I should note a different Missouri near total adult ban was also taken out
So if you’re reading about these bans, and you’re scared where you live or that you can’t travel/move to different parts of America, remember these bans are legal nonsense and failing in court over and over and over again
No but literally this sucks if real. Like it does and it’s worrying
it is real. it sucks. my immediate reaction was outrage over them killing my favorite bus line. “promotes satanism” my brother in christ it’s a fucking joke. polish christians get a grip challenge.
however,
the bus line’s response to the controversy over the number was to change 666 to 669. which is some of the most beautiful malicious compliance i have seen in a while. and it makes up for the hope in humanity i lost while reading the above screenshot.
A woman in Ancient Greece lived on a beautiful island where she wrote beautiful poetry renowned and celebrated long after her death. She was considered “the Tenth Muse”, one of Greek literary canon’s “Nine Lyric Poets” (ie similar with Shakespeare and Chaucer for English). And so outstanding was it that a woman should be this famous, that she was also simply known as “the Poetess”, just as Homer (he of the Odyssey) was known as “the Poet”.
That island was the island of Lesbos, and so the woman, Sappho, was rightfully called a Lesbian, as in “someone from Lesbos”. Her style of poetry was known as Sapphic, after her name, just like Homeric became an adjective as well. And since, later, people interpreted some her works as depicting the love between women, both of these adjectives became words to describe that.
Lesbian and Sapphic are not “bad words”. They describe beauty, poetry, and love. People have tried to make them slurs, yes, but thus for all the words that we queer people have to describe ourselves, every single one. I refuse to let hateful idiots take these words from me.
Lesbian and sapphic are beautiful words. Words full of love, words ringing with poetry. I wear them proudly.
I know I’ve reblogged this particular set of armour before, but I am going to reblog it again, and onward evermore every time it shows up on my dash, because it’s fucking amazing.
Every suit of plate armour, like this, had to be custom made, and along with all of the intricate moving pieces, the fabric-like “folds” on the armour and all of the engravings, it would have cost an absolute fortune. Armour was one of the most expensive things one could buy back in the day, and this person, this absolute fucking champion, decided that they wanted to spend that huge sum of money on this masterpiece.
Someone was living the fucking dream back in the mid-1500s, let me tell you.
I have been planning this short comic for the better part of the year now because I can’t stop thinking about the small asymmetries in their character design and how Caitlyn would notice.
The mechanical Vi part is inspired by @oxenfreeao3’s “Saltwater” fanfic which you can fin >here<
And page 5 is a tribute to the >fanart< which probably triggered the whole thing when I saw it way back then: @eerna
Took me an unhealthy amount of time working the whole comic but I can finally get it off my mind! This is a tribute to Vi through Caitlyn’s absolute gayness lol
Goddess, but this is gorgeous and heartfelt! I’m just gonna stare at it for awhile…
- eyeballs are an eyeball width apart - ears align with the top of your brows to the bottom of your nose, and are the center-point of a profile view - lip corners line up to the center of each eye - hands are roughly the size of your face - feet are the same size as your forearm - elbows are aligned with your belly-button - your hands reach down mid-length of your thighs - both upper and lower legs (individually) are roughly the same size as your torso (this is all rough estimates for proportion! feel free to add more to help others)
YOU ARE A FUCKING SAINT
- the length of your legs + feet is about the same as the length of your torso + everything above it
- collar bones extend directly from the shoulders
-wrists align with crotch
-Top of head to bottom of crotch is approx. the length of the legs. -Shoulders can be from a little over three heads wide (usually men) to a little over two heads wide (usually women). Most shoulders do not get wider or narrower than this.
-The thumb goes around halfway up the pinky. -Pinky finger goes to the halfway mark on the pointer finger. -The pointer and ring fingers are similar in length, with the amount of difference supposedly being related to the person’s hormone levels such as testosterone. Look up 2D-4D ratio to learn more.
-Average height adults are 6-7 heads tall. -Children are 4-5 heads tall. -Infants are around 3 heads tall. -If you want something to look cute, make them have a smaller heads-to-height ratio. If you want them to look more adult/mature/capable, go for more heads. Superheroes are often drawn 8-9 heads tall.
-Larger eyes make a face look younger. Smaller eyes make a face look older. -Eyes more than halfway down the face looks younger. Eyes more than halfway up the face looks older.
-The face and jawline go about halfway back in the profile, with the cranium making the other half.
These are guidelines, but do not feel like you have to follow all of these. Please feel free to break rules to make more interesting character designs!
your elbows should bend at the waist if you’re female, and your wrists should align with your crotch if you’re male.
Start by drawing the spine first, then add shapes that mimic the rib cage and the pelvis, (the pelvis always looks like a Chinese take-out box) and lines and circles to represent limbs and joints, and a ball with another rhombus for the skull. That way you can make a figure move that’s no so stiff and awkward.
If you can, learn to draw the figure from the inside-out, skeleton, muscles and all, that’s how you learn how a body moves and flows, even how fat and skin sits.
Practice drawing the figure in motion for a few minutes to warm up first before you begin drawing.
Creative and entertaining, but no drama! Slave to the muses. A mixed bag of femslash, a scoop of a couple m/f pairings and a dash of poly for spice. I have proclaimed myself Grand Poobah of the sturdy little dinghy that is AgentCorp! I also LOVE dansen and agentreigncorp. Huge Peggy Carter fan! 1st officer of the SSS Stegginelli. Angie Martinelli makes everything better. I want to be Steve Rogers, or at least my version of him.
