#guess I just need to practice

Different Italian anon, but the thing with Tuscan C is that it's pronounced like a very strong H sound, which is extra weird cuz the letter H makes no sound in Italian, normally. It sounds the way Spanish pronounce the J. We say it's "aspirato". So then people from there will say things like Hoha Hola (coca cola), and it's funny. It's also extremely contagious, I got family in Florence, you spend 3 days with them you start doing it too before you even realize.

.

#that sounds really endearing actually #answered #anonymous #this is entirely beside the point but I still feel sort of bamboozled by languages that have silent letters #or when letters have multiple pronunciations that vary wildly from word to word #and when the sound and the letter don't seem to match like how J sounds very close to H in Spanish like you mentioned #I'm generalizing a little but none of these are really a thing in Finnish #in Finnish words are pretty much always pronounced the way they are written if that makes sense #I don't know the language terminology but I think phonetic spelling is what you call it #each letter represents a specific sound and you string those together #when you hear a word you can always tell how it's written and when you read a word you know how to pronounce it #even if you're encountering the word for the first time and have no idea what it means #it's comparatively direct and predictable there's practically no need for guessing or memorizing #also the stress is always on the first syllabe and it's so subtle it might as well not be there at all #which sometimes makes spoken Finnish and Finnish accent sound kind of monotonous there isn't a lot of intonation #I was extremely confused by the concept of spelling bees as a kid #anyway long tag ramble but this stuff is just interesting to me

there's nothing orym would ask of the other hells that he wouldn't do himself, which is sort of the problem, really

#critical role #cr spoilers #orym of the air ashari #bells hells #if you don’t have a homegrown curse you can use to your advantage (moon powers) storebought is fine (deal with a hag)! #and its not even sunk cost fallacy or feeling like he needs to make the deal worth it i think. this is just what he feels is necessary #and its his own self worth and the value he places on his own life vs the importance of this cause. reflected back on the others #how the rest of the hells have adopted this mindset but with wavering conviction and doubt - not really fitting quite right #while it fits orym like a glove. bc that's who he is. it's what he's been taught. bc this conflict is his past and his present #and as far as he's considered it. his future! #me this morning: i will not get back into orymposting. orymposting is the mind killer. #me now: #eta: i guess this could be disputed by him saying fearne would have to be the one to take imogen out pre-solstice. #but i've always seen that as a purely practical 'who would actually be capable of doing this' issue as opposed to sentimentality. #he was fully ready to cut dorian in exu. however he may feel about the act his resolve is not an issue!

I feel like Eddie is the type of guy to always have a slide whistle in his pocket and uses it to make incidental sound effects for the conversations that happen around him.

Nobody knows where he gets them all from and they don’t ask incase he takes one out and starts playing with it.

Wayne is so happy every time he loses one of the whistles. He absolutely never tells Eddie when he finds one of the numerous whistles that have rolled under the couch. He has an agreement with Steve to dispose of them secretly and securely.

Except one night when Steve’s driving around town with Eddie, he opens the glove box and there’s a bag full of whistles (seriously nobody knows where he’s getting them from. And in bulk?)

And Eddie is all ‘HEY!’ Which immediately makes Steve tense up in preparation for an argument with his easily antagonised boyfriend about the possible theft of offending musicals instruments.

But then Eddie continues with ‘more whistles! I didn’t take you for a fan dude!!’

And promptly shoves one up each of his nostrils and one in his mouth and tries to play them all at once while demanding Steve watch instead of watching the road.

Steves going to have to think of a new hiding spot.

#corroded coffin DOES have a slide whistle only song #they ALL get whistle solos #Wayne HAS had to deal with hours of slide whistle practice becuase eddie has told him ‘Wayne I NEED to be a master of my craft’ #’I mean it’s like telling Beethoven to stop playing’ #Wayne doesn’t think it’s like that at all #pre-agreement #Steve comes in to the trailer one afternoon and has to physically shake wayne to get his attention to ask what the hell the shrieking is #Wayne just hands a pair of ear plugs to Steve and points to the couch #the trials and tribulations of dating eddie munson #WEEE guess who originally was only going to post the first paragraph and put everything else in the tags #stranger things #eddie munson #steddie #steve harrington #I’ve got crumbs friebds I’m so sorry

#i fucking love the spider-signal. i love it so much. #sci talks comics #it has NO PRACTICAL USE other than for spider-man to say “bitch guess who.” #thats all it exists for. its so useless . it's so useless. i cousl cry about it. this is so supervillain core it's such an ego thing. #spider-man just wants to strike fear into the hearts of criminals. #by putting his silly little completely unintimidating adorable little spider-man mask emblem up on the wall for everyone to see. #announces his arrival. like the diva that he is. #its such a power play too like do you not want the tactical advantage of surprise??? no. he knows he doesn't need it. #watch out criminals here i come . bitch you better know Who i Am. prepare your ass. #i lveo eg him. i loooooveeee him. #dramatic little idiot. diva. diva. he's all about the show. #guess who's coming to beat your ass. little ol' me! spider-man!

experimentin w shit heehee

#fake peppino #arts #mine #horror #eye strain #guh #body horror #a lil tho but i just think thats a more commonly blacklisted tag than 'horror' #spooky month is the only time im like. i guess i should TRY to draw spooky shit #i always feel like my style is too loose and roumnd to convey it in the way i want to #but spooky month is like okay u can fuck around and fuck up and itll still be good. the spirit of spookyness n all that #i love horror so much but it feels so hard to grasp. like what is ACTUALLY scary yknow? #its very easy to say whats not scary but then its also so hard to stop urself from doing the same things lol #to be fair. stories and 'motion' (through the use of comics or animations) are far easier ways to convey things like suspense n stuff #still art is like. well that is an image alright lol #not entirely true tho; theres an artist i dont know the name of that did trailcam images that were photorealistic #and theyre sooooooooo fuckin creepy #like when i get around to doing more fp art i wanna use that and the lighting in it as practice #okay thats it i think; gonna draw furry shit bc i need comms yay yippeeeeeee

Entrapdak Positivity Month 2023 Days 9-10: Invite + Argument

Mkay story behind this one: one of many parties in Bright Moon, everybody promised to bring something they cooked/baked themselves. And Entrapta was very excited to make something for her friends! Hordak saw her the night before the event, all glowing and happy, so when some of Entrapta's friends had the audacity to dismiss her dish like this he could no longer stay in his quiet corner (the dish was still terrible)

#entrapdak #entrapdak positivity month #hordak #entrapta #spop #shera #cirus doodles things #sketch #another prompt another comic layout practice i guess T-T #btw didnt mean to bash on these two specifically it's just that hordak needed to yelll friendship lessons at sOmEoNe

Very important conferences.

#witch hat tag #orufrey #some real serious discussions goin on in this atelier today. dont u doubt it. #agott is the only one who has ever thought about this because she is a 12 year old lesbian and UMM..FRIEND? LIKE FRIEND? IS THAT..LEGAL??? #this is all i drew today because silly things like this take hours lol. at least it's practice for poses -_- #i got the pattern of the girls' dresses wrong but i couldn't be bothered to change halfway through. #don't worry if you're like what is the naakiwan downs. is that name even mentioned in the main manga #ANYWAY i KEEP thinking about what if it's actually banned for professors and watchful eyes to date like that would make a lot of sense. #like maybe it should be banned. SO??? are they just low-key Aware of what the deal is and they're just Putting their feelings aside #until graduation??? take my tassel as an unspoken reminder of how i feel?? living together trial period?? this feels like it's truly it #When we're free to be together........ Sensei loves homophobia parallels without there actually being homophobia #Let's invent reasons why men cant be together. Ummm well whatever. i'm screaming in my head but it's fine. #this will probably form the theme of my orufrey for a while. i've thought of this before but for some reason today it's big for me. #i guess the tassels might not specifically be a part of that since they exchanged them before tower of books #and qifrey made his mysterious decision to be a teacher after that and..well whatever. I need more of backstory and just..everything? #But i also don't mind when vinanna interrupts my wishes with just a chapter of just being really dreamy? I love witch hat?

this is a follow up to that bonus thing i drew forever ago from this post. there is no point behind this comic existing. here u go

[ID: The first panel is black, speech bubbles of different colors reading, “Oh!” and “Gordon?” The second panel is Gordon groggily opening his eyes. The third panel is Benrey and Tommy looking down at him. Tommy says, “Mr. Freeman, you fainted! And it— you’re laying on the Chuck-E-Cheese floor!”

In the bottom part of the image, Tommy continues with, “I don’t think it’s... clean.” He looks concerned, hand outstretched towards Gordon. Gordon, still disoriented, reassures him by saying, “It’s fine, Tommy.” Beneath the bubble, indicating he’s talking quietly, Gordon says, “Hey, Darnold.” To which Darnold replies with, “Hi, Gordon.” Gordon’s head is resting in Darnold’s lap, Darnold looking down at him with a nervous smile.

Tommy keeps nervously rambling, “Suh—  Sunkist was so worried! You hit your head when you fell, we— the Chuck-E-Cheese first aid, um, booklet said you might be... concussed...” Gordon replies with a tired, “Okay, Tommy.” Sunkist is napping, resting both his paw and head on Gordon’s chest and stomach while Gordon scratches his head. Bubby’s lab coat is draped over Gordon like a blanket. Benrey is staring at him in a sort of daze, peach-pink sweet voice beginning to bubble from their mouth. /End ID.]

#i genuinely don't know why i was so insistent on drawing this. fun comic practice i guess. this is a mess #i thought it'd be funny if tommy just unnecessarily keeps mentioning chuck e cheese whenever she can #gordon's not upset w her he just has a lot of body trauma and needs to sleep for three days straight #heart emoji #hlvrai #gordon feetman #benrey #tommy coolatta #darnold #sunkist

[the999thstar]

Somebody tell me why I can't stop picturing rpf!Matthew dancing when I listen to Texas Hold 'Em ???

#matthew tkachuk #bonus #mattdrai #bc i guess my headcanon is this is a morning after #where matthew is being a little shit but actually kinda good at the dance #and Leon's charmed but annoyed about it #classic ik #also i acknowledge my need for more practice on faces & if you squint a different way this could totally be Tyler Seguin & Jamie Benn #which i also love just hadnt realized Tyler 'only steers & queers in texas' Seguin would have been a good option for this art #until i was already all the way committed to mattdrai

[superbellsubways]

was doing some quick anatomy/body type practices before i go to bed and i realized wow fatter bodies are more fun to draw for me than thinner ones.. i mean i do like drawing both but if i had to choose.. id choose chub lmao

#dont make rhis weird i just like drawing rounder stuff lol #i honestly have trouble drawing skinny bodies sometimes? #i guess it feels more natural to me to draw chubbier bodies too considering I myself am chubby. i know how fat works #rlly need to practice different body types more im never gonna know how to draw muscles correctly 💔

[maudiemoods]

[fauxbia]

Your art is so beautiful and otherworldly. I love the way you shade and all the minuscule details you add to every work you create. The eye shines on the characters you draw are always so warm, and there’s something so incredibly soft and distinct about the lines you draw. I love seeing your name come across my dash because I know it’s either going to be a really funny reblog or something utterly heartbreakingly beautiful that you’ve created. Your art style fits so well with Rain World and Sky that I genuinely thought you were an official artist for both games. I love and appreciate your dedication to Outer Wilds. I have your drawings and the dialogue list saved in my bookmarks whenever I need to enjoy it again. Your original art and OCs are also just so incredible. You make me want to improve my own art because the things you create inspire me to try harder and do more. You’re so cool and special and amazing and I’m so happy I started following you all those months ago. Thank you. I hope you receive good soup and tasty drinks for the rest of time.

W WA???????????? WAUGHHH?????

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT I

THANK YOU??? SO MUCH???? WAUGHH??????

It’s 2 am anon you can’t DO THIS TO ME— /lh

thank you so much it really means a lot, especially since Ive been having a really hard time with self esteem lately… so… thank you so much for taking the time to say something so kind and thoughtful

I hope you, too, receive All The Good Soup <3 and goodnight I am going the hell to sleep

#awaugh…. Awauhhh…….. crying #I mean I know my art can be *good* sometimes I’m even really proud of how it looks #but *that good?* it isn’t really right? I know I have so many areas I could and should improve in.. #but that only comes with time and practice I guess. #I’m a lot better now than I was a few months ago so… just keep moving forward and maybe i *can* pass for an official artist someday #who knows #thank you so much anon I needed that
