Some Small Details For A Character Learning Sword Fighting For The First Time:

Wanna do something useful, that really does have an effect? I have been calling my reps in the Senate, Congress and State Gov.

I've been calling every single day since the election, a different issue and solution each day. It takes about 1 min per call. Hate phone calls? Email them!

My own calls on issues have ranged from Voting No on Trump's cabinet picks, his violations of the constitution and out civil rights, LGBTQ+ Rights, and his unforgivable pardoning of violent seditionists. Pick the issues that matter to you most. Make a list!

example: "Hi, I'm [ ] from [ ], and I wanted to let [Rep] know how I feel about [issue], and that they should [solution]. Thank you!" and then they take your contact info and thank u for using your voice. Be polite, and try to be succinct! One issue per call or email.

They have to listen to us. Every phone call helps me feel a little better, and is a more effective use of my voice than complaining on social media.

How am I only just learning this!?

i redrew an older OC of mine - Sebastian

i don't have much lore on him, except that he was hired to assassinate young bartender Azrael, but was unsuccessful. i hope to expand on their world soon, why he was hired to assassinate Azrael, why he failed, and what they do next.

older drawing of him and Azrael under the cut

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

that's so disgusting i love it. give me 50

even our ancestors sang Popipo

Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything that’s happened by the time the next election rolls around so I’d like to keep a running list of things as they’re happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if I’ve missed anything.

I tried drawing the inside of the cabin from slay the princess in cylindrical perspective. I did way too much hatching. I’ve learned my lesson, I won't do it again.

By the way, have I ever told you that I am good at perspective?

round, skittering, and meaty, it can't get any better than this
