So earlier in art class today, someone drew a characters hands in their pockets and mentioned that hands are really like the ultimate end boss of art, and most of us wholeheartedly agreed. So then, our teacher went ahead and free handed like a handful of hands on the board, earning a woah from a couple of students. So the one from earlier mentioned how it barely took the teacher ten seconds to do what I can’t do in three hours. And you know what he responded?
“It didn’t take me ten seconds, it took me forty years.”
And you know, that stuck with me somehow. Because yeah. Drawing a hand didn’t take him fourth years. But learning and practicing to draw a hand in ten seconds did. And I think there’s something to learn there but it’s so warm and my brain is fried so I can’t formulate the actual morale of the lesson.

now that I’ve been back a while I’m getting the age old “is this okay to reblog” questions on my posts, and I would like to say what I have always said which is that 1. Yes. 2. You should never
Ever
post a single thing on this site that would make you uncomfortable or cause trouble for you if someone shared it elsewhere. Yes, even if you disable reblogs on the post.
It’s not nice, but you have absolutely zero expectation of privacy or containment regarding anything you post to any social media. Even if it’s social media that only your friends can view. It’s still up and out there.
If it would be upsetting or dangerous or just plain awkward for something you post here to show up elsewhere—I cannot stress this enough—Do Not Post It.

this guy is like some sort of Space Police Justice Dude and it's not that he DOESN'T look like that but that. he also looks like a backyard dad
Tumblr media
Look at him. This man looks like he knows how to barbeque. He looks like he can cook burgers. He looks like he owns a table saw. He looks like someone you'd find in Canadian Tire. He looks like after dinner he's going to go watch the game on TV. He looks like he should be drinking beer at the lake. He looks like he knows how to build a bookshelf. He looks like he could teach you how to check the oil in your car. He looks like someone I'd trust to bake me a potato. He looks like he can build a campfire and remembered to bring the hot dogs. He looks like he has a shed in the backyard. He looks like he's got a fixer upper truck parked beside the garage. He looks like he knows how to gut a fish. He looks like he calls people 'bud.' Anyway peak character design
once again i am thinking about. Duo Megaman8. What a character design

“Commander, do you read?”
“Uh… yes, captain. I read you.”
“Did you identify the object blocking the wormhole?”
“Yes, sir. It’s um…”
“Well? What is it?”
“It’s a cargo ship.”
“A star-freighter? What is it doing here?”
“Not a star-freighter, sir. A cargo ship. Like the kind that used to go on the water.”
“What?”
“That’s what I was thinking.”
“I see… well, does it have any identifying markers?”
“There’s a company logo.”
“What does it say?”

Anyway here’s a poem I wrote about my cat
After “Do not stand at my grave and weep”, author disputed:
Do not stand at your bowl and meow. I gave you food. It’s in there now. I feed you at the dawning light, I feed you at the fall of night. I feed you kibbles mixed with meat And wet food for a special treat. I feed you even though you scoff At all the food within your trough. I feed you and still yet you yell Like as a beast from deepest hell. Do not stand at your bowl and cry. I gave you food. You will not die.

Genuinely 90% of historical fiction would be so much better if more writers could get more comfortable with the fact that to create a good story set in a different time period you do actually have to give the characters beliefs & values which reflect that time period

i know this means absolutely nothing to most people but basically all of the little web game things I've made recently (angels in automata, hex plant growing game, d.a.n.m.a.k.u., life music, sudoku land, the metroidvania style map editor, etc etc etc) are all entirely self-contained individual client-side html files that can be downloaded and run offline and have literally no libraries or frameworks or dependencies, because i'm an insane woman who enjoys hand coding my input handling and display code from scratch in vanilla js and having it all live in one single html file with the game logic and the page structure and the page style all just living and loving together side by side in a universal format that can be run by any web browser on any devixe. i'll even include image files as base64 data-uri strings just to keep every single asset inside the one file.

I just discovered foodtimeline.org, which is exactly what it sounds like: centuries worth of information about FOOD.  If you are writing something historical and you want a starting point for figuring out what people should be eating, this might be a good place?
