Its Entirely Okay To Be Happy With Being A System And We Will Never Understand Why That's So Controversial

being a system is the silliest because i will be literally having a breakdown sobbing on the floor but the right thing triggers me and suddenly fluttershy is cleaning my kitchen

Finally looked into what radqueers are because I've been seeing the term everywhere and by gods I need to bleach my brain what the actual fuck

Co-con? unoriginal. boring. (/lighthearted)

Backseat gaming? supreme. unique. perfect. implies everyone behaves like twitch chat.

Headmate 1: I wanna watch this show

Headmate 2: I want to start learning sign language

Headmate 3: Well I want to learn new art mediums

Headmate 4: NO, practicing our digital art!

Headmate 5: We should really be finding a job

Headmate 6: Hey remember those phone calls you need to make

Me: ...

revising your writing is just like "is this weird. is this a weird sentence. is this the weirdest most poorly-worded sentence ever written by anyone" and the sentence in question is "he walked across the room"

Love your art! What's your shading process / any tips? I really like how vibrant it is

Thank you!! also sorry this is a long post

I usually start painting the character after I already have a background, super sketchy or with a placeholder (a photo usually), just so i know what colors to use

I fill the character with a color from the BG or a similar color and use the multiply blending mode

then i paint the lights on another layer with the "add glow" blending mode (i also pick the color depending on the bg).

I add another multiply layer for anything that needs to be darker, like stuff under the characters clothes

I paint a line with a saturated color between the lights and shadows, for example i added a bright red for the cape and light purple for their skin (? this is subsurface scattering, it doesnt happen on every surface but i like how it looks so i use it on everything lol.

Then i paint the lineart a similar color to each part of the character or you can paint it all red and use multiply

that's basically it

some tips (these are just things that work for me)

I think is better to paint the lights, not the shadows. it helps to see the shapes of the thing/character you're drawing better (its what i did with lambert ⬆️)

Draw backgrounds, i think it makes every drawing look more interesting and its easier to decide the lighting for the character, if you dont want to draw anything detailed you can paint something simple and blur it

i really recommend to start with a thumbnail, experiment with colors, perspective, composition, etc. before actually starting the drawing thumbnails of this post

this tip is something that everyone has heard before but use references, real life references like photographs for perspective and lighting, 3d models for anatomy and perspective, paintings to see how other artists stylize objects, bgs or characters. use references for everything

this tip is super important for me: check the values of your drawing, (lower the saturation, with the lineart hidden) if it isnt readable/ doesnt look good in black and white it most likely wont look good with colors (this depends on artstyle and personal preference tho)

generally speaking when it comes to mental and physical health, if you're asked "do you struggle with this" and your answer is "no, Because I Have A System," then your answer is actually yes

Going through anti-endo tags to block sysmeds and my gods the amount of "anti fakeclaiming" posts from people that literally fakeclaim other systems daily is staggering, it's gotta take conscious effort to be that dense

Anyway all systems are valid, gatekeeping helps literally no one and this is a very interesting first day back on tumblr. Not sure if anyone's gonna sign off yet.

plural lawyer call that a justice system

No thoughts only technoblade giving his cape to tommy to keep him warm but the cape is a bit too big bc Technoblade is a BIG GUY and Tommy isnt SMALL exactly but he’s definitely not technoblade-size so hes trying very valiantly to wear Technos cape all cool-like and pretend that he’s intimidating in this long flowing cape but also he is. Being drowned in the fluff. And hes tripping over the cape. Hes faceplanted in the snow. Techno wonders if he might’ve been better off without the cape at all, and he’s like “i can take it back” but Tommy is like NO NO I GOT IT and then he trips over it a second time
