THIS ONLY HAPPENS ONCE EVERY FEW YEARS, REBLOG WHILE YOU CAN

the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu

Blood is thicker than water The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Meaning that relationships formed by choice are stronger than those formed by birth.

Let’s not forget that “Jack of all trades, master of none” ends with “But better than a master of one.”

It means that being equally good/average at everything is much better than being perfect at one thing and sucking at everything else. So don’t worry if you’re not perfect at something you do! Being okay is better!

These made me feel better

Also, “great minds think alike” ends with “but fools rarely differ”

It goes to show that conformity isn’t always a good thing. And that just because more than one person has the same idea, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good idea.

what the fuck why haven’t i heard the full version to any of these 

“Birds of a feather flock together” ends with “until the cat comes.”

It’s actually a warning about fair-weather friends, not an assessment of how complementary people are.

I’ve always felt like these were cut down on purpose.

I really like these phrases and plan on spreading this knowledge.

The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I want to make designs out of these.

Funny how all the half-finished ones encourage uniformity and upholding the status-quo, while the complete proverbs encourage like…living exciting, eclectic lives driven by choice and personal passion.

NICE

The legendary thread is back

IT’S FUCKING BACK!!!!!!!!

This one is perfect for Tumblr: “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing…” ends with “drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again.”

So, it’s not that knowledge is dangerous, the emphasis is on having just a little knowledge.  Having just a cursory understanding of something causes overconfidence and potential to misunderstand, but when you really delve into a subject in depth you realize the full complexity of it.

Yeah these are DEFINITELY cut short for a reason, make no fucking mistake.

It’s very  nice already! The expressions are a big part of how you convey emotion to the audience, so it may be a good idea to focus on that as well! 

As for posing, you can emphasize energetic personalities by incorporating a lot of movement in the pose, and emphasize passive personalities by adding very little movement. 

Specifically, I changed the hands a lot. The angle between Callie’s hands is now more sharp than the angle between Marie’s hands. Callie’s hands are energetic and active, while Marie’s hands are “lazy” and delicate. 

Here’s another post for more tips on hands and how to structure them:

My art frequently gets 0 notes, am I valid?

This is the darkest timeline…

just saw a drug ad that included the disclaimer “may cause bone loss” and I’m fuckin cackling. not “bone density loss” just whole ass “bone loss”, like some incompetent dipshit wizard tried to heal your broken arm but doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing. y'all want some bone destroying juice

Oof ouch my bones just got thanosed

it ok to not be ready

Please spread this shit like wildfire. People go on and sit through the whole experience and they’re uncomfortable because they just want to please their partner and they don’t tell them that they want to stop because they are not ready. It’s okay not to be ready. 

notice here that consent is revoked without ever saying no and consent goes so far beyond yes/no!!!!!!

Make sure you and your partner are always communicating and on the same page, because if you give consent you can change your mind at any time.

this is my favorite comic on tumblr because the person initiating is the one stops it because the other person is uncomfortable and that’s just a fantastic message to spread.

And look this isn’t a “new relationship” or first time thing either, my partner and I have been together going on 9years and sometimes, usually due to my disabilities, I just lose the moment or something isn’t working and never once have they gotten mad about it even if I’m mad at myself.

But here’s the kicker, don’t just be with that person, be that person. Pay attention to your partner.

ive already reblogged this bUT

The guy On the right is MY UNCLE WHAT IN THE FUCK HAHAHAHAH

An update. He thinks he’s very funny

Me- I don’t wanna go to class today. I feel out of it

*classes is cancelled *

Me- God???? Is that you???

Me: I️ don’t want to go to work today

Boss:

(Looks like God’s got both our backs today)

Bless this day ❤️❤️❤️

I swear this post is blessed or something because I said “I want a reason to go somewhere” while looking at this post and then pretty much just after, my mother asked me to go to the store to get some eggs since I used the last 2

Reblog this post to get something you want

creepers been real quiet after this pic hit the TL

People need to realize that there’s a difference between straight people and Straight People™

Straight person: Hey, you got a new haircut. Looks really good.

Straight Person™: No homo, but your haircut looks good on you.

In case you were confused 👌

Just like how there are white people who are gay and then there are the White Gays

White people who are gay: “I’m gay.”

White Gays: “I can’t believe I got accused of racism after calling that person a racial slur! I mean, I know what racism looks like because I’ve been discriminated for my sexuality. How is me being racist even possible? I’M GAY!”

Lmao all the angry White and Straight people in the comments, keep reblogging

neurotypical: i don’t have any mental illnesses or disorders Neurotypical™: Happiness is a choice!! ✨✨Have you tried yoga? Drink more water and eat kale ✨✨

cis person: i identify completely as my assigned gender Cis Person™: It doesn’t matter what you identify as, cause you still have Female Genitals! I’m not being offensive!! Read a book on Human Biology! 🚹🚺

men: I identify as male.

Men™: feminazis ruin everything, get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich bitch

atheists: I don’t believe in god or identify with a religion

Atheists™: Don’t fucking talk to me if you believe in God. Open your closed-fucking-minds!! (usually targeted towards Christians)

nice guys: hey I know when not to invade someone’s space and I totally respect boundaries

Nice Guys™: IVE BEEN YOUR FRIEND FOR A MONTH AND NOW YOURE TELLING ME YOU DONT WANT TO FUCK ME ???? WHAT IS THE POINT OF WOMEN IF YOURE NOT HAVING SEX WITH ME?

this post got all kinds of better since I last saw it

This post is perfection across the board.

christians: i believe in God

Christians™: GOD IS THE ONLY GOD OH GOD IS THAT STAR A PENTAGRAM?!?!?!?!?! READ YOUR BIBLE EVERYDAY IF YOU DONT YOUVE FAILED ALSO IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME IN ANY WAY YOURE GONNA GO TO HELL CAUSE IM A CHRISTIAN AND IM EXEMPT FROM RULES CAUSE GOD SAID SO

gamers: I like video games

Gamers™: Video Games are Art and you can keep your political correctness bullshit right out of them! Anyway that female character CHOSE to dress that way!

This tumblr supports men who wear skirts and dresses. 

I love using “good catch”

I also say “thanks for the update” or “thanks for the head’s up!”

“I really appreciate the head’s up!” also a classic

If I haven’t gotten back to someone in a swift enough period (i.e. one work day max) I say “thank you for your patience. after some consideration, I have decided…”

don’t apologize for piddly things! 

thank you > sorry

I need to remember

thank you > sorry

Thank you for waiting for me > sorry for being late

Thank you for helping me/for your time/for listening to me > sorry for bothering you

Thanking someone when they do you a favour > apologizing for your existence

This is especially hard when you haven’t been taught that people need to respect your limits, but with a bit of practice you can absolutely get there!

Idc if you’re an anti transmed, a transmed, or you aren’t even in this discourse-

If you’re trans and you transition, I’m super happy for you. You wanted this for so long and you finally have it and I’m very proud of you. Transitioning sounds like a long and difficult process, and just know that I’m cheering you on with your transitioning (:

If you transition and find out that you actually aren’t trans and must detransiton, I’m also still proud of you. You’re still figuring yourself out just like everyone else. There are so many people who will support you still. You’re not a traitor or suddenly a bad guy. You just misunderstood your feelings and that’s fine!

Okay! so, i did this animation with the david rig I made in harmony for school. he’s a mostly functional rig that can still use a loooot of work and figuring out the lineart ordeal was a HUGE challenge. the animation could use work/revisions too and  i did a whole turnaround for him which u can see under the cut that i hope to one day refine!!

either way it was a fun project and the school year was rad as all hell

Keep reading

No of fence but if you’re gonna like. Draw a realistic portrait of an anime character who lives in japan and has a Japanese name you miiiiighhht wanna maybe, I don’t know, draw them with Japanese features?

ANOTHER ADDITION- this goes for most East Asians but don’t fuckin color their skin YELLOW its super offensive

using yellow undertones is okay (as seen in example) but don’t make them look like the Simpsons

ALSO! If you are gonna draw an Asian person with darker skin, don’t make them BLACK! Asian people can have darker skin, but make it REALISTIC!

Asian people are not black and they are not white. Don’t straight up bend their race.

hey im an asian (filipino) with family members that have dark skin and what you call “nonstereotypical asian features”, not to mention that im sure other asians, even not southeast ones, have dark skin esp including people who are mix. there are asians to have skin colors you call unrealistic.

whitening is a real thing within asian communities already, and for you to promote the idea that asians can have melanin as long as its “realistic” isnt helpful to us whatsoever

not to mention that the “dark” skin in the example isn’t actually very dark at all… and the “black” skin in the same picture isnt even close to realistic. thats just gray.

asian people can be dark! south asian and southeast asian people are often forgotten about! its really narrow minded to promote the idea that super pale chinese and japanese people are the only asians that are “real.” i’m also filipino, and while the original post + OP’s example were good, this “realistic” darkness thing is super stereotypical, and quite frankly, kinda racist.

these are all realistic asian skintones. there are also asian people who are darker than this. pale east asians arent the only asians who exist. normalize this.

FANTASTIC ADDITION

#‘ALSO! If you are gonna draw an Asian person with darker skin#don’t make them BLACK!’ HEY WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU

‘Asian people arent black’ ummmm Black Asian people are a thing they are called Blasian actually…

HONESTLY.
