#needless bitching time

[thedreadvampy]

not to be a dick but if you've been through actual university level art school and you still think that it's unreasonable bullying to be asked to push yourself or experiment with different art styles or to have aspects of your artwork criticised by people you asked for an opinion. what was the point of art school for you exactly?

when people say shit like 'my art school tutors told me my art was bad bc it was too anime and cartoonish ☹️' that may be true but I'm not gonna lie what I suspect happen is they told you 'you should work on developing a solid foundation for any art style you choose by pushing yourself to try more representational art Anne getting comfortable with ways of seeing and understanding images' and what you heard is 'NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO DRAW CARTOONS EVER AND YOUR WORK IS WORTHLESS'

and furthermore I suspect that you were really annoying in crits and took any even slightly negative comment or suggestion as a personal attack even though literally the point of art school is to learn to take and grow from constructive advice from your peers.

shout out to the girl on my undergrad who burst into tears literally every crit for three years even though about the nastiest thing anyone said to her was 'it might look cleaner if you rubbed out any of your pencil lines after inking and also used a clean rubber while sketching.' and guess whose art didn't improve at all over three years and whose technique actively got sloppier while other people were moving forward in leaps and bounds? yeah.

there were people who started uni as the best in the class and ended as some of the worst bc they just weren't prepared to listen to criticism or change how they did anything. and there were people who started out very mediocre and went on to produce incredible professional work to a high standard bc they listened and were open to change. and that's got nothing to do with who was more painterly and who was more cartoony or whatever it's just. when you ask advice and get something you don't want to hear do you chew on it and try it out or do you dig your heels in and do more of the same?

and like I'm not saying there's anything wrong with sticking to your guns and doing art the way you want to do art and the way that brings you joy. I'm just saying if you don't want feedback, teaching or advice on how to improve I'm really not sure what the benefit of art school is that you couldn't get several thousand pounds cheaper by staying home and drawing there.

(and I'm also saying if you come out of art school like BOOHOO NOBODY LIKES MY STYLE AND MY ART IS WORTHLESS you might. need to pull yourself together and say either I'm committed to this style regardless of whether people like it and I'm going to keep building on this style and make it amazing, or I want to make art that's more like the work people like and I value, what could I change to get more where I want to go? but if you lie down and say waaaaaah it's so unfair that my art is bad and everyone else is just more talented than me then bullshit. by the time you've graduated art school talent is not the deciding factor in the quality of your work. it's a question of your willingness and capacity to put the work in, take criticism, understand what you want to achieve, and slog through trying and failing to get a certain effect until it improves. professional level art is not an innate talent it's a trained skill, and some people might start further along the path than others bc of their talent, eye or training, but the distance between someone who's talented but unpractised and someone who's less talented but puts a lot of thought and work in closes extremely rapidly. it can be disheartening but if you want to do this professionally rather than for yourself you gotta feel your frustration, have a good scream and cry about it, then get back in to figuring out what you need to build on. bc we're all guilty of sometimes going HOWEVER HARD I WORK I'LL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS MY PEERS but no offence if you just lie down and give up where does that get you? if you just start going 'actually you should all feel bad for not liking my work more' instead of making your work more appealing or finding the right audience for it, that's on you not on anyone else. what was the point of art school????)

#needless bitching time #i just. i don't understand why you'd pay thousands of pounds a year to get constructive feedback #and then spend the year treating any feedback as a personal attack #save your money my guy of you want to do it on your own and you don't think other people have anything to tell you #then don't pay 6 grand a year to not listen to other people's advice #saw three consecutive art posts on here of ppl being like MY TUTORS TOLD ME NOT TO DO ANIME ART BC THEY JUST DON'T GET ME #WHY ARE ALL MY PEERS DOING BETTER THAN ME DESPITE US ALL GRADUATING AT THE SAME TIME #friends it's not bc you do anime art it's bc they tried new things and learnt new skills and you dug your heels in bc anime is What You Do #but like. successful cartoonists and anime artists are ppl who've at least had a crack at life drawing and realism #to know what they're stylising and how #I'm sure there's some teachers going NO ANIME EVER but I'm p sure most of your tutors were actually saying #don't just do anime bc it's what you know how to do. try other styles bc even if you're bad at them you'll learn something #it's not just anime like. ppl who come in only doing photorealism are pushed to stylise more. #you should be pushed out of your comfort zone. different styles. different media. that's not where you're being asked to END UP. #it's a LEARNING PROCESS #like a lot of my direct tutelage was like. pushing me to do looser more gestural blockier art #use an a6 piece of paper and a fat marker pen for life drawing #or no lines only blocks of shadow #or use a 3 colour palette with no midtones #or draw 30 thumbnails in a minute #and the art i made like that SUUUUUUUUUCKED. and it's meant to. it's not meant to be how you work from now on. #it's meant to help you identify what you're missing and where your blind spots are #and what you can incorporate into your work moving forward #red said

[dj-wayback]

... so you are not going to delete the art? right? NS?

That’d be illogical — didn’t I just talk about how I wanted to keep it?

#not sure if it was clear but that other picture was Not ns deleting the gift art #and it was a flashback to the past. because ns says ‘this is the first time ive gotten art’ BUT LIKE NO IT’S NOT!!! #bitches used to draw him things. and he also kept it all archived #and then You Know What happened #needless separation is here

Sometimes I really fucking envy the selfish assholes who just don't engage with the news/learn an current events. Like god it must be nice to live in your little bubble, only living in 'the moment' and the 'here and now' around you. It must be so peaceful to be able to see a YouTube short ab current events and say "hmm that's sad" and just scroll onto the next video without giving it a second thought. Must be so fucking peaceful being oblivious. Sometimes I want that. I want to be selfish and self centered, I mean I know I don't but... yknow??

#marquilla #my dr doesnt watch the news and she always responds to my anxiety ab current events to well stop watching the news #BITCH IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I WATCH IT OR NOT ITS STILL THERE its still on my feed regardless it's still existing and i KNOW #it's still existing and me being the fuckinh person i am i cant just turn a blind eye to this shit! #id LOVE to not know what the fuck is going on politically (god help me i wanna die so bad) id LOVE to not know what happened to that poor #little girl who was so fucking close to being saved but was essentially bait to lure in more needless casualties #id love to not know what the fuck is going on with climate change and with nato and with the un. ID LOVE TO BUT I CANT #limiting my online time isnt really an option bc again i cannot step away completely #i can try to limit my access by blacklisting tags and then choosing to hit show anyway on my own terms i can try watching something else #when the news is on i can try limiting how much news i watch BUT IT DOESNT HELP ME #i want to be oblivious i want to be selfish i want to be self centered. i want that fucking peace of mind these assholes have #i know i dont want to be that type of person i just want that mindlessness that illusion of freedom #but how do I obtain it yknow???? #the trigger as usual is learning ab project 2025 and working myself into a spiral knowing its more than likely gonna happen and theres jack #shit i can do ab it and just AUGHHHH

Also in the replies of the Steph concept art on twitter announcing she was gonna be in a new project at DC (posted by Travis Mercer), there were at least 3 comments saying "will Tim be there?" I don't care how hard you ship timsteph I'm exploding you with my eyeballs if you do that on my girls post again

#ramblings of a lunatic #taking a step back to acknowledge that my stanning may be getting overzealous #but then again I'm not in ppls quotes or replies I'm vagueing on an entirely different website with no relevant tags. it could be worse #anyway I know tims had it rough these past couple of months ever since zdarsky shifted focus of the batman title to have less tim #but it still feels. idk. just a wee bit uninspired to act like steph can't go two steps without tim being behind her #im ngl i like timsteph when they're cute but timsteph twitter has been. pissing me off a tad lately #the refusal to acknowledge the sexism in dixons robin run and how it impacts stephs writing and their relationships writing #the refusal to acknowledge tims occasional condescension and hypocrisy when it comes to stephs vigilantism #seemingly only wanting her to be spoiler when he wants her around and telling her to give it up most of the time #also the constant disrespect of stephs batgirl era on there weirdly enough? #I've harped on about this on main and in drafts but despite it's flaws it's a good turn for stephs character #she's the focus she gets development (an upward trajectory! which had previously been unheard of for her! bc she did have flaws as spoiler- #-its just that both writers and characters alike seemed to arbitrarily decide she didn't have the capacity to grow past them! but she did!) #hell i saw a BIZARRE take today i just have to bitch about #which was them saying that Batgirl was a ''heteronormative mask'' steph put on #with spoiler being her more authentic self (and this being paralleled to gender expression with stephs isolation from the batfam as spoiler- #-showing how she ''wasnt like them'') #which. I'm not denying you the view that spoiler has a certain genderific swag to her but the needless dragging of her batgirl persona #steph got treated badly as spoiler bc she was A Girl. it's genuinely that simple dixon felt batman and robin would never stand for a girl- #-running around doing the things they did and would need to chivalrously stop her. he's gone on record saying this #she's constantly getting belittled by mostly men (cass also dismisses her but it feels distinctly less gendered) #and in the end it's barbara who learns to give steph a second chance despite her mistakes and they have a positive relationship #something ppl are quick to dismiss as being in and of itself sexist bc they're pairing the two girls off together #as if batgirl isn't a legacy and as if babs and steph don't have parallels in their resilience and refusal to accept when ppl tell them no #for better and for worse!! #like. idk how you took the strongest feminist element in that comic (bc there are elements of sexism here and there! 2009 n all) #and somehow turn it into ''heteronormativity'' YOU PPL ARE JUST SAYING WORDS AT THIS POINT!!! #anyway. someone take away my internet access

Oh damn, some cc (build/buy cc from what I've seen on the dash) broke with the new patch, too?

#HOW did this update break cc?? Script mods I understand but like... objects??? #I can't do this every couple of weeks lmao I'm sorry it's too much #My ass is about to go vanilla. I say it every time but updating mods is one thing and - #updating cc (thousands of files) is another girl #Anyway I am not updating right now needless to say!!! #personal #sims critical #<- block that tag instead of sending asks if you're tired of hearing me bitch #gif warning

y'all i wanna quit my job so bad

#but I'm a broke bitch and can't do that #sighs #needless to say I'm exhausted #so once again i won't be doing drafts or answering memes/asks jsjsjs #I'm sorryyyy #i will try to at least reply to messages about plotting tho #cuz i love it when u guys approach me to plot and stuff ♡ #might reblog a couple memes also bc #I'll hopefully be productive this weekend when i get some free time AT LONG LAST #( ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆ ) out of karakura town. | ooc.

genuinely have mad respect for people who choose to study in the US healthcare field while having english as anything other than a first language. im a native speaker and the way some of this shit is written is damn near impossible to parse

#my actual textbook is fine #but ive done a little bit of outside research to cite sources and. GOD. #academics stop obfuscating your papers with needless jargon and circuitous language challenge. see i can be annoyingly verbose too bitch #i could go on and on abt the elitism in academics but i wont #mainly bc im only viewing it from an outside perspective #i understand jargon is straight up necessary sometimes especially in the medical field #but there are times where its like. ok dude i know you want to prove to the class that youre a smart person who knows words #but the hoes cant comprehend the meandering word salad that you've just created #(its me. im the hoes)

people talking shit about derry girls shut up or die by my sword 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡

#people really saying it's homophobic/'bury your gays' 😭 get some basic media literacy i'm begging u #comparing it to game of fuckin thrones....... saying it was a needless twist just for shock value SHUT UP #''i thought derry girls was meant to be a comedy 😫'' it IS but it incorporates darker themes!! #the whole thing has been set in the fucking troubles!!!!!!!!! this is not the first serious/non-lighthearted thing to have happened #say it with me folks: it's not homophobic for bad things to happen to queer characters. in fact #part of being a well-rounded and complex character rather than a two dimensional stereotype is to have bad things happen/do bad things!! #and i know we're all hoping to see queer characters who are more than comic relief/stereotypes...... right? #AND on top of all of that....... the show is based on lisa mcgee's life!! and this is something that happened to her friend at that age!!!! #people have been praising the show for its realistic portrayal of the lives of teenagers WELL GUESS WHAT this *is* realistic! #i'm sorry maybe i'm overreacting it's just really pissing me off going through the tag and seeing these takes #i'm obviously not gonna @ any of the people saying these things (i'm not that much of a bitch) but like. #but please ask yourself why u have a problem with it and - if u do- #why u haven't had a problem with the literal war happening in the background the rest of the time?

#i completely forgot about ben shapiros dumb shit little vlog club #theres another guy in here who says hes an econ major but has the most like #middle class white boy coming to college for the first time vibe #we were talking about market 'rationality' and how buying a rolex is a status symbol bc any watch can tell time and its all emotional choice #and he was like 'erm that sounds like a rational choice to me though. to want others to know youre wealthy' and its like damn bitch #is your dad milton friedman or what #too busy being spoonfed to fox news to think about how consumption affects culture and divides classes? #needless 2 say each time he derails the discussion (which is a fucking LOT) it takes a lot in me to not snap #ii think he knows im getting sick of him lol i butted in after he finished and couldnt control how pissed i sounded #but idc you came here to learn about political economy not tote free market shit #actually learn how the world works instead of how theyve distilled it for yu #school thingz

my school's musical theatre program put on roger & hammerstein's cinderella last year and every time i see something about that version of cinderella i am pained

#frankie yells #theatre fuvking sucked last year ok #the few remaining seniors got treated like shit & the leads were given to a gr 9 & a gr 10 #who was a bitch that like brainwashed all the gr 9s or whatever #idk she was a piece of garbage but careful not to get caught + she got the lead role and i don't think that was a good choice #plus like i had worked so hard to work my way up the ranks from playing 5 ensemble roles to playing a minor role w/ a few lines + ensemble #only to be cast as ensemble in my 3rd year. like not even like a good ensemble role. it was a dance role + somehow the teachers that ran #theatre had missed that i straight up wasn't on stage the previous year for most of the songs i was supposed to be ensemble for bc i #completely blanked on the choreo #like um yeah i totally should get a dance role... they were like 'but you did so well on the dance audition' uh yeah bc i wanted that to #cover up how bad i did for 75% of the choreo the year before so i could get a good role?? at not be cast like a gr 9??? #+ the two remaining seniors who had lead-adjacent roles the year before got bumped down to minor roles and we were all very upset about it #like the girl who got cinderella was SO nasty to some of the other girls that tried out (including the seniors) #she was just like loud + acted like she was hot shit so the younger kids ate up all her bs + totally followed her #anyway needless to say after the shocking betrayal from my theatre teacher i quit <3 #well i joined tech then quit when we didn't get to perform live bc of covid + bc they never posted a schedule for tech for filming #despite saying they would post a schedule bc they only wanted 2 tech at a time #but yeah it was a stupid stupid mess + i hated it #anyway oh man fuck i need to go to sleep ughhh

Hmm. Caffeine remains a game-changer for my migraines. I’m smack bang in the middle of my cycle, and normally, the migraines I get from ovulating are debilitating. Like, on the floor can’t move suicidal ideation levels of shaking pain.

And while I am in pain right now, the difference after some quick caffeine ingestion is stark.

I am right now, at worst, uncomfortable. I wish the pain would go away, but mostly because it’s annoying and I just want to sleep. But if necessary, I could be functional. I’d bitch and moan the entire time, but I could be upright if you needed me to be.

Needless to say, the next doctor who tells me caffeine is causing my health issues and I should cut it out, will be getting told to fuck quite merrily off 💀

back with another chubby girl x ur fave post!!! hope y’all enjoy! this is a black reader x whoever post, but anyone can enjoy! catered to my fellow chubby girlz cause we rule the world <3

toji likes chubby girls. idc idc argue wit ya mama!

he always loved the idea of being able to surprise his pretty lil gf by picking her up like she weighs nothing and fuckin her anywhere he sees fit. <3

has 100% posted something along the lines of “i like bitches wit stomachs!! pussy always good and she soft!!” he def blew up on the net that day :/

but! needless to say, you came into his life shortly after.

you were a bit weary stumbling across him that sunny afternoon. seeing that fine ass 6’2, 280 pound man, completely covered in tattoos during your downtown walk was not in your cards for the day.

i mean, he looked scary as shit walking down the side walk. dressed in a short sleeved black compression shirt and black sweats, he seriously looked like he was getting ready to beat up the next person he saw. then the scar on his lip didn’t make him any more approachable looking.

you literally thanked your lucky star that you would enter your favorite coffee shop before having to walk past him. so imagine your surprise when you suddenly felt a tap on your shoulder while standing in line and seeing this same man give you the cutest smile.

he eventually convinced you to let him take you out later that night, and you’ve never looked back!

he constantly tells you “we don’t needa bed baby, i can hold you up jus fine”, with a devious look on his face. he thinks it’s funny when you get that surprised look when he fucks you standing up. he wouldn’t dare let his pretty baby sit on a dirty club sink, so, what better way to prevent that then by holding you!!

you absolutely love it. you’ve finally found a man that loves your weight and couldn’t care shit else about it. sure, toji works out like 6 times a week and is absolutely ripped, but he’d never make you work out unless you wanted to. and even then he’s questioning you, “why the fuck you wanna do that? you’re perfect the way you are, lil girl”. you just roll your eyes and rise up off the couch, but not before toji gives that ass a nice, hefty smack. of course you look at him like he’s crazy, but he just goes back to scrolling on his phone while biting back a laugh.

all of his friends don’t rlly get it, but he doesn’t give a fuck. seeing your pretty face and chubby cheeks makes him wanna giggle like a school girl, though, he’ll never admit it.

he’s also 100% the type to grab your rolls/stomach while laying in the bed. you look at him crazy every time and all he does is smile and give you a fat, wet kiss. “stop lookin at me ‘fore i put a baby in you”. suddenly ur eyes are wide open

ugh, toji just luvs the big gworls! :p
