Why Do Ancient Astronaut Theorists Act Like Machu Picchu Is Thousands Of Years Old? Like Bro, Cristopher

This was my very first comic outfit recreation. It's Betty Ross' standard fit from the OG 1940s Captain America comic run. The artists were kinda inconsistent in drawing her outfit, so I decided to go with her look from the first few comics that were published in 1941 (see comic panels at the end!). Let's just say that I went overboard with collecting stuff for this moodboard. 😅

The main components of this fit (hats, shirt, blazer, skirt) are from the '40s. The compact/lipstick (Coty "Flying Colors") and watch are also WWII-era. I didn't really need to include them, but they fit the wartime mood of the comics.

Searching for a purse and shoes that matched the comics got tricky, so I resorted to choosing items that were from the mid-late 1930s. I mean, it's 1941, and everyone just got out of the Great Depression, so it makes perfect sense that Betty would hang on to her nice stuff. The little gold coin/ID purse (also '30s) was absolutely not necessary, but I thought it was so cute that I had to include it in this moodboard. My excuse is that Betty needs a designated place to keep her FBI badge and other super secret stuff.

(takes off amateur historian hat) Okay, enough of that. Here are the two panels I referred to when making this moodboard. Side note: Sergeant Duffy gives Steve Rogers a hard time, partially because Steve can be such a rascally little goof in these comics. With all the pranks he and Bucky pull on ol' Sarge, I'm surprised he wasn't kicked out of the Army!

I guess dragon eggs aren’t only found in Alagaësia.

I can just see the hatchling. She might bond with someone from the first crew of astronauts who reaches the nebula if she doesn’t remain as a wild dragon. Since the picture is a false color image to show the nebula’s characteristics, our space hatchling wouldn't be pink but likely have bright white, glistening scales. Her temperament might be bold, wild, unpredictable, and even destructive at times like the cosmic forces she was born within. However, she would be steadfast and loyal like the enduring light of nebulae.

When I was lurking on Tumblr, I was amazed by all the beautiful gradient text that people had one their posts. I discovered this extremely detailed post on how to make your own, and I absolutely love Method 1. The way I add the HTML code to the post is by first writing everything out in the rich text editor. Then I switch to the HTML editor and paste the site's gradient HTML code into the part of the post that I want since the HTML formatting for that line of text is already done for you. Make sure that you only replace the text within the formatting code with the text gradient code you copied.

If you have a method that you like to use, let me know what it is and why it's your favorite! If you are in the same boat as me, I hope you'll find this resource as helpful as I did. :)

this is kinda stupid of me to ask but how do you do gradient texts?

Hello! 

[Disclaimer: To make gradient text, you have to turn off the beta option on tumblr posts] UPDATE: The beta option can no longer be turned off (presumably because they, well, rolled out whatever features were previously there in the beta). However, you can go to Settings → Dashboard → Type of dashboard (it'll be a dropdown close to the bottom) → HTML.

To make a gradient text, you basically have to convert whatever gradient you have into HTML code. [css code doesn’t work] Fortunately though, there are sites for that! You can use this site and/or this site. Here’s how they both work:

Method 1 - Patorjk’s Text Color Fader

Step 1: Enter your desired text, your colors [you can change the number of colors too; just click on the dropdown option] 

[Fade Type: I just use the default fade type, but I reckon the vertical one’s good if you want to create gradient paragraphs]

Now once you’ve clicked the “Generate Color Faded Text” button, you’ll see something like this:

Copy all of that and paste it into this site like so:

Click “Replace Text” and copy it to the clipboard, and you’re done!

Method 2 - JSFiddle 

This one’s not as “user-friendly” as the former, but it’s still pretty easy to manoeuvre around once you get the hang of it!

[When you’re done customizing, click on the “Run” button on the top left.]

Now you should see that the colors in those boxes in the run area are now your desired colors. Enter the text in the top text box as shown and click the run button next to the color boxes. Your HTML code should appear in the second text box. Copy that and you’re done!

[I’d only edit the main code if I want to add one/more colors. Otherwise you can just click the boxes in the run area and edit the colours directly from there. This supports hex codes, RGB and HSL.]

For example, I’ve done this:

Okay, now once you’ve copied your HTML code, you have to go back to tumblr and create a new post without the beta format. You should see a gear icon; click that and change the post type to HTML. [tip: customize a blank piece of text however you want (bold, italic etc.) in the Rich Text editor and then just replace that with your gradient text code in the HTML editor]

Now paste your HTML code in the text area, and you should see something like this:

[note: I just clicked on the gear icon to demonstrate what it should look like]

You can preview your text by clicking on the “preview” button to see if you got anything wrong/to see what the final result will look like, and you can add your desired tags.

And that’s really all there is to it! Here’s what my final result will look like:

Viridian: #009698 to #008b8b to #007474

[Forgot to mention, once you've got your gradient text, you can't switch back to the Rich Text editor without losing your gradient, which is why I recommend customising your text in the Rich Text Editor before switching to HTML and replacing the black text with your gradient one! Personally, I just use the header option for my text so I put the h2 tags manually at the start and end of the code so as not to create a hassle]

Reading any mentions of Murtagh's dancing skills is funny because I try to imagine him doing court dances, but because I've danced ballet for most of my life, I end up imagining him doing something crazy athletic like this
