In my heart I think tfp would fold under a single genuine compliment, and I feel like D-16 was always liberal with complements sooo

[sanguine-humor]

phm is decently popular in japan and i mostly see this when i check twitter and see accounts posting pictures of handmade rocky plushies that are so fucking round looking it brings a tear to my eye

[sanguine-humor]

he keeps me sane

[sanguine-humor]

btw, idk if this will be seen by any of the countless people who already have seen and reblogged this post, but heres the original guide posted on how to make the chibi-rocky! the OP also has a separate guide for a more accurate rocky, though obviously less simple of a guide than the little thingy shown off

(im surprised this post gained any attention, haha, if i had known i would have just shared the guides, the more handmade pebbles in the world the better)

would y’all ever date someone with the same name as you?

[hmslusitania]

I’m sorry for adding directly to a post but I went to a wedding once where the groom’s name was Loren and the bride’s name was Lauren and at the end the officiant was all “introducing Loren [surname] and Lauren [surname], husband and wife” and the entire assembled lost it

[tevankinkley]

also sorry for adding on but at my high school there was a Dominic and a Dominique who were dating and everyone just called them “Dom and Dommer” which is honestly the funniest shit ever

[faerytale-wings]

My parents are both named Terry (spelled differently) but I’m pretty sure that’s one of the reasons my mom never changed her last name.

People would call and ask for Terry and child me would be like “boy or girl?” And they’d panic and hang up. My mom found this endlessly amusing.

Why would you leave this GOLD in the tags??

I have just learned that Mountain Goats are NOT, in fact, actual Goats.

[adurot]

I have never heard of this band. I AM in fact referring to the animal.

[adurot]

But wait, there’s more!

[turing-tested]

i was looking everywhere in the car for my vape because i lost it and I found these instead

[indiecup--fordeactivation-deact]

I’m astounded at the level of personality that can be predicted from the word vape and these glasses.

[turing-tested]

this is the meanest thing anyone’s ever said to me in my entire life but I can’t even argue with this. what could I possibly say to defend myself in this instance. this was a one hit KO. this was a murder. this was a fucking slaughter and I have only myself to blame

[cassidy-peterson]

You act like people knowing you’re in the Squirtle Squad is a bad thing?

[turing-tested]

yes that is exactly where these glasses are from. a perfectly respectable long standing anime and nothing more

media: we have an anti-authoritarian story for you!

me: sweet hit me with the good stuff

media: so there's this marginalized underclass of people, right?

me: okay

media: and they're like, stigmatized for something that's mostly an aspect of how they are born, or where they're from, or they're badly misunderstood, right?

me: yup, got it, I'm with ya

media: so these people are rebelling against the current social order, because it's the instrument of their suffering

me: oh good great sure

media: but also they're violent and deranged and need to be stopped

me: ...what

media: yeah they're going too far, they're trying to overthrow the system and assassinate the nice cop trying to help them and also they burned down an orphanage

me: ...why? would they burn down an orphanage??

media: extremism is bad

me: still not seeing what this has to do with their fight though???

media: also now they've shot a dog. oops they shot another dog

me: what?! why? I though their motive was to overthrow oppression??

media: yes but their suffering has also made them evil

me: ...???

media: don't worry though, the good guys will defeat them and restore the status quo

me: the status quo that's been killing people?

media: well it turns out it was only killing the kinds of awful people who burn down orphanages and shoot dogs :)

me: oh. this is actually a pro-authoritarian story, isn't it?

media: nooo of course not don't be sillyyyyyy we're super progressive look one of the cops is a black lady don't be sillyyyyyy

[zootycoon-archive]

i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck

[loseremo]

[syzygy-yzygy]

THE ORIGINAL? ON MY DASH

[this-too-too-sullied-flesh]

this post led to a series of events that had martin scorsese himself reacting to his alleged movie goncharov and it has less than 400k notes almost 3 years later?

[0migott]

Saw a trend a few days ago and i couldnt resist drawing pitfighter vi in the same pose♥️

[minggomangger]

Distracted from work, so cute, I love them

[espirit210]

Just the best lil goober ever.

[Original template + white bg under the cut!]

I debated giving them their light world designs just to be silly but considering over half of them are Darkners I think it woulda felt a bit disjointed. Maybe later tho if I have the time!

Original meme is by soup-erb or @its_soup on twitter!

[centipeedl3]

Comic based on a post I liked a lot

Rocky bless your heart never change

[auvra]

I did this trend on tiktok (yes, finally succumbed to tiktok) because I just wanted to see Shen Jiu being the villain everyone in the novel oh so portrays. Because if he were to actually be an irredeemable villain then imma make sure he looks good terrorizing everyone. Because he is my mother.

[crumb-crumblet-s-crumbington]

idiot brothers

[bcnnibeau-deactivated20200330]

we really devolved as a society when we stopped using fully painted pictures on romance novels and started using cheap photoshop instead 

[bcnnibeau-deactivated20200330]

case in point

this is a Hell of a downgrade 

[garbage-empress]

worst crime capitalism ever committed was eliminating Horny Oil Painter as a viable career option.

[higglety]

I went down a rabbit hole this summer researching romance novel covers and painting fanart in this style and

this is an EXTREMELY fun style to work in, and also

many of the most iconic romance novel covers you’re probably picturing when you think “classic painted romance novel cover” were produced by one prolific, masterful artist

Her name was Elaine Duillo, and she had a long and extremely productive career spanning from the mid 60’s to her retirement in 2003. She worked mainly in acrylics.

She did illustration work in other genres as well, but she really found her niche in romance novels. She pretty much redefined the aesthetic conventions of the genre, popularizing male models and male nudity and sexualizing men to cater to the female gaze in a way that simply wasn’t the norm before her work. You know Fabio? she’s the one who started using him as a model, and essentially launched his career. And honestly, just look at her work:

magnificent

[sindri42]

Wait shit, she retired in 2003? I think that’s exactly when I started seeing shitty photoshops on all the new romance novel covers.

She was literally carrying the entire industry single-handed and then they just did not replace her.

[assassinregrets]

she just died this year back in july. rip beefcake queen

[aeridea]

Someone please carry on her legacy. Keep the illustrative arts going.
