A few designs exploration for tm!Jinx's "The Toymaker" outfit for this AU. Can you guess which one I picked for the final version?

Two years before Act 2 starts, Jinx and Viktor founded "The Stellar Circus." As the name implies, it's a group they lead that makes occasional presentations using their and other academics' inventions, having the young generations as their target audience. The said project is mainly funded by the Academy of Piltover.

Jinx unintentionally made herself famous among the young Piltovians and (later) Zaunites because of her highly energetic and fun behavior when testing her new toy creations around open plazas, not to mention the creativity and innovation her toys have.

Nowadays, she's a highly famous and influential pop star, and she uses said fame to discreetly spread messages such as the abuse of power by the Enforcers over undercity people, for example; she does that through her musical presentations, in a way young citizens get the messages easier than adults.

made another in honor of season 2. everyone sucks. i love them.

To The Sea, My Love, To The Sea

A/N: For Ru, and because of her fantastic brain.

Picture taken from Pinterest.

The sand was fine and black and gritted between her toes. She didn't understand why there were so many warning signs along the roads to this beach; the horizon was beautiful, fine and spotlessly blue. The waves lapping at the shoreline were frothy and sweet, not even reaching her bare feet.

THIS MAN OBVIOUSLY WILL HAVE A SIREN SONG AHHHH

You guys missed the best part

Y'all missed the best part: HER REACTION AFTER ALL THIS

They’re in CHURCH WITH THIS LMAO

I know this is my own post, but every single time this comes across my dash I am delighted. Every single time, I re-watch the video and laugh, and then scroll down and laugh more. What a truly excellent reblog chain.

This post is chaotic good.

a bunch of viktors viktoring

Hired a moving company and they sent four strong, strapping, beautiful lads to my house to disassemble my furniture and move all my things. I loved them. I got them pizza. They told me moving company gossip. I missed them one minute after they left. My moving lads. Come back to me. You're so strong and so well trained in safe lifting

I miss my moving men they took such good care of me and they were so handsome and beautiful and strong and efficient and they wrapped all my furniture up in plastic and they loved that I got pizza for them and they knew how to safely drive the big big truck. Come back to me moving men

Moving men please come move me in your big strong arms in a way that complies with local safety regulations and the company's values

One of the men had a dangling earring and a stud, so I told him I liked his earrings. So he told me about how when he first got his ears pierced, he lost a stud and had to borrow an earring from his girlfriend to keep the hole from closing up. Well the only one she had to lend him was a dangling pink fuzzy duck. And everyone made fun of him for wearing it until they realized he didn't give a fuck what they thought. So now he always wears one stud and one dangling earring.

He told me this story while manhandling my entire couch. And I'm supposed to be normal about this? I'm bisexual

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.

past a certain note threshold on tumblr posts you unlock a bloodborne-esque insight and the strange lives of this site's users become visible to you

(x)

we fucking found them?

Ok I know we joke about this but I just went to the settings and first clicked "adjust for best performance" and then re-checked only 1 box:

"Smooth edges of screen fonts"

My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.

Y'all.

I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.

Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:

Then you'll see this:

TURN IT ALL OFF.

I turned "Show window contents while dragging" and then turned that off again. It's up to you.

FUCKING THANK YOU.

hi!!!!! i’m an actual librarian who has encountered this very situation before!!!!! and while i commend & admire op’s willingness to help another patron, this is why you really really should have a library worker, not another patron whom you don’t know, assist you with tech & information related issues in the library!!! because we are trained in how to handle this exact sort of thing

tl;dr: use proton mail. i’m not gonna gatekeep this info. it does not require a cell phone number, so it’s my go to for patrons in this situation!!! while i am acutely aware of the harm done by the digital divide & how many people are getting left behind as our world gets increasingly tech dependent, the situation is not hopeless. there ARE provisions in place to help the people most affected, and those provisions are usually wearing glasses & cardigans & sitting behind the circulation desk

librarians are not glorified bookworms!!!! we are information professionals who are highly trained in how to handle these sorts of seemingly impossible binds!!!! ask us for help!!!!!! as i always tell my patrons, that’s what i get paid the big bucks for

I love my job, but reblogging employment jelly for someone else I love.

"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess

Eight-year-old Max Alexander holds the world record as the youngest runway fashion designer. He began designing at the age of four.

These dresses are honestly fire

The one made of all the different belts is awesome

Imagine a world in which all children were handed the resources to follow their passion and creativity like this?

"This eight year old is a special prodigy!"

No, that eight year old has rich parents. Most eight year olds have this kind of talent and drive towards something. They're just poor, is all.

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.

One of my professors used to say ‘you can’t paint the girl next door, no one will believe it’
