telltaletypist

i realize this is probably not the most exciting poll i've ever done

I use Comic Sans because it is one of the easiest fonts for dyslexic people to read. I want everyone who can, to use my patterns, understand them, and enjoy them.

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things

Drawing challenge: draw your favorite male characters like this

thatdemonbish

this is exactly why i’m a huge fan of posemaniacs!

you get 3d model pose references with the option of having a male or female anatomy for each pose

they have a WIDE VARIETY of poses that you can search for using a TAG SYSTEM

(as you can see by the scroll bar in the second image there is Even More Tags)

you can select a pose you like for larger viewing and the convenience doesn’t stop!!!

you have full 360 viewing range of the pose plus zooming in and out

and what’s that? a TOOLBAR?? MENU?? THING??

Correct!

the eye button hold a very fun menu

negative space blacks out the background and fills the pose with a solid white silhouette

the “texture” refers to the skin situation of the model with the “color” and “grey” shown below

(i usually use color personally)

then there’s the option of different sized drawing grids(4 and 16 below)

idk wtf bounding box is about but it looks like this if it matters to you

“floor” toggles all shadows on the floor, “floor grid” you guessed it puts a like perspective guide grid on the floor that goes to forever, and “shadow” toggles ALL shading. there is NO lighting happening if you turn that off. NONE.

NEXT ITEM! that box thing with the line through it? flips the pose horizontally.

the little person symbol? lets you switch anatomies

camera icon? you can choose from a selection of preset camera angles PLUS an option for … idk what to call it but you can do this!

less flat right!! i’m sure there’s a word i just don’t know but this is maximum *that* so there is less *that* if you want it

the lightbulb gives you a menu like the camera one but it offers a selection of lighting styles with variable intensity

CHARMING!

and that’s not even everything this site provides!!!!!!! they have tutorials, instructional videos, lessons, all sorts of shit!!! (although they are vast majority if not all in japanese just a heads up)

AND ITS ALL FREE

DONT EVEN NEED TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT OR APPROVE OF COOKIES JUST GET IN DO YOUR THING GET OUT NO STRINGS ATTACHED

and if you don’t have ad blocker or are on mobile(like me) NOT TO WORRY

the ads are few and far between! ZERO video ads, NONE take over your screen or glitch you at all, they are of no concern i forget they’re there!

(this is not at all sponsored btw i’m just a genuine fan of this site and i’m happy to spread the good word unprompted)

@oyavaski i think the funniest part of this is you thinking that this is fake because.....some of us are the same age and we have normal tumblr names i guess lmao????

handweavers

never thought i'd get accused of faking having a mice infestation for tumblr clout and yet here we are

eldriitchmurmurs

you fucked those mice yourself

#mice for clout #slut shaming

Being in this country is like living with an entire abusive family bent on your destruction, but you are completely dependent on them for your survival and there's no way you can leave, because you can't support yourself because you are disabled, and therefore every other household you could run to thinks you're a useless piece of shit because you aren't able to clean their fucking floors, and won't let you in. But they all have the unmitigated gall to look at your house and talk about how barbaric your parents are, and what's wrong with you, are you stupid, you have to get out of there, it's your own fault if you don't leave, you brought this on yourselves, you're dragging everyone else down with you, you are uniquely stupid and deserve any suffering you experience because of your proximity to your shitty family.

every few months my partner becomes re-obsessed with the stupid shit alpha male podcasters and pick up artists say and i must deal with him repeating nonsense like a parrot

iwilleatyourenglish

posts like these are catnip to him.

between the weirdly clinical phrasing and baffling responses, he simply cannot get enough.

manipulated-pieces

Here's some openings I might try:

1. "Hey, babe, I like how your shoes and shirt are color coordinated with the Doritos and the aisle caps. I notice things like that."

2. "Family size doritos? I love a girl who can eat. Oh, for your family? Oh, so like it's pretty serious then?"

3. "Doritos, huh? Feeling a little spicy today? Better skip the Cool Ranch, that'll really bite ya"

iwilleatyourenglish

what if i hit you with big truck

iwilleatyourenglish

i'm saying this as nicely as possible: your partner sounds gross and it is not your job to educate a whole adult not to be a misogynistic bigot.

please ask yourself why you feel the need to respond to misogyny by "reinforcing good behavior" and "gently" voicing your opinion. he is not a baby. he is not a dog. he is a grown person and hate should not be handled with kid gloves.

you can do better. misogynists who unironically parrot alpha male bullshit are not worth a second of your time.

Bottom surgery

the way sesame street, a pbs puppet show for literal babies, is pressing on with pride content despite vitriolic monsters descending on every post to insinuate they're pedophiles or demons while some of the biggest companies on the planet who could swim in olympic swimming pools of money like scrooge mcduck on steroids buckle and cave just emphasizes how completely and utterly pathetic these corporations are. they'd butcher a baby if it meant saving a penny.

Sesame Workshop has been doing pride stuff since 2017. The Muppet Wiki has a nice list of stuff they've done:

LGBT culture describes the social paradigm by which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals sometimes identify. C

Jim Henson supported his openly queer colleagues in the 1970s! The Muppet performer Richard Hunt was majorly influential on Sesame Street, the Muppet Show, and Fraggle Rock.

They also dumped Chick-fil-A in 2012 when CFA made their stance on gay marriage known.

It would be a dishonor to their memories for the Jim Henson Company to kowtow to queerphobic demands when their namesake always stood for diversity and acceptance of everyone, and it makes me proud to be a Muppet fan to see that insisted upon 💖🌈

Domestic incompetence is going to kill men

ok but the sight of that giant lint block does not make me want to clean out lint more. imagine how good that shit would feel to touch omg

regexkind

You can just gather that shit. And then if you're only drying cottons or something you can take it camping and use it as firestarter

Some other things a person might not know, especially if nobody ever taught them because their parents assumed that men don't need to do house maintenance:

Washing machines have filters to catch large debris; you should check these periodically and remove anything stuck in them. If you don't, it affects the machine's efficiency and eventually can lead to the filter getting clogged and flooding your laundry space.

Washing machines also need to be cleaned from time to time, generally by running them on hot with nothing in them except cleaning chemicals (you can buy washing machine cleaner, or google it for various diy solutions that probably involve vinegar or bleach). If you don't they'll start growing mold, and then all your stuff will come out of the wash smelling bad.

Dishwashers also generally have filters to catch large chunks of food and whatnot. Boy howdy can they smell bad if you don't ever check them.

There are dishwasher disinfectants as well, or you can do things with vinegar; either way, it'll prevent mold buildup and also hopefully rinse away buildup from soaps and whatnot.

If you have a reusable water bottle, wash it weekly. Otherwise you're probably drinking mold, the effects of which can be widely variable but almost always bad.

Vacuum cleaners often need their filters cleaned or replaced. If you vacuum a room and it smells worse than it did before, you probably need to change the filter or the vacuum bag.

scienceandstorytelling

To clarify, the reason you have to clean the lint out is 1) it makes your clothes not dry well and 2) it fucking CATCHES FIRE

unexpectedyarns

My sister's garage caught fire because she didn't clean her dryer vent. The dryer started sucking lint through to the vent pipe, which was metal. It got hot from the effort and caught fire.

We used to stuff dryer lint into sections of paper egg cartons and pour melted paraffin or candle wax in them. Cut them apart and have very effective starters for the grill or campfires or the fireplace.

You can also disperse clean dryer lint into water with some dissolved white glue, dip a crude 8.6"x5.5" frame with (ironically, a used dryer sheet) stapled to it into the water/lint vat, lift the frame out and let it dry, and have handmade paper. (Don't do this if your dryer lint is full of bits or pubes. Or do, you weirdo).

The United States Postal Service is the latest federal agency looking to reduce its staff, according to a letter sent to Congress by the Pos

Next time you're around when the mail gets delivered, ask your delivery person if they're understaffed or not.

But don't hold them up too much, they have a lot of work to do.

Y'all NEED to let your conservative family members know about this because the USPS is a LARGE employer of military veterans and has AMAZING benefits.

They employ over 100,000 veterans. Your conservative uncle needs to know those jobs are threatened.

netherworldpost

Your regular reminder the USPS does not use tax payer funds

The relevance of “should they” can be debated

The truth of “they don’t” cannot be in good faith

So I ask you — why does it need to be cut? To whom does that benefit? Do you agree with them benefiting?

I think maybe the thing I like most about the human race is that we will invent something completely, utterly, blazingly stupid and then do it because it brings joy. This is so dumb. This is so awesome. This makes me so happy.
