I Have Just Finished My Latest Grid Drawing. This Time I Drew My Dad!

This is almost exactly the same reason why I love the movie too. I only watch it to sing a long with all the songs.

At the risk of being attacked by every tumblr who hates Disney’s Pocahontas because of the real life history behind it… I just want to say from simply looking at it as a film, completely unrelated to the real life events linked to it, that it is probably one of my absolute favourite disney movies. It is just… so beautiful. Everything about it, the style, the colours, the MUSIC. It had me in awe as a child and it still does today. I get chills just listening to the film. The ending always makes me tear up, its the most bittersweet thing. I love it. She was my favourite disney princess growing up. I didnt have any actual women I looked up to in my real life, but I always thought she was so mature and compassionate and strong but totally adventurous. I wanted to be her. I still do, I admire the crap out of her. I’ve watched (listened) to it 5 times today while working. And I just… love this movie so much.

Mainly practicing shading.

First time trying scratchboard. I kinda like it.

Look at the cuties!

Santa is on strike due to global warming.  All presents this year will be delivered by Sasha the Christmas Tiger.  Milk and cookies may not be sufficient.

Not exact but, hey who cares!! Drew this for my sister but never gave it to her haha XD

I seriously need to play this game.

Finally finished 2 of 3 pictures for my project in art class. I'm really loving how these turned out.

some very important info re: paid accounts~

I am not a lawyer, but I can decently interpret legalese and, being as I also suffer from tl;dr syndrome and assume others may as well, I took one for the team and went through the updated TOS for the post+ accounts and highlighted (what I understand to be) the most pertinent information, which ultimately comes down to this:

You cannot monetize copyrighted works (aka charge and earn money from fanfic, fanworks, etc) and if you do decide to put your fanworks behind a paywall via Tumblr, when you are inevitably sued, Tumblr will not protect you and will not defend you and you alone, personally, will be responsible for whatever monetary damages said lawsuit results in.

If anyone is a lawyer and knows I've gotten any of this wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me/this post.

Screenshots taken from Tumblr's TOS (updated 7-21-21), Stripe's Account Agreement, and the post+ FAQs.

1. Your paid account will not be hosted by tumblr; it is routed through a 3rd party.

2. By signing up for a paid account, you're entering into an agreement with Stripe, so in addition to Tumblr's TOS, you are also bound to Stripe's TOS.

3. Stripe, like Tumblr, will not defend you or protect you against any lawsuits.

4. Furthermore, you may end up owing Stripe money (indemnify = compensate)

5. Tumblr's TOS specifically states that you can't put any content on your post+ account that violates any laws, including laws that protect intellectual property rights of others. This is super important, because Tumblr's post+ FAQ also states that you can post anything that you would regularly post on tumblr, which I'm sure many will take to mean that gifsets, fanworks, etc are fair game, since all of that stuff can be posted on tumblr now. However, the difference is, you're not making money from the fanworks you're posting or reblogging now. Once money enters the equation, the game changes.

Tumblr is making it seem like any and all content goes for post+ accounts, knowing 90% of this site is fanworks. This is not true and you'll be opening yourself up for lawsuits if you charge for fanworks.

6. Tumblr further disclaims any and all liability in any legal issues.

tl;dr: Please do not make a post+ account, bc you will be opening yourself to lawsuits and if that happens, Tumblr's response will be not our problem, you agreed to all the terms which said you couldn't do that, sorry not sorry. Please protect yourself.
