Munchycookiesx3 - Munchkin Around

OpenAI are scumbags.

This was my home in Gaza…💔

The place where my family and I lived, filling its corners with memories and dreams. But the war left us with nothing; our home was bombed 🥺, and everything we owned turned to rubble. In the blink of an eye, we lost the place that sheltered us and the security that held us together as a family.😔

Today, we urgently need your support—not only to rebuild a place we can call ‘home’ but to regain a sense of safety and stability for my family. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us start over and rebuild what the war destroyed.🙏🏻🍉🇵🇸

Thank you to everyone who supports us and stands by us during this difficult time. Your kindness is the hope that gives us strength to keep moving forward.🙏🏻❤️

Hey y’all especially those in swing states, eyes up:

CNBC

How an Elon Musk PAC is using voter data to help Trump beat Harris in 2024 election

Tesla CEO Elon Musk says he created America PAC, which collects data in swing states key to the 2024 election between Donald Trump and Kamal

The elongated muskrat has engaged in blatant election interference by putting out a fake voter registration page on Google ads with the clear intention to dupe voters into thinking they have actually registered to vote. It’s likely also a data harvesting tactic.

Hopefully this gets immediately flagged and taken down but we all know this fascist chucklefuck will not see consequences to his actions and this is something that would drag out in court. Spread the word. Only register to vote through state board or check vote.org for more resources. Do not register through anything else ESPECIALLY if it has some sort of clear motivation.

You have no idea how happy I was seeing you reply. I literally thought before taking nap to look through your blog shits and giggles. I recoiled so fast when I saw this, literally scrolling to fast. I've been grining for 5 minutes.

In all seriousness: KEEP COOKING RAAAAHHH. Thanks for the art, I'll feed off this for a few months/j

One. Your art as always so crunchy and soft, but fluffy. Like creme and yellow or something. Or Turkish pistachio cake(try it with mint tea, it's amazing🎊🎊☺️)

Two. Tomi my love, you are so beautiful and that is a blessing in itself(I imagine Douma calling it that, only reason to use it now huh?). Also, I see the 'first interaction, then falling for someone trope years later' your doing *squints eyes*

Three. I find it interesting that Enmu has a hard time bonding with kid than Douma. Reminds me of post partum depression but kinda switched(My dad didn't bond with me quickly as a baby or toddler, so I kinda get it.)

Four. I notice whenever I look for Tomi eyes they are harder to find in your black and white sketches. When I think it's their eyes, I realized that is its eye-lid. Then thought of a cool thing: if their eyes glowed, it could be seen beneath the lid. Kinda like a creepy but mystical vibe, a new way to lure in prey or something(fish like shiny light)

Tldr: great art *nom and gives fish to Tomi and therapy gift card to Enmu and Doumu.*(Why did I proof read this 6 times to be perfect??)

(One) That sounds delicious. I will be trying it as soon as possible.

(Two) I should have known something was cooking when you went through all my Tomi posts 😭 /pos

Also, with Shuumei and Tomi, while I wasn't really going in with a trope in mind, it definitely falls into it. I just imagined that a kid with no other social bonds would attach pretty quickly to whoever showed them any form of affection. Tomi never had friends or a social circle, so Shuumei is quite literally its entire world beyond its parents. If Shuumei wasn't a nicer person than they are, Tomi would be exploited very easily. That isn't to say what Tomi does struggle with in relation to Shuumei isn't difficult though. When your love interest's parents are former Hashira, you can't expect their favor. No matter how many years its been since the demon war ended.

(Three) There's a reason that Enmu bonded with Douma but not Tomi. Enmu is an inherently selfish and unempathetic person. He didn't even like Douma when he first met him, he was just using him to take over his rank. He didn't feel remorse until he realized that Douma was genuinely on his side and that Douma was aware that Enmu was using him, he just didn't care because he was desperate for the company. Douma proved many times that he was useful and reliable. He treated Enmu like he was worth being alive, even though Enmu believed the opposite. The bond that Douma earned with Enmu is one a baby never earned. Even if it is his and Douma's baby. It doesn't serve him in any way beyond the fact Tomi's birth meant Douma focused less on his depressive spiral and gave him something to live for. Very honestly, when Tomi was born, he could only conceptualize it as a tool for keeping Douma happy and alive. But he didn't want to be like that when he thought of his own mother who treated his own birth like a tool to keep his father with her (and it didn't even work). So he starts to put in the effort, but still really struggles to emotionally bond with Tomi. He just really doesn't know how to, and it makes him feel constantly inferior that Douma bonded with Tomi effortlessly when Enmu couldn't. It felt like a piece of him was broken and that whatever instinctive drive a parent was supposed to have was missing inside him. He doesn't understand his relationship to Tomi as a bond until Tomi starts developing an easily detectable personality, since Tomi stops being a lump of meat in his eyes and starts being a person he can engage with and understand.

(Four) That's interesting! Tomi actually does have light reflective eyes, though it's not quite the same as what you're thinking of. See this post.

Fun fact, Tomi's body (while it can physically eat non human meats and keep them down) can only minimally process animal meats. That is why they're so twiggy. They basically have the demon version if pica. It doesn't like how it feels to eat human meat, and often felt sick or uncomfortable as a result. So it switches to animal meats to try and find something that didn't sit so roughly in the gut. They found it but it's not nutritionally dense for a demon to eat animal meats.

If you need further help in a quick format, here is one, but i urge you to also add in the details for requiring an investigation, not just recount.

I know its a shitty situation and were tired but we still have to try to fight for a life that's worth living.

If you can blaze this post, GO FOR IT!!!

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)

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

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

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)

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)

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

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. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are 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)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

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

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

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.

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

got a major pest problem this year actually

GET KOSA TRENDING.

STOP SCROLLING NOW!

AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.

WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.

I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

Reblog this post in every LEGAL way you can under the Tumblr guidelines with the appropriate tags. TELL AND TAG EVERYONE YOU KNOW, then add the tags to see below... and more if you can think of any complying.

Visit badinternetbills.com if you want to find a way to defeat KOSA. It WILL NOT take much of your time. Reblog with any other information or sources, too-- but make sure to reblog if you can.

Reblog if you support lgbtq+ content.

Reblog if you support questioning queer youth and/or abused youth getting the information they need.

Reblog if you support Ao3 and/or other sites that wholeheartedly preserve talentedly made media.

Reblog if you're going to repost this on other sites than Tumblr and spread the word across Twitter, Tik Tok, Pinterest, or elsewhere, alongside the link to badinternetbills.com.

Reblog if you think KOSA is unfair and shouldn't be anyone's problem -- including the adults ALL OVER THE DAMN EARTH forced to face the mass censorship it causes because "think of the American Children!".

Reblog if you support internet activism and Palestine.

Reblog if you hate fascism or censorship, and don't want actually serious and helpful conversations censored on the internet.

Reblog if you value the internet in any way at all whatsoever.

We won't let this stand any longer. Let's start a riot and get this trending.

Thank you Derek, menswear guide, for reminding me why paying more to be free advertising for brands is dumb.
