JUST WHY?

randomness of my everyday

[lokidokeyartichoki]

I’m laughing cause this is hilarious, they turned of messaging after I called them out. But for those of you not in the know let me explain how gift card scams work.

If someone is offering to give you money, great!! There are a few ways to stay safe. Apps like PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay Cash, and internal banking transfers are all safe ways to do this although PayPal is generally a good way since you don’t need to give any personal info other than an email.

A scammer will ask you to purchase a gift card for them, and this is your first clue there is something phishy going on. If some one is genuinely trying to give you money they will not ask you to purchase something in order for that money to get to you.

If you purchase the gift card, they’ll ask you for the number on the card so they can refill it for you and give you the promised money. In a scam they will take all the money out of the card you purchased and then disappear.

I deal with this a lot at work. People calling folks and telling them their online accounts are locked and they need to purchase a gift card so they can pay to unlock them. It’s all bullshit. Please do not get wrapped up in the promise of money or in the fear or your accounts or devices not working. Think rationally, and if someone asks you to buy something so they can give you what they promised (money, unlocking your account, return of digital property) don’t do it.

Stay safe friends.

Ombre Hair Tutorial

Since Island Living comes out in a few days i thought i should share how I make ombre textures for hair if anyone wanted to do that since ombres would look really nice on mermaids :)

This tutorial assumes you have basic knowledge of blender and photoshop. What im going to do is make essentialy a mask for use in photoshop.

the steps i take:

0. open the mesh im making ombre textures for in blender

1. drag the 3 little bars shown in the 1st image to make a workspace

2. make a node editor as shown in image 2

3. tick the use nodes checkbox /image 3

4. go to the uv workspace and make a new texture /image 4

5. make it 1024 by 2048 /image 5

6. go to cycles render on the top of the page int the drop menu /image 6

7. go to the node editor workspace > add > texture > image texture /image 7

8. select the texture we created /image 8

9. then in the main mesh workspace go to texture paint /image 9

10. go to the option menu and get everything exactly as pictured in image 10

then tools again and paint the ombre in white

11. go to the uv workspace and save the texture we made.

what i do next is go to phtoshop use as a base texture the hair colour i want then i get the colour i want for the ombre , make a mask on that layer and then “apply image” the texture i created 

the above can also be used for painting a whole new texture inside blender i would ignore step 10. tho.

thanks for coming to my tedtalk

dm me if you have any questions (google IS your friend before asking me tho :) )

Credit to Grant Abbitt from whom i learned how to do these!!

[citadel-souvenirs]

Isn’t she like 50

[cookiicwumbs]

Hardcore par-core from those ppl. The fact that she felt it necessary shows how creepy and stressful the paparazzo are. it was like watching that one video of the lizard escaping a bunch of snakes 0_  0″

You drop a small piece of food on the floor, and decide to kick it under the oven/couch/whatever because you can’t be bothered to pick it up. As you’re walking away, you hear a very quiet “Thank you!” from under it.

[bixbythemartian]

“No problem,” I say, the words passing out of my mouth on autopilot, before my brain engages and I freeze.

I turn, and look at the fridge. It seems to be the same fridge that was here when I moved in. 

I mean, I’m also kind of embarrassed. I never do that, I know that’s how you get roaches, but my back hurts so bad that getting up and down is next to impossible, much less bending over. “Um, you holding up okay down there?” I ask.

There was silence. 

“I know that we’re probably the only apartment in the building that doesn’t have a bug problem. That’s, well, that’s you, right?”

Again, silence. But I know I heard it.

“Listen, I can’t really bend over right now, but if you’re down there and hungry, like, there’s half a rotisserie chicken in there that’s about to go bad. I was going to throw it away, but if you could use it-”

“Yesssss. Please.” 

Well. Whatever it is, it’s well-mannered, anyway.

[antivancrowsmoved]

anyways child pageants should be illegal

[antivancrowsmoved]

as a former pageant kid the amount of emotional abuse i went through because of my mother always pushing me to be beautiful and then blaming me and hating me when i didnt win was fucked up. being a pageant kid gave me an eating disorder and has seriously fucked with my self esteem. don’t put your kids through this. don’t let your 5 year old be objectified by others and yourself. 

[roskii]

Also the pedophiles in beauty pageants is rather… disgusting

[pretty-little-corpse-doll]

Story time motherfuckers:

Pageants aren’t good for older kids either. One of my friends from dance was a pageant queen and she loved it and tried to get me to do it. I was actually accepted into the National American Miss pageant (supposedly, first steps to the Miss USA and the Miss Universe pageants according to my pageant friend). Gaby (my pageant friend) let me try on one of her dresses and talk to one of the pageant leaders before I gave them an answer. The bullshit I was expected to do (I was 14 at the time) was un-fucking-believable. The “day of” pageant diet was eggs white and a small unseasoned chicken breast with water and crackers and water the rest of the day to keep your tummy slim, you are required to get a spray tan and keep it touched up every two weeks and no, the pageant doesn’t pay for that, you do. They said my hair was too short and I’d have to get hair extension or buy a wig but extensions would be preferred (again paid by me). I shouldn’t smile with my mouth open, why? Because I had braces. THIS BITCH LOOKED ME IN THE EYES AND SAID THAT MY FOREHEAD WAS A LITTLE TOO HIGH AND MY NOSE WAS TOO WIDE AND THEYD HAVE TO SPEND “EXTRA TIME” IN MAKEUP SLIMMING IT DOWN THEN JOKED (IN A VERY NOT JOKING WAY) THAT I SHOULD GET A NOSE JOB. I WAS FUCKING 14!!! This woman also kept telling me i needed to “trim up” to be fit enough for the pageant (i was severely underweight at this time. More on that in a moment). The minute I was shown pictures for the bikini competition, I broke down crying, ran into the changing room and got dressed. I told Gaby and the pageant leader I couldn’t do it. Gaby was completely fine with it but the pageant leader? Said I was being a huge brat and should try it. I lit into her saying that I have very low self esteem and that I also have a gastric condition that caused me to fall down to 89 pounds not long ago and I was still trying to put weight back on (I weighed barely 100 at this time and I should have weighed around 125). Well the pageant leader supposedly talked shit about me to the other pageant girls. Gaby came back to me at dance and announced she had quit pageant life because she noticed the emotional and even physical abuse they had all gone through.

It’s not just child pageants. It’s beauty pageants in general. They are fucking disgusting and shallow and should be ended completely.

[thepiscesactor-deactivated20121]

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

[minotaursauce]

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

[xaldien]

“You’d be surprised”, said Xaldien, who just lost four followers and received a lovely “men can’t be raped” anon shortly after reblogging this the first time.

[minotaursauce]

Yowch, disgusting.

[samuraiko]

If I don’t reblog this, assume I’m dead.

[glory-of-hera-blog]

Always reblog this

[nygmobblepot-der-pool-deactivat]

If you Dont reblog this if u see it then i cant call u my friend

[witchofthefuture]

IF ANYONE TELLS ME THAT MEN CAN’T BE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE, I AM SICKENED BY THEIR MERE PRESENCE ON MY BLOG.

If you disagree with me, unfollow my blog, block me and never look at my blog again.

If you want to debate about this or send anon’s about this, I will reply but your actions have consequences.

[witchofthefuture]

Out of 19000+ followers I have, only one of you actually reblogged about this issue, yet a lot of you have reblogged and liked a picture by playboy about catcalling and that how men should never do it.

Additionally, I have received abuse in my ask box (which I will be answering when I can) and threats. In particular death threats and rape threats.

I can see the real problem here already. Male domestic violence and rape is just invisible in our society because we don’t want to talk about this because it just damages the status quo of this fucking website.

[tarothy-deactivated20230301]

I’m a male victim of child sexual abuse. We matter. Please, reblog this.

[happerbunny-deactivated20211002]

Please never forget male victims are real and it can happen to everyone/anyone

[smolkingofhell]

I’m a boy , and when i was younger I was sexually assaulted every damn day for three years by my younger step SISTER, So don’t go saying that ‘boys can’t be raped’ bull shit

[yviinfinite-deactivated20181014]

This is so important. That kinda shit can happen to everybody

[biyorozu]

Anybody can be raped, and anybody can be a rapist

[stay-inside-the-salt-ring]

Always reblog, because some people dont see men as also being victims, and they are

[screamingfrenchfries]

ANYONE CAN BE RAPED OR SEXUALLY ABUSED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM

[raspberry-lava]

Why do people to around saying “women are raped all the time” and not give a shit about the guys that have been raped?

[heonythighs]

I don’t usually reblog things that are like “reblog if-” but this one hits too close to home and I feel it needs to be shared

[cookiicwumbs]

Reblog because my bestfriend is a survivor.

[sicktress]

Every time I see a recast on the bud tag I get even less of a motivation to sculpt and that was already minuscule to begin with.

[cookiicwumbs]

Then did you ever really want to? Don't let something scare you from doing something you love. Recast or not your art is still your art. Their are different ways of sharing it with the world.

[sacarozen]

Heeyyy you!  Yes, you reading it!  Take part in my army of Phantom Quartz. They are the elite of Blue Diamond.   Living in the shadows and are under the guard of a Ghost Agate! @baited-in The powers:  Intangibility:  nothing can touch your body;   Invisibility: They become invisible; Possession: They can control the gems when they lean on her head, the hand enters the head as in a possession;  Float: Yes, they can float; Ilusions: Can create illusions to go unnoticed in the crowd.   Create your own Phantom Quartz with this uniform and BECREATIVE!!! I’m going to give this gem among the top 100 to reblog (but in a better art)

[prof-peach]

Could not resist, thank you @sacarozen for the great army design idea!

I will have to do some proper art for this gem, she’s just so much fun to draw??

She still spooks my soul

[pure]

I wish i could find this one article written in I believe the 90’s that went under the radar on abortion. The author said that the “life” arguments are basically useless on either side and what actually matters is that humans shouldn’t have a right to use other human bodies as a resource without consent no matter how alive or sentient they are, even if they’re on the brink of death you have the right to deny them access to you. It probably was too radical for pro-choice activists back in those days but like…that’s the most robust arguement lol so we need 2 being that back and dead the pontifications and splitting hairs about “life” in my honest onion

[pure]

I found it. Actually, it was written in the 70’s. She was way ahead of the curve.

The article is ‘A Defense of Abortion’ by Judith Jarvis Thomson. Essential reading!

[soprie]

If you cannot demand that a person donate their organs to keep you alive, you have no right to legislate that an embryo gets to use a woman’s body to keep itself alive without the woman’s consent.

[cookiicwumbs]

I used the argument about not forcing a dead persons to donate their organs and the person I was arguing with said. "We use to" and "are you dumb? Have you never heard of an organ donor?" And in that moment I realised I was wasting my time trying to explain that if we don't force something on the dead why do it to the living?
