Just saying. It's cute.

It disturbs me how many people don’t know the anatomy of a pen/pencil/brush/stylus/tool of choice when held by an artist. I would have thought this was common knowledge!

There is a tube inside your tool of choice that is filled with art. When you first pick it up for the day, there’s a very small blockage (the red part in the diagram that I have helpfully provided for you) of bad or awkward art that has sunk down and settled near the tip. The only way to get rid of it is to draw it out onto a page/canvas.

Once you do that, you can get to the good art! It’s totally normal. It happens to everyone. That’s why people do warmups before they draw - they know that awkward art is lurking right near the tip, so they’re getting rid of it.

New artists especially seem to not know that it’s there, and sometimes they might think their bad art blockage is never ending, but if you keep drawing, you’ll get to the good art. Sometimes that awkward art blockage can build up a little bit if you go a long time without drawing, too. Just keep going, though. I promise you that you can break through it, if you just keep going.

I'm sorry I keep posting my tiktok comments but please. What does this mean. What do people THINK shipping is for anymore???

One of my favourite things about Lloyd Garmadon is that the name 'Lloyd' comes from the Welsh name/word 'Llwyd,' meaning grey- which perfectly coincides with Lloyd being a sort of grey area between oni and dragon*

Another thing that makes me laugh is that in TLNM both Lloyd and Lord Garmadon are technically wrong about the pronunciation of the 'LL' in Lloyd's name. 'LL' is a single letter in Welsh, and is pronounced as sort of an aerated 'L' sound (idk how to describe it)

Of course that sound doesn't exist in English, and Lloyd /is/ the anglicised version of Llwyd, but I'd absolutely love to tell Lloyd he's pronouncing his name wrong. It would be the first thing I'd say to him after I got over the shock of actually meeting him.

I just started watching komi can’t communicate, and since najimi is absolutely the best character, have these totally real responses to them being asked about their gender:

I recently got into Miraculous Ladybug, so of course I had to make my own sona and version of a bat miraculous :)

So here's my Sona

Her civilian name is Carrie, and her superhero name is Ystlum (pronounced uhst-limb)

The bat miraculous is a headband that sprouts ears when activated. The ears have a lining that is split into five sections that turn black as time runs out.

The kwamii's name is Pipp (as in pipistrelle), and she's the kwamii of insight.

She's very shy and quiet, as she knows a lot of the kwamii's secrets due to her hearing being even sharper and broader than that of a normal bat's. She's scared she'll let slip of some of them, so she stays quiet most of the time. She's close with Roaar, though.

She also has backward knees, like real bats

The bat miraculous has the power 'unveil.' This allows the holder to build up an image of a scene using sound. The holder does not need to be present in the scene they wish to view.

This power can see through illusions without compromising them, and counters powers grant invisibility. It can also be used to see around corners, and behind people's backs etc.

The bat also has the power to detect when an akuma is created, and can sense where an akuma/akumatised object is. This works on a similar concept to the cat's night vision, and the butterfly's ability to sense negative emotions even when not transformed.

The weapon of the bat miraculous is the wings. They're very sharp and can be used to glide. Depending on the holder, they may present as dual wielded katana.

Not to be a drooling socialist cuck, but if a full day's labour can't purchase three square meals, 24 hour's worth of rent and utilities, a fraction of a month's clothing budget, and a reasonable portion to be saved for when you can no longer comfortably work, what the fuck are we doing shit for

rats can drive cars btw. if u even care

Random Nexo Knight thought: there should’ve been an episode where Jestro and the lava monsters all snuck into a formal event, specifically a masquerade type of party, in the castle and they all had fancy outfits and they all had to wear masks so they could steal something, like a trinket or something from Merlok’s library. BUT, Jestro gets stuck with like a really cute dress but eventually starts to absolutely ROCK IT, and he and the lava monsters get carried away until either the Book of Monsters reminds them why they’re there or one of them breaks character during a dance. Cue Nexo knights battle scene and that one Nexo power for the episode, corny jokes etc. idk I just feel like Jestro being in a dress would be really cool

I like this-a whole lot

Physical shops are also nice for spending time with friends- wandering along high streets and just looking through and having a nice time

Also feeling the textures of clothing- genuinely I will look at something, say 'that's nice,' then touch it and immediately say 'yuck!' Because it's like organza or something

every time I hear someone say “we should just get rid of physical shops and have everything online” I get a bit angry because

a) physical shops are important for those who don’t have access to a computer/ internet/ ect

b) those “weird” and “niche” shops I love so much don’t have the same vibe online, they turn into just another website

c) I hate paying for shipping

AI defenders will make it seem as if art is this gatekept pastime that only the most elite can partake in and they’re making it possible for the “normies” to create meanwhile one of the most memorable pieces of recent art I’ve ever seen is “My son’s drawing of safe”

hunter, king and vee are what I call the "extinct species club" poor kids and their corpse pits 😭

In order to spread trans acceptance people now push the gender norms back into boxes.

Now if a character has problems with gender it's because they are trans. And not because there are still problems with gender that shouldn't be ignored.

Now if a person doesn't look like a 'typical girl' and a 'typical boy' they are labeled as trans, ignoring that gender presentation is not connected to gender identity.

I GET it, trans need attention and care. That doesn't mean it's okay to push others out, shoo them into boxes to give more space for transgenders.

don't give up

I've loved this ship since I started reading the beano a few years back (2018) - and at the time I wrote a (really awful) fanfic about them on wattpad that I have since taken down lmao

Here's a drawing I did of them at the time. I have definitely improved since then.
