Hello! this blog is now a reblog place, for stories go to my other accounts 'nanatsunoblog' for the seven deadly sins. 'crafting-tenno' for warframe. For now however, enjoy the occasional story I may post.

i’m so upset

I just realized that the reason ghosts say Boo! is because it’s a latin verb

they’re literally saying ‘I alarm/I am alarming/I do alarm!!

I can’t

present active boōpresent infinitive boāreperfect active boāvīsupine boātum

Recte!

if it comes from the latin word, they’re actually saying “I’M YELLING!” which is even cuter

do they speak latin because it’s a dead language

When you deliberately try to stop using “said” XD

  I re-blogged this (the first time) in 2014. Today, I tried half a dozen times to re-blog it, and it wouldn’t work. So, I saved the images and re-posted it. I hope it helps make life a little easier. :-)   The original post is by iraffiruse.

Long but cool as hell.

I’ve been using these tips for ten years and not one has failed me.

remember when “lifehacks” were useful?

goodnight :)

Fuck brb tearing up a little

(image id: 5 gifs stacked vertically. they all have a black background, white border, and white text, all of which look like they could have been sketched and are shifting slightly. the first gif reads "hey,". the second, "you did a lot today". the third, "time to rest, it's okay". the fourth, "you did good today". the fifth, "you're okay". /end id)

A comic to try and sort through some difficult feelings about being an artist and a reminder to not forget who you are.

You know what’s some crazy $hit?

This fabulous bitch

She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense).  I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen.  Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs

or for full on fight sequences

or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.  

this bitch hooked me up.  

And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like

or this

or this

DUDE!  INASNE SHIT!!  So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash.  Lemme dole it out for her.  BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!!  This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.  

I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock.  You’re worth it.  

Check out this amazing woman’s stuff, and get knowledged:  https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock

I have been following her for years on deviantart.

Highly reccomend checking her out. She’s the best. If I had any money to throw I’d throw it at her for providing such a big help in my life.

This hero doesn’t wear capes, she instead wears (and looks utterly flawless) in tank tops(?)

Interrupting my regular Star Wars BS to reblog this because @senshistock is amazing and beyond worth the follow and support!  I first started using her refs gosh I want to say back in maybe 2008, and I’m happy to be a supporter of her over on Patreon.  If you’re an artist please go find her stuff on all the platforms, you will not regret it!

Yessss, she is so awesome! Been following her for years. My favorite stock artist is jademacalla, who is, incidentally, in the last two images above. He has a lot of great angles, costumes, gear, etc! I love his hands, too.

rb to save an artists life

Just so everyone knows, she recently stopped using the name SenshiStock and switched to AdorkaStock! All her links and socials have switched to that. Also she has a TikTok of her doing the poses live, which is stupid useful because you can pause it at any point in the pose for just the right reference.

Literally just used a Adorkastock reference the other night, god bless them

Also a reminder that Adorkastock Sketch exists, which is essentially timed poses to draw (including a class mode, that replicates a life drawing session), which you can even filter to focus on what you need to work on.

“wow you blocked me just cuz i disagreed with you???”

yes. yes, exactly. this is a social media site. i come here to look at pictures of birds and shitpost with my friends. this is not a town hall meeting; i am not your elected official. i do not owe you my energy, my space, or my time. you and i are strangers that use the same website. i can block you for literally any reason and that’s okay. take a deep breath. block me too. you’ll feel better.

Saw someone refer to Cartoon Saloon as the Irish Studio Ghibli and…

Yes. Yes it is. Seriously, watch their films if you have not had the pleasure already. Whether it’s the Irish Mythology trilogy

Or The Breadwinner, and upcoming ‘My Father’s Dragon’ with Netflix.

Watch these films. They are masterpieces of modern animation and innovation. I did my first film final on ‘The Breadwinner’ and have no regrets.

Man I love their films so much, always excited to see what they have planned next. Also not enough people talk about The Breadwinner, seriously go watch it XD I remember reading the book when I was in elementary school so the movie was like a throwback
