//tw joints cracking//

u can't tell me they weren't freaked out the first time they witnessed this

[id: It is a comic of April and the turtles from rottmnt. In the first image, April is cracking her back and her neck, oblivious, before looking up. In the second image, April looks at the turtles, confused, asking: “y’all good?”. The turtles look back at her while huddled together, Mikey is on Raph’s lap while Raph holds him close to his chest and Leo and Donnie are leaning on each of Raph’s arms, they all look at April with expressions of shock and horror on their faces./ end id]

#cracking joints sounds way too much like smth to do with drugs yall #idk how else to say it 😭 #edit: i changed it 👍 #anyway april and i are one and the same #im always cracking my back and my fingies #tw joint cracking #jic #rottmnt #rottmnt fanart #cositos #rottmnt april #rottmnt leo #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt raph #rottmnt mikey

OK heres zeno coloring tutorial 2.0 !!!! i'm gonna do it kind of in chapters i guess?

chapter 1: choosing base colors

when i'm choosing base colors i always pick everything based on a specific off-white! my 'default' off-white is this kind of very light cyan color but i change it regularly based on character designs/environment/lighting whatever,, examples here!

for callie in this piece, i based everything off of this pinkish color! her skin tone, tentacles, outfit etc are all chosen to harmonise/contrast with the pink color

and with this piece, i used a slightly darker blueish color as they're in space but there's still a lot of light... and the lighter colors in the background (the explosion) make a sense of depth i guess? i used that blue color and chose similar cool colors to harmonise with it!

so i more or less base the tone of the colors in the piece off the off-white! warm off-white = warmer colors (like the nova valentine's day art) and cold off white = cooler colors (like the explosion nova and paro art). but i switch up this formula often !!

chapter 2: coloring specific things

here i'll go over some specific textures and stuff like skin and hair ... skin first !!

for skin, i like to use a variety of tones! there are different ways to draw cooler and warmer skintones that other people have gone over way better than i have but basically for skin i use this part of the color wheel and pick the darker tones of oranges/reds/pinks etc. (for darker skintones, i go to the middle of the color square thingy, and for lighter tones, i usually slide down the upper-right side)

when it comes to shading skintones, it's pretty straightforward, just a darkish-purple and a pinkish color on 100% multiply, and i always add a little shadow on the nose and blush becuz i think it's cute

(also i like to add reflective spots on darker skin tones sometimes because 1. darker skin tones reflect in real life and 2. it's fun)

next up is hair... this is very specific to my artstyle but i like to add 3-6 long oval line thingies to the hair to mimic reflection ! it looks cool, it's a good way to show off different colors in the design and i like to switch it up sometimes based on a character's personality!! (like how the frye pic above has a lighting bolt shaped hair thing, or how my teto design has a wing shaped hair thing to mimic her wings in her chimera form!) (note: it doesn't always need to be lighter than the actually hair color and it usually isn't)

for other materials like metal, screens, etc etc... i just add random X marks lol... and reflections!!!

(also, just a general thing, but adding little saturated lines to shading really adds depth and color imo!!)

i would put more tips with refs but tumbles only allows 10 images per post ;w; so i will simply close off by saying don't be afraid to add overlays and filters to your art!! overlays can really help harmonise colors and filters like brightness and contrast can help colors pop... try not to completely rely on them for color choice tho!!

and that's basically it !!! this is not a definitive 'how to draw/color' post... i am not a color theorist... i just wanted to show people how i choose colors cuz a lot of people say they like my color choices! honestly i don't know much myself but i hope that this and the philosophy of 'do what looks good' will help you all o_ob thank you and goodbye

#long post #ah its so freeing to have zero character limit on this site #i did want to add more pics tho 😭 #i would make a part two but i dont have much else to say #hope this helps people maybe #also idk how to add a cut/'continue reading' thingy on mobile so if someone could tell me how id appreciate it 😭😭😭

[yyyaammmmmm]

theyre both trans bc i say so!

alsp an assortment of sketches from this cutsey footsie little au of mine where basically its XXX years into the future (omg! reincarnation! so unique!) but obvi Vash is still og vash bc plant core. he opened up a little plant shop bc once Earth and No Mans land started trade, plants and vegetation became so much more common. and then Mr Woldwood is a mechanic! he mostly does bike mods (angelina core) but he often is js doing little repairs around ye old hopeland!

and then they meet and kiss a lot and wolfwood has an incurable heart disease and he dies and vash agonizes over losing wolfwood so young again :3!

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d. wolfwood #trigun #nah bc ive lwk had ideas like this bouncing around my head #ever since i saw nightows baseball modern au #d in nicholas d wolfwood stands for doomed by the narrative fr 🗣️🗣️ #also literally so sorry for my horrendous renditions of vashwood #i swear i cant draw either of them for the life of me 😭💔 #its ok whatever for the vashwood grind #i love them. #also first like. actual post idk how else to say it. first AU post actually #guys! #mechanicau #🗣️ BARK

redacted headcanons if they were filipino 🇵🇭

please bear w me and my scattered thoughts😭 also credits to @pandoraroid for the vincent hc it's so real

- when the shaw pack gets together they do the family gathering thing of making the kids have a dance competition for money

- angel doesn't know how to commute (public transportation) and david would have to come along with them on a jeep to help them learn

"davey ikaw pumara para sakin please nahihiya ako" "kaya mo yan, dali lalagpas na tayo oh"

("davey can you make the jeep stop please i'm too shy" "you can do it, cmon we're gonna miss our stop")

- at a jollibee birthday party david would always help the shaw kids win the "bring me game" . that shit is SERIOUS for him i would bet

- milo would overdress all the time  . kahit anong ganap he will be layering IN SPITE of the heat. he'd also be called "estetik" and he HATES IT  .

(estetik: from aesthetic, used to make fun of people who dress up)

*(kahit anong ganap: whatever event there is)

- also, milo and sweetheart ukay-ukay dates perhaps. . . . but i think they'd both get carried away because they'd be blessed by the ukay gods and forget they were ever on a date

(ukay-ukay: secondhand shops in the ph!! mainly clothes)

vincent and lovely  . aircon humor x kanal humor CMAWWNN. the vampire houses alone r so extra and fancy vincent would for sure have the conyo/filipino rich ppl accent too like. 

(vin telling lovely abt his first summit): vin: "ok so inisip ko like, paano ako gaganti kay william during the summit, right? so i decided i was going to show up looking like as the, pinaka-antithesis of what he wants me to look like."

lovely, absorbing nothing of what he just said: "HUY antithesis???????"

(vin: "ok so i thought, how am i gonna get back at william during the summit, right?; ...looking like the (most)antithesis of what he wants me to look like.")

(aircon humor: humor associated with wealthy people, priv school kids, "out of touch" humor

kanal humor: "public school humor" , vulgar and relatable

conyo: someone who speaks filo+english in a pretentious way, mostly due to being raised wealthy . idk they always have that rich ppl accent)

- i can't imagine guy being filipino no matter what i do. however, i think honey is for sure filo (projecting) and they wld have a complete filo friend group  . honey wld still have that gruff exterior but their walls r down, and their friends would joke that honey and guy r the "nonchalant x oa" pairing and guy wld have NO clue what they're all talkin abt.

(oa: over acting, usually used negatively to call someone dramatic, but with the "nonchalant x oa" it's kinda similar to the introvert x extrovert trope)

- when honey brings guy along to hang out w/ their filo friends, he just looks at them mesmerized 90% of the time they're all talking . afterwards, when they ask abt it, guy says that honey is way more expressive when they speak in filipino and he thinks its rlly cute (IDK. I FEEL THIS ONE IN MY BONES .)

- i also have a hc that honey likes to draw so . stem strand/course to art course pipeline baby (many filipinos can relate🔥🔥🔥)

general idea / kinda just a joke but honestly it'd be so hard to allude to being a vamp in the philippines . 

"pag natamaan yung balat ko ng araw, nasusunog ako" "beh nasa pinas ka, lahat tayo nasusunog"

("when the sunlight hits my skin, i start to burn" "beh you're in the philippines, we're all burning")

#if you saw me post this before no you didnt #i may have projected with the honey hcs but we won't speak on it babes #IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN THE LOVELY ONE #its like when someone says a big word #and someone else repeats in a higher tone to make fun of it #because its a word not commonly used in conversation #alam nyo un diba😭 #HUYYYYY #redacted audio #redacted asmr #redactedverse #redacted headcanons #philippines mentioned #redacted david #redacted milo #redacted vincent #redacted guy #redacted honey

the writers on here making the miguel fics need to remember his fangs inject paralytic venom hes not a real vampire it was just a joke in the movie 😭

oh but i still want him to bite me don’t get me wrong idgaf if they have venom 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

#the copious amounts of smut i’ve seen with this man and the fangs is crazy #y’all need to tone it DOWN wheres the fluff omg?? #there’s like so many smut x reader fics clogging the miguel o’hara tag and people can express their creative liberties or whatever but it’s #getting CRAZY #like why is almost nobody talking about his character and writing an analysis on him #AND WHY ARE SO MANY FICS WRITING HIM TO BE SOME FERAL AND MEAN BEAST #firstly it’s feels racist to write a brown latino man that way. #second it feels fetishiz-y with how people only sexualize the fuck outta him and talk about nothing else when it comes to him #to add onto that people are drawing him with a MUZZLE on #at first all this didn’t really register in my head as bad but after seeing so much i see it 😭 #also some spanish speakers have said people are using incorrect spanish when writing dialogue for him and thats kinda funny #don’t use google translate please 💀 #miguel o’ hara #spiderman 2099 #across the spiderverse #i also saw someone say miguel would not be a good partner or something and i just know you didn’t pay attention #and i wont go into why because its spoilers but we have seen him be soft and happy with someone he cares about it’s just trauma that has #made him mean and depressed #he was obviously projecting onto miles in the movie when he acted like that let’s be fr #why am i writing a novel down here idk i just wanted to talk about it a little #i love the smut (trust me) but pleaaseee don’t start being fetishize-y

I'm not on t yet and it's already so bad. how to prepare

Prepare? Nuh uh. It just happens.

The rabid animal phase does go away, sort of.

The level stays mostly the same but you learn to ignore it.

If you can do it, exercising helps.

But when it hits randomly at the worst moment I’m sorry there is nothing to be done LMAO

#also you will be so hungry #hungrier than u ever thought possible #that part does mostly go away #I’m sorry idk what else to tell ya #idk how different hrt is compared to ur body just doin it #like idk how sudden it is. i guess it depends on what dose ur on #it’s just like. oh ok i guess that’s happening now well alrighty #also the mind and body disconnect WILL HAPPEN #ur body just starts doing shit and ur sitting there like damn I gotta study for this quiz #that also… doesn’t go away but #ok what I’m trying to say is after like uhh 2 years you’ll just be used to the bullshit #GOOD LUCK.. #how did this become the topic of anons recently i feel like a middle school teacher 😭 #is this what being the oldest sibling is like idk im the family baby but no one told me shit LOL #ask #asks #non voice post

I struggle immensely with the “Nina is the Most Pure of Heart™” narrative, not because I think she’s a bad person, but because I just don’t think she’s any more morally sound than anybody else in the damn house

#how easy would it have been to just say that the only reason it had to be Nina who could wear the Mask of Anubis and go to the afterlife #is because she is the chosen one #the mantle of which i remind you was literally created by ANUBIS as punishment for stealing the cup #so it stands to reason that Nina (chosen by Anubis) is the ONLY ONE who could successfully wear the Mask of ANUBIS #not bc she’s ‘pure of heart’ or some shit #i can appreciate that rufus had to go to super mega hell or whatever #but maybe that was bc the gods had enough of his shit #maybe instead of that being the fate of anyone who’s heart isn’t squeaky clean #it could maybe have just not worked 😭 #idk assigning a higher moral position to nina of all people is silly #bc what they’re saying there is that everybody else on the show SUCKS actually and deserves to burn in hell #which is not what they were intending obviously but ???? #house of anubis #just thinking

[lokh]

there are a few people citing the in comic genderswap as evidence that shuro would have liked laios if he had been a woman but tbh i read it as shuro still being bothered by laios????

#not as romantic interest... #idk falins reaction seemed more like 'oh big brother what have u done' and not #'u like HIM??? my brother laios????' #i dont know that she would think of him like that anndhcjcnd 😭😭😭 #idk i know ive talked about this before but if anyone else wanted to talk abt how they interpreted it id like to hear it #this isnt aimed at anyone specifically cos some people are saying it on twitter too #but i rly dont see it... #like specifically i interpreted it as laios having said something dumb and shuro talking abt it w marcille and falin #and that seemed backed up with how laios said smth like even in that alternate world they still had problems #if im even remembering that correctly..

Have an idea that it's Ekko and Jinx's first time attending an Inxs rally.

The members become so overwhelmed with euphoria at the sight of her, they starts sobbing and screaming how much they love her.

They all are influenced by Jinx's style, some have tattoos of her face on their bodies, and even drew blue veins around their eyes.

She walks by them and the crowd parts ways to let them through, their eyes traveling her like she's one of the Gods herself sent from the Heavens. Then they all drop to their knees to get a chance to kiss the ground she walked on.

They have shrines and murals dedicated to her and are shoving whatever items they have for her to autograph.

They sell Jinx plushies, bullets casings claimed to be from her latest attack, rubble from buildings she bombed, and makeshift guns and bombs inspired by Jinx's weapons.

Ekko is a little weirded out by members yet amused knowing his girlfriend has a whole ass cult dedicated to her😭

#timebomb #ekkojinx #arcane #idk where i'm going with this #Just rambling again #my ideas #All the members congratulating Ekko and expressing how lucky he is to be in her presences everyday to be loved by her #Also been on a roll with these post wow omg😭 #my brain be empty then sometimes get too full with ideas💀 #my post #in the game she was indifferent to them but maybe she starts to like them~ #out of all the people he dated Jinx is full of surprises and he loves her for it #No one else can say there girlftiend is the most wanted terrorist that cultivate her own cult

there r fics that make u insane (so amazingly good it’s removed ur sanity) and then there’s fics that make u insane (you need to fistfight the author for how they did a specific thing that caused u to rant for hours)

#i know i just posted that other thing but ffs that is NOT how u handle someone in that situation everyone involved made everything 10x worse #yet it’s being treated like the right thing to do (which again ofc they’re cops they don’t understand harm reduction but still) like #seriously everything’s so forceful like u seriously think forcing ur friend to talk to u or forcing a patient to talk to a therapist under #the threat of being admitted to a psychiatric hospital is gonna make her feel comfortable talking to u? or anyone? she’s just gonna trust u #less and get better at hiding it and speaking of which the taking away all sharp objects thing makes sense in theory but like think abt it #for a minute she confirmed she isn’t suicidal and this is her only way of coping so do not just forcibly take away all her coping mechanism #like yes she is hurting herself but it’s a COPING MECHANISM. she’s coping with something. help her with that don’t just take away her penci #sharpers or whatever (which btw since she’s an adult she could easily buy more stuff and yk learn to hide it better) which again has to be #voluntary it isn’t gonna work if u force someone to do smthn they don’t want to like as ur friend u could’ve made it clear u care abt her #and wouldn’t judge her for anything and r here if she wants to talk don’t just say “you have to talk to me” and casually threaten #hospitalisation when she isn’t ready in the moment like seriously if this wasn’t a badly written fanfic she would completely stop trusting #bcz given that this wasn’t even done out of panic i would like ffs u are NOT doing any of this right #oops sorry ranted abt the bad fic in my tags- #it’s not where the author’ll see it and know it’s about them i don’t feel bad abt it #this was my first time even looking at stuff for this fandom so #cw self harm in tags #idk if i need to tag anything else for that 😭 #fanfic #ao3 #ryan shut the fuck up

I know several people who like LOVE seasons 5-7 (11th doctors run) and think the storylines and moffats writing are brilliant and I don't get it!!! what am I missing??? why does literally every single episode have the exact same stakes: Rory/Amy/the doctor is dead. forever. so dead. but wait!!! what if they aren't!!! why do so many of the explanations for why they're not actually dead feel so rushed like they were added at the last minute!! why does every single queer character act kind of weird and awkward about being queer!! why does the doctor casually say that women are inferior when no one's around!!! what the fuck!! hello!!!

#why is rory continuously proving himself as the Only Man To Ever Exist only for the characters/narrative to continuously imply hes lesser #amy tries to kiss the doctor?? at her wedding?????? #when amy is stuck for 36 years why is she like i forgot how much rory loved me?? GIRL HE WAITED 1000 YEARS FOR YOU???? WHAT???? #he is CONSTANTLY the butt of the joke despite being unequivocally without a doubt the best character from this era #what the fuck was up with river being their kid #THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY???? WHAT?? THAT SHIT WAS WEIRD RIGHT??? #does anyone else find it annoying that moffat changed the opening theme and the tardis and the sonic and the doctor ALLLL at once #and then retconned the entire storyline the early seasons are based off of?? #WHY IS THE DOCTOR SO GODDAMN ANNOYING?? LIKE SO MUCH MORE ANNOYING THAN THE OTHERS #and fucking sexist!!! so sexist!!! #anyone remember the characters who were like 'were the short fat and tall skinny gay men why do we need names' LIKE HUH??????? #gay people still have names steven 😭 #i feel like im going insane bc i have no one else to talk to abt it until my partner catches up #but you guys still think these seasons kinda suck right? like coming off of martha and DONNA and her AMAZING storyline #these just kinda pale in comparison right?????? #the last centurion is probably the last really good plot of that era imo. none of the other plots come close to having an ending that cool #like rivers story couldve been amazing and then it was just uh. kinda weird. a bit confusing IDK #i dont want to be a dick when talking to people and like shit on smth they love but i genuinely have a hard time #finding kind things to say abt a lot of this era #also and this might just be me but i do not like amy and clara v much 😭 theyre so fuckin mean and not even funny #why were martha donna and rose sooooo well written and they all have rich backstories. we know their fuckin families!! #literally its never even fully explained what the fuck happened to amys parents 😩😩 they just move on. the only friend of theirs #ever shown is fucking river??? as a kid?? #am i the only one who found all thay confusing

[sonicblooms]

there is not enough time in a sim day to do everything i want my sims to do

#how can they have vibrant social lives when the day is over in 45 secs 😭😭😭 #ik you can make days longer with mccc but i've also seen people say that it fucked up their save so idk about trying it out #like i had big plans for ruby's teen years but there's just too much going on with everyone else #i can pretend that he went on a school trip to mt. komorebi ❤️

[nyxi-pixie]

i think its kinda funny that the most people will talk abt women in fandom is to criticise people not talking about women enough. like. do you not see. the irony in that.

#or any post thats just like. art of women or whatever just says #drawing them bc no one else does! #like maybe just draw them bc u like them?? #analyse them bc theyre interesting?? #rb shit abt them bc u like it and not bc fandom has become some weird space where you r morally obligated to talk abt women #no matter how much or little depth they have purely bc theyre a woman? #idk bruh when im talking abt my bsd girlies its because i am enamoured with them and their characters make me wanna eat rocks #it seems yall only talk abt them to check a box #like ✅talked about a female character today! im not going to fail fandom! #wahhh #bsd #on that note i shld empty my drafts of my misery induced teruko posting #'people dont create content of female characters' thats cos yall dont fkn like it😭😭😭

[guideaus]

a thing i think sucks abt dunmeshi getting popular on here and the new fandom changing the overall vibe is that a lot of people on here approach fandom in kind of a... self-interested (only thinking about it in how a character might be similar to them?) way, and it's annoying to see

#personal #this is the third week ive seen someone comment how a character in there would be bad to them irl and like. idk its weird #i even saw someone relate to laios. describe him. then someone else called them out saying that description was hurtful. #im being vague bc it happens but to different characters each time? one person saying wow theyre just like x then someone else #vaguing that thought and its like. come on 😭 #these are different unique characters in a story! they conflict in moments bc of things that happen!! its not a b&w situation to stan one o #the other!! #it just creates the most pointless discourse over and over. like what if we thought abt this work as something that tells a story 🤔

most fucked up thing at my new job is there's only zero calorie sweeteners at the coffee station in the break room. three different kinds of zero calorie sweetener but no regular sugar because the assumption is that literally everyone is on a diet?
