Tumblr’s Favorite Mom Tournament ‘26 Round 5!
🦉 Eda “The Owl Lady” Clawthorne (The Owl House) 🦉
🐍 Camila Noceda (The Owl House) 🐍
Dude the randomizer was so mean with this one, Luz would cry so much
Camila is losing, she needs more votes
how does it feel to be able to singlehandedly turn the tides of a poll so quickly?
Neutral about it, also Eda is losing but not by much
Do you like the colour of broke college wall art?
Update:
hehehe
Finished product 👍
Completed project ft. some of our other decor
We had to move out of the dorm and are no longer living together :( instead of trying to decide who gets this, we agreed to make a new one, but the 2 of us decided that this wasn't long enough. The original model as pictured above was 36 paint chips, and about 7 feet long off the top of my head. It gets the vibe across but we knew we could do better.
The picture on the left is me holding the original 36. The photo on the right is me holding 92 paint samples. Yes that's right almost 100 paint chips from Home Depot. The employees hated us but didn't stop us .
Assembling this thing took up my whole basement. I couldn't even get a good picture of it because it was so long. We took it outside to measure it.
BEHOLD! THE WORLD'S FIRST AND MOST ACCURATE RECREATION OF DYLTCOTS MADE EXCLUSIVELY OUT OF PAINT SAMPLES!
It is over 18 feet long.
It was too big to get a picture off it in my place, so it is a draped banner in the humble abode
go my little appl
la voix des annonces (SNCF) vs Morgane Alvaro (HPI)
la voix des annonces
Morgane Alvaro
Madeleine (Voleuse) vs Avril (Avril et le monde truqué)
Madeleine
Avril
Madeleine souffre d'avoir été maltraitée par un ancien camarade de classe et négligée émotionnellement par ses riches parents
elle est kleptomane et vole des objets random quand elle est mal à l'aise
jusqu'à ce que sa nouvelle copine la convainque de les rapporter discrètement
(et d'aller manger une glace ensemble après entre deux bisous)
Avril vit dans une continuité alternativement steampunk avec accent sur le charbon et étudie la physique-chimie en autodidacte et espère retrouver ses parents scientifiques disparus
elle n'a pas le temps pour des trucs stupides comme des échanges de salive avec le premier gars venu et elle ne se laisse pas marcher sur les pieds
Karaba (Kirikou et la Sorcière) vs Tante Phlébite (Le Petit Spirou)
Karaba
Tante Phlébite
Propagande
Karaba : femme terrible et magnifique, c'était chouette à l'époque d'avoir des femmes avec un peu de caractère et des défauts comme antagoniste
why do we pit bad bitches against each other
je ne vais rien rajouter sur Karaba, juste : cœur sur elle
quant à tante Phlébite, ça n'est pas un monsieur, c'est un ex-flic qui n'était pas heureux en homme (ni probablement en uniforme)
c'est une vieille à chiens
c'est la gentille voisine des Spirous qui gardait leur bébé
et en qui ils ont assez confiance pour l'envoyer encore passer ses vacances maintenant qu'il a un pue grandi
This is for all you ladies out there.
the struggle is real
I have a trans man story about this.
Since I’m pre-t I still have my period but since I’m socially out as trans I use men’s bathrooms. One time at the college the family bathroom was taken and so I went into the men’s room to do my business. I tried opening the little pad as quietly as I could manage, but the rustling and ripping sound still happened. I froze in silence because I didn’t know if the other guy in the men’s room heard it or not.
Then after a little bit of silence I hear…
“Who has a bag of chips?”
And in a panic I just whisper back to him “I’m not sharing.”
Then I hear a huff before he finished his business and left.

the honest to god audacity some of u have to shit talk someone's free home made cookies out in the open.
It’s crazy that countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles
The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.
The new plants also help even more water soak into the ground which reduces flooding even more.
These places also give people places to grow food and graze animals like people are turning completely dry compact desert into a refuge for wildlife and plants and solving regional food insecurity just by digging holes.
The half-circles are called zaï! They're a traditional farming practice in the Sahel desert, and their introduction + reintroduction can be largely credited to Yacouba Sawadogo, the man linked above! He reintroduced and innovated on the zaï on his own farm in the 1980s, and did extensive outreach (along with scientist Mathieu Ouédraogo) to encourage other farmers to adopt them as well.
He also promoted the use of cordons pierreux, which are basically just lines of rocks to reduce erosion, preserve sediments, and increase water absorption.
Immensely cool dude. He's been a personal hero since I learned about him.
thought this was cute ^^
SAY NICE THINGS TO PPL
Reblog to tell the person you reblogged it from that they are really cool.
Yeah okay Ill reblog that!
Not a scholar at first, but the guy who wrote Jaws hated that people used it to justify hating sharks so much he dedicated the rest of his life to shark research and advocacy.
The woman who popularized gender reveals wishes she hadn't, afaik.
(afaik- the woman who popularized gender reveals did so because she had a long history of miscarriages. The reveal was a celebration of the fact that one of her pregnancies had gotten far enough that there WAS a physical sex to reveal. It was never intended to be like... *gestures at modern gender reveals* all that. That same kid later came out as trans and yes, the family had a second gender reveal for that lol.)
This whole thread is so beautiful to me that I can explain it
A lot of people on twitter wanted me to explain how I draw expressions, so here you go
Unless you're drawing explicit realism, in my opinion, expressions should be exaggerated to some degree. If you aren't doing a 1:1 recreation, the point is to get the FEELING across. Try making the expression you want to draw and feeling how your face pinches and stretches.
Skin doesn't just "disappear" when your face moves it around --- that's where wrinkles come from! Pay attention to where your skin creases when you emote, and use it to your benefit. It's a fine line between overdoing it and underdoing it -- find your own balance.
Ultimately, every expression has a little bit of push and pull, unless your face is completely neutral (and even then, there are still some wrinkles...). Learning to think of expressions as actions and reactions is VERY helpful in learning to draw them without needing a reference, and in learning how to stylize and push expressions based on references as well!
I think a lot of people end up with stiff or unexpressive emotions in their art because they're just trying to recreate a picture instead of understanding WHY and HOW the face is moving --- and it's a tough thing that takes a while to really pick up and learn. Hopefully is helpful in showing a way of thinking about it that can influence your process and approach to emotions!!!
Also, bonus: even without the lines, the planes alone still show a LOT of emotion.
Everybody be on HIGH ALERT... …. ……this could be dangerous
