A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background.

truly my LEAST favorite form of advertisement these days is the faux-tiktoker/influencer who is here to Sell Me Something. the “omg unbox my Pureology (TM) skincare haul!!!” “doing the #NespressoChallenge!!!” “you guys will not BELIEVE what i got from shein-“ like its scary. its WEIRD. not only do i have no idea who these perfectly manicured, babytalking people are they feel less like real people than even an actual advertiser does. stop trying to make me believe you are my friend. you are something inhuman to me. you are a changeling. you are a brand wearing ill fitting human skin and i see its skeletal shape shift beneath the surface.

He’s not the only one who can fly. That dude created it all by himself, baby.

I wish I was a female tiger because then if I was talking to someone and I was getting off topic I could say “but I tigress,” and then kill and eat them because I am a tiger

Me not knowing what asexuality was and thinking that I was Bisexual because I feel the same for both men and women:

i think a common misconception is you need to be aro or ace or on the aro/ace spec to have qpps or platonic (life) partners. so this is a reminder that anyone can have a qpp or platonic (life) partner if they so choose, even if you're not aro/ace!

So proud of her transition!! Amazing results!! The light in her eyes is back. HRT is magic ✨

This whole submarine situation is a grim reminder that safety features are there for SAFETY rather than inconvenience, and that regulations are often written in blood.

The juxtaposition of the company going from "isn't it great that we built such a cost effective submersible without having to deal with clunky equipment or pesky regulations" to "we regret to inform you that 5 passengers including our CEO are sealed inside a death pod with very little chance of rescue" is absolutely haunting but is an outcome that you could have seen coming from miles away unlike the submersible due to a lack of safety features

The Ever Given’s Suez Canal Incident: A lighthearted, ridiculous accident. No risk of death or horrible traumas. Commentary on the unpleasantries of maritime trade, with a focus on the heroic efforts of a few tugboats and a lone excavator.

The Oceangate Submersible Incident: A ghoulish, morbidly funny disaster. A story of wealthy fools, paying a fortune to sit in a tin can powered by AA batteries. The victims are difficult to sympathize with, and the villain is not an uncaring force of nature, but free-thinking man, who should have prevented this mess. Truly a tragicomedy worthy of the Titanic.

also let's not act like if they somehow survive and get back to the surface they'll be changed people?? they won't learn anything from this experience. they'll just be back on their privileged, wealthy bullshit like nothing happened.

"oh they'll be so traumatized" so? they can afford all the therapy and meds in the world, they'll survive. I'm rawdogging life day in and day out because I can't afford the therapy I sorely need, I don't see anybody crying on my behalf

this isn't a Christmas Carol. the ghost of Christmas past won't swoop in and make these ebenezer-ass rich fucks see the error of their ways and realize the true meaning of life after such a close brush with death, they won't donate all their money to charity and spend the rest of their lives battling capitalism and its brutal oppression of the poor. they'll just throw another extremely lavish and unnecessary party and brag to everyone they know that they survived the trip to the rusty carcass of human hubris lounging at the bottom of the ocean. and don't get me started on the books and movie deals.

I saw zero posts about empathy for the people dead in the Mediterranean so fuck off with your virtue signaling for the five dumbasses in the sub

Some of you don't understand how billionaires make their money and it shows. Tumblr is like "eat the rich" until the rich literally get eaten.

I don't want anyone to die a pointless death but these people, by virtue of how wealth is amassed, have blood on their hands. I'm not the least bit upset that people are memeing on OceanGate and this completely absurd and avoidable situation.

It's sucks one of them is 19 but screaming about cruelty and empathy is pointless virtue signaling for the sake of trying to look like a soft-hearted empathetic person. That's not true empathy, that's a front.

Fuck it. Be ghoulish. Remember when assholes in NYC were drinking champagne on their balconies while people protested in the streets during the Occupy movement? Have any of the ruling class said anything empathetic about the bodies that litter our borders and seas?

We all know the billionaire class doesn't give a fuck about us. The rich chucklefuck Titanic tourists are part of the same population that consistently lobbies against protections for the poor and oppressed, healthcare access, labor regulations, etc.

At the end of the day, if I could wave a magic wand and save them, I would. Dead shitty humans are still humans. But I'm not at all upset that people feel a sense of ironic, comedic cosmic justice in this.

If you want to feel a self-righteous sense of piety by bitching at those of us who find this kinda funny, good luck with your white knight campaign. You look a bit like a clown though.

Cracking jokes about the tin can science fair death-tube isn't violence, it's morally neutral. We're frustrated and tired.
