A mech manga spoof:

“‘S-type Wartime ARthropodal Mechs,’ or ‘SWARM’ units are giant mechs that are operated exclusively by women. Amana is the outstanding pilot of the “Black Widow” Latrodectus SWARM, and is sent on a reconnaissance mission at the border of the country. However, when an unexpected mutant giant threatens the safety of a nearby town on a mission, she finds herself in a battle against both the creature and her own past.”

More below cut

Amana joined the SWARM program as a a young child, when she was adopted by the former pilot of her model. She was rescued from an attack on her

The engineer shown in the comic is Dr. Lorenza Molina. She helped design aspects of the Latrodectus and acts as Amana’s “guy in the chair” -- but she stands because that’s better for circulation

The mutated beasts are reportedly a result of the high amounts of nuclear radiation used to power civilization

SWARM units are used not only against mutants, but also similar robots developed in rival nations

Other SWARM models include the Caelifera, Coccinellidae, and Apocrita

There are lower-level mechs ranging from A to E classes. These units vary in their weapon capabilities, and often serve other purposes such as transportation, industry, etc...

A romance comic spoof:

“Cherry Kamera is just your average teenage girl who loves scrapbooking and helping others. After being gifted a mysterious polaroid camera, she discovers its ability to make people fall in love when they are photographed together! Are the powers of cupid safe in the hands of a hormonal adolescent girl?”

More background under the cut

Cherry’s mother is from America and her father is from Japan. She is a very caring person, so much so that sometimes she can’t help but meddle in other people’s business. Growing up watching exclusively magical girl shows (and sometimes Yugio), she believes that all problems can and will be solved through the power of believing in yourself and nauseating persistence. This is why she might be the worst person to receive a camera with mystical properties that force people to fall in love.

Mr. Varsity Jacket goes by Toshio Sada. He’s has a sparkling personality and loves to make people laugh. His arrogance can sometimes get on the nerves of his friends a̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ occasionally.

Blue boy’s name is Haru Tsujiai. He’s the guy who’s cool on the outside and a nervous trainwreck on the inside. He part times at a coffee shop.

Despite being polar opposites, Toshio and Haru have been friends since childhood. Now, their goal is to prevent (or minimize) the damage caused by Cherry and her camera-shenanigans.

Those affected by the camera’s ability will continue to do so indefinitely until the original photograph of them is destroyed.

Yes her last name is literally just “camera” with a “k.” You can’t really expect much more from me...

“Brown eyes are so plain and ugly you can’t even compare them to gems like emerald and saph-”

Stop.

Carnelian

Cairngorm

Cassiterite

Smoky Quartz

Zircon (brown)

Citrine

Diaspore

Dravite

Enstatite

Hessonite

That’s not even all of GORGEOUS BROWN GEMS THAT EXIST IN THIS WORLD. Just like there are a lot of beautiful brown gems they’re a lot of BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES. BROWN IS A GORGEOUS COLOR. Start treating it like one. 

[knittedeevee]

I am so glad someone did this.

[evilyaoii]

if you don’t want someone to have brown eyes because you can’t compare them to a gem then you’re a bad writer

[mrcloudyfun]

As a brown-eyed person, I appreciate this for a lot of reasons

[dangerbooze]

[ariespageofbreath]

Okay I’m sorry I love these a lot and I love people with brown eyes but if I have to read the words “she stared into his cairngorm orbs” i will Cease to Exist

“Eyes like dravites” has a nice ring to it.

[by-dying-i-live-deactivated2018]

Ok, but I still dislike my brown eyes. Dravite looks rad, but I don’t have eyes that color. Brown is boring. The color of poop. Fight me

[mothric]

BROWN IS A BEAUTIFUL COLOUR ALL EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I AM R E A D Y TO FIGHT ANYONE WHO DISAGREES

[mothric]

you KNOW WHAT I can’t leave my tag rant in the tags, so listen up you fools:

#ALL 👏 SHADES 👏 OF 👏 BROWN 👏 EYES 👏 ARE 👏 LOVELY 👏👏👏 !!!  #saying ‘brown is the colour of poop’ is like saying   #‘green is the colour of puss’  #or ‘blue is the colour of a bruise’  #you can make any colour sound gross if you’re that determined but eyes are beautiful and react with light in interesting ways  #you know what else is brown? TREES. AND TREES ARE AWESOME  #dark brown eyes? deep. thoughtful. stoic. like an ancient oak.   #they have gravity  #light brown? delightful!! like autumn leaves!!   #somewhere in the middle?  #you could be redwood! spruce! MAHOGANY!!!  #you could also compare brown to any number of elegant edible things like chocolate or honey or coffee or earl grey tea  #(although those have all been overdone)   #anyway I am rambling but LISTEN  #I NEED ALL MY BROWN-EYED HOMIES FRIENDS MUTUALS AND FOLLOWERS TO KNOW THIS !!!!  #ALSO I have hazel eyes so YOU CAN’T EVEN accuse me of being biased

[mannahtea]

I actually prefer brown eyes! They’re warm, soft, some might even say mysterious (ohohoho). This is just my personal opinion, but the way you can just see the pupil in a lot of blue/green eyes is mildly unsettling. The point is, someone out there will love the color of your eyes, so don’t go putting yourself down!!!

Let's talk about mynoise.net

Have you ever been listening to Rainymood and thought, “Yeah, this is good … but it would be nice if I could customize the sound more, or if there was a little more choice.

Let me introduce you to MyNoise.

MyNoise is a customizable sounscape looper with so many options, even within each soundscape.  So say, for instance, you really love rain sounds when you write or study or relax.  Anything.  I know I’m a big fan of rain sounds.  They have a page for that.

But say you like really high, pattery rain, and LOTS of low thunder.  Here’s where MyNoise really stands out: you can customize that.  See those sliders with all the cute colors?  That is your equalizer. You can adjust the levels based on what you want to hear more and less of.  Here’s how it looks when you want high, pattery rain and low, rumbly thunder:

But say rain isn’t really your jam.  Say you want something a little more ambient, a little more background noise-y.  Something with people.  Well, they have customizable coffee house chatter that even has the levels listed for things like “kitchen,” “babble,” and “table”:

Or say you miss the ocean.

Or say you miss your cat.

Or say you miss your spaceship.

Or say you miss the dungeon where you and your team of scalawag adventurers used to explore and face off against, say, dragons.  In the dungeon.

This site is seriously so helpful, and those are just a fraction of every kind of sounscape the site has to offer.  The best part is that if you want to layer it with music (for instance, I’ll layer a playlist + rain + coffee shop if the scene I’m writing takes place in a coffee shop), you can adjust the master volume, meaning all of your layers stay at their respective volumes, just louder or quieter.

Enjoy!

Youre telling me I threw away 10 dollar markers FOR NOTHING

[imthesaltydad]

Plus copics are actually refillable and you can buy more colored ink online for pretty cheap! So yeah dont throw out copics.

[taigas-den]

Omg that hurts me that people threw away such expensive markers. Omg. I have like $400 worth of those things

[angelofstormandsea]

The fact that they’re refillable is something I really want to stress, here!

Copics are very pricey upfront, but a refill costs around the same price as the marker. That single refill can fill your marker up like, 10 times. 

So lets say you pay $5 per marker. If you toss them and replace them, there goes $55 per color.

If you were to just refill them, you’re out of pocket like, $10 by comparison. 

The nibs are also replaceable!

My favorite place to get ink refills is Imagination International. They have every color of Copic available and each size including a bunch of accessories. A bottle of ink has about five refills (at least) goes for $9. So you could spend $35 on five different markers or $14 for one and bottle of ink. BONUS: They also sell IC screentone! Their variety is huge, the sheets are large (10x14 at least), and the prices are fair! I’ve really been enjoying IC’s stuff. HERE’S A LINK TO THEIR WEBSITE QUICK LINK TO THEIR COPIC STORE QUICK LINK TO THEIR IC STORE (home of many traditional manga supplies) Shipping is fair and fast, and their website also serves as a remarkable resource for artists who need tips or just want to print out some coloring pages. Side note: They’re based in Eugene, OR, too, which is home to my alma mater and makes me love them even more! (Go Ducks!)

a super quick tutorial on how I make wooden board textures. (sorry for the handwriting)

I like making the textures myself, so I can mess with them and embed them easily

here are some examples:
