I forgot that I drew this.
I don’t care if I lose a thousand followers overnight, but if you think “tranny” or “shemale” are remotely acceptable ways to refer to a transgender person, please unfollow me.
Blade, you can't say that here.
the one time they can understand him lol
Did this sketch for mother's day and put it off for so long it's August now. I can't be bothered to care, either. Anyway it's 5am. Enjoy.
Made myself on Avatoon!
Among the reflections of this period ... One thing is buzzing in my head ... If one day I had a question to ask God ... I would not ask him the meaning of life, or why there is so much disgust in this world. .. I would ask him just why, there must be so much suffering in this world that the more evolved it becomes, the darker it throws in people. Hoping to have the luck, and the honor, that our grandparents had, hoping ... To find myself a day like them, to tell my grandchildren about this damned period ... As they told us about the war .. Hoping to have the honor of them, as with great honor I carry their memory, in my heart, forever.
Good night.
There are words that you should never - or almost never - use in writing. Disengaging sense verbs, vague modifiers, passive voice — they need to go. Don’t worry about these words as you’re writing the first draft, but when it’s time for revision, break out the red pen. It’s time to destroy your manuscript.
Adverbs: lightly, pleasantly, quietly, dumbly. There’s a better verb.
"She walked slowly towards him." Change to: "She sauntered towards him."
Redundancies: needless to say, screamed loudly, end result
Suddenly
Vague words: very, really, great, thing
Sense verbs: saw, felt, smelled, heard, tasted. Unless someone is telling a story to another character, avoid these words. It’s much more effective and engaging to describe it in more objective terms.
"She smelled blood, the stench thick in the air." Change to: "The stench of blood hung thick in the air."
You get the idea? Vague is lazy. Many words are weak. Cut it, tighten your writing, and make it better.
