Thanks Op - Blog Posts

this is a great tutorial

some notes on drawing fat bodies in a stylized or cartoony art style! i tried to explain and illustrate things i keep in mind while drawing :)

Plotting is so much easier when you remember that editing exists; if it doesn’t go right the first time, you can fuck around later and make it better once you’ve got a clearer picture in your head of what you’re after

Your story probably isn’t gonna look even close to your plotting notes by the end of it, and that’s a good thing; it means your drafting worked

One of the most life-changing things I ever learned came from Mythbusters, where they tested and proved (with cognitive testing puzzles and reaction time tests) that lying down and resting with the intention to sleep STILL provided significant mental benefits over just staying awake, even if a person couldn’t fall asleep in the amount of time they had. 

It helps me to actually sleep to know that just lying down with my eyes closed is still doing me some good, and helps me to not freak out/beat myself up when I stay up later than intended. Any amount of rest is better than no rest!

So if you didn’t know that…now you do

no because no one talks about star tear disease (星涙病) when it's just as cool as Hanahaki disease (and in my opinion cooler but whatever).

it's not deadly like hanahaki but unlike hanahaki, it can never be cured.

the illness sprouts from unrequited love. the subject will begin to cry starts accompanied by twinkling sounds.

it's an eyeborn disease and you will start to become colorblind and can even extend to the patient losing sight completely.

the 'crying rainbow tears' is like crying out every color you ever saw. if the subject happens to get their feeling required, they'll stop crying stars but the damage can't be undone. leaving them color blind/blind forever.

in my opinion it's a lot better then hanahaki and yet no one knows of it, so depressing

Can't stop thinking about Jonathan Jarchivist Sims can't stop thinking about the subtle emotion in his voice when he said it felt good to compel people can't stop thinking about how he probably sat in his office in season 4 and tried to starve himself of statements because he Knew what everyone would think of him if he embraced what he was Becoming can't stop thinking about how he always took the verbally damaging blows from Melanie and Basira because he truly believed he did not deserve support can't stop thinking about the guilt he felt when he was awarded wholeness and completeness for bringing in the Fears can't stop thinking about how after years of slowly turning into a monster, he ultimately tried to make the most humane decision of trapping the Fears in his own reality instead of creating the chance of another individual experiencing the incomprehensible amount of pain and guilt he holds on his shoulders can't stop thinking abou

I wasn't expecting to run into an incredible Metroid post on Tumblr today...

metroid is about isolation

but metroid is also about learning to do trick jumps from random animals who celebrate when you get it right, and about saving them even as the planet shudders under your feet

and metroid is about lowering your gun when you meet the last of a species who's only just hatched, and gently holding out your hand

and metroid is about accidentally calling the name of someone you care about, who you thought you'd lost, and finding out they've been with you the whole time

and about a little scribble of a child with their parents tucked into the corner of a grand mural

and about the gifts left behind by others because they may be gone before they get to meet you, but that won't stop them from helping you

metroid is about love actually
