Twinkle twinkle in the grass
Ninja leap to kick your ass
Scythes will swing and fists will fly,
Kunai jab right for your eye–
Twinkle twinkle in the grass
Draw your blade and fucking fast
i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice
it’s that time again (punk edit time)
Can you get them to turn their boombox down :(
no sorry

sorry if u already answered this question, but how do you scan your art? like via phone or a printer or smth else? It looks so good!🙏
poorly-drawn-mdzs answered:
I usually scan with a flatbed scanner in 400dpi, as I found it gave me the nicest quality without being too large, but 300dpi is also fine.
The secret to getting good scan quality is Know Thy Printer. Every scanner has its unique traits you want to compensate for, be it low contrast, over saturating, or washing out colours. My great art hack is adjusting for this post scan! I found duplicating and multiplying the layer (fading opacity based on need) helped fix a *lot* of issues with the ink scanning ‘washed out’.
Basic rules for analysing fiction, an incomprehensive list jotted down in a hurry:
- The protagonist isn’t always right
- The protagonist isn’t always good
- The protagonist isn’t always written to be relatable or likeable
- The narrator isn’t always right
- The narrator isn’t always good
- The narrator isn’t always telling the truth
- The narrator isn’t always the author
- The protagonist’s moral compass, the narrator’s moral compass and the author’s moral compass are three entirely different things that only occasionally overlap
- Pay attention to what characters do and not just what they say
- Pay special attention when what the characters do is at odds with what they say
- A lot of the time the curtains are blue for a reason. If they aren’t, you should read better books
One more:
12. The antagonist isn’t always telling the truth
So many times I have seen people apparently just … forget that it’s possible for fictional characters to be (a) mistaken or (b) lying, and say things like “we know this to be true because [character] said so here” (or, worse, “this fact is canon because [character] said it”).
The antagonist isn’t always telling the truth, the protagonist isn’t always telling the truth, the secondary and minor characters aren’t always telling the truth, the narrator may be telling the truth but if the narrator is also a character in the story then don’t count on it.
Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.
some people seem to think that being horny for a media is paradoxical to critical analysis but actually anyone who makes quality horny content is so knee-deep in critical analysis their horny content reads like an extremely led psych eval
it's time to move "vocabulary mixup lessons with sao" from twitter to tumblr!
today's common fanfic fuckup that slays the man:
flout: to disobey or avoid
flaunt: to loudly/ostentatiously display
these two are very disconcerting to see mixed up!! you don't USUALLY "flaunt" the rules, and you certainly don't "flout" your new outfit!
OH WHILE I'M HERE
have my most-seen and most-bothered-by one:
loathe: to hate (she loathed him, she loathes her, etc)
loath: reluctant (he was loath to leave him)
THE 'E' DOES make them different words! i'm sorry !! i'm sorry english is like this but i'm tired of this one!
the other classic:
my friends who write porn. this one is for you mostly. please.
lave: to wash (often with small, repeated motions) (this is the one you want)
this is a lathe:
photos by lassi rautiainen, susan brookes and staffan widstrand of a rare friendship that developed between a female grey wolf and a male brown bear in northern finland.
notes lassi, “no one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends, but i think that perhaps they were both alone when they were young and a bit unsure of how to survive alone. it seems to me that they feel safe being together.”
the photographers also note that the two share every meal together, bringing each other their kills (as seen in the third and fifth photos).
To YOU it’s bad writing. To ME it’s a very nuanced piece of work that explores subtle intricacies without outright saying it. And also it’s bad writing
haha that's a nice starry-eyed ambition you've got there buddy. sure hope the narrative doesn't warp it into something ruthless and all-consuming
