just going on a theory tangent to maybe connect dots that were not connecting before (i’m being delusional bc i’m not happy w the afton family switcharoo plot lol)
i’ve been seeing comparison videos of henry in the background of the training videos to mike’s dad within his dreamscapes which would then lead to a later in the series plot twist that mike (instead of being a schmidt or afton) is an emily. in turn, that would give william the motivation to seek out and harm his family instead of just conveniently being in the woods of nebraska to take someone’s kid (bc i’m fine with killers with no motive but suddenly going from sneakily killing kids within the confines of ur pizza place to all the sudden being in nebraska doesn’t really hit for me personally) it would also then allow for charlie’s arc from the games to be explored but through garrett- he would become the puppet. i also think that the imagery of garrett peering out the back window almost parallels to the image from the minigame of charlie in the window outside the pizzeria. now this might literally be nothing (it probably is) but this is just a silly little theory stewing in my head so mike’s tie to pizzeria is even bigger then they’ve allowed it to be in the film
yesterday i spent 45 minutes of my life watching a video essay criticising the use of cheap shock values and crossing of taboos for a video game and i went from "he has a point even if he's explaining it in a really inflammatory way" to "oh umm... i can see how he thinks that way even if i don't agree" to "oh this guy's just straight up using people on tumblr as material for an audience to get mad at like other outdated people on the internet. nvm he's just an asshole"
It's hilariously therapeutic to watch Cutthroat Kitchen because a lot of the time, when a man loses, he has the funniest little reaction.
Like even if the judge was very clear and explicit about why he got voted off, he'll be like "I thought my dish was great. I shouldn't have been voted off. I deserved to win, because I'm a good chef no matter what the judge said." (When they've done things like serve uncooked meat or used a plain century egg as garnish)
Like goddamn, people are surviving just fine, without constantly being upset with themselves for small mistakes? They can even ignore huge mistakes and chose to believe they are perfect, and apparently this has been a successful survival technique for them because they're still alive.
So maybe I can forgive myself for small things. Maybe I can be nice to myself about it. Apparently I could even lie to myself about it and pretend it wasnt a big deal or wasnt my fault I'd probably be fine--so it's probably okay if I let some cereal expire, and if I can't fend off the guilt and self-loathing about it, then its a valid option to just say "well its the cereal's fault for expiring" or something silly to escape the pointless unbearable guilt.
Like I don't plan to do that for meaningful mistakes, but why not resort to Overconfident Man Confidence to dodge debilitating shame over throwing away a single paper bag that I've been reusing for months and it's finally beyond use but I feel like I'm wasting resources and should fix it? My guilt and shame aren't playing fair or logical so I am allowed to use sneaky tricks like "borrowing confidence from a man raised to believe he is never wrong" to fight back lol.
just watched khadija mbowes newest vid abt sexualisation/objectification... marked and unmarked bodies and the kneejerk dehumanisation of total strangers based on personal morals and personal preferences that have no actual real world weight... but contributing to real world harms... ough
do you have any tips on drawing and stuff? im currently doing anatomy studies and such, but i was wondering if there were any specific tips that would help? if you're willing to share that is, lol
This got p long lol
Anatomy studies r defo my #1 for learning how the body works/looks but I recommend not looking at just pictures! Look up videos of athletes (just bc their muscle structure tends to show more) in motion like runners, swimmers, boxers, yoga instructors etc. if you want references of larger physiques and how fat sits on the body I usually look up specific terms/sports like heavyweight deadlifters or boxers
There’s a lot of videos u can find on YouTube but I personally have lots of favs from TikTok of athletes who film themselves working out and sometimes just their bodies (thirst traps lol)
I think it helps bc u actually see the muscles in motion and usually watching videos will give u a better sense of how far a certain set of muscles can stretch and contract
It also helps if ur trying to draw the body from a certain angle or doing a certain motion but u don’t know how it looks bc depending on how specific ur pose is it can get really hard looking for ref pics sometimes
If ur going for a certain artstyle and want to improve ur anatomy but in a simplified/not so realistic way I also recomend looking up artists who emulate that level of realism in their art! One of my favs that I constantly look up to is noahdeaart on insta they do semi realism INCREDIBLY well and I’m a huge fan of their coloring style that looks great with the level of realism they draw
Looking at how other artists simplify very complex angles and sections of the human body is another reason to have a couple to follow and study
Also try not to just draw people staring straight on or in v static poses like in a textbook, you’ll learn more if you attempt drawing bodies in motion and in odd poses!
does anyone else know what to do when theyre like 50-60% sure that the kid from the "story of undertale- me lip syncing" house fire video was their childhood best friend
i don’t know what the fuck is going on or why its happening to me but every SINGLE day since saturday something has come up related to [data expunged]. and it is genuinely making me crazy. idk if the universe is trying to show me a sign or plunge me into misery but i would like everyone and everything everywhere to shut up about [data expunged] effective immediately because it has made things very uncomfortable very fast and i am NOT having a good time
