The US government is CONVINCED Bucky's still brainwashed because he keeps saying Minimum wage should be raised

Bucky, who spent most of life helping Steve get by with his 900 disabilities and illnesses: we don’t have universal healthcare by now?

Bucky’s therapist making a note that he’s still a Russian communist:

My thoughts on love and tangerines//

[syua]

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.

[holyshitartrefs]

I’m gonna add a few more:

Morguefile is my favorite free stock photo site

Texturemate is full of excellent free textures, brushes, and patterns. 

Transparent Textures actually lets you combine colors and patterns to build your own texture right there in the browser.

Hey guys! I’m a sort of designer enthusiast/hobbyist and I do my fair share of freelancing, so overtime I’ve accumulated a list as well which I would love to share with you.

Freepik has anything from textures to layered psds, icons and so much more that is actually free to use.

Unsplash is a community of photographers which provides daily content that you can use! You don’t have to credit them but you should. They’re amazing.

Icons8 is basically a library of icons and icon sets, they have a little over 60,000 icons for you to choose from.

The Pattern Library is a very generous project of Julien Renvoye, he’s basically created a library of amazing seamless patterns/textures you can use.

SHADOW AND BONE (2021-) | “The Heart is an Arrow” (1x06)

Oh, I see. I’m the wicked Grisha seductress. I beguile poor, innocent men with my Grisha wiles.

anyways friendly reminder that M has more personality to them than flirting and meanness. they are immensely loyal, they easily remind n that the mc has been through shit and they're tougher than given credit for, and M won't hesitate to drop everything to help their friends. they're soft and they're sharp and truthfully a bit of a sweetheart sometimes, but most of all, they are more than the oversexualised version of themselves presented by the fandom. also, don't forget that M is pansexual.

anyways, happy birthday to M! they deserve the world

[brother-genitivi]

expanding on this bc some things just need to be said

there is absolutely nothing wrong with being sexual. it's a very valid defense mechanism, and we can see M uses it to hide their vulnerability. this isn't what my post is about.

my main problem is with how white fans will take a character of colour like m and reduce them to an oversexualised version of themselves. it's hurtful as a poc to see this happen, because our only representation either has us thrown under the bus, villainised or oversexualised and exoticised.

this isn't the only problem i have with m's portrayal by the fandom + writer. this issue also concerns F, but i am so tired of seeing these two being equated to animals.

it's dehumanising. there are other ways you can show a vampire's nature without using animal descriptors. you don't see A being used with nearly the same amount of descriptors. ffs, M is literally described as UB's "attack dog". i don't think i need to explain that one.

this is not good representation.

and if you continue to feed into it, it's not going to change. if you endorse the behaviour, you're telling everyone that you don't care about the harmful rep. all i ask is that you please consider how this is hurtful towards players of colour.
