Best Served Bloody

ouch indeed

ouch

“good Christian honk” sounds like a euphemism 

using this post to (sort of) address the "heroes are just cops" argument because I see it in the reblogs. I kinda get the idea, but well. I mean, for one, this could apply to any superhero, obviously. the problem with police is that they abuse their power in service of their personal goals and ideologies, and the practical root of this problem is that they HAVE that insane amount of systemic power in the first place. and nobody's ever gonna have more power than a person with literal superpowers, regardless of whether or not that person does admittedly FEEL eerily cop-like.

at the end of the day all might is just as capable of what would be analogous to police brutality as batman or superman— and I'm no comics nerd, but out of those three, I'm pretty sure all might's the only one who HASN'T been shown doing something like that. in fact, now that I think about it, the world of my hero academia is weirdly lacking in any sort of systemic issues? eh, I'll chalk it up to anime logic and horikoshi's aversion to writing any large-scale moral dynamic that isn't so black and white it makes my dad's political takes look discerning and nuanced (and my dad is a dumbfuck """centrist""" who somehow doesn't see the cognitive dissonance in calling himself progressive while watching bill fucking maher).

at the end of the day, if I can suspend my disbelief enough to be cool with super strength and flying, I can suspend it enough to imagine that this world doesn't have a police violence problem, since horikoshi has never deigned to include anything like that in the narrative. what I can and will do, however, is criticize the fucked up shit he DID choose to portray and then NEVER FOLLOWED UP ON. like, hello? they made nagant KILL PEOPLE?? and we're expected to not question the hspc and whatever other systems of government oversee this shit??? really do hope that has some sort of resolution that doesn't make me cringe hard enough to lose teeth.

i can understand disliking most anime protags- most of them have some serious issues, but i cannot fuckin fathom disliking Izuku Midoriya

wtf did he do? look fruity? cry since he was traumatized?

whatd the lil green rabbit to do yall?

HCYDYFUB YOU USE IBISPAINT TOO????

You do your art traditionally, right? How do you scan it so neatly?

Before I used th scanner method, which can be found here, but now I use the app IbisPaint X to just extract the line art from phone pictures! It’s super easy and quick!

1) So here’s a regular picture before editing. This method works best for smaller drawings (you can use a printer to scan larger works ^^) for clarity’s sake!

2) Once you’ve selected an image, choose a size (I usually just choose originl), press to “Extract Line Drawing, and adjust “White” to lighten the image!

Eraser mistakes and crop and you’ll be done! Be sure not to lighten too much or you’ll lose some shading.

3) If the line art is too light, you can just duplicate the line art to darken it!

I also use an eraser at a large size and very light opacity to lighten up certain areas that are still too dark.

4) It even works for pictures that don’t have the best quality

Hope this helps! I’ve used this method on nearly all of my art since a few months ago and it works every time! IbisPaint X is also just a really cool app with a bunch of features and it’s FREE! Good luck drawing!

hey, I'm really glad you like the post, but could you not tag people who don't wanna be tagged about this stuff, over a fictional character? it just feels a little too harassment adjacent to me, even if you're not being disrespectful. thank you 🙏❤️

post-war togachaco <3 i like to think that toga grows her hair out because she gets a girlfriend who likes taking care of it :)

dabihawks are a perfect ship like they're a blue-red dynamic they're character foils one was the son of a hero and became a villain one was the son of a villain and became a hero they're heavy-handed societal extremes they're perfect opposites they're the exact same they're child soldiers they're animal motif coded there is so much there symbolically to justify the ship but if you asked me the real reason i enjoy them? they are insane. like they are both so freakishly mentally ill and they're dysfunctional and toxic and traumatised and they bug the fuck out of each other and they hate each other and they understand each other's morals better than anyone while still fundamentally opposing each other and i want nothing more than to put those two freaks in situations just to see who explodes the other first

not to beat a dead horse but

are we absolutely fucking sure it's 2023 rn
