Something I've Always Been Interested In Is The Wof Constalations. They Have Different Moons, A Different

"Aro/Ace person gets given a love potion" story but instead of them being immune or whatever, it DOES work, and they realize IMMEDIATELY that they've been fed a love potion because this feeling is so wrong and foreign but everyone keeps laughing off the idea of it being a love potion because "they were probably just a late bloomer" or "no, you just finally found the right person!" and it's just a horror story about how no one believes them even though they know, they KNOW this isn't right and they can't stand it.

MADE MY FIRST WIRE WRAP!

Any ideas for some fun wings of fire designs or dragon things? I'm really proud of this and would love to make something wof related like a small eye of onyx or something

Please share your thoughts with me. This is a really cool craft I want to explore.

Show, don’t tell

"Show, don’t tell" means letting readers experience a story through actions, senses, and dialogue instead of outright explaining things. Here are some practical tips to achieve that:

1. Use Sensory Details

Tell: "The room was cold."

Show: "Her breath puffed in faint clouds, and she shivered as frost clung to the edges of the window."

Tell: "He was scared."

Show: "His hands trembled, and his heart thudded so loudly he was sure they could hear it too."

2. Focus on Actions

Tell: "She was angry."

Show: "She slammed the mug onto the counter, coffee sloshing over the rim as her jaw clenched."

Tell: "He was exhausted."

Show: "He stumbled through the door, collapsing onto the couch without even bothering to remove his shoes."

3. Use Dialogue

What characters say and how they say it can reveal their emotions, intentions, or traits.

Tell: "She was worried about the storm."

Show: "Do you think it'll reach us?" she asked, her voice tight, her fingers twisting the hem of her shirt.

4. Show Internal Conflict Through Thoughts or Reactions

Tell: "He was jealous of his friend."

Show: "As his friend held up the trophy, he forced a smile, swallowing the bitter lump rising in his throat."

5. Describe the Environment to Reflect Mood

Use the setting to mirror or hint at emotions or themes.

Tell: "The town was eerie."

Show: "Empty streets stretched into the mist, and the only sound was the faint creak of a weathered sign swinging in the wind."

6. Let Readers Infer Through Context

Give enough clues for the reader to piece things together without spelling it out.

Tell: "The man was a thief."

Show: "He moved through the crowd, fingers brushing pockets, his hand darting away with a glint of gold."

7. Use Subtext in Interactions

What’s left unsaid can reveal as much as what’s spoken.

Tell: "They were uncomfortable around each other."

Show: "He avoided her eyes, pretending to study the painting on the wall. She smoothed her dress for the third time, her fingers fumbling with the hem."

8. Compare to Relatable Experiences

Use metaphors, similes, or comparisons to make an emotion or situation vivid.

Tell: "The mountain was huge."

Show: "The mountain loomed above them, its peak disappearing into the clouds, as if it pierced the heavens."

Practice Example:

Tell: "The village had been destroyed by the fire."

Show: "Charred beams jutted from the rubble like broken ribs, the acrid smell of ash lingering in the air. A child's shoe lay half-buried in the soot, its leather curled from the heat."

They De-Tumblrized Ms. Frizzle

OH HELLO!!!

What a wonderful design, such sharp angles and interesting color choice. The shading and the detailing, and the ear shape. This looks amazing!

Frigid needed an icon in a pinch, so more stuff with a base.

Please do not use our art without our permission. Feel free to ask to use for icons and similar things, but we have the right to say no.

Oh wow this design is very nice. I like how the hands look like hands, the feet look like feet, but they still look simple enough to draw

Darkstalker the Nightwing

#ToucanTuesday:

Art Deco Toucan Bookends by Hippolyte François Moreau (1832-1927), France, 1920s. Bronze sculptures on marble base, H 5.12 in (13 cm) x W 6.3 in (16 cm) x D 3.15 in (8 cm) each.

Not exactly sremon but I had a reoccurring glitch where when I entered the church or whatever it's called so that I could perform a sermon, I would enter twice. Just walk in, get dragged back, and walk in again. If I reached the alter in the first entrance and interacted with it, I would be able to walk through walls when re-entering. In order to fix this I had to leave the game and rejoin. Strange but was fixed with the sex update I think.

It's always important to take care of yourself and avoid stress, so don't feel obligated to do it, the idea is to have fun!

Redrew an adopt I got from @sinusoidaldysfunction.

This was the guy.

I really like this guy. One of the things I struggle with the most in art is color. Color just doesn't make sense to me so I found that working with a color palette someone else gave me was a lot of fun.

Edit: for got the at on the original makers name
