Glenn Close

proposed thursday addition for 2020

ive seen some posts lately about drawing diversity with actually diverse features, aka instead of just having a black character, drawing the character with nigerian features or instead of just drawing a vaguely indigenous character draw them with features from a specific tribe/area and in any case i figured you might want to check out this site because its a world map where you can click anywhere and it’ll show you different human phenotypes based on region and really goes into showing many types of people. like im making a chilean character so clicked on chile and it showed me this

which pops up this and this 

its just a pretty neat website to really become better at diversifying and strengthening your character designs

Dream SMP Characters’ Worldview & Philosophies

I’ve been thinking about the differences between the way certain characters view the world and themselves, so I’ve created a meta for those who are interested.

(Note: These are extremely oversimplified and condensed for the sake of reading consumption and brevity.)

This post includes only Major Characters (Involved in 3+ Arcs). Some will have more or less points depending on how vocal or unique their perspectives are. Points are mentioned regardless of if the character has changed or shifted their worldview in later story arcs. 

Characters who share the same philosophies with others will have their names in (parentheses) beside each point. Worldviews that are entirely unique or not shared will be bolded.

Wilbur:

Loyalty should always lie with your nation. (Tubbo, Quackity)

Fight with your words, not your weapons. (Tubbo, Fundy)

Power is only gained through bloodshed. (Quackity, Technoblade)

Authority is meant to be challenged. (Tommy, Tubbo, Quackity, Technoblade, Fundy)

Revenge is a cycle that only ends when one side falls. (Ranboo, Fundy)

Personal identity and public identity should be interchangeable.

It is always better to suffer alone, than be hurt through vulnerability. (Ranboo, Technoblade)

Forgiveness is essential to peace. (Tubbo, Sam)

Identity is entirely defined by your title.

Sometimes breaking something beyond repair is better than fixing it.

Violence is always a last resort. (Tommy, Tubbo, Ranboo)

If you fail yourself, you have failed everyone.

The ends justify the means. (Quackity, Dream, Technoblade, Sam)

Trust no one. (Quackity, Dream, Technoblade, Fundy)

Speak precisely or do not speak at all. (Technoblade)

Control is imperative for survival. (Quackity)

The Camouflaged Looper: these caterpillars fashion their own camouflage by collecting flower petals/vegetation and using silk to "glue" the pieces onto their bodies

Though they're often referred to as "camouflaged loopers," these caterpillars are the larvae of the wavy-lined emerald moth (Synchlora aerata).

Camouflaged loopers deploy a unique form of self-defense -- they snip off tiny pieces of the flowers upon which they feed, then use bits of silk to attach the vegetation to their backs. This provides them with a kind of camouflage, enabling them to blend in with the plants that they eat.

Some of them create little tufts that run along their backs, while others fashion a thicker camouflage that covers their backs completely. In some cases, the camouflaged loopers will even build much larger bundles that surround their entire bodies.

Their range includes most of North America (from southern Canada down through Texas) and they can feed upon an enormous variety of plants -- so the disguises that these caterpillars build can come in countless colors, shapes, and sizes, incorporating many different flowers and other bits of vegetation.

And this is what the fully-developed moth looks like:

That’s wonderful

You dont make a wood sword! You make a wooden pickaxe and then mine 2 stone and make a stone sword smh

Jimbo Jombo. You have left me no choice. I will NOT stand an attack on my integrity.

This is a callout post on Tumblr user @dom-deserves-everything

//Content warning for himbophobia, dweeb energy, and general gross stuff.

Jimbo is usually seen by the fandom as a nice innocent person, he even calls himself "baby" according to my sources.

But in actuality he is far from baby. He is bastard. He himself admits it while in an in depth interview.

He has also repeatedly harassed me and my children, he went looking for my past art and content without my consent, and has a serious problem with admitting I'm better than him, which is despicable.

This man is out of control, and it has been going on for too long.

He is also the owner of sword, it isn't bad he's just a dweeb.

It's not even enchanted smh

And when confronted about it he is yet again, lashing out.

Calling me names, that is NOT family friendly.

This is BLATANT HIMBOPHOBIA.

Now the biggest piece of evidence against him is the infamous tale of the fart anon.

Everyone can agree this is, absolutely disgusting. But it's even worse the fact that he has drawn ART of it, and spammed me on my dms and inbox. This is a threat to my safety.

This behavior is unacceptable and he is trying to call me out to SILENCE ME so he can keep doing his fart art.

Stand against Jimbo.
