i think the reason why my brain can't really get funky with country music is that it is often too descriptive. like don't get me wrong i love country roading taking me homing as much as the next guy. but when mr. cowboy hat tells me he's driving down a very specific road in texas in a red ford f-150 that has a dent on the left side i'm just like. well now i can't think of anything else. like anything else. and i hate that.

#i hope that this doesn't upset too many country fans #i've tried my best #i just. can't do it mate. #shitpost #shower thoughts #maladaptive daydreaming #daydreaming #music taste

PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!

regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!

regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.

gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!

no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!

Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!

honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3

#also: drinking A Soda or A Coffee isn't going to completely dehydrate you if you're drinking other fluids tbqh!!! #its fine!!!!! its fine!!!!! #drinks #heat #dehydration #this post exists because i'm mad at misinfo but also #this is for my homies who hate the taste of water and struggle to stay hydrated #because people have told them over and over again You Must Absolute Drink Water And Nothing Else and so they just don't drink anything #listen!! hey!!! whoever told you that was lying!!!! #drinking Any Fluids At All (yes even with caffeine!!) is better than Not Drinking Anything #please hydrate!!!! it's okay if that hydration isn't water!!!! #honestly i tried to be extremely non confrontational in this post but im pretty sure i've seen people suggest flavored water packets #but say no fruit juice ever. and that's insane. #it's all fluids baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #so long as you are drinking fluids you are combatting dehydration #YES water is the best option HOWEVER. if you drink things that aren't water that's also okay! i promise!!!!!!!!

We've never dedicated, dedicated the right songs to each other

Maybe it's because nobody ever talks about us

We've never said the words, we've never said the right words to each other

Not even, not even silence by mistake

There's plenty of fountains in town, but the thirst never quenches

It could be the distraction,

It could, it could, it could be that there's always the Sahara in my mouth

There's plenty of shops in town, but in the end they always close down

And I'm the only one left there giving change to the world

If in the streets, or amidst chaos, your name would rain down

I would like to drink it one letter at a time, amongst thousands of people

Station after station, If I miss the right stop it is your fault

We've never really seen, we've never really joked with each other

Not even, not even in silence by mistake

The town meets your desert, I've been watering it for ever

It will be my mission,

it could, it could, it could be that now there's a flower in my mouth

If in the streets, or amidst chaos, your name would rain down

I would like to drink it one letter at a time, amongst thousands of people

Station after station, If I miss the right stop it's my fault

But without you who am I, just a pile of unpaid bills

A book written in French that I, that I don't even know that well

If you have to go I'll pay

Sorry if I'm thinking too loudly, sorry if I'm thinking too loudly

If in the streets, or amidst chaos, your name would rain down

I would like to drink it one letter at a time, amongst thousands of people

Station after station, If I miss the right stop the fault is ...

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #I tried *so* hard to draw deflated wwx (per the reference to the garfield comic) but I could not get figure it out. #Yes lwj is straddling wwx. He's been shaking him this whole time. #LWJ has also been shaking. Like a nervous little dog. #What else is he to do when the love of his life collapses in front of him? #I also like to imagine that going through the nightmarish empathy showed on wwx's real body too. As in - he was thrashing about. #I am fond of my headcanon that wwx kicks and yells in his sleep and lwj is just getting a preview of it. #And oh my god. Am I ever a fan of accidental bonks (in fiction. I feel immense guilt for them in reality) #I'm really excited for several comics coming up.

1 : Soap never had any idea that woman wanted him carnally, he's not the most observant on that front (he never noticed Ghost flirting with him and thought his love was one-sided for the longest time, but tbf Ghost was also very discreet about it)

2 : He sewed the hat, eyepatch and hook himself, because he's the best uncle and then got distracted as he was wrapping it up, so now he's watching a tutorial on youtube about how to build a voice box. Honestly how hard could it be, he builds explosive devices as a hobby (listen, Price doesn't have to know)

3 : He is out to his family, but doesn't want his mum to know he has a boyfriend because he knows she'll insist on meeting him and welcoming him to the family and making a big deal out of this, and he knows that Ghost isn't ready for that.

4 : Christmas is obviously a very hard time for Ghost, but he is very very in love with Soap and some days still can't believe that it's mutual, but then his Johnny does something like that and his head gets quieter while he's melting a bit.

5 : For the people that didn't see my other post : the bird is a Caique parrot, and they're supposedly very energetic, a bit loud, medium sized, unintelligible, very friendly to what they consider their family, adventurous and danger prone, with an explosive personality and a hate of boredom, so basically the adhd bird.

Do you ever think about how none of the Hobbits died in the Shire? They all left it when their time had come, as if they couldn't bear it to face death in the land they all went through so much for.

I mean, imagine how those goodbyes must have been for them and for their families. We know of Sam and Elanor but what about Pippin and his son Faramir? Or Merry and his potential children? How did they say goodbye to them, presuming that they knew this journey east would be their last one? That they would never see their loved ones again? Had they made peace with that?

Also the way how their final destination mirror eachother: Frodo, Bilbo and Sam's last destination, the undying lands, the west, the home of immortal heroes from ages past; and Merry and Pippin's last destination, Minas Tirith, the east, the home of mortal heroes of the present.

Just thinking about the fact that none of the Hobbits stayed in the Shire until the very end

#tolkien #lotr #the hobbit #frodo baggins #sam gamgee #merry brandybuck #pippin took #bilbo baggins #i keep coming back to this thought from time to time #and i can't put my feelings into words properly (trust me i tried in multiple different languages) #this is the best I've got

could i perhaps ask what brush(es) youve been using in your work recently? specifically for lineart; or if you use some kind of effect to get that specific look? totally cool if you cant say for whatever reason or dont wanna give it out, just thought i'd ask ^_^

I usually use the default photoshop soft round brush :-)

Theres not much of a line (no pun intended) between my sketches and lineart these days I usually start very rough and just keep redrawing over the last sketch on a new layer until I decide it's neat enough to color. Sometimes that only takes one or two passes but sometimes it takes more. After that I use a new layer on multiply with a different color to darken parts of the lines I want to emphasize and clip a lighter color over areas I want to make more faint

#I color on a multiply layer over my lines #because I usually have a bunch of sketch/lineart layers and it's easier that way lol #for textured brushes ive been using kyle websters runny inkers recently but for most things I like the soft brush best. I color with it too #ask #anonymous #I've tried recreating this brush in clip studio but it's just not the same I fear

Do you have a group discord server? If others want to chill and interact with you. Just wondering

That aside just hoping you’re doing okay Blastic. Still, if you’re not your gotta a lot people care about you.

I look forward to seeing how the rest of the game goofs.

—goofball anon

I don't and sadly I don't think I will make one. It would be fun to interact with people who enjoys my work and wants to chat with me but I just feel it would be too much work for me to handle a discord server. So at least for now I'm not planning to make one.

#and how I've been doing?? #there been ups and downs #maybe bit better?? At least compared to what it was when this month started #I felt so numb for some reason #I just wanted to lie in bed and do nothing because nothing was making me happy. Not even drawing or playing games #I do still get these kind of days but it hasn't been that bad and I have got some amount motivation back to draw again at least #wanting to play games though still have been very low #but I'm taking small steps #I'm also sorry for not having much good news and that I've been so quiet nowadays #I just been struggling a lot what to say and anxiety isn't making things any easier #but I want to thank everyone who are still here hanging around and enjoying my work #even though I have these struggles I'm happy that you guys still want to support me<33 Thank you<33 #not sure did I word these right but I tried my best #and I will also do my best not to give up and keep on going 🌱 #ask #anon

dream and hob are really just that post that was like 'introverts only make friends when an extrovert forcibly adopts them'

#hob picking dream up by the scruff of his neck: you're my friend now and we're having soft tacos later! #that was death's goal she was like hob is powerful and outgoing enough to rope dream into a friendship. i'm sure of it #dream's never had a friend because he never approaches anyone or tries and no one approaches him because he's scary and intimidating #except hob who doesn't give a fucK!! #hob: me and the best friend i pulled by not knowing when to quit! #little does hob know once he wins dream's favor dream will never let go of his hand and be completely obsessed with him for the rest oftime #that's how it works #dreamling #i feel u dream i've never initiated a relationship ever either
