wherever you are

I love this so much.

The art style

The posing

The meaning

God this is beautiful

Sirens and a Cyclopes

I know life and fate are scary, but I want to be legendary.

HELP!!!

I have many questions about the art commissions, I've been planning on making art commissions, but as a beginner artist, I don't know how to start, for example:

1) How do you know what price range for your arts are and what are the normal prices for art commissions?

2) What type of paying method do people usually use? I've heard people mostly use PayPal

3) If I use PayPal, but I don't live in the US so technically, the currency will be different. Do I use the currency of where I live, or do I use the US currency for the price? (If PayPal can change the currency for transactions, that's great!)

4) I've heard of other websites made specifically for art commissions such as Artistree (if anyone can give me more information about this website, I would be greatful!) What other websites would be suitable for commissioning art?

5) And if people commissioned you for art, how do you submit it to them, I mean, do you send the art as Pdf File, or is there a different way to do it?

6) Can you draw other characters from different fandom as art commissions if that's what the customers want, or is it strictly OC only?

7) Is it ok for me to put rules on what I will draw, and if I said that, I only draw for upper-half body only? (Because I suck at drawing lower-body parts and feet, so I don't want to disappoint anyone)

Sorry if my English is bad, it is not my first language, but hey! My teacher said it's pretty good, so I'm proud of it :D. Anyway, if anyone could answer the question and maybe give some extra tips or advice, it would be greatly appreciated!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please reblog this so others can see too!!

i blame my lack of decisiveness on this post. I’d say get a room but I’m scared if they do.

there is no angel and devil on my shoulder. There is a Dabi and a Hawks and they're too busy kissing to tell me what to do.

Calypso: The stars are beautiful tonight.

Odysseus: You know who else is beautiful?

Calypso (blushing): Who?

Odysseus: Penelope.

Best movie idea in all of history

This is the best idea in the history of film.

No comment but this is gold. English is one hell of a language.

How To Make Your Writing Less Stiff 6

Part 5

Part 1

Adverbs

Gasp! Oh no. Dare come yet more writing advice burning adverbs at the stake? Vindictively, gleefully, manically dancing in the ashes?

No.

This is not about whether or not you should use them, but their frequency and obvious places to replace them. Most bad adverbs are the common ones that could be replaced by verbs we all know.

“She ran quickly” // “She sprinted”

“He said angrily” // “He snapped” “He chided” “He chastised”

vs.

“He ate voraciously”

“She swayed solemnly”

“She laughed sadly”

Bonus if you can add in some alliteration like ‘swayed solemnly’

If you can come up with an obvious verb to replace your verb + adverb combo, do so. If it would take more words or the closest applicable verb doesn’t hit the same vibe, then leave it. Adverbs should enhance the verb, not be redundant. Verbs shouldn’t be pretentious just to avoid them.

“She smiled happily” — most smiles are happy. Happily is redundant.

“He ran quickly” —a run is, by nature, quick

vs.

“She smiled sourly”

“He ran erratically”

Also!

The adverb need not always be after the verb.

“C accepted gladly” // “C gladly accepted”

But also

“Glad, C accepted”

“A shook their head resolutely” // “Resolute, A shook their head”

“The child skipped excitedly away.” // “Excited, the child skipped away.” // “The child skipped away, excited.”

English is flexible like that.

Which is what I mean with managing your adverb frequency. As most end in the -ly, too many in succession, on top of the repeat syntax of Subject - Verb - Adverb looks boring and dull (and so does beginning every sentence with the subject). It helps with your cadence and flow if you don’t have entire paragraphs at a time all starting with “He [verb]” or “She [verb]” or “They [verb].” We don't speak like this in natural conversation.

But at the end of the day, there are some juicy adverbs that have no equal without busting out the thesaurus for some obscure lexical nugget that no one would understand anyway.

and then Argos is just under the table, tail wagging and starry eyed.

i think argos died in the original odyssey but this is the internet so i can head-canon that athena blessed argos to only die when telemachus/ody dies

My favorite post-EPIC headcanon is that Odysseus' family is just completely accepting of all the unhinged sh*t that he's done.

Odysseus, over dinner, some 2 months after his return: And then I finned the sirens, letting them drown. We ate the tails later.

Telemachus, starry-eyed: OMG GUYS THAT'S MY DAD!! THAT IS!! MY DAD!! (points excitedly) ISN'T HE INCREDIBLE?

Odysseus: And later when he wouldn't stop being in my way I stabbed a god repeatedly with his own trident.

Penelope, heart-eyed: That's my husband. My love. Love of my life. You slay, my king.

The rest of the people at the table are 100% freaked out and probably terrified, btw.

BAHAHAHAA

Google maps/any other kind of maps app: Your only together because he’s a compass and your a worm in a paper bag (lost).

Social Media As boyfriends:

Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram: Toxic, has over Paranoia, discards your opposing views, will accuse you of cheating, spies on you 24/7, knows everything about you because he used to stalk you, doesn't care about your feelings and would spit out harsh comments.

Telegram: Allows you to do whatever you want, but he is very suspicious, maybe, because he is a criminal in disguise, yet you don't care because he is the sweetest boyfriend in the world, and treats you like a queen.

Character AI: Was really caring at first, however, over time, he began to become lazy and stopped improving himself, and also he hates violence and is an asexual.

Janitor AI: Slut.

Wattpad: You hate and love him at the same time, but in reality, you are only with him for fame.

Ao3: He loves you despite not always being by your side, and he accepts you for you even if you were weird and creepy, he doesn't mind at all.

Twitter/X: You asked him to change, but he changed to the worst.

Youtube VS Tiktok: Both fight for your attention, they will take desperate measures to make you theirs and love them only.

Tumblr: the best out of them ' I' m not saying that under the threat of gun'
