on purpose!!! love people on purpose!!! find someone wonderful and love them and tell them it wasn’t an accident, you had a choice, you saw who they were and realized how lovely it would be to love them, and it is!!! i made a good decision! i love you on purpose!!!

[cinnnabunnn]

Hey jsyk it’s 2018 and if you’re still drawing characters with big lips like THIS, even if they’re pale/not black, it’s fucking racist. Stop doing it.

No excuses. “It’s a stylistic choice!” It’s a RACIST stylistic choice.

“Idk how else to draw big lips!” That’s because you relied on racist caricatures and are a bad artist. Teach yourself. Learn. If you’re not willing to do that, then you are a bad, racist artist.

“But it’s part of the character design!” Yeah, and it’s racist. If it’s your OC, then change it. If it’s not your OC, make the right choice and draw them with normal looking bigger lips instead of this racist monstrosity.

And if this post makes you uncomfortable because it’s calling you out for stuff you’ve done, good. Fix it. Own up to it. Grow.

If you see this and you’re first thought is to defend this: you are racist. You are part of the problem. Congrats. Now work on yourself and unlearn that.

[mizgrownnonsense]

Here’s how to do it right:

[mizgrownnonsense]

(some troll gave me shit about only providing overly “feminine” examples. I would have been happy to ignore them…but there are so many great examples on how to draw perfectly acceptable (not racist) full-lipped male characters, in the end, I couldn’t resist.)

[mizgrownnonsense]

Since this is making the rounds again, I’m reblogging the version with both sets of examples.

“Didn’t you drop it?”

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

[onewordtest]

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

[joehywheelah]

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

[tenoko1]

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

[cj-amused]

Things I didn’t know

[prismatic-bell]

“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”

[jawnwats-deactivated20160713]

You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.

[notesoftruth]

Okay, but someone please explain question marks when followed by a dialogue tag. How do?

[flootzavut]

“The speech tag is still part of the previous sentence,” she explained, ‘so it isn’t capitalised.“

“What do you mean?” he asked. “But there’s a full stop as part of the question mark!”

She nodded gravely. “I know!” she said. “A lot of people find this confusing. But the speech tag belongs to the line of dialogue, it’s still part of the sentence, so it’s wrong to capitalise it.”

She reblogged the post again, because she had recently read far too many potentially enjoyable stories marred by poor dialogue punctuation.

NOICE. Can’t wait to use this

[magpiefngrl]

“There are two more ways"—she pointed to the blackboard—“to punctuate interruptions. One is with the em dashes outside the quotations marks to indicate continuous speech. The action occurs at the same time as speech. The other—” she sipped from a glass of water “—is em dashes within the quotation marks to indicate interrupted speech.”

so apparently my city has a superhero. and a supervillain. who like, do activism. and. my mom. is dating the supervillain.

[notoriousmasc]

i live in norfolk virginia, and there’s this guy called the black widow who lives here

he does operate kind of like a real superhero, and he stops car break-ins and stuff like that! apparently he even stopped a case of domestic violence once. i don’t know if a lot of people know he exists, but he definitely seems like a nice dude, and he has a lot of articles centered around him

but. there’s also a supervillain?

this is Man Man, founder of “AdaManMantium inc.” He is both legally and occupationally a supervillain. that’s not even a joke he has actual paperwork designating himself as a supervillain. he even has a business card

Man Man is pretty obsessed with “testing” the black widow in a lot of different ways. like. man man threatened to give his (man man’s) cat to a kill shelter if the black widow didn’t solve a riddle he gave him (whether he actually did it or not i have no idea)

and he also got 35 people to donate blood once the black widow solved ANOTHER riddle which was cool, and there was also this time where he went to a gay bar and told people that if they bought drinks he’d send the equivalent of the money they spent to the westboro baptist church (but since they refused he sent them to a charity)

one of his more recent schemes included… going to the mayor of the city and trying to get him to outlaw masks.

the reason im telling this to you. is because

my mom is dating man man?

blocked out the private stuff but you can definitely see that its the same guy (and also him cosplaying as. Him.)

my mom has always had questionable taste in men (she had a crush on onision a while ago) but like. she’s dating an actual supervillain now which i think is fucking hysterical

so basically. tl;dr. my town has superheroes and supervillains in it and my mom has decided to date a supervillain

[notoriousmasc]

update: theyre engaged

Black Widow has a billboard and runs around with batons.

Area Man Experiences Consequences, Whines About It

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

If you're in the notes thinking this is really only about little origami stars

[jabberwockypie]

Red flags such as:

- Dismissing his girlfriend’s hobbies and interests.

- Talking her out of buying fancy paper because HE doesn’t think it’s important. (Why does it matter if she spends her money on something she likes for her hobbies?)

- Destroying a thing his girlfriend made, repeatedly

- Disregarding when she asked him to stop, because he just couldn’t help himself.

- Ignoring that this thing he’s doing clearly upsets his girlfriend

- Lying to her repeatedly

- That whole mess of homophobic nonsense in the update, and acting like he’s the victim when he actually experiences consequences.

Classic DARVO response (Deny, Attack, Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender).

- First he says it wasn’t him, must have been her roommates destroying her things.

-It’s not a big deal, they’re just little paper stars, why are you making such a big deal about this? It doesn’t matter.

- Trying to guilt-trip her about how she could have seriously damaged his computer with that glitter!  Why is everyone being so MEAN telling him he’s the asshole? And how dare she date someone else! Can’t you see how unfair and TERRIBLE she’s being to him? And he’s ALL ALONE for Thanksgiving because she’s just being so UNREASONABLE. (Totally ignoring that these things are all consequences of his actions.)

Reminder: You can break up with someone for ANY REASON. Even if it’s “not a big deal” - if they’re not respecting you, your belongings, or your boundaries, that is TOTALLY a valid reason to break up with somebody or end a friendship.

[carnivalseb]

To go further, while the lady in this story has very good reasons, you’re allowed to break up with someone for no reason at all. Being with someone is an active choice; you get to stop doing that thing, you’re not obliged to continue it. If you can’t articulate your reasons, you can still make an exit. You’re allowed.

I don’t understand a goddamn word but I feel the emotion in a deep, primal way.

[aletheyass]

ok i translated this (roughly. he speaks 100 words per second) cause this looks delicious:

take a portobello mushroom cap and massage it (delicately) with oil [olive i’m assuming], salt & pepper on both sides; lay it on a bed of aromatic herbs and add a couple garlic cloves; put it in the oven for about 30mins at 200ºc

cut a red onion [he uses a tropea red onion but i’m not sure you can find those abroad] in half, peel it and cut in little strips; in a pot melt some butter, add some olive oil and then the sliced onion; after a couple minutes add salt, apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of cane sugar

in a little pan cook tomino cheese [it’s basically fresh cow milk cheese i’m sure there’s similar ones in other countries too] with a tiny bit of olive oil (3mins per side); lay it on the mushroom (elegantly) and put it back in the oven for a couple of minutes [at least that’s what i think he’s saying???]

prepare the secret sauce: mayonnaise + mustard + tabasco + worcestershire sauce [that how you spell it???] + smoked paprika

cut the bun in half and toast it a little. now it’s time to assemble (in the following order): bread, sauce, fresh rocket salad/arugula, mushroom + tomino cheese (mamma mia!), caramelised onion, bread

cut it in half to admire it better—what are we even talking about???

ba

[brunhiddensmusings]

this is oddly close to real ‘ard’ is a real suffix in the english language just like ‘ly’ or ‘ify’, it just isnt common enough for us to notice its usage. ‘ard’ means ‘too much’ or ‘too easily’ so ‘mustard’ is something that is ‘too pungent’, just as ‘wizard’ is someone who is too wise, ‘coward’ is someone too easily cowed, and ‘drunkard’ is someone too often drunk

this implies that ‘bastard’ is someone who is too ‘bast’ and this needs experimentation and research

[sistertaxon]

Are you fucking serious omg

[necromancy-savant]

This is pretty much correct. According to the OED bastard is from Old French and the bast- part means “pack saddle” which was used as a bed by mule drivers, giving the phrase fils de bast, a child conceived on the pack saddle instead of the marriage bed. In English it becomes bastard, the -ard being a pejorative. It is the same one as wizard and coward and drunkard.

Pssst

Hey, are you an artist or writer with WIPs?

Come here... I got a secret for you pssst come ‘ere

[kittmoon]

waiting in deep suspense

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Psst you ready here comes the secret

Here it comes

[moinsbienquekaworu]

I am also very curious about this secret

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.

[botwstoriesandsuch]

This post went from 3k to 7k overnight and that just goes to show how many of you need to hear this so make sure you don’t ever forget it

How did they find the worst audio ever made

[trans-mouse]

Yknow, I watched this without sound. And I saw "I hate you" as a reply, and assumed something awful happened at the end of the video. And then I scrolled down a bit further, and went back up, listened to the audio and I gotta say. I agree with found-sheep.
