I'm a "multiple interpretations of a character are valid" person until I see an interpretation that explicitly contradicts canon and then I start chewing on the drywall.
Me: "they are fictional characters and you can have whatever thoughts or interpretations you like! You may be close to the creators intent, you may not! What does it matter! There is joy in the exploration alone"
Also me: blorbo would not fucking say that
“This character is multi-faceted and has many valid interpretations of them, but there are also aspects of them that are so set in stone that if you take them away, you’re basically talking about a totally different character.”

I want that pencil, so highly pigmented and gorgeous.
I feel like the only person not tempted to use ChatGPT like it doesn't even occur to me as an option
Anyway shoutout to the person next to me who just got GPT to do their whole essay. I know you're in the trenches.
HELLO ??????
He asked ChatGPT if it was lying to him and it said no so he figured he was in the clear.

its not funny how chips and salsa can never sate your hunger for chips and salsa. you just keep eating and eating and it doesnt stop until the chips or salsa is depleted. i theorize one could eat chips and salsa forever
Sure you're "child free" now. But in 20 years when your riches are vast and you rule with an iron fist you're gonna feel real fucking embarrassed when you're ready to be usurped and the only guy scheming enough to poison your wine Is a weird cousin with vague familial connections instead of your flesh and blood idiot son that wants the throne a few years sooner
one of the strangest social dynamics on this website is how there will consistently be one or two kinks/fetishes that are considered trendy to post about, and users who are otherwise very averse to being openly horny on main go wild reblogging posts about petplay or knotting or the eroticism of the machine or whatever erotic interest is currently This Year's Trendiest Kink.
idk when we decided that explaining yourself shouldn't be part of an apology but like. if someone was a dick to me and apologizes but I still don't understand why they did it I'm not gonna feel any better
"Sorry for hurting your feelings earlier. I was trying to say x, but I guess it came across wrong. I don't think you're stupid."
or
"Sorry I snapped at you. I didn't get enough sleep last night so my patience is a little low today."
is a better apology than
"I want you to know that I am sorry that my actions offended you. I take full accountability for my actions and I am listening and learning. I hear you."

just kendall seeing roman in distress and immediately knowing what he needs telling him he loves him while pressing his shoulder into his wounds loving him and holding him so tight and making him bleed and it’s just what he needs i’m going to die
“at what moment does the knife wound sink so deep that the flesh begins to weep with love?” “love opened a mortal wound. in agony, i worked the blade to make it deeper” ETC ETC ETC
Looking at Pinterest drawing tutorials to make myself angrier and more full of rage
Much has been said about unrealistic female anatomy, but is it not even more bizarre and fucking terrible that <90% of generic male drawing tutorials show some kind of monstrous aftermath of bodybuilding, steroids and extreme dehydration and are like "this is a basic male torso"
In the nicest way possible, if you see this as "basic" male anatomy and all other possibilities as variations on this, your art will be Not Good except in circumstances of dumb luck
99% of men Do Not look like this, ever, at all, and out of those that ever do, they Do Not look like this 99% of the time.
Abs don't appear defined unless you're tensing and flexing your whole abdomen, and they don't appear that defined unless you're unhealthily dehydrated. You don't get abs like that in the first place unless you're doing intense workouts, dumping protein in everything you eat, and probably restricting food unhealthily specifically to get that kind of look
But it's not a problem just because it's unrealistic, it's a problem because it betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of what muscle is and does.
Like, drawing bodies in dynamic poses is not going to be very fun for you if you don't get that muscle is squishy when relaxed and you're imagining it as this tough, stiff pulley system
like, if you look at renaissance and baroque paintings of men, which were painted by masters of anatomy who did intensive studies including disections to learn how to depict the male body, the men in those paintings and sculptures DONT look like the above. they almost never have defined abs.
for instance, if you look at rubens abduction of ganymede,
an idealised figure of a man who is meant to be very attractive. hes literally ganymede! but not only does he not have abs, you can see rolls of fat where his trunk bends. his arms are clearly muscular but the dehydrating looking hyperdefinition is clearly lacking. below is michelangelo, who specialized in painting extremely muscular men and did more dissections than the average doctor (apologies for image quality but it shows my point)
so yeah please dont learn to draw men from tutorials that look like that. learn it from secret pope-sanctioned dissections
