the flour massacre is ongoing. it is everyday. it was not an isolated event. it was not even the first time israel shot at and killed palestinians going for aid (they do it whenever they allow aid through). in fact, they did the exact same thing yesterday morning. just because smaller-scale murders go under the radar for lack of shock factor doesn’t mean they’re not happening continuously.

hello! i love your boruto art so much! i was wondering how you draw cho cho’s hair?

Hello!! Thank you so much! 💙

Just to make sure I can give this the right answer, are you asking about how I stylize textured hair/protective hairstyles? :3 or did you mean something else?

i keep seeing that post about how frustrating the buff guy -> petite girl type genderbending is, and i wanted to add my two cents regarding the addition of ‘just swap pronouns and don’t change the design’ approach because i think these are two sides of the same coin, as they both fail to really delve into what i think is the most interesting aspect of this design exercise.

the reason i find genderbending to be such a fun and interesting challenge is because, if you actually want to be good at it and put thought into it, you have to really consider the character’s canon gender expression and think about what it means to them and how it reflects in their outward appearance and presentation.

is this male character buff because he likes to work out / be strong, or does he aspire to achieve conventional heteronormative male beauty?

is this female character a tomboy because she likes to express herself in a more masculine way, or is she doing it to fight gender norms?

the answers to those questions should produce very different designs!

this website loves to say that gender is a spectrum, but sometimes i genuinely wonder if people actually understand what that means. 

gender expression, much like gender, is also a spectrum, which is why keeping the character exactly the same won’t always work, in the same way that just making the character conventionally attractive won’t always work. but sometimes, a buff dude would actually just be a hot girl. lady bane, however, would 100% look exactly the same.

#these are really good points #txt #personally #when I genderbend I try to capture the same energy but of the opposite gender #and keep what aspects are most important

If apple notes doesn’t stop giving me yellow squiggle lines on perfectly fine grammar I will throw my device gently at a soft surface because replacing it will cost me half my life savings.

On the topic of piracy, a lot of people have sort of judged me over the years for buying physical media like manga, CDs and physical copies of games. “You can just rent/buy them online for way cheaper?” Yeah, and I can also just randomly lose access to them and never be able to use them again.

I’m a very big fan of making physical art and buying physical media because nobody can just take it away from you without having to physically come into your home and steal it.

Another thing to note is that I can also resell them. If you buy a game online you can never get your money back except for refunds, or selling your whole account.

ALSO how am I meant to show off my kick-ass games if they’re all on my console huh.

Palestinians are no longer asking us to help stop the bombing.

They are asking ( I would normally say begging, but proud as they are, Allah save them. After 106 days, they never begged for anything) for food.

They fear dying out of hunger more than being shredded to pieces by bombs

The messages they send.... How can I tell it's worse.. I can't put it into words, but it's worse

funimation is shutting down as part of its merger with crunchyroll, and any digital copies of anime funimation users bought won't carry over. you can purchase something outright and corpos will still turn around and say you don't own or control it.

anyway piracy is good and necessary and perhaps even an imperative.

FUCK. GUYS. I AM USING MY BLOG AS A NOTES APP RN. I NEED TO REMEMBER THIS.

I JUST REALIZED THAT COLORS GREATLY SHIFT IN HUE DEPENDING ON IF THE SUN IS WITHIN DIRECT SIGHT OR NOT…. MIGHT DRAW EXAMPLE LATER???

Like 99% sure this is just how exposure works, but I didn’t realize how much it drastically changed hues.
