17 for the wrapped drabble :D maybe life series joel?

17. Nothing Or Forever by Friday Pilots Club

“Go away Tango! Stop eating my car!” Joel yelled as he chased the other man, stopping as Tango scuttered away and out of earshot.

He stood there, looking at the place where the other had been, when Gem wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

“Stop looking lovesick, he just left.” Gem teased.

“I don’t- I’m not lovesick, I’m mad at him! He was eating the car!” Joel crossed his arms. 

“Mhm, mhm.” Gem nodded. “Then wipe that silly smile off your face and be actually mad at him.” 

Joel groaned, pushing Gem away lightly and going back to the car.

“What, did the cat eat your tongue?” Gem chuckled, following behind him. “Or better yet! Did Tango eat your tongue?”

“Shut up Gem!” Joel yelled, covering his face with both hands. 

As soon as she was out of earshot and he was well hidden within his car, he peeked out the window and looked at the tire, which had a visible chunk missing where Tango had bitten it. He couldn’t help the smile that appeared on his face for a few seconds before he caught himself and huffed, rolling his eyes.

Well, time to repair the damage that little gremlin had left behind.

Just had a possible revelation. Okay. Fellow artists;

When you draw people,

do you start with sketching/roughing out the actual body anatomy(doesnt have to be accurate anatomy, mind you) before drawing clothes over their bodies?

Or do u just. Start off with the clothes as part of your rough blocking sketch right off the bat? (Granted that u do a rough blocking sketch before your main sketch)

Can be either/or, or both depending on what your drawing, im just. Curious???

This is gonna be completely and utterly random but uhhhh

Cosplay eye contacts.

How do trust? Who do trust? What are rules?? How do wear? How long to wear? When shouldnt one wear them?

(The body has to wear glasses to prevent migraines due to a slight double sight(?) And stigmatisms, but has zero experience with eye contacts because said glasses have thick prisms and thus eye contacts arent feasible?? And thus the body is.. Hard to convince. We've never successfully gotten a colored contact in despite having tried in the past. Tips? Help? Much Appreciate!!!)

About the contact lenses!! A lot of cosplayers (including myself) use TTDEYE!! Good quality but a bit expensive, as are any contacts. They feel even weirder than normal contacts because of the colored layer, but not by much. Also, if you have something like a snake/cat eye or similar you will have to shift it around every now and then because when you blink they turn.

Also some tips, make sure to wash the contact cases regularly, around once a month should be fine depending on how much you use them, because small hairs and particles eventually build up in the liquid (Saline solution, if you get ttdeye it doesn’t come with so you may have to buy your own, but they come with a case.) Make sure to fill it up again regularly as well, or else the contact will dry out. You can let it soak in the liquid for a few days to fix it but it’s honestly terrifying to open the case and find one like that.

Last thing I swear, if the contact hurts, at all, take it out. You can let your eye rest and try again after a few minutes, but if it hurts it hurts for a reason. Look up “right way to put in a contact” images and it’ll show you what the shape of the contact is supposed to look like, because there is a wrong side and it will damage your eye. Your eye watering and maybe getting a little red (from the crying) is normal, but pain is not! And don’t try to stick the pain out either because I have made that mistake before and it was horrible.

Hope this helps! I can’t wait to see your Cosplay!! /gen

:O Thank you so much for this, it definately helps so much!!

Okay so like,, trans related question-

Not in the way of like, "is this a legal required step," but in the way of "is this a biological required step?"

I mean I'm Sure I'd run into issues getting confirmed for top surgery if i wasnt bothered about being on T beforehand but like.. Hnnng
