probatio diabolica

Personally? I would never deny Hiromu Arakawa her right to a short bratty braided blond character in a kickass red coat

It's remarkable how well .hack//Signs captures the feeling of MMO interactions. Conversations carried on between log-offs, trollish players, overzealous mods with limited powers & the general feeling of interactions removed from the urgency of real-life exchanges.

I also like the tattoos that almost every character has. They look exactly like those generic tattoos all fantasy/sci-fi games with character creation let you place anywhere on your avatar.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

dont trace reference images. dont even LOOK at reference images. in fact, don't ever look at anything that exists in the world, in person or in photos or in videos, even when you're not drawing, because you will still be able to use the memories of what something looks like as a reference when you're drawing it later. yes that includes yourself. destroy all the mirrors in your house. don't look down at your hands or feet. don't look. close your eyes. close them tight. forget everything. it's okay, embrace the darkness. just forget.

sometimes older people get annoyed when i say "no problem" instead of "you're welcome" but the truth is it's literally not a problem

and sometimes you're not welcome

lately been feeling like i have 1 angel wing and 1 devil wing and 1 normal eye and 1 black and red eye with black tears coming out of it
