Everyone taking the Steamboat Willie design and making it do things Disney wouldn't sanction like....
you could have done that anyway. Disney would not have sued you for that. He didn't need to be in the public domain for you to do that.
Disney would have had a problem with you if you tried to sell Steamboat Willie. Not that you made him swear ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Public Domain is about being able to sell your version of the character, not "do whatever you like with it for free". You could do whatever you like with it on the internet anyway, you will not face consequence. Just as long as you didnt try to make money off of it - no one was going to come after you.
I know other people are keeping their birdmas things under wraps but I think this goes rlly hard and everyone should be hyped for this. anyways how many times do you think I can draw the bus crash before I get sick of it
Honestly I'd love to know what kind of comments you'd be adding to the fic for your mother. Very curious :0 (also I'm terrible at knowing what information an outsider would and wouldn't have and/or would need)
Sure, I'll add a few. (Redacted since my google account is my full name.) Also remember that y'all also got the benefit of my author's notes, but I'm not giving my mom the AO3 copy because over my dead body does she look at that account. I'm giving her a document copy. So a lot of the comments will likely be details you guys already got in either a post or author's note.
^^^ This one is written specifically because my mom, like me, has been going to Big Bend National Park since she was young. A member of my family has gone there nearly every single year since....1965? lol. So it's a fun tidbit for her to know I was thinking of it while writing this. (There will be a similar note when the Pinnacles trail comes up, because I named Pinnacles after a trail in Big Bend.)
me trying to explain Scar's general dramatic flair (i also have a comment somewhere explaining that Scar is dyslexic and that is why he occasionally mispronounces stuff in the fic, and why he says the scientific documents the rangers let him borrow were difficult to get through)
nicknames
My mother and I are both Gary the cat stans. Trust me she knows Exactly what I am picturing here.
^^ a few other comments on the story, ranging from "background character details" to "research details" to "totally unecessary personal opinions"
it's also fun for little self-aware asides:
She already knows a significant amount of the plot, including the ending, because I talked to her about it. That is also why she gets to read it, because the moment I opened my mouth about writing it I basically had to. I don't always talk about my writing with her but I really wanted to talk about this one. So! By talking about it I just made the decision for myself that I'd allow her to read it. She is....very excited haha. And I am too? I mean I think I am going to send it to her and then just immediately go back to my apartment so I don't have to be in the same house as her while she's reading it LOL. The embarassment of people who know you too closely reading your things etc etc. But I'm very proud of this story and I don't think she realizes how good of a writer I can be. She knows I'm good at it (like, she's read my essays and newspaper stories) but not how I handle fiction.
can proudly say i have finally seen the green bolero man live! Or, well, from a very big screen from behind a gate and some bushes but we heard everything clearly and saw him pretty well too! And it was a mild and safe all ages show but fun regardless!
There were a lot of families watching and listening outside the gates who were even dressed in green. There was this one boy maybe 6 yrs old right in front of us who was so incredibly hyped, jumping along to every song, screaming every time Jere asked ppl to make noise and even took his shirt off for Paidaton riehuja lol. I wanted to say to the parents pls actually take him to all ages show at some point he has the right attitude for käärijä's gigs, it was so cute.
Also it was fun to be there with my sister who hasn't really watched that many live clips and every time Jere took a detour to some random topic and especially when he started singing Fröbelin palikat she went "so is this part of the show or like what is going on??" and i was like just go with it he's always like this lmao
I usually don't make these types of posts, whenever I'm busy I kinda just disappear and not post for like 10+ days and then post randomly one day, but I feel like I kinda need to preface this.
With the upcoming finals, the end of my college semester, and another secret thing I wont reveal, I'll be focusing my writing and energy into my schoolwork and the other thing. I probably won't post much until I'm either done with all my work or the semester has ended. I'm still available via discord and tumblr dms tho! So don't be afraid to chat or dm me!
If I do post, it'll probably be pretty short. Maybe like, drabbles and drabble sequences I made while waiting for teachers and stuff. And also maybe updates of longfics that have buffers. That's all, tho.
I'm so sorry! I'll be back in mid to late December, I promise!
maybe i am weird but every year i NEVER understand the hype surrounding spotify wrapped, especially on this app. i mean if you wanna share your music and answer asks about it, i just don’t see why wait for one specific time at the end of the year….just share it from playlists?? its not like the songs in your wrapped aren’t also present in your likes or playlists
I would just like to say thank you to everyone who interacted with my Sleep Token SFX post in the past 24 hours! I've admittedly had a lot of fun reading through the reblogs, lol.
If you haven't already seen them you can find them here:
Part One -> One, Two, Jaws and The Way That You Were
Part Two -> Sundowning and This Place Will Become Your Tomb
Part Three -> Take Me Back To Eden
Unlike a lot of my other ST posts, this one took a long time to put together, mainly because I found the only spare time I had was late in the evening, and after half an hour I was starting to loose it with headphones on and the music at 60 trying to figure out if there's the sound of knocking or if I'm starting to go a bit off my rocker, so I'm really glad it's gotten the interaction it has.
Also, thank you for pointing out the animal noises in Chokehold! Completely missed those. Further, about Decending and Fallen Down, I'm actually so happy someone else heard it; I thought I was spouting nonsense with that one! I had the joy of listening to some echoed piano version of Fallen Down, and then Decending immediately after, and for a split second I thought I was still listening to Fallen Down. I'm really happy with notes on the SFX in The Offering, Like That, When The Bough Breaks etc are stuff people can actually hear as well, and, again, weren't just me spouting nonsense.
+ For those worried about spam liking/reblogging; don't worry about it! Just let's me know you're interested enough to put your own thoughts into it, let alone to read the other two posts after the one you've already read!
Again, thank you to everybody who's been interacting with those posts; means my hours of staring at my laptop and playing back a song fifteen odd times for some noise I swore I had heard the first eight times but has now disappeared has come to a sort of fruition <3
(Plus! I'm thinking about putting this onto a thread on twt, since some of my other stuff has already been reposted on there, both with and without credit, unfortunately, so if you see this on there under the user '_melit0n', don't worry! That's just me. Might do the same on Reddit if people are interested.)
A lady I used to do kung-fu with spent her summers crab fishing in Alaska and she’d bring her cat to stay in a little cabin with her. She’d come back from shifts on the boat with fresh crab and fish for her cat to enjoy! Always made me want to visit Alaska, despite the harsh landscape and isolation it seems like people can find their own little slice of magic there
Alaska is so so wonderful, and it’s really cool to be living somewhere on the cutting edge of indigenous-led conservation work (i.e. my field).
I have a spare room and I keep annoying all my friends to come visit me lol. None of them are super excited for winter visits.
SP with Luckity is like when your pets start getting too aggressive and won't stop fighting each other so you take them to the vet to get them fixed in hopes of it calming them down except instead of chopping their balls off he put them in the magical lobotomy tubes
oops, all persona 3! art summary for 2022, thank you to everyone for all of the kind words and support! cheers to another year of fun art experiments and drawing things that i enjoy 💛💙
