#be straight follow the rules

[aingeal98]

The methods of dealing with the big bads in Buffy are so funny and get increasingly more unhinged like s1 and 2 are vampires and we killed them. s3 a giant snake monster and we blew it the hell up. s4 a frankenstein monster robot that we killed by melding all of our souls together and using magic to give Buffy superpowers so she can rip out his heart. s5 an invincible god so Giles just straight up murdered its innocent human host to kill it. s6 our good friend Willow who we asked very nicely to please stop murdering people and destroying the world and now she continues to hang out with us and occasionally do ridiculously powerful feats of magic but it's OK she's not quite as depressed and suicidal anymore so she probably won't kill us all. And s7 was just the ultimate evil so we went back to the classic tactic of blowing it's army the hell up.

#btvs #btvs spoilers #btvs rambles #listen. everything about willow and the scoobies is tragic but it's also hilarious #buffy “there are rules in place that we need to follow” summers making an exception for her best friend because she's very polite #xander just straight up not caring if she destroys the world as long as he can go out by her side #dawn probably the most sane reaction of “i'm going to place this all in a little box and ignore it but also never fully trust you again.”

Just once I’d like to see a person with super powers or magic who DOESN’T get a boost from heightened emotion.

That should make it harder for them to concentrate, right?

#writing prompts #it’s probably out there already #but I can’t think of an example #like yes I understand that adrenaline is a thing #and magic might follow those rules #but shaky hands and poor marksmanship are also a thing #and an inability to think straight because of The Rage #I mean really both could exist #magic and superpowers can work differently for everyone #I’m just tired of seeing them follow the same patterns #Avatar did it well! #I just remembered a bit about that in a later season #but otherwise I’m drawing a blank

literally nothing will stop me from calling good omens gay "but they're not human!" i do not care "but the lore!" i do not care "but neil gaiman said!" i do not care. those bitches are gay what are you gonna do? call a cop? vague post? cope

#faggots can do what they want thank you i do not follow rules set by straight men in khakis #gay in a broad sense queer as in not straight gay as in themes and narratives becoming human straying from the path sucking and fucking #the way they enjoy human culture food wine music dancing gender sexuality #also they are not real they are my barbie dolls and i am smushing their faces together and playing dress up #callung characters gay queer trans will never ever be problematic or incorrect #if them not being human prevents them from being gay why did the author call them asexual and genderfluid like what those arent human terms #??? asexual and genderfluid is being queer you can call them gay stop trying to avoid the word #good omens critical #<<< ig

do you have any tips for like... paneling? your lil comics, if i could call them that(?) with Dave are well made (to me at least) and I'd like to get into making comics! or if you know any resources that helped you. :') - sincerely, a beginner.

sorry to be answering this so late, wanted to try and give some kinda proper advice haha so what i do is i just make my posts as long as possible so that it takes up like all of ppls dash, this means they are forced to look at it and engage with it! no ok but for real, first off this is just how i do things and by no means any sort of proper tutorial or anything, most of this is prob kinda basic and intuitive stuff, but its good to be reminded of the basics and to notice why you might be doing said things intuitively so you can start doing it intentionally so how i approach things is by picking a focus panel whats the Punchline/Emotional pay off for the page/comic? and then i try and build the rest around that for actual Comics not every page is gonna have one of those ofcourse and thats fine i tend to often have to many focus panels,,,, lmao(which is why my posts end up so long,,,,) i try to group similar panels and make them smaller, it saves space, makes it so the attention goes to the more unique panels and makes things feel more sequential(or u can do like me and have too many similar panels and think, what if i just make it an animation, its just a few extra frames right,,,?<- clueless(i have done this twice now,,, the second is still a wip,,, )) heres one of my posts deconstructed using all this, id do more of them but i dont wanna make this even longer asdsd, but i think its pretty obvious to pick up on once you know the formula lol

after that i think its mostly just clear composition and flow so things dont get confusing(like what panel(also applies to text) youre suppose to read next and such(thats easier with this cus its usually just individual panels and not full pages)) edit: oh and resources that helped me, i mostly just looked at other comics, paying attention to how the paneling was effecting the story and mood! some comics ive looked at for paneling inspo are houseki no kuni, how they play with contrast and stuff, idk theyre all just very striking, i looked at ajin at some point as well for help with some action stuff, most action shonen are also great for that 2 so yeah, just find a comic scene that has the same vibe that youre trying to get and see how they did it, finding a few and comparing and contrasting what you feel works best thats my thought process while doing stuff at least! i hope this helps at least a bit haha

#another thing a teacher told me at some point is to make things Look Intentional? in this case they were referring to comic panels #and how if you have one of those classic slanted dividers(i dont remember what theyre called.. n am 2 lazy to look it up) #make sure its not just slightly slanted as then often gets misread as a mistake like you just messed up a straight line #so basically go big or go home #like art has no rules so u can do whatever you want and different things work better depending on the piece but its advice i try and follow #also paneling for ask blog stuff is a lot easier then actual comics its prob a good place to start to practice this kinda stuff #timing is also important? timing is why im doing 2 animations....... #they just werent working as panels cus they felt too slow? cus it needed 2 many panels that were all quite similar #so they took a lot of space and took 2 long to go through #which is why i was like ill just animate it!<- does not like animating #the things i do for this blog u_u #rambles #advice #anon #art

Panel one is so close to Tenzō that he's mostly out of the frame aside from the lower half of his face. He's trembling again. Behind him, Kakashi regards him with a critical eye. "Here I am, making you patch me up, asking you not to report me, but putting you in a situation where you have to," Tenzō says, then, adds, "And I'm scared of my own village." Panel two shows us only their backs. Tenzō is sitting straight, shaking, and Kakashi is leaning towards him slightly. "I'm, at this point, already a liability—" Tenzō starts, but Kakashi cuts him off. "Tenzō, I'm not going to report you," Kakashi says. Panel three, Tenzō turns to look at Kakashi. The tears have returned to his eyes and he doesn't seem to notice them. "I know you don't want to," Tenzō says. Panel four, Tenzō looks away and down. His shudders have noticeably increased. "You're very loyal," Tenzō starts. Kakashi interrupts, "Tenzō." "And I can't let myself take advantage of that," Tenzō says, as though he didn't even hear Kakashi. Panel five, Tenzō turns back to Kakashi. He's slightly smaller in the panel than the previous two. "I'm sorry. I don't know why I came here," Tenzō says. "Tenzō," Kakashi interrupts, this time in a larger speech balloon with bolder text, louder. Tenzō continues still, "I forced you into this situation—" Panel six features only Kakashi, his eyes are narrowed, his eyebrows low, and he's got his hand in front of himself as though he's making a slashing motion. "Tenzō, you're not listening to me," Kakashi says. "You're not a liability or a threat, and I will not be reporting you." Panel seven shows them facing each other. Kakashi is sitting straight, while Tenzō has once more assumed his defensive hunch forward. "Senpai—" Tenzō starts to argue. "I am however, going to bar you from both solo and split missions in any research labs for the next year, at least," Kakashi says, and some small, pale subtext beside it reads "Unless my order is superseded by a higher officer, obviously." Tenzō, looking frustrated, but still shaking and tears still rolling down his cheeks, argues back. "I told you, it wasn't the lab. I wasn't scared, it was like I—" /end ID

#my art #naruto #comics #yamato #yamato tenzo #tenzō #kakashi #just kidding. hes doing a really bad job of repressing it #and kakashi is really out of his depth here he's so fucking uncomfortable LMFAO #did i make it clear how uncomfortable he is? look at the last panel he's even sitting up straight. he's practically breaking out in hives. #but fuck it tenzō is setting the pace for this thing. if tenzō is talking rules and regulations #kakashi's trying to speak rules and regulations right back #if tenzō is talking feelings kakashi will. well. he will be uncomfortable. first and formost. #but he might. maybe. try to speak feelings right back #while this IS 100% a comic abt tenzō. im giving Kakashi insight in the tags mostly because. well. #while tenzō is being very vulnerable and showing us a whole lot of himself (whether he wants to or not) #kakashi is trying to minimize his self as much as possible and keep his own vulnerability Out of it #all we get out of him is his eye expressions and occasionally some stilted dialogue bc hes frustrated #to indicate there's anything going on under the surface OTHER than ''gee i hope tenzō is okay :('' of which. there is a lot #i sometimes play with the idea of doing a one or two page comic to follow this up abt kakashi's feelings afterward

@bxd-kxrma liked for a starter

All in all, it was quite a peaceful night (somewhere around 3 am, mind you), until said peace was suddenly and rudely disturbed by a dark figure appearing from the bushes. Said figure, limping just a bit and cursing under her breath, stomped right to the window of what she hoped would be Karma's bedroom and hesitated for all of two seconds before banging her fist on the frame a couple times.

"Yo! Psst! Karma! You asleep?!" Welp, that's quite a loud whisper.

#bxd kxrma #//listen your rules said to skip the first meeting and my mind sure did skip. straight to chaos. hi! :D #//looking at them both I do propose they probably met during some spontaneous fight #//also Karma is really effing cool WHY weren't I following you yet #-: ✧ :-゜・．(;verse 1) 「„life-fiber hunter“」 #//leaving your verse to your preference tho!

rambly rant in the aftermath of this whole situation. I wasn’t gonna say anything because I didn’t have anything new or smart to say

but now I really wanna implore my followers to think critically in light of tumblr “drama”. because it’s dangerous. inflammatory posts are so easy.

imagine being called some of the worst words for one second, could you as easily defend yourself? even if you knew you had done nothing, how easy does it seem to convince an angry mob that they’ve got it wrong? definitely not as easy as making the fucking post at least.

I don’t want to talk whatever allegations. its not about the post of the week. its about the culture around drama, and free-for-all that surrounds it.

the lack of critical thought and understanding that smart, grown humans are able to give these situations is sad. past blind gut reaction anger and disbelief, do yall do anything with those thoughts afterward? parroting some talking head without thought isn’t insight. the people who make these posts on anon and think that gives them free reign to do the most despicable shit,

if you wish real harm, if you doxx, if you threaten someone’s life or innocent people who aren’t even involved - you’re straight up a bad person. the person you’re calling out may be a bad person too, but there’s no way you’re the “good guy” there.

can you actually think about what you believe in regards to the thing?

some of you seem to think everyone acts in service of you and your beliefs, instead of their own reasons and beliefs.

I know angry people are gonna start shit bc you have the critical reading skills of a goldfish so again, this isn’t a judgement about the situations that have cropped up in dc spheres last few days. I can’t say anything that hasn’t been said before. It’s about how y’all react to it. Drama isn’t an excuse to become a horrible person for a few days. And if you take any chance to publicly act like a shitty person, maybe you just are a shitty person.

It shows that most of you have no fucking clue of what you’re talking about. Publicly airing your problem w someone isn’t public service.

we all understand that a subjective bad interaction isn’t proof. it doesn’t criminalise someone to be shit person to talk to, but that’s 90% of the rbs.

If you have a gripe with someone, you talk about it in private, or to friends, or block them. And if you’re gonna call someone out, make sure you can line up the facts. Not assumptions.

The vagueness is so distasteful. If you don’t have enough fact to label them with that word publicly, maybe mind your business and dislike the person in quiet. no one said you’re not allowed to dislike someone.

have some fucking class. unless you’ve made sure that what you’re saying in the Whole truth, it probably isn’t. it’s your belief, and your belief isn’t any more important or right than anyone else’s. so many of you are seriously, seriously embarrassing. good job doing absolutely nothing for the betterment of anyone.

#‘I understand why dc is used’ but apparently only the dc you personally wanna consume #?? #people who’ve followed me probably knew how I felt about this thing already so this shouldn’t be much of a surprise #i literally have my own gripes with a lot of the topic discussed #firsthand as a victim #yet every victim ive talked to seems to agree that even our personal gripes don’t set the rule for what someone can use to cope #if you send anonymous hate I really really genuinely don’t support you as a person #I hope you go away #bc some of the reactions to drama in the last year or so has been #foul #they’re not even cosplaying care anymore it’s just straight up any excuse to act crazy #ring ring #tw.discourse #I guess but not really bc I genuinely have nothing to say about the stupid slew of posts that have been going around

Okay but if we actually get tedtrent endgame my crops will be watered for 10000 years

#i will forgive everything bad about this series retroactively #ted lasso #tedtrent #ted x trent #tedependent #pinballing between tedtrent is a delusion and its gotta happen because of trents rule of threes love our chats foot in the door #because sleepless in seattle and a reporter who loved him for so long before a meeting right at the end of the story at an airport #because something more than a silly game of football because follow your bliss and teds deserved to be loved even by those who hurt you #because path less travelled because ted oblivious bisexual because trying something new and flipping straights #because trents outfits and feels like home and red string bracelets and if music be the food of love play on #it would absolutely be out of left field if it happened but also not because its #a million tiny little things that #when you added them all up #they meant we were supposed to be together #and I knew it. I knew it the first time I touched her. It was like coming home #only to no home I'd ever known. #sleepless in seattle #it would be the perfect 'unexpected' 'woke' ending #dont be cowards writers!!!!! #but also you should have done more to set it up ffs

every few years my mind just starts playing "can a matchbox no but a tin cannnnn. fucking meteors" and the only way to appease the earworm monster is by rewatching dnp games circa 2015-18

#dan and phil #dnp #and honestly my continued enjoyment of dnp likely comes from the fact that it wasn't tainted at all by fandom #i was so scared of phans that i created so many rules that i would follow #from not drawing whiskers on my nose to not engaging in active online speculation #it was clear to anyone queer that they weren't Straight but i didn't want to make it bigger than they wanted it to be #so i just got to enjoy the wholesome masculinity that they brought to youtube #and tbh now a lot of youtubers try using that kind of soft masculinity to gain views #but back then that wasn't the case and they were legitimately just being themselves #wow creating healthy boundaries with fandom allows you to enjoy content more whuda thunk

no child in my care has never made me genuinely angry in my 7+ years of directly working in ECE classrooms

but the adults in charge of these programs make me want to do unspeakably violent things

#i am trying so hard to do what i know is best for my kids #but i can never get a straight (let alone logical) answer to any question i bring up #and there are just so many illogical and flat out wrong or developmentally inappropriate rules i have to follow #but the people who've worked for this agency for 20+ years can do whatever tf they want #stochastic thoughts

[simping-on-the-daily]

What if in the Overblot Riddle Wins AU or a scenario where they appear again Ridd-blot does indeed follow the 810 rules the Queen of Hearts created,,,, but they're actually not. If 648th rule states that you must brush your teeth 2 times on nights when you eat turkey, Ridd-blot instead says that you brush your teeth twice on mornings when you eat turkey. If you ever point out that he's wrong, dude will freak the fuck out

#these rules that your mother engrained into you......and when you have a breakdown you actually mix them up or fuck it up #wouldn't it be like.....just kinda sad if ridd-blot actually forgot the rules that his mother spent hours talking about.... #idk i just feel like that would be pretty fucked up??? like he put so much emphasis on following the rules but he's not thinking straight i #n the overblot so he ends up getting even just a tiny thing wrong.... #and he thinks he's in the right cause he thinks his mum was in the right but it's not right cause in his overblot-brain he's actually get t #hem wrong #idk if this even makes sense but yeah #twst #twisted wonderland #riddle rosehearts #twst riddle #twst overblot #overblot riddle #simper says stuff

Hey guys. Look, I don't like making these sort of posts but I'm going to have to, considering the recent influx of new followers. Could you guys please, please read my rules before sending in a request. It's the first post pinned to my page. It is shitting me to tears because I can tell when some people obviously do not read it and I'm going to have to ignore some requests because it is starting to piss me off just how many people are blatantly not even bothering to read through a post designed to help you with what I will and won't write.

#sorry if this post sounded passive aggressive #but #guys i'm gonna be honest #i'm not a content machine #please stop treating me like a doormat #what happened to people even using basic manners when requesting anymore #this is obviously not directed at the sweet anons who follow my rules #this is for the ones i know don't even bother and just go straight to my inbox and basically demand #i'm at a really fucking low point and i am so close to quitting #i'm not joking #i adore the sweet people who actually care about my writing #but this has been a problem for years and i'm reaching my limit
