does anyone know if i can like block sites from appearing in my google images searches??? i keep getting those awful ai generated things with a hand coming out of a man's neck and just straight up not what i was looking for, because this was in a search for "curly hair in medieval paintings". it happens every time i search for anything vaguely art-reference-like and it's so fucking annoying and it clutters my search results so much. i don't wanna add specific commands to the query every time too, what i need is like a browser extension or something
okay i found one! it works! everyone come get your blacklist 👍👍👍
the ninth doctor was lowkey so under appreciated. he was the perfect combination of rascal (mostly) benevolent god and slut
imo he was the most considerate doctor, who was the most aware of his power and the people he was capable of hurting. he was cynical and moody and war worn but he cared so deeply. he loved knowing he’d lose. he kissed a servant girl on the forehead that sacrificed herself who no one would remember except for him and rose. and at the same time a right bastard <3
The contrast between Nine's absolute glee in, "Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once, everybody lives!" and the cold self-recognition of loathing in his "Only a killer would know that" dinner with the Slitheen leader. Eccleston was so good.
pro tip: if you're ever drawing your ocs in drag, you need to use the Queen metric to make sure you're getting it right. optimal success happens when two of your characters are obviously doing it for a joke, one is clearly in drag but still looks amazing, and one is indistinguishable from the average beautiful woman/man
it needs to look like this.
Nearly two decades later, I think it just fully hit me why Iroh told Zuko's crew about how he got his scar. It wasn't just to say, "Have some sympathy for him, he had a hard childhood." It was because the crew were all upset (rightfully so) that Zuko had said, "The safety of the crew doesn't matter." and Iroh was trying to point out that, yes, what Zuko had said was wrong, but that's not what he really thinks, at least, that's not what he used to think. There was a time when Zuko cared about the safety of soldiers he had never even met, so much so that he spoke out of turn, which is what led to the domino effect that caused all of them to be sitting on that ship together. And this is brought full-circle when Zuko climbs the ladder to help the helmsman at the end of the episode. And that's when the crew realizes that, temperament aside, Zuko actually has been and is still willing to put everything on the line for the safety of others.
The funny part about the "I'm not going to coddle my kids, the real world isn't going to be nice to them" kind of people is that once their kids are grown and out of the house, they spend years being continuously astonished to learn that people as cold and mean as their parents are actually extremely rare.
Some people have been interested in how this was made - I am extremely bad at explaining but I’ll try to give a quick rundown!
First I draw the individual parts in a 2d art program, in this case procreate. I put an overlay texture that gives it some grittiness. As you can see I separated out the parts I planned to move a little bit, like the top and bottom jaw, eyes, wings, and body segments.
Each part of the texture is applied to a 2d plane through uv maps with the exception of the halo, which is 3d modeled.
The 2d planes are layered in a way that will create shadow when a light is added and avoid overlaps when rendered. This also really lends to the papercut aspect!
Animation for this particular piece is done through something called “shape keys” where blender will interpolate movement based on me slightly moving the individual parts.
I created several keys for different areas of motion. When all are combined it creates a nice effect. Some parts move smoother than others - this is due to me setting some keys to be “constant” instead of “bezier smoothed”.
(Oh also the halo is just rotated on an axis - 3d go brrrrr)
After rendering all the frames into a gif, I then threw it into a video editor to make the colors more contrasted and to add slight glitching and behold! Final product!
Hopefully that helps out some for people who want to try it. Or for people who are just curious!
can someone convince all the japanese eva artists to start posting on tumblr as well LOL
i don't want to miss out on seeing their art, but i never fucking want to open twitter again 😭
One thing about researching world around you is that it becomes a bit friendlier once you know it better. If you see a random spider- you get scared. You see plants and consider them just weeds. You look at night sky and see a bunch of stars.
And then, you learn names.
Now, it is an orbweaver, and you consider them a friend. The greenery around is a laurel, or an alium, or osmanthus, and you know which of them to keep away from, and which of them are great herbs for tea. Now, you look up and see a whole parade of Venus, Ursa Major, or Orion. You now know their names, and, if you respect them- they become allies of yours.

got fully locked out of youtube for Using Adblocker crimes today (got a pop-up saying I'd be locked out after 3 videos and then the video player locked down) and after some experimentation discovered that switching to my old YouTube profile that wasn't created via a Google account has bypassed it.
i DON'T know if this has anything to do w the origins of the account or if it's just that they're not rolling the new features out to all accounts at once and I've found a loophole so ig we'll see how long this works for!!
this is what i've learned so far:
it initially presents as a dismissable popup saying that adblockers will shortly no longer be allowed & then after a while you get the 'three more videos and the player will be blocked' message followed by the player locking down.
the filters in this post no longer work
YouTube is rolling out the new measures gradually so if you haven't had any issues it's likely to be bcos it hasn't hit your account yet; comments along the lines of 'i used this browser + adblock combo' are therefore not very helpful.
if using uBlock you seem to be able to bypass it by logging out but this does have the downside of having to use YouTube logged out. it apparently also works in private browsing mode.
I posted the above workaround in a reddit thread on the subject and someone else confirmed that making a new account worked for them.
I'm HOPING that someone will come up with a permanent workaround before it hits my old account but given how aggressive this seems to be I'm afraid this might be the thing that makes me finally bite the bullet and switch to spotify :(
switching over to my old account HAS broken my recommendations but less so than logging out altogether so could be worse!!
ok further research conducted, the following adblockers are defo detected:
ublock origin
adblock plus
total adblock
adblock
ghostery
adblocker for youtube
adblocker ultimate
adguard adblocker
according to comments seen on reddit the following can also trip it:
enhancer for youtube
vivaldi built in adblocker
i am currently having success with an extension called adlock but it's not proving very effective.
ETA: i use firefox + ublock origin; i've seen a number of people speculating that it's a chrome or chromium issue and sad to say it is not :(

‘Autistics always love talking to other autistics, it’s always effortless for autistics to communicate with eachother’ stop!
telling!
lies!
Autistics are, basically, min-maxed relative to allistics. That means we do often get along with eachother EXTREMELY well and quickly, like, to an extent that wouldn’t make sense to allistics- but it ALSO means that when we don’t get along, that’s fucking it. We’re magnets. We either attract or repel, and fucking Nothing will change how we react to eachother after that
Two incompatible autistics are like two male betta fish in a teacup. Peace Was Never An Option
Any autist saying ‘that’s not true’ 100% guarantee hasn’t spent enough time with a variety of other autistics lmao
