award-winning palestinian children's illustrator baraa awoor writes:

"what use is it to be an illustrator of children's books when the world has sentenced the children of your country to the death penalty, to vanish, to genocide?"

some of baraa's illustrations:

this is an illustration for youssef, whose mother is remembered running desperately into the hospital asking if anyone had seen a "small white boy with beautiful curly hair, his name is youssef," a description which was remembered by millions when she finally identified his body:

this illustration is for young omar, who was hugging his little brother and teaching him how to repeat the shahada after him (a prayer spoken by muslims before their death) as he lay on his hospital bed:

"we want a new year that doesn't kill us or our children, we want it a year without blood, without screaming, without pain, we want a new attempt to get our lives back, or something that resembled our life, even if life is a lie we still cling to it, return life to us—a new year's card unlike any other year:"

all my advice about using real athletes to learn drawing bodies beyond hard abs, and my particular pref being wrestlers, also applies to women btw. you can draw women who r strong and not an hourglass shape. fucking do it.

kris statlander, rhea ripley (look at her SHAPE), willow nightingale, ruby soho, these r just four off the top of my head that have obvious musculature and different body types. skye blue and julia hart have more slim cheerleader style bodies as well, i REALLY wanted to put emi sakura who is fucking STOUT (adoring) in this post but i couldn't find a good demonstrative pic, the list goes on

DRAW DIFFERENT BODIESSSSSSSS

Happy 29th Birthday, Melanie Martinez!! 🎂🎉🎀🩷

I feel is my responsability to share this. As a "little" huh heads up.

Most of us are recurring to VPNs and the like, and it's true people are disappearing. On top of that, there have been instances of usamericans literally tagging venezuelan authorities when they see a venezuelan trying to share info about the protests and the situation. I wish i was lying.

Anyways, I just feel the need to share awareness somehow.

And the last part being the princesses and the ugly ass groom

had the potenial idea for evil!bonnie au that helpi (not evil) acompanies the rebel gang but is of course very by the book and is a bit against evil!bonnie just walking around freely and destroying things JHSDFGD

I'm so excited!!! I really needed this to break out of my artist block (and I've only published a sketch... 💀)

Welcome to our very first...

☆ Hosted by yours truly, the Helpy Staff™. A month long event with prompts for each day, where you can post your art and/or fanfictions for each theme, staring our favourite boy, Gregory! Be it Canon Gregory or your version of him from your AUs! ☆

"But Helpy Staff™, it's still July?" You may find yourself asking. And you'd be correct! We are releasing this 4 months earlier, so that little goobers like yourself don't have to stress over drawing a prompt every day and can prepare and queue up your art! As we made this event for fun and fun only, not to challenge yourself to exhaustion (though you can certainly try! We simply do not recommend it).

First and foremost, the rules! Please make sure to read through them properly and follow them thoroughly!

Absolutely no sexual nsfw

No heavy gore and angst. This is not Goretober/Whumptober. Small amounts like basic fnaf level (zombies and basic death) are okay

If you wanna participate you are not required to do all 31 days. You can pick and choose

All art/fics have to contain Gregory in some way, but can have other fnaf characters

Make sure to post your art/fic and @ the Gregaverse blog and tag #gregaverse and #gregtober

Don’t stress about this! It’s all about having fun and creating cool stuff! Please don’t pressure yourself into quickly finishing stuff. That’s why we are releasing the prompts now, so you have months of prep

HAVE FUN
