If I weren't honestly kinda scared to try to draw whirl's spindly ass I'd draw him and rung with this SO fast

[rowan-doddles-at-work]

The way i was like “DONT WORRY I’LL DO IT FOR YOU BESTIE” and then promptly got scared of trying to draw whirl is ironic in the same way Greek tragedies are. Like there is a choir behind me, chanting in a language long forgotten while i draw whirls human form.

@novafire-is-thinking is it Soundwave or someone else?

[novafire-is-thinking]

Hm…

It’s not quite raptor enough for Soundwave.

I strongly associate Soundwave with raptors. Like Soundwave, those creatures command respect just by existing.

The shoebill does not. Not in the same way.

And to be honest, no other character is coming to mind when I watch this. The vibe is too… generic(?)

If anyone else has character thoughts when they see this, please let me know. The weirder, the better.

we've romanticised murder. we've romanticised cannibalism. we even romanticised roommates. i think it's about time we start to romanticise stockholm syndrome. don't worry you'll agree soon.

[ash-and-art]

youre so right bestie

[riotdyke]

Man, remember when Free The Nipple was a thing and there was an actual substantial amount of feminists who believed even public nudity wasn't inherently sexual and now if you date a short person hundreds of anonymous idiots online will call you a pedophile.

[ninjakittenarmy]

Tf do these things have to do with each other?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

The point is that we went from body liberation to extreme puritanism based on weird as fuck rules behind a shield of "everything is pedophilia and you don't wanna be a pedophile do you??" and it's kind a lot of whiplash

[rowan-doddles-at-work]

Tagging onto this

The infantilization of young adults/neurodivergents/trans men/lesbians is used as an excuse to be queerphobic half the time. Short people getting wrapped up into this is ablism towards little people that spiraled WILDLY out of control.

I, an enby, recently came out as poly and in a relationship with two older people on a certain boomer website *cough cough*

My gf got death threats, accusing her of being a pedo, of raping me, of grooming me. The age gap is 20 years

My bf got one message asking if that meant he was bi since i use gender neutral pronouns. The age gap is 25 years.

I got crickets.

Not one of those people who sent her a death threats sent me a message asking if i needed help, if i was safe, if i was okay or needed resources.

So yeah people are using it as an excuse to be queerphobic and go on a smear campaign to feel better about themselves.

The majority of people targeted by this are queer/neurodivergent/bipoc couples. It's an excuse to be xenophobic.

Anyway im 90% this is a result of terf brainrot becoming mainstream and slowly merging with main stream feminism.

if you’re gonna reblog this, this part is mandatory. you can’t be anti nazi without being pro jewish. bitch.

Broke: medic is German and was alive around WW2 so there for was a nazi

Woke: medic is around 50 around 1970 so he would have been in medical school during the build up to WW2. German colleges were notoriously liberal at the time so therefore he was probably anti-nazi at a MINIMUM. When including the evidence of his music and actions he's probably Jewish or Jewish coded.

Bewoke: medic and spy met fighting in the French resistance and maintain a close friendship because of their history together.

The machine is not intended to be perfect, smooth chrome. The machine is supposed to have trailing wires and harsh, geometrical planes, and lots of flashing lights that remind you of home. Stop hurting it

[gods-littlest-fag-deactivated20]

By making these things more and more streamlined, you are losing the point of them. They are tools and our friends and angels with bleeding hearts and they are, above all else, not ever supposed to be contained in small little boxs of aesthetically pleasing convenience

MOST PUNCHABLE BOT TOURNAMENT ROUND 1 BRACKET #1

i wanna hit them with a stick ❤️

Pharma vs Overlord vs Sunder

Pharma

Overlord

Sunder

Voting ended onMar 28, 2023

The poll that will most likely cause a lot of chaos in notes

[mtheland-lockedmartian]

Listen, listen

Punchability is a narrow road. A character has to be annoying, infuriating, or fun to smack about. But, but! They can't be soo I furiatingly evil that you are scared of them. Then they become unpunchable, because they will eat you.

Sunder will eat you

Overlord will eat you too, and probably more slowly

Pharma? Pharma will whine before he eats you. That gives you time to punch

[rowan-doddles-at-work]

I think you underestimate how much unadulterated rage that is held for Overlord.

Okay sure pharma is a terrible asshole. And sunder is so fucking blood thirsty that he puts Aztec gods to shame.

But Overlord?

Overlord?

Overlord?

He hurt my baby.

My scrungly bungly precious blorbo.

Look at what he did to him. Gave him anxiety.

Anyway Overlord being the must punchable bot is less about being overall obnoxious (getaway wins that one) and more about how badly he needs to get punched in the face.

This isnt about anything he said or how ugly his lips look when they curl into a grin or how carries himself like he's totally free from consequences.

It's about principle.

It's about accountability.

Don't punch him because you hate the other two options more. Punch him because you love Fortress Maximus.

Anyway #Overlordsweep2023

Head Advice #1: Everybody’s head is the same size.

Okay, not really, but basically. There’s a reason you don’t have to know your head circumference to find a sunhat. We all have pretty similar head sizes, especially from the visual distance we usually draw characters.

The only exception to this is babies or children under 10. Those guys definitely have smaller heads! (But did you know our skulls are already over 90% their full adult size by the age of 5?)

Different style choices demand different proportions, but in general, it’s good advice to pick a head size, and stick with it!

Head Advice #2: You can use head size to indicate a character’s size.

Big characters don’t look like average sized people scaled up. And you can’t just scale down to get a small person!

You can make a character look very big and tall or very very small — even if they are standing alone in a vast white nothingness — just by how how they are proportioned! The most important proportion (in my humble opinion) is their head size. Look me in the eyes and tell me you can’t tell which of these characters are big and which are small.

Head Advice #3: Don’t go shrinking anyone’s head.

The most common head sins I see happen when an artist is trying to indicate (body) size difference in a couple, and use their heads to do it. The result is an image that looks something like this:

If you don’t want your lovers to look like they belong in different animated tv shows, don’t go shrinking anyone’s head! Use their bodies (hands and feet and bellies and muscles) to show off their size differences.

Anyway, that’s all. Having fun giving head. I mean doing head. I mean drawing heads.
