#it really is pretty simple

[widevibratobitch]

me when im obsessed with dead singers from 50 (well... mostly 70-120) years ago and im heartbroken to know i'll never see them on stage... never hear them breathe, never see them sweat, never even touch the hem of their garment...

it really is enough to drive a person mad...

#this is so funny because this is the one vaguepost that i wholeheartedly 100% agree with skdhsjshsjdhsn #like yeah!! it does indeed pain me that the level of operatic singing has so drastically decreased over the last 50 years! #that top operatic stars of today are all either nasal or wobbly or knödely or completely inaudible without microphones #but some of yall are just not ready for this conversation. example a #anyway. as many have said before. its kinda easier to understand how some people cant appreciate certain operas #if they never heard them sung well lol #sorry im out of blood today. i know this is a very uncomfortable subject for many but. #you can actually judge someone's singing in a pretty objective way. there are nuances of course. but from a technical point of view #it really is pretty simple #(also its not like i dont enjoy *some* modern singers lol have you SEEN my kwiecień posting???? lmao #hell. there are even some modern singers i have a soft spot who i KNOW sing... Not Very Well. but i enjoy them lol #not many ofc but. yknow) #also 50 years ago would be the 1970s if im doing my maths correctly and. that is really the point in opera history #when it all started going downhill (sadly partly because of one of my all time favourite singers' influence... but thats a different story) #anyway. remember when luis tetrazzini said that the future generations of singers will be The Best singers in history #because they'll have access to all those recordings of The Greats Of The Past that they'll be able to listen to and learn from? #lmao queen you were right about so many things but that was tragically not one of them </3 #opera tag #yes im stirring the pot of boiling liquid shit and putting this post gently into the main tag #*luisA tetrazzini ofc #lol and lmao im out FOR blood* shdgsjsghs

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#i used to be pretty intimidated by the idea of having to describe my art but. it isnt as hard as it sounds #i just treat it like im describing an image i dont have at the time really #plus ive been told that even a simple id is better than no id #lev.txt

Blacked out in front of my tablet and woke up with sketches of my Touchstarved mc + Kuras my beloved. woops

#I found out dr. kuras is 6'6 I said hold on lemme get a stool so I can climb this man #touchstarved #touchstarved game #touchstarved kuras #kuras #sleepyscribble #oc.emma #my mc is meant to be a self insert but also like. I wanted to come up w a design and character arc and everything jkvkvk #so I ended up basing her on my personality/looks but taking her into a direction that would fit the game #she's like. me but 'characterized' and a bit exaggerated for the sake of being a character yk #the way she turned out is that she's basically a friendly happy go lucky mage who laughs at her own misery but hides #a deep layer of self loathing underneath all that bc of her curse #having been cursed all her life she believes she's a monster and the sunny personality is a way for her to 'make up for it' #but at the same time she feels like a farse. like she's only luring ppl in to an inevitable demise #and she thinks she's selfish bc despite knowing the danger she poses she still goes out there and puts herself among ppl #bc she craves human connection. even tho she feels guilty for 'indulging' in it #anyway I love the cursed mc concept in this game <3 it's been really interesting to think abt how that would affect someone #also I kept her physical features looking pretty much like mine #bc I wanted to draw myself in a cute way. teehee #but the clothing I was basically thinking like. early game simple clothing that she didn't rlly pick for herself #and maybe later I can have an updated design w something she would actually pick for herself

they’ve been cooked…. (PHIGHTING!)

Yea Twitter really liked these ones lmao, anyways the first one was for a trend and the second one is just a silly follow up to it LMAO

#I actually had a lot of fun with these #I’m trying out a bit more of a “clean” style (specifically for chibis and such) and I honestly really really like it #It’s much easier to do stuff like gradients plus it’s pretty simple and nice! #I’m also working on a bunch of mermaid au chibis as well so those should be out soon! #I am kind of tied in with comms though so it may be a bit before I get to them #but hopefully they shouldn’t take too long :3! #Anyways enjoy the SFOTH eggrolls and icedagger soup #You can purchase them for 2944838482939 bux at catshots Café :3c #art #artists on tumblr #phighting fanart #phighting! #digital art #roblox phighting #phighting roblox #phighting #phighting art #roblox #PHIGHTING #phighting icedagger #icedagger #icedagger phighting #darkheart phighting #venomshank #illumina #phighting darkheart #illumina phighting #darkheart #ghostwalker phighting #ghostwalker

#sonic prime #This was...suppoused to be a simple RBG eyestraining piece in reference to Housewife Radio (by ghost and pals) #because I had that song alongside an epik Sonic and Nine animatic stuck in my head for a good while #but than I found one layer setting that made the colors really really pretty and it only spiraled out of control from there #Proud of it immensely tho!!! #and the lyrics stay even when the thang looks nothing like originally intended cuz they still inspired me to draw #they might be a bit corny but oh well #miles nine prower #nine the fox #mah art #me does arts #actually finished doodl

i hate that "what do you do when you share a f/o with someone" poll not being made by a self shipper and just being on the apolladay blog where any sort of poll can go. it didn't even break containment, it was made without our space in mind. it seems like bait to me. moreover, and the reason i'm making this post: blocking someone is not negative, mean, or rude. it is a neutral action and we shouldn't assign morality to blocking or curating your own space. if you think someone blocking someone that they don't want to interact with is any of those things, including "weird," then you aren't mature enough to be on tumblr. it is their prerogative whether or not you agree. and anyone who's calling self shippers abnormal, weird, delusional (or my personal beloathed "delulu"), or any other derogatory term, you're similarly immature for being unable to even perceive those who are different from you without stooping to insults and i wish you all the best.

#we really should stop seeing blocking as a bad thing. stop insulting people you don't know who aren't doing anything wrong #i don't normally make posts like this but i feel like this one's pretty simple #self ship

Hopefully season 7 or the movie will make this canon

#Ofc i'm talking for Nicole because Richard is canonially bisexual #first time drawing them and I love them so much <3 #it was hard af to make the poses but aside from that it was pretty simple #using references really makes a diference lol #the amazing world of gumball #tawog #tawog nicole #tawog richard #bisexual #lgbt pride #lgbtq #lgbtq community #pride month #my art #(I made their heights wrong but you didn't see that)

GMs! Anyone who’s ever been a game master! Say something nice about your own GMing!

Ideas:

Specific aspects of GMing that you’re really good at (ex. worldbuilding, RPing, puzzles, plot hooks, running combat, developing NPCs)

Something that went down in a game that you’re proud of (ex. pulling off a big reveal, an NPC character interaction that was fun)

Something that you think your players appreciate about playing with you (ex. you find cool ways to weave in their PCs’ backstories, you’re funny and always have people laughing in stressful moments)

#I’ll go first: I run a game where politics is a pretty big part of it #and I’m good at developing political scenarios that feel complicated #and multifaceted #while actually being pretty simple at their heart #by parcelling out little bits of information in NPCs #some of whom may be mistaken or lying #it’s not something I ever thought I’d do but I really enjoy it tbh #ttrpgs #also this is because GMs are very frequently hard on ourselves #and don’t give ourselves the credit we deserve

I hate the mom hunter jokes so much y’all Kakyoin is the most respectful boy ever he would never and I think him and Holly would have an adorable mother-son relationship if y’all would stop being WIERD >:{

#my art #jjba #jojos bizarre adventure #noriaki kakyoin #kakyoin noriaki #Holly Kujo #comic #we need to find a healthy balance for Kakyoin and his personality #bc yeah sassy and mean Kakyoin is really fun #but the whole reason he became my favorite literally was bc he was so kind and respectful to those around him #ESPECIALLY considering his teammates #but he’s also not 100% soft and a pushover #which I unfortunately see a lot of #also unfortunately I find myself falling into the trap of making him one note #but I think thats true for fictional characters in general #it’s easy to get into that habit bc they’re not sentient #lots of fictional characters have simple personalities for the sake of the story #it’s part of the reason why I’m pretty lenient on mischaracterzation #i’m rambling #anyways I think if Kakyoin calls Joseph ‘mr joestar’ #I think he would call Holly ‘mrs. Kujo’

working at a badly funded and poorly run homeless hostel for over a year has taught me a lot but reassuringly solified my belief in compassion. we have some real dickheads here who have done terrible things (theyre in the minority) and witnessing that ive still never thought for a second that theyre undeserving of shelter, food, amneties and access to second chances. which is not anything someone should pat themselves on the back for but its really disappointing when some coworkers make comments like they dont.

the real problem seems to be that for our council, and society at large, as long as theyre not on the street and not in sight, thats as far as their issue with it seems to go. they want you off the street, but thats it. theres this insane cognitive dissonance where youre either a 'good' homeless person just in need of a leg up or a 'bad' homeless person who gets cycled around the system with little hope, as long as youre not in public view, as long as youre more or less kept alive. staffing is so important. ive worked two quite different places now but here the morale is so low. the turnaround is so high. support workers here are assigned about 20 clients per person when really you can only support around up to 5 responsibly. the building is full but we perpetually need staff in a place where nobody who genuinely wants to help without burning themselves out to do so will stay (not to mention they make £1 above minumum wage). you cant support people like that, and whats the point when these people feel set up to be put in stasis in this bad system. if you cant/dont work, you get housing benefits to pay the rent. if you do find work, your benefits are gone and all your money will go on the rent. the only ones who can seemingly successfully 'bootstrap' themselves out are the ones finding work in secret so nobody else can manipulate them and their new money, which has to be cash in hand to keep their benefits. youre going to feel stuck, if you feel stuck, you feel hopeless or lash out. lashing out at other people losing hope and staff losing the morale to properly help. we can tick off the boxes of basic rights and say theyve got what they need but beyond that, the support to a real quality of life does not feel like an objective in that system. some people will always be in this system, for whatever reason, they will have to have this proper support. they get treated as helpless and totally in a situation of their own making at the same time. its complex. its sad and infuriating. i wanted to write some of the thoughts ive experienced on it for a while. ive met all kinds of people. i wish there was more i could do but really its on structures a lot more powerful than me that are on the whole indifferent. but i guess thats the thing. i want to stay angry but im afforded that indifference. im lucky i dont have to be too anxious about falling into that system. it can be out of my sight, i dont want to let it out of mind. but for them, they cant have either.

#i only work there really sporadically as a receptionist so i really dont bare that brunt but i still obviously see it all around me #its convenient for me to work there in uni and i know im leaving for good this summer so i feel mentally fine working there #but its an issue i feel pretty passionate about #idk. these are pretty obvious points but when you experience it for real it really does get confirmed to you in its complexity #theres really no simple solution but it feels like it gets reduced to that because if you really look at it its kind of an unsustainable me #like a lot of things...

y'all got me all hyped to do more merfolk AU art so I finished the Love's Lights scene

#I GIVE YOU: MORE FUN MERFOLK AU FACTS THAT NOBODY ASKED FOR!!! #Ezra grew up on his own without the benefit of other merfolk to learn from and he's kinda out of touch with his merfolk instincts #so ezra THINKS he's bringing sabine to a pretty underwater light show that he thinks she'll think is cool #and telling himself ''i'm getting a good grade in platonic friendship; something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve!'' #...except his mer-instinct is actually prompting him to bring The Love Of His Life to the site of the Annual Merfolk Love Festival #and merfolk bioluminescent patterns reflect their mood and communicate with other merfolk #BUT Ezra can't really control his markings #so he's putting on an involuntary light show that translates to #''SABINE!! HI!! LOOK AT ME!! I'M GLOWING REALLY BRIGHT!! IS THAT IMPRESSIVE OR WHAT?? P.S. I'VE FALLEN IRREVOCABLY IN LOVE WITH YOU'' #also the pattern of Ezra's markings is inspired by Sabine's starbird! #mythical creatures au #jessica's art #sabezra #sabezra fanart #not 100% loving sabine's outfit in this tbh #I tried to do something simple that went with what the fic described her wearing but it turned out kinda boring... #and ezra's tail turned out weird too... sighhhh... #oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #OOH WAIT I THOUGHT OF ANOTHER FUN FACT #the shell necklace Sabine is wearing is one that Ezra gave to her when he was 15 #and for adult merfolk the gift of a handmade shell necklace is basically a marriage proposal #but he was a kid then so it's more equivalent to the time my best friend proposed to her crush with a ring pop

I had a dream that you revealed Machete's real name, and it was still Machete but pronounced "mah-hee-yet" or "mah-hee-yay", depending on how french the speaker was

.

#DEPENDING ON HOW FRENCH THE SPEAKER WAS #beautiful #people occasionally ask me how his name is supposed to be pronounced #and the simple answer is that he's nicknamed after the big knife so you can just say it the same way it's not a big deal #also I'm not going to be there to hear you so I don't really care too terribly much #I say it how it reads in Finnish which is pretty far from the English pronunciation #but is coincidentally relatively close to the original Spanish one which is a reasonably lore friendly option #answered #anonymous #mah-hee-yay
