what detriments the innocent and protest injustice where you can ✨👍

#the number of Arabic and Ramadan anime memes that I have consistently been seeing may have had an effect #anyway #nearing the end of Ramadan now #in case I miss it Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating #may the rest of the month pass in ease #remember that a even little change for the better is a benefit #and it's never too late to learn more or realize you were wrong about something and improve on yourself #sayonara

can i be fr for a minute?? sending abuse to people online for holding different views than you is not activism and in fact actively hurts your cause. most people are not extreme in their viewpoints, you can give them a new perspective if you're willing to spend some time explaining shit. if someone is saying something you disagree with and you rush in there to condescend to them and call them disgusting and subhuman and dont even TRY to explain calmly why their views are harmful, they're going to shut you out instantly and double down on their views.

most people are simply genuinely ignorant to the issues they're talking about - they just pick their views up from the news and the world around them and express opinions because that's what every person does. if you run in there and tell them they're scum for it, what then? if someone does that to you, are you going to think "maybe i should do some research" or are you going to think "this person is an asshole, im blocking them." a lot of you think you're activists and then refuse to do any kind of actual WORK to support your cause.

#this is not about the isr*el thing even tho thats obviously a huge issue rn #its just a pattern ive observed online #im not saying you have to be kind to people who oppress you dont twist my words #but if youre trying to support any cause and you think calling people names is going to help #youre a fucking idiot lol #people call themelves activists and pro-X cause because they called their opposition dirty c*nts online #how the hell is that meant to help anyone? theyre just going to retreat into their propaganda chambers because you proved what the leaders #of those spaces have been telling them #you can obvs block people if you dont want to deal w them but thats a neutral action. sending abuse harms ur cause.#text #like educating ignorant people is hard work! yeah! its also the entire fucking point of activisim #and if you think its too much effort then just stop pretending you give a shit tbh #like my parents managed to change our neighbour's very xenophobic stance on migrants with a calm conversation #some people will listen and some wont and shes not exactly going out to protests for migrants rights but shes not hostile anymore #and a lot of yall think that isnt good enough but let me tell you it IS good because these things take time!#unlearning things is MUCH harder than learning them in the first place and a lot of people grew up in environments that taught them #very discriminatory and conservative views and its actually not their fault. and its hard to educate yourself differently on something you #have no idea is not true. where do you start w that?

everything she deserves 🌼

#critical role #critical role fanart #mighty nein #nott the brave #veth brenatto #thinking about how her worst nightmare was to become something she hated #not just someone cowardly who survives by bullying others #but also someone hideous #'not pretty not brave not coordinated not smart...just not'#a curse at the hands of others is injustice no doubt #but how much of her suffering came from within?#a lover's respect and approval wasn't going to mean anything if she couldn't value herself #a life built on the acceptance from others makes for shaky foundations #to lose it all is a blessing in disguise #only when there's no one left by your side who loves you can you learn how to love yourself #the bravest and beautifulest of them all #end love poem.

Something something about the alien hand call in 7x05 and Buck being the one being strangled.

Something something about Buck grappling with this new part of himself and coming out to people. Something something about the ‘fear’ of being judged or treated differently having him in a stranglehold because it’s still new to him and he doesn’t have it figured out himself yet.

Something something about being in 2 minds about telling people, about revealing himself - because the alien hand syndrome in this call occurs when the brains two lobes are separated - the connection severed - the brain is split in two

#I don’t know there’s just something about not having control over part of yourself or how people will react to it #something about buck being in two minds about telling people but also wanting to experience the freedom of discovering a new and big part of #who he is #there’s also something about learning a new way of existing #but theres also something about being in the grip of jealousy and not fully in control of your actions or behaviour because you don’t #understand what is going on #(we know this call got shifted from the last ep so the jealousy element is still kind of relevant and I also feel like jealousy is meant to #be a running them for this season)#911 spoilers #911 abc #bi buck #evan 'buck' buckley #evan buckley

i don’t think people realize how alienating and lonely it is to not have romantic interactions as a teen. Not that i think being in a relationship at that age would do me any good but it would make me feel more normal and less unlovable for sure

#but we live 😁 with the consequences 😁 like i’ve just been thinking as one does or #when i do it it’s terrible because this is something for a diary but i’m on tumblr #i know some of you might relate lmfaoo but it really fucks you up when everyone is in #relationship being a normal typical teenager and ur like so i’m so ugly undeserving of love etc etc #and also when your friends are like *can’t even imagine you with someone* okay awesome #now i’m like whatever i had fun but you do learn a lot about yourself and others in a relationship and i never had that so i feel so dumb #now at 25 likeee who has the patience now anyway. How is everyone i am gonna make some pesto for lunch #homemade pesto with sremuš spinach garlic olive oil and nuts #tt

Your life isn't a to-do list. You're allowed to exist, to take life as slow as you'd like. The dreams you have won't suddenly disappear. It's okay to stop and smell the roses, or to engage with "childish" things, or to recover, or do what you need to.

#positivity #encouraging words #life doesn't need to be a speedrun or a 100% run #sometimes it feels like i'm wasting my life but... who gets to tell me what is wasteful? i'm surviving out here and that's okay #and it's okay if you're also somebody who people think is 'wasting your life'#that's such a meaningless and frankly a very cruel thing to say to a person #because you'll see people call somebody's life wasteful because they're simply coping with disability/mental illness/grief/ect #it's a meaningless saying to tell somebody how YOU think they're wasting life. your life isn't a waste point-blank #we ought to be kinder to ourselves for choosing what we want/need out of our lives rather than placating to what is imposed on us...#...or the expectations we impose on ourselves #be kinder to yourself whenever you can. it's hard as hell but please choose kindness toward yourself #just something i thought about and felt like it was impirtant to me #i couldn't complete high school 'on time' because of covid and because i was in crisis. i felt so much shame about that. i felt stupid...#...i felt unworthy. but who decided that i am those things? the crisis i was in could have killed me. i couldn't deal with school then...#...it humbled me because i had to learn that i am not immune to needing to be kind to myself. i am human - i'm not a mindless drone...#...you aren't a mindless drone either. you are an individual. you deserve to feel safe. you deserve understanding and compassion...#...but not ONLY from others. you deserve it from yourself as well
