whoops I accidentally may have made a mascot. She is a possum with a pencil and her best friend is a mosquito. Let’s see if I even remember them next year

Feeling an incredibly weird specific nostalgia but what piece of media defined 2020 for you (as in you spent that year with it) mine is mtv's catfish

why bother caring about the environment when 1. It’s so obviously a lost cause and 2. There’s definitely going to be a nuclear war?

And what are you doing about it Anon? Learn about ecological restoration or get out of my way.

I don't understand the argument that expanding copyright law can be dangerous for people in fandom spaces like fanartists and fic authors. It's been pretty much settled that fanart and fanfic are not copyright infringement because they're protected under fair use.

Fanart and fanfic are, in fact, still copyright infringement and still technically illegal.

Fair use is an affirmative defense, which is a legal argument that acknowledges that the defendant broke the law, but presents reasons why they should be excused from liability for their unlawful action, or their liability should be reduced.

So claiming fair use doesn't mean something stops being illegal under copyright law, it means you are admitting that you broke the law by violating someone else's copyright, but you're arguing the violation was minor or justifiable enough and what you created with it was transformative enough that you shouldn't be punished for it.

do you ever draw something for yourself that’s so deliciously self-indulgent that you just sit there like

[Image ID: 2 digital drawings of a short-haired person drawing on a tablet. In the first image they are looking at the screen and blushing pink. In the second image they are looking away from the screen and blushing more heavily, with the caption “…is this allowed?”. End ID]

i dont think usamericans rly understand how prevalent their culture is. english is taught in schools. we hear about usa news, watch usa shows and movies, know usa actors, read usa books, listen to usa music, have usa brands. i have a shirt somewhere with some usa flag motive from like 15 years ago. cant remember why i even have it. why were they even selling that in croatia. your books and culture are everywhere, you dominate social media, and then come on here whenever someone gives even a middle criticism and act like spoiled children because someone wants you to open an atlas

Can't be sincerely dark without being called edgy, can't be sincerely emotional without being called melodramatic, can't be sincerely silly without being called stupid. They're gonna hate every emotion you put in your art no matter what so make it anyway and be as sincere as you can be

imo sharing your art for free online for strangers to see it requires a lot of courage. A lot of mental strength. Im being serious rn i think if youve ever shared anything online and even if its not popular even if only a few people have seen it i think thats very very brave
