Woke up at 2am and couldn’t fall back asleep so I made a tutorial on the Photoshop techniques I use most frequently. Starting with the sketch:

  • adjustment layers: specifically the hue/saturation slider in this case, allows you to color correct quickly
  • lasso tool: for sharp edges!
  • alpha lock: useful for painting within a pre-defined area (especially useful when painting characters)
  • x (hotkey) : toggle between foreground + background colors- let’s you easily blend between 2 colors
  • ctrl/cmd click : quickly change current active layer. Especially useful if you’re burdened with too many layers (or just very disorganized)
  • clipping mask: similar to alpha lock, but can add details without changing/ painting directly on the previous layer. I often use them to test out + apply gradients.
  • layer styles: I didn’t use any in this image, but the possibilities for layer styles endless, from simply adding a quick outline (useful for die cut demarcations when making stickers!) to creating more seemingly complex appearances. Here’s a gif of Nick Carver using layer styles (a combo of drop shadows + inner shadows) to quickly make the illusion of snow but with simple strokes.

if you’ve seen the breaking news that trump just signed an executive order today to end the family separation policy here’s some quick info to keep things in perspective

  • this doesn’t end the “zero tolerance” policy of prosecuting anyone who crosses the border “illegally” 
  • the only thing this changes is that going forward, entire families will be detained together while awaiting prosecution 
  • this offers no solution for freeing the thousands of children currently held in ICE child prisons or any path to reuniting them with their families 
  • children will still be detained and treated as criminals
  • this will likely lead to thousands of families being held in ICE facilities and tent cities that will face the exact same issues of overcrowding, abuse, and inhumane conditions that exist in the child prisons

this is not a victory or a solution. This is the administration trying to cover their asses and avoid any more public outrage. They want people to see this as the end of the news story and go back to their lives. They want people to forget the thousands of children they are still keeping in cages in ICE facilities across the nation. This issue is not over and we cannot stop being outraged until we are given proof that the thousands of kidnapped children are returned to their families, and that the policy of arresting and prosecuting people who cross the border is ended. 

America is the world’s largest terrorist state.

Up to 200 children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border are being held in this tent city outside Tornillo, Texas:

I’m aware that this is technically getting revoked now but America deserves to have this rubbed in our face like a dog that shit on the carpet

Update: Sauron is not afraid of hobbits. He was unaware that hobbits existed up until very recently.  he literally did not have time to be afraid of them, they went from a 0 to 100 threat level in twenty seconds. There he was, minding his own business worrying about the usual Elves and Men when suddenly these kids are on his lawn and now he’s dead, like just; 

What did— who– 

did I just get one-shotted by an infant how is this occurring 

Honestly I have to love this whole thought process that the Fellowship must have cultivated in Sauron, like…

“These children have found the Ring! But they’re taking it to the elves, of course. I will simply have to catch them on the way.”

“Well, the elves are still not to be trifled with, it seems. It looks as though they have a group of intrepid heroes, how cute! Wait, who’s leading them? Aw, hell.”

“OKAY! Olorin’s out of the way, and now I can finally kill them all and reclaim the- OH DAMMIT, IT’S IN LOTHLORIEN.”

“Well, okay. They’ve taken it onward. Curunir says one of the halflings is still carrying the ring, so he’s going to capture them and we’ll see how this develops. Thankfully Olorin’s still out of the picture and their little group just shattered into pieces, so that’s one less thing to worry about.”

“Aaaaaand Curunir shat the bed. Excellent. Trees, who would have thought? Okay, so we’re back to plan A: conquer Gondor, because if the Ring’s going to be anywhere, it’ll be there.”

“Wait, who’s on the– Isildur’s WHAT? Ohhhh. Ohohoho. Oh now everything makes sense. Isildur’s Heir is back, and he’s here being all prideful again. That’s fine. Really. I’ll just crush him and his kingdom, and then nobody can stop me!”

“WHAT? FUCKING WHAT? THEY SENT HIM BACK? Ugh, alright, alright, I’m cool, I’m fine. He’s still got that stupid wizard costume on, and I’m still stronger than he ever was. It’s not like he can come toe to toe with me, even if he does have an army behind him. This’ll be fine.”

“They’re… actually marching on the Black Gate? Sweet lord, I didn’t think they’d actually do it! This is perfect, everyone’s right here! Olorin, the human princeling, most of the remaining fighting forces of Men, all I have to do is kill them now and– Wait. Someone just put on the Ring. Someone just– That’s a halfling. They’re inside the mouNTAIN OH GOD NAZGUL GO GO G–”

…aaaaaand curtain.

you can laugh but that is literally what happened

This is the single best brief summary I have ever seen of the entire point of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

i started seeing screenshots of tumblr users receiving messages from a blog called “sexygirlmax2019”

this is, of course, standard on tumblr, to receive porn bot messages

checking the timestamps, all of sexygirlmax2019’s posts have been made today they’re formatted impeccably like bot messages and posts but they’re just a little off

this isn’t a bot this is a human controlling a blog acting like a bot all of the links?? aren’t porn links mysterious bit.ly links to this site: https://max2019.neocities.org/ if you “click here to instantly transport” you get taken to > /seraphim.html if you click it again > /cherubim.html again > /thrones.html …which returns a “Page Not Found” error

So I ran the mp3 you could get from /cherubim.html through a sstv scanner and got this back

Which is just straight up the image from /seraphim.html.

But the it’s weird, when I went back to /cherubim.html the page changed from a picture and an mp3 download to this:

And when I clicked on that I was taken to /firstsphere/thrones.html which looked like this:

When I clicked on THAT I was taken to /secondsphere/dominions.html and greeted to this disturbing image:

The last eye was apparently clickable which took me to /secondsphere/powers.html which looked like this:

the text on it reads: “H.U.R.L

Hierarchy of Uniform Resource Locators”

??????????

So /dominions.html just changed to this:

and /powers.html changed to:

BUT since making this update, the file for the image is no longer there! So it looks like:

Clicking on the (now missing) picture, it takes you to /secondsphere/light1.html which looks like:

Clicking that takes you to /secondsphere/light2.html, whick looks like how /powers.html looks:

Clicking that takes you back to /secondsphere/light1.html, which has JUST NOW gotten worse:

/secondsphere/light2.html now has the same image as  /secondsphere/light1.html but it now takes you to /secondsphere/light3.html which looks like:

which takes you to /secondsphere/virtues.html which is currently blank.

/secondsphere/virtues.html updated and now looks like:

Clicking on the image currently takes you to /thirdsphere/principalities.html which looks like:

The text reads “Struggle with thy doubts! Cast them aside! Forsake not thy faith! Sickness will not take thee!”

and the image is a gif titled wrestling

the next page is titled /archangels.html; currently blank

okay this site is going to be constantly updating for a bit, so i’ll wait like a day or so and report back on this.

Hey This is the frame that flashes through /thirdsphere/archangels

i absolutely cannot stop messing with these images trying to find some kind of hidden code

btw a “uniform resource locater” is a URL. hurl stands for “hierarchy of URLs which, actually, is exactly what this site seems to be, as the subdivision of sections seems to be in hierarchical order of angels

also:

/thirdsphere/angels.html ’s tab is called “found you”

this is the version of the post going around with the most information i can find so far.

i’ll be continuing to reblog various versions of this post that contain different information.

if anyone in the notes would like to contribute further, sending submissions of info to this blog could be a great way to have all of our info centered in one place!

clicking the image on archangel now leads to a tumblr…blog…? https://lovely5500.tumblr.com

Seems to be about a girl getting flooded with messages about this arg… lotsa text corruption… and then we have a blog sending her an ask themed after the site. it seems to have sent something personal in an ask we dont see

im gonna check out that blog next

It’s currently a blog with nothing on it. So I’ll keep digging on lovely5500

EDIT: not much there, I suspect we’ll see https://deathafteru-blog.tumblr.com change soon enough

Looked into enricks like other suggested, did the digging they did… then i clicked bypass login at the bottom of the enricks page…

Y’all

I don’t want to click that.

the video has a number code in it that translates to “evident agenda”. i’m not sure what that means.

ALSLFLGLHLLJK I STARTED OVERWATCH UP AND WHEN I SWITCHED TO THE WINDOW THIS IS ALL THAT WAS GREETIBG ME. THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST FOREBODING IMAGE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE

“Mom said it’s my turn to use the computer”

Assassin’s Creed’s premise is literally “history is inaccurate and was rewritten by the Templars” and the titular creed is “Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.” but suddenly diehard AC fans are incredibly angry at a female Greek warrior…because they think it’s untrue (even though there were female Greek warriors) and wouldn’t have been permitted.

Yup, this is totally about historical accuracy and not misogyny at all.

Do you ever see a post that you agree with on some level, but it’s worded in an aggressive and mean-spirited way, so you’re just kind of

If you’re interested in learning more, Intercepted did a podcast abt her here. She got arrested some 5 minutes after they posted something leaked anonymously, and due to the case being filed under the Espionage Act, she’s not allowed to even really present her case to a jury in any meaningful way. It’s fucked and needs to be talked about more
