The problem with being low support needs is that people mentally autocorrect that to “no support needs” and then proceed to give you absolutely nothing and then get surprised when you implode after six months.

Because people dont realise that by looking functional each day, I'm fighting myself on everything that people do naturally. Reminding myself to brush my teeth, to make myself food, get exercise. All stuff neurotypical people do without consciously thinking about it. Fuck, i forget to BREATHE sometimes.

And eventually i get so run down and exhusted i implode and suddenly, i dont have the energy to do things i enjoy doing.

Low =/= no

I really love the aesthetic of kintsugi and the philosophy behind it just seemed perfect for both Chris and Leon, thus this abstract idea was born!

[peppertwitches]

studying history is like. here's to another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be. thank you women who fight for abortion and contraception and independance from men for another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be

The KIDS act (which contains KOSA) passed the US house, so I recommend calling your senators and telling them to vote in opposition. I don't think I need to stress the importance of being able to use the internet freely and without privacy barriers being breached.

There are many scripts online you can follow, many ways to tweak your message to fit your senator (ESPECIALLY if they are up for reelection this year). Whether it's a recording you reach or a real person, be straightforward, don't argue, just let your rep know that you are a constituent and you oppose the KIDS act, etc.

Here is where you can search for your senator... call, email, fax, bring them physical letters, show up in person to their offices if you are able.

Some body sketches for a softer looking Chris. The first image in the top left is roughly traced. I do that so I can get comfortable with where everything fits. The rest is putting to use knowing how bodies move, so the remaining sketches are all free drawn.

Just a heads up, if I ever trace something for practice, I generally don't post it, but I also thought this'd be a good post for any artists out there looking through other peoples art and learning from it. Tracing for practice is fine, but remember to use that practice and build it into your knowledge. Best believe, I've zoomed in on so much art from other people, its a helpful way to figure out how a piece is composed and helps you learn how to compose your own pieces.

Enjoy some bonus Chreon in the bottom with Leon very much enjoying the extra softness Chris has

For reference, this is from 2014 when i was drawing on paper and had never touched digital art. I had 0 concept of how to draw bodies. I was 20 years old when I drew that, and I think, esp in this day and age of AI, people forget they don't need to use it in order to create art.

I never had art classes beyond what was taught in school, everything I've learnt has been through hard work and practice. I wasn't good straight away and that's fine, because I can look back at old art like this and be proud.

smoochy smoochy!

dont ask where their other arms are. idek

[imjunebitch]

calling ppl "larpers" to insinuate theyre fake fans of smth/poorly pretending to be smth is so fucking stupid cuz. tell me u have never met a real LARPer without saying u have never met a real LARPer. those guys care. they are fucking locked in dude. like LARP is a lifestyle its a commitment they care so much. they're not fake nerds either like fake nerds just repost LOTR gifsets and talk about how nerdy they are for being into like, fucking batman and stuff. LARPers know their shit. they read the whole Silmarillion. they know who Ambush Bug is. like get LARP's name out of your fucking mouth

[peppertwitches]

Im fr so done with people taking a word that already means one thing and turning it into a slur of sorts. Stfu. Let people express joy over something, no matter how invested they are (LOOKING AT YOU RE FANDOM)

[peppertwitches]

quick sketch. recently have been messing around with a different style, and while im not keen on how it looked, i learnt a lot.

so im gonna head back to a more cartoony look using what i've learnt

I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

[peppertwitches]

This is where my stubborn ass has decided, if you have an insufferable/malicious ad, i will now NEVER buy your product. Idgaf if it's good for me. Go fuck yourself.

I'm constantly trying to improve and still kinda iffy with faces

I work with kids and sometimes we have to do safety lessons with them about like, not telling strangers on the internet your home address or something. And sometimes the kids wont understand why, so you have to impart upon them that, well, some adults want to hurt children. And thats kind of difficult to do, because you have to beat around the bush, both because you dont want to scare them (while still making them understand how serious it is) and because you might lose your job if you explain it too straight forward.

Luckily, for some reason, the villain of one of the most popular franchises with children for the last 10 years happens to be a serial child murderer. So when a kid asks why they shouldnt trust strangers, instead of hand wringing and humhawing my answer out, I can just say "we dont always know when a strange adult has good intentions with children, or when they are William Afton."

[peppertwitches]

Sorry to put you on blast, but THIS comment is important.

Kids are not stupid, just ignorant. You do not need to shy away from a lot of things and having representation you can reference within their media is super important.

Remember when Inside Out came out and childrens therapists praised it for providing a child geered way to explaining emotions? It taught kids that everyone has these emotions, they are natural, what theyre about and how to identify them.

So yes, make villians in kids movies actually bad, cuz whilst all this recent 'bad guy thats not actually bad it was just a miscommunication based on generational differences' is also important, so is 'this bad guy did this horrendous thing and it was just because they could, and you dont need to forgive them for that'.

@staff I need the follow button to not be so close to the post options because I dont wanna accidentally follow a blog when I'm trying to say I'm not interested in it.

Also, fix ur damn algorithm. Just cuz I like one post, does not mean I want my feed to be spammed with 50 more bs posts tagged similarly.

If I like the same tag multiple times, then that makes sense.

[peppertwitches]

Is it ... ok? To tell a writer they need to stop putting fullstops in the middle of sentences and place them where theyre supposed to go? At the end? I'm never sure where people stand on grammatical criticism?

Just had to back out of a fanfic that would stop the flow of reading by doing this.

Example sentence: He was pretty sure that. Dogs couldnt have grapes she told him he. Was right and that it can cause issues.

[peppertwitches]

Bro's got big scary dog privilege 😅

For the Supernatural Werewolf Hunter AU (tyty @tojustforart this lives in my head rent free)

I wanna say this is later on. Some therapy has been had, Chris doesn't feel the need to wear a shock collar anymore and Leon has less self-worth issues. Leon might also be a bit of a brat.

I've done this pose before with Lucifer and Alastor and I gotta say, it looks 10x better this time around. Yay for progress!
