hi folks! i did my own little rendition on that one outfit meme, and it's a little spicy so i censored it in case tumblr would smite me, lol

also made a fun little filtered version! (the uncensored version is in my telegram channel... https://t.me/SKO117ART)

despite my claims of it not really fitting... what do you think? ://3

:D

If the big guy had to play any sports, what would he play; and what position?

Oouhh... that is a good question...

Well, because of some of his mutations and powers in his own realm (which I havent quite shared much about yet...), I think he would feel it unfair to participate in most sports that require other people, but with this kinda paradigm (as he looks like now)...

Probably some professional grappling and probably some Sumo! I think he would be more of a casual or hobbyist at other stuff, like soccer and cycling, but take something like fencing or archery pretty seriously. Of course though, with anything, he would do his absolute best.

Also.. perhaps some professional competitive eating.. or something.. <///<

I've kind of thought about how sports would materialize within his home realm, maybe sometime when I have things more presentable, I'll share about it!!

Thanks for the Ask!! <3

Y'all got any questions about my sona btw? This is a little call to action 'cause I've never used the "ask" system tumblr has and am a little curious to see how it works!

hyena positivity that focuses on spotted hyenas only is so fake. if you don’t love brown and striped hyenas then get out. if you don’t love aardwolves I can’t even look at you oh my god

why is making a resume so difficult

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things

Dear downydig,

Any secret knowledge on how to do fluid and dynamic poses? (Btw, I love ur art!! So comfy and cozy!!!)

Sincerely, Paper-Starz

Hello hello! I have some advice! I did a thing on lines of action and the benefits of tracing in learning models a LONG time ago… the advice still holds up! Use shapes like ‘s’ curves, ‘c’ curves, and even sharper ‘U’s to give a fun fluid motion! Limbs and spine are the main help here, but the head sometimes comes into play ✌️

I have a little more to add, however! One of these pictures is my oc and the other is a king fu panda character but it’s still useful! When creating a pose, you can also use silhouette! Bonus points if the shape of the silhouette is different than the shapes that compose the character (in a way that matches the personality of course!)

Curiosity

I know its a long post, but bear with it, Shirobako just dropped a bomb-shell that every artist should recognize and realize. Don’t worry about your quality. That’ll increase on its own as you draw. Just draw lost. Draw anything and all things. Just draw. Don’t care about what it looks like, that’s not important right now. Draw.

A lot of things start to make more sense as you get older and unfortunately there actually is some stuff you can only fully understand when you’ve gotten past like 22 at the bare minimum

what are your thoughts on the fetishization of fat people or fat bodies, how do you distinguish feeder kinks and people who like fat bodies and accept them from people who are simply fetishizing them? Have you seen any overlap within the communities?

One word: Consent.

I hate how the word ‘fetishization’ gets tossed around when what people really mean is objectification. Anyone can objectify a person without their consent, they don’t have to have a fetish to do so.

So what does it actually mean to objectify someone? How do you know if a person is truly appreciating someone for their beauty or if they are objectifying them?

Professor of Law and Ethics at the University of Chicago, Martha Nussbaum, identified seven features associated with the idea of treating a person as an object in our society:

1. Instrumentality: the treatment of a person as a tool for the objectifier's purposes

2. Denial of autonomy: the treatment of a person as lacking in autonomy and self-determination

3. Inertness: the treatment of a person as lacking in agency, and perhaps also in activity

4. Fungibility: the treatment of a person as interchangeable with other objects

5. Violability: the treatment of a person as lacking in boundary-integrity

6. Ownership: the treatment of a person as something that is owned by another

7. Denial of subjectivity: the treatment of a person as something whose experiences and feelings (if any) need not be taken into account

Rae Helen Langton, FBA, an Australian and British professor of philosophy, later added three more features to the list:

8. Reduction to body: the treatment of a person as identified with their body, or body parts

9. Reduction to appearance: the treatment of a person primarily in terms of how they look, or how they appear to the senses

10. Silencing: the treatment of a person as if they are silent, lacking the capacity to speak

Fetishes or sexual interests alone do not mean a person is objectifying anyone. The behaviors above do. How do you distinguish feedists from non-feedists? That question’s irrelevant. You never have to consent to participate in kink with anyone. That is your right. Feedists are people like everyone else - they’re capable of interacting with you in a respectful way…

I absolutely see overlap between feedism and fat lib - most feedists I know are incredibly passionate about fat lib, and many of them have even less internalized fatphobia and ableism than the general fat liberation community. I am a feeder and openly identify with the feedism community and have already spoken on this topic in depth. Fetishes do not make you dangerous and I will die on this hill protecting my community.

yeah i like fursonas. but what i really like is

the reoccurring desire to reach out to those names I see often enough and feel like I would vibe with are real today

just as real as the ever present anxiety of actually saying anything and not bungling it up and being an unenjoyable dummy

By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.

Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation

Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You do not have to be stuck forever.

reblog to cast level 5 spell: everyone who reads this gets a full night sleep

also saw a little toad in the front yard teehee

oh Tumblr I forgot to share this deer that was in my back yard my applegies

the only thing that makes it weird is that I live in a subdivision, like deep into one. I haven't seen him this week, but I'll probably call an animal rehab center next time I do

his leg seems a bit off, but he's still moving around. he's probably fine, but I think it's the season where they scrape the velvet off their antlers, right?

I hope he can find his way out on his own.

some pics were taken 4 days a part, so he was chilling in this little spot for like 4 days somehow.

the world is heartbreaking every day and the world is beautiful every day and we have to pay attention to both
