Cute little belly!

This is what the eggs look like to me when they wear armour and their little tummy’s are poking out like this is literally them

Thanks again!

I just wanted to say that I've been keeping up with your quirkless au series. You have a wonderful imagination! I would like to submit a question about how the reader's admirers would react to overhearing the reader telling a coworker she was threatened by a senior coworker?

The reader comes to take an interest in the projects that are being produced in a different department of the company. Wanting to expand her work ethic, the reader makes a request to the CEO to transfer. Enji agrees to the reader’s request and the reader transfers to the new department which is being led by a different department manager. However, before the transfer can be official, the reader must complete a training period under the guidance of a senior coworker. The department’s manager gives the senior coworker instructions to train the reader by letting her shadow him. Instead of training the reader as instructed, the senior coworker decides to use the “sink or swim,” approach. Instead of shadowing, the reader is asked to complete a full workload. Since the reader was given very little information, the reader is unable to complete the tasks asked of her.

 At the end of the day, the senior coworker angrily confronts the reader. The reader apologizes and politely insists that she did her best with the limited directions she was given. This only seems to infuriate her senior coworker even more and says “You’ve been giving me nothing but attitude the whole day. I’m only being stern with you because this is your second day. If this was your second week I would be mean to you. You don’t want to see what I’m like to the people I am mean to. Don’t mess with me any further.” The reader apologizes again and leaves. 

On her way out, the reader runs into her admirer who asks her how the new training is going. The reader says “That everything is going fine.” Her admirer can tell that the reader is lying but she runs away before he can push the subject further. The next day during her lunch break, the reader confides to a few coworkers about what had happened. The reader asks her coworker if she should report her senior coworker to the department’s leader. The coworkers insist that reporting the senior coworker would only make things worse and that she should keep quiet. The reader reluctantly agrees and insists that she will just have to work harder. What the reader doesn’t know is that her admirer was eavesdropping on the conversation. 

At the end of the week everyone is excited to leave work because a holiday break is about to start. The reader’s admirer was hoping he could make plans with the reader so he goes looking for her. While walking to the reader's new work department, he comes across the reader’s senior coworker who has a very satisfied smug look on his face. The admirer feels tempted to confront him but he decides against it. When the admirer reaches the reader’s desk he is surprised to see that it was empty of her belongings. Out of confusion, the admirer confronts the department manager. Nonchalantly, the department manager says that she had fired the reader earlier that day. When the admirer asks her why, the department manager says that "The reader is not a good fit for this department.Unless another department wants her, she will not be returning to work after holiday break. It's a shame because she does seem like a nice girl."

How would each of the reader’s admirers react in this situation? Would the reader return to the company after the holiday break? If so, what would she expect on her return?

thank you for the ask ❤️ ! I didn't do kirishima or aizawa because I didn't have any inspo for them.

tw: workplace harassment, yandere, possessive behavior, obsessive behavior, mentioned murder, abuse of power (kinda), manipulative behavior, violence

✤midoriya izuku -> izuku was actually very supportive of you trying new things at first, especially because it meant getting you away from the other yanderes. yes away from him too, but you two were so close, izuku knew you weren't going to turn away from him. but when that manager mentioned firing you ? it was over for him, izuku was going to make sur you were going back to his department and that that manager was NEVER bothering you ever again. luckily for him, you weren't the only girl he had harassed. izuku gathered testimonies from all of them and spread all of them into the company. so much that the HR couldn't do as if they didn't see anything. the manager ended up getting fired and izuku used his connections with shoto to get you back to the department. at first izuku would baby you more than before but things pretty much went back to norma. no one ever heard of that manager ever again...

✤katsuki bakugo -> bakugo was totally against you changing department especially since he heard weird rumors about that manager. but it was your choice so he couldn't say too much without looking suspicious. but that day when you said that "everything was fine", bakugo knew something was up, you couldn't fool him. he followed you around to find out what was happening and when he did find out... oh boy. he rushed towards that asshole and beat him up like he never beat someone up before, so much that you were scared that the man might never wake up again. you would've thought that hen was going to get fired but the manager's reputation really helped him. after he beat him up, all the girls he was harassing filled complaints to the HR, so much that the manager got fired before bakugo could even be sanctioned. bakugo got suspended for a few months but when he was back, you were in the department again and especially nice to him since he saved your place. he would be a fool to not take advantage of him.

✤shoto todoroki & enji todoroki (endeavor) -> I mean it's their company so if they notice someone is bullying you well... won't take much time for them to fire the person and to promote you by their side so that nothing of the sort ever happens again.

✤keigo takami (hawks) -> hawks would be the one who got a very good advantage because of that. he knew the reputation of that manager and that's exactly why he encouraged you to go towards that department. he admits he felt a bid bad when he saw how shaken you were by the experience but well, he would be your shoulder to cry on. as he comforted you, he immediately offered you a job at his company. you wanted a different job ? his company was great ! he would give you whatever tasks you wished for plus there wasn't all those creeps lusting after you in there and it was also a smaller company. he convinced you to join his company if you ever got fired. so when he got the news that the company finally fired you, he immediately rushed at your side, comforting you, telling you how much those people didn't deserve you. as you were crying in his arms, he couldn't hide the smirk that was growing on his lips from thinking how easy it was to lure you in his arms. he also got you away from all the other men who wanted you at the same time, he really hit two birds with one stone.

Two Cloaked Figures

Two cloaked figures at the end of the street

Sneaking and lurking in the dark of the moonless night

Beware of their nimble hands, lest there be knives in their robes



How would we know they don’t possess knives but only scars?

Scars from their bondage and resistance, hollow trust enveloping like second nature

A path to choice they seek, to a free nowheresville and to life



Two cloaked figures at the end of the street

Sneaking and lurking in the dark of the moonless night

Beware of their fiery spirits and eager appetites



I would know that they’d steal your hearts and make you want to fly

Two cloaked figures at the end of the street

Two lives inspiring hundreds, if only we would see

‼️  EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS ‼️

REBLOGS APPRECIATED!

Hey everyone,

Im opening emergency commissions to help cover the cost of vet bills for an animal my friend and I unexpectedly rescued last night. I’m willing to share details via DM for anyone that wants to hear more, but I don’t want to put the details on this post.

The final charge could be as high as $3,700, and seeing as how both my friend and I are technically unemployed this is not an amount that we can possibly fund on our own. On top of that, it’s a completely unexpected amount of money since it involves a rescued animal. We also were hit with the after-hours fee due to the timing of the event in question. The final amount will be due very soon once everything is taken care of at the vet’s office.

I am reopening some of my comic style commissions, but my medieval manuscript commissions are also still open, which can be seen here: (link).

Pricing for comic style commissions is as follows: Half body: $15 (extra character +$7) Full body: $25 (extra character +$10)

I am able to sell prints of completed pieces via my print store (privately uploaded to inprnt) for anyone who would be interested. Previous commissions seen in medieval & comic style can be viewed in my #commissions tag on my blog.

If you’d like a commission, please DM me and we will begin the process from there. Image references are appreciated (and don’t have to be anything fancy). Payments preferably made via PayPal. I also have cashapp and ko-fi.

Tips are also greatly appreciated though of course not necessary.

If you’d like to send anything our way without a commission, everything helps, and my kofi can be found here: https://ko-fi.com/boneshit

“People always say that sunflowers track the sun. So I watched the sunflowers grow and saw that they did not. 

The young plants did trace the sun from East to West, but when the blooms finally opened, they would cease to chase the sun. 

One day, I would also like to gain my independence from the sun.” - Linus 

From my work in progress illustrated novel, 1000 Words Unframed.

I found this very interesting!

Why does Disney's Esmeralda have green eyes?

If you've read Hugo's book or seen any other adaptation of Esmeralda you've most likely noticed that she always has either black or brown eyes.

So why does Disney's Esmeralda have green eyes?

Why would they make her eyes green when in the book it specifically states that her eyes are black?

The answer is simple and there are a couple of reasons why Disney made this bold decision.

1. La Esmeralda means emerald in Spanish.

In the book,Esmeralda got her name from the necklace that she always wore.This necklace had a large green emblem that resembled an emerald.

However,Disney's Esmeralda doesn't have this necklace.

So instead,they gave her emerald green eyes.This was done in order to justify her name.If her eyes were black,and she didn't have her green necklace-there would be no point in her being named Esmeralda.

2. Iconic and memorable design.

Disney is well known for their colourful and memorable character designs.Esmeralda is no exception.

She was designed in such a way that makes her stand out.Apart from Clopin,Esmeralda is the most vibrant and colourful character in the movie.

Moreover,in case you hadn't noticed,Esmeralda is the only character in the movie who has green eyes.Even Quasimodo's eyes are a mixture of blue and light green,but still lean more towards the colour blue.

So Esmeralda is the only character with green eyes.This was done to make her stand out,as well as to make her design even more colourful and hard to forget.

3. History behind green eyes.

I don't really know if Disney did this intentionally or not,but it would make perfect sense if Esmeralda's eyes were green,considering the time and story she's in.

The story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame takes place in the 15th century France.More specifically in 1482.

Back then,green eyes were seen as evil and a sign of witchcraft and sorcery.

So it makes perfect sense for Esmeralda to have green eyes,since she is seen as a witch and sorceress by Frollo.

Not only would she be seen as a witch and a demon because of her Romani background and her shameful dances,but also because of her green eyes.

So yeah,i don't know if this was intentional or not,but it's certainly an interesting concept to think about.

How to Draw and Design Gryphons and Hippogryphs by using photo references of eagles, lions and horses?

Draw everything individually, from multiple angles.

How to draw horses || How I practice anatomy || Gesture drawing

It's like juicing up for a very tasty dream by consuming your favorite genre, characters, settings, etc and hoping your subconscious combines them.

If the final result is your target, and you see your drawing arm as a gun taking aim, then references are your bullets. Fill the chamber with reference unless you want to play roulette.

Your first step in reference gathering is to be specific. Know what you want and stick with it. I searched specifically for African Lion and Gold Eagle. Being specific helps you observe detail more accurately, and it already puts you one step ahead of generic designs.

I'm only going to tackle Lion + Eagle today for simplicity, but you can use this advice to combine two, three, or dozens of animals including horses.

Get your reference, and start practicing. Keep it simple and undetailed, only drawing the essence of the photo, rather than exact position and proportion.

Use action poses to practice! Even though they're more challenging, they will infuse your final result with action as well. Look up things like hunting, fighting, walking, running, landing, etc to get action reference.

Practice most on the creature you're having the hardest time with. That was Lions, for me. I even did a separate page where I studied the structure of their manes, since I wanted that in my griffin design.

Remember: you can trace photos as part of study! This is helpful for correcting proportions and anatomy. Make sure you are tracing mass and bones, not outlines.

Now that you're weapon is loaded with reference, you'll be able to design freehand without copying a photo. This is IDEAL because you won't be slowed down by anatomy. Now what we're here for: Design.

Creature Design Masterpost || Splice Vs Blend

This is going to be yet another visit to Splice vs. Blend technique, so strap in. Here's some guys I drew after I finished studying. No photos needed at this stage because I've eaten them all.

The most common creature design technique is something I call Splicing. You take pieces of animals and graft them onto each other with stitches. Griffins are notorious for this with their bird talons on the front legs and lion paws on the back. That's a creature that was formed through magic, not evolution. This automatically makes your griffin less believable. And probably a bit awkward in the walking department.

So here's a new challenge: Blending. Take bits of each creature and put them in a mixer, letting the ingredients land all over the place and amongst each other. What if we had a lion skull, with an extra-thick bird beak in place of the jaws? What if the lion chin was still there in the form of a tuft of fur? Maybe the tear duct from the lion, and the eyelids of bird? Let's give it lion ears with the furrowed brow so typical of raptors.

It already looks like a new life form, rather than a photoshopped amateur hour of recognizable animals. I could cover it in either feathers or fur and it would still be distinct as a new species. I want the classic lion mane in some form, so I'm taking the shape and turning it into long, fluffy feathers.

Don't stop there! Try identifying what traits make an eagle and eagle, or a lion a lion, and sticking them between each other.

Keep combining! Challenge convention! Add and omit parts and pieces to your heart's content.

Take this practice to all parts of all creatures. Throw new stuff in a blender instead of stitching it together. This especially includes color! You see a lot of spliced markings in novelty griffins, with a specific cat and bird. Artists get stuck on copy-pasting animal patterns because they're afraid the ingredients won't be recognizable, or they're just lost in the sauce of loving tigers they forget to actually have fun with it.

It's still recognizable as tiger and peacock, but much more compelling, wouldn't you say? Go for something unique rather than staying with what feels "safe." There's a million griffin artists out there, but only one You.

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.
