earlier this month it was 120 degrees in Australia , but yeah lets continue to mock those trying to save us in the 12 years we have left to slow climate change’s effects.
What is the worst thing that could happen if we listen to scientists and change our ways, and then it turns out they were lying?
Slowly dying in a mad max hell world to own the libs I guess.
i really really wanna see his movie again
this may be an Unpopular Opinion (even on tumblr) but like the 8-hour workday is just Too Gotdamn Long
like even sitting in an office for eight hours a day isn’t particularly pleasant (or healthy, as we are beginning to see) but when we’re talking about doing *actual work* for that same amount time it gets pretty fucking brutal
doing literally *anything* (even leisure activities) for eight hours straight tends to be less than enjoyable but when we’re talking about things like construction, landscaping, factory work, and hell, even foodservice and retail, eight hours is a fucking ETERNITY
i might just be a lazy weak-willed bitch but honestly i think i’m not entirely wrong
I’m drawing Anti in a black fur coat right now and MMMMMMMM
Never knew I needed this 👌
My favorite thing is when people remember little things I told them. like seriously? you actually listened to me? thank you
“Get you a girl who can do both” Me, I can be an idiot and an emotional mess at the same time.
if it makes you unable to get out of bed: you’re not faking it
if it makes you unable to think straight: you’re not faking it
if it makes you unable to brush your hair in the morning: you’re not faking it
even if you’re still able to work and smile during the day but unable to sleep or move later that day because of it: you’re not faking it
if it effects you in any way: you are not faking it
THIS IS REAL, don’t second guess yourself because others do
Im very happy you all exist. I dont know what I’d do without you all anymore. You stop me from getting lonely so thank you very much :)
Have you ever looked at someone while they’re doing something small like driving or laughing or eating and just smile bc you like them so much
the moon is proud of you
self care is blasting music into ur ears til u can barely think anymore
listen to yourself and watch your language. instead of saying “sorry for ranting”, say “thank you for listening to me”. instead of saying “sorry that i am overemotional”, say “thank you for trying to understand something difficult”. instead of saying “sorry if i am a burden”, say “thank you for the time and energy you invest in our friendship”. good things will come when you realize you are not an apology.
wouldnt it be cool to just like not feel nervous about everything all the time
Let us not forget our true Lord and savior
Hey instead of a Harry Potter world there should be a lord of the rings world where it’s super immersive and you’re given a sword when you enter the world and giant spiders chase you and the elf actors eat dirt and offer you some
So I found a site that does a subscription box for your period- it sends you basics like hygiene products, pain medication as well as snacks and pampering stuff to make you feel good,
but the best thing is they have a specialty boxes, like vegan or kosher only snacks but also
they specifically offer boxes for menstruating guys and nb folks.
which is pretty darn cool.
it’s called bonjourjolie and I think it’s 1000% awesome tbh

Mr. Dark is not amused.
Here’s some art stuff that helped me improve compiled in a list of sorts. Honestly this isnt the best list of resources but i thought it would be good to put this here as well since i get lots of questions about improving one’s art!
No matter your skill level, i think it’s always important to check yourself and not conform to your current level of artistic ability. There’s always room for improvement! Enjoy! 1- GREAT site for practicing gesture & anatomy (plus other art tips & tricks): https://line-of-action.com/ I’m pretty sure there are tutorials on-site on how to use their tools! 2- Also here’s a very helpful video that helped me figure out some stuff i hadn’t realized about figure drawing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kK71t-I-2w Idk if it’s right for you but it helped me realize some sutff that helped me improve a ton! 3-This video is the one that really helped me understand how to draw hands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-SqpnZ2rnI It’s much more intuitive rather than technical and it made sense (at least to me!) 4- Here’s a tutorial series by Monika Zagrobelna on how to draw all kinds of animals in a more in-depth realistic manner, though if you skim through it you can easily pinpoint specific things you need for details. (e.g: how a tiger’s face or body type is different from a lion’s, can also be applied on anthros) http://design.tutsplus.com/series/h…..–vector-21311 5- Here are a bunch of tutorials on how to draw plus size people! (May include some mild nudity) Link one: (Femenine waist tutorial) http://pseudocide335.deviantart.com…..rial-519226797 Link two: (Hip tutorail) http://cubesona.deviantart.com/art/…..Hips-518222046 Link three: (Body type tutorial) http://projectendo.tumblr.com/post/141818095550 Link four: (Guide to drawing plus size girls) http://winterbramble.tumblr.com/pos…..-meant-to-do-a 6- I encourage you to use pinterest to put together some boards for inspiration, tutorials, poses, etc to help you out when you draw! Here’s mine, you might find some stuff that inspires you! https://www.pinterest.com/DragonbeanArt/
7- I suggest you get “The Art Of” books to look through, they’re incredibly inspiring and contain lots of exclusive art and info about the artistic process of any piece of media.
Some I’d recommend: The art of Zootopia, The art of Overwatch, The art of Spirited Away, The Art of Pixar, The Art of Up, etc. Any film your visually enjoyed should have a stunning The Art Of book! Also a helpful link to a blog with all kinds of paint tool sai brush settings!! http://ptsbrushes.tumblr.com/ AND FINALLY some links to some posts by me i think are important: 1-TIPS TIPS TIPS!! CHECK THIS OUT FIRST: http://dragonbeanart.tumblr.com/pos…..icely-any-tips 2-A lil ramble: http://dragonbeanart.tumblr.com/pos…..us-about-art-i 3-A bit longer ramble: http://dragonbeanart.tumblr.com/pos…..ou-get-to-draw 4-Oversharing at it’s finest. Conclusion: http://dragonbeanart.tumblr.com/pos…..did-you-reason Hope this helps! Remember that tutorials aren’t some kind of holy bible you have to follow meticulously and do exactly what they say you should.
Art has only one rule: there are no rules!
aaa im late for Schneeps missing anniversary
1) First time we spoke was a week after the beggining of freshman year she summed up my entire character and most of the events of my life Sherlock style. I asked her how the hell she knew all that. She just shrugged and said she figured out our entire class already.
2) The one time we had religion class instead of ethics she listened to the teacher for a few minutes, laughed and told me:
“Humans have wished to be gods so much they’ve forgotten they have to ability to create them. Imagination has truly suffered from this ‘monotheism’ stuff.”
I was confused and asked her if she was an atheist. She rolled her eyes and said:
“Oh I believe in god alright. I just don’t think the bastard deserves to be worshipped.”
3) Out of nowhere she gave me this advice:
“The only truth a liar ever told was that lies weren’t going to save you. Don’t become the liar who has to pass that wisdom on, because they speak from experience.”
4) To this day, she has one of those old-timey phones with buttons she only uses to ocassionally call someone. When I asked her why she never got a smartphone she got pouty:
“I hate social media. On Facebook they talk a lot but never say anything. If I wanted to listen to people moan about their problems and ask for help they don’t expect I’d listen to their prayers.” (Notice the choice of words)
5) I noticed she was stiff and I offered her a massage since I’m really good at it but when i started kneading her back I swear to this day those were not muscles I felt. I asked her what she did to turn her muscles into rocks covered with a thin layer of skin and she kinda froze then shrugged and said she was just really, really stiff. My hands hurt after ten minutes when I can usually go for an hour. Next time I offered she seemed surprised and laughed. She still has rocks for muscles.
6) We were having a debate over the way neural pathways are formed (I study biology and she forensics) and I jokingly asked if I could have her brain for study when she dies. She laughed.
“Sure, if you find a way to kill me you can have it. I’m actually curious what you’re gonna find.”
7) One time she was tired and miserable and I tried to comfort her. We both have really dark sense of humor so I told her she could scare the dead out of their graves with that glare. She told me the dead can’t come back and I rolled my eyes and said ‘obviously’ but she continued:
“When you die you descend to the underworld with nothing to lose. To keep you, they give you something to lose. When you want to return, they will demand it back. That’s why nobody ever leaves. The only way out is to never enter.”
8) One day she just came up to me with a disappointed look on her face. When I asked her what was wrong she was quiet for a few seconds and then just told me:
“Betrayals committed in good intentions are still damning. Just… keep that in mind.” Then she left and didn’t speak to me for three days. I still don’t know what she meant but even three years later I haven’t forgotten it.
9) We were casually sitting on a bench when, out of nowhere, she asked me: “Is it just me or have humans gotten dumber? Or have they always been this stupid and I just haven’t been paying attention?”
10) She asked me if I ever wondered what it was like to die. I said no but told her I would tell her when I found out. I meant it as a ghost joke but she smiled at me and said:
“Great. I’ll wait for you to come back. Maybe you’ll even remember me.”
In conclusion, she is some kind of low-key god and she lost her faith in humanity even before we lost our faith in her but she’s stuck with us because immortality is a bitch.
P.S. I just remembered her name is a variation on ‘Eve’. Maybe I should reconsider my atheist status?!
Increasingly verbose memes are cool again. Why? Because I said so.
writing advice: never italicize words to show emphasis! if you’re writing well then the reader will know and you don’t need them!
me: oh really??? listen up, pal, you can just try an pull italics from my cold, dead fingers
Guys, I’m not kidding.
Suicide-baiting, cyberharassmemt, cyberstalking, death/rape threats, and hate speech are illegal in all 50 states as well as Australia and the UK.
Some places include school suspension or expels. Some even include jail time for multiple years.
And yes, they can find someone by username or IP alone.
Also, yes. There are methods of catching someone’s IP. Even under a VPN.
So.
Next time you get hit with anon hate?
Casually remind them you can very easily take this to the next level. And they can earn jail time while you lay back in your chair, having saved yourself and everyone else from a violent criminal.
Make sure they learn that.
(Just in case there’s a “the police wouldn’t do that” - Yes. They absolutely would.
Or a “I can handle it.” No. That person will continue to harass others as well. And one of them may not be as strong as you. So do it for them and everyone else.
Or a “It’s not that severe.” Yes. It is. People have died because of this. It really is that severe.)
Take action. And make sure the lives of these bullies are truly wrecked.
Happy 2019!
This took forever because I hardly ever do backgrounds (let alone modern buildings), but here’s a happy Jackie watching some New Year’s fireworks! I really really like how it turned out!
Hope your new year is filled with JSE community fires and happiness! <3
Cheeky throwback
Great post but is that mayonaise???
“This is a real problem!” or “I can confirm that this is true!” because I guess us saying it’s a problem is not enough and we need your confirmation that we’re not making it up?
“As a white person…” if you’re saying that combination of words anywhere, please stop immediately. Especially if it comes right before a confirmation that we’re actually not lying and have received your White Stamp Of Approval™ (see point 1).
Any unnecessary affirmation of Yes, I Am white. Yes, I Support You (Because I’m That Great). Such as one I recently got that started with point 1, followed by point 4, and then… “much love from a white girl!”
REGURGITATING WHAT WE JUST SAID. USUALLY STUPIDLY AND MISSING THE ENTIRE POINT.
Writing an essay on the tags.
Talking about how Appalled you are that Fellow Whites would do That (and you totally never have).
“It took me three years to understand this, it seems it was written in some Alien language, but once I deciphered these Confusing, Barbaric and Strange strings of words, I have officially concluded that op is right.” You sound like a fucking scientist analyzing an animal species new to you. And DON’T cry “ableism!!!!!” I’m autistic. I can’t read long text either, my brain shuts down or flies off into the ether. I still don’t fucking go around telling, say, trans women that they speak as if they were from another universe but I was enough of an Ally to read it anyway while stressing how hard it is to understand them. You all usually do it to any post longer than three paragraphs with NO jargon that is very straightforward.
Criticizing and nitpicking tone or vocabulary that You Personally didn’t fancy, including putting words in our mouths that we never fucking said.
Adding a “take it from a white person!” to point 1. Why can’t they just take it from us.
Please just learn to zip it sometimes. It’s like you can’t stand for us to have more spotlight than you for five minutes and that you resent what we say so you end up being condescending. Please, stfu sometimes.
You especially love doing this to woc.
