The Welsh singer died in Portugal, her family said Thursday. She had been receiving treatment in the hospital for weeks.

Legendary pop singer Bonnie Tyler, best known for hits including “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” has died after weeks in the hospital, her family said Thursday. She was 75.

“Bonnie’s family and team are heartbroken to announce that Bonnie unexpectedly passed away last night in hospital in Portugal as a result of the illness that she was being treated for,” a statement said on her official social media accounts.

The raspy-voiced Welsh singer gained global popularity in the 1970s and 1980s for her power ballads including “Holding Out for a Hero” and “It’s a Heartache.”

[...] “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” came out in 1983 and made it to No. 1 on both the U.S. and U.K. charts. The bombastic ballad then became a karaoke anthem. It has had more than 1 billion streams, boosted by real eclipses in 2017 and 2024.

“I never get tired of singing it,” she once told BBC News. “I love it because everyone can’t wait to sing it.”

Tyler earned three Grammy nods, represented Britain at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 and was awarded a medal of honor for her services to music by Queen Elizabeth II in 2023.

People who hate "blackwashing" have got to be pissed how much richer and more deep a character becomes when they're not white. Literally any other kind of POC turns that character into something so much more. Anyway I just saw that Hercules on Broadway is being played by a black man, and it hit much harder when he said he'd go anywhere to find where he belongs...

So why do you guys keep trying to steal our cultures then?

If being poc makes a character "so much more" why dont you make poc characters set in their own cultures. Why do you have to steal european and asian cultures, why blackwash those characters? Why not make aztec characters? Why not make south african characters, why not make indian characters. Why are you always riding the coat tails of european and asian cultures. Why do all the black characters have to be blackwashed versions of egyptians? Of celts? Of the norse? Of the slavs? The chinese the japanese or south east asians.

You can't say the characters have more meaning when they have a darker skin tone when everything about the character belongs to a race of a lighter skin tone. The cultures of europeans and asians are their own accomplishments, not black africans/african americans.

Also that last line there has aged so poorly in todays climate. Immigrants pouring into european countries and murdering and raping them. Perhaps where you belong is where you came from. Instead of appropriating our cultures you should go embrace your own because if theres one thing hercules would not do is he wouldnt do or support whatever the fuck you are doing.

Crackers dont have culture yawn!!!

"Immigrants pouring into european countries and murdering and raping them"

OK, so this is just blatant antiblackness, racism, bigotry and xenophobia. Everything else this person is saying also incorrect and offensive, but that sentiment is the core of what they really think

One more look at my Tucker picture, because I added some color high-lights!

#my art #red vs blue #lavernius tucker

Red Team! Plus Doc, Locus and my OC, Poppy!

This started with me wanting to draw a really nice Sarge face... which turned out better than I thought it would (all the shapes in the features look really solid). So I kept going, and because I'm a glutton for punishment, I had to pick tricky face-angles for some of them. Oh, and because I drew these on paper, I used a combination of colored pens/pencils blended, then added a little more high-lights in MS 3D Paint. I used mostly blues and greens (sorry, Sarge), then de-saturated it, before tinting it a warmer tone. Acceptably light-ish red now. Also, I love you Lopez, but I'm not good at drawing armor/helmets...

Sarge is looking forward, with a relaxed expression, and his head tilted slightly (I imagine him being very boxy, with a nose that's been broken a couple of times, a scar above his eyebrow from getting shot, and he still keeps the buzz-cut). Grif is leaning back against Simmons, his eyes closed and smiling contentedly (he's chubby, his double-chin visible, stubble around his jaw and chin, with long hair that is thick/curly and parted in the middle, the area around one eye a shade lighter than the rest of his skin). Simmons is cozy and close to Grif, looking down at him and smiling with affection (he has a defined curve to his nose, hair parted off-center and pulled back into a low ponytail. the left side of his face has cybernetics around his eye/jaw/chin). Donut and Doc are together. Donut is smiling big and bright, mid hair-flip like he's in a shampoo commercial (he has a scar around his right eye/ear from the grenade, and he keeps that side of his hair clipped short in an undercut, the other side flowing longer). Doc is tilting his head back on Donut's shoulder, smiling and giving a wink... which may be from O'Malley (he has a nose with a narrow bridge that is broader at the bottom, and short hair that is very curly). Locus has his head turned, with his eyes closed, with a peaceful and thoughtful expression (his hair has recovered it's more curly texture, a few strands loose at the top, the rest pulled back in a pony tail. the rest of his features are similar to his face reveal from the animated mini-series, but showing that some time has passed). Poppy, my OC, is posed as if she's turning around and glancing over her shoulder, smiling (she has long hair that is swept up across her shoulders, with bangs that frame her face. her features are round and solid)

Another Grif tattoo idea; at some point before he and Simmons get married, he asks for Simmons to write out his signature on some paper. Simmons jokes like- "What, are you gonna forge my signature for a phony will, then kill me?" and he knows that isn't it, but Grif keeps his idea a secret... until a little while later, after Grif has been spending some time with Kai, he just casually waits for Simmons to see him with his shirt off, and THERE IT IS. A tattoo of a heart-shape, sort of lop-sided, right over the area of his actual heart, which he got from Simmons. The outside of the heart has little dots that make a gradient. The inside of the heart is Simmons' signature of his name

Simmons finds that very sweet, but also? How is he supposed to compete with that! No fair doing the most romantic thing EVER, of all time, and Simmons can't even do something half that good! Grif tries to be all casual, reminding Simmons that "romance isn't a competition" (yes it is, and he's winning~). Sometimes just drawing on lined notebook paper helps me get through an art-block, so that's what I did for this picture (oh, and because I use whatever pens are handy, I actually used a couple of light/dark pink pens and shaded with regular pencil, then after scanning it, I adjusted the colors to be more golden-brown)

Description; a drawing of Grif, all in warm-brown tones, his torso/upper body the focus (his face and his legs below the waist aren't visible). He has his head tilted casually to one side, arms loosely bent, hands in the pockets of pajama pants. His body type is thick and very chubby, with strong muscles in his arms, and a large belly. He has body hair across his chest, his stomach, and his arms. He has scars from the surgery/skin-grafts, and some stretch-marks. His left arm is a lighter color than the rest of his body. He has a double-chin, and the small part of the bottom of his face has facial hair. His long hair is very wavy, falling across his shoulders. The heart tattoo with "Simmons" written inside it is on the left side of his chest, partially on the lighter skin, and partially on his darker skin

Sleepy hug time with the Blue Boys~

Is there actually room in Church's lap for Caboose? No, but that isn't going to stop him. Tucker just gets comfortable on Caboose's back, and now Church is "trapped". He definitely hates this

The Sarge faces that I've drawn on paper (and thus more detailed than I usually do with MS Paint and a mouse haha). The first is the most recent, from the group picture of Red Team faces (plus Doc, Locus, and my OC because she gets to be in there). I really wanted to draw all the defined shapes and lines in his face, wrinkles/scars/features from a broken jaw and nose in the past, but still give him kind of a gentle expression (enjoy Foxy Grandpa~). The second is from my group of pin-up pictures, the full shot being Sarge doing a one-armed push-up (show off), but I cropped just the face and rotated it so it works like a side-profile picture (enjoy Foxy Grandpa again~). The last two are panels from a short comic, and actually the first time I ever drew my ideas for the RVB characters out of their armor on paper (so I was still figuring out how I wanted them to look, and getting used to drawing them). The background info; Simmons has just gone through a whole big Family Crisis, that ended with him knocking out his dad (Mr Simmons tried to smack around his son like he used to, thus the bloody nose... but Simmons has learned how to fight back. he's still depressed he was never "good enough" for the jerk, but Sarge finally gives him a dad-hug! oh, and Simmons' parents work for a bio-tech company that have been trying to sell new "synthetic skin" cosmetics which are actually way more of a hassle than a help, and wanted their son to cover up his cybernetics/prosthetics; he still has them, it just isn't visible here. now that he's done trying to beg for their approval, he'll stop with all that BS)

The Yellowstone Wolves is the first case we study in any Ecology class, since it's the best example on how interconnected the ecosystem is - there's no direct reason why the presence of wolves would change the course of the rivers, but through a series of little things, it does. It's a reminder that everything is important, everything has a role in nature, and how the extinction of a population can bring an entire ecosystem down.

Genuinely evil and dark-sided to put the periods between the letters in "milf" and "dilf." Like what is M.I.L.F. that is a supervillain organization composed entirely of cougars. Whoa that's a great idea actually post canceled hold on

dbz zim and gir redesign bc i was so charmed by my own old art of them.

Zim is obviously frieza force but I think Gir is some weird alien baby he found that Zim is totally convinced is a saiyan he can train into an unstoppable warrior. Gir is not a saiyan he is some other weird dog thing but he's still very strong! ...when you can hold his attention for more than 2 seconds

edit: naming them Zoyshia (ゾイシア) and Gras (グラス) . the grass brothers

The weird pattern of trying to rip black characters from the hands of black people, who already have so little representation in the anime space is disturbing. I feel like no matter how unapologetically, how undeniably, how very clearly black a Manga artist will make a character, if they make them look "too cool" or have too interesting of a personality nonblacks will start frothing at the mouth to tell you all the reasons this character couldn't be black. Like, you're just racist 😭😭 you actually like it that black people aren't looked upon favorably in Japan because it means less black people in your anime. Or, black people who are drawn and written to be disgusting stereotypes. You HATE it when they're depicted in real ways, despite screaming down black people's throats when they make edits of characters. You scream for us to support "real" black characters, then do this EVERY time a cool one comes out. You're sick in the head!! Desscaras is a black woman!!

peachyblkdemonslayer

They did the same thing with Jabber too like if the black characters aren't anti black stereotypes or just blank slates a lot of yall dont fuck with them for real.
