Welcome to my blog!

I'm Petrichor. I post my art here sometimes, reblog stuff, and ramble about things related to my many interests. (Including but not limited to The Owl House, Dungeon Meshi, Baldur’s Gate 3, yttd, The Locked Tomb, Dimension 20, D&D, I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, Arcane, Science, and Ancient/Medieval History.)

Hey you all know about that fungus that possesses ants to make them climb on the tip of grass blades in hopes of getting eaten by a cow, so that the fungus can continue its life cycle in the cow's guts? Because I think that's the kind of thing that's wrong with cave divers.

We don't know what's down there. We don't know what's gotten into their heads that makes them so determined to physically, personally go down there to find out. But I wouldn't entirely dismiss the possibility that whatever has gotten into them is very invested in getting eaten by whatever is down there.

if you asked kim whether he regrets transferring to the 41st he would say no, but there are moments he’s come close. minific version under cut

you can be peeling a boiled egg and think to yourself wow. that was so simple. and then you peel another one and it’s like being in the throes of war. shell everywhere. egg mangled. tears in your eyes. that’s how god keeps you humble

a custom commission for @honig-bienchen! my final commission project for the year, and one of the most fun. i've been wanting to make a dragonborn doll for a while, but had not gotten around to it, and this character design was incredibly cute & a joy to work with.

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things

Drawing challenge: draw your favorite male characters like this

this is exactly why i’m a huge fan of posemaniacs!

you get 3d model pose references with the option of having a male or female anatomy for each pose

they have a WIDE VARIETY of poses that you can search for using a TAG SYSTEM

(as you can see by the scroll bar in the second image there is Even More Tags)

you can select a pose you like for larger viewing and the convenience doesn’t stop!!!

you have full 360 viewing range of the pose plus zooming in and out

and what’s that? a TOOLBAR?? MENU?? THING??

Correct!

the eye button hold a very fun menu

negative space blacks out the background and fills the pose with a solid white silhouette

the “texture” refers to the skin situation of the model with the “color” and “grey” shown below

(i usually use color personally)

then there’s the option of different sized drawing grids(4 and 16 below)

idk wtf bounding box is about but it looks like this if it matters to you

“floor” toggles all shadows on the floor, “floor grid” you guessed it puts a like perspective guide grid on the floor that goes to forever, and “shadow” toggles ALL shading. there is NO lighting happening if you turn that off. NONE.

NEXT ITEM! that box thing with the line through it? flips the pose horizontally.

the little person symbol? lets you switch anatomies

camera icon? you can choose from a selection of preset camera angles PLUS an option for … idk what to call it but you can do this!

less flat right!! i’m sure there’s a word i just don’t know but this is maximum *that* so there is less *that* if you want it

the lightbulb gives you a menu like the camera one but it offers a selection of lighting styles with variable intensity

CHARMING!

and that’s not even everything this site provides!!!!!!! they have tutorials, instructional videos, lessons, all sorts of shit!!! (although they are vast majority if not all in japanese just a heads up)

AND ITS ALL FREE

DONT EVEN NEED TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT OR APPROVE OF COOKIES JUST GET IN DO YOUR THING GET OUT NO STRINGS ATTACHED

and if you don’t have ad blocker or are on mobile(like me) NOT TO WORRY

the ads are few and far between! ZERO video ads, NONE take over your screen or glitch you at all, they are of no concern i forget they’re there!

(this is not at all sponsored btw i’m just a genuine fan of this site and i’m happy to spread the good word unprompted)

an anonymised and edited exchange between a streamer (they/them) i like and a creepy alt-right bully who made a hate video about them. tw: transphobia

alt-right chud: you might realise i'm referring to [streamer] as their chosen pronouns of 'they/them'. i assure you it's not because i respect that identity, it's simply because i genuinely can't tell if they're a boy or a girl

streamer: *hits pause*

streamer: holy shit. my friends, no gender euphoria hits harder than the gender euphoria you get unintentionally from your greatest enemy. this guy can say whatever he wants for the rest of this video, he can never take this away from me. i'm fucking reeling

picking up speech patterns from people you love is so wonderful. I’m just talking and the first words that come to mind remind me of them. It’s harder to feel lonely when traces of my friends are in my speech and internal monologue. Life is beautiful sometimes

I'm watching Pingu right now and wow how did I forget that Pingu once tried to recreate the Tower of Babel.

Would love to hear the Vatican's opinions on this.

they are animals, and thus free of sin. In fact, doctrinally, animals give glory to God merely by existing so. Pingu’s fine

But by creating a tower tall enough to reach God's kingdom, would they achieve sin?

"At one famous trial in Autun, France, in 1522, some rats were charged with feloniously eating and wantonly destroying the province's barley crop and so were ordered to appear in court. “ if rats can commit crimes, penguins can sin

That’s French courts though. France is a perversion of every law, moral, or truth known to man or heaven.

See im a big humanities fan in THEORY but. I was not built for writing. why is it that all my homework is WRITING. even my sci homework is writing. math has it right they should let me do my little puzzles and call it work. i miss my stem subjects rahhh. let me play my homework games. science literally feels like magic and instead i have to write an essay. i could be learning fucking magic. the world is crue;.... amd unjust
