This fabulous bitch
She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense). I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen. Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs
or for full on fight sequences
or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.
this bitch hooked me up.
And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like
or this
or this
DUDE! INASNE SHIT!! So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash. Lemme dole it out for her. BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!! This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.
I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock. You’re worth it.
Check out this amazing woman’s stuff, and get knowledged: https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock
I have been following her for years on deviantart.
Highly reccomend checking her out. She’s the best. If I had any money to throw I’d throw it at her for providing such a big help in my life.
This hero doesn’t wear capes, she instead wears (and looks utterly flawless) in tank tops(?)
Interrupting my regular Star Wars BS to reblog this because @senshistock is amazing and beyond worth the follow and support! I first started using her refs gosh I want to say back in maybe 2008, and I’m happy to be a supporter of her over on Patreon. If you’re an artist please go find her stuff on all the platforms, you will not regret it!
Yessss, she is so awesome! Been following her for years. My favorite stock artist is jademacalla, who is, incidentally, in the last two images above. He has a lot of great angles, costumes, gear, etc! I love his hands, too.

Just so everyone knows, she recently stopped using the name SenshiStock and switched to AdorkaStock! All her links and socials have switched to that. Also she has a TikTok of her doing the poses live, which is stupid useful because you can pause it at any point in the pose for just the right reference.
Executive dysfunction in a nutshell
Been wanting to read some ML fan fics right now when I got free time. Though I am weird and like ones that are long and will take a while to read? Anyone got any suggestions? And yes....I do prefer love square garbage.
Boy do I have a LIST *clears throat and cracks knuckles*
Serendipitous Fate by SKayLanphear
It’s incomplete, but it is SO worth the read. A fic where they reveal themesleves right off the bat, but learn how to work together as Adrien and Marinette and Ladybug and Chat Noir. This came out during the show’s early stages so a lot of the backstory is different from the show (but I would venture to say it’s even better). You grow with the characters and by the end you’ve been on a huge adventure. So deep and amazing, it’s a must-read.
Still in progress. This story can put a smile on my face in an instant. Everything is the same, but Mari and Adrien HATE each other, while Ladynoir are head over heels for the other. Every chapter makes me cackle like an insane person, with its witty writing. The tension 😏 between them both is hilariously high. This author is SUPER talented. And also has amazing art for it!
Everything she writes is a literal masterpiece, but THIS ONE *chef’s kiss* Buckle yourself into the angstocoaster with this Ladynoir enemies to lovers au. It’s not too long, but it hits you hard. The writing is GORGEOUS (like always bc you can’t go wrong with her). It warms my heart every time I read it, even though I know it’ll break. And like... the first fic to ever make me bawl cry.
Speaking of bawling, I couldn’t make a ml fic rec list without this. I read this over my winter break and had SUCH a good time. It’s a historical marichat AU, where Chat Noir is a highwayman. The drama, the giddiness of a secret romance, the action, it has everything. BE WARNED that it IS angsty (read the tags). It utterly broke me, but fear not, there’s a sequel! Honestly, the imagery in this story is so lovely and the author is a sweetheart as well.
Chasing the C/h/atwalk. by Inkerfuffle
Never before have I been so INVESTED IN MY LIFE. Picture this: Marinette, competing on Project Runway (the fashion design reality show) and Adrien assigned as her model. They don’t know the other is Ladybug/Chat Noir. It’s such a blast to read and kept me constantly on the edge of my seat with every elimination and every design challenge. It’s 100k+ words but I read it in a weekend because I was having so much fun.
Lucky Us by PrincessKitty1
Gosh where do I even start. This is a non-magic AU where Marinette and Adrien are each other’s mystery pen-pals (through email). This story has excellent character growth and it feels so real and raw. Fluffy to the extremities and filled with identity shenanigans. It’s super well-written. Just one of those stories that I’ll remember for years to come because it was THAT impactful.
If you need a laugh— No scratch that— If you need a good roll-on-the-floor-can’t-breathe kind of laugh, this is a MUST. It’s Alix’s annual birthday party and the girls are ready to do whatever it takes to win the city-wide scavenger hunt... meanwhile, the boys are scared for their lives. Except poor Adrien, who doesn’t know what’s coming for him. Everything that happens here is iconic. It only has 3 chapters (still longish though) but I couldn’t NOT add this.
The ML fandom is blessed with such talented writers. These are just a few I could think of off the top of my head. Happy reading!❤️❤️❤️

Part 1 [Standard ]| Part 2 [Atypical] | Feather Markings | Tail Feathers
I have expanded the traditional 4 types; Highspeed, Elliptical, Low Aspect and High Aspect ratio, because they were very narrow and vague categories for the most part, adding High Energy, Thermal Soaring, Night Glider, and Passerine wings. I feel that these extra types make it easier to understand and visualize the differences and similarities between wing shapes.
I’ve renamed Low Aspect to Powered Soaring, and High Aspect to Dynamic Soaring for the purposes of the fact that names made it hard to understand purpose and were easily confusable.
A lot of these wing types are also affected by tailfeather shape and size, and that will change their agility and energy expenditure as the tail also generates lift.

Drawing I did, it got to the front page of reddit yesterday, and that was fun but also ridiculous since all the trump supporters were so fucking pissed off lol. I couldn't say what I wanted to say simply because it was on r/art, but in terms of Trump supporters feelings, especially for these kinds of people depicted in the photo. I don't give a flying fuck about their feelings. They can suck my dick about their feelings.
They're endangering peoples lives for superficial nonsensical reasons. I heard the argument many times that they're just desperate people who don't want handouts. First off, THOSE ARE YOUR TAXES. We collectively put money into the government EXACTLY for these kinds of reasons. The government is SUPPOSE to put the tax money into the pockets of the PEOPLE, not corporations. It's not a fucking handout, it's basically like someone paying you back. And others dared say that images like this is what's dividing the nation because we're all suppose to come together under a feckless wanna be fascist, and agree on these bullshit policies blindly to make sure the plutocracy is never questioned. Suck my ass. I'm fine with contributing to the separation. Get the fuck away from me. I CANNOT find common ground with racists, homophobes, church nuts, that believe god will punish all those who "deserve it." Simply for being black, brown, gay, poor, etc. I'm glad I fucking drew this, and I'm ELATED it pissed them off.
