professional artists giving advice to younger artists: “don’t give up, don’t get discouraged when things don’t work out, keep practicing, surround yourself with supportive people”

an ice cold beer topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. lying on top of the ice cream foam is a salted peanut. this is the angel. around him are sprinkles (his tears). this is "the angel's lament", my new cocktail

Sure, why not. ‘Angels lament’

Still can't get over the fact that Toby Fox dreamed up a game ending, but he decided he wanted to make something a little less ambitious first, so instead he made the most influential indie game of all time

The detail on this man. Vincent stans come get yo juice.

I love how many post there are about how tragic it is Astarion can’t remember anything before Cazador when canonically he was a piece of shit before he was turned.

Like I love this bitch but you know he was making shady back alley deals with people like Cazador before he was turned & his family hated him.

That’s probably why his grave wasn’t taken care of. There was no one who cared enough to mourn him.

This fucks exponentially no more "good rep" I want exclusively bad evil metal hardcore rep

Here’s how the creator confirmed they were Nonbinary, which might just be the best way to confirm any character as Nonbinary.

Uni.

HEY LADIES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DID YOU KNOW UHHHHHHHHH

I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you

Don’t do this to me

my brother in christ you made the post

E231 👍

Why do you have that

Heehee🤭🤫

This aint about her

???

I hope this clears things up

why do you have that

Spirit Animal is racist.

Patronus was invented by a transphobe.

I think it’s time we all suck it up and say what we mean: fursona.

I know this is a jokey post (rip OPs notes) but a fursona is typically an animal REPRESENTATION of YOURSELF, not an external animal that is strongly meaningful to you and your life/journey.

I've seen daemon and familiar proposed, but to keep in line with the cursedness of the original post, may I suggest: spiritual tamagotchi

do you have any idea how refreshing it is to see a correction/suggestion to this post that actually understands the assignment

thinking important things

thanks keyboard, when I accidentally typed hest instead of best I totally wanted the hest (norwegian word for horse) emoji

Explanation:

>Japan bombs Pearl Harbor which brings America into World War II

>The draft for WWII creates a labor shortage in the US

>Because of the labor shortage, companies start significantly raising wages.

>FDR is worried that if wages go up too fast it could create runaway inflation, so he signs an executive order creating the National War Labor Board, which standardized salaries during the war in order to stabilize prices.

>Companies wanted a way to compete for talent in a limited labor pool despite not being able to offer higher salaries, so they started offering benefits packages to attract workers, the cornerstone of which was health insurance

>After the war, companies didn't want to give up their role in providing health insurance because it served them well in terms of both recruiting and retention (i.e. you're less likely to quit your job if it means losing your health insurance)

>This model becomes increasingly common across the US to the point where private health insurance companies are paying for the majority of healthcare expenses in the US

>Because the majority of healthcare costs were being paid by insurance companies rather than the people receiving care, hospitals began massively inflating the sticker price of their services with the expectation that the insurance company would negotiate those numbers down (as private insurance companies are want to do)

>Insurance companies take advantage of the increase in sticker prices by increasing premiums and passing off more of their costs to the consumer while continuing to negotiate down the actual price paid to hospitals

>This cycle repeats until the average hospital bill is completely divorced from any of the actual costs of the service

>In 2024 the average cost of giving birth in America is over $18,000

i know people have brought up the idea of Stormtroopers Under Vader’s Command Have A Vader Cult before, and i know a lot of people think it’s a little gratuitous, but i have some thoughts:

in conclusion, Stormtroopers Start A Vader Cult isn’t actually the most out there take in the world.

Nevermind, there’s been this on going rumor passed down from the clones who trained your sergeant’s sergeant’s sergeant before they were all phased out that the space wizard has been doing this non-stop since the start of the Empire.

Better yet, he kills asshole officers if they get on his bad side, which they do with regularity.  No troop under his command has to worry about mid-level officers.  They all know the moment one of these rich douches gets out of line, their days are numbered.  Their CO will remove the asshole with extreme prejudice, and all they have to do is drag a few dead bodies to the incinerator. 

Who cares if they’re always deploying into the thickest midst of rebels and terrorists, this post is great.

“This doesn’t make any sense. All I’ve ever heard is Vader’s dangerous, and you don’t want to be near him.”

“That’s true if you can pull a safe posting near the center of the empire. Out here, the safest place to be is ten feet behind him.”

“Behind him?”

“Yeah. He goes in first.”

…

“That… What do you mean he goes in first?”

“You’ve probably heard stories about him using a red plasma blade, right?”

“Yeah.”

“He blocks blaster fire with it. Never seen him get hit. He doesn’t carry one of his own, but I’ve seen him break necks from across a room. I don’t think he needs one.”

“You’re lying.”

“No. And it gets weirder. He’s better at the controls of an x-wing than C38, and he knows how to fix ‘em, too. F91 was doing repairs. Vader walks by, tells him to get it fixed. F91 tells him he’s working as fast as he can, but the left engine’s thermoregulator’s busted. Vader tells him to short the thing, put in a reverse-oriented macrotransistor on the return line, and do it quickly.”

“I’ve never worked x-wing repair.”

“Me neither, but F91 has. According to him, that’s an analog solution. Messy, needs frequent recalibration, but it works.”

“I… I don’t get it. What does him knowing how to repair an x-wing have to do with this being a good posting?”

“It matters because it means he’s competent. I served in the 33rd, under Rak Bansan. He wouldn’t stab people who got on his bad side, but he’d send us charging in to get slaughtered. I got lucky surviving as long as I did there. And half the time, rations didn’t come in on time.”

“Rations never come in on time.”

“They do in this battalion. Rations come in on time. Spare parts come in on time. He doesn’t care what C35 requisitions, and nobody argues with Vader’s quartermaster. And if he’s in front of you, then it doesn’t matter if you’re charging into an armed bunker. Vader will kill everything inside, so all you have to do is shoot past him, and try to stay alive. He’s going to win. You just have to make sure you do as well.”

“When I got transferred here, I wasn’t expecting people to… like him.”

“Like him? I don’t think he wants us to like him. But nobody gets in Vader’s way and lives, and as long as you’re pointed in the same direction as him, the only people who get in your way are getting in his way, too. I’ll take that over a man who’s never been in a fight any day.”
