so no one told you life was gonna be this gay

listen up freshman babies

on Twitter the #freshmanadvice is terrible and it’s mostly for hazing. but if you’re entering high school I have some advice for you.

• wash your face every night and take of all your makeup.

• do your homework as soon as you get home. I’m serious. I’ve only done it a couple times and I kill myself with all the work I put off.

• procrastination is inevitable but try to avoid it. I’ve had so many avoidable emotional breakdowns.

• if you need help, ask for it.

• study

• that boy/girl who is consuming you entire life right now, probably won’t matter in a couple years. it’ll be okay.

• don’t worry about not being asked to any dances, go with a pack a friends and look fly af. it’ll be okay.

• get involved in things. clubs. sports. theater. chorus. band. there is something for you.

• relax.

• almost every worksheet is online. seriously, just google the title. you’ll probably find it.

• sparknotes is your new best friend.

• the buddy system for notes/homework is always a good plan.

• your grades are important but breathe. you’ll survive even if you get a D on a test. if you don’t get straight A’s. it’ll all be okay.

• don’t date seniors. don’t do it.

• you can do it, it’s not as scary as it seems.

thought this would be useful information for the people of tumblr dot com

you've probably already gotten some questions about this, but can I inquire as to your drawing process? i recently discovered that i may have been working against my own thought process in drawing and that it was hurting my ability to create, and your own work seems somewhat similar to the way i naturally go about making things, so i was curious. thank you for your time!

alright *cracks knuckles* lets give this a go

My process changes pretty much every 2 milliseconds so im just gonna try to sum it up as of right now (and i doubt it will be helpful but dammit i am gonna try)

I work from some really ugly sketches, especially now that im trying to get the hang of composition. More than anything, I think I just try to find some potentially interesting shapes from the very start, because there’s no way for me to spend actual time on a thing without it. I latch onto well-defined areas of light and dark like my life depends on it.

Here’s some of my recent sketches and thumbnails just to really drive home the point that I just don’t give a shit

Lineart is my mortal enemy (surprise), and so I take any kind of lines I put down more as a friendly suggestion than anything else. Sketching is really just a mapping tool to slap color on top of.

In the rare cases I do refine a sketch, it is only to better figure out what it is im doing. Then I promptly proceed to ignore it, and go straight to filling in a silhouette that feels good with my most recent love: the polygon lasso tool in photoshop. Then I lock that baby down and uhhh improvise

Here’s some hopefully slightly more helpful examples of my background study process:

It hopskips over the parts where I try to figure out shapes (because I tend to work on a single layer im sorry making process gifs of finished pieces is hard), but regarding my process in terms of planning out composition, light and color, it is pretty representative.

I start with the chicken scratch thumbnail, map out the major values and refine them into some interesting shapes. Then I go over with lines to figure out the 3-dimensional space, complete with some gosh dang perspective lines. I get some base colors going, and then I just go wild overpainting that using square and triangular brushes, and the polygon lasso tool.

The most important realisation for me the last year was that I don’t actually have to render stuff. The goal of my final overpainting is to reduce everything into seperate, well defined parts, because that is what fascinates me the most with visual art: abstraction and stylisation of light.

So yeah, I hope this was at least a little bit what you were looking for. If you’re stuck, go embrace what is most enticing to you in your actual art process technically speaking. It has completely changed the way I approach mine.

Here’s some bonus gifs bc why not:

Honestly so much of the way I interact with other women is based on my experiences as a young, closeted, scared lesbian that it’s bordering on sad.

I feel awkward telling my friends that they’re attractive if they’re women because I’m scared they’ll take it the wrong way. I feel weird hugging other women because I’m scared they’ll thing I’m coming onto them. I never ever have a conversation while in a locker room/changing room with other women even if they’re my friends. I always go over everything I might say and how it could possibly be interpreted before saying it because what if they think I’m hitting on them? And it’s not even just with straight friends either. I have the exact same issue when speaking with other lesbians and with bi women and pan women and questioning women and women who are attracted to other women in general.

So this is your daily reminder that if you’re experiencing this, you’re not alone in it, and no matter what your internalized homophobia/biphobia may tell you, being attracted to women doesn’t make you inherently predatory or bad, no matter what you were told by others when you were younger or get told by homophobes now

i love how whenever anyone does a catradora vampire/werewolf au then catra is the vampire. like does it make more sense for catra to be a werewolf? yes. does she exude such sexy lesbian energy that she legally has to be the vampire? also yes.
