Wait, I have something to give you!

[The heebie jeebies has been added to your inventory]

If you come across anyone who starts off with "Scientists don't want you to know..." you need to understand that they're lying. They're completely full of shit and working a grift.

Because they've never met or spoke with a scientist.

Scientists WANT YOU TO KNOW. Scientists want you to know SO MUCH. Scientists would be THRILLED to teach you EVERYTHING they know in EXPLICIT DETAIL. Scientists LOVE to share information and their findings and their theories. They don't want to hide anything, ever. They are SO HAPPY to share.

I sometimes browse the -for you - part of tumblr and I occasionally run into 'begginner artists' blogs that are 'learning to draw' 'become an artist in (insert a number lower than 150)day' or 'just joined this community' etc

And as an artist who learned to draw from cartoons and no artschool and still have my very very old art on paper an arms reach away, i can instantly see that

Yepp, all of em are just faking it to be a beginner.

Lets be fair it is VERY HARD to fake being a beginner at something you are actually good at.

But things like: putting in a muscle line in the tigh that usually no beginner knows is there because stylised art skips on it entirely is a pretty much giveaway.

Using perspective lines correctly on the head/face but making tiiinnny tiny (otherwise correct) hands on purpose... my dude.

You see the difference between a beginner and a faker is the way they 'see' and putting what they see on paper.

Everyone knows a bycicle's wheels are the same size and are relatively close to each other.

If you ask a beginner to draw a bike they will probably start with the two circles for the wheels. They will propably have fun putting in the lines in the wheel because thats fun too. A faker will not, they will mess up even drawing a proper circle.

A beginner artist is -trying-. They will draw a good circle. Because that is what their level is. Drawing a good circle and then drawing another circle the same size. That is their priority as a beginner. "What am I if I can't even draw a proper circle???"

A faker will just shit some egg shapes on the paper and pull random lines for the bike's skeleton. Because they don't care about circles or lines or bikes.

They are faking it.

Just guys... most of these fakers get really good in no time to 'impress you' and then all of a sudden it's all ai generated garbage with a shop where you can support their journey and give em money.

Please don't fall for it. There are real beginners out there and there are fakers who want money.

Remember. A beginner will care about the circles, about how round they are and if the lines meet or not.

Incredibly violent take of mine but I actually don’t think you need to relate to a story in any way to enjoy it. You can enjoy a story even if you can’t point at a character and insert some aspect of your personality or identity into them. In fact I would argue the need for a character like that to be present in every single story you experience is a sign of stunted growth.

I like when fic length/book length/movie length is its own punchline

characters: Ah, I'm so glad that's all over now :). But luckily that's done and dealt with and we can all resume our normal lives now :)

fic length: Chapter 9 out of 48

I’m not Christian, I don’t go to church anymore, and my pastor died, but when he was alive I’d sometimes go to his sermons and I remember one time he said “it feels good to hate, but we know that it isn’t allowed, so when we’re told that we’re allowed to hate someone we get so excited that we forget we’re supposed to love”, and if my humble atheist ass might borrow some church talk I’d like to perhaps submit that

Anyhow sometimes on the day to day I feel disgust or revulsion and I have to ask myself “is this a danger to anyone at all or am I just looking for something I’m allowed to hate” and a solid 98/100 times it’s the latter so once again thank you pastor D

This is why purity culture doesn't work btw You cannot live a good life if you cannot love...and making hate a requirement of that good life...makes love impossible.

recently when im tempted to say 'i'm gonna kill myself' i try to correct it into saying "im gonna walk into the river and become a trout" or some other form of that. this is my new thing

molabuddy

btw this has graduated into me just saying "the trout population will be affected" and then not elaborating

this post has genuinely helped me so i used it as inspiration for today’s hand lettering practice

When people argue that food from Chinese and Mexican restaurants in the US are not 'real' representations of that culture's cuisine ignore the historical reality that these dishes were developed by diasporic communities striving to recreate the flavors of home with available resources. Such criticism frames adaptation as a loss of authenticity, rather than recognizing it as a sincere and evolving expression of culture by people separated from their homeland.
