I AM ABSOLUTELY LOSING MY MIND AFTER READING THIS PLEASE READ IT
READ PART TWO AND THREE BELOW !!!!!
This is a whole season of tv here
if this isn’t vicar of Dibley I’ll eat someone’s hat
What even is this? This is a whole novel and then some!
wat. Wat is this persons life.
Damn this hit me hard , I needed this talk as a little girl. s/o to her mom for destroying the self hate in such a great way
This shit almost made me cry lol
Love this
You know I always think about how I’m gonna address this problem with my kids especially my daughters. I know if someone sat me down and told me things like that at that age it would had spared me so much trouble. The way she handled it was perfect especially because its not the easiest talk to have. I love this ❤
Crying cuz it’s unbelievable we have to tell our kids this and at such a young age they are perceptive of anti-Blackness
I’ve reblogged this before and I will probably continue to reblog it every time I see it. This woman is such a good mommy. Not only did she explain to her daughter in clear and digestible way why she was beautiful and worthy but she smashed down the tantrum without talking over her daughter. She gave her the opportunity to speak in a way that made her feel respected and responded in kind. Her daughter left this conversation with her self esteem intact and a whole new take on how she feels about her skin. Good job, mommy.

windows users, save money using these free apps!!
other fab programs that are absolutely 100% free:
recuva - accidentally deleted something in the recycling bin? recover it back with this program!
speccy - tells you the specs of your computer, among other things
defraggler - defrag the SHIT out of your hard drive and clean it right up
This is a great post what makes it even better is that most of these you can get from Ninite which will download and install the latest versions of all available software ALL AT ONCE without you having to worry about adware or the annoying clutter (toolbars, changing your default search engine) that sometimes comes with their individual installers. So, yeah. Have at it folks.
For posterity.
Good lord this is awesome.
I’ll add one more to this: Winderstat If you’re like me and constantly running low on space because you are never deleting old files and have no clue what is taking up all of your space then this is for you. It scans your hard drive and shows you which files are taking up space, what kind of file they are, and where they are located so you can easily take care of them.
Example (not mine):
It’s a life saver!
As someone who’s well acquainted with open source applications, I’m surprised Abiword isn’t on this list.
And for reading ebooks and even comic books, there’s always Calibre. It sadly isn’t on mobile, however.
Another image editor is Krita.
Here’s a free video editor, as well; I’ve never done any video editing so I can speak on if it’s any good, but here it is regardless. It’s called Kdenlive and it’s a project of the same people who made the above Krita.
And obviously there’s always the option of ditching Windows altogether and using Linux :^)
Krita is awesome!
@bsqtkid asked me how I make my patches so I decided to make a little tutorial.
There are many different ways to make patches but this is how i make them.
TEMPLATE
Step 1: Print off an image or logo that you want as your patch design. Once that’s printed glue it onto your piece of card. If you have a printer that can print on card I recommend doing that. My card is black so I do not have that option.
Step 2: Once you have your image on your card take a craft knife and carefully cut out your design. You have to be careful when using the knife as you want a smooth template for the paint to fill.
Step 3: Once you have cut out your design turn the card over and place double-sided sellotape around the edges, making sure you get the small flimsy pieces. This is so your template is stuck down and so that paint doesn’t bleed into places it shouldn’t, leaving you with a you get a clean image.
PAINTING
Step 4: Stick your template onto your fabric of choice and make sure everything is stick down properly. If you are using black fabric I recommend doing a base coat of black paint. This is because if you use a colour such as red, it will just be absorbed into the fabric so you need a barrier. Paint over the template, making sure you are getting paint in the right places.
Step 5: When the black base coat is dry, do 2-3 coats of the colour you want. Usually if you are doing red on black you may need extra coats as the colour is quite dark against the black fabric.
Step 6: When the paint is dry and you are happy with the brightness of the colour, carefully peel the template off. Sometimes the edges of paint stick to the template and pick the paint off slightly. This can always be tidied up with a black marker or paint so that the lines look neater.
I hope this helps anyone who wants to make patches at home :)

UM HELLO!?!?!?
Do you perhaps know where V's poems are from? I've read nearly the entirety of the Book of Urizen but I couldn't find any that he has said in the game. Are they from Songs of Innocence?
Hello!
Yes, I do :D
Okay, so first of all, V quotes quite a few of the “Proverbs of hell” taken from the book “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell“:
“He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence.”
“The hours of folly are measur’d by the clock, but of wisdom: no clock can measure.”
“One thought, fills immensity.“
“As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.”
“The cut worm forgives the plow.”
“If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.”
Then he also quotes:
From the “Auguries of Innocence”
“To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour”
The poem “The angel that presided ‘oer my birth”:
“The angel that presided oer my birth Said little creature formd of joy & mirth Go love without the help of any king on earth”
From the poetical sketch “When early morn walks forth in sober grey”:
“I curse my stars in bitter grief and woe,That made my love so high and me so low.”
The poem “Infant Joy”:
“I have no name,I am but two days old”
From the poem “A Dream”:
“Little wanderer, hie thee home!”
From the poem “A Poison Tree” (this is the line we see when the game starts, so V is not directly quoting that one):
“And it grew both day and night. Till it bore an apple bright.”
The last three poems are taken from Blake’s “Songs of Innocence and Experience”^^
So you see that V quotes a variety of Blake’s poems 🖤
Also, I hope I haven’t forgotten anything because these are the only ones I could think of off the top of my head 🖤
How to do “extra” facial expressions!
Drawing basic facial expressions is not the hardest. Most people can draw a sad face, a happy face, angry etc., but making more multidimensional expressions is more of a challenge. I have gotten a lot of compliments on how I draw facial expressions, (specifically “angsty ones”) telling me that they are very dramatic and well… expressive! And there are actually only a few things I think about when I draw faces that take them to the next level, so I thought i’d illustrate them all here!
SUPER IMPORTANT TIP BEFORE WE START: Look at your own face when you draw faces. Even making the face when you are drawing (you don’t even have to look at it), will give you some sense of how the face muscles pull and where things fold and stretch, because you can feel it. You are the best reference when it comes to facial expressions!
Angles
Draw the head in an angle that matches the expressions you want to make. It is not a requirement, but is going to add to the effect.
Symmetry vs asymmetry
A face is rarely symmetric. Unless the face the character is making is 100 % relaxed or even dissociating, the eyebrows, mouth and facial muscles will have different placements of their respective side. This image shows the dramatic impact asymmetry has on a face:
That’s the difference between a smile and a smirk!
The first one’s like “oh yeah?” and the second is like “oH YEAH??”
The “balloon squishing principle”
This is something I did subconsciously, and I didn’t know about until I made this tutorial. And this principle goes hand in hand with an asymmetric face. Basically, if you squish one part of the face, you need to even out the empty space by “inflating” the other part of the face so that it doesn’t appear shrunken. The picture hopefully explains it:
Teeth
Don’t forget to add the gum when the mouth is open to its full potential!
Squinting and folding
Adding folds around the eyes when a character is squinting makes a HUGE difference. It makes a smile more genuine and a growl more intimidating. Adding folds to the face in general makes your characters more lifelike and ‘visually relatable’. Like, they look human, and less plastic or fake.
and so on..
Pupils and irises
The placement of the iris and pupil in relation to the eyelids is very important! The less of the white you see, the more relaxed the character is.
And then of course eyebrows and eyes go hand in hand!
Gestures, spitting, sweating…
Adding more elements than just a face is key to making the character actually look like they are feeling what you want them to feel. Just the tiniest sweat drop adds to their anxiety, spitting adds frustration to their rage, slouching shoulders, waving hands, a double chin, extreme angles, the list goes on! Add whatever and see what kind of impact it makes! Does it do the trick? Great! Add it!
Over exaggeration!!
Remember that you can almost always exaggerate more. Don’t be afraid to do draw “too much” because you’re just experimenting. See what works and what doesn’t. What do you like to exaggerate?
Now that you know some theory, it’s time to practice!
Practicing!!
The 25 Essential Expressions (a classic! I’ve done it multiple times)
And the one I do when I’m bored:
Fill a page with circles and fill them in with different expressions. Try and exaggerate as much as you can!
This is mostly for experimenting. They are quicker to draw than complete faces, but the same rules should apply!
And that’s about it!
I don’t know if I covered everything in this tutorial, since some things might be obvious for me, and this post perhaps only scratches the surface. So feel free to send me a message if you want an explanation about something more in depth! Thank you for reading! And now DRAW!!! ✨🎨

Nero’s / Dante’s / Vergil’s ‘dummy thicc’ lines
I’ve yet to find everyone’s ‘dummy thicc’ lines all in one place, so here’s all three. I took the liberty of splicing Nero’s and Dante’s over some inappropriate cutscene moments instead of using a still image. Sources after the cut.
Edit: This was a rushed thing done in about ~15 minutes. If I can I’ll find some cutscenes that synch up more I may change them out…or something.
Keep reading
I’ve always wanted to make one of these. Here’s my first expression meme!
Feel free to use this! If you’re using it on tumblr please reblog and do NOT repost it. Feel free to repost it to any other social media platform however, if you’re using it; but give me CREDIT (if you for some reason crop out my Tumblr in the corner).
Summer swimming tip for trans guys and Non binary folks!
I almost didnt go swimming or to the beach all summer because of how anxious and uncomfortable just thinking about being in a wet t shirt and sports bra would make me.
But this company saved me. They’re called Outplay and seem to be mainly advertised towards females but not to the point where navigating the website is unbearable. The flatsea compression shirt is the most comfortable binder I’ve ever worn. Its thicker than a bathing suit but doesnt make you overheat and you dont stay wet longer than normal after getting out of the water either.
I got a size small and with high compression and couldnt be more happy with the results. Its comfortable enough to wear all day at the beach and is more comfortable to wear as a regular binder. My weight has also fluctuated while I’ve owned this binder and when my stomach was bigger the material didnt roll at all. It will run you about $65 (shipping included)for a great transitional binder and it seemed worth it to me.
There is also another company called Heroine Binders that have a complete swimming line that’s AWESOME
They are in fact having a giveaway now that you can check out here
I hope it’s okay for cis people to reblog this in support. I just want to spread this for those who need it.
@accidentally-logince !!!!!!! SWIM BINDERS!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!
There’s binders to keep me from feeling like crap while doing something I avoid a lot because it involves wearing something that shows off my body and makes my dysphoria real bad?!
It is ABSOLUTELY ok for cis people to reblog this for their trans/nonbinary friends!!
@elowish 😊
Since there is a mod that make my job on this case 1000x easier, bonus that I un_censored my blog successfully, guess I should come back here to post sometime. As much as I adore him and this set is 95% complete, it would be hold off till after 26/03. Whatever it take, Ardyn set would go first, sorry ^^;

Hace unos dias vi una serie de gifs de Marie Kondo explicando que a la hora de ordenar nuestra ropa debemos elegir la que nos produce felicidad, y para no sentirnos mal por la ropa que queremos botar, agradecer el tiempo que estuvo esa prenda estuvo con nosotros y dejarla ir..
Esto me llamo la atención y luego en Netflix descubri que habia una serie de ella, donde va a casas de personas y las ayuda a organizar. Me gusto su método y quise compartir algunos de sus consejos con ustedes. Quien sabe. Siempre se aprende algo 😉
Hey thats handy af^^^^
