hot artists don't gatekeep
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard
Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.
Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.
Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.
Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.
SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.
SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.
Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.
Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.
Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.
Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.
Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

love characters who (for whatever reason) absolutely cannot smile for the life of them. they just don’t know how. they don’t have the training. but then they do anyway and it’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen in your life

AND I LOVE THAT !!!!!! I LOVE U !!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE ARE NO “WRONG” SMILES IN THE WORLD ITS FAKE NEWS……………. DO NOT LET SOCIETY LIE TO U

got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me
Oh ancient one what wisdom do you hold?
- 99% of callout posts are bullshit and just petty personal drama someone is escalating to get even on a grudge. do not engage with these, do not freelance as a cop
- DNIs do not work. accept this. internalize that people you don't like will see your posts and engage with them. this is unavoidable and the sooner you make peace with it the freer your mind will be. block the freaks and don't sweat the small stuff
- building a tight knit circle of fellow weirdos who vibe with your particular quirks and taste is infinitely more rewarding and sustainable than chasing the biggest numbers
- don't respond to bad-faith arguments or bad takes; just block people, blacklist tags, filter post content, and move on. don't feed the trolls (or the bigots)
- don't hate-follow
- don't tag your hate (ex. if you're posting about how much you hate a ship, don't tag it as that ship, etc.)
- don't feel obligated to keep following someone who posts stuff that upsets/depresses/angers/bores you just because you know them really well, or because you're mutuals, or because you used to like what they post. following is nothing personal and neither is unfollowing
- op doesn't know you; avoid parasocial relationships
- don't pick fights or reblog posts just to disagree/argue
- spread joy and positivity in your circles
- disable anonymous asks
This is some of the best social media advice (and advice for being a human among humans generally) I've ever seen.
All of this. For people asking how I've survived here for over 12 years...

subtle ways to include foreshadowing
- one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later
- the crow rhyme
- colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?
- write with the ending in mind
- use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future
- keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal
- WEATHER.
- do some research into Chekhov's gun
- mention something that the mc dismisses over and over
- KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.
- unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true
- flowers and names with meanings
- anything with meanings actually
- metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh
- anyways add anything else in the tags

One of the funniest things about enemies-to-lovers ships is how they’re almost always obsessed with each other. Like if a character actively chooses to interact with another character over and over again instead of simply ignoring them? Throw darts at it all you want, but you still printed out a picture of them to hang on your wall
"Throw darts at it all you want, but you still printed out a picture of them to hang on your wall." - This is a raw line.
