Dragonflies Dreaming

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

It’s funny how y'all will reblog any and all US things but when whole Europe might lose access to internet then everything is quiet.

[mmmmmmmilo]

Are you fucking serious? Is this really happening? I’m European and I didn’t know a single thing about this

You can sign the petition even if you are non-European. I recommend you do, as many of us fan content creators are indeed in Europe. We would also lose access to non-European fan creations, meaning less readers, less fans and less customers for your home-made merch, commissions and such for you.

[thefuzzycomic]

I’m reblogging this to FUZZY as this is extremely important. If I lose access to Tumblr, you will lose access to FUZZY. I would most likely even lose access to Webtoons, as it does have fan comics! Not to mention Patreon is not safe from this either.

[noonymoon]

PLEASE EVERYONE IN EUROPE SIGN THIS PETITION

WE CAN’T LET THIS HAPPEN !!!

[giganuramaki]

As a europpean fanartist, I’m directly affected by this shit. Give it some of your time if you can.

This is my cat Astaroth. I rescued him when he was just 2 months old. Him and my other cat are the loves of my life...

SIGNAL BOOST! A friend of mine’s cat is really really sick, and she can’t afford the vet bills needed to get him started on treatment. Any help at all would be appreciated!

Reblog this or die.

[aeolian-mode]

I’m absolutely embarrassed that I never knew this before but…

The pen stand that most Wacom products come with?

It twists off and has a bunch of nibs in it. I’ve been buying extra nibs when they were in this stupid thing the whole time.

[jateshi]

Reblog to save a life.

[thedovahcat]

ARe YOU KIDDING

[viatorai]

I just checked and HOLY FUCK

[discretelyobvious]

For anyone who has a Wacom Intuos that looks like this 

The spare nibs are on the back of the removable panel where you can change the pen loop colour. 

Also there’s a little hole in that compartment that looks like this

You see the little eject symbol? This guy is how you remove your worn down nibs.

Press the pen nib in on an angle like this and lift up.

and ta-da! you just removed your pen nib!

[cannoliao]

HOOOLLLLYYY COOOOW

[atomicmangomom]

I feel like an idiot for not knowing this.

[geepm-deactivated20200625]

FUCK

[tamascotchi-deactivated20190101]

ok i’ve never had an intuos but im reblogging this because it’s funny as fuck why the hell is wacom so god damn extra like literally what other consumer electronic product would have a hidden removable panel that contains customizable color attachments, replacements for worn out parts, and a mysterious “eject hole” with like ZERO EXPLANATION

WHAT OTHER COMPANY THIS VAGUE AND EXCESSIVE ?? THEIR STANDARD PARTS REPLACEMENTS ARE HIDDEN WITHIN THEIR PRODUCT SO SECRETIVELY THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE LEARNING ABOUT IT FROM A TUMBLR POST AFTER OWNING THE PRODUCT FOR Y E A R S

[sketchdeath]

im screaming its literally in the directions

[sirasanders]

ajfksdj oKAY SO THE “REMOVING THE NIB” TIDBIT IS DIFFERENT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THE INTUOS PRO SMALL LIKE ME AND OP, BUT OP DIDNT MENTION THIS

YSEE THIS?

THAT IS WHAT YOU USE TO REMOVE THE NIB

YOU PLACE THE NIB IN THE LIL HOLE RIGHT THERE

AND THEN SQUEEZE AND PULL

THATS IT

This is a very random and weird question, but how do you draw a nose??

Not random or weird at all! 

Here is a quick few drawings I just did - 

1. Draw a diamond shape with rounded edges. 

2. Add a curved line horizontally through the two side edges. 

3. Add a circle directly in the centre of this shape - this creates the tip of the         nose. 

4. Add the nostril edges to either side of the shape

5. Add the nostrils themselves to either side of that circle you just drew

6. Fill in the details! 

Same principle can be applied to different angles too - work with shapes first to help build the basic shape and then go from there. 

And as always, use reference until you are used to drawing them :)
