Xanyr the Azure Beast

Just a blog for whatever I like really. And occasionally posts about my thoughts, feelings, or life.

You know what’s some crazy $hit?

This fabulous bitch

She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense).  I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen.  Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs

or for full on fight sequences

or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.  

this bitch hooked me up.  

And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like

or this

or this

DUDE!  INASNE SHIT!!  So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash.  Lemme dole it out for her.  BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!!  This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.  

I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock.  You’re worth it.  

Check out this amazing woman’s stuff, and get knowledged:  https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock

[brainmuncher]

I have been following her for years on deviantart.

Highly reccomend checking her out. She’s the best. If I had any money to throw I’d throw it at her for providing such a big help in my life.

This hero doesn’t wear capes, she instead wears (and looks utterly flawless) in tank tops(?)

[anstarwar]

Interrupting my regular Star Wars BS to reblog this because @senshistock is amazing and beyond worth the follow and support!  I first started using her refs gosh I want to say back in maybe 2008, and I’m happy to be a supporter of her over on Patreon.  If you’re an artist please go find her stuff on all the platforms, you will not regret it!

[cacodaemonia]

Yessss, she is so awesome! Been following her for years. My favorite stock artist is jademacalla, who is, incidentally, in the last two images above. He has a lot of great angles, costumes, gear, etc! I love his hands, too.

[thatdisasterauthor]

Just so everyone knows, she recently stopped using the name SenshiStock and switched to AdorkaStock! All her links and socials have switched to that. Also she has a TikTok of her doing the poses live, which is stupid useful because you can pause it at any point in the pose for just the right reference.

[solassitudes]

my singing voice is good for showers and mornings in the kitchen and drunken nights and lullabies for babies who need sleep and im okay with this

[solassitudes]

i think it’s silly to be ashamed of your art because it’s not in a museum and of your voice because it’s not selling out stadiums. there will always be people who enjoy and appreciate what you can do.

[rosesastrology]

Idk why but this hit me really hard and I’ve been staring at it for a couple minutes.

“In this scene, Catwoman wants to whip off the heads of four mannequins. And Michelle’s three months of training really paid off. She performed this difficult and potentially dangerous scene perfectly on the very first take.”

“The trick about it is, it is traveling faster than the speed of sound. So, there’s a certain hazard to it because it can cut skin, it can break bones. She is doing things with the whip that will make Indiana Jones green… that 90 percent of the people who do this for a profession can’t do.”

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Michelle is best Catwoman. (I will allow for disagreements only if your argument is for the also fabulous Eartha Kitt.)

One of the baristas at a nearby Starbucks makes me lose my mind every time I’m working there by saying things that are not outside the spectrum of normal human words but are just slightly off-the-wall.

Barista: Welcome to Starbucks, home of delicious, what deliciousness can I put in motion for you today?

Customer: … Can I get a trenta pink drink please?

Barista: Go big or go home, we here at Starbucks appreciate your commitment, what else can I get started for you?

***

Customer: Nitro cold brew with shots of espresso please.

Barista: Brave of you to commit to staying awake for three days, anything else today?

***

Barista: *slams open drive-thru window* HI HOW ARE YOU?

Customer: …I’m pretty good.

Barista: Are you ready to be even better? Because you’re about to be. *hands them their coffee* 

***

Barista, realizing that a drink was made wrong: *slams open window* SO how do you feel about surprises?

Customer: ….they’re okay.

Barista: Great because I’m about to give you one.

***

Barista: You have two drinks so I am going to hand you two straws which means, FANTASTIC news, these straws double as drumsticks. / You have one drink so I am going to hand you one straw and, promise not to tell anyone, this straw doubles as a magic wand.

***

Barista: Here are those cake pops, I plucked them fresh from the tree myself.

***

Barista: *slams open window, holding drink* Amazing, fantastic, delicious, you are a very lucky man/woman!

***

Barista, realizing drink is being delayed or remade: Looks like it’s gonna be just one minute so they have time to put the extra love in.

***

Barista: I’ll be with you in one hot second. *beat* WOW that second sure was hot!

Anyway she has a few dozen catchphrases she rotates appropriately and it’s both distracting and fantastic to listen.

[bumblebeerror]

She sounds like a fuckin riot and I want to tell her she’s doing amazing

[azurexanyr]

As someone who also goes out of his way to make my customers happy and enjoy their shopping trip just a little bit more, I must say... I love this woman. I don’t know who she is, but I love her.

Are they actually trying to gatekeep metal from Rob fucking Zombie? Go cry some more, here’s Babymetal with Abbath.

[sciencebranchblues-deactivated2]

Rammstein accepted Babymetal as one of their own, that’s good enough for me.

[darkmelodies27]

What I’m getting from this is Babymetal is collecting Metal Grandpas and Dads and I for one, love it.

[azurexanyr]

Not gonna lie, I’m not much of one for Metal music... But I will ALWAYS support Metal Bands supporting and adopting Baby Metal in spite of others trying to shittalk them <3

Something I’ve talked about before and find super helpful! Finally in a visual!

[deathgarden69---moved]

This literally changed my life you guys don’t understand every time I almost relapse I think of this and I stop I’m two weeks clean because of this post I love everyone who reblogged this thank you all so much

[lemoncheshire]

The only celebrity drama I want to know about is the latest way Stuart Semple has roasted Anish Kapoor. Everything else is dumb and none of my business, but the second that pretentious asshole bought Vantablack and said no one else could use it, it became everyone’s business. Stuart Semple has my love and support.

[frottinq]

saw a picture of a white guy who went to a Cuban supermarket, and ordinarily they go "LOOK AT ALL THESE EMPTY SHELVES" except all the shelves were completely full, what they were complaining about now was the fact that there was only one brand. It goes to show you that no matter what, they'll say anything, it doesn't matter what the argument is, as long as they can blame socialism for something.

[frottinq]

[gun-flame]

Yeah cause there’s any difference between that and this

[smitethestate]

He claimed that there were huge lines to get into the store yet somehow had no photos of the lines and there are no other people in the photos he took in that store completely stocked full of food.

[legendsofmovement]

The thing is, it is very difficult to acquire sometimes even basic food items in Cuba. It isn’t because of socialism but because of embargoes and sanctions that the U.S. places on Cuba.  Here is a link to an article on it from The Conversation.

[pinche-aquarius]

Choice and competition are an illusion in the US. As a side note, this isn’t even actually a “supermarket”, grocery stores do exist in Cuba, but this isn’t one of them, this man is lying. From what I’ve read these types of places are known as restaurant supply wearhouses, which is common in Cuba. The grand majority of Cubans don’t shop in these places (which is why I know he’s lying about the long lines he couldn’t even show proof of), most get their groceries from farmers markets/local vendors, which in my opinion is pretty neat. Also, this man has never clearly been to Costco or Trader Joe’s.

[chiripepe]

Was waiting on the embargo being mentioned before reblogging 😎

Daily reminder: some points = better than no points.

I came to class today completely unprepared and bombed the 10 point quiz. I got one question right purely on luck.

But you know what? 20% is better than the 0% I would have gotten if I had skipped class.

And it will be okay.

[abcsofadhd]

This took me 6 years of failing to learn.

I would skip tests and miss assignments I hadn’t fully studied or completed. I dunno why. Perfectionism? Maybe cause in my head, an automatic 0 was better than low grades, which would be proof I was struggling? Who can say.

Then at the end, I would fail getting 37-38%. Had I just submitted the half completed assignments or taken the half studied test, I might have passed instead of failing.

Some points is always better than no points. 

[emmeetslawschool]

This is also broadly applicable to life where there are no "real" points. But some cleaning is better than no cleaning. Some progress on a project is better than no progress on a project. A short time getting active is better than no time being active. etc. etc.

[anachronic-cobra]

Alien: You’re telling me that in times of great distress humans have been known to suddenly gain the strength necessary to lift objects more than a dozen times their own weight?!

Human: Yeah, it’s called “hysterical strength” and it usually happens in life-or-death situations, like when someone gets stuck under a car or something and someone lifts the car to get them out. We can’t really test it though, ‘cause it only happens spontaneously.

Alien: Humans have the ability to tap into untold strength and power and you don’t even know how you do it?

Human: Pretty much, yeah. We think it has something to do with temporary analgesia, so we just don’t feel the pain we should when we pick up a 3000-pound car.

Alien: YOUR PAIN RESPONSE JUST SHUTS OFF?

Human: Yeah, it’s like an adrenaline thing? Do you not have that?

Alien: Fuck you and your entire species of tiny juggernauts.

[alexyquest]

Did this post just use a dialogue format to trick me into learning science

[udunie]

Had to check this out on wikipedia at least and boy was that a ride

[atepa09]

SCIENCE!

[not-a-bot-i-swear-deactivated20]

Just so you guys know. Hysterical strength is basically your body not holding back and going %100 though there is a great danger of you hurting yourself or breaking something since your ignoring pain and going %100. There was a case where a kid deadlifted a car to save a sibling but,cracked 8 of his teeth during it because he was clenching his jaw so hard. So whilst you can lift a car or fight off polar bears. Your probably going to break something. Because most of the time when we are “giving our all” we are only giving a fraction of what we could give and this is because if we truly give our all we can seriously injure ourselves.

[celestial-naiad]

This is literally an explanation of Deku and his abilities with One For All.

[such-justice-wow]

Humans naturally hold back because our muscles have enough strength to rip themselves apart

[thathealeygirl]

STOP GIVING THE ALIENS REASONS NOT TO VISIT.

[salamencerobot]

@celestial-naiad the whole one million percent smash was actually hysterical strength, according to horikoshi.

on an unrelated note, did you know that if all the muscles in your back clenched at once your spine would shatter? have fun!!

[celestial-naiad]

Thats a horrifying and empowering thought at the same time.

[silent-calling]

Also: when you are sufficiently electrocuted and “thrown back” what is actually happening is your muscles contracting so hard and fast you essentially fling yourself away from the dangerous thing.

[jadensilver]

This is the same stuff that stops you from biting off your own fingers and whatnot. Our brains just say ‘no, don’t,’ whenever we try to do some dumbass shit, until we reach the point where it’s either do the dumbass shit or die/watch someone else die. I think it’s really cool though that we can shut off this function for others than ourselves. It shows a lot how we truly are social creatures at our core, that we don’t just do this when it’s our own body that might die, but for others in our community as well. 

[sindri42]

This is why a zombie would be extremely terrifying for a short period, and then neutralize itself. No fear and no pain means it could rip apart the gates to your fortress with its bare hands, but it would tear its arms or break its back in the process and never do anything very dangerous again.

This also means that anybody with a magical super-healing power would essentially get super strength out of the mix for free if they could get past the psychological limitations. That’s probably what makes vampires so strong; they don’t actually put out any more force than a normal human but they repair any damage they take in the process almost instantly.

@krunchy-tuna why would you hide this hilarious comment in the tags

[anachronic-cobra]

Aight I know I’m OP but I gotta reblog for appreciation of that comment
