Hey Guys Do You Ever Think About Gravity Falls Amd Camp Camp Crossover?

Sharing some building and area layouts I made to help other artists create backgrounds and storyboards for the Sleepy Peak region!

The mess hall’s weird dimensions were used as a visual joke for some shots. One of my favorite mistakes that became canon was the windows on the inside wall of the messhall were real and could open to the outside. EVEN THOUGH the QM’s store should have blocked that wall. The Team Team was pretty sure the QM is a time lord. The store is probably his tardis.

The spooky island mansion had rooms we never saw but only talked about conceptually 😂 I wish we could’ve had some more opportunities to see more of Camp Camp’s strange landmarks. You can’t spell explore without LORE. 👀✨

Lil’ update on the Harrison figure

I promise it looks better in person

Haven’t worked on it much more cause I’m having difficulty with the clay being too soft to make the arms look right on the body.

I think I’ll have to add holes in the joint areas then bake the body to do the arms and legs. Scary stuff since I would have to restart the body if it ends up messing up

This has caused me to procrastinate finishing it :’)

Another issue with the clay is that it fucking 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘵𝘴 both thin plastics and the varnish off of tables if it sits there long enough 😀

So that’s fun. Luckily it doesn’t effect parchment paper

Juni Ba Jason Todd. Jason Todd, please give me one chance. I'll hand you everything and anything you want 🙏

I know people tend to give short-haired Jason Todd designs some grief, but I think the look is growing on me. I like to think that this Jason is a little bit of a zombie- he's a little paler than before, his injuries scar easier than they heal (no matter how small), and he still has his pre-death injuries. He's unrecognisable otherwise. The pit tried. It brought back his mind and that's good enough 💔

The angst potential though?

Red Hood takes off the helmet in his big dramatic reveal, and Batman, who was expecting to see Jason Todd (albeit an older version he imagined up in his mind), doesn't recognise his face at all. Bruce, for a moment, is shocked that he might have gotten it all wrong. That the Red Hood isn't Jason Todd. (Nevermind the conflicting swirl of emotions that arise from that!)

When Bruce really looks, he finally sees it in the scars. There's newer ones, of course, but they're overlaid atop old, recognisable scars. Scars that Bruce once thought was etched into the back of his lids because at that time, he swore he had stared at the pictures in Jason's autopsy report for longer than he ever had Jason in his life (if only to torture himself over his self-perceived failures)

And realises, oh God, that is Jason.

also, the all caste blades' original marking covered the autopsy scar i wanted on Jason 💔 so even though the original design is so sick, I drew it on his arms instead. It's a bit scuffed and unfinalised 😭 Wack ramblings in all my posts I'm sorry

A general cane guide for writers and artists (from a cane user, writer, and artist!)

Disclaimer: Though I have been using a cane for 6 years, I am not a doctor, nor am I by any means an expert. This guide is true to my experience, but there are as many ways to use a cane as there are cane users!

This guide will not include: White canes for blindness, crutches, walkers, or wheelchairs as I have no personal experience with these.

This is meant to be a general guide to get you started and avoid some common mishaps/misconceptions, but you absolutely should continue to do your own research outside of this guide!

The biggest recurring problem I've seen is using the cane on the wrong side. The cane goes on the opposite side of the pain! If your character has even-sided pain or needs it for balance/weakness, then use the cane in the non-dominant hand to keep the dominant hand free. Some cane users also switch sides to give their arm a rest!

A cane takes about 20% of your weight off the opposite leg. It should fit within your natural gait and become something of an extension of your body. If you need more weight off than 20%, then crutches, a walker, or a wheelchair is needed.

Putting more pressure on the cane, using it on the wrong side, or having it at the wrong height will make it less effective, and can cause long term damage to your body from improper pressure and posture. (Hugh Laurie genuinely hurt his body from years of using a cane wrong on House!)

(an animated GIF of a cane matching the natural walking gait. It turns red when pressure is placed on it.)

When going up and down stairs, there is an ideal standard: You want to use the handrail and the cane at the same time, or prioritize the handrail if it's only on one side. When going up stairs you lead with your good leg and follow with the cane and hurt leg together. When going down stairs you lead with the cane, then the good leg, and THEN the leg that needs help.

Realistically though, many people don't move out of the way for cane users to access the railing, many stairs don't have railings, and many are wet, rusty, or generally not ideal to grip.

In these cases, if you have a friend nearby, holding on to them is a good idea. Or, take it one step at a time carefully if you're alone.

Now we come to a very common mistake I see... Using fashion canes for medical use!

(These are 4 broad shapes, but there is INCREDIBLE variation in cane handles. Research heavily what will be best for your character's specific needs!)

The handle is the contact point for all the weight you're putting on your cane, and that pressure is being put onto your hand, wrist, and shoulder. So the shape is very important for long term use!

Knob handles (and very decorative handles) are not used for medical use for this reason. It adds extra stress to the body and can damage your hand to put constant pressure onto these painful shapes.

The weight of a cane is also incredibly important, as a heavier cane will cause wear on your body much faster. When you're using it all day, it gets heavy fast! If your character struggles with weakness, then they won't want a heavy cane if they can help it!

This is also part of why sword canes aren't usually very viable for medical use (along with them usually being knob handles) is that swords are extra weight!

However, a small knife or perhaps a retractable blade hidden within the base might be viable even for weak characters.

Bases have a lot of variability as well, and the modern standard is generally adjustable bases. Adjustable canes are very handy if your character regularly changes shoe height, for instance (gotta keep the height at your hip!)

Canes help on most terrain with their standard base and structure. But for some terrain, you might want a different base, or to forego the cane entirely! This article covers it pretty well.

Many cane users decorate their canes! Stickers are incredibly common, and painting canes is relatively common as well! You'll also see people replacing the standard wrist strap with a personalized one, or even adding a small charm to the ring the strap connects to. (nothing too large, or it gets annoying as the cane is swinging around everywhere)

(my canes, for reference)

If your character uses a cane full time, then they might also have multiple canes that look different aesthetically to match their outfits!

When it comes to practical things outside of the cane, you reasonably only have one hand available while it's being used. Many people will hook their cane onto their arm or let it dangle on the strap (if they have one) while using their cane arm, but it's often significantly less convenient than 2 hands. But, if you need 2 hands, then it's either setting the cane down or letting it hang!

For this reason, optimizing one handed use is ideal! Keeping bags/items on the side of your free hand helps keep your items accessible.

When sitting, the cane either leans against a wall or table, goes under the chair, or hooks onto the back of the chair. (It often falls when hanging off of a chair, in my experience)

When getting up, the user will either use their cane to help them balance/support as they stand, or get up and then grab their cane. This depends on what it's being used for (balance vs pain when walking, for instance!)

That's everything I can think of for now. Thank you for reading my long-but-absolutely-not-comprehensive list of things to keep in mind when writing or drawing a cane user!

Happy disability pride month! Go forth and make more characters use canes!!!

Part 2 of him being happy and doing this

via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.

Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Muack ate their own child for no other reason than to exert dominance?
