#they know a filter when they see one

[saltypiss]

I find the "cat face-ification" of women's faces in porn so offputting that I've started looking at faces in porn even less often than before. Dunno why people bother either.

Seriously just have a butter face, not like we're trying to get into a relationship here, just janking my crog to the situation. The cat face shit is more than distracting, it's telling. Poor quality work that pretends to be professional. Gross. The worst kind of porn is the kind that's beyond suspension of disbelief, and I assure you, we'd be putting all of you under to examine if your faces actually looked that inbred.

Stop using the damn cat-face-ification filter. You literally will have nothing but lies to look back to in the future. In general, not just porn. Your grandkids will not think you look like some monstrosity from a Junji Ito comic. They will think you're cringe for ruining good photos with some corporate ass filter. Be yourself, not what companies think you should looklike for advertising reasons entirely.

#tiktok filters #filters #instagram reality #kinda thing #bothers me because of all the things to fake #why the hell the face with computer software #like my gal #your audience is primarily internet dwellers #they know a filter when they see one #and it's distracting as Fuck #the amount of times the filter just stops working and you see... #a completely average face? #it's a bit depressing #ya ain't even ugly #here to jerk off to you #and here you stand #with a fake deformity thinking that'll get my rocks off harder #like nah man just makez me feel bad for you #tryin to jank man #don't make me feel bad about you alone in your room with stuffed toys

LOVE LOSES !!!!!!!!!!!!

#sorry the idea of most of sonics rivals having a crush on him while sonic himself doesnt know or just doesnt care is really funny to me #anyway idk how i feel about how this looks i jusst kinda rushed it out to get it out of my head #wihtout caring about it looking perfect #this is what i was talking about earlier btw. #when i said i wasgonna try to draw something for valentines but its not actual serious ship art #im a little late . but its still the 14th somewhere im sure #sonic the hedgehog #sth #shadow the hedgehog #knuckles the echidna #jet the hawk #am i allowed to tag the ships if theyre one sided will people get annoyed with me if i do that #whatever im doing it anyway. at the very least so people who dont wanna see ship stuff can filter it out #sonadow #sonknux #sonjet #my art #to be completely honest i dont feel anywhere near as strongly about the idea of shadow liking sonic as i do knuckles and jet liking sonic #but he gets to be included because i cant just make a joke about sonics rivals without including shadow

[semi-sketchy]

I know this is beating a dead horse at this point, but I just started thinking about this the other day and...

How many people that were previously enemies has Sonic ACTUALLY befriended?

Like my knowledge of some old games and the handhelds ain't great, but...

There was Knuckles, who I think is the only one in the classic era.

He never really befriended Gamma in SA1, just left him to Amy.

Also he didn't befriend Chaos, just beat the anger out of him.

The next one was Shadow in SA2, although they're still kinda rivals?

I don't think Rouge counts in SA2 since she wasn't really an enemy of Sonic specifically, even in Heroes it's really Sonic and Shadow that start the fight.

Gemerl is a robot who was reprogrammed to be friendly, I wouldn't count that as "befriending someone".

Him and Jet are rivals in every Riders game, this never changes.

Blaze in Rush is someone that fought him and they became friends, so it's clear cut, she counts.

Silver in '06 does as well.

Do we count Shade from Chronicles? I think she had a boss fight. I know very little about that game but it's not canon, right?

Merlina is kinda a grey area? Like they were friends, he stopped her evil plans and was still nice to her. I don't know if in context that meets the criteria.

On top of that I don't think the Knights of the Round Table count. Sonic is there to take the swords and they work together at the end. I don't think there's any hard feelings, but don't know if this counts as "friends".

Sage could be the next example, but she's still loyal to Eggman. I don't think what they briefly shared was friendship as much as Sage wanting to save Eggman.

I haven't played Superstars but Trip doesn't even have a bossfight, does she? I don't think she counts.

Not looking at the method, just purely if they became friends down the line. Out of all of those, there's 4 total (if you count Shadow, which I do) with 1 it's complicated and 1 non-canon. That's very few when you consider how large the game cast is.

An overwhelming majority of his friends weren't ever hostile with him to begin with, like the Chaotix, Amy, Tails, Cream, Emerl, Big, ect. There's plenty of other cast members that are still have him on their shit list, like Eggman, Infinite (if he's alive), Fang, Metal, Eggman Nega, the Deadly Six...

Now I'm starting to wonder where this idea of it being a frequent even came from.

#i still don't read the comic anymore but it's kinda hard to not see anything about it in the sonic fandom #anyways yeah that's my ramblings on the subject #a weird aspect to latch onto when it's only happened a few times #and the last definitive one was 18 years ago #and again not looking too hard at the context of those situations in this post i already know the comic misrepresents them #because aside from blaze sonic never instigated those friendships #he's a go with the flow kinda guy so he'll match your energy #you come at him aggressive and he'll be aggressive back #but also if you're friendly he'll be friendly kinda thing #anti idw sonic #idw sonic #fans don't look #hopefully that covers the tag blocking list #and people properly filter because i don't want to leave the idw tag out #in case anyone is just trying to steer clear of anything idw

im really normal about them <- lie

#ace attorney #mia fey #diego armando #miego #lorillee.png #THATS RIGHT BABY. AFTER -um . hold on. *checks notes* - SIX MONTHS. LORILLEE IS BACK WITH PHOTOSHOP ART 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 #every now and again i like to put effort into something just to remind everybody that i can actually draw #well i say that but to be honest i put a lot of effort into those ms paint ''diego fey REAL'' doodles #but half of that is just because humans are a . something. to draw. and urban backgrounds are my worst nemesis #and also trying to work with ms paint to like slightly transform things is an incredible pain in the behind #anyways. yeagh 😎👍 behold the power of miego. getting me to actually finish something in photoshop for the first time in months #anyways. ive discovered the secret to getting me to draw stuff on photoshop. prepare yourselves accordingly #what i need to do is sketch & line something in ms paint. and then directly trace it over into photoshop #and then i can go ham #see because the reason i never did this before was because i would sketch things in ms paint #and try to line them in photoshop and it simply Wouldnt Work. #so i had assumed that if i wanted to draw in photoshop id have to sketch in it first. yknow. which i cannot do for some reason #something about the way the pen feels and the . its like the smoothing setting is on even when its on 0 percent. you know. anyways #but with this one i drew mia in ms paint as per usual . and i wanted to mess around with color & light #and i triedddd to do it in ms paint but unfortunately as you can probably imagine. doing stuff like this without layer filters #can get a little difficult. if you know what youre doing its obviously going to be easier but that being said i do not #when i pick colors i am literlaly just wildly guessing 😭🙏 which is fine for more straightforward coloring/shading #but not quite here. which is why i wanted to take a stab at it in the first place #so anyways i was like FINE WHATEVER and tried tracing the lineart in photoshop so i could take a stab at coloring in there #and i was . enlightened. (no pun intended). it WORKS #so anyways . you may actually be able to expect. some photoshop art from me #well ok thats a lie never expect art from me. but we can all dream together #anyways they really are the star-crossed doomed by the narrative romance ever. everything to me

[bandtrees]

things i would kill for ao3 to implement:

permanent tag filter/blacklist system (i genuinely think this would solve like 60% of proship/anti discourse)

letting you pin one fic in particular at the top of your profile so everyone sees it

#babbles #ao3 #former one. do you know how much itd solve if people were able to just filter out the stuff they dont wanna see Once instead of Every Time #win win. ppl who dont like that stuff stop having to be reminded of it at every turn and ppl who do will hear less complaining #ALSO wrt second point does anyone else get the jitters when a fic you're really proud of stops being immediately visible on your profile #im like Fuck. if i Post More. the fic i Want people to read will be Harder for them to Find

from a vibes perspective, i totally understand why so many people look at keefe and go ‘this guy would be the male equivalent of a wine aunt when he’s older’. 

but. but. 

taking lore into consideration, in my heart, he’s terrified of alcohol (even if he tries really hard to hide it). because. like. his first exposure is almost guaranteed to be through cassius, and cassius canonically threw a glass extremely close to him at least once when he was, like, 8. maybe cassius wasn’t always extra nasty when he was drunk, but there’s gotta be a correlation in keefe’s brain between risking getting seriously hurt (emotionally or physically) and alcohol consumption that’s really hard for him to shake. 

#tw alcohol #tw child abuse mentions #lmk if there's more trigger warnings i should put #i have a thing for hurt/comfort lmao #kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #this is brought to you by: #that one fic my brain started writing internally where it's sophie's 21st bday and she's like man i #have saved the world so many times we've all lost count. i want a fucking drink #and keefe's internally like OH GOD OH FUCK in a bad way but externally he's like yeah babe whatever you want!! #and then she's like. i don't wanna do anything super stupid though. and drinking alone is super stupid when you've never drank before #will you stay w/ me? please? #and keefe's like. i cannot say no to that face #so he spends the night doing an increasingly bad job of hiding how bad he's freaking out #because sophie is a safe space and alcohol is not safe and he doesn't know how to deal w/ the two colliding #ESPECIALLY since sophie's just getting dorkier and sweeter as her filter goes down instead of throwing insults or objects at him #(i feel like sophie would be the kind of drunk that's very impulsive and says EVERYTHING that comes to the forefront of her mind #and stellarlune was more than enough to prove that she sees keefe and a lot of the time her brain just goes hnnngh soft little tortured #artist. MY soft little tortured artist.) #yeah but even intoxicated sophie can tell something's wrong even before he flinches super obviously at an empty glass falling over w/o #breaking. and so she's like nah man it's hurt/comfort time and he's like BUT YOUR BIRTHDAY and she's like do you really think i'm #gonna just let go of the fact that i know you're stressed? i'm not a dickhead keefe #so yeah it ends in cuddles. because of course it does #keefe sencen #annnnd out of the drafts this goes. post!

Something something the spot’s goofy antics distract from how dangerous his own entitlement and resentment is

#I don’t want to be that guy but I feel a little bit like spot gets sanded down a tad into just the fact he’s funny #and he IS funny I get it. but what makes him scary is the power to lash out with his entitlement and resentment towards miles #it’s you did this TO ME (miles didn’t #he was busy getting pummeled by kingpin and then venom shocking him back and the building was being EVACUATED it’s literally no one’s fault #but spot’s that he was there AND miles didn’t even know he was there when the collider exploded) #so I’m owed the role that you made me into <- miles literally didn’t do this #I’m OWED being your nemesis because I created you <- when all of itsv is about its miles own choices that make him heroic and not the bite #spot can’t even take ownership of his own actions. he’s like oh IM not robbing you that’s the bank. well buddy I don’t see you robbing the #bank I see you harassing some guy owning a corner store #like I get it. ur a cosmic horror and it sucks capitalism is pushing u down and u can’t get a job but like OWN UP TO WHAT THE HELL YOU DO #LMAO #and even miles trying to genuinely reach out and say look I’m sorry I made u feel bad (even though this isn’t an owed apology) and spot #STILL is hellbent on breaking miles back for an imagined slight #I AM GOING TO KILL YOUR LITERAL FATHER BECAUSE I BLAME YOU FOR SOMETHING YOU DIDNT DO #like god lmao. he’s a fun silly villain but there’s legitimate anger and spite and RESENTMENT motivating him purely to try hurt miles back a #as* badly as he imagines miles hurt him. when it’s like dude. own tf up to who’s responsible here #I’m not angry at the spot btw I actually think he’s a fun villain but I think recognising that resentment is what makes him effective as a #*​frightening* villain and one that poses legitimate danger #tunes talks spiderverse #apologies xinakwans ik u said you didn’t want to read any spot posts hopefully this snags on ur filtered content block shdjfjfk

getting a sudden resurgence of art motivation is such a blessing and a curse tbh. bc on one hand im drawing a lot and having a lotta fun doing so but on the other hand i wanted to make Even More secret stuff for atbb that requires drawing so i told myself i would make a few very sketchy things that would have to be quick and don't have to be Insane Awesome Quality since they'll be blurry as hell in the final product anyway and i have like less than a week / a couple days at most to get it all ready in time

so anyways now it's 3am and i just finished the first of what i still want to do after 3 days

#trousled dumb #WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH ME AND OVERDOING SHIT THAT'S JUST GONNA BE BLURRED!!!!!!!!!!!!! #there are THERE characters in this fucking thing btw. and a background. whats wrong with me who have i become #i was sooo close to just leaving it with minimal shading & detail and finishing it like So Many Hours Ago I Don't Even Know #but i had that thought. you know the one. the one that says Wait I Can Push This More. and well i fucking pushed it #i think im gonna have to do an art dump when this event is done. because where this is gonna be seen beforehand it's gonna be 400px wide. #its original width is 1694px for the record. can you imagine the compression #motion blur + scanlines filter + several gaussian blurs + ungodly compression.......................why did i . do this #sigh. at least i am extremely proud of it and at least i lost track of time solely because of how much fun i was having #but also fellas i do not think i will be drawing everything i want to be prepared by the time of the reveal lmaooo #head in hands. i have drawn a really really good pair of boots. and also a lesbian. and also fully rendered drinks with ice cubes in them #ice cubes that you cannot see. because they are already so small that they had to be drawn with a 2px brush. and now they are blurred #and also obscured by the glass details in general. but by god do they change color under the liquid and everything #goodnight . i would put a cute little emoji here but there isnt anything that represents a smile akin to baring my teeth like a wild animal

[katsigian]

#it's always so funny to me to see cy/ber/po/nk fandom members in other places where nobody knows them but i remember when they were making #snarky little call out posts about other people #and that they still actively support terfs #i remember all of the passive aggressive digs they made at me and other people outside of their clique #oh well they'll out themselves eventually #just like how they did when i asked people to stop calling my oc daddy and i got blocked by people in said fandom #tell me you're chronically online without actually telling me #tbd #i just saw one of those cp/77 people doing their love bombing maneuver on someone new and. yeah that tracks. i have them blocked #and filtered #but tumblr sucks at actually filtering #ugh #that's the tag

[cidnangarlond]

I definitely have some kind of undiagnosed personality disorder I am Not normal

#it's probably paranoid. tbh. cluster a at least #have forced myself to have some kind of filter bc if I posted all the shit I genuinely think u guys would Not want to be around me #me wearing a tshirt that says ASK ME ABOUT MY PARANOID DELUSIONS #cannot get into them all but it's standard fare I suppose. being watched hidden cameras being spied on etc etc you know how it goes #that's also not getting into my very strong belief about like. this whole potential serial killer thing Don't Ask it's years old now #but I went crazy w that one. don't worry about it tho #and then your typical self hatred and self loathing and seeing and hearing things on occasion #interpreting my dreams as having a greater meaning and thinking mundane things are signs. should probably bring this up to my psych #next month when I see her. I'll probably forget again though. oh well #there's also like. I know it's her job but I'm scared to bring any of these things up idk why but the idea of telling her all this scares me #idk though! cross that bridge when things get awful

CORRECT THANK YOU FOR SHARING

#submission #I actually have seen this meme because someone sent it to my supervisor at some point and she showed it to all of us ajdbkajs #working with a bunch of gay autistic math nerds fucking rules lmfao y'all have no idea #one of my bosses is super into sci fi and is also a math teacher and puts star trek and firefly and buffy and hitchhikers guide etc etc #references in EVERYTHING he makes. I took a math class from him once and all of the test questions were about some fuckin show #whenever he runs meetings he asks us questions based on star trek usually. recently in a meeting he asked us to choose the best captain #I'm one of only like 3 people who watches all of this shit so I looove going to meetings when he runs them #bc he'll ask some fuckin question like who's the best star trek captain. and the 3 of us who knows what's going on will just start arguing #while everyone else looks around like what the fuck is going on right now (this one always gets the newbies) #my ALL TIME favorite Jake moment tho was when I was there one night and there were no students so we were all just hanging out #and Jake walks out of his office and he looks kind of annoyed. and he's a big dude like super tall and broad and loud as hell #so I can hear him like mumbling shit all annoyed and I'm like hey Jake what's up? you doin ok? #and he sighed and was like no. the schools internet filter started blocking my FAVORITE board game forum #and now when I have a thought I can't just look it up to see if anyone's said anything about it. and that's like ALL I do. it's so annoying #and I was like Jake maybe that's why they blocked it akddjkansbdjsdbebs #god I love that dude. and this barely mentions my other supervisor who is autistic and pansexual and married to a woman #and both of them foster several kids. Jake has like 10 fuckin kids or smth bc he was fostering a couple of kids and then he got married #and she already had children and then they had a baby together. idk he's got like a whole baseball team they're very cute

Can you suggest some good comic!pietro fics?

sure! emphasis on 'some' bc there aren't many i like out there. youd think for a character w 14k fics some of them would be about comic pietro that i like. regardless

but i believe you are pushing your luck by shroomyystar: i read this one today. i cant express how bad this fucked me up . i am still thinking abt it. pietro & erik post axis retcon, a conversation about how pietro is no longer erik's actual son. the character writing in this is driving me crazy i need to go sit down with someone and discuss i tliterature class style IM INSNAE. so good.

Cycles by shroomyystar: fucked me up good as well im not gonna lie! pietro faces judgement from the progenitor. AXE compliant. SHOULDVE BEEN AN ACTUAL ISSUE METHINKS.. pietro characterization immaculate, plus LUNA.. ahh!!

Color Theory by Kworei: silver age pietro ft erik and wanda, brotherhood early days. SO good. pietro bullies erik for being a lil stupid and they also get to choose the colors for their outfits :) huge fan of pietro's writing and just how easy he can provoke erik he's my special boy

I might have recced this for the time someone asked me for wanda fics but Scatter What Remains by indevan remains such a good fic for both of them augh

rite of passage (driving lessons remix) by kworei: erik teaches pietro to drive. (GONE WRONG) set in the silver age as well. it's so ic it's actually painful and you really really wish they could jus thave normal driving lessons but they DONT. thats the beauty of it. pietro is just so good in this you really understand why he is the way he is

holding out for a hero by punkbean: OHH IM CRAZY IM CRAZY IM CRAZY U HAVE NO IDEA... TOMMY AND PIETROOOOOOOO THAT'S HIS FUCJKING UNCLE BTW IF ANYONE CARED. it's super good. in which tommy is recued by his hero, quicksilver, and their relationship develops from there. LIEK ITS ACTUALLY CRAZY GOOD ITS MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FIC

bonus technically x-men evolution but i liked it sm im reccing it anyway. a bitter boy like him by chocolatechip in which pietro gets injured and scott summers kisses his boo boo. SUCH a good and funny fic PLEASE.

#asks #pietro maximoff #throwback to 3am when my electricity died and i was like knees deep int he pietro tag #LIKE WHEN I SAY KNEE DEEP........I MEAN IT #AFTER FILTERING OUT EVERYTHING I DIDNT WANT TO SEE LIKE THE EMMM CEE UU AND EX EMM CEE UU I WAS LLIKE OK LETS DIG IN #IRT WASNT ENOUGH TURNS OUT PEOPLE CANT TAG CORRECTLY #but regardless i found out pietro fucked dr doom one time so you know what I still won somewhat #there were many pietro fics but they were like relationship ones and sometimes i just want character study lol #anyway. why am i rambling

Okay, so. I finally downloaded a VPN so I could watch Doctor Who on the BBC site, but even with my location set to London, it's still not working. I clicked on the little troubleshooting link (of course I'm in the UK BBC, don't you see my IP address?), and one of the suggestions was to turn off any VPNs. Is this just in case a British person forgot their IP address was set to somewhere else, and maybe the VPN I got isn't very good, or is it not possible to watch on the BBC site with a VPN at all? Is anybody out there having any luck with this, and if so, what VPN are you using? Or does anybody have any... other suggestions for somewhere else I could maybe watch Doctor Who online?
