huh, i can't stop thinking about the fact that when yby was waking wkx up, he said that no one could die before him and surely, that includes wkx

and yet, mere moments later, he tells wkx that he has a way to save zzs life but at the cost of his[wkx] own life and he definitely knows that wkx would say yes

those moments are the only proof i need that yby did something to make sure that wkx would not die in the process (and that wkx is very much alive in that bonus clip and not some hallucination) despite his words earlier and here's the reason why and think about it: yby, out of everyone there knows what it's like to live an immortal life without his zhiji[rcq] (i can't even remember if that was canon or not but regardless, rcq was someone important to him) and surely, he isn't cruel to subject zzs to the same fate, right?

he isn't. hence the reason why i wholeheartedly believe that the bonus clip wasn't just zzs' overly vivid imagination and delusion.

though, i do wonder what was going on in his head before those moments. when and how did he figure it out to make sure that zzs would not be living the same life he did? he knows that zzs would not live without wkx and vice versa and that one sacrificing their life for the other wasn't an option. and i'm sure that asking wkx if he's willing to sacrifice his life had a deeper meaning and intention to it but that was such an in-law thing to do lmao 😂😂

anyways, i'm sure this has all been said before but i just can't stop having feels about it.

the only two ways i can categorize height is if i see something tall i go 'woah, big boy man' and if i see something short i go 'hah.. baby man' and idk what to blame for this. anyway wanna hear about the times ghosts have touched my ass

More NieYao 😌❤️

Yet again a plotline they know how to write but didn't:

"Mike spends time with El that sparks platonic jealousy of her from a friend of his"

Season 1 Lucas vs Season 4 Will. Lucas is platonically jealous. Will is romantically jealous.

Lucas is jealous because Mike is spending more time with El, which he perceives romantically.

Will is jealous because Mike is spending more time with El, which he perceives romantically.

The romantic nature of the relationship they're jealous isn't what differentiates the nature of the jealousy. Both watch a romantic interaction between them from afar upset - Will in 4x02 at the roller rink and Lucas in 1x03 for the "I understand" scene. So why, then, is Lucas' jealousy platonic but Will's romantic. It isn't. They're identical. Except for one key detail I have strategically omitted.

Mike. Lucas and Will behave near identically. They are sad, gazing from afar, and irritable about the topic, fighting with both Mike and one other friend on the topic (Dustin, El).

But Mike only behaves abnormally in one scenario: Will's. Season 1 is a miscommunication - Lucas thinks Mike is prioritizing El over Will but really, he's just prioritizing Will through El. But season 4 is not that. In season 4, he committedly ignores Will without explanation for a full day before defending that any two friends who didn't see each other for 8 months wouldn't keep in touch during that time.

It isn't romantic of Will to be jealous of El. It wasn't romantic of Lucas and we knew that. Mike is the one who made it out to be romantic because that's the conclusion he jumped to (defend) out of fear. It's just that we, trained by the writers like good little viewers to equate straight relationship to straight, listened to him.

Will acted with Mike exactly like Lucas did and that played as platonic. What happened wasn't that Will behaved differently. What happened was we noticed that something in their relationship was more romantic. We turned to where it was coming from, to see: Mike ..........frantically pointing us to Will.

In season 4 when he defended not keeping in touch, in season 3 when he brought up queerness in defense of an accusation towards Mike and Lucas on Dustin's behalf,

Mike set off our alarm bells. And Mike redirected us. (And ironically, that is what told on him.)

Why are you so f*cking dense, Dokja!!!

Oofuri Gods!AU previous post: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 

Ah, finally an update! This is getting longer in each post lol

I don’t have any idea about how this story will go on and how this will end, well for now on, let’s just make things by instinct hahaha.

A friend of mine just sent me some of your art tips and I loved them! Since I was a kid I could draw, but it was always a straight up copy of already finished drawings simply for the pure joy of drawing, but now I wanna draw on my own and I'm finding it very difficult! I'm still trying to figure out an artstyle, and I practice things alone (lips, eyes, nose) and they seem to be okay, but when I try to put them together on a face, it doesn't work, like the eyes is not the previous eyes I've been practicing and such. Do I need to practice the face as a whole? Am I doing something wrong?

Awesome, I’m so glad you like ‘em! Ah shit, look what you’ve done, you’ve made me practice anatomy (jkjk this is affectionate!)

In answer, yes absolutely you gotta practice the face as a whole! Don’t worry, most people start from just practicing individual facial features on their own! It’s super easy to tunnel vision! Those studies will also help you going forward, so it’s not time wasted!

A general disclaimer before I keep going: I went to school for animation and never took a proper anatomy class, so these are all tips and tricks I’ve either picked up along the way or figured out on my own. Take them with a grain of salt!

Ok first I think everyone’s seen a diagram of how to measure where facial features sit on the face so I’ll just copy/paste an image to get that out of the way. ***one thing to keep in mind is how the face is divided into thirds:

**** Important Note: Spend some time studying the skull too! For simplicity’s sake, here are some basic landmark parts of the structure you should be aware of:

Next, there’s three methods of drawing the head that I frankenstein together:

1) The Loomis Method is I think the easiest to start playing with head/face perspective drawings. Using the above method of dividing the head into thirds, we can put that on this super simple head model and rotate it in 3D.

Here’s a great video by Stan Prokopenko that goes into more depth on the method!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAOldLWIDSM

2) For musculature, I like referencing the Reilly Method because the round shapes it uses help me understand how different parts squish into each other.

3) For painting/rendering ref, I really like using the Asaro Head because it really helps as reference on how lighting breaks up the planes of the face. (I’m still a ways away from publicly posting most paintings I’ve done tho) No demo for this one because painting takes me 84 yrs

EDIT: This isn’t my painting btw

*** One crucial thing I’d want to point out is that you should also practice drawing heads without painstakingly following measurements and guidelines. 1) everyone’s head/face are different and will have different proportions and 2) you want to get used to drawing without limiting yourself to one method as a crutch! These are all just tools to help you on your journey!

4) As far as simplifying the face goes, the pretty common way I’ve seen/used is to divide the head into two sections: the eyes and brow area, then the area below the cheekbones. This is where the bean face that everyone was mad about in 2015 comes from lololol (we’ve moved on from bean-hate, right? pls?)

One last note: Most of what I’ve posted on my blog has faces with floaty features, so don’t reference my stuff for your own good LMAO

Hope this helps!

Our boy, Jiggy, is straight-up not having a good time. LATE AFTER DISMISSAL, AT THE LOBBY: LXC: *vibrating on the spot, close to blacking out since he is within a meter of away of his crush, JC. Literally sparkles in the setting sun* JC: *turns away, blushing furiously and trying to not combust since he is ALSO within a meter away of his crush, LXC. JGY: *not vibing. AT ALL. He is this close to committing homicide.*

(I used haik*y*uu for references) Ok, I stopped being lazy and drew more of my highschool AU wherein JC is a junior and a member of the volleyball varsity, and LXC is a senior and the Student Council President. Just click my tumblr’s highschool au tag hehehe
