once you realize its all saying the same thing. water spins generators in dams, car engines spin to make wheels spin, the earth spins in a circle and then spins around the sun which spins around the galaxy once you grasp that its all about spinning you realize why beyblade is so important

Stop! Releasing 2 minute songs!! Idc about TikTok!!! If it's a banger it needs to be at least 3:30.

#that one inexplicably 20 minute track in the Starbound OST my beloved #I think it's called Altair or something #I dunno #it's been a while

another fucking poll

#hard no unless you personally earn my trust first #one time a friend shot me a DM said “hey I wrote a thing with your OCs wanna see?” #what followed was multiple pages of an implicitly aroace and explicitly aroace character having a prolongued “intimate moment” #this happened years ago #but thinking about it still makes me feel physically ill #that guy lost interpretation privileges for the rest of yall

#until about a year ago I couldn't handle any kind of carbonation #but I knew I liked the taste of root beer #so I started letting it go completely flat before drinking it #and slowly built up my tolerance from there #every person I tell about this threatens to kill me over it

that bird right there is like the platonic ideal of a parrot or something

So many people do not understand the relationship between climate change and cold weather.

Feather illustration for non-biologists! It occurred to me that some of you might find this useful. It starts with a necessary biology lesson, because I find that understanding the structure and function of feathers will greatly improve accurate rendering of those feathers.

A lot of this is general - obviously you can find all kinds of exceptions in the  natural world (penguins, ratites, I’m looking at you guys). But it should cover the bulk of the illustration needs if you’re not comfortable drawing feathers and want some ideas on how to improve.

For photo references, I highly recommend birdpixel (a very generous online art reference created by Leena and Vivek Khanzode), Cornell’s Macaulay Library, and Piranga, which is mostly aimed at North American bird banders but shows excellent close-ups of a variety of species.

The stigma of self-inserts is so harmful to the creative process. Relax. Admit it. Everything you make is derivative of yourself, always, no exceptions. You can turn the mirror into tinier and tinier shards or you can make it as big as you want to reflect as much as you want. At the end of the day it's always going to show you inside of it. Pretending otherwise is stupid.
