Quick lineart extraction tutorial!
The program used in this example is Firealpaca, but as far as I know these type of settings exist in most basic art programs (firealpaca is like the most basic of all anyway lmao). I dont own a scanner so a lot of the time I simply take a photo of the drawing with my phone, cleaning and extracting the lines still only takes a few minutes! Hope this is helpful :)
I haven’t listened to the audio, because it’s too perfect seeing characters emotionally move their mouth with tears while being completely silent.

i learned of “Box beds” – cabinets with beds in them and, sometimes, lockable doors – were used for privacy and safety in parts of rural medieval Europe before individual bedrooms were common. They became fashionable even in homes with bedrooms and remained in use in Scotland into the 1900s (x)

Picture this, you're stressed out because Covid and climate change finds you out of a job and now you can't pay for dental work so as you listen to the hold music to the dental clinic to cancel your wisdom teeth surgery you log into tumblr to calm your nerves only to be greeted by a Destiel meme informing you that the word flashing is banned and you realise fellow tumblr users can't use a warning for post that could trigger your epilepsy. Imagine this, you're now afraid and there's nothing you can do, no tag to filter out, no warning to safe you.
So cool
Chinese artist Zhang Xiangxi creates these incredible miniature replicas of rooms inside the shells of discarded vintage TV sets. His attention to detail, when recreating a train car or a luxury apartment, might fool you into thinking you are waiting for a TV show to start, but in reality you are looking at his intricate set designs that aim to capture reality inside a TV.

New moon rituals are about starting fresh. As the new moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, it is primed for self-reflection, goal setting, and healing. This is the time to create habits, start projects, or initiate life changes. Utilize the new moon’s fresh energy, priming you to start something new. Liberate your most authentic self, address and reset boundaries, set intentions for what you want to see manifest in the coming cycle. We can now call our shadow forward on the darkest of nights and shine our light into those darkest parts of ourselves. During the new moon, the sun and the moon share the same zodiac house which provides a concentrated dose of that signs archetype. Remember, the new moon is a time to: Stop, assess, maneuver. Breathe life into your goals, your ideas, your intentions. The new moon can bring additional energy and clarity to these activities, though it is not recommended to give up something you care about or give time to energy-vacuums. While ridding your life of negative energies, stopping bad habits, and setting aside unhelpful patterns, the new moon is about beginning, about inviting new experiences. This can be looked at as approaching the new cycle from a strengths-based angle. Looking to exit a toxic relationship? The new moon is the time to focus on healing and manifesting personal strength. The full moon could be more apt for banishing negativity, releasing the unwanted. Utilize the power of shining your light into your darkness and focus on what you can grow and achieve. Now is the time to accept the unexpected invitations. Below are some of my focuses during the new moon, followed by a process for a ritual with a healing spell. - Intention setting: Intentions should be clear and specific. Try creating a mantra for this moon cycle. The goal of setting intentions is to inform the universe of your aspirations and utilize that to keep yourself focused. Intentions can center on what you want to see manifest during this moon cycle. - Candles and the magic of light: While the moon is all but invisible to our eyes, this is a time to begin looking again for the brightness, i.e. bring light into your life. Candles are a wonderful way to ask the universe for clarification, shine a light into the darkness. - Meditate/yoga Prepare for the upcoming cycle by healing and focusing yourself. For Healing and Moving Forward Gather yourself (or with your coven). Sit in stillness and stop. Stretch, meditate, and do some centering yoga. You’re starting into a new, fresh lunar cycle. Feel free to set a protection circle around yourselves to ascertain that no negative energies permeate into your healing. As your mind clears, I like to do tarot readings or oracle cards to highlight what I/we need in order to heal and focus during this cycle. Discuss and develop your mantras and intentions as you each are comfortable (or on your own, be your light witch!). Your mantra is growing clearer in your mind and it is time to charge your new moon candle with it. Invite the light of healing and growth into your life. Having rested, stopped, stretched, and assessed where you need to be, it is now time to maneuver. Find herbs or oils that reflect your need/intention, coat your hands and hold your candle before your heart. Repeat your mantra three times, taking a deep breath before each repetition. Light your candle. If you need additional healing, this can be accompanied by a c

since i can’t thank you enough for all the love, support, fanarts, and fanfics for these two
So, your landlord/parents/home inspector/favorite movie star is dropping by, and your place is a disaster. You don’t have much time to clean it up. You’re in emergency mode. Let’s get started.
Don’t panic. Panic leads to fear, fear leads to procrastination, procrastination leads to the dark side. You can do this, but you have to stay calm.
Unlike maintenance cleaning, we’re not looking to completely unfuck one space at a time. Instead, we want to decrease the overall mess in stages, spread evenly across the whole area that we’re concerned about. If you think your home is at Level 10 filth, we want to bring the whole thing down to a Level 9, and then down from there. One really clean spot in an otherwise messy home is not going to be helpful here.
Get prepared. You’ll want to shut the computer down (or turn the modem off if you need your computer to play music). Trust me. Get your music going. Gather up trash bags, your vacuum and mop, some rags or paper towel, sponges, and other cleaning supplies. Use what you have on hand. Don’t get distracted running to the store and spending an hour browsing cleaning supplies. A multi-purpose cleaning concentrate or a jug of vinegar will be just fine.
Breaks are very important. Depending on your time constraints, work in 20/10s (20 minutes working, 10-minute break) or 45/15s. But take breaks because otherwise you’re marathoning, and marathon cleaning is no one’s friend. Keep hydrated, don’t forget to eat, and check in with yourself frequently to make sure you’re physically doing OK.
Make your bed. This will be your home base if you get overwhelmed or need somewhere clear to take a break.
Start with the garbage. Going from room to room, throw out anything that is obvious trash. Once you fill a bag, take it out. Repeat as many times as necessary.
Move on to dishes. Gather the dishes from all over your house and bring them to the kitchen. If you can, start them soaking in a sink of hot, soapy water or start loading the dishwasher. After the dishes are all in one place, spend one 20/10 getting started getting them under control.
Now it’s time for your flat surfaces. Countertops, tables, dresser tops, etc. Clear them off and wipe them down. Don’t get distracted in too much sorting and organizing. We’re in crisis mode here. There will be time to get in-depth once this is all done. The same applies to cabinets and closets. Unless you have reason to believe people will be opening closed doors, leave these alone for now.
Attack the floordrobe and shoe pile. Get your clothes either put away or in the hamper. Start a load of laundry if you need to, but keep in mind that laundry and dishes have three steps: wash, dry, and put it away, goddammit!
Get random stuff up off the floors. If something is trash-worthy, throw it away now rather than just move it around a bunch of times. Otherwise, put stuff where it belongs.
Take another 20/10 or 45/15 to catch up on more dishes, if needed.
Head into the bathroom. Pour some cleaner in the toilet bowl, fill the sink with hot water and cleaner, and either spray the tub and shower with cleaner, or fill the tub up with some hot water and add cleaner and let it soak. Put everything away that’s out and shouldn’t be, clean the mirror, counters, and toilet seat. Sweep or dry mop the floor. Wipe down the sink and tub/shower, and give the toilet bowl a scrub. Mop the floor.
Sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Vacuum everything you can, and sweep everything you can’t.
Walk outside of your house (don’t lock yourself out, please). Walk back in and see what catches your eye first. Go and deal with that.
If you’re being inspected or your landlord is coming in for repairs, spend time on whatever area they’ll be focusing on.
Give the whole place one more once-over and pay attention to anything you’ve missed so far.
It’s an old trick, but if your place is a little funky-smelling, put a pan of water on the stove on low heat and add some citrus or cinnamon or vanilla. Don’t leave it unattended or forget about it.
Take a shower, put on something clean, and eat something.
You can do this. It’s overwhelming, yes, but it is not impossible. You just need to do it. You have a list. You have directions. You have a whole bunch of Internet strangers who have been there before and who are cheering you on. You can do this, but you need to get started.
Why are you still here? GO. START. NOW.

okay okay hear me out,, so for some godforsaken reason mute writer-reader (female or neutral) has managed to capture Michael’s heart, how would he go about with it? (there’s a follow up to this :)))
Warning(s) ! ! !: NONE ITS JUST F LUFF DAMN
Before dating
∆ He had cornered you in a trailer your family had rented for the summer and stepped on your foot
∆ Of course, you scream but when you start to plead with him not to kill you—you make no noise
∆ He tilts his head in confusion, like yea he had met people who couldn’t speak like himself when he was in the asylum but not outside of that
∆ In a way, he kinda feels pity for you but that doesn’t stop him fucking crushing your foot
∆ He finally realizes that he was still crushing your foot he stops
∆ To your surprise, he actually leaves without harming you anymore
∆ You look out of one of the small windows to see him walking into the dark woods before disappearing completely into the night
∆ The next day you play off the fact your foot is broken to your parents, claiming a car ran it over
∆ They don’t really believe you when they take you to the doctor to see that there are several fractions in the bone but they don’t press into it
∆ You get a cool cast, which your younger brother, Luke, loved to color with pictures of butterflies
∆ When you go outside with Luke Michael sees the damage of your foot which makes him feel a hint of guilt
∆ So to try to say sorry to you he gives you gifts almost every day
∆ the first gift was a gold bracelet that he had gotten from one of his victims
∆ The last gift he tried to give you is a baseball cap that he thought would fit your aesthetic
∆ But when you see it the next morning you see the blood stains on it, alerting you to who has been giving you all these gives
∆ You scrub and wash what you can of the blood away before giving it to Luke
∆ That hat actually saves him
∆ Luke was down by a creek with a few of the local redneck boys he had made friends with when Michael was stalking all 4 of them
∆ He was planning to kill all of them when he saw the cap through the slits of his mask, alerting him that was your brother
∆ Luke leaves the group when dusk comes while walking back to the trailer a wild mutt
∆ Michael ends up killing it, crushing it by the neck
∆ Luke is more fascinated than scared of him
∆ “Hey! That’s a cool mask!”
∆ He pulls on the giant 6'8 man all the way to the trailer to show you who saved him
∆ You’re making sloppy joes when he comes home
∆ you’re wearing the bracelet which he smiles at under the mask
∆ Yea, you’re kinda scared with Luke being so close to him but you offer him a plate
∆ Luke basically forces him to take a plate with his puppy eyes
∆ It’s kinda awkward for him to eat but he ends up pulling the mask only above his mouth
∆ Since you can’t talk Luke is the one to talk
∆ When Luke finally gets tired you tuck him into bed
∆ As you come back to the living room you see the giant figure is gone
∆ But at least he washed the dishes
∆ You leave a note with a jar of fireflies saying that he is welcomed to come back tomorrow for dinner as well
∆ The next day finally rolls around and when one knock hits the metal door Luke is the first one to open it
∆ “Y/N! Mr. Mask man is back!”
∆ While you weren’t expecting him to be over so quickly Luke quickly pulls him aside to look at his drawings
∆ You chuckle at the sight of what was in the living room, a mass murder sitting on the ground with an 8-year-old showing him crayon doodles
∆ You fucking burn the turkey
∆ You picked a turkey just the flex didn’t you smh
∆ You end up serving pork and beans
∆ Which is actually Michael’s favorite as it was served in the asylum on special days (His birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc)
∆ The same thing happens as the day before except you are able to catch before he leaves
∆ In a desperate attempt to speak to him you rip a corner of Luke’s sketchbook, quicky writing something and shoving it in his hand before shutting the door
∆ He opens it to see your small neat handwriting ‘I forgive you’
Once dating
♡ Since he can only come over when your parents are out and can’t go into the small town together, the two of you meet up and hang out in random parts of the wilderness that he finds safe for you
♡ Your favorite place is a small hill that overlooks a small river
♡ it’s also your favorite place because that was where he finally showed you his face
♡ Holy shit is he fucking gentle with you
♡ Like he won’t even let you walk while you have the cast on
♡ And the kisses
♡ God the kisses feel like a ghost’s due to how soft both his lips and gentle he is
♡ He basically is Luke’s older and COOLER sibling
♡ “Not to be mean or anything Y/N but Michael is kinda cooler than you, I mean he strangled a dog with his bare hand!”
♡ Since your parents rarely leave anymore because Luke almost got bit by a rattlesnake the two of you mostly cuddle outside when the weather is nice
♡ And oh boy does he not let you go when he wants to cuddle
♡ When the locals won’t leave you alone, you bet your ass they’ll be the next missing person case
♡ But when the summer days start to wind down to less than a week you can see him getting more anxious
♡ It gets even worse when he sees back to school flyers
♡ When you look in his eyes you know how much he’ll be hurt when your family leaves
♡ He tries several times to show you that if you stay with him he’ll be able to support both of you
♡ But you know that this was just a summer fling, love this great doesn’t last forever
♡ When your family finally leaves you don’t even tell him due to fear of how he’ll react
♡ When he comes to the trailer he doesn’t see your car, making him panic
♡ He searches the whole trailer, flipping shit and checking every inch
♡ When the realization finally hits him he just sits on the ground
♡ He doesn’t cry but his heart still feels ripped out

As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.
The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive. Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down.
Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.
Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.
(x)
This doesn’t just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesn’t belong to us will be filtered. Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission. But it goes even further than that.
Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Baker…) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:
“As creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.
But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. […] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.”
Here is the original Article 13. It’s even scarier. / Link 2
Here is how to contact your MEPs.
Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.
don’t go
so cute, i cried
Hey guys, I really really hate to ask this, but Kuma and I are in desperate need of help.
He’s been puking constantly for four days now. This super thick mucus. He’s basically leaking uncontrollable liquid diarrhea. Last night we took him to the vet and they wanted to hospitalize him- For 600 dollars a night and 900 if he had to stay for 2 nights. We went home after paying the 95 dollar visit fee and the 35 dollars for an anti-nausea shot. I don’t have a penny to my name at the moment.
The vet told us that it’s either a really really terrible stomach bug, or Parvo. Parvo is highly contagious and can get my other dogs sick as well.
Today when I came down from work I found Kuma laying in a gigantic pile of his own vomit. He’s getting worse. He can’t go up or down the stairs right now because it takes too much out of him. The pictures are of him after his bath today.
My good friend Marly has set up a gofundme for Kuma. If anyone can donate ANYTHING it would mean the world to me, and possibly life saving for my Kuma.
gofundme.com/kuma-hospitalization-bills
I also have paypal panic.station@live.com
If I can make 600 in donations tonight I can take him to the 24 hour vet and have him hospitalized. And if you can’t donate, please please reblog and spread the word to get it out there. The sooner I can get Kuma to the vet, the better.
