hey tumblr
this is a great website for those of you want to start learning sign language and its not limited to just england or america, it’s sign from all over the world!
simply type in the word you want to know, click the countries flag and watch the video demonstration of the sign.
[link: i highly recommend it to you all who want to start learning but can’t afford the tuition fees]. just click that sentence.
and it’s completely free!

Hey! I remember you saying you know Japanese. I was wondering if you know any free sites or apps to help learn (read/write) because right now I can't afford classes. But I'd really like to learn :)
I am SO SO sorry this is so late I hope you can forgive me :/ Anyway:
I’m not fluent, but I’m studying it, yes!
Before you start anything, I’d advise you keep a notebook where you can write your notes and references. This can be online or an actual physical notebook. I use both, I use Evernote for my online notes and I also write notes on a notebook.
A good starter website, would probably be Memrise. It should help you start your foundation as well as give you an outline of how to go about learning the language.
Here are some links to some of the Japanese language resource posts I’ve been able to find as well: [x] [x] [x] They offer a ton of links to apps, dictionaries and websites that can help you learn Japanese in different ways, such as the grammar, writing systems, vocab, etc. You will be doing a lot of cross-referencing so it’s good to have a lot of resources to choose from.
For the writing system in particular, tofugu has some good guides to help you remember hiragana and katakana and also kanji and basic grammar. For kanji in particular, I also use Kanji Alive.
You can probably find more stuff in my Japanese and Linguistics tags, and there’s many langblrs on tumblr that focus on learning Japanese that have way more resources than I do and can probably clarify things for you if you’re stuck on something.
Also, watching shows in Japanese and listening to Japanese music can also help you learn how the language works, in particular how it sounds. That’s the basics pretty much, if you have any other questions, let me know!
頑張って!!

Hell9, every9ne. It is a pleasure t9 6e here t9 answer any inquiries y9u have, 6ut I am a 6usy faun, s9 get t9 it.
So, because people writing inaccurate kid!fic bothers me, a quick reference to kids (Disclaimer: I have no professional background in child development, and no offspring of my own - this is all based on other people’s kids.):
Newborn: Person-larva. Cannot do much but eat, sleep, cuddle, cry, poop. Cannot hold their own head up. May pick up on the mood of the person holding them, but response to it is going to consists of either contentment or complaining. Those are pretty much the two states of a newborn: happily cuddly or expressing displeasure.
2 - 6 months: Somewhat more aware of surroundings, own appendages, etc. Will recognize people, like some better than others. Smiles, laughs, babbles. Somewhere in here rolling over commences, and possibly crawling. Starts teething.
6 -12 months: Lots of babbling, but no actual talking. Crawls, pulls self up to standing while holding onto things, may start wobbly independent walking. Some kids are climbers (may heaven help their parents). Eating some solid food (as in, mashed up stuff), but still nursing / drinking formula too. This is the beginning of the exploratory, everything-goes-in-the-mouth stage. Still teething.
1 year old: Has teeth, eats solid food. Many parents wean at this age, but it’s not unusual to continue breastfeeding. Talks, but probably not very clearly - pronunciation will be interesting, and vocabulary very limited. May repeat a new word incessantly. Points at things they want. Physical coordination and verbal skills increase as child gets older. Maybe develop utterly random phobias, usually of things that are new or unpredictable. Interested in other children, may mimic older children. Still sticks everything in their mouth.
2 years old: Speaks well enough to be understood by those who know them, but not necessarily strangers. Uses simple phrases. May mash words together to express a concept for which they don’t yet know the word, or make a word up. Is learning labels for things, though they may not be accurate (i.e. all old men are grandpa, all round objects are a ball, etc.) Knows colors, parts of the body, types of animals, etc. Walks, runs, dances, etc - basically the full range of physical stuff, just all of it is kinda awkward. Can roll a ball or throw it in a clumsy way. May have a favorite toy, security blanket, etc. May play pretend games or make up stories, but they’re likely to be fair inscrutable to adults. Wants to do things independently, but is likely to be easily frustrated. Has tantrums. Plays with other children, but not terribly good at sharing or being nice. Asks questions; the ‘why?’ stage has begun. Toilet training begins around this age; girls tend to get the hang of it quicker than boys.
3 years old - pretty much the same as 2, only a bit better at all of it. Asks a LOT of questions. Has friends. Plays pretend. Understands rules (though is unlikely to obey them very well). Can count, though not very far. Speaks well enough to be understood by strangers; you know that so-cute-you-could-die kid-speak people love to write? This is the appropriate age for it (up through about age 5).
4 to 5 - cutesy kid-speak is age appropriate. May still have tantrums, still not the best at sharing, but should be starting to get socially functional. Can throw or kick a ball, jump, stand on one foot, all that. Can count, recite alphabet. Some kids start learning to read and write arond this age, though it wouldn’t yet be abnormal for them not to be able to. Lots of pretend play. Emotionally intense; everything is dire. Learning to be self-maintaining, i.e. may bathe independently but needs an adult to wash their hair.
6 - 10 - speaks like an emotionally immature adult; the things they have to say are still kid-like, but they should be easing out of kid-speak. Reads, writes, can do math - these skills increase with age. Understands and (usually) obeys rules, has a concept of fairness, kindness vs. cruelty, etc. Forms tight friendships, keeps secrets, wants to fit in and be liked; having a best friend or a group of friends is the most important thing in their world. Wants to be good at things; has definite interests and academic strengths and weaknesses. May bully or be bullied; kids this age can be mean. As in horrifyingly so. Has crushes (though probably still finds it acutely embarrassing). Understands death. Kids this age will curse, though hilariously badly. Still wants parental affection, but probably not in public.
11 - 12 - mini-teen, which is to say emotionally vulnerable, short-sighted mini-adult. Naive still, but not terribly so - has a basic understanding of human nature, events around them, etc. Begins to form political / ideological / religious opinions. May begin reciprocal romantic attachments. Strongly focused on collective identity, what ‘niche’ or ‘crowd’ they identify with. Some girls start puberty. This is also the age of things going badly wrong; kids know which other kids are the sociopaths at this stage. While everybody else is learning how to not be a mean little shit to everybody unlike themselves (or a bitter perpetual victim), those few who aren’t developing in a good direction become downright terrifying.
13 - 15 - somewhere in here, kids will start either facing major adult-scale decisions and problems themselves, or seeing peers doing so. Shit gets real. This is why teenagers think they know everything; the rose-colored glasses of childhood fall off, and they are suddenly So Very Jaded and cannot imagine there being more to the world than what they can suddenly perceive now, because it is overwhelming. Likely to be angry at the world, likely to gravitate toward ideological extremes. Takes risks. Forms romantic attachments; may experiment sexually, may not, maturity levels here very A LOT.
16 - 21 - moody adult with far more curiosity than common sense. Does thing in grand and dramatic fashion. Experiments with different identities. Wants total independence. Many develop greater social maturity around this time; stop seeing others in terms of cliques, develop greater empathy and ability to see things from multiple perspectives. Forms romantic attachments that may be serious or even life-long.

shading colour tips
hey yall its me the Art Mom™ to help you shade pretty
rule 1: DO NOT SHADE WITH BLACK. EVER. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD.
red- shade with a slightly darker shade of purple
orange- slightly darker and more saturated shade of red
yellow- i think like..a peach could work but make it a really light peach
green- shade with darker and less saturated shade of blue or teal
blue- shade with purple
purple- a shade thats darker than the purple you’re using and maybe a little pink (MAYBE blue)
pink- darker shade of red
white- a really light lavender or blue..or i guess any really light colour??
black- okay listen dont use pure black to colour anything unless you want to leave it with flat colours because you cant really shade black lol
grey- a slightly darker shade of purple or blue (less saturated)
brown- slightly darker and less saturated shade of purple or red
aaaaand thats all i got lol. let me know if there is anything i should add to this list!!
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ THIS!!!! ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Coincidentally, I already use these exact techniques. I think these shades really help make colors pop!
As a bonus, I always stray away from coloring with any pure blacks or greys. Heavily desaturated blues, teals, and browns do the job better, IMO.
Save the color black for outlines if you want a real “comic” look. Stay away from coloring with black or grey until you draw something that’s 100% absent of light (black) or 100% absent of color (grey). When you finally use those colors for their intended themes, they’ll have a greater effect.
…THE THEME #1
1 / 2 / 3 / code
3 link options (buttons, pixels, dropdown)
optional sidebar pic (rounded, circle, square)
