Your progress collages make me so curious about your medium(s). You’ve mentioned watercolour and acrylics in some of your other posts, but I know only goache could overlay onto existing colours in such an opaque manner--or even diluted acrylic paint. I’m trying to get back into watercolour and your art is an inspiration to me, so for my sanity: you must share the madness behind your genius, please.

@somerandomdudelmao, Cass, sensei… this is the first time I want to try and put the emotions after chapter into words. I terribly regret that at the time of reading it it was not raining outside my window, but even so I experienced incredible delight. You hit the very heart. Their dialogue, composition, details, everything shot to my heart. Such scenes are usually considered boring (?), but they are my favorite, just such dialogues, enjoyment, atmosphere, everything is calm, only characters and emotions. looks at the song It's already become canonical for me for your future Raph, plays in my head every time I see him. Very calming, I want to sit next to him and talk about anything. Also, I'm terribly glad that this conversation scene with Casey has kind of become similar to the "rain" scene with Donnie. If Donnie showed Casey the world in chaos, then with Raph he enjoys the beauty in this world. Next is Donnie's scene? Time to fix it) Also... Casey finding Raph in the cave again... truly a devilous mind of your that I want to praice...

Crab Day!!!

Where:

Here on Tumblr!!

What:

Buy crabs!

Why:

As we now know, Tumblr is $30 million dollars in debt. Oops. Tumblr has announced some major (and unpopular) changes to the site in their attempt to get back above water. The alternative is that Tumblr ceases to exist. But maybe we can change that...

How:

There are 327 million unique tumblr visits per month, and almost 500 million active accounts. If 10 million unique users (or less, if we bought more than one) bought or gifted Crabs from the Tumblr store, we could knock out Tumblr's debt easily. Buy crabs!

When:

July 29, 2023 is Crab Day, running through August 5 (for anyone who can't log on that day) as Crab Week!

Who:

Everyone!! If you truly can't afford to participate with a $3 crab, (or other item from the shop) post crab memes!

Time for Tumblr users to rise again and surprise everyone...

Sketched on paper today and found that my tremors are a little worse than the last time I did traditional art. It’s really disheartening, but hopefully the weights and pencil grips I ordered will help.

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3
