Getting The Creative Juices Flowing…

Senpai says you’re welcome

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.

Screaming crying because I hate every piracy guide I come across on here.

figured out a way you can search for posts that are tagged TWO things on a blog!!! feeling clever

for anyone else who didn’t know, this is the format!:

remove the [brackets] when using it!

Anyway some things to follow when youre a beginner cook:

Don't constantly shift your food around in the pan if you want to form a crust on it, the less you move it the better.

Don't be afraid to add water if youre frying up food and the food/sauce looks a bit dry.

Don't fry up your garlic early on in the cooking process (unless youre making a quick garlic oil) as the garlic flavour can straight up disappear if overcooked for too long and/or the garlic can become bitter if burnt

Don't overcook your vegetables. Look up recommended cook times for them. Your distaste for vegetables stems from them being overcooked and being poorly seasoned.

Don't microwave stuff for more than 2 minutes at a time unless you know what you're doing. Reheating stuff tends to fare better when you mix food between microwaving times since microwaves develop hotspots if you microwave it uninterrupted for too long.

Don't try cooking everything at the hottest setting. It's super tempting to have a high flame and do a meal quickly but actually follow directions and cook at medium or low heat.

love 2 learn new things

This list includes doctors in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Europe!

Even if you're not the target demographic, please share for any of your friends who may be.

And if you or someone you know would like to be added to the list, there's a place for that!

I spent last night looking at Neocities sites and here are my takeaways:

There's a real push to keeping the internet weird, open and less corporate-driven -- info on bypassing paywalls, protecting your data, archiving web media and basic coding/tech literacy.

(I found one tutorial on how to make a pop up that detects whether someone has an ad blocker and suggests they install one if they don't! Love that.)

There's also resources on finding the kind of internet that isn't the default experience anymore - alternate search engines I hadn't even heard of, human-made link lists and webrings. (Webrings! Turns out they never went away!)

If any of that sounds interesting to you, by the way - sadgrl.online has a lot of it and is possibly the best thing on the internet????

The "90's web" aesthetic is really fun and nostalgic, but I particularly loved seeing some people bring the better parts of the "modern internet" into it. What if we had weird, eye-searing personal sites BUT with plaintext alternatives for accessibility purposes? CW for flashing lights and unreality triggers?

(Again sadgrl comes in with a lot of resources for making your website accessible.)

Most of all, I'm honestly emotional about all the sites I found that were like, "hi! I'm 14 and this is my website where I talk about stuff I like haha."

It's so good that so many kids and teens who never experienced the "old internet" are still finding stuff like this and making their own weird stuff! Not just because weird websites are more fun, but because these skills are being passed down.

Anyway it's great and who knows maybe I'll make my own site sometime to keep horror media recommendations or something.

We can change the world

You are the whole Universe; at the roots of our souls, we are all the same. Yet our bodies and life experiences make us unique expressions of one big Universe that experiences itself. You are powerful because your soul is divine energy (but don't forget that your physical body is worthy of attention and care, because it is the embodiment of that Highest Divine Energy - the universe, god, the void, however you call it).

Although our reality is literally a prison, a hologram called spacetime, our soul does not bow to its laws. That's why it's so important to feed your soul with good things - get to know yourself. Get to know the physical Universe through your human experience, and feed your soul by meditating and connecting your inner Universe with the bigger Universe (that exists out of spacetime and out of multiverses and some call "The Void").

Feed wisdom to your soul - learn about our history, about (quantum) physics, philosophy, science. Meditate and reconnect with your soul. Realize you ARE God, just like everyone else, but you're entirely unique and your life purpose is much different than any other's. Find your life purpose, then act on it and find ways to achieve it.

You're safe and protected by the universe/divine energy. Everything you wish for is already yours. Every thought you have shapes your reality, so cut off negativity!

You are already on the right path. Keep looking out for signs that lead you to your purpose - it could be angel numbers appearing right when you're talking about something specific, people having conversations about your interests... And usually, your purpose is strictly connected to what you already love, what makes your soul sparkle, what makes you feel good. And it could be ANYthing, from music, to technology, to gardening, to leading a country.

Lastly, I'd like to say that Gen Z is the generation of innovation and change.

From 1995 to 2003, Uranus (which rules innovation, rebellion, and progress) was in Aquarius: our generation is the one that can and will change everything; we are unconventional, intellectual, and we will break the old patterns.

From 1998 to 2021, Neptune (which rules dreams, imagination, and the unconscious) was in Aquarius: our generation is inspired by analysis, intellectual pursuit, and our collective dreams are much more vivid. We are more connected to our soul in a way that creates change.

And last, from 1995 to 2008, Pluto (which rules power, intensity and obsession, and control) was in Sagittarius: our generation's psyche is positive, freespirited, creative, optimistic, forward looking, independent and confident. When our generation is in power, it will be for the greater good.

We have all the cards to change the world - so let's do so.🧡🦋
