why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

SLYTHERIN: “We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then. To pretend that they and we are the same is a useful and convenient social convention which must sometimes be broken. We must also remember that at every meeting we are meeting a stranger.” -TS Eliot (The Cocktail Party)

Capoeira (/ˌkæpuːˈɛərə/; Portuguese pronunciation: [kapuˈejɾɐ]) is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music, and is usually referred to as a game. It was developed in Brazil mainly by West African descendants with native Brazilian influences, probably beginning in the 16th century. It is known for quick and complex moves, using mainly power, speed, and leverage for a wide variety of kicks, spins, and highly mobile techniques.

The most widely accepted origin of the word capoeira comes from the Tupi words ka'a (“jungle”) e pûer (“it was”), referring to the areas of low vegetation in the Brazilian interior where fugitive slaves would hide. Practitioners of the art are called capoeiristas.

How do I commission an artist?

this is something i’ve wanted to talk about for a while, and i know there’s plenty of people around who get nervous about making mistakes when they go to commission someone for the first time, so hopefully this will be useful to someone!

obviously i can’t speak for every artist out there, but i’ll try to stick to points that most artists can agree with:

Don’t play 21 questions with the artist.

if you have references and info that you know the artist is going to need to take your commission, then please please just give it to them up front. don’t wait for the artist to ask for references, don’t wait for them to ask if you want a bust or full body, don’t wait for them to ask if you want your oc drawn with or without their removable dragon wings. having to milk necessary information out of commissioners is a very aggravating waste of time, and spreading this information out over 3, 4, 5 e-mails makes it harder for the artist to keep it all organized while they’re drawing. have your references and extra instructions in one nice, concise e-mail. 

Your commission inquiry e-mail is not the appropriate place for fluff. 

some artists don’t have much on their plate and might even enjoy taking the time to read the 5 paragraphs you lovingly strung together about the character you want them to draw. other artists get 20 e-mails a day about commissions they need to finish in a timely manner to pay their bills and put food on the table. you don’t know what an artist’s personal life is like, so play it safe and be considerate. be short and sweet, and stick to information the artist will NEED to draw your request, so they don’t have to dig through piles of fluff to find all the relevant info. 

Have patience and be considerate! 

depending on who you’re commissioning and what you commissioned, they might take a while to get back to you! also consider that the artist probably has other obligations (college, jobs, etc) to attend to. if you think your commission is taking longer than it should, then feel free to (politely) ask the artist how things are coming along, so they can give you an update and let you know that you haven’t been scammed or forgotten about. if you need your commission finished by a deadline then let the artist know up front, and be quick about giving them what they need to actually do your commission on time. 

Tipping!!!

a depressingly large amount of artists are severely underpaying themselves when they open up for commissions, and encouraging the art community to have more respect for itself is only half the solution. some of us underpay ourselves because we don’t think we deserve more, but some of us underpay ourselves because we’re afraid we simply won’t make money by charging the appropriate amount for a commission. support artists you love and help end the starving artist culture by offering to tip when you buy a commission!

Remember that this is a business transaction.

as in: buying a commission from an artist is not planting a seed for your blossoming friendship. do not pressure artists into chatting with you, playing games with you, listening to you talk about your oc, etc, because you gave them money. you’re buying a commission, not a friend. don’t be the clingy commissioner. 

—————————————

and that’s all i got for you! be considerate, be organized, and communicate effectively with your artist!

1, 2, 4, 7, Relationship Asks

Presuming Garz since no specifications.1: Garz goes back and forth between seeking it and waiting. He sought it out pretty actively before the Shatterspear Slaughter, but kind of stopped caring after that because he was too worried about survival. Once he settled in Zul’Gurub, he started to seek it out again, though.2: Garz is pretty stone about if he has a crush on someone or not. Normally, he just ignores it and tries to help them with any problems unless they start giving him signals that they have similar feelings. 4: Normally Garz tries to get to first base, he’s not one for wishy-washy situations. He likes them to be firm and concrete once a mutual interest has been established, but there have been some cases where he’s taken it rather slowly.7: Garz has a traditional, trollish view of polygamy. In other words: fine for males but not allowed for females. However, even though he personally holds that viewpoint, he’s still normally okay with his mates having others. 

[shgarz]

Describe a scenario in which your character feels most uncomfortable.

Garz is laying on a beach and he keeps shifting, grunting and grumbling as he reached under himself to pull out a piece of shattered clay. “Dearest,” Ken’si murmured, “Why do you insist on laying on the shattered pot?”“I don’t know, life’s just been too comfortable lately.”

[shgarz]

18, any of yo' alts. :)

Gonna answer for Garz. He seems to have a thing for women who can match his religious zeal - he’s been into others that don’t, of course, but there’s just something about a woman who would kill him if her loa demanded it.
