What kind of stupid question is that?

something i love about mr. henry fox is that he never hates himself for being gay.

he hates being closeted, he hates the weight of history bearing down on his shoulders and the pressure from the Crown, but he never hates that he is gay.

it's refreshing and i love him.

So, even in a different life,

you still would've been mine

We would've been timeless.

hi guys

I'm sorry to ask this again: ik some of you are aware that I haven't been doing ok in terms of my condition, and part of why that is is bc I can no longer afford to see my psychiatrist and afford regular therapy sessions.

in the philippines, insurance usually won't cover mental health services, and prices are regularly increasing everywhere. my bills are piling on top of each other; I don't make nearly enough to cover everything, but I really want to be well again 😞

I apologize as I can't take requests or take any more commissions as I still have the last 2 ongoing, so all I can ask for rn is donations 😞 any amount will do, even if it's just $1. if you can't donate, that's ok! just sharing or reblogging will be a big help.

sorry again, and thank you 😞

Hello Warriors ✴️

[shirmir]

literally most things that people write off as just ‘textures’ to use in graphics are stolen & unsourced material created by artists or photographers NOT meant to be used as elements in projects without royalty payments. you can say ‘it’s just random tumblr posts they don’t care’ but you wouldn’t want someone to take your work and edit into their work so they can be praised for their beautiful style and creativity even if they just post it on social media w/o profit, would you?? so maybe if you browse pinterest or google images for pictures without finding the original source, you’re using images that you’re not allowed to use without realizing it.

you see it on here a lot especially in (i won’t link anything but i’m sure you know what i mean) those album track ‘aesthetics’ posts, au ‘aesthetic’ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of ‘texture’ elements. and texture packs too!! that’s often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???

SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use

creativemarket has 6 free high-quality resources (textures, brushes, fonts, etc), different every week! wow awesome i check it every week

search ‘freebie’ on behance. awesome stuff!!! lots of v nice templates textures and fonts

mockup zone freebies

unsplash: tons of very nice free photographs, not shitty stock photos

pexels: same idea. + they have an adobe plugin so you can get photos without closing your editor damn nice

pixelsquid is a super cool free program (again w a ps plugin that i love) with lottts of super cool hq 3d elements!

as to not make this too long: spoongraphics, lostandtaken (textures galore), pixeden, freebiesbug.
