the power of a bowl of rice mixed with some fucking bullshit cannot be overstated

[bebsi-cola]

the countermeasure to dehumanisation is not sexualisation. the countermeasure is to treat the other person with respect and dignity actually.

[bebsi-cola]

i don't care if you wanna fuck fat people or hairy people or trans people or the elderly or disabled people or whatever. can you treat them like human beings

I hope this joke outlives the context that made it, leaving future generations baffled.

every time a website describes "appetite suppressant" as a feature of a type of food, i kill another hostage

[xenosaurus]

"nuts are an appetite suppressant!" BECAUSE THEY ARE FOOD. YOU ARE LESS HUNGRY BECAUSE YOU ATE FOOD.

[xenosaurus]

the diet industry is so unbelievably fucked and it’s in your fucking walls. “keeps you full longer so you don’t get hungry an hour after lunch when you’re trying to do something” is a neutral statement of benefit but no we have to treat pistachios like crucial medicine in the war against basic bodily functions.

eating disorder recovery is just getting angry over and over again because food is treated like some horrible necessary evil instead of one of the great joys of life. eat some nuts because they taste good and you are a living thing that thrives on pleasure and calories. you need both.

I need to get some sleep but in case you need to hear it: you deserve to eat. your appetite is not the enemy. if you can, treat yourself to a filling meal of foods you love today. throw pistachio shells at people. be free.

[xenosaurus]

DISCLAIMER: if you or your selected victim have a nut allergy, consider throwing rocks instead. I love you.

[grindthebones]

Guilt-free is the most evil thing I have ever seen printed on a food label.

[xenosaurus]

oh god yeah I HATE that. that should refer to things like fair trade chocolate, not “low fat”

"I asked ChatGPT—"

Well I asked GDT (Guillermo del Toro) and he said some of the most casually unhinged shit I've ever heard. it was beautiful and it fixed me.

Asked other self-taught artists how they do it, got vague answers. If you actually answer this, thanks for your time.

How do you structure a program for your own self improvement as a **Sonic Comic Artist**? Yes, gesture drawings and shapes and learning values. 1st semester basics, practice them, yup. What resources do you vouch for to learn panel layout so I don't wade in the overwhelming deluge of free tutorials? How do you practice anatomy for hedgehogs when you have drilled human proportions for a decade? Specific resources would be so appreciated I would fling myself at your feet. Or you know, whatever doesn't violate your boundaries I don't know how you are about feet. Your comic inspired me, at 36, to stop fucking around with my hobby by the way. Thanks.

Study and try to reverse engineer the art of the Sonic artists you enjoy most. There is no step-by-step guide that won't lead you into stiff poses and expressions. You have to simply get a feel for how you personally enjoy drawing these characters.

Read Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud. Read Making Comics by Scott McCloud. Read these books. They are THE books that contain the fundamentals of comics. Understanding Comics, specifically, was THE required reading in my major (cartooning/comics) at my art school (The School of Visual Arts).

I didn't go into things wanting to be a Sonic comic artist specifically. I barreled forward with a love of all comics, and worked hard to learn how to make all comics. If you want to be good at Sonic comics, get good at comics in general. Work up the skills to create stories with sequential art. Learn how to draw stuff that isn't Sonic, because if you're drawing Sonic comics, you are also going to be drawing so, so, so many things that aren't Sonic. Robots, trees, cars, buildings, trains. Learn all of it. Everything you can.

If you love comics, really really love comics, that love will shine through no matter what you make. Understand the medium. That will help you the most.

That artist is the founder of Cara by the way (https://cara.app/zemotion/all).

Cara is the only art platform I have found that not only prohibits AI art from being uploaded on the site, but also offers their users to Glaze their art (which protects them from ai mimicry). They are also working on implementing Nightshade, which actively poisons ai training.

I have used Cara for a couple of months now, and I hope more people check it out. It's really nice. 💚

We need these kinds of places for artists, and it's also FREE (despite the staff paying out of their own pockets to keep it running).

[caitlin-elias]

reblogging this as I was just complaining about the rampant AI usage on pinterest yesterday lol

[ettawritesnstudies]

Even if you're not an artist, I highly recommend signing up just to lurk because it's been such a lovely wholesome experience free of the noise and brainrot that comes with the ads and reels on instagram. As a writer I think it has a niche for connecting authors with cover designers and illustrators. I'm documenting my experience in this thread if anyone wants to follow along!
