tutorial for drawing characters with Down syndrome!
DISCLAIMER… please keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. it’s more of an overview of features that are common in people with Down syndrome, not meaning to imply that every person with DS has all of them 👍👍 thanks
if you draw any characters using this feel free to tag me!!
Still upset that the can’t have shit in Cincinnati meme got berenstain bearsd into Detroit as someone who lived in Cincinnati it deserves that recognition you really can’t have shit there not even your own meme
Justice for the unfortunate souls still living in Cincinasty 💔
On a very positive note, doing the reverse actually benefits those around you! Can’t tell you how many folks have told me that they’ve started feeling better about themselves because I call myself hot all the time
Genuinely so self centered to see somebody else struggling with their own self image and deciding that what they’re saying is actually about you. There’s nothing to be sorry for, anyone who takes another person’s self deprecation as an attack against them is vain and lacks empathy.

I’m trying not to reblog posts on this blog but I feel that this is important to post here.
on a related note:
And for the people asking “Well if you don’t support it irl then why would you like it in fiction?!” Because when it’s happening irl real people are suffering and dying and that’s horrible and I’d never want that. But when it’s fiction, when no real people are being hurt or killed, it’s interesting to explore the experience, the effects it may have, and to an extent experience the emotions involved without actually having to experience the horrible thing. You explore scary, dangerous things from a safe distance.
me watching monsters inc as a kid: how did it take so long for anyone to figure out that human child laughter not only produced energy like screams, but was more effective, and that children aren’t actually dangerous at all?
me watching monsters inc now: monsters incorporated, a multi-billion dollar corporate giant, stood to make extra profits off a scream shortage because low supply with high demand makes it possible to charge a fortune for a necessary commodity and everyone has no choice but to pay the high prices because they can’t go without electricity. Therefore Monsters Inc, as well as any other major powers that may have existed at the start of the era of using scream energy, fabricated the idea that only screams could generate sustainable energy sources in order to create artificial scarcity, because laugh energy was far easier to obtain and far more efficient, and therefore stood to lower the value of energy due to surplus. They also fabricated the idea that human children were toxic, in order to a) make other monsters too afraid to go near them to do research and possibly discover the secret of laugh energy, and b) to make monsters so afraid of going near them that there is a shortage of scarers, making it harder for rival companies to rise up and create competition. Even in the monster world, capitalism is based on lies, greed and cruelty, and even monster companies have no qualms about using and abusing children to maximize profits.
WHY are some parents like “ooo we hate each other but we’re staying together for the kids” no no NO you’re fucking fighting and screaming at each other every day you’re traumatizing that fucking kid and making it worse
Erm heyyyy I’m back with some LESHYCAT 🔥💚💛✨🤠!!! My first time doing a comic like this so sorry if the dialogue and wording isn’t the best! Trying my hardest :3!
Hopefully if you all like this one I can make some more in the future!!!
Finnish soldier gets separated from the rest of his unit but he’s the only one carrying the emergency amphetamines for the unit, takes too many and goes on a one man rampage for like 2 weeks straight giving the opposing Soviet soldiers nightmares for decades. Oh and he did it all on skis.
Did he survive?
Yes, during his methed up 2-3 week rampage he got injured by a land mine, travelled 400km on skis, and only ate pine buds and a Siberian Jay that he caught which he ate raw. When he made it back to Finnish lines he was taken to a hospital where it was found his heart rate was nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight had dropped to 43kg (94.7lbs).
His name was Aimo Koivunen if you want to look him up
Those are the eyes of a man who has seen god and laughed
Chat they made Minecraft into a silly goofy cringe movie even through Minecraft is actually about life and earth and the universe and tearing meaning out of the ground and molding it with your hands into something that you can be proud of. They made the pink sheep look ugly and funny for a cheap laugh when it should’ve been a beautiful moment where you, age eleven, come across this rarity, this beautiful anomaly and you hold its face in your hands and stare into its chocolate brown eyes and you realize what the whole world is about. Chat they made it into a joke

How fucking annoying is it when you feel so restless with creative energy but you can’t decide what to do with it and when you finally try to create something it comes out shit so you just give up and sit there being all creatively annoyed and jittery.
1 - Decision Making Fatigue is a thing. –> Make a list of possibilities. –> Use a random number generator to pick something off the list. –> If you hate the idea cross it off and generate a new number. –> Continue until you either find a project or cross off the whole list. –> If you cross off the whole list pick a random short story prompt, write for five minutes, and call it a good work day.
2. Yeah, of course your rough draft sucks. It’s supposed to. –> Let it suck. –> You can fix it in edits.
3. When you’re stressed you aren’t unbiased about your work. –> Don’t judge your work while your are actively working on it. –> Remember to drink water, take your meds/vitamins, eat something, and get sleep. –> Double-check to make sure the restless creative energy is not displaced emotional worries over something else. If it is, displace with intention and let the worries go into your work. You shouldn’t keep stress in your head, put it on a page, or canvas, or in a carving, or a meal, or something. Get it out and let it go.
4. No work is ever wasted. –> All time spent planning and creating is useful in some way. –> Failure means you tried, which is good. –> Try again. Fail harder. Fail better. –> Keep going until you like what you’re making.
5. Love yourself enough to allow yourself to not be perfect. –> Seriously. –> If this is a struggle I highly recommend seeing a doctor or therapist about depression. –> Because you are dang lovable, my friend. You rock. You do great things. I’m proud of you.
I’m getting genuinely emotional y’all don’t understand how ISOLATING it can be when cultural dress for most other Asian countries are popular and represented and Filipino clothing barely is, LET ALONE PRE-COLONIAL?!
I- 🥹
I hope to find the time and energy to fulfil my dream of making the clothes and dressing like this
He of havoc. She of hunger. He of blight. They of might. And he who lays a soul to rest.
Anyways, decided to draw all 5 bishops! I absolutely adore these 5 omfg. I draw them compulsively. Enjoy a group bust shot! And, to my clinically insane and freaky followers, you may enjoy too,
Fun fact!! While in the United States, the twin towers were attacked on September 11th, in the rest of the world it didn’t actually happen until almost two months later. This is because Americans use Month/Day/Year format instead of Day/Month/Year like most other countries, meaning that 9/11 actually falls on November 9th for most of the world.
to all non-americans: remember to start preparing for your 9/11 celebrations today!
The finnish word for “drone” is “lennokki”, basically turning the verb lentää - to fly - into a noun. So it’s “thing that flies”. Unfortunately, that’s also the word for paper airplane. To clarify which one you mean, you may need to specify you mean paper airplane, paperilennokki. So these two are both called the same thing, but if you mean the one on the left, you clarify that you mean paper drone.
