its so obvious its a publicity stunt or something. boosting this despite being australian because more people need to see this.

I really do hope that people stick to this 'I'm not going to praise Trump if he brings TikTok back' thing because not only did he support it's banning in the first place, but he just wants to gain support from more people and be idolized in the media. It's the start of his second presidency, it's a distraction you shouldn't fall for.

He's still a billionaire, he is still a Zionist, he is still a fascist, transphobe, homophobe, a FELON, and plenty more.. I assure you, you do not want to support this man in any way shape or form. do not start praising him for bringing back TikTok if he succeeds.

It's so blatantly obvious too,, because this TikTok ban is all over the media. doing something that big and taking all the credit for himself is exactly the type of publicity boost that he needs to gain more support from Gen Z, and you need to remember not to not only ignore that he did it, but refuse to interact with any posts praising him for it. maga is gonna go INSANE over this and you need to stay away from their influence

good luck those who moved from tiktok to tumblr,, remember that activism and awareness shouldn't stop now that tiktok is gone 🙏

BRO THATS WAY SIMPLER THAN HOW I GOT INTO HIM 😭

I was going through my Breakfast Club obsession so I looked up a playlist with all the songs and since White Wedding was on there it came on and I started listening to it on repeat 😭😭

how did you get into billy idol

One of my irl friends showed me some of his songs :3

Caged Wings Had this idea in my head for a while now. Finally gave it a go. Though my original idea was of a caged tiger, it somehow became birds as I sketched. Maybe I'll make another version with a tiger in the future~ Here's a quick timelapse. The full hours long 6 recording sessions for this painting, plus HD image and PSD file will be DMed on Patreon.com/Yuumei on April 5th.

Sometimes Gatekeeping Is Good!

Okay but fr I think mild gatekeeping in alternative subcultures is okay, because I think we shouldn't just let anyone in.

I don't think a Trump supporter should be able to say they're a punk and I don't think someone who sees goth as PURELY "egirl" fashion should be allowed to call themselves goth. Idk if this makes me sound like an asshole but imo if you don't regularly listen to the music or aren't aware of the history/movement behind a subculture, you aren't in it.

I do think there is a level of gatekeeping that is too far but my brain can't put it into words rn if you understand.

“If dad can’t come and see me then why can’t I go and see him?” he asked. What could I say? “I think he’s very busy getting settled in America. I’m sure he’ll be in touch soon.” But as time passed with no word Julian drew his own conclusions. “Dad’s always telling people to love each other,” he said to me one day, “but how come he doesn’t love me?” - Cynthia Lennon, John: A Biography

oh my god i wanna be on top of him

i don't know if i'm trans but i've realised i'm uncomfortable with my body and i feel the same way as you wearing feminine clothes, i just pretend i'm a femboy tbh

PRO TIP FOR TRANS MEN: if you are forced to wear hyperfeminine clothing or makeup and that makes you dysphoric, but you’re not out yet/in a position safe enough to come out, here’s how I make the situation LESS uncomfortable. this is what works for me and is not guaranteed to work for you at all.

Anyways… pretend you’re in drag. Just go all out. Wear heavy makeup and dramatic eyeliner or the most feminine dress you have and just pretend it’s drag even if it’s NOT. Just pretend. Note that this may not work if your dysphoria with makeup and feminine clothing is VERY strong. Mines is mediocre discomfort, as I could probably wear dresses just fine if I had a flag chest.

someone sent me this on discord today too😭😭

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
