If you’ve ever wondered how reposting hurts artists- yesterday I found a post from 2012ish featuring one of my Sherlock/Doctor Who pieces. That post had 17,604 notes. It wasn’t my post. My post of that art had 0 notes.

Apparently I saw the post once when it was at 6k because an artist I admired reblogged it, but at that stage I was very unwell & not experienced enough with Tumblr to realise what effect it might have.

Looking through the notes now I see that in the six years since then-

  • Several people got the design as a tattoo.
  • A number liked it enough to want custom designs but didn’t know how to contact me so that’s approximately £300 I didn’t get a chance to earn.
  • Someone used that art in the front cover of a comic by accident and while the company fixed it after I contacted them that’s exposure that it’s far too late to capitalise on now.

If you like an artwork that you find off tumblr, please, please I am begging you search for the artist’s name and see if they do actually have a Tumblr you could reblogged from instead. If you’re an artist search your username(s) every so often to see if your work has been taken.

A few hundred quid might not seem like a lot, but that’s a few months of income for me

You want to know what annoys the hell out of me as a green lantern fan? This panel from losh in the 31st century (the comic that goes with the cartoon)

The reason why is this

Who is that? My best guess is Kyle Rayner, but then what happened to his stupid looking mask!?!? And also he is supposed to be half latino, so why does he look so white, why?

There’s two animated versions of Kyle so far:-

Superman animated with the most Hal Jordan looking Kyle in the universe

Justice League Unilimited animated is a step better with at least giving him black hair.

The Super man version of Kyle appeared in 1999, and the Justice league Unlimited cartoon in 2004. I suspect the original costume was based on John Stewart’s costume design at the time 

and I suspect that the slight design change was to make it in line with his “dog collar” outfit designed by Jim Lee, before Geoff Johns took over and did Rebirth bringing Hal Jordan back

The skin colour… Kyle sorta started out darker, but as time went on he got lighter- specially since the storylines focused on his Irish past rather than his Mexican one as Moira (Irish) was a big part of Kyle’s life. Not Aaron Rayner (his Mexican father). It’s only been recently that his Mexican side has come out at all with him becoming the white lantern. I’m not surprised? I wish they’d make him a little darker to differentiate him from Hal more cause honestly, people confuse them ALL the time. 

I think it’s a time saving thing in the cartoon. They seem to have two human skin tones. Dark and light, and it’s a real shame.

thor (2011) is an interesting movie to me because i think, despite a few flaws, the reason it never really took off the way iron man or cap:tfa did was because the audience it reached didn’t match the intended audience. the intended audience was so confused by what they saw because it didn’t reflect their ideal in terms of what they thought a thor movie would be, while the audience it ended up attracting claimed the empty spaces and turned their “sub-fandom” into something that practically rejected the fandoms of mcu!iron man and cap at that time

what i’m trying to say here, in essence, is this:

thor (2011) is a chick flick

to prove my point, i went to the world’s most trustworthy database on film analysis, urban dictionary, and found a few definitions obviously written by men

A film that indulges in the hopes and dreams of women and/or girls. A film that has a happy, fuzzy, ridiculously unrealistic ending.

word which refers to movies characteristically geered at young females in their twenties and late teens. Must include: love scenes, kissing, something sad, a happy ending

A sappy film that is generally geared towards women. It is always a love story, usually a comedy, and nausea inducing in men.

Term for a movie geared for women. Quite often seen on cable TV like The Hallmark Channel and endorsed by people like Oprah. These movies make women the heros and show life from a woman’s perspective. Most men hate these films cuz they are cheezy and dumb. Pussy-whipped men like them…or pretend to.

A movie that embodies all that is wrong with the world; a movie which displays a gross over-indulgence into, and exploration of, the workings of the female psyche and the accomanying emotional tendencies.

Pornography for women.

every complaint i have EVER seen about thor (2011) was about anything contained to earth: jane, darcy, not so much selvig, thor being hammer-less and learning to calm down and be gentle, women only liking it because hemsworth is a 6′3 outback steakhouse victoria’s filet mignon with twinkly dream eyes

but i think that’s because that’s the sentimental part of the movie, the emotional part. it’s driven by a romance and the intellect of a woman (arguably two). thor has to learn to get in touch with his softer side in a world that’s a bit more fragile than his own, furthermore there’s no other steaks– i, em, i mean men like him to balance out. there’s no male audience vessel in this movie

none

oh, you’re thinking selvig? i’m thinking not! there’s no male audience vessel. 

men can’t relate to this movie

oh, you think they can relate to THOR? in the words of drax, “this is not a dude, you’re a dude. this… is a man”. thor is the ideal boyfriend figure, he belongs to everyone who wants a boyfriend, all the thor stans i know are women and/or like men, if you’re a thor stan and a straight guy i automatically have my suspicions and my eyes are guarded by red flags 

#THOR 1 IS A SHAKEPEAREAN CHICK FLICK #THOR IS FOR WOMEN AND THE GAYS AND THAT’S JUST FACTS #the reason why thor’s been called unrelatable for so long was #cos cishet dudes could not fucking relate to him #COS HE A KING MADE OUT OF SUNSHINE WHO LEARNS AND APOLOGISES #FOR HIS MISTAKES #SOMETHING THEY’RE INCAPABLE OF (via @spacefloozy)

You had me at

hemsworth is a 6′3 outback steakhouse victoria’s filet mignon with twinkly dream eyes

I don’t see a lie
