I wonder when the Noldor looked around at their dwindling numbers and realized that they were dying faster than they could ever keep up with.

#tolkien #silmarillion #I actually have a lot of feelings about this #because the noldor that come over from Valinor are pretty much all you get for the first age’s long war #birth rates are also in the basement if they exist at all #elves don’t have children during war #even if the siege of Angband is peaceful enough to relax that custom #I still don’t think you would have many children #elves have known war before - we know they did before the great journey #but it’s also got to be sobering to realize that your casualty rates are literally unsustainable #(like so #the house of finwë probably isn’t a representative sample of casualty rates #but damn the big picture still can’t be good #we have one grandchild of finwë who survives to the second age out of fifteen and that’s a very very bad rate) #what does that DO to a people group #to go from immortal and undying #to accepting that your whole clan is getting whittled down chunk by chunk #when did they start realizing that even if they beat Morgoth #they wouldn’t recognize the survivors

men really will spend $44B to fuck up an entire social networking platform and the livelihoods of thousands of employees instead of going to therapy

#anyway hi #this is the sensation of moving back to your old childhood home #finding the rooms re-organised #but feeling the old habits settle back in like a well-worn groove in the road #fun fact: my fs journey actually started right here #I still have no idea what to do about translations I'm ngl but at least I downloaded my entire twitter archive #twitter

#oofuri #ALL THE MOMS W THE BABY PICS!!!!!!!! #kind of horrible that sakaeguchi is left out bc his mom is dead....like what abt a pic of his dad w a baby photo :( #if youre wondering why tf some of them are clearly scans and some r clearly photos let me take you on a journey #i saw these on the wiki and i was like I NEED THEM ALL IN ONE PLACE. NOW! #so i started saving them all. but then 1. oki's mom was missing. and 2. the scans are kinda fuzzy #but i was like w/e I'll just go grab my volume and take a pic of oki's mom #but the line quality is a lot higher so i was like ah whatever I'll just take photos of all of them! #but izumi suyama and mizutani sans are all printed a little fuzzy/off on my volume copy :( so i stuck w the scans! #no one asked. anyway. here!

rules:

Tag me so I can see it!!

I encourage you to draw your own fan designs of Vector and Charmy, don’t just copy mine if you don’t want to 💕

Feel free to add a background or espio

Have fun

And for those who aren't confident at drawing Vector, here is my guide I did last year

#sth #vector the crocodile #charmy bee #dtiys #seagull celebrations #seagull 1K dtiys #thank you to everyone who has supported e on my art journey #when I started drawing just under 4 years ago I never imagined the progress or support I’d receive so thank you all #Charmy made the paper crown and I was going to add drawings on the floor and stuff but I just don’t have time to add more #I hope anyone who joins has fun #and if your not very confident drawing vector I did a drawing guide I can link if you just want a little play xx

Hi!! I love this series so much, and as someone who hasn’t really drawn since they were a kid but wants to start as a hobby, do you have any advice for sort of learning to doodle on paper and get better at it? I want to start but I don’t really know how/where

The most important step in getting better at any skill is Persistence and Consistency. Practice and keep practicing! The best way to do that is to keep it fun! Picking a project helps generate ideas (e.g. drawing Pokémon, or characters from a series you like). There are also a ton of monthly prompt lists out there!

I also highly recommend scheduling in a 'drawing/practice' time in your day. For me, I started with 30-60 min before bed (bonus: its a good 'no screentime' activity), and the habit took root there.

There are a lot of 'technical' things to study but find the fun first. At a certain point you will discover you've hit a wall, and have a specific aspect/goal you want to target (colour theory, anatomy, lighting, comic layout). Then it's time to go looking for resources.

Once you have the habit and some goals, go collect some inspiration! Find people who inspire you and study their work!

Another little 'art skill builder' I recommend is the Shrimp Method! Only if you find technical challenges like this fun though (Example of one of my studies below)

#art faqs #TL;DR: Step 1 is 'Just start drawing'. Step 2 is 'Keep on drawing'. Step 3 is 'Hit a wall and start studying only as much as you want' #Step 4: keep it fun and keep drawing. #I think this is where artists who start young have the advantage over adult learners #because adults try to tackle art at the technical point first! #AND THAT JUST FEELS LIKE A CHORE!! #When I got into piano & string instruments I started by just doodling around. Banging out the tunes and experimenting. #The low pressure made it fun! I started lessons because I wanted to learn more! #I personally own quite a few art textbooks! Some are workbook/prompt-based (to help me get started) #and some are actual textbooks! But I certainly didn't start by reading a textbook. #I *highly* recommend Scott McCloud's 'understanding comics' for anyone trying to get into comics #its also a comic in of itself so its a fun read! It breaks down a lot of the key aspects of what's in a comic. #And tbh you don"t HAVE to trace for the shrimp method to work. Just take the time to do a study of a subject! #Good luck on your art journey! B*)

#satsuhart #temecas #bgghkg their rship rly... nice #i think i struggle to portray it the way i fully want it to look but like i think theyre a better fit than people think #also they clearly care about and respect each other so much like #teme saying he'll start taking his paper plays more seriously after castti tells him he can change someones life hello?? #castti is pretty much naturally nice to everyone but i like how their rship has like 2 sides to it lol like #theres her telling teme to take time to grieve and then the moment teme shows any kind of kindness in return shes like #uh ? youre being nice thats weird #but also like come on. temenos and hikari being the only ones to talk to castti during her ch3 is so AUAUGHH #also just consider. castti saying she likes vulnerable people (bad wording) and she must have seen a lotta that during teme's journey ! #well anyway. thats all from me for now #octo2

I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!

The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!

The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!

The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!

And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!

I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!

Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)

#pokemon #pokemon tcg #long post #i have deep affection for bulbasaur as well though and i also love the bulbasaur/ivysaur cards in this set #i SO wish we'd gotten art of the final evolutions in the same style as the pre-evos' standard cards!! #(yes i do love the full art ones but i also love the illustrations on the standard cards!) #from the way the settings in these two were going; i would have imagined blastoise to be set at night (??) #i LOVE pokemon cards. i can't keep up with every set but i started collecting again now and then a few years ago #and 151 has really got me wanting the full set the way i haven't since childhood. SO many beautiful illustrations (but there always are) #it's like having little pieces of art of my favorite characters and it's only.. slightly... less expensive than actually commissioning .... #i KNOW it's less expensive to buy the individuals online but it's so much less fun #part of the fun is having YOUR own pokemon journey ((going to the store)) and seeing what YOU encounter ((when you open the pack)) #i do buy them online sometimes but i usually dont form as strong associations with them as when i open a pack in a certain setting or place #i tend to try to save them to open right before a significant event like starting something new or a holiday. so that i form associations #and it's like 'oh that's the galarian obstagoon from when my mom came home for christmas' #and 'that's the snorlax who reassured me when i was hurt' #i don't buy them too often so i've got to make it count #anyway i know i should wait for the prices on this one to come down because it's absolutely ridiculous #i didn't buy anything at release because i was like $6 for one booster pack??? but i couldn't take just sitting and watching them sell out #i really like the poster because i can look at so many beautiful pictures all together #i could say stuff like this about literally every pokemon illustration (if i had time to write it out) and sometimes i've wanted to #i just chose these two because these are a couple of my original favorite pokemon and i just couldn't keep it to myself. i LOVE these
