I mean, it's here so I should post stuff I guess.

It's been so long since I've been on tumblr. Hello? What's out here?

[stitchd03]

Hot take:

Dragons are tax-collectors.

It be like dragons are the evil land lord tax collectors who end up slowly turning into gold hoarding monstrosities over time.

This could SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE.

YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE NOT TO REBLOG THIS.

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF IT DOESN'T GO WITH YOUR BLOG'S THEME.

And yes, REBLOG. Liking does no shit at all. This isn't ig.

You reblog, people see it. You don't, people don't see it. This shit's that simple.

This could save someone's life. It's not a joke.

This isn’t some ‘oh yeah sure it could’.

This could legitimately do so.

Don’t you dare fucking scroll past.

This is good stuff to know!

all the tips I found for drawing a fantasy map are like :) “here’s a strategy to draw the land masses! here’s how to plot islands!” :) and that’s wonderful and I love them all but ??? how? do y'all decide where to put cities/mountains/forests/towns I have my map and my land but I’m throwing darts to decide where the Main Citadel where the Action Takes Place is

[fatal-blow]

okay so i know i said most of this in the replies but it might be easier to actually reblog and say stuff instead lmao

Cities - go near water!  freshwater lakes and rivers (rivers especially) are the best places for cities because A) source of water and B) travel and trade is much easier cus you can put your boats like right there.  Basically ever relevant city ever was built on a lake or a river.

for rivers in general - because gravity, rivers run from mountains (forming from melting snow and ice (this is why they get fat in spring–more stuff melting)) to lakes/ocean where they can empty out (and even lakes will have rivers leading out that eventually get to the ocean), which can help when mapping out where those start and end.  rivers are also much thinner and faster in steeper elevations and very slow and wide when the land is flat

mountains - i like to think of what the tectonic plates look like because that’s what makes mountains!  mountains are also never standalone they’re always in mountain ranges (archipelagos are really just underwater mountain ranges babey).  a cool trick I like to do is occasionally separate mountain ranges across continents, because over time the tectonic plates shifted and literally split the range in half.  These mountains are really old tho so they’ve eroded and therefore it makes them smaller and rounder (like the appalachians) as opposed to relatively young mountain ranges like the rocky mountains which have taller and sharper peaks

Another mountain trick: if your mountains run along the ocean, the ocean side of the mountains will get a LOT of rain while the other side will be very dry–almost desert-like, in fact.  think of temperate rainforests in British Columbia vs the drier conditions in the canadian prairies

forests - depends on how warm the area might be.  coniferous forests are found further north (before you hit the tree line, and then it’s only tundra onwards) but as you head south you get leafier trees, and the leaves tend to get larger too

If you think about general elevation too, you’ll have places that might be swampy (wet + lower).  if your world has an ice age like we did, then glaciers may have carved the land, leaving piles of soil in the south that was left when the ice receded and places where the bedrock has been bared north of that (like the Canadian Shield in Canada–the reason we see that is because of the glaciers)

You might also have a land that’s dotted in a shitton of freshwater lakes as well because the meltwater filled the holes that the glaciers scraped out (this is why canada has so many goddamn lakes)

and if the ice age was more recent than it was in our world, then you might not even have the forest re-growth and it could be a lot of open plains

tl;dr i like to think of major climate events that might have also shaped the land on top of some basic rules

The Artifexian has an entire series on building your world from literally the stars down and then the ground up.

Worldbuilding Videos - YouTube

All my worldbuilding videos

Though, for fantasy, you can make the world operate on entirely different principles:

With that done, the actual topic of city placement can be covered by videos like this:

Or

Once you have your places, if you want help naming them in realistic ways, this video can help:

This one is on architecture, which is definitely a subset of cities:

But for a more relevant practical guide on making settlements realistic:

Here’s a quick guide for making demographics:

holy shit?

For my 3D production class I had to create a three shot short that was a remake of an existing movie scene- with muppets. I ran out of time to do the particle water effects, but this is basically Pacific Rim anyway.

[acreaturecalledgreed]

fun fact this special scared so many kids so fucking badly (b/c the blair witch aspect was played weirdly straight) that CN never aired it again 

[hz-archive]

you’re telling me this is real and not a shitpost

[preciousbeaan]

I seriously thought this shit was fake until I looked it up

[drawing-bored-deactivated202312]

that one time a parody of a fake found footage film is believed to be fake until footage is found.

i found an extended version of the one above in which scrappy is inexplicably out in the woods and the gang, rightly, is scared shitless by him

We’re banding together — quite literally — for abortion access.

Artists and musicians are stepping up and standing with Planned Parenthood to protest the extreme abortion bans sweeping the country and the attacks on our fundamental right to make decisions about our bodies. From commitments to boycott filming in Georgia, to generous donations from their tours being given to Planned Parenthood, to signing an ad against the abortion bans, these artists are challenging abortion stigma and helping change the conversation about abortion. 

And together, we’re sharing our stories, reclaiming our bodies, and owning our power.

As summer comes to a close, here are some of the artists on our end-of-summer playlist who’ve stood up and spoken out to say: get your #BansOffMyBody:

1. Lizzo

Owning your body = good as hell. And we agree with Lizzo 110%: we’re capable of making our own decisions about our bodies. At this year’s VMAs, Lizzo rocked a necklace by Sophie Ratner that reads “Bans Off.”

2. Dua Lipa

We got new rules and they’re all about protecting access to abortion. Shout out to Dua Lipa for showing up for the millions of people whose rights are under attack. 

3. Sia

It’s not just abortion that’s under attack, it’s all sexual and reproductive health care. But together, we are a movement and we are unstoppable. 

4. Hayley Kiyoko

Girls like girls — and abortion access too, it’s nothing new. Hayley Kiyoko joined nearly 140 artists and musicians who stood up for abortion access.

5. Paulina Rubio

Our bodies are our own. If they are not, we can not be truly free. Or equal. 

6. John Legend 

All of us at Planned Parenthood will continue to provide health care for all of you. Thanks, John Legend, for speaking up for our rights!

7. The National 

We’re in no mood to have our rights be taken away. No way in hell. The National is banding together with us to stand up for abortion access.

8. Bon Iver

When it comes to securing access to abortion for everyone, we’re not out of the woods yet. But we’re one step closer, thanks to Bon Iver and thousands of others, who are standing up to say Bans Off My Body. 

9. Billie Eilish

“I’m proud to be standing up for Planned Parenthood as they fight for fair and equal access to reproductive rights. We cannot live freely and move fully in the world when our basic right to access the reproductive health care we need is under attack. Every person deserves the right to control their body, their life, and their future." 

We all know the real bad guy is anyone who thinks they can make decisions about your body for you.

10. Ariana Grande

So grateful for artists like Ariana who are stepping up and spreading their generosity for Planned Parenthood and abortion funds. We’re not letting up in the fight to protect abortion access; we gotta keep breathin’ and breathin’ and continue to fight back. 

11. Selena Gomez

We agree with Selena: stop telling us what to do with our bodies.

How much titty is too much titty for tumblr?

[teekettle]

(Example text seem familiar? Well, it should)

So I’m new to the fandom and wanted to try and make my own contribution. I’ve noticed a lot of fanfiction authors use different methods of writing Deadpool’s boxes, and I wondered if there was a way to make the boxes closer to how they look in the comics. I apologize if someone else has already figured this out; I couldn’t find any other way to do it so I just made my own to share.

This is awesome! because I was actually how flexible Ao3s CSS editor was. Since i oft find myself annoyed by pictures in fics when scrolling on my phone. It probably doesn’t extend to CSS5 but it’s nice to think about.

Tumblr, what the fuck is with this mobile update? Oh my god, can I get a legacy skin?

Horikoshi Sensei has dragged the monster fuckers from their hidey holes and I am living.

[barid-bel-medar]

Since when have the monster fuckers ever been hiding? I think you mean there’s been an Awakening of new monster fuckers.

[stitchd03]

You are probably right.

[stitchd03]

Do you think you'll ever update your Todoroki-san fic...? I hope it isn't rude of me to ask. I just REALLY enjoyed it! <3

Hmmmmm, I don’t know. Now that all the todoroki’s names have been revealed it feels kinda wonky. But I also have a bunch of scattered scenes written for the universe floating about. I’ll try and come back to it. Sorry for being such a flake. :p
