You’re missing highlights such as:

MAKING EYE CONTACT

PICKING ANYTHING UP

WALKING (???)

COMPLIMENTING PEOPLE ON SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT

EXERCISING

?????????

EATING IN PUBLIC

and my PERSONAL favourite:

EXISTING IN THE SAME SPACE AS A MAN

Part 1/3 of some samples of my boards from The Owl House “Enchanting Grom Fright” YES! Grom finally aired! This has been one of my favorite episodes to board on thus far. I’m honored to have been able to play a part. :) The forest scene was especially close to my heart because I got to really go at it with the lighting and the mood, and the fun mud action haha I just love Luz and Amity; they’re so fun to draw. Originally, we had a smaller critter crawl on Luz and then I had it fly into the light above Amity and fizzle out, so that last board never made it into the show, but I enjoy how I drew Amity in it. :) PLEASE DO NOT REPOST!

so

we have this app called toogoodtogo where restaurants/cafes/bakeries/hotels and so on sell their leftovers for really cheap to reduce foodwaste

bless

[frompawntoqueen]

The America version is called FoodForAll

[somecunttookmyurl]

I love TooGoodToGo all of this sushi cost me £3.50 (the chinese food cost me £3.59)

[korben600]

YOOOOOOO, they’re formalizing this?!?!

I used to do community service at a community breakfast, we’d go to the local Safeway and get all their stale bread, the local bakery for their stale baked goods and whatnot.

They throw away so much food it’s ridiculous, I’m glad someone finally created a program like this!

[askawelfarecaseworker]

The American app isn’t available everywhere but if you’re broke in NY or Boston, check it out!

[tundrakatiebean]

The US app logo currently looks like this and was last updated 3 weeks ago (as of January 25th 2020)

[sissikuk]

TooGoodToGo is available in many European countries, including the UK, much of Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Italy and the Iberian peninsula. 

[unzip-your-guts]

In Canada we have flash food, I dont know if it’s just confined to loblaw stores but you can get food that stores have to throw out for dirt cheap

[defira85]

I know I reblogged this once already but I’m back to say there’s an Australian version!

YWaste has been around since 2017 apparently, so they’re quite well established if you’re Australian and in need of options

[fischotterkunst]

yall look at this shit ad*be is tryna pull now on ppl who have outdated software:

(note for context: i’m all for piracy, but in this case my copy of CS6 was downloaded years ago when they were giving it away to students. i got it totally legally.)

[fischotterkunst]

so here is what NOT to do if you’re a loyal fan of adobe who has the cash to shell out for a newer and shittier version of the product you already paid for.

1) DON’T use your search bar to find and open the Run app

2) DON’T type in services.msc

3) DON’T find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and don’t select ‘properties’

4) if you happen to click properties, DON’T use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DON’T click apply to finalize that change. 

5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software Monitor 

if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobe’s ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely don’t do any of these things. 

however, you SHOULD reblog this to spread the word, as we certainly want to make sure lots of people know what NOT to do :)

[hideousgourd]

I’M SORRY MA'AM. I KNOW YOU’RE UPSET.

Pretend to be upset.

[june-egbert-official]

OP how could you

I hope none of my friends who use Adobe programs find this, follow your detailed instructions, and spread the word. That would be devastating!

Your mom finding her friend at a store is like unskippable cutscenes

[helpmemysisterisafreak]

The fucking worst is that as I get older i completly understand the interest to catch up an unreasonable long time because turns out adults just dont get enough time to hang with friends, so catch up next to the Aldi cheese aisle it is

[stark-tony]

au where jet doesn’t find out that zuko and iroh are fire nation and when he runs into the gaang he goes ‘oh by the way this is my new friend lee. we met on the ferry ride over here!’ and the gaang and zuko just like awkwardly stare at each other for a really long time

[urbanfantasyinspiration]

I love it

[linanlu]

[thescarlettempress]

*in everyone’s minds*

Zuko: Maybe if I just keep up my persona, they’ll believe I’m someone else… Okay, that’s stupid, but what choice do I have?

Aang: …Maybe if we just pretend we’ve never met before he’ll stay nice and we can all keep the peace.

Katara: If he lifts one hand against us, I will freeze them both.

Sokka: Please be a coincidence. Please be a coincidence. Please be a coincidence. Please be a coinci-

Toph: Why is he so scared? Is he shy? Why is Katara so upset? Why is Aang freaking out? Why is Sokka so irritated? And now Jet’s freaking out.

Jet: Do- do they not like him? Do they not like him because he’s my friend? Do they still hate me? Do they hate him because of me? Lee looks like he’s about to pass out? Is he okay?

[theoneandonlyturtleduck]

This needs to be a fic

[duckie-baby]

ACTUALLY SCREAMING

[insert-awesome-loki-url-here]

Toph to Iroh: oh hey, you’re that really old guy who gave me tea once

Everyone else: ????

more of an admission than a realization

[whatwasthatinthemiddle]

i havent reblogged or posted anything in a long while. i don't know what exactly i wish to say here, but i feel like i am doing better now than i have in the past, and i have an actual job in the field that i want to work in which is pretty rad. I'm really thankful for my friends and family (i will be petty and specify that my father is not included in that) for assisting me and giving me the strength to not give up, and for just enjoying stuff together. i feel like ive changed a lot since i was last active here, and i hope that ive changed for the better

a 3 panel comic with dialogue from a tumblr conversation. the first panel is Ness from earthbound and his dog King, sitting on the floor next to a dog food bowl.

1st panel text bubble: Ness: “Pets love eating meat flavored cereal with no milk”.

2nd panel text bubble: King: “(Dog food doesn’t taste like meat tbh)”.

3rd panel text bubble: Ness: “its for you king”. Ness looks sad and is patting King on the head.]

by the way, if y’all like being thrifty with food, I wholeheartedly suggest going and buying a turkey right around now. Grocery stores are at the peak of their desperation to get rid of leftover Thanksgiving stock, and turkeys are a relatively undesirable product for 99% of the year. They don’t want to throw these things away and they’re settling for a BARE minimum profit. My local grocery store was offering up a couple different brands for anywhere from sixty cents to two dollars a pound.

A turkey can go straight into your freezer and stay there for up to a year as long as you get it in before its expiration date, and it’s a lot of food that’s not as difficult to prepare as your complaining father has made you believe on literally every Thanksgiving of your childhood.

Signed, a woman living paycheck to paycheck who just bought ten pounds of meat for eight dollars.

20 things you can expect as a traditional (2D) animation student that they never tell you:

you will love your rough drawings more than your clean

if you don’t flip your drawings your teachers will know. oh they will know.

you will draw an insane amount of detail at first in hopes to impress your teachers. don’t. they’ll get you to inbetween that shit and it’s not fun. trust me, there’s a reason successful cartoon shows have nice, simple, clean designs.

line weight is hella important. as is colour theory.

storyboarding is not easy. it’s actually in demand rn because of how time consuming/difficult it is. lots of fun though especially if you’re a creative person.

the animator’s survival kit is your bible. doesn’t matter that thing weighs as much as a small child. take that shit with you everywhere. it is now your baby.

glen keane is considered a deity amongst animators.

your teachers will likely look hella young but irl be much much older. this seems to be a side effect of working in kid’s shows for over 10 years. it is a good thing.

every animator knows the impending dread of deadlines. yes, this includes your teachers. it is likely many of them will be working at studios/their own projects the same time as teaching. that is why they are immortal and their wisdom incomparable.

 speaking of deadlines, say goodbye to a regular sleeping pattern and balanced lifestyle

if your wrist starts to ache like a bitch then start drawing more with your shoulder. loosey goosey baby. loosey goosey.

life drawing is essential. don’t skip that shit. anatomy is important. even if your character has six arms and five eyes you still need to be able to make them move.

you are regarded as a dying breed amongst the 3d kids. that’s ok. give them a pencil and paper and ask them to animate a 4 legged walk cycle traditionally. see what happens.

however if you’re anything like me, maya will look like a foreign language to you.

srsly wtf is maya? what sacrifice to the animation gods must i make to understand this program?

watching your favourite cartoons and animated movies regularly is important not only to motivate but is essential bonding time with your classmates. only now everyone wants to talk about how beautiful the backgrounds in steven universe are as well as cry over the character designs.

perspective is hard. period.

there is always that one kid in class who’s already done their 10,000 drawings and are untouchable. those are the ones to sit near in the hopes you can try and get some of that raw talent to rub off onto you.

coffee/energy drinks/sugar will rise to the top of your already crumbling food pyramid.

you improve lots. and some days something will just click and all of a sudden you’re firing out 40 frames an hour. 

and finally no. 21 the most important thing of all: bring a blanket and something squishy to sleep on and leave them at school. there will be emergency nap times. sometimes weekly. sometimes daily.
