As much as I do love boobs, they are entirely a social construct. I really think we need a strong revival in the free the nipple movement because the concept of topless nudity existing for some people but not others is frankly insane. The breasts of fat men, men who have gynecomastia, are allowed to be seen, despite being more or less the same anatomy as afab people with breasts. In order for an afab trans person to be topless, they must get a surgery to remove breast tissue BUT if a cis woman gets the same surgery (double masectomy) for health or personal reasons while still identifying as a woman they can NOT be topless! The enforcement of topless nudity laws is unclear, based largely on opinion and used selectively to hurt minority groups (see: the trans woman who was denied a legal gender marker change and decided to go topless as a result, then was arrested for being topless despite the fact that in the eyes of the law she was a man)

@starfleet: when

What if instead of giving us a Han Solo movie that nobody wants or cares about, Lucasfilm gives us a Chirrut and Baze origin story?

when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL  “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.

ASEXUAL SPENCER REID REBLOG IF YOU AGREE

My father found the Romney signs.  

So I one-upped him.

please give bernie the nomination so I can have petty political drama with my family again, hillary’s name won’t fit on six windows 

I want to write a fic where Lilo goes to college and her roommate is Boo from Monsters Inc. Boo is the first person to think Stitch is adorable and cuddly, and Lilo is the first person not to act like “Mike Wazowski” was a weird name for a goldfish. They get on like a house on fire which is kind of bad for Nani’s blood pressure.

But then one night they wake up in the middle of the night because something is in their closet. And the door starts to creak open so Stitch tackles whoever (whatever) is in there. They fall back into the closet, the door slams shut… and when Lilo runs over and opens it there’s nothing but an empty closet.

Then Boo tells Lilo all about this weird thing that happened to her when she was a kid, and how no one ever believed her but she knows it was real. 

And cue Lilo and Boo busting into the Monster world to rescue Stitch and wreaking mad havoc in the process.

SEE THIS IS A WORTHY SEQUEL

This needs to happen

Petition for the movie to be hand-drawn in Lilo and Stitch’s style when they’re in the human world, and computer animated once they go through the door into the monster world.

Ed is under average hight and is still considered short. Al, Roy, Ling and Riza are all taller then him even when he is fully grown.

there should be an avengers tv show but it should be filmed and executed like parks and rec

WHAT. 

but this is amazing.

NO SERIOUSLY THOUGH. This is totally amazing.

Nothing about it ain’t wonderful.

This is blowing my mind. I thought the headline was a joke at first.

I will totally read this. I’ve enjoyed his opinion columns over the years.

I have no idea who the author is, but I am here for a Mycroft Holmes novel!

Seriously they’d be such good friends. 

Having troubles with facial angles in your drawing style?

Try a 3D sculpture of your art in your own style in a free program that is simple and very easy to use.

The program is called Sculptris and is a free off-shoot program from Zbrush, that program that you keep hearing about but either takes selling your kidneys or piracy to actually use. 

If you download it and sculpt out a facial model, you can have references for your own work for all of time. No more endlessly searching Google for reference materials or twisting/rotating/flipping a drawing to see if there are flaws. And you can easily edit it to create more facial types. This way, you can make character references for any and every face and facial angle that you can think of.

The program offers mirroring right from the start, so your faces will be perfectly symmetrical. You can turn off the symmetry for things like scars or otherwise. 

It takes a little time. For instance, I downloaded the program on Christmas and, in my spare time, this took a few days of getting familiar with the program (first day) and then sculpting for a few minutes each day, mostly due to my perfectionist nature. And this one isn’t even done. I still have to mold the mouth, ears, and other smaller aspects before I consider it done. However, I was so giddy over the possibilities that I wanted to share this with my fellow artists.

From now on, I have reference for a face in my own style and will be able to create things so much easier in the future.  I hope that this helps you guys and that you have fun with it. 

I absolutely recommend Sculptris!

UH

GUYS????

This really useful oh my goodness. It takes a little figuring out, but once you get the hang of it it’s actually pretty easy. Just watch a couple youtube videos. Seeing how other people do it helps you to make sense of it.

OH BOY LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME IDIOT do you know how hard his stupid face is to figure out at different angles? DO YOU??? Now I have a 3D ref!!! AAAHH!! so excite much 3d wow very angles wow

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: sculptris is an amazing 3D modeling tool for how small it is and is a great place to start whether you just want drawing references for your characters or you actually want to get into 3D modeling.

I highly recommend it.

why do i keep laughing at the thought of female!spiderman…(spidergirl? spiderwoman?) getting caught without her mask on and the dude who catches her just goes on a rant about ‘fake geek girls’ and how ‘that costume isn’t even accurate oh my god’ and ‘comic-con was last week’

and her secret identity is saved because some dudebro in a batman t-shirt thinks he’s hot shit

imagine dating an immortal and finding a photo album of their exes who all sort of look like you dating back a century

Wow

What if the exes were all previous incarnations of you and the immortal’s been dating all of them in the hopes of getting you to remember your first life when you originally met them.

I smell a novel
