○When Sasuke first starts opening up to Naruto, he does it in the dead of night completely alone. Even if Naruto is on the verge of passing out, he will do his utter best to hang on and hear sasuke till he is done.
○Naruto meanwhile will sometimes just drop "oh thats trauma" trivia "Tsunade says I eat so fast cause of meal insecurity or somethin' like that" "You try teaching yourself how to read and see how fast ya are at it" "Oh yeah I forgot I can shop there now" like nbd and Sasuke just has to slightly pause from both heartbreak and anger to process that real quick(Naruto inflicts this on the other loved ones too)
○They are dragging each other into healthier eating habits, kicking and screaming. Naruto to accept healthier foods and Sasuke to actually eat his fill.
○Naruto preens like a bird whenever Sasuke gives him that intense look of want. Even after they've been together years he'll still puff up a little (Shikamaru's lungs threaten to collapse from sighing at these 2)
○Sasuke is obvi not a PDA guy* but Naruto is very tactical so he returns them in small ways like leaning into a hand or a brush of fingers
*this becomes utter bullshit after any legit serious battle/scare
○They will absolutely pine to some degree when Sasuke's mission run longer
This…….was supposed to be a small one panel joke. About, WKX being good at recognizing beautiful backsides? You know?
Since I posted Extremely Sad art of Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling last week, I am now legally required to post this Significantly Happier art of them this week.
See? Look! Jin Ling gets to meet some puppies! Jiang Cheng ALSO gets to meet some puppies! Little Fairy and her little paws get to meet Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng! (Can you tell which one she is?) This is NO HURT ALL COMFORT material

Hey! Im trying to find a fic where Derek is single father to Eli and starts dating stiles. Eli hates stiles and tries to get rid of him but it doesn’t work. Eventually Derek breaks up with stiles for Eli but is like so depressed and sad and Eli can’t stand it so he gets them back together. If anyone can find this fic, I know you can!!
Hi @bouncy-dog-funeral! Anon and @istalsworld says it's this one.

Derek loves his son, Eli, but he also loves this new guy Stiles, and Eli knows. Only one of them can stay.
Aka, Eli doesn't approve of his father's new relationship, and somehow, he still ends up being the one to stitch everything back together.

A friend of mine just sent me some of your art tips and I loved them! Since I was a kid I could draw, but it was always a straight up copy of already finished drawings simply for the pure joy of drawing, but now I wanna draw on my own and I'm finding it very difficult! I'm still trying to figure out an artstyle, and I practice things alone (lips, eyes, nose) and they seem to be okay, but when I try to put them together on a face, it doesn't work, like the eyes is not the previous eyes I've been practicing and such. Do I need to practice the face as a whole? Am I doing something wrong?
Awesome, I’m so glad you like ‘em! Ah shit, look what you’ve done, you’ve made me practice anatomy (jkjk this is affectionate!)
In answer, yes absolutely you gotta practice the face as a whole! Don’t worry, most people start from just practicing individual facial features on their own! It’s super easy to tunnel vision! Those studies will also help you going forward, so it’s not time wasted!
A general disclaimer before I keep going: I went to school for animation and never took a proper anatomy class, so these are all tips and tricks I’ve either picked up along the way or figured out on my own. Take them with a grain of salt!
Ok first I think everyone’s seen a diagram of how to measure where facial features sit on the face so I’ll just copy/paste an image to get that out of the way. ***one thing to keep in mind is how the face is divided into thirds:
**** Important Note: Spend some time studying the skull too! For simplicity’s sake, here are some basic landmark parts of the structure you should be aware of:
Next, there’s three methods of drawing the head that I frankenstein together:
1) The Loomis Method is I think the easiest to start playing with head/face perspective drawings. Using the above method of dividing the head into thirds, we can put that on this super simple head model and rotate it in 3D.
Here’s a great video by Stan Prokopenko that goes into more depth on the method!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAOldLWIDSM
2) For musculature, I like referencing the Reilly Method because the round shapes it uses help me understand how different parts squish into each other.
3) For painting/rendering ref, I really like using the Asaro Head because it really helps as reference on how lighting breaks up the planes of the face. (I’m still a ways away from publicly posting most paintings I’ve done tho) No demo for this one because painting takes me 84 yrs
EDIT: This isn’t my painting btw
*** One crucial thing I’d want to point out is that you should also practice drawing heads without painstakingly following measurements and guidelines. 1) everyone’s head/face are different and will have different proportions and 2) you want to get used to drawing without limiting yourself to one method as a crutch! These are all just tools to help you on your journey!
4) As far as simplifying the face goes, the pretty common way I’ve seen/used is to divide the head into two sections: the eyes and brow area, then the area below the cheekbones. This is where the bean face that everyone was mad about in 2015 comes from lololol (we’ve moved on from bean-hate, right? pls?)
One last note: Most of what I’ve posted on my blog has faces with floaty features, so don’t reference my stuff for your own good LMAO
Hope this helps!
