today is the only day you can reblog this ever

Oh boy and it’s even my birthday.

Put the torches and pitchforks away. Take it from an animation professional.

There are a few reasons why you shouldn’t whine every time there’s a reboot of something. Let’s use the new Thundercats as an example.

1. Thundercats doesn’t deserve to die. It’s a beloved property that should have a fair attempt at reaching a new generation of kids. Don’t let a misplaced sense of ownership to something that isn’t yours in the first place ruin a show for other people. You like the original? Good. You can always go watch it. A reboot of Thundercats doesn’t mean the original never happened. Think a reboot should be more action packed and play older? They tried it in 2011 and turns out viewers didn’t want it.

Consider that the new Thundercats Roar may actually do well because…

2. …it wasn’t made for you. The tastes of today’s kids are different than ours, just like how ours was different than the generation before us. Test yourself by watching the original Thundercats. And by watching it I mean actually watching several entire episodes from start to finish. Most likely you’re going to get bored and want to change it to something else. A comedic adaptation of it could just be what revives interest in the Thundercats.

3. You already know and trust the artists. You trusted them when they helped make shows like OK KO, Motorcity, Rick and Morty, etc.. They’re bringing that passion and expertise with them to Thundercats Roar.  You’d be surprised at how much a network relies on the artists’ unique voices to make their shows stand out. Just from TC Roar’s sick intro you should know that this show is bringing something to the table.

4. It’s opening doors for the things you love. Whether you like it or not, reboots like Teen Titan GO and Ben 10 are successful and kids love them. While you don’t have to love them too, you should appreciate them. It’s because of the success of shows like these that networks can have the resources to explore new original content. This is how progress is made. This is why cartoons aren’t just cat and mouse chases anymore. Who knows, maybe a network will even end up developing an original show so successful that in 10 years time trolls on the internet will hate its reboot.

5. If you’re an aspiring artist, this isn’t a good look for you. Go through your favorite artists’ twitters and tumblrs and see if they have ever said anything bad about any animated shows. You’ll find nothing, why? It’s because this is an industry of cooperation and support for your fellow artists.

A good portion of the people I follow online are artists trying to break into the industry. We see the things you say. Your rants don’t make you sound like an animation connoisseur. It makes you sound toxic and jaded about an industry you haven’t even set foot in yet. Why would a production want to commit to hiring someone they think will just be rolling their eyes at the designs the whole time?

Want a pokemon egg?

Every person who reblogs this will have a Pokémon egg in their submissions and a few days later a Pokémon will hatch from the egg.

The Pokémon will be submitted based on their blog. It may be shiny or even a legendary. (Have your submissions open and only reblog, likes do not count.)

Might as well.

Heck yesssss!!!

Woop woop seems like fun!! :0

I WANT ONE

Eh what the heck

Mind as well

Yes

Ye boiiiii

What magic is this?

Had some fun drawing some Harry Potter characters! :) 

Disney’s Harry Potter.

❤ Give love! Spread love!  ❤

Go and tell your favorite artist something nice about their art! Go-go-go!

can we just.. like then also agree that artists have to give back to the comments and likes? cause if you leave a comment and hear NOTHING it kills the interest to do it again.

Love for love.

share for share.

@euphie-rants @syliune @pinxiedust @the-moonbound @asharri

This is for all of you. I try to leave lots of nice comments and such and get so excited when I see ya’lls art on my dash, it truly lights up my day.

Aw! You are so kind ❤ ❤ ❤  *tight hugs*

I often get asked how did I make my style, and makin it a sort of tutorial instead of just a faq reply sounded best. Sorry for the wall of text though

Finally some words of comfort: please take the time for self-care today, turn off the news, take a warm bath, hug or call a family member or friend, get some sleep. 

As of tomorrow, please think of Edmund Burke’s quote “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” and remember that you are a good person, and you can do something with all that pent up energy before it turns itself on you. You can join a support group for people of colour, LGBTQ teens, people with disabilities, raped or battered women, Planned Parenthood, homeless people, refugees… You can rally for the next elections in 2018 for the Senate and Congress, and for another president in 2020. You are important, you count, and you don’t have to take this. You can do something.

Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.

Welp.

Why you shouldn't be afraid to alter your O.C.'s design if you want to

If anyone ever doubts that validity of changing their character design, think about this. It took roughly 2 or so years before Bugs Bunny even became close to how we know him nowadays, and a further 7 more years for him to have his current familiar body shape

It took from 1938 to 1948 until we had Bugs as we know him as he is today. In other words, changing your O.C.’s design (that is if you want to) is perfectly natural and you shouldn’t be worried about it!
