Pro-Shipper. Mediocre artist. Even worse of a writter. If you follow me for one thing in specific, I'm sorry for you, but I'm in far too many fandoms to count.

The worst part about "Toph wouldn't let him get away with it" is that, even if we do accept the premise that Aang's breakdowns are indications of his manipulative and abusive nature, they would still be wrong. Because Toph completely let Aang take his anger out on her due to her guilt over losing Appa. It's almost like... being abused... isn't dependent on how tough and strong you are... but on how your abuser uses your feelings against you... But ok, since Toph is a strong independent woman, she would never ~let~ Aang abuse her. She's an emotionless rock characterized by Girlboss and Violence and Not Like Other Girls

(Obligatory disclaimer that Aang would NOT be an abusive pos. Free my boy from the zks 😭)

Not to mention, just look at how many YEARS Toph spent letting her parents force her into the role of defenseless porcelain doll, even though that couldn't be further from who she is as a person. Again, almost like the whole reason abuse happens is because the abuser (knowingly or not) takes advantage of the victim's affection for them.

Zutarians once again showing they don't understand these characters, or how abuse works. They just want to both demonize Aang, and also give him a girlfriend to get him "out of the way" - which ironically enough just shows that they KNOW that as long as Aang is an option, Katara is interested.

[nahellet]

Funny thing is.

Is the opposite.

Katara lashes out when feeling disrespected or betrayed, she actively does it constantly through the series and she is MEAN with it.

However because Toph acts more outwardly roudy and Katara acts more calm or reconciling, they think Katara is this always nice and self wallowing tortured princess and Toph is just the masculine female badass.

It is all so typical is downright laughable because it is not only cliche, it is cliche on the usual character tropes of "Baby First fictional literacy", when a character acts one way, and is the only way they can be seen as, baring into flanderization.

But hey, they call themselves the feminist ship

I'm very shy to asking help 🥹but ...

I am Suad, a 63-year-old mother of six from devastated Gaza. For more than 600 days, I have lived through every kind of hell 😭bombs falling everywhere, being forced out of my home, moving from one unsafe place to another, and struggling without food or even clean water, which has already made me sick.I have no shelter, no house, and no food. The army has ordered the full evacuation of my city in preparation for erasing it from the map. Now my family and I are desperately searching for a tent to sleep in 🙏, something to eat so we can stand on our feet, and medicine to survive.

😭 I pray that my message reaches a compassionate heart who can feel the pain of me and my children. I know I may sound bothersome, but I am dying every day—of hunger, of bombing, of running from bullets 💔.

Somebody finally has to say it, Ben has a bigger cock than Kevin.

Sorry not sorry. Won't apologize for stating the facts.

They don't call him Ben 10 for nothing lmao

I discovered “Avatar the last Airbender” very late, and finally watched it for the first time 2 months ago.

What a Fucking. Great. Show. Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko : Thank you for existing.

So I animated Aang and Katara, dance-bending (inspired from the episode “The Headband”)

Because they make a great team together.

[nahellet]

The first of many times

I have the headcanon that in the classic continuity, Ben 10k and Gwendolyn were together, they act like such a married couple is impossible they didn't got something going on, Max probably had to pry them off each other with an hydraulic wrench in their puberty before Ben put a child on his own cousin lol

i'd like to add that the shadow color isnt necessarily dictated entirely by the primary light source, but the bounce light! so for the example of a sunny environment, the reason the shadows are blue are because of the light from the blue sky reflects across the environment; but, if the character were to be under tree cover, the bounce light would be coming from the leaves and thus the shadow would look greener.

[danidarkarts]

Yee yee!!! You got it right on the nose!

Bounce light is something I didn't cover but I adore it!

Gotta work on my bounce light 💪

James Gurney is an absolute master and gives really good clarity on colour techniques. Yes, it is traditional paint focused, but the principles are the same. Yes it is informed by the environmental colour but as a painting technique it is achieved this way!

I would also suggest that in digital processing, rather than apply a regular colour layer at a mid opacity, try out the different types of layers, Eg. Screen or Multiply. This can give you at least a starting point to help direct your colour palette.

[technecat-scratchings]

Layer Blend Modes are so so so important to working in digital art. There's a ton of math that goes into figuring out how the layers should blend together, which is why some of the modes you can pick are literally called Multiply, Add, Divide, and Difference (that's subtraction). The graphics software takes the color values of your base and blend layers and runs a calculation to get your resulting layer appearance. The ones that don't have specifically mathematical sounding names are still doing calculations, but they're more complicated (think linear Algebra and higher). Some of them, like dodge and burn, are named for actual photo editing techniques.

While it's not super important to know about the mathematical side of blend modes, I think it's worth knowing at least enough about how each of the categories of blend modes works and why they do what they do; if for no other reason than having a starting point when you start experimenting with them in your work.

Today was unlike any other.

We received a few donations and with them, we had our first real meal in over a month. For the first time in so long, we didn’t go to sleep hungry. We cried, not from pain this time, but from overwhelming joy and gratitude.

To everyone who donated, shared, or simply kept us in their thoughts thank you. You didn’t just feed us. You reminded us that we’re not alone. You gave us back a piece of our dignity and hope.

But the struggle isn’t over. We’re still in need of food, support, and a little more light in these hard times.

Please, if you can, continue to help. Every share, every dollar, every act of kindness makes a real difference.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. And please, stay with us on this journey.

a thought i had when revisiting the orion arc in tfp

somehow tf1's orion ended up there in place of tfp orion don't ask me how

[nahellet]

Megatron being completely weirded out at Optimus/Orion just being kinda of a chill guy with good in him.

"Wait, so you became a general of all this people? Man, I'm so impressed, congrats!"

"I uh... Your praises are... Ejem... Appreciated old friend"

"You really talk like an old guy now huh"

[nahellet]

Btw, funny enough, before being called Megatronus, TFP Megatron was ALSO called D-16

if you're worried about the new ToS for AO3, please remember that you are primed to distrust because of the way politics are intertwining with the internet right now. remember to look into definitions yourself, fact check, and look through the logic lense before jumping to conclusions.

AFAIK right now, the update clarifies terms that have already existed. it's not changing as much as it is clarity-rewriting. i'm still looking through the legalese (law student, i'm learning as I go) and I will be checking in again later, but don't despair.

however, don't get lax. download fics, connect with the authors, build out your communities. comment and bookmark and save, and please don't stop writing.

[sunseths]

UPDATE:

the privacy policy update Ao3 asks you to agree to is vague, but already required. in the same way your IP address is required when submitting content, personal information is provided when a complaint is submitted about you--to email you. and address the complaint.

in the same way that any investigation from a department of law requires a business to provide information, Ao3 is asking you to agree that, in the occurrence of a legal investigation, your personal information (IP address included) will be given if legally required.

NOW, this means:

An investigation has to occur (uncommon);

The investigation involves you, due to a complaint or a suspicion of criminal involvement (situational);

The investigation specifically requires your personal information to be resolved (very rare);

Ao3 deems your information necessary, and divulges it in accordance with law (a clear layer of common sense between you and reckless investigation)

so. what can you do to avoid this occuring?

Don't do crime;

Don't harrass people;

Don't put your real name/age/address/SSN online;

Clearly warn your works in tags and notes;

and follow the general rules of online safety

there. we're not over project 2025, we're not over the safety of ao3 being threatened via law, but your personal information will not be divulged without Very Clear Proceeding Steps visible to literally everyone around you that scream "WE'RE LOOKING AT INDIVIDUALS". the government simply does not have time to target every single person online. this is something every online service has to provide--in the case of a personal investigation.

so don't become the subject of a personal investigation, and you should be fine.

[nell0-0]

Out of all the explanations I've been reading today for this, this is the one I've found the easiest to understand and most helpful, so I'm reblogging in case this helps anyone else. I was worried about the update because the last time I read the TOS was when I created my account years ago and don't remember much lmao.

But yeah, don't be complacent in case the current situation changes but it should be fine for now. Probably. Check for yourselves and read the TOS in case you're still doubting is the best advice I think I can give here.

[jayalaw]

Common sense is the most important one. Treat the Internet like a shopping mall with security cameras.

[zvtara-was-never-canon]

Did you ever watch the Netflix avatar live action? Do you think it was a good adaptation?

It's a live-action show made by Netflix (red flag number one) that explicitly wanted to pander to Game Of Thrones fans (red flag number two) and appease annoying people on Twitter that call everything problematic which ruined characters like Katara (red flag number three).

It also had a much shorter number of episodes with a much longer runtime that anyone with half a brain could see would completely fuck up the pace (red flag number four), and Netflix made it worse by not having Aang learn waterbending in Book One: Water (red flag number five) and by adding characters that were not supposed to be there yet like Ozai and Azula (red flag number six).

The people in charge pretty much admited to being insecure about it being "only for kids" (red flag number seven) and decided to open the show with the completely unnecessary on-screen genocide of the air-nomads for pure shock vallue (red flag number eight) and the stuff they wanted to do was so absurd that Bryke bailed on them and made it clear they wanted no credit for anything in the damn show (red flag number nine).

The rule is "Three strikes and you're out." This shit had nine. It should never have been made in the first place, it sure as fuck shouldn't have gotten a second season, I don't understand why the fandom is still in denial about it TOTALLY not being as bad as the Shyamalan movie, I hope it crashes and burns and that whatever Netflix execs thought this was a brillian idea get bent.

Also Netflix as whole just isn't worth the money anymore, so remember, kids:

[apersnicketylemon]

Abusive parents can say “I love you”

Abusive parents can give their kids an allowance, gifts, toys and nice things sometimes.

Abusive parents can seem like parent of the year to outsiders.

Abusive parents can defend their children from outside threats and get them in all the best schools and programs and deal with school bullies.

Abusive parents are still abusive, regardless of the things they get right or the nice things they sometimes do.

[creativeandcoolusername-deactiv]

whoever wrote this evidently had an idyllic, sheltered, childhood…

[apersnicketylemon]

The person who wrote this had dishes thrown at them by the same person who said ‘I love you’ and tucked them into bed sometimes.

The person who wrote this would be severely punished and hit for being home even one minute late by the same person who threatened to call the cops on the two girls who bullied them relentlessly.

The person who wrote this was told over an over again by everyone that their mother was ‘incredible’ and ‘awesome’ by every one of their friends growing up despite being denied food to eat.

The person who wrote this got presents on their birthday and on holidays and had an allowance and was threatened with have everything they owned destroyed or have their pets killed on a regular basis by a parent.

The person who wrote this was called ‘stupid’, ‘retarded’, and ‘a useless idiot’ every time they couldn’t understand something by the same person who said they were ‘very smart’ and ‘had potential’.

The person who wrote this did not have an idyllic, sheltered childhood and spent years questioning if having dishes thrown at their head was actually abusive because that same person said ‘I love you’.

The person who wrote this is pretty pissed off that you would tell an abuse survivor that they had an idyllic childhood and assume there was no abuse just because the abuser was really good at making them question whether they were really abused or not, or that somehow saying ‘I love you’ made the abuse go away.

The person who wrote this literally has a personality disorder as a direct result of their parent who sometimes said I love you and got their bully’s in middle school dealt with abusing them.

But you’re right. How dare I point out that this is something ACTUAL abusers have ACTUALLY done.
