There’s this shitty thing that happens when you learn about the reality of racism, sexism and misogyny. You start to hear it from the mouths of your parents, grandparents, friends and siblings and you can’t ignore it anymore but you’ll see how many of them will ignore you when you speak out about it.

Real Christians aren’t assholes

In High School I had a friend who was super religious, her whole family was. Despite this, she was pro-marriage equality, pro-choice, and never once tried to convert me or make me feel bad about my own religious decisions (I was and still am an agnostic). She was always kind, and treated everyone with respect, regardless of race, religion, or orientation. For her the heart and soul of being a Christian was to love others and treat others with dignity. She was a real Christian.

Let’s also focus less on how Emma Watson’s taking parts in problematic films, which she seems to be doing largely because her managers tell her it’s the only way to make it past Harry Potter, and more on how James Franco, Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill Jay whatsisface, and Cahnning…

I present the most badass gifset on Tumblr.

Legitimately turned on by this

This is the best thing.

Oh my god

I don’t even know this fandom and this is cool.

Reason #999 why the cartoon will always be ONE MILLION PERCENT better than that travesty of a movie. They did so much research and put so much detail in you don’t even notice.

Bonus trivia: Toph got a unique martial arts style to match her distinct version of Earthbending (Southern Praying Mantis style, I think) which the creators found out later was (according to legend) invented by a blind woman. Totally a coincidence, but still so fucking cool.

(If you don’t watch the show, Toph is both blind from birth and the best damn Earthbender in the world. Also, GO WATCH THE SHOW.)

“It’s Been An Adventure, Mr. Fredricksen.”

“Adventure Is Out There!”

Someone asked me to post these two companion pieces together so it was easier to reblog them.

THIS WAS NOT OKAY

DUG

HE’S STILL WEARING THE ELLIE BADGE

I was just going to scroll past this when I REALISED what it was

Crying a million tears. Of happiness. Or something. I DON’T KNOW> WAAAAAHHHHH.

feelings </3

IT HAS BEEN OVER 4 YEARS AND IT IS STILL TOO SOON FOR THIS 

artisticpleasantries:

How is it that I’ve come to be friends with a man who is part of a monster I fear? Someone who seeks out the light, worships it almost, though is using it to keep creatures like him away? A man who share’s the same detest that I do for the vile beasts that plague this terra but is one himself? A man who has unpredictable fits of rage because he’s curse to endure the wrath of an internal Ender.

Why do I find myself comforting him when he’s lashed out of control once again destroying the landscape a long with me in it. He’s shaking from the bodily struggle of the aftermath and can hardly hold himself up. Apologizes  falling from his lips as he assesses the damage. It isn’t worth the effort to keep him intacted when he crumbles further after every quake. I should have never come here, I should have never seeked him out, I should have left him to the dark and let the savage demon envelope his heart…

…Yet I am here. Returning time and time again to the broken man I’ve come to know. Though my pain is physical it could never compare to the ache that squeezes at my heart when I see tears stream down his face.

I fear many things and hold desperately to the light but for once I could take the low glow of a royal colour over the warmth of a torch. To say I’ve never felt safer in unstable arms and the only thing I fear now is if they’re removed.

“Its okay Rythian. I’m fine, and no. I promised I wouldn’t leave.”

SAI brushes by Isihock

(copied from artist’s comments)

Thought I’d share some of my brushes since a couple of people have asked ❤

These are my favourites/the ones I use most C:

1. Painting Brush: The Brush I use for most of my painting. It blends really nicely but you have to merge all your layers. It’s nice and smooth and especially good for grass, fur, and small details.

2. Marker Tool: I mostly use the Marker tool for sketching, because it’s soft and subtle and lines just turn out so much nicer ❤ Also good for bushes or leaves. (fav.me/d6v9lg6 as shown here) Picture above is a really bad example of what it is capable of, sorry ahaha :L

3. Pencil Tool: Basically the same as the pen tool you automatically get in SAI, but with slightly changed settings for sharp, crisp and smooth lines C: I always use this one for lineart.

4. Marker Tool #2: Completely different to marker tool one. I use this one to lay down my colours while painting and not much else. It blends ok. Reason I like it though because its really good to lay down the colours you’re going to use, as it’s slightly see through, without making it look messy.

5. Acrylic Tool: I really need to rename my tools pff. Basically the same as the previous tool but with much better blending.

6. Fur Tool: Although I’ve never actually found a use for this tool (sigh) it’d be really good for fur and I love the way it looks //v just haven’t found a use for it yet.

7. Water Tool: Ahaha wow I use this tool way too much. I use it for getting my shading to look softer at some parts, I use it for blurring, blending, lighting, adding effects ect. ect. Its one of the tools that comes with Paint Tool SAI when you first get it but I think the settings are changed a bit.

How to make new brushes in SAI

Most of you probably already know how to make yourself brushes in SAI, but here it is just in case. Right click one of the light grey, empty boxes underneath your tools, and select a tool base. (for example pen, brush, marker, acrylic, eraser) This will be the starting point of your brush. then just edit the settings, and give it a name C:

Feel free to make/use these C:
