digital drawing of the thorn and the protagonist from slay the princess. they are both seen from the side, facing eachother with their foreheads nearly touching, their hands locked with the blade held between them. both of them are drawn with a tail intertwining the other's. the background is loosely sketched thorny vines surrounding and framing the pair.

the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

if you want me to consume a new media you MUST catch me at the exact moment when the stars are aligned and the air pressure is equal to the current degree of the sun’s peak against the horizon and all the cosmic energies are perfectly unified (aka my old interest is fading out) or i will nod and say “im adding that to my list!” Knowing theres no chance i will check it out

You know what’s some crazy $hit?

This fabulous bitch

image

She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense).  I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen.  Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs

image

or for full on fight sequences

image

or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.  

image

this bitch hooked me up.  

And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like

image

or this

or this

DUDE!  INASNE SHIT!!  So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash.  Lemme dole it out for her.  BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!!  This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.  

I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock.  You’re worth it.  

Check out this amazing woman’s stuff, and get knowledged:  https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!

Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.

There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.

I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:

a screenshot of an AO3 comment left by a guest with the username AVAAntares. The comment reads, 'This fanfic is proof that not everyone should be allowed to write. It's that bad.'

Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.

The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.

The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.

If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.

A screenshot of AO3 Privacy settings. The button next to 'Only registered users can comment' has been selected.

Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.

[The Road Trip Thread]

The Narrator standing in front of a Shuttle Bus with yellow text on it reading "TSP Road trip Thread" in all caps. He has his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he says the following.

"Welcome, fans of the Stanley Parable on Tumblr, to a thread announcement"

In smaller text below, reads in parenthesis: "(Oswin has given me temporary access to his account to help make this announcement. So, please turn off all cell phones and other electronic devices unless they are being used to view this announcement.)"
The Narrator's eyes open as he looks into the camera smiling. His right hand is now open, while his left arm is behind his back as he speaks. 

"Summer is quickly approaching, and as such, what better time to get out of our offices and into the lush outdoors that we've been narrating for a considerable amount of time."

"Me and Oswin are planning a road trip of sorts that you are more than welcome to attend with us. All you simply have to do is pack your things and meet us by the bus here for us to go."

In parenthesis and in smaller text: "(All accommodations are being covered by us!) (If you get a call saying that your swimming pool has been sold however, that is a scam, Pay it no mind.) (besides, you probably have two more. surely you can afford another.)"
The Narrator puts his right hand behind his back, and his left hand pulls out a paper. He looks at the paper and says:

"Once most people arrive, we will pass around an itinerary of our plans for this trip and potential places we will visit. it will be up to you on whether you want to follow a group in doing an activity, or wandering off and doing whatever you wish. We're simply here to take you all to these places and let you enjoy your vacation however you see fit!"

"However, you are always welcome to stay at the accommodation rented out for us if you choose to not participate in any event."

"(Stanley's working on the itinerary as we speak, he's surprisingly good at graphic design!)"
The Narrator drops his arms to his side with a sigh, he looks at the camera tiredly with sweat down his face as he says:

"... Alright, speaking plainly to you all unrelated to the plot in any capacity now, this is just a trend where you can draw or write Stanley Parable characters in different locations doing whatever you see fit. You can follow the trip-itinerary prompts or not, im not your boss im not in charge of your story. Im simply the messenger this time around unfortunately."

"The same goes with the first thread where its the characters getting ready. Tie them to the bus, get them in tourist-like outfits, draw them in the bus, draw them packing their bags, draw them taking a selfie, do whatever. Again, im not your boss."

"The prompt itinerary will come later in the coming weeks. The reason why we're doing the first part early is simply to give everyone time to do something for this. Whether its art or fanfiction or whatever."
The Narrator clears his throat with a cough.

"*Ahem.* With all that being said. We will be sending out the itinerary on May 27th, 2024. The prompts wont start until July 7th, 2024. That way you all can have some time to pre-prepare anything or think about the prompts in advance."

"If you need a single tag to work under, #tsproadtripthread or #tsproadtrip will work just fine. Feel free to collaborate with other artists, but again, im not your boss. This is not isolated to Narrators and Stanleys. Timekeepers, Curators, Mariellas, 432's, Buckets, Jims, Players, and any kind of Stanley Parable characters are welcome"

"(And nothing here is canon to any lore. This is all in good fun and for good vibes.) (Consider this a pocket dimension, one-shot, filler episode arc. Vacation AU perhaps)"
The Narrator looks back at the camera, crossing his arms and smiling.

"And that's the announcement!"

"We really hope to see you participate should you accept the offer, and we cannot wait to see whatever may happen on the trip ahead."

"Now, if you excuse me, I will see if I can manage to fit all my hawaiian shirts into one suitcase."

"This concludes the roadtrip thread announcement."

Woop woop new trend! (i hope)

I've never started a trend or done an event like this before, however, I do want to do my best in hosting something fun for the community. So, if you have any questions. leave them in tags or replies and I will try to answer them as best as i can!

And, much like what narry says, you are not required to participate! if you miss a day, or an event, or don't have the motivation to do anything up ahead, then thats fine too! This is just meant to be something nice and fun to do. Plus a way to celebrate vacations and road trips bc i love those kinda things and we get to give our tsp goobers a little break, as a treat ksjdhfkjsdfh

really hope to see some people participate, even if its just for one prompt :3

see you all when the itinerary drops! and tysm to everyone in the original post brainstorming this idea that showed an interest in doing this!
