dunno if you've answered an ask similar to this or not, but what's the best place to start as an amateur comic maker?
lol as an amateur comic maker take my advice with a grain of salt😅
here's a post I did at one point about art tips?
here's a post about my process personally
comics are super broad and there's not really a wrong way to start I don't think. id say
Look at what you like. Can be comics and it can be other media too: a lot of my inspiration is webtoons, youtube video essays, interviews with dnd actual play ppl, disney animation... ABSORB the things you're interested in and morph it into a brain soup and barf it back out lol. A lot of seeing new content for me is also just discovering what's possible. I read The Lies Of Locke Lamora and was like. WTF NOVELS CAN BE FUNNY??? Look at advice on how ppl make that type of content, try to examine why you like it, and adopt the parts you want
Don't get caught up on the things you don't want to do/have no interest in. Comics don't HAVE to be a certain way, if you're like me and don't wanna spend forever rendering an image you can draw characters that take 10sec 😂if you have only an aesthetic in mind and no story, draw smth that evokes that for you even if it takes hours to paint a horrifying guts monster.
Draw whatever tf you want and have fun. It might take you a while to figure out how you want to draw comics for it to be fun— I didn't land on this style I'm using until like, legit 4 months ago and I've been drawing for years so 👍don't be afraid to change it up whenever you feel like it
Edit: OH YEAH this is more of a side note lol don't get too disappointed if through finding what you like to do it turns out comics isn't it. I went to school for animation and I still love movement, it looks super pretty to me. But I don't have the patience most of the time, I just want to slap a story down lol
#q&a#tbh it's so flattering ppl are asking me for comic advice asldkf;askdfj😭#i went to school for animation i am not a professional lol#thanks for the ask anon good luck

People be saying that Izuku would go feral when anyone gets hurt... and I'm like are you sure you ain't talking bout Tokoyami. Tokoyami went feral when Shoji had one of his arms chopped off during the end of the Forest Summer Camp arc and when Mina got stabbed in the second MHA movie. We don't see many of Tokoyami 's interactions, so it is safe to assume. Deku's ferals moments only happen when BAKUGO KATSUKI is hurt or going to be hurt. Bro, I mean like what?
Sure, 1-A are all very protective over each other. But if that's all certain fans think is between BkDk, then their understanding of the content is so basic. I can't for the life of me figure out why they don't see the very pronounced difference in the way Izuku feels/acts towards Kacchan vs the way he feels/acts towards everyone else.
Izuku feels so much empathy for Katsuki that he takes everything that happens to him so damn personal. Like it were an affront to his own honour, dignity, pride, heart and life. It's so clear that Katsuki has been taking up so much space in his whole heart for hundreds of chapters now, and here they are, still denying it. Why?
The reason Izuku's heart is feral only for Kacchan is becoming so sooo obvious too now, like. I mean, seriously..!
Can Hori spell it out for them anymore louder than he has been doing already?
There is no one who can take the place of Izuku's Kacchan. He is irreplaceable. Just like there is no other possible love interest that has been built up as beautifully as he. Because Katsuki is it. He's the only one Izuku's ever needed and fought to protect, like his whole soul was on the line.
At the end of the day we know the truth of them and the others can think what they think and become shocked pikachu face when Hori finally lets BkDk love each other the way they were always meant to and has them kiss or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#and then they'll probably cope some more lol#DEKU LOVES KACCHAN#HE LOVES HIM HES IN LOVE WIHT H IM THEY WANT TO BE BY EAHC OTHER'S SIDE#gentle/la brava exist as foil to aid people in realising that#asks#thanks anon#good luck ignoring the dudebros#bkdk canon#bakudeku#op#bkdk parallels

How do you handle getting ideas and scenes for other works when your writing a bigger peice? Do you just go for it and switch to writing that or write out the scene in bullet point and go back to the big thing you were working on? Or do you ignore all other ideas until you get your main peice finished? Just curious :0
It's so hard! I'm sure you already know that. But there was a point in the last year where I was switching off updating bloodletting, borderline, and a sky of honey every week and my brain was confused 24/7. Too many worlds, too many different rules, too many things for my goldfish brain to remember.
I have been burned before by my brain, so normally when an idea/scene comes to me (usually in the form of dialogue first) I yank out my phone and write down as much as I can before I lose the idea. Even if I don't use it until later, or I edit it down, I still have it.
So yeah, usually some lines of dialogue and a few bullet points if I think the direction/scene needs extra explaining for future me. I'm of the opinion that, if a scene/line/idea is pushing at you hard enough for it to distract you from your current writing, you should get it out. That's good writing energy, even if it's not helpful in the moment.
A good example of this was the lockdown scene in the cave in borderline. I'm fairly certain that line came to me while I was trying to plot out a complicated scene in bloodletting. It was not what I'd had planned initially for their cave "conflict" but it fit perfectly. I almost couldn't scribble it down fast enough!
#asks#anon#thanks anon!#good luck with writing if you're also in this boat#what works for me doesn't always work for everyone else#but that's how my brain works#I won't repeat my writing is like pooping metaphor#but i'm sure everyone can guess how it goes#myfic#theresurrectionist

Can I ask some advice. I was pro choice for years but recently became pro life but now I’m struggling with the realization that all my pro choice friends have really hateful attitudes towards babies and even disabled people that I didn’t notice when I was pro choice. I want to say something but doing so would admit that I changed my mind and I’m afraid they won’t want to be friends with me; they don’t have nice thoughts on prolifers and I don’t want them dismissing me as a brainwashed prude
Hello, thank you so much for your ask! Also, in case nobody else has told you, welcome to being pro life! It is extremely brave of you to make that change when everyone around you has a different view point. As far as advice for talking to them, it is definitely really tough, and I don’t have all of the answers.
My number one piece of advice is to come at it with love and remind them to do the same. A lot of times people who feel very strongly about something feel attacked when they are confronted about it, and it’s important to state out loud that even if you disagree with them, you still love them.
As someone who has been in similar situations regarding different beliefs, if you do feel like you need to speak up about it, you don’t necessarily have to start a debate doing it. A lot of times I’ll say something like “Hey, that’s a human person you’re talking about there” or “That’s not cool, how would you feel if someone said that about you,” which tends to get them to drop the topic.
As far as having a conversation about it, let them come to you and be genuine about it. Explain your points using science-- don’t use religion to convince them if they aren’t religious. Remind them (and remember) that both sides are usually coming at this out of a desire to help women, so we can agree on a lot of concrete solutions that aren’t abortion, such as crisis pregnancy centers and better care for moms. You could also point out that in a lot of ways, abortion is extremely misogynistic and does much more to hurt women-- for example, it’s much cheaper to pay for an abortion than it is to pay for the support the mother will need, so many in society would rather do that then provide women with what they need.
Another thing to remember is that a lot of pro choice woman have had abortions, and in today’s society, people tend to judge their self worth based off of the actions they have done. So if they have done something “bad” they consider themselves “bad” and they can’t fix that. It means that a lot of those women are going to be more resistant to pro life arguments because they don’t want to be bad, and because if they admit that the unborn are humans, then it means they killed their baby.
This is really tough to deal with, and there is no good answer to it outside of the Sacraments. But I would take the time to remind them that just because you do something wrong, it doesn’t make you a bad person. Yes, there is nothing we can do to undo that mistake, but that doesn’t mean that saying it isn’t a mistake is the right answer. Remind them that you love them (and if they are religious, remind them that God loves them and that they can and will be forgiven).
I know this is long, but I hope that it helped!
#ask answered#pro life#also if anyone else has anything to add#please feel free to do so!#good luck anon#feel free to come back with any other questions#or to let me know how it goes#Thank you to madamoisellesarcasme for helping with this

Heyy, I hope you had a great day, I thinks I have finally an idea lmao
Who do you think who prefer a Soft!dom and who will prefer a Hard!dom / rough!dom ?
it's up to you to choose which guy you want to include, hope you like this <33
-🌺
OOO THIS IS A GOOD ONE-
-I'm such a mommy dom myself anymore but there are just certain characters that scratch my old mean dom lifestyle in me that it's hard to ignore. What kind of doms do the boys like...
SOFT DOMS :: mommy doms, tender doms, lenient doms, doms that are coddling them and use choking sweetness to get their points across. Of course an obedient good boy helps but they wouldn't dream of disobeying when they're soft doms teach them such good manners and they'd never think twice to challenge that. And for that they're always good boys
Kunigami, NARUHAYA, NIKO, RIN, Kenyu
SWITCH(ISH) DOMS :: doms that can make them swoon and obey with the softest of approaches. But can crack down on bratty behavior when it arises. They love their doms bc they know that collar will be pulled up tight if they disobey. But getting lavished in attention and praise is almost always the way to go. Thankfully when they get a big head their dom can still put them in their place
ISAGI, Bachi, KUON, Raichi, NAGI, Chigiri, Gagamaru, Otoya
HARD DOMS :: almost transactional in their relationship. Rigid rules that can break the most exhueberent of spirits is what makes them rock hair in their uniforms. Break them, degrade them, use them; these are sluts that require a tight choke collar and punishment comes before pleasure every time. And they love it that way.
Baro, REO (secretly), SAE, Sendo, OLIVER, Karasu, KAISER
#isagi straddles that hard dom line so well bc that man is a /brat/#and we love that about him#kunigami should always have a soft dom someone love on him and make him blush and fix him these last chapters have been </3#you could hard dom nagi but...not sure it would get its point across...good luck with that one#:: thanks for the ask~! ✩#:: 🌺.anon~!✩#bllk smut#bllk x reader#blue lock smut#blue lock x reader#bllk headcanons#blue lock headcanons#itoshi sae smut#itoshi rin smut#nagi seishiro smut#mikage reo smut#isagi yoichi smut#bachira meguru smut

I saw one of your post abt character.ai can I just ask HOW DOD YOU BYPASS THE FILTER PLEASE TELL MEEEE
Also u are super funny and amazing ❤️
listen anon... I'll bestow upon you my knowledge... truthfully, the only way to bypass it is to make things as vague as possible... you can most definitely do it and the bot will go along with it but you must be tricky... here's some things you can try to say that won't make the bot get shock collared:
"make love" (if u say sex or fuck the bot tends to die but if you say something like "I want us to make love" you'll be fine)
making out / kissing with tongue is totally okay
taking off clothes is okay
"I want you" (bot will get the hint)
using words like "moan" or "pleasure" or "lust" will lead the bot in the right direction
to describe the act you can say like "your hips rock into me" or "our bodies press close together"
it's usually fine to say "wet" or "hard" to describe but you can also say "aroused" or "sensitive" for the same effect
also you can ask the bot to "talk dirty" and that'll usually give an interesting response lol
the golden rule is you gotta leave most stuff up to the imagination so don't expect the bot to say anything too vulgar or specific. it's about the vibes
#is this my most embarrassing post I've ever made#this is for educational purposes only clearly#don't look at me. this is education#thank you anon <3 good luck sexing your fictional partners#ask mags

Wow do you really usually color block and then do lines on top?? That’s so neat! I guess I’ve tried it before but I get frustrated when I can’t get the lines to line up properly where I want them. Any tips? Good luck in artfight!!
YEAH! I do usually have a flat coloured sketch underneath as my guideline though! Then I will add the actual painting onto subsequent layers above.
Painting lines over the top kind of gives u a better feel of where the lines should be thicker- you can kind of think of it as another level of shading too! Theres some parts here where u can see i block in a bigger area of black lines to give that area better depth ^^! Hopefully the progress gif helps a little bit!!

Allow me, if you will, a moment to go absolutely rabid over your blog and everything that goes on here. I’ve always loved history but the USA hardly likes teaching anything that isn’t American History. I’ve forgotten how much I love WORLD history, specifically the rise and fall of empires.
I’ve been smothering myself in your posts and I love it ALL. JC, Pompey, Crassus, Sulla, Octavian, Antony, Cassius, and Brutus. Wow what a mood. You don’t miss on your references or your modern AU’s and I’m over here like- I’m trying to buy whatever web comic you put out, book you write, etc.
Also, if you’d be so kind to list some material with like themes to start breaking into these topics. Preferably materials in English or translated materials.
HELL YEAH LET'S GO
if you really want to start on the ground floor for breaking into something, I'd recommend my personal favorite approach which is picking the figure that's most interesting to you, reading through plutarch's biography on them (free! online! in english!) and then putting their name through a jstor search and reading whatever sounds fun.
other than that, the primary theme I've been wandering around in lately, so these are the materials I've been really enjoyed related to that:
The Deaths of the Republic: Imagery of the Body Politic in Ciceronian Rome, Brian Walters
The Game of Death in Ancient Rome: Arena Sport and Political Suicide, Paul Plass
Ideology in Cold Blood: A Reading of Lucan's Civil War, Shadi Bartsch
Statius and Virgil: The Thebaid and the Reinterpretation of the Aeneid, Randall T. Ganiban
Rome, Blood & Power, Gareth C Sampson
I also have a comparatives tag where I play connect the dots with texts that made my brain go brrr
#also thank u 💓#ive been obsessed with history and historical non fiction since i was like. five. and my dad noticed that i liked watching documentaries#on pbs lmao#i lucked out: all of my history teachers through highschool were FANTASTIC but my sister's grasp on history#(w/ different teachers) is way worse and she was like. all honors and got a wicked scholarship to a very nice college#idk where im going with that. something about how history is taught with such inconsistency makes me feel :|#i feel passionately abt the subject so i want other people to love it too aughghhhhh#and the way history is taught in schools unless you get a good teacher. is not conducive to this. its a TRAGEDY#thinking about how my best favorite man mabini. ppl not knowing that polio was what caused paralysis in his legs#back when heneral luna came out. (head in hands)#like its good to learn! that was a learning moment for people! but also @ the education department: im fucking coming for you.#IM GETTING OFF TRACK thank u for sending this anon this ask made me really happy to read 🥺🥰💕💕💖💞#i hope you're having a nice day!#ask tag

Do you have any tips on drawing fat characters
Practice obviously correlates to improvement, yeah - so persevere with using references, following accounts that post good reference material and looking at other artists' artworks to see how they draw certain parts of the body. If you like how someone draws a nipple? try it yourself, adopt it into your style, be inspired by it.
and remember, perseverance and time create results. only ever compare yourself to yourself - never to others.

Hey! I just found your art and I adore it! I don't mean to be a bother, but how do you draw hands? They're so amazing and I struggle a lot with them!
Hello there, thank you so much~! It's no bother at all, sorry it took me a little while to respond (I came down with a cold and wanted to reply properly!), but check under the cut for a quick rundown on how I do hands and some general tips!
So I generally draw hands in four steps. First, I draw the block of the palm (which depending on the angle of the hand will typically be either a squarish shape or a wedge shape). Then I place the MEAT, that good chunk that's basically part of the thumb, if it's visible for the pose.
Next is the fingers. If the knuckles will be visible I usually circle in a KNUCKLE GUIDE, it helps me space out the fingers, follow the curve of the hand, and can sometimes make some nice shapes for me. As for the fingers themselves, I'll either just draw straight lines to start, or come in with big blocky shapes. I've found sometimes it's easier to erase the shape of the fingers than to draw them outright, especially in the sketch phase where I use thicker brushes (on purpose, so I don't worry about detail too much). That's my usual process!
I make frequent use of reference - normally I use my own hands. Either looking at them as is or taking a picture, I do both all the time
working digitally is GREAT for learning to draw something you struggle with, especially hands. sometimes I'll draw them very large on purpose and then shrink them down, or I'll zoom in while I draw them. big hands.
looking at how other artists draw hands can be just as helpful as looking at real-life reference, especially if you have a more "pushed" style
when drawing complicated hand gestures, I usually stick to simple shapes (at least for the sketch phase), because then I can at least get the idea down.
using the eraser or a brush on transparency to find the shapes of the fingers for you is a gamechanger, erasing can be drawing too!
I let the character decide the finger and hand shape
knuckles still don't make much sense to me (that's why I often use a KNUCKLE GUIDE, sometimes I'll just partially erase the circles to make the knuckle shape for me and call it good)
Nothing...hugely revelatory. Hands can be pretty intimidating, they're comparatively small and full of bits and bends...and you can always just kind of tell when a hand isn't "drawn right". Practicing drawing singular hands on a larger scale really helped me, as well as focusing on "shapes" over "details".
One thing I've been really trying to remind myself of lately is that I can draw things how I WANT them to look instead of how I think they SHOULD look; looking good or cool vs "right" or "correct". This is especially helpful with drawing hands, as they can be so expressive and articulate and weird in their own right, that ignoring technical correctness in favor of GOOD SHAPE, LOOKS COOL can really help you land somewhere a bit more satisfying.
#chan replies#replied#hands#draw tips#i hope....anything here was useful anon#hands are complicated. learning to simplify them - just so you can get comfortable drawing them#and THEN getting complicated again#was my general process. and it kind of still is#good luck!! thank you for the ask and the compliment!! let's draw!!!!

hey r i saw you were taking questions about finland and i was wondering if you have any finnish book recommendations. i started learning finnish about a month ago and my goal for the end of the year is to be able to read short books.
Hi!
So happy to hear you've started learning Finnish!
I do in fact have some recommendations for Finnish literature!
Here are some Finnish authors and books I'll recommend:
Timo Parvela
"Ella"-series follows a crazy class of elementary school kids. Aimed at kids but the humor works well for older audiences and the text is easy to read.
(This first one helped me learn how to read so I'm recommending it if you're learning to read Finnish)
"Sammon vartijat" a trilogy (Tuliterä, Tiera, Louhi), young adult fiction based on Finnish mythology and the stories of Kalevala.
Salla Simukka
"Lumikki" -trilogy (Punainen kuin veri, Valkea kuin lumi, Musta kuin eebenpuu) is a young adult crime mystery series following a young girl, Lumikki.
(Honestly can recommend all her books)
And if you are looking for Finnish comic books, I can give some recommendations too:
Karoliina Korhonen
"Finnish nightmares," a book about social awkwardness and wanting to be polite.
"Matti in the wallet," a book full of Finnish sayings and word plays.
Tuuli Hypén
"Nanna," a comic about a city fox girl called Nanna and her struggles through student life.

Hey! Thank you! I know it’s not my normal content but it is a decent chunk of my life.
Yes, Dan Mora’s Wonder Woman….I’m in love. I want to strike fear into the hearts of my enemies, just like her. It’s a great motivation!

ur so real for that kylar post like listen i get it we love an obsessed freak but he’s like. visibly greasy and smells bad. no way you can convince me that boy knows how to wash his ass and clean off the dick cheese 😭 theres no “i can fix him!!” from me for that. meanwhile vrel has confirmed eden is the cleanest ro bc they cant afford to get sick from poor hygiene living by themselves out in the woods, so that dick is both huge and IMMACULATE
anon youre so right i couldn’t have said it better myself, it’s a running gag at this point that kylar does NOT bathe as much as he should be. greasy, stinky, how the hell does he get around town so fast. does he crawl through the sewers?? i could be halfway across town, see him, take THE fastest shortcut across town, and that motherfucker is sitting over on the bench at the park. i just know he reeks. probably only gets “clean” the days it rains and he has to scurry home like a wet cat after staying cooped up in the arcade all day. there’s simply no fixing him 💀
kylar pls clean your dick cheese and wash your ass it is the one thing i ask of you. and drink water PLEASE i just know he’s pissing battery acid it’s not helping his case here. we love the freak but wash your ass !!! and his glorified hazard zone of a manor? mr. clean, lavender fabuloso and bleach is needed everywhere. NEVER go into his room with a UV light.
EDEN THOUGH… you’re so right i don’t care if people hate him or love him but that man is CLEAN. elite. big dick, no cheese, got his own plumbing system in his cabin, makes all-natural soap, self-sufficient big dick eden accomplishing everything off the grid. like minus the obvious (blood, sweat, grime, etc. from hunting/working) the “worst thing” is probably the dirt under his nails but he gets rid of it all after the nightly bath. pathogens are scared of him. his very own osmosis jones in his immune system. i just KNOW his cabin smells good.
#asks/messages#stepping into kylar’s manor with a gas mask#good luck soldier 🫡#for anyone else reading tho:#alex’s place doesn’t count they live on a farm and farms stink#especially the chickens and pigs#you try to open the window to let in a breeze??#farm stench greets you instead#thank u anon this made me laugh#you speak nothing but TRUTH 🗣☝️#dol kylar#dol eden

Hello Soap! Hoping all is good in your neck of the woods and that the basement flooding debacle was resolved easily. I've once again come to humbly request a bit more Jonathan Brewster/Herman Einstein during these trying times (finals week)
Hello there! Ah thank you so much for asking anon! The basement got fixed very soon by the perpetrators - they first tried to pin the flooding on me (because my washing machine is there, although i hadn’t used it in a week) but then they eventually got down to fixing it and cleaning up the damage, and now it’s all dry again!
I wish you the absolute best of luck on your finals!! It's tough out there, so I'm more than happy to make you a drawing to support you in your week! I hope you do well!
And here's a nice indulgent one specially for you:
#herman einstein#jonathan brewster#arsenic and old lace#ask soap#thanks for the ask!#good luck anon!#i hope you knock em out of the park#like the baseball game in the beginning of the movie#peter lorre#raymond massey#drawing#doodle#fanart
