You have to recognize your capacity for harm. You cannot omit the harm you've done to others to remain "good." Anybody can be a bigot. Anyone can be an abuser. Anyone can harm anyone at any time even those who have been harmed themselves. The world is not made up of victims and villains only, this is life, not a Saturday morning cartoon and you are a human being who can or maybe even has hurt others and you HAVE to acknowledge that to learn to be better.
Relationships that have real king/lionheart energy, that whole “I have sworn myself wholly to you, I am your sword arm, I am your dog” to someone else’s “you are the one person in this world I can rely on, and I am both bolstered and burdened by your absolute faith in me” vibe, but it’s in circumstances that are like. so low stakes. Manager of a movie theater/the one usher who doesn’t smoke weed at work.
Obviously people tag this with fictional characters who match this dynamic, but I have to say I am OBSESSED with everyone who is like “this is me for real in actual life. I would die for you, assistant manager brenda.”
sunny today so now I am on a walk. anybody ever notice there's stuff outside of the house? like trees and birds and even other houses.. wild
unfortunately the dominant species of this strange land seems to be great and terrifying metallic beasts which prowl the streets with their deafening growls and blinding shiny armor and noxious fumes
We always got a chuckle out of passing the sign for the “Bong State Recreation Area” on our drives to Milwaukee during grad school, but I did always wonder why they didn’t try to remediate this eminently stealable road sign by adding the eponymous honoree’s first name….
….ah.
I had to check this individual out on Wikipedia and…look at him. Look at this body language. The nostril perma-flare.
This is a man staring down the next hundred years of history, daring us all to Make Something Of It.
saw a poll about dry/humid heat and like OBVIOUSLY everyone preferred dry heat but. would love to know what everyone considers to be “too hot”
me personally it’s a hard cutoff at 75°F. don’t need anything more than that thank you 🫶🫶🫶
yeah “i can teach you” is kind and gentle and warm and comforting. it’s also hot. right
If people were too mean to you when you were growing up, a newborn animal will materialize inside your brain and it’s so so scared and shivering and it will stay there for years. Decades, even. And whenever you say something kind of weird but true to your heart the animal will tell you “Noo! You can’t say that! If you say that, everyone will hate you!”. The animal means well. It’s so so small and everything is so scary for them and it’s just trying to protect you. But listen to me. Listen to me. Whenever this happens, you can’t do what the animal says. You can’t. If you do, you’ll become as scared as the animal. You have to keep saying weird shit. You have to keep doing things the animal wouldn’t approve of. If you do enough things that scare the animal, maybe one day it’ll go to sleep.
obsessed with the fact that naked mole rats seem to have a whole caste of special little guy whose job it is to be really fat, horny, unhelpful, and disgusted by incest
guy whose social role is to say “I fucking hate it here, I don’t respect literally any of you people” somehow so much funnier in a mammal than a bug
My redesign hot take is that if you’re aiming to “desexualize” a female character, don’t make her boobs smaller. You’re implying a lot here.
Instead of shrinking her boobs, try:
There are probably lots more options too! I’m not an artist! Just a person with a big chest and back pain!
If you don't make her shoulders round down, draw her upper back muscles accordingly. Large breasts are heavy, and that's where the weight of them ends up being carried by if you square your shoulders. As someone who has done both, it's a very similar back muscle motion to drawing a bow, and though it's less intense, it's more frequent- if you have good posture.
Large breasts also often mean that you're carrying fat elsewhere. Thick upper arms, thick thighs, and a soft stomach and back with some rolls, are all very likely.
If you still draw her very thin, that probably means that she has dense breasts that aren't very fatty, which affect how they hang on the chest.
Of course, none of those are necessarily desexualizing- but they're definitely more realistic!
Hi I have a question about Pacific Rim. Given that the sparring is just A way to test for drift compatibility and any activity that requires people to collaborate and anticipate each others moves works, including stuff like multi player video games
They are piloting a Jaeger together in my imagination
#hate this. im in the shatterdome trying to coordinate my jaegers in the field fighting for the fate of humanity #and these two chuckleheads over here won’t stop doing bits on the open channel #they keep defeating kaiju with slapstick routines and its INFURIATING

The second time I quilted Joan of Ark.

For all my fellow oversharers out there.
As a chronic people-pleaser, this is my advice for success.
Offer as little as possible. Be terse. Get rid of all those exclamation marks and tidbits about why you want to take a sick day. State your needs clearly and concisely without reason. Start saying “No, I’m unable.” more often. Say Thank You only when the other party deserves it.
