Okay, so I've reeled over Nancy's relationship with Steve and Jonathan in my head for so long that I just want to put it out there rn.

Analysis/rant up ahead:

As mentioned before, by Murray, Steve is Nancy's safety net. Nancy fooled herself into thinking she was in love with Steve simply because of how afraid she was to be alone, especially after Barb's death. With Jonathan being busy with Will at the time, Nancy couldn't go to him and lean on him. She couldn't just break it off with Steve because without Jonathan she would have no one else. Steve, to her, was better than nothing. She thought that being with Steve would be less scary than having to deal with all her thoughts (guilt, dread, nightmares, fear, etc.) alone. So she fooled herself into thinking she was in love with Steve to stay with him and so she wouldn't lose her only "boulder", simply put, without Steve, Nancy wouldn't have had anybody to fill up the hole in her heart.

I won't say that Nancy "lying" to Steve about her being in love with him was okay, because it wasn't, but I'm not gonna hold it against her. I can empathize with her. I do think that with everything that she went through, she is at least allowed sympathy. She was 16, she wanted to rebel, she wanted to break from the shackles of her upbringing.

(I won't delve into my thoughts on her being a repressed queer, but I do think she is heavily queer coded, purposely or not.)

And now onto why I think Steve and Nancy getting back together this season seems completely and totally off. It has been clear from the beginning that the Duffers were going for Nancy and Jonathan to be a thing, and they wouldn't just build those two up just to have a Nancy fall back into Steve just because (especially after the jancy s3 scene at the end. Why have them all mushy and sweet together just to pull this crap in s4). I do think that because Nancy can tell that Jonathan breaking up with her is imminent, she is starting to feel that fear and dread being riled up inside her again, just like in season two where she convinced herself that she was in love with Steve etc. She can feel that she is going to be alone again so she is searching for the next best person, which, to her, is Steve.

Now with her being Vecna'd, him showing her the guilt she's endured these past years of her life, she's going to have a "wake up call" and realize that she is retrogressing (i.e. going back to her safety net [Steve] and that she is fooling herself into loving him/liking him again.)

Although I don't want Nancy's Vena scene to revolve around her love triangle with Steve and Jonathan (I want it to revolve around her character and her internal struggles alone, please), I do want there to be a moment where Nancy realizes that she doesn't need to be in a romantic relationship with either Steve or Jonathan or anyone else to be okay. She can depend on her friends (Robin could come in at this point because yeah), and for her to know that she is not alone.

The immense amount of joy I would feel if after Vecna, Nancy felt like she was able to understand herself more, is insurmountable.

But, anyway, in short, I want Nancy freed from this prison of a love triangle the Duffers have put her in.

And has this all been talked about before? Maybe, maybe not. Idk. But these are my two cents.

And atp, the only romance I would accept for Nancy is between her and Robin. Either leave Nancy alone OR give her Robin. That's that. (Have my girls hold hands and kiss, please.)

[kerra-and-company]

okay i NEED to hear more about kerra calling riel out in her first whispers meeting bc imagining the scenario is making me lose my shit - @wyldblunt

Aasldjkfaf, okay okay.

So.

Riel Darkwater, secretly the Master of Whispers, comes to Lion's Arch to greet a new recruit. Kid's young, even for a sylvari, but has great references and some decent accomplishments under her belt. Still, can't hurt to meet her in person.

Riel introduces herself, explains that she's an Order agent in Lion's Arch, and the kid--Kerra--nods. But then, she mentions that the Preceptors sent her to be the welcoming committee, and Kerra just flat-out tells her that she's lying.

Probably one of the most what the fuck moments that Riel's had, along with a decent amount of shocked respect.

She manages to recover and tells Kerra, instead, that the Master of Whispers sent her--technically true, and this is something Kerra seems to believe. She manages to get through the rest of the conversation without looking discombobulated and encourages Kerra to go meet up with Tybalt.

And she manages to make it back to Whispers headquarters before actually showing the inner what-the-fuck-ness that she's feeling.

(Kerra, at that point, has just the right mix of confidence, skill, and naivete to call out someone who's basically her new boss/superior officer to her face. She's mildly embarrassed when she thinks back on it in present day, but mostly just proud.)

#gw2 #kerralind #riel darkwater #wyldblunt #i think i also posted a snippet thing about this a while back but i can't find it for some reason as;ldjfsad #but basically yeah #riel's just out here going through the basics and kerra stops; blinks; and says 'you're lying' #to the LEADER of an incredibly old spy network #and she's RIGHT #the reveal of riel's identity later down the line definitely makes kerra go 'ah. okay. yeah that tracks' a;sldkfjsafd #(with very wide eyes) #but ye #thanks a bunch for the ask! :D #it's not the most complicated moment (and luckily for riel it's just the two of them there when it happens) #but i still love it

ppl of tumblr:

(to clarify: if youre like say "girl but with wiggly hand gesture" but 100% sure of that that would be "yea i got it 👍", vagueness of gender itself/descriptors are not whats being asked for here, just like how much u feel Certain about it. also, should be obvious but cis ppl feel free to vote, whether cis or "cis" or "...cis?")

if u feel like it: put your gender plus sureness, how you feel about your personal level of sureness, and your favorite bug in the tags

If you don't mind my asking, how do you go about drawing fat? :3

JUST THE EXCUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR

So, for me personally, a lot of the time when I draw fat characters, I'm not looking to specifically capture the specifics of fat as much as the feel of fat. Bulkier, rounder shapes in the right places that has a feeling of weight to em! A lot of that is intuition and simplification at this point, but it all works on the same frame as just any ol' person. Like take this-

For example. This is the basis for any body shape, not just the more average one that it may imply. Sure- it can be that average body shape:

But also a fat one too!

And a big part of that is knowing where fat usually tends to bunch up on the body, so lets take a look piece by piece! (Please keep in mind this is very simplified, and not completely precise in some parts)

THE FACE: Cheeks (in purple) and especially the chin (in light blue) are the places where a lot of the fat is gonna wanna gather and round out on your face! Additionally, theres a small pocket of fat beneath the cranium on the backside of your head. It's small, but it is there. I believe fat can build up elsewhere like the bridge of your nose and forehead, but generally speaking, you're gonna have a whole lot more buildup in other places first.

THE TORSO: A lot of the fat built up on the torso is gonna be sent to your tummy. More cushioning for vital organs, mostly out of the way, it just makes sense. Additionally, the lower backs fat builds up and joins with a patch of fat on your sides that forms what is typically referred to as the love handles to make that double belly look. Along with this, the immediate next target for the torso is the breasts, followed by the upper back!

THE ARMS: For this limb, a VERY notable amount of the fat present builds up on the tricep and bicep areas, lessening once you get towards the flexor and extensor areas. You can almost think of the arm as a sort of triangular shape, wide side starting from the shoulder and tapering towards the hand, which itself mostly builds up fat around the back of the hand and the fingers. The shoulders themselves don't build up too much fat unless you got a lot

THE LEGS: And finally, you can think of the legs having pretty similar curves to what you're probably already used to thinking. The front of the thighs getting a big buildup, along with the back of the calves, the other parts being flatter in turn. As far as the feet go- similarly to the hands, the top of the feet, along with the heels get most of the buildup, as fat on your soles would impede mobility. The glute, hip and crotch area will also especially build up fat, lending to the same triangular shape that you can see in the arm!

A big thing to note with fat is that it tends to taper off towards joints. Your knees, elbows, shoulders, hips, and all the other places are gonna have significantly less fat so that you remain mobile and flexible, as that's important!

Now that we have an idea of where fat builds up on the body, you might have something that looks kinda like this

Which yes, does demonstrate a solid understanding of the places fat builds up, lacks the weight you're probably trying to convey, which brings us to out next point! Fat is well... heavy! Gravity is what gives fat much of it's shape, especially as you tread towards larger and larger bodies.

This is demonstrated really well on the arms especially-

Those big ol' bits of fat'll really start to sag when left hanging, and they will squish like hell if they run into something. I like to think of these bits of fat as big ol' ovals that squash and stretch depending on if there's an obstacle in their way or not

These are the important shapes to remember when it comes to the weightiness of fat! If you take all of this into mind, you should be getting something a lot closer to that shape you've been after!

Oh, and always remember that fat bodies come in all variety of shapes and sizes! Play around with a whole lot, and seek out all the resources you can! it'll really lend to your knowledge when it comes to this kinda stuff!

And as I always recommend when it comes to learning art- look at what your favorite artists do with fat bodies. See what you really like about the fat bodies they draw and try to replicate it in your own work, I promise you it's one of the most helpful things ever.

This is like the most basic of basics when it comes to drawing fat bodies though. If there's any additional thing about fat bodies, or maybe you want clarification on something, don't be afraid to ask! If there's enough to cover, I'll make an addition to this post!

#hat answers #my art #design talk #tutorials #yeah im unfortunately pretty tired so this gets a liiiitle rambly at the end but i think this covers like the basic basics #i hope this was helpful at all #and again dont be afraid to ask questions and stuff #if theres enough traction/questions on this i will most definitely try to clear up as much as i can in an addition to the post #whoops this took a bit!

some offense to that person but you're shocked that the annoyingly white liberal fanfiction website that insists racism and pedo content is freedom speech, with members of the board that are so sinophobic an asian person having an opinion sends them into nuclear defense mode, and is like 77% white is.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................zionist? we're at the point where u shouldnt be like omg the devils sacrament is backing a genocide i can't believe i volunteered here like why tf were u volunteering at the devils sacrament at the first place? like you should put the pieces together and figure out u are indeed at the devils sacrament

#tumblr leftists are so useless its crazy #youve been told time and time again all these -isms and -phobias are basically in a bogo deal 😭😭😭 #like yeah the white fanfic site dont gaf abt a non european genocide!

[summergirl2408]

Ya know the english language is generally fine and all but y'all just don't have decent words for some german essentials

For example I will never not hate the english word for Brötchen

I mean I know if I say either bread roll or bun people are gonna generally understand what I mean but neither of those words actually encompass the full range of german Brötchen

To me this is a bread roll:

And this is a bun:

But both of those words do not feel correct for any of these things:

Those are proper Brötchen and calling them bread roll or bun just feels so wrong

#jessi rambles #german stuff #Brötchen basically just means little bread btw #another word that just doesn't have the same vibe in english is Eichhörnchen btw #like yeah squirrel is technically the correct word but Eichhörnchen just has a completely different (and more accurate) vibe
