Imagine a bat family au where because of their overexposure to evil scientist they all ended up with superpowers (duke gets extra superpowers too because he deserves them) and they never realised because they all thought is was a normal part of training to be a vigilante for that long.
Posting this ahead of time before my trip to the UK. Had a general mix of drawing comics again and toying with character designs.
This year's been full of FNAF hype galore, DnD fun, an AWESOME El Paso trip with @icetigerkitten. And now I get to end it by spending the holiday season for a MONTH with my BF in the UK.
As far as reality is concerned, it's been...a doozy, that's for sure. My bigger take away involving online stuff is the fact that - a lot of Twitter refugees converged to Tumblr, probably still learning stuff. It's effected the reblog to like ratio in a negative way; I don't have to go into details about it since many people have discussed it to death.
So as a general reminder: the best way to help me and other artists like me is to like AND reblog posts. It would mean a lot to me and help me grow with my art as more people see and enjoy it. ^^
I dunno what 2024 will bring, but I'm definitely going to do the best I can. We all can hope for that.
Everyone have a Happy Holiday, and a Happy New Year!
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
Explored more character design and coloring techniques this year, while ending it of on a silly note - admittedly I invested the last of my creative juice in my October picture, but it was absolutely worth it~
With everything else going on, this year was a bit of a struggle. Compared to others, I’m very grateful to be in the position I’m in right now. I’ll really have to get a move on things for 2023, though. It’s gotta be better this time..;;
i love it when characters are unfair, actually. i love it when they’re uncouth and cranky and hypocritical, i love it when they have cognitive dissonances, i love it when they make good and bad choices for the wrong reasons. i love when they’re short to anger and hard to understand. i love it when they’ve destroyed themselves for nothing but can’t even see either part of it yet. i love it when they’re messy and selfish and bad at communicating. i love it when they get convinced of their own ego and stuck in a feedback loop regarding their own warped paranoia. i love it when characters actively make their lives unknowingly harder for themselves. i love it when characters don’t know they’re in a story. i love it when characters are like real people
bitches be like “this is the best piece of literature i have ever read” and it’s either a book that took them six weeks to finish or a fanfic they read at 3 AM
