So, Let Me Guess– You Just Started A New Book, Right? And You’re Stumped. You Have No Idea How Much

@baosci @whiver-wyverncat

I've got some bad news...

My computer had to reload all my Chrome tabs and apparently I hadn't saved my second chapter of Drowning via preview yet? And like an idiot I hadn't copied it into Libre Office.

So I just lost the entirety of my almost finished second chapter.

I genuinely don't know if my motivation can recover from this, cause I definitely can't remember everything I wrote, and I don't want it to be any different. I feel awful and I'm so sorry. Maybe it's not my place to be, Baosci you are amazing and I can't wait to see where the canon of this goes, but I don't know what to do now. I love y'all. Maybe I'll figure out a different way to write it.

That's all. Just wanted to let you know.

my silly little actor au

To any Double Life lovers, I recommend you to play/watch a playthrough of Project: Eden's Garden

Eva Tsunaka is literally Double Life Pearl

And here it is! My first fully completed Procreate Dreams animation. I used audio from one of Technoblade’s more famous rants during his Potato War series. I love Technoblade and miss him every day, so I hope that I was able to capture the magic of his energy in my animation.

I animated the roughs and drew the backgrounds in Procreate, but then I imported that into Dreams to do all the cleanup. It runs at 24 fps, but there’s a lot of variations to spice it up in there.

I wanted to really challenge myself so there’s a LOT going on in this short 9 second clip. There’s a camera move with multiple layers to achieve a subtle parallax scroll, there’s two lighting changes with one being a completely animated shadow layer, and there’s a warp effect on the curtains for when it opens and closes.

There’s still a lot that could be cleaned up. Some of the linework is a little more jittery than I would prefer, and the coloring process was awful. Every color was its own separate layer, which was exhausting to do. I really hope i can figure out a faster and easier way to do the coloring process because that took me over a week to complete! Yikes!

Overall I’m extremely proud of my work here. I’ve been working on this 9 second clip since Dreams released and I really wanted to showcase to everyone just how powerful Dreams is. I know a lot of people were complaining about it when it released and I wanted to do something to help reorient people’s expectations. I genuinely cannot believe that I did all of this on my iPad!

If anyone has any questions or would like to see a breakdown of this animation, please feel free to contact me!

And remember… Technoblade never dies!

Why are you lgbtq+? wrong answers only GO

Why do they never say this?

I'm not usually one to make posts like this, but I've recently started reading the Bible (both the New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition and the King James Bible, for purposes of literary and translation comparison, and I saw something that made me pause. I want to preface this by saying I'm no sort of theology authority or even a Christian, I am merely a nerdy queer agnostic peeking around the corner.

In Genesis, there's the commonly cited passage by sexist men (and women) about man being first and woman being created to serve man:

GENESIS 2 20;The man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of the air and to every animal of the field, but for the man there was not found a helper as his partner. 21;So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22;And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. [NRSVUE]

And Christian MAGA and right-wing and sexist people always point to it to be like "See! See! Women aren't on the same level as men!"

But what they never discuss is that this is the SECOND story of Genesis.

Early on in Genesis 2, it seems that a shift of authors occurs, or a different oral tradition is included, because the entire tone of the text changes drastically. God is never called the Lord until this change occurs, and the digital NRSVUE on Bible Gateway notes this shift explicitly.

The thing is, in the first chapter of Genesis, which details the six days of Earthly creation, there is a direct opposition to man and woman being uneven.

GENESIS 1 27;So God created humans in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Male AND Female. At the same time. Neither subservient to the other, neither greater or lesser. And this is a single chapter behind the cited passage. What's more, both man and woman are in the image of God, meaning that God has both male and female aspects, and separated humans accordingly (possibly arbitrarily) for an unknown reason.

Y'all. God canonically has boobs and a dick.

What's more: Why do we refer to God as a he? Why would he care? Did gendered pronouns even exist in his language before we assigned them to him? WHY WON'T "CHRISTIANS" WHO CITE THE BIBLE FOR EVERYTHING ACKNOWLEDGE THIS??

Ugh I just needed to get my thoughts in writing. Casually waving to the two people who might reblog this. 👍 See ya next time I have weird deep thoughts!

Run around screaming and then write random fanfiction and start about 5 different fanart pieces you'll never finish

I'm not even on round two, this is still the initial wave for me

"I made a whole playlist for them organized by season"

- the true form of my lower face would drive you to madness

- im just really ugly

- curse of binding

- embarrassing sunburn

- The oath

- made a bet

- lost a bet

- i actually dont have a lower face. the mask stops things from floating into the Void

- stops leaks

- the canadian government makes me wear this

- the bit

- i actually dont really like wearing it. i do it to uphold my reputation

- i just realized... i can forge my own path! do whatever i want to do! i dont have to stand in anyone's shadow and wear this anymore! i'm free!

- slight advantage in pvp. they cant predict my next move if they cant see my subtle facial expressions

- i'm built different. better. being able to breathe properly made pvp too easy. the mask limits the supply of bloodflow to my brain to be on par with everyone else. if i were allowed to reach my full potential i would far surpass the physical skills of every other person. the mask just evens it out.

- i am kakashi
