Ladybits Problems 2012 UPDATE
So I went to the emergency walk-in today, and got myself looked at all proper-like!
Good news, I’m not anemic! They’ve sent off some tests, and I’ve got a more detailed appointment set up for next week, but at least I feel a little better about things.
Thanks for not unfollowing me for my TMI-ness =v=

Anonymous asked: quit being a bunch of whiny crybabies. welcome to the internet.
“Welcome to the internet” is such a bullshit argument for things like this. Just because this happens all the time doesn’t mean it should just be accepted. When someone gets upset that another person treated them terribly on the internet, the common response is “welcome to the internet.” Fuck that response. That just means you’re saying it’s okay to be a jerk because everyone’s a jerk. If you stop being such a jerk, then maybe someone else will stop being such a jerk, and then maybe there will eventually be fewer jerks. Seriously, grow up and wise up.
Acceptance of bullshit just means you like swimming in bullshit. You know where that stuff comes from? Bulls’ butts. Fucking gross, man.
When people say ‘welcome to the internet’, they mean that throwing a hissy fit on the internet is just as productive as shouting at a cardboard cut out of Rick Santorum because he’s a jerk. Will that make Rick Santorum less of a jerk? Fuck no. The internet is not real life. If someone on the internet is a jerk to you, and you really take it personal, then you’re not going to live a very rewarding life. When someone IRL is a jerk to you, then it’s an entirely different matter.
That’s why people should stop being butthurt on the internet. It’s not real life. There’s a completely different set of rules when it comes to social interactions because when you engage in a conversation or something, you’re just words. You’re not a person, or an individual. I could talk about this for hours, but let’s just stay with this: stop confusing the internet with real life. It’s not healthy.
First of all, “hissy fit” and “butthurt” are words used by people on the internet to illegitimize the valid points or concerns of others. A “hissy fit” implies that we overreacted to someone stealing from us. We didn’t overreact. All we did was use some swear words. Naughty, naughty swear words. Being “butthurt” implies that we’re oh so very mad about it. As we said, stuff like this happens all the time. That doesn’t mean we can’t point it out when it happens. Point to the hissy fit and we’ll apologize for overreacting and skulk off in embarrassed internet user fashion. Hissy fit and overreaction below…
Calling the internet not real life illigitimizes the internet in a way that does not hold water. It’s not real life? What does that even mean? Is it not happening? When you interact with someone on Facebook, do you not actually interact with them? Chatting with someone on the internet makes it not real life because you can’t see the other person? They’re “just words”? If you get into a fight with your significant other on gchat, does that mean you didn’t actually fight? If you break up, should you not be upset about it because it happened on the internet and it’s not real life? Did you, Aelur, not just type out your real life thoughts and post them for others to read in their real lives? Are their not internet campaigns that make change in real life? Are there not hundreds of thousands of things and feelings that occur on and because of the internet every day, but they just didn’t happen because it was on the internet? You don’t have to be out in the sun for things to have an impact on “real life”. Yeah, go out in the sun and interact with people in person, but “real life” also happens in computers and on the internet because…
It’s fucking 2012. More than ever, people rely on the internet for communication, entertainment, education, dating, and the list goes on. Things happen on the internet, people feel on the internet, and these things are happening and being felt more and more every day. The internet is so intertwined with “real life” now that when you say the internet doesn’t count, you sound like a ten-year-old from 1994. Yes, social rules are different on the internet than if you talk to a stranger on a bus. But that doesn’t mean that’s a good thing. The line between internet and “real life” is already blurring and eventually we’ll have internet chips in our brains and we’ll have internet in our glasses. Those internet social rules that allow people to be pricks to each other and steal from each other will more and more bleed into every day life because the internet is bleeding more and more into everyday life. It is important to try to maintain kindness and fairness on the internet, because soon the internet will affect how we interact with each other in person. It’s already happening like that, which is why bullying is becoming such a problem in schools. Kids are now growing up with and on the internet, and it’s okay to be a prick on the internet, so now these kids are being pricks to each other more and more in real life, and then kids are killing themselves. Be kind and fair here now, or else in 2025, your internet brain will make you go up to real people in real life and tell them to stop being so butthurt about real things in their real life, and you’ll look like a real life piece of shit.
All of that being said, our real point wasn’t about any of that. We didn’t mean to go on about all of this. Our main beef was that someone took time from their real life to go out of their way to strip credit from the work someone spent their real life time on. Credit where credit is due, etc. Stop stealing other people’s work, you fucks. Also, be kind and fair on the internet before your shitty internet rules and lingo command “real life”. Also? The word “butthurt” immediately makes anyone sound like a total wang, so try to use it less.
End transmission.

ok so i am in a feminist theories class right now and it is the bomb, i mean seriously the bomb
I am learning all this new stuff!! Except I have this question, which is: why haven’t I learned about this shit before??
Basically this class is about… well. Everything! We learn history and economics and social theory, and even some medical science!
In fact, the only difference that I can see between the history we learn in Feminist Theories and the history I learned in history class is that…
…Feminist Theories history is like history, if you took into account that ladies and people with vaginas existed.
Or like economics, if you noticed that people with vaginas have and/or need money too.
Or like science, if issues pertaining to bodies with vaginas and the health thereof were counted as important parts of science.
Or like social theory, if social theory actually paid attention to historical disparaties between men and women/humans with vaginas.
Which, you know, to me seems like a whole lot of givens. I mean, seriously. Vaginas account for like, 52% of the population. So, logically, 52% of history should be about people with vaginas. Does this or does this not make sense??
I mean, I am seriously grateful to be learning this shit. I honestly am! I am learning all the things they didn’t teach me in high-school, like: how economics as a practice ignores the majority of women’s work because it is unpaid, or how medicine up until around the 1930s was complete bullshit and midwives were basically hounded until they stopped practicing, or how the United States’ marketplace is structured around an outdated, conservative-romantic notion of business as emotionless competition made bearable by the devotion and emotional support of a subservient wife.
My question is: why didn’t I learn it before? The entire idea of “Women’s Studies” or even “Gender Studies” is that stuff concerning vaginas makes up so little of the mass of human knowledge that it is a specialty, and that the only people who get to learn about it are weirdos with some sort of attachment to knowing the history, cause, and effect of the patriarchy on half of humanity— not to mention only the weirdos who can afford to spend their higher education on it, or even afford higher education at all.
Basically: people wonder why there’s so much debate about our bodies and rights, why we allow war to be waged on us. Maybe it’s because most people don’t even know that a war is being fought! Maybe it’s because those who deserve to know about their history, their bodies, and their oppression will never get a chance to learn!!
This makes me want to learn moreeeee

euclase: Sometimes I get asked how to do skintones when...
Sometimes I get asked how to do skintones when painting.
I will try to explain with the help of Not Nearly Naked Enough Castiel…
So the actual color of skin comes from keratin, which is approximately the color of your bitten-off fingernail (sort of a translucent barely-yellow). It doesn’t really matter what your race is. Different pigments reflect and absorb light differently, and a blue lamp is going to make you look blue. But keratin is the same. That’s why human skin (and even animal skin) is all a “flesh tone.” It’s the same stuff.
So the rules of skin color are pretty much the same no matter your race or the lighting in the room: the thinner the skin, the richer the color. That’s because what skin does is to separate the outside from the inside, and everything on your inside is bloody. So the thinner the skin, the more blood we’re seeing.
And most humans (most humans) have red blood. So if you take the keratin and the blood and put them together, you get a basic scale of color: barely-yellow to blood red. Anywhere in there is skin color on any person. Your race (and the amount of melanin in your skin) just makes it lighter or darker, but the scale is the same.
The actual colors on any individual face are a factor of skin thickness and how close the blood lies to the surface of the skin. So if you know someone’s basic skin color (for example, that they’re Caucasian with a surfer’s tan), then you can use the scale of barely-yellow to blood red to determine the colors of highlights and shadows while painting.
I took eyedrop samples of Not Nearly Naked Enough Castiel’s face to demonstrate what I mean:
- Thicker skin (the end of your nose, your eyebrow, the corners of your mouth, and your ear) appears dull and barely-yellow. It reflects the most light and looks almost white in some places. We can’t see any blood red underneath.
- Medium skin (your forehead, cheeks, and neck) appears a somewhat richer orange. It reflects some light but also allows some light to pass through the skin so we can see a little bit of the blood red.
- Thin skin (your lips, nostrils, and eyelids) appears deep red. It reflects the least amount of light and allows the most light to pass through. These are the bits that look super cherry-colored when you’re out in the cold. The blood is very close to the surface of the skin.
If you had darker skin, or if the lighting was different, the idea would be the same: thicker skin would appear dull and more opaque (barely-yellow) and would reflect more light, whereas thin skin would appear darker and richer (blood red) because blood is closer to the surface.A general rule of thumb that I use to paint skin colors is this: (1) a lot of dull yellow, (2) a medium amount of orange, and (3) a little bit of deep red. If you pick the medium color first, then it’s easier to pick the yellow and the red from there. And it works with any skin tone in any lighting—you just have to adjust accordingly.
Watch out for hair and stubble, though. Stubble is hair, and hair is pure keratin, which means there’s no blood at all. Stubble can make skin look dull (and sometimes appear grayish).
Woooooot.
And tbh, I don’t even know if that will help anyone, but at least now you have some Cas on your dash.

OK SO i get asked about colors a lot and i’m really sorry i am so lame at giving detailed answers SO I’M GONNA ATTEMPT TO FORMULATE SOME„, BASIC TIPS I GUESS
LET ME JUST START OUT BY SAYING i’m not really a very skilled or fancy or formally educated artist (shocking i know) and i don’t take drawing very seriously, BUT I HOPE A FEW THINGS I HAVE SAY WILL HELP YOU(extra commentary in case anything is hard to read, here is the whole thing in one pic and not an obnoxious photoset)
1. HAVE FUN WHEN YOU ARE COLORING JEEZ don’t loose hair over trying really hard to study and adsorb shading and lighting ‘ruuuules’!! and while enough basic understanding is obviously important and necessary in creating believable and realistic pieces, being creative is also really important as well!! the bottom line of art is that there ARE no rules, and if you really do want to be happy with your work, i find a lot of satisfaction arises in knowing i made something only /I/ could make!! and besides, if i didn’t have fun making art, then i wouldn’t do it, frankly
2. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT TONE YOUR COLORS PORTRAY this is especially true for people and expressions and setting
since color is such a big part of a piece, it also plays a big role in setting the tone of your work!! take a minute to evaluate the context of whatever you’re drawing and then try to see what colors would best parrallel that! and especially don’t be afraid to venture into palettes you don’t normally use!! but once you choose a palette that matches the tone of your work BE SURE TO STICK WITH IT so it is contiguous in both the background and foreground
(i used twilight princess and skyward sword as an example, i hope my analysis makes sense)
3. be sure to scribble with and test how colors look together BEFORE you take them to your lines!! and finally HAVE FUN WITH YOUR COLORING i know i already said this but it’s simply tragic when an artist becomes bored/uninterested/frustrated with colors ahhh!!! remember that every artist has different coloring styles so try you best to observe others’ techniques!! pay attention to what you like about them, but ALSO pay attention to what you dislike!!
practice a lot of styles, and ask around which programs/brush settings artists use if you find yourself interested in them!! i’m sorry i can’t help you with more technicalities, but learning for yourself is also half the fun!! plus i’m a lazy motherfucker and i’m bad a tutorials anyway
OKKKKAAY THANKS FOR READING OLLIE OUT
