Simon "the butcher", who is horrified when he finds out he sentenced a man to death by pressing the camera button.

Simon "the butcher" who keeps apologizing for not knowing better, for causing harm to the people in the room, for being rightfully angry and lashing out, turning every knob and lever and pressing that damn button because why would it work when he doesn't have any power and why didn't they just Tell Him??

Simon "the butcher" who gets teary and has the look of a hurt child on his face when ava mentions filament station and his voice trembles when he is quick to say "that wasn't supposed to happen"...

Simon "the butcher" who apologizes to the sm-13, an inanimate object, after hitting the console.

Just... Simon being so unbeliebably human throughout the whole movie, it makes my heart ache for him

Why don’t we let the guy whose every plan could be reasonably construed as an abstract suicide attempt take a crack at it

That's Not What Unc Means

You’d never know the meaning of unc or its origins in black culture if you looked to mainstream media.

Really good write-up on the origin of "Unc" as a term used in AAVE, and how it's been turned into a generic disparaging term when it didn't even have negative connotations to begin with.

It kind of fucks with me that somebody killed ötzi the iceman because ötzi himself is like whatever but the silent presence of human hands that drew back the string of the bow that shot the arrow that killed him is crazy. the idea that there were various people involved in that situation and while one of them has had his last hours painstakingly reconstructed and studied to no end, the others now only exist insofar that an arrowhead had to get into his shoulder somehow. imagine killing someone and then suddenly your entire existence is only a vague shadow implied by the fact that you killed them. much to consider

[werewolfetone]

Testing the mummified bone marrow of ötzi to figure out his ancestry whole time there’s definitely another person, maybe more than one, standing in the room with us but I can never see or speak to them because I only know them through the assurance that they were there too in the form of one single arrowhead. I hate prehistory so much it’s unreal

I hate it too tbh

what people don’t understand about how adhd is disabling is that it’s not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. it’s getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. it’s not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. it’s about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.

anyone surprised that markiplier knows about the bloodymary ship doesn't remember this is a man who has seen himself ass blasted by springtrap you must assume that whatever the most obscure, insane content you've involved him in he not only knows about it but already knows more than you'll ever fathom. it's too late. he knew before you even knew you knew he knew you knew

characters who get the "i can fix him" urge not because theyre a saint who loves everyone inherently but because they think "if i can prove there's good in everyone, maybe i can start feeling like i'm worthy or being seen as good too."

Hey! I was wondering, how do you draw the tattoos? I've been trying lately in an OC and i feel like something isnt right hahahah But yours seems very natural looking

I don't know if the way I draw tattoos is the most natural looking or the best way but I can show you how I do it!

The thing that will make the tattoos blend with the character in a more realistic way is the color. Tattoo ink fades and changes color a little once your tattoo is healed, and I've noticed that using a saturated color instead of pure black helps to achieve that effect. Of course, your color choices will vary a little depending on the skin tone of your character (use a darker reddish color for a character with darker skin tone, a lighter one if the character is very pale, etc), but the multiply mode will help make the tattoo design stand out regardless. You can play around with opacity levels too. Here's a side by side comparison of how the tats look if you use a brown/reddish color vs an achromatic black/gray.

It's a matter of taste, really. I don't think the 2nd image looks worse, but I like the look of the first one better because it blends with the skin tone a little. If your art style is more graphic/bold than mine, you may want to stick with bolder tattoos that stand out more than the ones I draw. For example, I don't always do this process; here's an example of tats I drew that do not blend as much with the skin:

For Frankie's tats I wanted a bolder look (she's the only one with colorful tats). None of these tats have a lower opacity setting, but I did color the lettering in a way that some parts are lighter/more saturated following the shadows of the skin. Again; this is all a matter of taste! My advice is that you should use the liquify tool a lot because as long as the tats "bend" and follow the body shape they will look like they belong to the character. Whether you prefer a "natural/faded" look or a bolder one it all depends on personal taste and your art style in particular. The gaussian blur trick makes a big difference too, although I don't always use it.

“For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

I’m dead serious when I say my favorite salmon dean moment is when Sam finds that horrible taxidermy animal with the costume on and holds it up for Dean to look at.
