rp resources from an irl bridge troll. may or may not cost your first born (jk my stuff is free but if you ever wanted to buy me a coffee that would be amazing) header by spidaerman ✨
with spooky season approaching i would like to once again gently remind the rpc that
w*ndigo and sk*nwalkers are not generic cryptids and creatures and should not be treated as such! they are intrinsic to specific indigenous lore and should be treated with respect.
goblins and ghouls can quickly fall into antisemitic tropes so tread carefully and do your research!
a lot of stereotypical witch imagery can also fall into antisemetic tropes so once again tread carefully and do your research, ESPECIALLY if your witch character is meant to be jewish.
No one’s saying this so I guess I’ve gotta: no more shirtless scenes for men if the actors gotta starve himself. Its just as bad as woman being forced to lose weight for a needless sex scene/photoshoot what have you. If it endangers the health of the individual it should not be encouraged.
in this unsplash collection, you’ll find those good good paper textures you know and love that are suitable for graphic design and are free for both personal and commercial use! please like or reblog this post if you find this helpful
In the colorism section, when describing the preference and or obsession with Eurocentric features over ethnic features, that's called featurism. Which is a specific kind of discrimination against ethnic features and the uplifting of features that are closer to white over ones that are more ethnic. Just thought I'd made that distinction because colorism is something different, and while light skinned people can face featurism, they can't face colorism.
its pride month AND indigenous history month so if ur thinking about buying lgbt books (or books in general) consider buying from red planet books and comics, which is a comic store (the only comic store actually) owned by a team of native ppl. you can get queer indigenous studies, jonny appleseed, indigiqueer fiction anthology, and a collection of two spirit literature. you can also order alison bechdel, molly ostertag, marvel or dc comics, star wars novels, margaret atwood and a ton of other things! if there’s a graphic novel or book you’ve been eyeing, it’d be cool if you gave them a browse to see if they have it :)

the beyond. download in the source, the currently in-style aesthetic icons, but make them accessible. not much to say, the actual icons are 100px x 100px, the borders make them bigger, and they’re 540px wide for best look on the dash. they come in one icon and two icons varieties.
main star. download in the source, a very simple header template with a cute little typography effect. it should be intuitive to use, and the font used is arial which comes by default with your computer.
i’m an absolute sucker for watercolor and learning how to do this has been something of a game-changer for me. so now i am doing my best to show you! this tutorial is very image-based and kinda rambly but if you have any questions feel free to ask! if you find this helpful please consider buying me a coffee 💖
disclaimer: this only seems to work well with larger images. the image i use in this example is about 3500x2500 px and downloaded off of unsplash! you could probably fiddle around with the settings to make it work for smaller images, but idk yet. I also don’t know how well this works with faces.
anyway, tutorial time
the very first thing you want to do is turn your picture into a smart object!
this will give you smart filters which are non-destructive and allow you to swap your image out if you want!
the second step is applying a median filter as shown here!
i’ve found that the best number for radius is somewhere between 8-15. lower for more detail and higher for more abstract looking things. play with it and see what works best for your image!
next you’re going to want to add a find edges filter!
once that is applied your image should look something like this!
you’re going to change the blending mode of this filter by clicking here
and then you’re going to set it to linear burn
next, you’re going to go up into the filter gallery and select the stamp filter
these are the settings i have found to be ideal!
once again you’re going to change the blending mode, this time to screen. this will give an illusion of paper poking through the colors and give it some good imperfect spiciness ✨
now you’re going to go back to the filter gallery and this time you’re going to be selecting the watercolor filter!
once again thes4e are the settings for that which i have found work best
add a new effect layer here
and select pallet knife
use these settings
okay! the hardest parts are all over! thank you for sticking with it this long. now you can add a nice paper texture if you’d like! this is a good one
slap that bad boy on the top layer and set it to multiply and you’re good to go!
thank you for reading and good luck with your watercolor editing adventures!
