Only two and a half hours apart.

As an artist, I really want to stress that PornHub was absolutely on it when Tumblr banned The Tiddy, being more than eager to let artists know that they can, in fact, have image galleries on PornHub.

I’ve… thought about that.

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

Isayama Featured in Today’s Yomiuri Shimbun; Author of Article States, “It seems [SnK] will end in one or two years.”

In today’s Japanese national newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, Isayama shared details about the manga series, and the author of this feature states that it seems the series will “end in one or two years” (Possibly through information gathered from the interview itself).

Additional parts of the interview below: (Translation by @suniuz; Edited by @fuku-shuu; Please credit if used)

In regards to the series, Isayama thought about “what is fear.” “At first, I drew a titan made of rocks all over his body, but then all of a sudden I thought about an exhibition I visited as an elementary school student.”

There was an exhibition in 1998 in Fukuoka, near his hometown of Oita - it exhibited dead bodies being chemically treated as medical specimen (Western readers might know this as Body Worlds). All in all, there was this “boom” of fascination with dead bodies in the late 90s.

“The specimen were really scary. The Colossal titan was born out of my memories of that experience. To me, maybe the Colossal Titan possesses the image of ‘death.’”

Mindless titans were inspired by drunk customers at the internet cafe where he had a part time job (We know this from Isayama’s past interviews)

There is a sense of sadness in the eyes of the Colossal Titan. This is because Isayama doesn’t want to make it merely a “commercial product” that scares people. “Even though titans symbolize violence and hatred at the beginning, I hope once people read it over again, they can see something different.”

When discussing the young protagonist who can turn into a titan, people often assume the idea is associated with Tezuka Osamu’s “Big X,“ But In fact Isayama never has never read that work. Rather, he was influenced by the dissection scenes from the medical surgeries in “Black Jack.”

“People often ask me what the titans symbolize, but I don’t intend for them to be a satire of reality. I want to introduce a perspective to think about ‘what is justice’ in a relative way.”

“My work entails depiction of violence, so perhaps it will hurt some readers. But even so, I still created this work from my gut, thinking ‘I want to read a manga like this one.’ It is unlikely that I can be a ‘nice person’ at the end.”

PSA for everyone thinking abt opening a patreon:

create and launch ur patreon before may. it doesnt have to be the final version, u don’t have to publicly announce it yet if ur not ready, just launch it for now. patreon is implementing creator plans wherein it will take a bigger portion of ur revenue if u wanna make award tiers & join after may. to keep the revenue where it’s at now & keep its current benefits, launch one soon, even if ur not sure u want to open a patreon yet. (“Creators who launch on Patreon before the plans become available will have founder’s status, and will automatically be enrolled in the Pro plan, with their current pricing.”)

[[ SO. As the struggling college student and artist that I am, I’m gonna go ahead and give this a try. Tumblr’s being kinda stingy with the NSFW content and I really don’t wanna risk getting all deleted again. Thus, most of my NSFW content will now go to Patreon alone…In here I’ll only post mild NSFW.

There will be two monthly exclusive drawings, one SFW and one NSFW, which my patrons will be able to choose through a poll. As a patron, if you want to see something specific, you can let me know and I’ll choose the most requested ones for the next polls!

Please check out my pledges and the other rewards! Right now the goal is to reach at least $150usd, after which I’ll launch a storenvy with charms and probably prints. This is a project I’ve wanted to do for a while now, so please! Anyone who’s interested, go check it out! <3 Reblogging also helps out a ton! ]]
