Sk8rot

Heyo!! Artist here, adult in his 20s who enjoys drawing horror art & stuff on the more macabre end. None of my gore will be posted to this account unless light & appropriately tagged with both the gore & cw gore tags. Feel free to ask me shit if you want idk. Art tag; #sk8rotart

[sk8rot]

Artfight soon

Pretty excited about it!

But also; if anyone in the artfight discord is uncomfortable with how I've been chatting/etc but they don't want to confront me directly, feel free to send me an ask on anon through this tumblr! I'm willing to adjust what I talk about/how I do for folks, whether that's spoilering & adding a TW to specific contents or etc.

No one's approached me about stuff like that, but I wanna put it out there just in case to be safe!

[sk8rot]

Been gone due to helath & other shit. It's lowkey kinda wild what stuff's put out 0 proof & folks'll just believe it tbh.

I got friends who know me & folks who know me where it's clear that stuff don't reflect my shit, but I won't be interacting with my homies publicly for a while. I don't want them getting caught in any of the crossfire of whoever's firing off with stuff rn.

[sk8rot]

Matching my name rn w this brown recluse bite or smth fr

Sorry that I ain't been around posting shit, to the few who actually check here, I been mad sick fr 😭

Another ArtFight 2023 Attack on Sk8rot - this time with a bit more shitpost.

[cannabiscomrade]

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡

Horne said two staff members are sorting through the calls, and two investigators are working on credible leads.

[yeah-yeah-beebiss-1]

and for the love of god, don’t just spam it with memes or le funny shrek jokes or whatever, they’ll just hang up

make plausible-sounding reports for things that don’t actually exist, so that they actually have to waste time/resources investigating false leads - the goal is to waste time they would otherwise be using to do their jobs, not to get tumblr clout for being an epic troll

[neko-setsuka]

So apparently the internet article said the superintendent wouldn't be deterred by the prank calls because they would 'taper off eventually'. It'd be a real shame if this post stayed in circulation via queues so they get a consistent list of prank calls to filter through. 😇

[wolfythewitch]

somewhere in my mind there is an alternate version of the odyssey where odysseus died at troy and it's just his ghost trying so desperately to get back to ithaca. the fates won't let him go home because it's not right for a corpse to want to live

"what if im a bad person" yeah? well what if you arent? what if you're trying your best and you're growing and you're kind? what then?

[studentofetherium]

CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

[studentofetherium]

if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

[rifleweeb]

[unculture]

THEY ARE TRYING!!!!! SIGN THE PETITION TO GET THE DISNEY ANIMATORS' UNION RECOGNIZED

[clustxr]

this petition is from IATSE (union), btw! it actually has credibility, unlike most change.org/etc petitions! please sign it!!

[friendball-irl]

Oh no... it was the toe I keep in a jar. I need a new jar.

Be open to the possibility that people are speaking nicely about you behind your back. People are conspiring about ways to help you. People advocating for you. People are genuinely rooting for you behind your back.

Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes don’t go feral like in the book.  It’s almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.

there’s a timeskip

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

after losing control of the signal fire there’s a FUCKING TIMESKIP and when the next chapter starts everyone’s hair is several inches longer and their clothes have rotted to shreds and they’re still just kind of chilling!!!!

IT TAKES THE TERRIBLE IMPERIALISM MIND-POISONED EXCESSIVELY BRITISH BOYS IN THE ACTUAL BOOK SEVERAL MONTHS TO COMMIT A SINGLE ACT OF INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE, EVEN THE ONE (1) CHILD WRITTEN AS AN ACTUAL SOCIOPATH

AND then when they DO turn on each other it is because

THERE’S AN UNSPECIFIED WORLD WAR HAPPENING

AND A PILOT’S CORPSE CRASH LANDS ON THE ISLAND POST-DOGFIGHT AND THE CHILDREN MISTAKE THE PARACHUTE FOR A MONSTER AND SPIRAL INTO PARANOIA

BECAUSE CHILDREN INHERIT THE LEGACY AND TRAUMA OF VIOLENCE FROM THE ADULTS WAGING WAR AROUND THEM

HURR DURR IN THE REAL WORLD IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN LIKE IN LORD OF THE FLIES -

#tbf the dude wrote it to be a dick

yes. yes he did. i’m also gonna direct you to the real life ‘lord of the flies’ which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until they’d cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. here’s a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.

i read about this in rutger bregman’s human kind, a book i cannot recommend highly enough, but if you don’t want to go and read a whole book about the inherent goodness of humanity (which again, you really should) then the relevant excerpt can be found here.

My friend forgot to secure the latch on his magic card briefcase and all his commander decks are now mixed together. Now he’s playing 1200 card pickup and has to reorganize everything.

the feeling of learning is legitimately so cool. there’s a little whoa sound effect that plays in your brain whenever you read a sentence that expands reality for you a tiny bit

[sk8rot]

Haa 'gifted child syndrome' would like a word with you- it took me over a decade to learn that laying on the floor curled up in a ball crying & crying the entire time I was trying something new, because I couldn't get it down the first or second try perfectly, is what learning feels like.

For anyone else that's got that though- please know that those lil breakdowns while learning isn't something to avoid. It's something you need to push through, the feeling of finally having it click is worth a thousand of those. It's the best feeling int he world

[foervraengd]

Discussed painting backgrounds at work today and my coworker told me she loved drawing backgrounds and when i asked why she just said “because theres so much stuff in backgrounds and i love drawing so that means i get to draw a lot!” And thats just 🥺 thats just such a nice reason to draw backgrounds i feel like something changed within me.
