Tears Fill My Eyes As I Read The Words On My Screen. The World Seems To Stop Spinning For The Slightest

Tears Fill My Eyes As I Read The Words On My Screen. The World Seems To Stop Spinning For The Slightest

Tears fill my eyes as I read the words on my screen. The world seems to stop spinning for the slightest second as I re-read the anonymous message over and over again, gripping on to the hope that the words will magically disappear. But they didn’t. Anon had done it; they’d figured out that the only way to make me take off my hijab was to call my hair ugly. My one weakness.

A tear streams down my left cheek.

Eight years of academy hijab training…wasted. I had to prove this extremely relevant and good-looking anonymous person wrong, I cared too much about what they thought. How could I live my life knowing that there is one person out there who thinks probably my hair is ugly maybe? How could I look myself in the mirror? How could I face my family? My shoulders shook as I cried silently, and my chair squeaked ever so slightly at the vibrations; as if it, too, was crying in sorrow.

It wasn’t until that moment that the second part of the message dawned on me… how would I prove them wrong without breaking the rules? Was it really against the rules? I reach into my hijab and pull out a scroll. At the very top, in cursive jet-black inked letters, the word ‘Rules’ stares back at me. My heart is racing as my eyes frantically read the scroll.

‘Rule #1: no killing people,’ it reads. I let out a whimper. There go my evening plans. 

Suddenly, my eye catches the next words. The scroll is rustling in my trembling hands as I turn my face away, tears spraying out of my eyes like the spit of a white person as they try to justify racism. The cursive words felt more like a curse of words, vivid and refusing to disappear as if I were still staring at them even through my closed eyes.

Rule #2: don’t show ur hair girl it’s ugly lmaooooo

How do you go about drawing chunks of patterns maybe like embroidery detail, like the shirt and socks when you did the commission for Sleebyfrog's Cato?

Hey! So I actually did a small tutorial on lace drawing a while ago! However here’s another lil info dump about lace garments in particular! (With another, more simple method on drawing large chunks of lace!)

(Also in reference to the Cato piece I did a while back- Sleebyfrogs actually designed the lace for that themselves! So you may need to ask them if ur more interested in the way that looked!)

My dad loves minecraft and is currently building, legit, the entire city of Philadelphia just because. Today he sent me his save and while the whole thing would take days to explore (and it’s not even remotely close to be finished), I’ve taken some screenshots of my favorite stuff:

Aerial shot of just SOME of the city he built ALONE (obviously with minimal cloning bc like… all the buildings are different)

And my favorite…

My Dad Loves Minecraft And Is Currently Building, Legit, The Entire City Of Philadelphia Just Because.

THIS is a news channel… he made it NOT by making a custom texture pack, but by creating freehand pixel art on a massive scale at the precise size of a minecraft map, then mapping it, then putting it in an item frame. He told me he’s done stop signs and some street signs using the same method, but I legit couldn’t find them because the city is that massive 

Please note the crawl…. for those who can’t make it out, it reads “Trump convicted of tax fraud… world ok now…”

Bonus street layout for parts he hasn’t done yet (this goes on for chunks):

little art tip: the position of the ears on a human does a lot to communicate the angle of the head—whether it’s tilted forward or back.

tilted back with the chin forward, the ears are going to look lower down, closer to the mouth; tilted forward with the chin tucked, the ears look higher up & more in line with the eyes.

thinkpiece: The Millenials have cultivated a nihilistic, absurdist brand of satirical humor as a response to a cultural environment where 

the traditional social order has collapsed into chaos because of rapid technological advancement, economic downturn, and endless war (much like the dadaists after WWI)

sincere admissions of despair are seen as somewhere between embarrassing and obnoxious and the only acceptable way to express negative emotion is by disguising it in witty, share-able quips

violence, sex, and profanity have become commonplace in the media and the only remaining frontier of shock value is absolute nonsense like “while you were having premarital sex i was dehydrating tangerines. While You Wasted Your Days At The Gym In Pursuit Of Vanity I Was In Hospital With Scurvy”
