sorry that i'm promiscuous and also have a social anxiety

Saw another poll that asked what your natural hair color was with half the choices being shades of blonde and that just won't do. Let's go about this the professional way (this does not describe tone but tones are based off this level system). Some natural levels fall in between these, as human variation will do, but go with what you believe is closest.

Feel free to describe your tone in the tags!

*some level systems include levels 11 and 12 but these are strictly to describe shades lightened above a level 10 and are not considered on the naturally occurring spectrum for hair aside from going lighter with age

I don’t know if I’m late to the party here noticing this, but @staff what the actual hell is this. This is what I get when I click on the link to my own mantis shrimp post, shared on Twitter. I can see the first half, and then I get forced to log-in to keep reading.

I write a free blog on your free platform, and you’re using link sharing on mobile to try to force people to sign up? Not only is this absolutely not okay - this isn’t a paywalled site and my content isn’t subscription only - but it really fucks me over as a science communicator who relies on posts being shared easily to disseminate information.

This is absolutely not okay. I’ve used this site for eight years to do for science outreach and loved it. This choice leaves a really nasty taste in my mouth.

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!” 

You know, when Tommy's video marrying Tubbo came out I remember someone saying that the fact that they said their vows out loud in front of someone who could legally officiate marriages would already make them legally married in some places, but learning they actually signed the paperwork so they are actually, honest to god, legally married because of a fucking video is something else

im sorry but you literally cant win. a fat woman in jeans and t shirt is a slob, a fat woman in a dress and make up is a pig in pearls, a fat masc woman is disgusting, a fat femme woman is delusional.

a fat man in jeans and t shirt is a laughing stock. a fat beardless man is gross, a fat bearded man is a neckbeard right winger piece of shit. a fat man in a suit is a sausage spilling out of its casing, a fat femme man is a predator. so is a fat masc man.

god forbid if theyre queer.

god forbid if theyre TRANS.

its always trying too hard or not trying enough and even then any trying is pointless bc OBVIOUSLY all fat people are gross and sick and dying. obviously they all stuff their mouths. hey did you see supersize vs superskinny. fucking hilarious. put lipstick on a pig and its still a pig lol.

fuck you. this kills people.

they want to talk about mental illness and acceptance and how everyone is a little ocd it's cute and quirky and their "intrusive thoughts" are about cutting their hair off and you say yours are about taking a razorblade to your eye and they say ew can you not and everyone is a little adhd sometimes! except if you're late it's a personality flaw and it's because you are careless and cruel (and someone else with adhd mentions they can be on time, so why can't you?) and it's not an eating disorder if it's girl dinner! it's not mania if it's girl math! what do you mean you blew all of your savings on nonrefundable plane tickets for a plane you didn't even end up taking. what do you mean that you are afraid of eating. get over it. they roll their little lips up into a sneer. can you not, like, trauma dump?

they love it on them they like to wear pieces of your suffering like jewels so that it hangs off their tongue in rapiers. they are allowed to arm-chair diagnose and cherrypick their poisons but you can't ever miss too many showers because that's, like, "fuckken gross?" so anyone mean is a narcissist. so anyone with visual tics is clearly faking it and is so cringe. but they get to scream and hit customer service employees because well, i got overwhelmed.

you keep seeing these posts about how people pleasers are "inherently manipulative" and how it's totally unfair behavior. but you are a people pleaser, you have an ingrained fawn response. in the comments, you have typed and deleted the words just because it is technically true does not make it an empathetic or kind reading of the reaction about one million times. it is technically accurate, after all. you think of catholic guilt, how sometimes you feel bad when doing a good deed because the sense of pride you get from acting kind - that pride is a sin. the word "manipulation" is not without bias or stigma attached to it. many people with the fawn response are direct victims of someone who was malignantly manipulative. calling the victims manipulative too is an unfair and unkind reading of the situation. it would be better and more empathetic to say it is safety-seeking or connection-seeking behavior. yes, it can be toxic. no, in general it is not intended to be toxic. there is no reason to make mentally ill people feel worse for what we undergo.

you type why is everyone so quick to turn on someone showing clear signs of trauma but you already know the fucking answer, so what's the point of bothering. you kind of hate those this is what anxiety looks like! infographics because at this point you're so good at white-knuckling through a severe panic attack that people just think you're stoic. even people who know the situation sometimes comment you just don't seem depressed. and you're not a 9 year old white kid so there's no way you're on the spectrum, you're not obsessed with trains and you were never a good mathematician. okay then.

mental illness is trending. in 2012 tumblr said don't romanticize our symptoms but to be fair tiktok didn't exist yet. there's these series of videos where someone pretends to be "the most boring person on earth" and is just being a normal fucking person, which makes your skin crawl, because that probably means you are boring. your friend reads aloud a profile from tinder - no depressed bitches i fucking hate that mental illness crap. your father says that medication never actually works.

you still haven't told your grandmother that you're in therapy. despite everything (and the fact it's helping): you just don't want her to see you differently.

hurt my heart why dontcha.

do any other artists feel like. yeah you're a 'good artist' because you draw things that look nice, but like. TECHNICALLY? you're really not great

i really hate that i can recognise that yes, my art is good, but is it VARIED? is it dynamic?? is my anatomy good? is it full of texture and colour theory? do i know how to do This? can i do That? no, not really. and that's quite painful actually

Posting a sneak-peak of this now because I'm about to be In The Shit school workload-wise, so this'll take me a while to finish.

Doing some character design exploration/expression sheets for Celestia and Luna. Figuring out Celestia's weird ass anatomy while I'm at it.

i.p.

She sees him approaching, he's wearing a black leather jacket, his energy glowing like the golden hour of the sun. She quickly looks away, doesn't know what to do. A few moments later, she looks at him when they're inside, they both say 'Hi' to each other, but then she looks away again, he's talking to another girl and doesn't seem to be too interested in saying more than 'Hi.' When they're inside the cinema hall, she sits in the last row looking down. He stands infront of the curtains with one of the other fellow students, welcoming everyone and explaining what the following movie is about. She's sure he doesn't see her up there, she just sits there and watches him. All she thinks is, that she fucked up, but at the same time, he is just standing right in front of her, and she wants to devour him.

b.i.a

She waits in the queue to get into the cinema. She is alone, on her own. Some of the fellow stundets look at her with interest? She is never sure why people would look at her. She is waiting for eternity, getting the ticket and going to the cinema hall. The whole time she didn't see him. She sees her acquaintances, waves at them. One girl from the fellow stundets looks at her but she doesn't dare to look back. She goes straight to her acquaintances and sits down. A little small talk. Then it begins. He is standing down there again, giving his welcoming speech. This time she cannot watch him at all. Because right in front of her sits a very big man, with long grey hair. He is so big, that even when she moves in her seat, she cannot see him. The big man blocks the view completely. The only thing she can get is hearing his voice, speaking. But not one look. She thinks it is the universe trying to tell her something. That big man, that seems not to be part of the stundets group but just a man on his own, why is his presence sitting there, in front of her view. She locks the picture into her brain as if it was a frame of a movie.

when will i stop drawing them
