Mama cat encourages her kitten to escape

THE MAMA CAT IS SO PROUD OF HER KITTEN

Blind cat hugs his favorite pianist when he hears him play. (via sarperduman)

My grandparents left their home country as children when they heard the whispering of antisemitism starting in their home town. They got out and fled to America so I and future generations could be safe from persecution and mass murder. Only 2 generations ago.

And now America is becoming that country that they probably would have fled.

If you are not resisting, you are part of the problem.

And yes, I want non-Jews to reblog

Except I’m sorry but it’s not is it? A couple thousand white dudes babbling about jew conspiracies is not equal to Hitler and the holocaust no matter what. A couple thousand vs a few million? Your country isn’t fucking dumb. They FOUGHT to SAVE your kind and lost tens of thousands of men in the process. How about, fucking stop making it sound like the majority is Nazi and actually do some research. Jesus fucking christ.

HI YES i’m still alive (barely lol)

here’s something .. summer-y – idk kinda sad since i haven’t even been able to visit a beach/pool O<-<

anyway i hope everyone else is having an amazing time ♥ - btw i snap updates/wips on my IG stories sometimes :D

MCs face in the last panel is really cute ❤️

Dear artists...

No, I’m not going to link back to your page. I edited out your ugly signature too. I paid for the art. It is mine.

Don’t worry, this does not mean I take credit for drawing it. When people ask if I drew it, I say “Nope.” When people ask who did, I say, “Sorry, I don’t remember.”

Just because I bought your art does not mean our profiles have to be linked forever. It’s the same if I buy an apple from the grocer. I don’t have to keep the sticker on it or tell people where it came from. I’m not a walking advertisement for your shop.

If you want credit so badly, then I should get a cut of your future profits for my part in the advertising.

I know I’m probably going to get the wrath of whiny, entitled artists for this, but I don’t care. I won’t be making a shrine around their art dedicated to them. I paid for a service, and now we should go our our separate ways!

alright so there’s a lot of fucked up parts in this post but?? right off the bat?? “I edited out your ugly signature too”??? I’m sorry but that’s really stupid?

if you bought a physical, painted-on-canvas drawing, would you still go through the trouble of trying to edit out the signature there too? Because literally the only difference between that scenario and this one is that the canvas can be physically held and displayed, where the digital painting stays in a digital venue.

Do not be a dick to artists. Fucking don’t edit out their signatures, credit them where they are due. Don’t be like the asshole OP. If you commission an artist, respect them enough to credit them.

Dear people who think like OP;

Please do not ever fucking commission me. My signature is an A, but I don’t care if an artist’s signature is a giant fucking watermark half as big as the piece. If you cut out their signature, you cut out their effort. Do you have to make a little URL tag that links back to my page or DA or tumblr or whatever? No. Would it be nice? Yeah. Is it a good habit to do anyway? Yeah.

But unless you’re paying me USD and we’ve made it part of the agreement that my signature will NOT be on the art- leave the fucking signature on the art. You purchased art that has the signature. Once you alter it, you’re violating our purchase agreement. The artist produced that art for your agreed upon purchase price with the understanding that what they were sending- signature fucking included- would remain on the piece.

If they knew that you were going to use their art independently without any sort of remaining credit like that, then the price very well may have been different or they might not have agreed to do the art at all.

Damn, OP Edgy McEdgerson is really proud of being a dickhead. No one’s saying you’re linked forever, and no, “I didn’t draw it and don’t remember who did” doesn’t absolve you, you chucklefuck.

SIGNAL BOOOST

…Although, as an artist, I have seen some completely horrible signatures on tumblr posts. Sometimes they’re so obnoxious that I hide the comments on a post and tag with something like “Artist’s comment/source in the original post.” Not because I hate artists, but because I acknowledge that artists aren’t always the best when it comes to brevity. 

When I show my stuff here on Tumblr, I keep whatever DA link came with the automatic sharing of the post. I include a comment about the work if I feel it needs actual context, but otherwise I just have the link to the original post on DA and to my profile on DA. That’s it. I don’t link Facebook, Twitter, Etsy, Flickr, Instagram, and whatever other god forsaken social media people can easily find me on. 

My advice to artists? If you want people to know your social media connections and other display sites for your art, keep a list of links available on your Tumblr and other websites. If the idea of someone removing all your links from your comment really bothers you so much, maybe you should do your fans a favor and keep the spam in your comment to a minimum. Have a contact list on your sites and keep it at that. And if you still want those links in your comment on your work, just link to “contact” and link that list of sites. 

At the risk of stretching your dash. Let me tell a small story. the story is:

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST.

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST.

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST. 

CHANCES ARE THEY ARE GOING TO WORK VERY HARD ON YOUR PIECE  

THEY MIGHT EVEN BE ANXIOUS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED 

SOMETIMES THEY LOSE STEAM HALF WAY BECAUSE LIFE THROWS OBSTACLES IN THE WAY. 

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST, THEY WILL HAVE SPENT TIME AND EFFORT ON YOUR PIECE. THEY MIGHT HAVE GONE THOUGH SOME TURMOIL IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING IT. BUT IN THE END YOU WILL HAVE WHAT YOU PAID FOR. 

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR WORK AND WHAT THEY PROVIDED, THE ARTIST WILL BE VERY HAPPY AND PROUD. THEY WORKED VERY HARD ON IT! THEY PROBABLY WON’T MIND IF YOU SHOW IT TO OTHER PEOPLE, IT WOULD HELP THE ARTIST A LOT! (BUT IT’S OKAY IF YOU DECIDE TO KEEP IT TO YOURSELF TOO….)

BUT IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST… 

AND YOU SEE THE ONE SECTION THAT TIES SAID ARTIST TO THE PRODUCT THEY WORKED SO HARD ON….. 

….AND DECIDE TO TAKE IT OFF 

YOU HURT THE ARTIST EMOTIONALLY…..

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND EDIT THEIR NAME OFF THE PIECE….

YOU ARE SAYING “FUCK YOU ARTIST, I COULD HONESTLY CARE LESS ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS. I PAID FOR IT SO OBVIOUSLY I DESERVE TO TAKE THE CREDIT FOR SOMETHING I HAD NO HAND IN BESIDES PAYING FOR IT TO BE CREATED.”

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST, DELETE THEIR SIGNATURE, AND SHOW IT OFF, YOUR FRIENDS WILL ENJOY IT AND SHOW IT TO OTHER FRIENDS. THOSE FRIENDS MIGHT WANT TO BUY SOMETHING SIMILAR! BUT THE ARTIST ISN’T GETTING CREDIT FOR IT BECAUSE YOU ESSENTIALLY TOOK THEIR WORK AND CLAIMED THE WORK, EFFORT, AND SKILL FOR YOURSELF, ALL BECAUSE YOU PAID FOR IT. (SOUNDS CRAPPY RIGHT?)

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST

CHANCES ARE PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE. CHANCES ARE THEY TOOK THE COMMISSION TO PAY SOME BILLS AND REALLY NEEDED THE MONEY.

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND DELETE THEIR SIGNATURE….

chances are you are not the first one to do that.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

THIS IS ALL SO IMPORTANT

Important!!!!

Everyone that appreciated art should be aware of this

Whoever sins enough to do this: fuck you

One of the many curses of having a girlfriend~

That’s some solid advice from Luna. Talking might make Celestia feel better! Thanks for the art, Raiscio. Hope you had fun!! And we hope you will join us in a few hours for the Cadance Challenge!! Artists Included: Raiscio (http://raiscio.tumblr.com)

Put the wrong link in there lol

Look what I’ve pulled out of my hat for @beach-city-mystery-girl

It’s a wild cadmac! I mean is cadence x shining even canon anymore?

For the picture in proper quality, please click on it. It goes weird when I post it.

Aw look, rarijack having a sleepover! How cute. Time to ruin it. *maniacal laughter*

You may notice that Rarity’s room is rather plain. This is intentional, not laziness. I mentioned in the picture where they’re younger that Rarity’s mother is a lawyer. What I didn’t mention was that Rarity was only visiting her mother that weekend. At the time Rarity was in foster care; her father was a drunk asshole who hit her mother and sometimes Rarity, and she was taken away from the two at the age of eight. Later, after her mother broke up with her father, she was granted visiting rights, but still wasn’t allowed to keep Rarity. In honesty, that suited her mother fine, she never wanted a child. So Rarity was left in foster care, where the other kids picked on her for being overweight and she struggled to adapt to living poor. Later, when she had just turned fourteen, her mother stopped visiting and answering her phone, leaving Rarity alone to rot in foster care until it spat her out. However, a few months later she was fostered by a japanese couple in their thirties with a four year old kid. They’d wanted to foster a child because the father, Hudson, was fostered as teen and it changed his life, and they’d hoped to change someone else’s too. Rarity was admittedly difficult, fully convince they would tire of her and send her back, but they never really gave up. Now, three years later, Rarity is settled and happy, but still has issues with commitment, and fears that if she gets into a real relationship she’ll hurt them like she was hurt. But, she does eventually ease into a relationship with Applejack, then precedes to cheat on her and break up with her for AJ’s safety and yada yada but that’s a story for another day.

Also Rarity likes Steven Universe. I’m sorry I had to. And she totally makes Applejack watch it and Applejack pretends she hates it but she totally watches it in her spare time.

Can’t really go into detail right now, I’m having a bad day, but I might come back to this tomorrow or something expand it, I’m aware it seems very rushed

Not until my children meet in your Teen Angst AU

Wouldn’t it be weird if I made a whole Alternative Universe where these three were a greaser gang called The Colts and Rarity, Cadence and Fluttershy were a gang called The Violets and they all wanted Sunset Shimmer to join their respective gangs but all Sunset wants is to date some random nerd called Twilight Sparkle? And then to add on to the drama Cadence wants to date Big Mac but is afraid she won’t be able to because he’s the brother of Applejack, who’s in the rival gang? And then just to pile on the garbage theirs also this gang of preppy bast-basketballs composing of Blueblood, Starlight and Trixie, and Starlight and Trixie are in a secret relationship that Rarity catches them in and blackmails them with, only to find out she is also a gay and falls in love with Applejack? Meanwhile Applejack attempts to come to terms with her sexuality by talking to Big Mac but Big Mac doesn’t get why she would want to date another girl unless she thought she was a guy, which is only further deepened by the fact he’s always suspected she might be trans (but she’s not)???????? And then more stuff happens which will be documented in a different post?

Whoops too late I did it. Sorry not sorry.

Reblog if you've actually SEEN the movie "The Aristocats"

Let’s see who’s over 18

I watched it so many times, I burnt out the VHS.

You know shit got real when someone pulled out the term, ‘VHS’.

I FREAKING LOVE WATCHING THIS MOVIE the animation is just so precious

I have, but I’m not over 18, Lol. It was on Netflix for awhile

We had the VHS and a couple of the scenes made me CRY WHEN I WAS TINY but I love this movie h ell

Me Me Me Me MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

My VHS tape was so old I don’t have a single memory of watching this movie without the im screen cracking throughout the beginning part of it

We literally used to have towers of VHS tapes that almost reached the ceiling and they were all stored in my room and fell on top of me like once a week or something (miracle I’m not brain damaged at this point) and then CDs came and we donated them all to a charity shop. I never knew how much you could miss getting hit in the head with VHS tapes until that day.

I'm not quite over 18 but I'm so grateful for my parents who are Disney fanatics who had me watch ALL the Disney movies. Love them all! Love The Aristocats! ❤️
