"I AM THAT IS" by Ethan M. Aldridge

So the fun part about GenZ slang being almost 100% AAVE is that I have a dictionary from 2001, from before I was old enough to even know how to use a dictionary, right? And this ain't that abridged shit this is the three columns 8 point font, pages made of tissue paper bound into a book that is 4-5 inches thick shit. You follow?

And there are all these reports on how new slang is and how to understand it and getting it wrong. BUT 2001 GOT ME

TWO THOUSAND AND ONE

Do you have any specific resources that you use for painting accurate armor (and maybe ones that don't just show the pieces statically but in movement)? I really admire your knight paintings and would love to draw some knights as well but I'm struggling with finding references that are good and not ai generated. Thanks so much!

hello! There are plenty of resources for armour, although I will underline that the armour I draw is not accurate by many measures. That being said: 1. for movement I cannot recommend video formatted resources enough. There are plenty of historical armour channels, where they show process of putting on armours so you will not only see clasps, layers, but also they usually showcase the movement on specific pieces! My go to is Alex The History Guy on youtube to see all sides of armours. Dequitem does historical non-choreo combat videos, where you can see a lot of the movement too! Aegis Armour also posts great videos of showing movement of individual pieces of armour 2. armouries! European Armour Catalog my love <3 , also Royal armouries has some of the pieces showcased on their website. On bluesky at least there are historical enthusiasts also who will share zipfiles of photo collections they have taken during their visit to armouries...so keep a lookout for those! 3. historical references. Manuscripts are a good place to get a feel of accurate armour and how it was worn - but you usually have to do cross-study with other resources to understand how those pieces realistically look like. Knight effigies are likely the best way to get good feel of accurate armour and how it looked like - effigies were made to resemble a dead knight in his getup. ....and more! There are plenty ways to find references for armour without any ai involved! But these are what I'm using currently :)

"do your own research" good luck with paleographic analysis of the sources then

the fun thing about having a mental health crashout in your thirties is that sure yeah you're crashing out, but at the same time there's a part of you standing across the room smoking ben affleck style, going yeah yeah you're crashing out. you crashed out before you will crash out again can we wrap this up yet. and the most annoying part about it is that they're right, and that that does Not stop you from crashing out even a little. love and light on planet earth.

my dream for tumblr is that we all relearn the phrase "it's not for me" and we remember that this is different from "it should not exist."
