Awe-inspiring art. What software do you use for this and how do you get such good renditions of their faces?

I use AI art as a general reference idea and make actual art from scratch. Like I want a girl in a kimono with wisteria in her hair and a hemp leaf print and that's specific af so I put this as a prompt, use the image as a base, plan my art out and change it up, then I make my art.

I wish every AI “artist” a very I’m going to bust your kneecaps with a baseball bat

We made the Covaccine and Covishield. We completed over 1 billion vaccinations. We are way more capable than what's thought of us. But India could've avoided so many deaths if the US wasn't like this.

also re: covid vaccines, people have said this but places like India, Korea, etc are very very very good at medical research and India is the biggest distributor of vaccines. it is not "the us needs to give/donate Poor Countries medicines because they are too stupid to figure it out themselves" it is "the us copyrighted the ingredients of the vaccine and so nobody can make them outside of the country"

which is vastly more insidious than simply not performing charity

Tumblr added a new feature where we could play multiplayer open world games with our mutuals, themed around different fandoms.

Yes. It happened, unfortunately.

I saw this and felt like it should be shared here too

If someone called me a ten, I'd take it as the greatest insult ever. I'm an infinity. Everyone knows that.

Rereading The Last Hours (chronologically) before Chain of Thorns comes out

Hi!

I’m witchlightdreams and I’m planning to reread the entirety of The Last hours including online extras and side stories in other companion books of the Shadowhunter and I made a plan so everyone can join me. 💜

The Shadowhunter wiki has a very concise timeline of the stories, but it doesn’t include the online Extras and snippets that aren’t canon. So I put together a longer list that has all extras (excluding a few super short snippets) together. This is probably not for people who read TLH for the first time though, since a few of the short stories and extras contain spoilers.

I already asked people if they would be interested in a book club to reread TLH and I got much positive feedback. I thought long about how to achieve a communal book club so I had the idea of just making a hashtag that hasn’t been used yet to share our thoughts on the current chapter, post art, etc. What do you guys think of #TLH reread challenge?

I’ve made a plan in which order I will read the The Last hours again before the big finale and everyday I will post something about the reading section of the day, life-blog about my thoughts while reading, post art and reblog other stuff from the hashtag, so if you want to keep up-to-date and join the book club, you can either follow this blog or the hashtag or just DM me if you want to join the book club but don’t want to post yourself. I would be very interested to read this communally, so if you want to read at the same time as me, please use the tag or tell me directly. Of course you can also join later or skip the extras at the beginning entirely.

Of course no one has to follow my recommended plan, you should always read in your own time and find joy in reading. I just made this for myself and everyone who wants to read parallel with me. I’m trying to keep every daily section under 50 pages and always between 25-45 pages, but in the beginning it might not be possible, especially with the extra stories, since they don’t have page numbers and because short stories are usually longer than chapters.

If you want resources where to find the extra stories, I made a second post for that and tagged it with our book club tag.

In case you don’t own the companion books or don’t want to read the short stories because they’re too long, that’s not a problem! The Shadowhunter wiki has a good summary of those so you don’t have knowledge gaps!

Happy reading!

🌹Chain of Thorns🌹

If we enjoy this book club I will continue the challenge for Chain of Thorns, but since we don’t know the chapters and their length yet, I can’t plan this yet.

I love this art style.
