I bet the Joker has a normal nice looking suburban house except everywhere you look are just the “laugh” parts of “live laugh love” decor, like ten completely different “laugh” throw pillows.
if you are dealing with extreme heat or even just. moderate heat in your area right now. 80f/26c is when it starts getting toasty for a lot of people. if you are in a heat wave and you have not done yourself the favor of googling fucking “heat exhaustion symptoms” i am shaking you violently right now. look it up. burn the symptoms into your brain. heatstroke is no joke and it can and WILL sneak up on you before you’re aware it’s even an issue. ohh my god
if you are outside and it is hot and sunny and you are sweating thru your clothes or feeling tired or starting to get irrationally agitated or upset in another way or feeling nauseous or your heart is pounding etc etc if you are feeling Weird and Bad for no apparent reason while you are in a warm/hot area then i have news for you! you need to cool down! right now! oh my god.
and there’s a very good chance that you’re gonna think “it’s not heat exhaustion, i don’t feel any warmer than i have all day” when you consider it as a reason why you are suddenly feeling weirdbad for no apparent reason during a record-breaking heatwave and i would like to say. there is no harm in sitting in the shade and drinking some water even if heat exhaustion isn’t the cause of whatever ailment is inflicting itself upon u. once i swore up and down to my bf that i was just kinda tired and headachy and got bitchy about the possibility of being overheated and needing to drink water. because heat exhaustion tends to make you bitchy. but i did as he asked and drank some cold water and my condition immediately improved. because it was heat exhaustion and heat exhaustion is evil and a liar. sit down. drink water
Fun trivia the final straw that lead my mom to homeschool me was getting heat exhaustion in a 4th grade classroom. I don’t even remember it well but she said I was red faced and babbling. The school nurse didn’t recognize it and apparently the teacher thought I was acting silly and dramatic about the heat
I wish we did have that though. I mean there’s languages out there where the way you say “I” in a given conversation can indicate you think you’re above whoever you’re talking to and it can make you look like an asshole?? That RULES.
once someone saw me talking enthusiastically about someone else’s drawing of a bug person, and they asked me if I’d ever heard of Coelary, the graphic novel about bug people, which i wrote and drew and self-published. it was lovely
you want to help stop tumblr from murdering itself? here’s how!
click this link and go to the support page, then click “contact support”
click on the category list and click on feedback
now you need to tell staff WHY putting in an algorithm will cause the site to fucking die, and be sure to be detailed and not a dick in it. theyre not gonna listen to feedback calling them assholes
i encourage you to reblog this so we can get as many people leaving feedback as humanly possible. we need to let staff know this is an utterly terrible idea
by the way, tumblr has turned off asks on all of their staff blogs, so this is the only way to tell tumblr how you feel
Had a dream where there was a new species of shark found, it was a very very large deep sea shark with a dark grey colouring and it had massive eyes. Not comically so but the eyes were the size of small plates and the pupils on the eyes were about half the diameter of the whole eye so you could see clearly when the shark looked around. And look around it did! It gave me the creeps, I was underwater in near-complete darkness in the dream and the shark swam into the small amount of light I was hanging out in
sad news today. Beeftongue, slug beloved, is no more. it lived just over a year, a good long time for a Florida leatherleaf, and tasted dozens of lettuces and other delicious vegetation beyond any slug’s dreams. found under a fallen stop sign in Miami, I was honored to share some time with this awesome beast.
farewell, Beef.
Beeftongue is survived by Bupkis, who continues to stubbornly exist despite being over 2, and all of its brood
I’ve shared this story before, but some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten was from a writing professor who said, “The thing that makes your work interesting isn’t the stuff you’re good at, it’s the stuff you struggle with. Because you’ll either focus on improving those skills until you’re really good or you’ll figure out how to work around it in really cool ways.”
I honestly can’t count how many times I thought someone’s art style was much more fun to look at before they felt they had improved on it. I know people even feel that way about my stuff, too, and I 100% get why, too, though the truth is, the way I used to do my art was the harder and more stressful way! The pencil stuff was grueling! In going from black and white hand-drawn to full color digital I wasn’t “upgrading” to a style I thought was necessarily superior; I like a lot of stuff about it less, but I accepted essentially *downgrading* for the sake of being able to do more work without killing my wrists or using up more of my limited lifespan!
It’s an old observation but the secret sauce that makes JJBA work is that a guy can show up with a stand that has the power to sever their opponents’ legs at 100 yards and the protagonists will just cobble together new legs out of bicycle parts and athletic tape and kick the guy’s ass immediately, whereas the guy whose stand power is causing toilets to flush clockwise is an existential threat to all human life and defeating him might take up years’ worth of the manga
To give an example, there is an actual, real Jojo villain whose power is “if you follow them, things bump into you”. That’s it.
Mr. Bump’s arc took iirc two years and many people considered it pretty hype.
