The thing with a “main character”, is that the reader see the story/world from that characters point of view - we can often read the characters thoughts and feelings more than other characters in the story. You can also use the perspective to increase this “effect”.
You can use the eye-level to display the world seen from the main character. Look at the two pictures above, the characters have the same size on both pictures - the only difference I’ve made is to switch eye-level. And by just doing this, we switch between the adult and the kids point of view - even though they both look at the same thing.
So, when you are doing a perspective, FIRST decide the eye-level and after that start placing out all those annoying guidelines.
this is fucking MAGIC holy crap

I’m going to tell you what a demon once told me: It is okay to want your own happiness. It’s okay to care about yourself the most. It’s okay to do what’s healthy for YOU. When someone hits you, it’s okay to hit back and then ask them what the hell they expected. It’s okay. You are not obligated to sit there and smile and swallow every bit of shit everyone heaps on you. You are more than furniture, you’re more than window dressing, you’re not their shiny toy. You’re human, and you have the right to say “That was shitty of you”. You have a right to say “Let me feed that back to you; tell me, how does it taste?” You have a right to protest your own mistreatment and set boundaries for respectful interactions. The rest of the world doesn’t realize you have this right, and they will act offended and appalled when you exercise it, but it is yours.

Gaucho Knife
- Dated: circa 1920
- Place of Origin: Europe/South America
- Measurements: knife length: 10.75in (270mm); blade length: 6in (150mm)
This is a South-American Gaucho knife, dated circa 1900, with a makers stamp of “El-Casco, Solingen”. It was probably made in Europe for the South American market. The knife itself has a short straight double edged blade. The iron hilt and scabbard are nickel/silver plated, with beautiful floral decoration, and a sculptural chape/pommel.
There’s a large loop on the top of the hilt and a belt clip on the scabbard. A simple Google search of ‘El-Casco’ reveals that this knife was probably made by a company of the same name and logo, established in 1920 in Basque country of Spain making firearms, but now make luxury desktop accessories.

When Commander Chris Hadfield covered David Bowie’s Space Oddity on board the International Space Station, how were the intellectual property rights handled?
The song “Space Oddity” is under copyright protection in most countries, and the rights to it belong to Mr Bowie. But compulsory-licensing rights in many nations mean that any composition that has been released to the public (free or commercially) as an audio recording may be recorded again and sold by others for a statutorily defined fee, although it must be substantively the same music and lyrics as the original. But with the ISS circling the globe, which jurisdiction was Commander Hadfield in when he recorded the song and video? Moreover, compulsory-licensing rights for covers of existing songs do not include permission for broadcast or video distribution. Commander Hadfield’s song was loaded onto YouTube, which delivers video on demand to users in many countries around the world. The first time the video was streamed in each country constituted publication in that country, and with it the potential for copyright infringement under local laws. Commander Hadfield could have made matters even more complicated by broadcasting live as he sang to an assembled audience of fellow astronauts for an onboard public performance while floating from segment to segment of the ISS.
I remember hearing a few years ago that space lawyers were going to be needed a lot in the coming decades. Here’s one of the reasons why.
