Anime— "Mushishi"

[tojustforart]

Seeing dude bros fall for Law's front he puts on is so funny. "He is a cold badass, he will cut you down with no remorse." Brother he tatted memories of one of the few ppl who showed him love all over his body, named his crew after the guy, and cries when he realizes he wasn't saved to fulfill a mission but because someone just loved him and wanted him to live. He loves comics and robots, he says he hates helping ppl while actively helping them. He let's ppl think he is dark and evil when he has avoided killing most ppl. Once he realizes the Straw Hats don't want him to feel like he owes them, he actively views them as a safe space to run to and sometimes loses himself to their antics. He tattooed death on his knuckles not because he causes it but to remind him that he is a doctor and he holds life and death literally in his hands when operating on others. His best friend is a polar bear in a jumpsuit.

He is cool, but first and foremost he is a repressed nerd with attachment issues.

"i hope death is like being carried to your bedroom when you were a child & fell asleep on the couch during a family party. i hope you can hear the laughter from the next room"

love it when characters do a sacrifice play ostensibly to save others but mostly so they don't have to face themselves

Do you have any tips for picking colors and choosing the composition for your drawings? Love your art soooo so much btw

picking colours: i know for a fact i already answered an ask like this once but i can't find it, my response is the same though: experience, knowing what looks good with what, practice, etc. sorry i can't be more helpful on that one

composition: for me i try to direct the eye of the viewer and introduce contrast between values and textures. i made this to sort of explain my main approaches

Areas of high detail can include lots of small lines, a grainy texture, halftones, etc. Either way there's a lot of things for your eye to get caught on. These areas naturally draw the attention of a viewer. So what I do is make sure those areas are the important parts of the drawing - these are the areas i want people to spend most time looking at. I use linear elements of the drawing to direct the eye to the detailed areas. But overwhelming detail everywhere I look can be offputting too so I include areas with low detail and no texture, negative space where the eye "rests", and place them in contrast with the highly detailed areas. This way, the important subjects of the drawing stand out more.

For an example of that, check out 'eye of the otherworld' and try to imagine what it would look like if i had added dense hatching/texture on the birds, and left the horse kind of flat and with a uniform texture. the birds would become the subjects of the drawing instead of the horse.

you can use this to subvert expectations too. by drawing the viewers eyes to an area and then leaving it blank where they expect to see something highly detailed, you can add a disorienting atmosphere - i did this in 'centaur of attention' to invoke the sensation of actually staring up at a rack of studio lighting and a presenter whose face you can't see while the cameras are rolling

Contrast in values (light/dark) is really appealing to the eye. In almost every example there I use black or near black right up alongside paler colours. I really really like value contrast so I use it a lot

hey boy don't kill yourself. green's dictionary of slang is available online and allows you to explore 500 years of english vulgarity. you can search by part of speech, source, time period, etymology, and usage. there's a whole category for gay slang. they even have specific citations listed so you can see the exact context for yourself. boy did you know that in 1927 "to kneel at the altar" was slang for "to sodomize"

[genderkoolaid]

some other hits:

Princess: an effeminate and relatively youthful male homosexual or lesbian (1931-4)

Daffodil: effeminate young man (1925)

To throw a fuck into: to have sex with (1919)

Top sergeant: a masculine lesbian (1939) [‘she takes command of the girls’ privates’]

Lily: penis (1919)

Wolf: sexually aggressive man (1847); a homosexual top (1918)

Soul kiss: a deep kiss, involving putting one’s tongue into one’s partner’s mouth (1907)

Tom: a lesbian (1909); [in 'old tom'] prostitute catering to lesbians (1966)

Church mouse: a male homosexual who frequents crowded churches in order to fondle any potential sex partners. (1941)

Discover one's gender: to accept or acknowledge one’s homosexuality (1941) / Lose one's gender: To return to living as a heterosexual

Minty: a masculine lesbian (1941)

Also a lot of early 20th century vulgarity is recorded in Letter from My Father, which is a collection of letters published by a man who's dad was, in short, a major slut and human disaster who wrote about his sex life for his son. It's insane. You can find copies of it online & it's a wild fucking read (literally!) and I think a really interesting look at the life of a person who goes against our stereotypes of what people in the past were "supposed" to be like.

Anyways feel free to add y'all's favs to this post. & if you use this for gay historical fanfic please share with the class

#OH THIS IS EXTREMELY EXTREMELY HELPFUL#writing#resources#saving for later#maybe i should move my 1920s story from '25 to '27 because..... bro..........

note for writers: these are dated to the first time they were recorded, not necessarily to their first use. I imagine for many of these, they came about naturally through spoken language before they were written down anywhere. This is especially true of more underground slang because it's probably being recorded (in ways we still have) the least. So if you wanna use a term but it's a little off date-wise, give yourself some wiggle room.

also gonna take this moment to highlight two more i found recently:

Best boy: a sweetheart, a boyfriend, a husband. (1893) [w the obvious equivalent term 'best girl']

Honeydripper or honeydrips: a sexual partner (1917)

Like. Honeydripper?????? That's so horny I can't stop thinking about it. We need to bring THAT back
