“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

Things I didn’t know

So, pretty frequently writers screw up when they write about injuries. People are clonked over the head, pass out for hours, and wake up with just a headache… Eragon breaks his wrist and it’s just fine within days…...

Let’s say you wanted to glue fabric to wood, but what do you use? What about glass to paper? This to That lets you choose two things you want to glue and lists what types of glue is best. (Because people have a need to glue things to other things!)

This is an incredibly awesome site.  Go check it out!

Whhhhaaaaaattt!???

I NEVER THOUGHT I NEEDED THIS IN MY LIFE BUT I DO

This began as a guide to describing Afro/curly hair but of course, I got carried away. From look and texture of hair, colors and various styles, this guide serves as a thesaurus of sorts for hair, as well as pointers for use in your writing.

FOR ARTISTS AND WRITERS WHO NEED IT IT’S AMAZING

I know some of you need this! (you don’t need to have giant or tiny characters either. it’s a great ref for everyone!)

Holy shit

If you're an artist looking to diversify your faces:

Natural Black Hair Tutorial! Usually Black hair is excluded in the hair tutorials which I have seen so I have gone through it in depth because it’s really not enough to tell someone simply, “Black hair is really curly, draw it really curly.” 

The next part of Black Hair In Depth will feature styles and ideas for designing characters and I will release it around February. If you would like to see certain styles, please shoot me a message!

YES! BOOSTINGGGG FOR MY FOLKS WHO WANNA/NEED TO KNOW HOW

if you, like me, get so angry when discussing or debating current issues with ignorant/bigoted people that you can’t articulate your thoughts, here is a list of arguments i’ve seen so far defending darren wilson or going against the ferguson protests, with suggestions as to how to counter and links to helpful posts to support your argument:

1. “It’s not a race issue!”

2. “The officer feared for his life. It was self defense.”

3. “Michael Brown stole from a convenience store. He was a thug and a thief.”

4. “The jury saw all the evidence, they know better.”/Something about insufficient/unreliable evidence.

5. “The riots and protests are out of hand and unnecessary. It’s just an excuse to be violent and steal things.”

6. “You can’t fight violence with violence, what would Martin Luther King say?”

If after all this, they’re still arguing in defense of Darren Wilson or the jury, just give up because there’s no way you can change the mind of such a complete fucking bigot.

Some masterposts I used that also have more information: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 

If there’s anything I should add or fix, please let me know

holy shit thank you op

Beyond this, consider how these professions might vary depending on who the customers are - nobles, or lower class. Are they good at their job or just scraping by? Do they work with lots of other people or on their own? City or village?

If a catastrophe caused the Internet to crash, there are 7 people in the world who have keycards that can reboot the system when all 7 keys are used together. Source

It’s getting to the point where technology is indistinguishable from magic. "Oh, no, the MASSIVE INTANGIBLE LIBRARY OF INFORMATION which allows humans all over the planet to communicate and share information has ceased functioning! Call upon the seven sages whom hold the artifacts which will repair it!"

Dude its even better than that, they have to journey to a certain location in america to combine their codes into the Master Code which can revive the internet.

it’s like kingdom hearts

SEVEN KEYS TO RULE THEM ALL

Commonly confused medieval weapons, a powerpoint by me.

Now stop screwing them up, seriously, or I will put a medieval weapon in your head.

Tumblr is endearing me to being lectured at in Comic Sans

THIS is a WAR SCYTHE, a scythe actually used in combat. Notice it is not a useless piece of shit and is an actual functional weapon.

The only reason why death is pictured with a FARMING scythe is because he harvests souls.

Overall this is an excellent post, but if you’re trying to show how NOT spiky maces are you probably should have used a different picture because, frankly, that mace looks kinda spiky.

I could watch this for hours. 

Ooooooooooh. A dark-haired martial arts expert who looks like a model??? Carrying a big stick. I’d love to be that stick somehow.

Just reblogging this for… drawing reference… #yeeees

Oh, yes.  Um... Definitely pose references.

Definitely.

NEW AVAILABLE ART PROGRAM

It seems to be a mix between SAI and photoshop, simplified. It even has a stabalizer that works even with the mouse.

Best of all, it’s free, and works for both Mac and Windows.

To give it a try, head right on down to http://firealpaca.com/

Reblogging for artsy people that follow me. Also a lovely name for a program.

The link above doesn’t work but here is an alternate link! The program itself is legit as I just checked it really fast myself.

Simple, but useful. Followers, see if you like! The download’s about 9MB, the program itself about 34MB.

I think this will help out those of you seeking a free art program that you don’t need to pirate or crack (:

Signal boost signal boost signal boost! (I'm just haping the application isn't in French, like the download title...)
