Sable’s Thoughts

Howdy! I'm here to aggressively reblog you or spit out stupid ideas. I get way to into things, and have the desire to reblog a lot of posts at once. In an effort to not flood my main/art blog with more stupidity than is already on it, this blog is to the rescue! Main/Art blog can be found here: https://www.tumblr.com/thepaintedsable

This is going to sound so stupid but as someone from a subtropical area, I struggle to fathom the climate of Britain. I’ve been doing a lot of research on the climate of southern Wales. What do you mean the temperature is usually between 34°f and 66°f? The record low is only -9.9°f and the record high is 98°f? I’m from a place where it is usually between 30° f and 90°f, the record low is -34°f and the record high is 110°f. My brain cannot comprehend the idea of a place that isn’t freezing in the winter and sweltering in the summer. No life threatening temperature seesaw? No tornadoes? No hail?

Welcome to my ted talk

[dude-itsjustaref]

https://posespace.com/ is a nice space of references with humans of different bodies and skin colors.

At first it got me puzzled as I thought it is accessible only as a paid resource, but actually you can use their pictures in a low resolution. The search is ok, though I don't like that there's no option to look for Asian models.

They have really basic T-poses from all the points of view possible:

easy static poses that are nice to show off character design

great stuff with props

gymnastics

expressions (I struggle with emotions A LOT)

And some clearly erotic-leaning stuff.

Excuse my really dumb censorship, I was unsure if it's too much lol.

Character duo where one *remembers I don’t like fitting characters into trope boxes* is a completely fleshed out and realised person *remembers treating characters as real people and not story devices written with intent is bad* who is written by the author and *remembers death of the author* uh. And *fumbles and drops my pile of queue cards* ah fuck wait no *the menacing horse* what was that.

people who do cave diving/would want to try it: why?

to flex on people who can't stomach doing it

to flex on people who can't afford it

I will fight Wet Balrog

I will fuck Wet Balrog

to find secret underground El Dorado

to stop the prev from finding secret underground El Dorado

people who are to inherit me encourage it

The One Who Stalks The Deep calls me and I must go

I grew up and can no longer crawl down the toilet pipes at home

I just fucking love the wet dark

I hate being in sunshine so much it's unreal

I do not cave dive, and would never want to

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

[yokowan]

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

[le-jardin-inculte]

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

She isn’t her step mom, she’s the mom that stepped up!

Congratulations on your new loving, extremely loud mom

What do I need to do when people respond to arguments of "you, as an adult, should be capable of making this specific choice for yourself, and can be expected to take responsibility of the consequences" with shit like "but what about my sister's kids, if we let my toddler nieces loose in these circumstances unsupervised, they would get seriously hurt". Like I get that some of you were taught to just skip the words you don't understand and assume that they aren't important to understanding the whole sentence, but how do you not know what the word "adult" means??

[loremonster]

When I was small, about six or seven, I was balancing on a curb while waiting with my mother. I don't remember what we were waiting for. There was a toddler nearby, their parent otherwise occupied but within earshot. While I was doing my balance beam thing, my mother noticed I had the toddlar's rapt attention and said to me "Careful, you have an audience."

I noticed the toddlar, knew toddlars tend to copy others without understanding and don't have great balance, and promptly sat my butt on the curb as I realized I was Setting A Bad Example, and did not know I was doing it cause I didn't realize A Kid Was Watching.

If you are outside your home? Assume a toddlar somewhere can see you, and consider what they'd learn and then attempt from the watching. Would it be dangerous to them? You cannot assume supervision, toddlars people watch out windows all the time, and if you choose to act in a way that they copy dangerously? You just Made Labor for that kid and their entire family group to Unteach that before its an ER visit, and Kids Don't Roll With Un-Teaching. The harder a parent demands the kid stops without explaining why, the harder the kid will cling to that behavior or a permutation of it whenever they feel trapped, spiteful, or upset.

If you don't consider that there may always be a set of extremely young eyes on you, you will make life harder for all of your peers who have to deal with that kid. Consider them if and when you find yourself upset and feeling entitled to a public behavior when giving it up does you no harm, and may do others incredible good.

Part of Being The Change you want in the world is living it, even when no one is watching.

That is a beautiful sentiment. What does it have to do with anything in this poist?
