when you ask a knowledge keeper something and they say "good question"

[tepkunset]

No it's actually just that this post was specifically about me learning from older Native people whose role in the community is often referred to as a knowledge keeper in English, for their extensive cultural wisdom and knowledge. I'm okay with other people relating to the concept as well but please refrain from making fun of how we cherish those who are a core part in resisting genocide.

One of those times I'm reblogging something so I can find it again later

Q. A. B. by jihnari and specifically this chapter of Walking Study in Demonology by ijustwanttodestroy are both great examples of the insane shit you can do on AO3

I've had this little idea in my head for a while now, so I decided to sit down and plot it out.

Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be some sort of One-Worksheet-Fits-All situation. This is meant to be a visual representation of some type of story planning you could be doing in order to develop a plot!

Lay down groundwork! (Backstory integral to the beginning of your story.) Build hinges. (Events that hinge on other events and fall down like dominoes) Suspend structures. (Withhold just enough information to make the reader curious, and keep them guessing.)

And hey, is this helps... maybe sit down and write a story! :)

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?

It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.

[penanatomy-studies]

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

[zheida]

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

“small thread on drawing plus sized characters!”

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:

Oops I dropped my updated drive of DnD resources that I'd NEVER put the 2024 Player's Handbook on, or any other materials.

That would be so reckless of me. Who would leave 100+ DnD materials just laying around?

[rielzero]

Ohh, so I was looking at my storage and found these! I originally shared them on twitter before yeeting the platform. Anyway, feel free to use! Art memes for your oc :D

[tadfools]

I might've added the BG3 Art Book to my dnd assets stash

It' 100% does not have things like the 5e players' handbook + 5e’s character sheet, several gm guides, critical role's explorer's guide to wildmount, baldur's gate and waterdeep city encounters, 101 potions and their effects, volo's guide to monsters, both of xanathar's guides, a bunch of other encounters, one shots, and class builds

In no way are there any pdf’s relating to any wizard who may or may not be residing on any coast

(Edit that I’ve moved the folder to the new link above! So if you catch a different version of this post that link won’t work anymore!)

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

Color Like a Classic Comic Book

I'm doing some tinkering on Fauxstalgia stuff, and since I believe in sharing resources, here's an RGB PNG version of the official DC pantone guide, with the swatches re-sampled from current pantone standards. This set is from 1982, but should be generally believable for most stuff post-WWII.

The versions floating around online (two of which are under the fold) are scans of prints and are not accurate for color-picking.

Now, these colors would also be altered by the printing process, but for clean, pre-print versions, here's some authenticity.

The Galactic Emperor Sigma mythic skin theme sounds like it came out of a Pokemon OST to me so this crossover had to happen it was out of my hands

The concept I played around with while drawing this was that as a Gym Leader Siebren is still a scientist (his Gym and Lab are one in the same) and his interest is in how Pokemon innately come into their power. He often lets and encourages his Pokemon to levitate him and use their abilities on him for fun and research. His main interest is still black holes and other Pokemon-canon worm holes. He has also gotten the attention of a wild but friendly Cosmog that he is very curious about.

At some point there is an accident in his lab/gym and he alongside his Pokemon goes missing. He of course reappears as Talon Experiment Sigma, seemingly in possession of his own Pokemon-like abilities and power. His team of 4 is joined by two "gift" Pokemon, and Cosmoem appears to be linked to his very essence. In moments of clarity, some say he looks at the mythical Pokemon with sadness.
