Okay I’ll admit this the was really awesome and a really well matched to the song and edited

[strawberrypatty]

That’s fucking tight.

[ohifonlyx33]

ting ting TING TING TING! TING! *panting out of breath gasps in time to the beat* I LIVE FOR THIS STUFF

[wandrlust-stark]

fun fact a few months ago I showed this video to my 4 y/o brother and to this day he asks me to play the song (glitter and gold) because he is convinced it is “The Avengers Song™”

[mynameisagent12]

[siryouarebeingmocked]

A lot of fanvids either have the sound effects and speech lines overpower the actual music. This is one of the rare few when it’s actually properly edited to match the beat, and doesn’t rely on “oh, it’s that line you like! And that other line!”

[mikkeneko]

I’ve watched a lot of music videos, and I love  music videos as a genre, but I don’t think I have ever  seen a music video that’s so aware of its audio.

Like, most MV makers I’ve seen concentrate very narrowly on the video –  making sure that the movements and beats sync up, the masking, the motion, all of that. Which is very good! But this particular work pays an equal amount of detail to its audio – both the audio of the song, matching lyrics and meaning to visuals, but also the audio of the clips being incorporated. That’s actually rarely done, and even more rarely done to this extent – usually the video is sort of a silent dance to accompany the music.

Footsteps, impacts, hammer blows, breaths, words, grunts, screams – it takes it all and makes it part of the music.

[deehellcat]

another of those things that gets reblogged damn near every time it comes across my dash. <3

[labelleizzy]

Incredible work on the matching and parallel moments, I see new things to admire every time I watch this!

So You’ve Fled Worse Websites For This One And Wish To Make A Hellsite A Hellhome

Just a friendly reminder that on this godforsaken website you can and should do the following few things that involve going into your settings:

1: Under Dashboard, disable Best Stuff First, Include Stuff In Your Orbit and Based On Your Likes. The former ruins the how the timeline works here, the middle violates the sanctity of anonymity if people you follow don’t want you to see their likes, the latter is a crapshoot and annoying and inaccurate because the likes algorithm is fucked.

2: Under Account, turn off letting people finding your blog through your email address, your email should not be just out there like that.

3: Under Notifications, turn off news because nobody knows what the hell is popular or gaining traction at any given moment. Posts from 6 years ago will randomly gain a resurgence of popularity for no good reason. Also just turn off the stuff that gives you immediate info about notes or updates or notices it’s just so fucking annoying and useless.

Under Appearance, you can choose to make who you follow private and what you’ve Liked private. I recommend doing both of those things. The old days of dumbass slapfights and following discourse are long gone but not yet over. Defend your mental health by just not letting folks know what you’re following or what you like, do what the Bird Site never ever let you do. From here you can also choose to turn anonymous asks off and that’s a good way to learn who you need to block if they’re being a shit to you, which to that I say block early and block often.

This website is different than the Bird Site in that 1: it will not tell you who to follow and 2: Likes do nothing, Reblogs are what matters. Likes are nice but Reblogs keep the blood pumping and posts/works by artists circulating. You can even choose to reblog your own stuff. This site is a massive sea of islands that have boats parked around them and bridges between them. There are, regrettably, Nazis and TERFs and tradcaths on this site. I have never seen them except for when they decide to pick fights with people I follow. You should also make it abundantly clear those people are not welcome to interact with you. You can threaten them with death here. It tends to work. Tell the fascists to die, recirculate the blood of content, treat this site well and keep it healthy and it will keep your mind healthy in turn.

This site allows a shocking amount of anonymity in the modern age. You don’t have to share personal information if you don’t want to. I don’t recommend you do. People can and have used DNI criteria and trigger/content warnings to dunk on people or upset them. Keep yourself and your data safe, you don’t have to have a carrd in your header or a list of kinks or a laundry list of things you believe in. Keep strangers at an arm’s length and moderate what you tell other people about yourself. I know this used to be the internet’s #1 naked picture dump and so many people courted parasocial relationships with folks here. Those times have changed. Don’t be weird and don’t let people be weird to you based on what they know about you.

By many standards on this website, I am an old-timer, even though I’ve been here steadily since 2015 with an initial reg date of 2013. I know the old stories, of the Oncelor, of Dashcon, the Kickstarter scams, the doxxing. I only qualify as an old-timer due to the fact that I stayed through the porn ban of 2018 and kept circulating content. This site…it’s not good, but it is what you make of it. Curate your content, even though the tagging system doesn’t work. Find what you like, even though the search function sucks ass. If you’re here for popularity you generally won’t find it because the algorithm straight up does not work, but also if you were forged in the fires of the Bird Site you likely knew this would not be the case. My advice is to find a handful of people who provide a feed like I do and if any specific names you see a lot interest you, skim their own blogs, follow them if you like, let your network spread, never be afraid to prune who you follow. Also your follower count doesn’t mean shit, it doesn’t really dictate who can see what you’re putting out there, your marketing and self-promotion is more or less tied 1:1 to using the tag system and your own hustle.

My other advice is to be as queer as you want, support queer people, and most importantly to tell the fascists to die as creatively as you’d like.

[starsandskiees]

This is the only tiktok you’ll ever need, I’ve made about 13 of these and I’m not stopping anytime soon

[lunarcatninja]

I’m reblogging again because I did it myself and added pictures for those who have trouble learning from the video.

First take a standard rectangular piece of paper (I used one from a small notebook which I ripped out then cut the holes off)

Then fold in half touching the shorter side to the opposite shorter side.

Fold again making the new shorter side touch the other new shorter side

I did this one more time, but this time I unfolded it right after to get back to where it was only folded twice. It should have left a crease in the paper.

Using this crease, fold the corners up alongside it to look like this

This are also going to be unfolded, but this time you’re going to push in alongside the triangular folds you just made and undid.

Doing this once will result in this

Hold tight because tumblr won’t let me add more pictures. I’ll reblog will the rest of the instructions

[lunarcatninja]

Continuing on,

Do the other side of you haven’t already to get this

You’ll open these newly created flap to change which parts are touching

Leaving you with this

Then you start pulling the top “tabs” down

Do both sides to get the final folded form

Decorate as desired.

Hope this helps!

[honey-soaked-wings-deactivated2]

Ratio for the rectangle size is 2:3

So 6 cm by 9cm

[cottonkhaleesi]

I uh, lost an evening:

Thanatos knows that I hecking love cute origami, and moths, so really, what was I supposed to do, scroll past and not take the opportunity to make butterfly and moth page markers???

Say say say…

So I’m seeing this thing on Twitter called #Blacktober and although it’s a lot of artists that participate, it is also open to us writers. Even though it’s kind of last minute I just thought you guys should know about it and spread the word.

Maybe try to do a prompt or two? I know it’s kinktober but maybe if you aren’t participating in it, consider doing a few prompts? Also keep it in mind for next year?

I’m thinking about doing a few if I get out of this weird slump.

Here’s their website.

omg i really want to do this!!😩

[lilybugmusings]

Is there a website to look up models or people  to draw, with gender, ethnicity, and age filters. (if possible)?

 For example if a wanted to make a cartoon character realistic and use a real person for reference or to edit the photo to look like them?

I’ve been just googling  white 20s male, black female 40s etc. (can’t find any good references for kids either)  and been sifting through the results.

[putas-in-suffering]

I just imagine alpha! EZ omega getting her heat and considering locking him out, because they already have like six kids ages 1-6 because he goes feral every time she gets her heat and she's just like... oh shit, here we go again.

Feral EZ is a whole mood that we’d love to explore because we already know he gets turned on by knocking you up. Add in an Alpha rut and we got a situation. Y’all won’t be able leave the house. He wouldn’t let you 😏 And it’d be just as difficult for you to resist him. Between the grunts and growls and that immaculate dick...you’re a goner 🙃

Added a gif for science. Because you know EZ’s Alpha look is no joke. And it’s a signal for his Omega to fall in line.

[tropicalcap-deactivated20221003]

I don’t want to be divisive but I just need to say it: if you’re not black, I don’t think you can truly understand what this feels like.

You can empathize, and god I thank all of you for doing so, but you don’t feel it.

Not in the way every little black kid’s eyes lit up when they realized people who looked like them had a story to show about bordeline ethereal lands that showed them they came from somewhere beautiful, not just from a fucking boat.

Not in the way so many boys and even grown men felt pride swell in their chest at seeing themselves on screen as a powerful king, as a superhero.

Not in the way black girls and women everywhere felt encouraged to wear their hair out the way it grows from their scalp or shaved or threaded or any way they want to— and boys too!

Not in the way every single product of the diaspora, not just in the United States, saw themselves as something better, bigger, than what we’ve been reduced to over the course of history.

Black Panther came when we needed it the most, and Chadwick Boseman did so fucking much in the times before, during, and after the movie came out. He didn’t get dismiss it as “another superhero movie”. He didn’t “put up” with kids wanting to meet their hero, or older people wanting to express their gratitude because “when I was younger, I never thought I’d see someone that looks like me doing that”. He was key in us being able to feel good about ourselves across the board.

Chadick Boseman isn’t a character, and it would be horrendous to reduce him to such, but we can’t ignore the impact of his presence.

I’ve been crying since I woke up at 3AM to 24 texts telling me about the news in some way or another. I went to bed at 9PM last night, an hour before the news broke. I haven’t slept since then, and I don’t think I’ll be able to at any point today, because, y’all. I just can’t stop feeling.
