I will defend teenagers rights to exist and be annoying in public until my death-

But some of y’all really gotta stop ruining it for everyone else

Signed, an ex McDonalds employee who’s store banned people under 18 without adult supervision because a bunch of teenagers smeared human shit on the bathroom walls

Multiple times.

If ya look real close all the shading is dots

But if you look that close you’ll realize I can’t shade

Got halfway through drawing a rat character for a digital media final project and realized I was drawing a furry

Now I have of course- TRIED to draw furries before with no luck.

Evidently I can only draw furries when I’m not trying to draw furries.

Also this has taken literal hours.

Literally never consumed any warhammer content except for watching my friend play Space marine II, did a little doodle for him which ended up becoming a full little drawing :D

You can tell where I gave the fuck up drawing the Chest thingy

Video games should have a, “havent played in a while” mode where you can just relearn all the controls and get caught up on what you’re doing 😔

So many games I haven’t finished and probably won’t because I know I’ll have to start over because I haven’t played in months and don’t remember the controls or what’s going on- and the longer I put it off the more confused I am

When you’re history-English smart but there’s no good jobs in that field so now you’re knee deep in fucking math because you thought being a Bio major would be fun

Question for other writers

When you guys think of plot points or story ideas do you imagine the scenes as like little movies in your brain or do you think of the words and narrate it like a lil audio book?

Because I was doing the latter as like a fun little thing for my brain to do while I’m trying to sleep and I was having a hard time thinking of like fancy descriptions and then I remembered I have a lil movie theater in my brain and I do not need to spend 5 minutes thinking of good words to describe the water while my brain is melting

I know pretty much nothing about Spider-Man except for the little I remember from watching the Tobey maguire movies when I was like 8-

But- from the clips I’ve seen of the spider verse movies. There’s a bunch of different spidermen from all the different universes and stuff

So like- are there any that *arent* spider themed? Like I get it you got bit by a spider and now you can climb walls- and yeah if you have webs coming out of your wrists definitely go with spiders

But

Like

Half of them make their web shooters.

Did any of them start climbing walls and decide to be like cat or mountain goat themed? Or? Just spiders?

Tips for new drivers

As someone who has seen so many people not know how to drive- and watched people get in wrecks for doing stupid things

1. Do NOT fuck with semi-trucks

I don’t care how Savvy of a driver you think you are, or if they’re driving like an ass

Do not drive next to them (this is annoying for people trying to pass, and dangerous. You ever see those big chunks of rubber on the side of the road? Yeah that’s because sometimes semi truck tires blow out.)

Do not break check them

Do not ride super close behind them

They are much bigger than your car or truck or van, they have massive blind spots- If you get onto an accident with one YOU are going to be the one injured or dead. Pass them quickly.

2. Use your turning signal

Even if you don’t think any one is close enough to you for it to matter- use it. All it takes is one car to come flying up from nowhere and if you try to get over and they don’t know, they will hit you.

3. Give motorcycles some space

this is the opposite of the semis- I don’t care how much of a dick that guy on a bike is being. Give him space- because if you get into a collision, you could kill them. Even if it’s not your fault- you will feel HORRIBLE about it for the rest of your life. Give them space, do not try and cut them off, do not break check them, etc.

4. Slow DOWN in bad weather

I know people who thought they were safe in their big four wheel drive trucks who then spun out on the ice and smashed into a railing.

If it’s pouring, if it’s icy, if it’s snowing- SLOW DOWN! Put your hazards on if you have to and stay to the right. Hell- pull over if you feel like you need to.

Let people honk their horns at you and flip you off. Getting home safe is more important than anything else. It’s not uncommon for people to go pretty slow in bad weather- just stay out of the passing lane

5. Assume everyone else is the world’s worst driver

You need to be ready for people being horrible drivers. Always. Check to make sure someone isn’t going to run that red light before you go, give that car ahead of you some extra space in case they don’t use their turning signal or suddenly break, do not ride next to other cars in case they swerve.

I do not care if the accident wouldn’t be your fault- you may think

“Oh I’ll let them hit me- their insurance might just pay for me to get a new car!”

You could die. You could get seriously injured. That irresponsible driver might have kids in their car that could get hurt. And yeah- that’s not your fault, but why wouldn’t you want to try and avoid that from happening if you can?

6. Get off your phone

Even if you think you’re the best person in the world at texting and driving- all it takes is one little thing. One kid darting across the road, one car slamming on their breaks, one especially deep puddle, or something in the road- and suddenly you’re driving headfirst into a tree or ditch.

7. Driver to driver communication

Sometimes- people will make gestures. They mean different things in different situations

-flashing your brights or hazards, this could indicate a ‘thank you’ for letting someone get over or merge. Or it could be someone trying to let you know of an animal crossing the road- and or other hazards

-waving at stop signs or intersections etc, this usually means someone is giving you the right away. This also applies to pedestrians at crosswalks. It’s a simple ‘go right ahead’, but if you take too long they might go anyway.

-Horns. Horns don’t always mean ‘Fuck you’, although they might! They might also be someone trying to alert you of an imminent hazard- especially during the day. If you think you’re doing everything right and someone honks at you- take a look around. There might be something they see that you don’t

-revving engines. This could either be them showing off- or if they seem to be looking and trying to talk or gesture to you- especially at a stop light, they might be trying to race you. Do not race people. This is in fact- illegal and dangerous

8. Don’t slow down on the highway to exit UNTIL you enter the exit lane/ramp

This is more of a personal thing than anything- but this was also told to me by both my drivers instructor and the class I took.

If you are getting off the highway- don’t slow down ON the highway. There are people BEHIND YOU, a lot of which will probably have cruise control on. Wait until you enter the Exit lane and then slow down.

Ideally you wait until all four tires are in the lane- if the lane is too short for you to slow down fast enough- at least get over quickly and try not to slow down too far ahead. If you must, make sure you have that turning signal on so people know you might slow down.

If I was super fucking rich or like royalty or a celeb

I would walk around with a cat 24/7. Id only eat at fancy restaurants that had patios even in the winter so my cat could eat- and they’d get him his own little chair and a plate of seafood because I’m rich and I’m going to give them lots of money

And I’d have fanpages where people who are a little bit too obsessed with rich people talk about my cat and get merch of him. He’d star in movies and commercials- and even fancy stories would let him inside because I’d be spending so much money.

Sometimes when I’m writing, I full on make up phrases or use random words as adjectives/adverbs

And if it sounds good- almost nobody EVER questions it. It doesn’t even have to make sense, if it sounds good in the sentence people will just use the surrounding context and other words to assume what you mean. Just have to be confident and you can get away with more than you’d think.

[arizonatea-and-nikolatesla]

Worst pat about being ‘the animal person’ is that if an animal doesn’t like me I actually WILL take it a personal moral failing on my part.

[arizonatea-and-nikolatesla]

Normalize stressing the right letter when you’re dragging out a word

Example

It’s not

‘Fuckkkkkkkkk’

It’s

‘Fuuuuuck’

(I mean unless you’re making a long k sound I guess)

It’s not

‘Whatttt’

It’s

‘Whaaaat’

ESPECIALLY when the word is dragged out in more than one spot

It’s not

‘Everythingggggg’ OR ‘everythiiiiiiing’

if the person is ACTUALLY saying

‘everyyyyythiiiiiing’

Brought to you by someone who is tired of reading this in messages/captions and being confused by why someone would talk like that

When I mention I’m writing a novel and someone asks how far along I am but I haven’t actually written anything- just made my fun lil characters and made random plot points that don’t connect yet
