friendly advice to not revolve your life around one person, one feeling, one place, one memory, one problem. the complexity of life and the diversity of the world is beautiful and you have the right to explore it. do not settle for less. you deserve better.

unless one character in the equation is a heinous asshole or something, i am entirely impervious to love triangles. 

[jvlianbashir]

i live by the “____ has two hands” meme motto

[jvlianbashir]

“oh no!! two friends fell in love with the same person, what will they do???? who will have to sacrifice their heart??” NOBODY, BITCH. 

“a character thought their spouse was dead but they finally moved on and have a new spouse they love… but now the original spouse is back! who will bow out for the others’ happiness??” I MEAN, ALL THREE OF THEM HAVE WEDDING RINGS ON ALREADY…

“this trio of adventurers have faced hell and high water together and developed incredibly deep bonds with each other during their quest, but now that their quest has come to a close, which two of them will settle down together?” COZY COTTAGES IN THE WOODS ARE BIG ENOUGH FOR THREE.

tolkien: all the war and death in lotr has nothing to do with the war i was in

tolkien: just like how all the morals/good vs evil/everything my characters believe have nothing to do with my morals/beliefs/religion

tolkien: and that character that comes back from the dead has nothing to do with my religion which is based on someone coming back from the dead and uses coming back from the dead as metaphor literally constantly so don’t get any ideas

tolkien: and none of those giant evil spiders have anything to do with the tarantula that bit me either

clive staples: jirt youre literally so stupid

Were did the inspiration for the Greek Gods comic come from?

I was really stressed one day XD 

My husband told me to take a break from Blood Stain because I was writing that one strip for over 3 months and suffering through it because a lot of the writing required finesse and me forcefully trying to resolve it only made it worse.So I decided to take a break. 

Step away from it for a moment and come back with fresh eyes.   

———–

But I didn’t want to do “nothing” during that process..  I wanted to at least practice… something. 

So I remembered an Artemis/Orion story I once read years ago and how it was cute and how I used to want to make a short comic out of it, so I decided.. well I most definitly don’t want to work on ANOTHER comic right now, but I can try and have fun and do some redesigns to see how much my sense improved over the years.

I had a simple rule. I will not overdo anything. I will make it as simple as possible  to the point where I don’t even have to finish stuff. This is a thing I am doing to relax, and to get my motivation going and nobody even has to see any of it. 

But of course. To do those designs I decided  remind to myself of some of the old mythology stuff  I forgot over the years. It was easy to set the mood given that I studied Minoan culture in school already but still needed reminding.

Anyways… so I went on the internet to check on other myths and ended up losing myself in reading those for 6+ hours. And not just the myths either, the ancient rituals and wedding ceremonies and all sorts of stuff from that time period.

and… started doodling. On a paper no less.

some of them even made it in the final cut ;D

(Now just to be clear right away. I’ve never read any fiction. No books or webcomics other people did. I’ve just recently found out about dresden files and lore olympus and uh.. Percy Jackson? To be perfectly honest I’m not a bookish type. I don’t really.. read fiction. I think part of it is also that I don’t really have the time either. I pretty much draw from the moment I wake up till the moment I go to sleep with some food in-between.

So yeah.. the only thing I will read is stuff for research.

——

…so anyways I stumbled upon the Hades Persephone myth and went—”heh.. I wonder what they would look like, lets doodle it.”

An image of Vlad and Elly just popped and wouldn’t leave my head.

I couldn’t imagine Persephone looking any different from Elly because her features felt so absolutely perfect specifically with the flowers and a rather bubbly personality I had in mind. And before I knew it I started drawing their interactions together. And so Punderworld was born.

oops! O_o

hello frems who followed me for kirby, i will try to draw more kirby 4 you ok

on my To Draw list: scratch doing watercolors and making the “meant to grab my actual drink and instead just took a big ole swig from my brush rinsing cup” mistake in both her standard elemental form (where she’s fine) and in human form (where she’s Less Fine), with the implication being as a water elemental it’s a frequent slip up she never really bothered to avoid bc it basically has no real consequence outside of “haha, oops, guess i’m gonna be [insert colors] today!” and then, being used to that, does it again in human form, where all of a sudden it’s EUGHUGHGHPBBT

douglas adams is literally the anti-lovecraft. seriously, look at the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy. it’s not cosmic horror, it’s cosmic comedy.

lovecraft: you’re surrounded by strange things that you do not understand. isn’t it terrifying? adams: those things? those are normal. the worst thing about them is the bureaucracy. you should get out more. you can read all about them in this gigantic book.

lovecraft: you are ultimately insignificant and the universe will be unaffected by any actions you take. isn’t it scary? adams: um duuuh literally everyone already knew that. let’s go get lunch.

lovecraft: you are transforming into a terrible monster and you can’t stop it. adams:

Literally any other colour would’ve been a better choice guys.

[minty-mayhem]

I’d like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings.

[prescribedburning-deactivated20]

im sorry but this reply absolutely killed me

red can mean whatever the heck you want it to mean, that is never going to change that this straight up looks like they DRAGGED A BLOODY BODY ACROSS THE FUCKING FLOOR 😂

[elsegame]

Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Red does has more positive connotations than negative like the @mintymaiden said. Red is associated with more love, lust, passion than blood and death just like the chart shows you but If you want, here’s a link for you to check it out yourself. Also, check out “The Designer’s Dictionary of Color” by Sean Adams. Have fun learning something

What is Color Theory?

What isColor Theory? Color theory is a term used to describe the collection of rules and guidelines regarding the use of color in art and de

[youngdiasporan]

I think y’all are missing the point here.

[forlovefromfear]

You can theorize to Nebraska and back but that doesn’t change my immediate reaction which is that someone is literally dragging a corpse around

[jhenne-bean]

I like that the presumption here is that “No One On Tumblr Has Heard of Color Theory, Let Me Explain in Depth” rather than simply acknowledging that the VISUAL EFFECTS of this particular color choice, applied in the manner it was, can still amount to “this is a hospital and that looks like blood”

like, color theory doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If your design of choice for Blood Red Paint is asymmetric splatters and sploches against the wall, or in this case, a snail trail on the hallway’s floor, an infographic won’t override the viewers’ instinct.
