(Mage Of Void) I Dissapear Often Cuz Magic @dangerousfeline - Tumblr Blog

"The goddesses and mortal women who do appear in myth are mothers, wives, mentors, temptresses, ogresses, and victims. Occasionally, like Daphne, they are mysterious alien creatures without voice and whose motivation, power, and behavior thus remain enigmatic.

These are promptly dismissed, placed outside the primary narration or they become part of that which the hero must overcome. The women who remain figures in the central narrative play supporting roles in the stories of heroes. Danae, for instance, was entombed with Perseus, but only Perseus emerged heroic Neither Theseus nor Odysseus would have accomplished much without the intercession of Ariadne and Athena, but the stories are of the hero' triumph.

There are stories which focus on women. The often analyzed myth of Psyche tells of a wife who learns to contain her curiosity and become deferential, and the tale of the hapless Atalanta tells first of her hero behavior in the Calydonian boar hunt then discredits it as inappropriate of a woman.

There seems to be no acceptable, self-determined heroine in the bunch. Women are props in the hero's drama...Women are furtionaries, backdrops in a mythology which insisted, sometimes with notable aggression, on the metaphoric centrality of the hero.

—Meredith A. Powers, The Heroine in Western Literature

So as you see... Vivzie writes female characters closely at the level of Ancient Greece.

Octavia only exists to be a daughter. Loona is a daughter and the only time we see a softer side of her is related to a man— either her crush on Tex or excusing Stolas to Octavia. One time with Blitzo in the Beelzebub episode, because god forbid we have an episode without him.

Millie is a wife. She's a warriorress but she's more of a tool and doll than her own character. In the episode where we meet her entire family, the focus is on Moxxie. In the episode where we meet Crimson, Millie's role is of wife and emotional support person.

Stella is just the angry bitch, just a slightly more intimate Verosika and less wanted Barbie. Glitz and Glam are just the mean girls. We can barely tell them apart and they somehow suffer more damage than the main asshole Mammon.

Admittedly, Vivzie does something different than the old myths(or most media): the men are weak (and stupid) and the women are strong and smarter. Stolas loves to be a damsel in distress. Moxxie did become competent after an entire season. Striker is still a threat but he's a joke. Crimson is another joke. Chaz was a walking sex joke.

Mothers somehow suffer worse than old Disney's. They're in the background like Lyn(Millie's) and barely make any scene. They don't even have a name and exist in images— Moxxie's mother. Meanwhile we can't even be sure who the hell Blitzo's mother is, we can only hope it's the Tilla from the pilot.

Who's Stolas' mother? Did he become orphaned young, was she exiled or imprisoned? Who cares, Paimon and Cash Buckzo are sooo interesting as parents and show us why those characters are the way they are/s.

We revisit Fizz's trauma and Barbie was edited out in the final product. Did the mom never matter? We can see the dad and we see little Fizz, but no Barbie and the mother? Even though Blitzo spent an entire episode looking for her?

It's like Vivziepop does everything in her power to avoid writing women. It's like she has a phobia of them. I'm sure she truly doesn't, but I just have to wonder how the hell do you avoid the same female characters that have more appearances in the merchandise?

DaniDraws is an anti but she's so fucking gross. She already took inspiration from bird genitalia and made a how-to guide drawing about it for Stolas. The cloaca is canon so whatever.

But then she fucking does this. It's fucking gross and idiotic.

First of all, Bee wasn't a world famous twitter artist. Not everyone knew her. How the fuck do you know that everyone that followed her recently had known her when she was a minor? Why is that not only logical to you, but you gossip about it and shame her and strangers?

Secondly, Bee has been posting soft NSFW since she turned 18. She has extended her boundaries in her own pace and put it public. There's nothing wrong with that.

Also... People grow up. You were a child, I was a child, we all grew up and got into NSFW. If it was real life, then suddenly sharing nsfw with someone you saw for for, what, two years might be weird. But this is the fucking internet. Bee is a twitter artist. Dani is talking like Bee had been a Tik Toker or a singer. No, she's an artist. People are interacting with her work.

You don't automatically become sexually attracted to an artist because of an NSFW. A NSFW piece is not an Only Fans. It's detached from the artist enough that you can be aroused by it and the artist will be comfortable since it's something they made, not them.

So Dani thinking, then posting this? You're the fucking creepy one.

There's a ghost in Amity Park.

It wears a human face.

murphy-kitt

I have an au idea where Danny loses his memory everytime he goes ghost and turns human again, so he doesn’t know he’s part ghost.

After the accident, Danny doesn’t have any control of his powers, so his ghost half runs off of every instinct it has instead. If he feels threatened by the ghosts, or someone is in danger, or they’re in his “territory” his ghost half takes over and he runs purely off that. No one ever catches Danny transforming because his ghost instincts make him feel really overwhelmed, so he’ll go some place alone that he’ll feel safer. Which is why it’s so confusing to Danny when he comes back into “consciousness” (detransforms) that he’s injured, and in a place that he definitely wasn’t beforehand.

Bit of continuation sketches of the staffbot mike au (inspired by @glam-rock-freddy)

-Mike can`t talk in this au because staffbot`s voice boxes arent that developed, only a few have the right voices to be able to talk. He mostly communicates with a tablet or beeping noises

-Mike`s first instinct when he sees the other animatronics is to protect Gregory, but he fails when the others catch him and Vanessa wipes the floor with him (she`s had a rough week ok)

-Headcanon that he was the one to make music man, so when he finds the tiny animatronic wandering in the vents he brings him to the office to fix his coding (Music man is not happy about it)

-After he gets a bit used around Freddy, he meets Sun but hes very weary about the sun faced animatronic, more than with the others

-Hes hostile and distrustful of the other animatronics for good reasons

-Vanessa makes him work like hes another employee in the pizzaplex. He does night/day guard duties (The others have to force him to rest, because this workaholic idiot doesnt know the word break)

-“I will fight any animatronic” he swore to himself, *Sees DJ Man* “but that, that I won`t try to fight”

I was planning on posting something else before this, but it's taking too long so... *throws this into the void*.

FNAF SB AU inspired by @glam-rock-freddy `s Staffbot!mike au. Please check out their fanfic! Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/36604303/chapters/91300471

In this au we follow the Princess Quest Savior Ending. After freeing Vanessa from her alter ego, Gregory stays in the pizzeria and helps Vanessa in fixing the other animatronics and Freddy. After a week of living in the megaplex, Vanessa and Gregory find one of Vanny`s hideouts that seems similar to the one of Parts and Service. In there they find a weird deactivated staffbot strapped to a work table….

Will probably continue in future notes :P

Additional Notes:

-Vanessa doesn`t remember her time as Vanny that much

-After golden Fred`s body is destroyed, Evan and Cassidy separate. But Evan finds himself back but possessing Fredbear plush

-Helpy survived the fire but he is not found until much later, Mike made sure to salvage him before he died.

-Mike is not happy with his situation lol

-Staffbot Mike`s eyes turn black and purple pinpricks appear when he starts acting unstable

Wow, its been a few years since I posted anything here. If youre still interested in my art, you can find me on twitter through this link: https://twitter.com/sadplushie1

Q&A: Bullet Drop

Where do snipers tend to aim when they are going for a kill? Are they more inclined to aim for the head or do they take the easier shot and try for the heart?

Usually, above the target, and ahead of them if they’re moving.

We’ve talked about bullet drop before, but the basic concept is that the bullet is a physical object, and affected by gravity. The scope will be zeroed to a specific distance. For example, it might be zeroed for 50m, 200m, whatever. If you’re aiming at ranges closer than that, the scope will be slightly too low, if it’s beyond that range, the scope will be calibrated too high. In either case, a sniper can adjust, and this is the entire purpose of the striations in a rifle scope. These will represent the drop over a fixed distance. Combine that with a rangefinder (if the range is not known), and an experienced sniper will, likely, be aiming over their target’s head at long ranges.

How much the bullet will drop depends on the cartridge and rifle being used. This is part of why snipers are very possessive of their rifles.

This creates a situation where, at long ranges, even if you know the exact range, it is safer to go for a body shot if the option is there.

The second part of where they aim is “leading” the target. Again, a bullet is a physical object, and while it’s moving very fast, it’s still going to take time to travel to the target. If the target is moving the sniper needs to account for that and aim where the target’s path will intersect with the bullet, rather than aiming for where the target is currently.

Additionally, wind and other factors can affect the bullet’s flight path, particularly at longer ranges, meaning that the sniper needs to account for those as well.

So, where do they aim? Not at the target. They’re aiming somewhere in the general vicinity of the target, based on the physics involved.

As for where they want the bullet to connect? Headshots are flashy, but center of mass shots are far more reliable. At that point, it’s a personal choice by the shooter, which they’re going for.

LOTS O’ Tips on Writing: Blindness

Hey y’all, so I’m not really a reference blog exactly, but I figured I would share some of my experience in writing (and in life) with a character type that a lot of people seem unsure of how to represent. That would be characters with partial or complete blindness. I myself have one character who is completely blind, and I too am on the low-sighted spectrum, so I figured I’d clear up a few misconceptions about characters with blindness! This is a long post, so part of it is under a read-more, but I include subjects ranging from medical details to describing non-visual senses to handling romantic relationships.

1) Blindness is totally a spectrum. Someone who is legally blind at 20/200 vision doesn’t see “nothing but black”. In fact, people who are legally blind can sometimes see enough to use some adjusted devices or read large-print books! Legal blindness (or low vision) means that someone’s eyesight is very poor even with their highest corrective lenses. 20/200 means that something 20 feet away from them has the same definition as something 200 feet away from a well-sighted person. That’s why 20/20 vision often represents “perfect” vision, because objects at 20 feet look like they’re… well, 20 feet away. Sometimes, legal blindness can be caused by natural degeneration from severe myopia (nearsightedness) from age, extreme strain, or just genetics.

2) When thinking of what a visually impaired person experiences as far as sight, ask yourself if the description is necessary first, then listen to interviews or podcasts for a description if you do need it. Please don’t take the word of someone with no eye function at all and apply it to someone with severe myopia or cataracts, because blindness varies. People with one cause of blindness may have cloudy vision, extremely blurred vision, ‘missing’ spots in their sight, or lack of color, while someone without any eye function (or without any eyes at all) will wonder why you’d even ask! Often “a black void” or “nothing but white” isn’t exactly true. Someone who doesn’t see color or light won’t see a lack of light either! Black? White? What? You really don’t have to even describe what they “see” unless they are partially-sighted.

3) Characters with all forms of disability can still do some badass shit. They can defend themselves as well as another character, they can learn to navigate a new space, they can play games and run and be athletic. They can be artists, musicians, or even own their own business. They can do their own household chores. They can be great parents. They can use modern tools and devices with the right adjustments. Don’t be afraid to let them accept - or ask for - help, but please don’t make it seem as though they’ve become useless. Give them all kinds of talents! (for example, my visually impaired muse can channel spirits, tends to her own herb garden, and is a classically-trained soprano. Possibilities are endless, you guys!)

4) Cause of blindness should be known if you insist on describing your character’s full facial appearance and how their blindness affects them. But remember this: you don’t have to draw attention to the appearance of someone’s eyes constantly. Don’t let that be the only thing that defines them. Here are a few tips though: many people who are legally blind have very ordinary-looking eyes. The cloudy white/blue eyes you often see is usually from diseases like cataracts, while paled eyes without visible pupils may be from congenital (childhood) glaucoma. Other forms of glaucoma cause black spots in the iris. Cataracts and glaucoma can coexist in one person. Eyes can have an inflamed red sclera from bacterial infection-induced blindness such as meningitis. Some infectious diseases require removal of the eyes (we see this in cats and other animals all the time). There are tons more reasons. When researching the cause of your character’s blindness, pay attention to the level of impairment, because not all causes of blindness have the same outcome!

5) People whose eyes have nerve damage don’t always move perfectly together. As tempting as it is to give your visually impaired character the ability to eerily stare directly into someone else’s gaze all the time, often people who lack nerve control in the eyes have issues of mobility now and again or even constantly: eyes that move independently, one or both eyes that won’t move at all, one pupil stuck in full dilation (anisocoria), and they may not be aware that their eyes are moving in odd places. Please don’t use this as fuel for humor, as some folk go out of their way to cover their eyes constantly because of this. Speaking of cover, not all visually impaired people wear sunglasses like the cliche in movies. Many will wear them in public because their eyes are very sensitive to light rays or because the light gives them horrible headaches, while others choose to cover their eyes because they’re aware that their eyes lack mobility control or they’re shy about a drooping lid/etc. Not everyone who has problems with vision wears something over their eyes.

How TV Cartoons Are Made - A (Mostly) Simplified Guide

When I was in school and wanted to work in animation, there was very little information about how cartoons are actually made. Even my professors at college knew very little about the industry as it is today. I’m sure it would’ve been better to study somewhere in California (like CalArts) to be better informed about this stuff, but I didn’t have that opportunity.

Nowadays, many kids in school have a dream career that they don’t really know much about. There’s a lot of missing bits of information and a lot of straight up lies that get circulated as fact as people try to scramble to put the pieces together on how cartoons for television are actually made.

I’ve been storyboarding for television for a while now, and there still aren’t clear resources for those wanting to get into the industry. I wanted to make the basics available to everyone, so here’s a quick rundown through the TV pipeline. Please note: all studios and productions are different. Even cartoons made within the same studio could have wildly different production guidelines. This is not a concrete explanation of how every cartoon is made; this is simply a generalized look at the “typical” television pipeline.

**DISCLAIMER** All images in this post have been sourced from blogs, twitters, scribd and flickr pages are publicly available, and no internal studio materials have been used that have not been already published publicly online. This post is influenced heavily by my own individual experience, as well as friends’.

With that said, this might be a lengthy read, so let’s go!
