Just in case you forget this exists.

It exists.

With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.

SLAMs THE REBLOG BUTTON

[niyarest]

there’s also Coolors website that gives you randomized palettes!

[tf2humbug]

Don’t forget ColourLovers, either! It’s a social media-esque site where you can browse tons of palettes and share your own.

You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!

When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.

ColourLovers is my go-to for when I’m having trouble coming up with a color scheme! It’s also been around for over a decade, so there’s plenty to browse through.

[princesscolumbia]

I do love me a good color palet.

[princeanxious]

Aaa yes these websites are gr8 💛💛💛

Hey

[elpatron-delmal]

s/o to everyone who is still tryin to heal from things that they don’t talk about

[gonebynow]

I have this planner with these absolutely ridiculous pages with like “motivational” quotes on them that are just these bullshit things like “Let your heart sing” and “Always believe in your dreams”

and like that’s always struck me as such meaningless bullshit, I’ve always hated those. They’ve never had that element that truly motivates me.

So, I took matters into my own hands and I made my own artsy motivational wallpapers. Enjoy.

[astro-vee]

autism is widely underdiagnosed in girls because autistic women tend to present as quiet and reserved, which is just how women are supposed to be.

personality disorders are underdiagnosed in men because they tend to present more explosively and involve more narcissistic behaviours, which is just how men are supposed to be.

sexism isn’t good for anyone. don’t be fooled.

[ja-ll]

when ppl ask why gender roles are dangerous!!!!! peep this!!!!!!

[rapidreptile]

my mom bought a “all my children have paws” mug in an effort to disown us in favor of her dogs but she is blissfully unaware of the fact that two of her children are actually furries

[nyawave]

why do you know your sibling is a furry

[rapidreptile]

I made them a furry

[magicalgirlmindcrank]

this is why she’s disowning you

[teaboot]

Okay, new rule: if you regularly consume the blood and flesh of a demigod in a room full of chanting elders you’re not allowed to call other religions primitive and evil

[13faeinapenguinsuit]

This is oddly specific and leaves some very interesting questions unanswered.

[ermingarden]

Catholicism sure does sound weird when you put it that way.

Italian anime openings are probably the most underrated key aspect of Italian culture. Even people who study Italian language and culture at university don’t know anything about Italian anime openings. How do I explain to foreigners that very few things bring Italians together: food, the World Cup and Italian anime openings.

[tombliboos]

This probably needs a better explanation: Italy is the Western country with the highest distribution of Japanese anime series, which have shaped the childhood of Italians since the 1970s. Italian anime openings are unique because they’re actually original songs purposefully composed for each anime that ever aired on television, and they used to be sung by the same two singers every single time. Sometimes they do concerts where they sing Italian anime openings, and you can find plenty of grown ass people who still remember the lyrics after all this time.

[alexbifronte]

I’mma re-reblog this for an addendum: thanks to this proliferation of (sometimes ancient*) animes, lots of Italian have a oddly specific knowledge of little known (even in Japan) anime. Ask somebody in Japan about Ai Shite Knight; ask an Italian about Kiss Me Licia. Fettine panate.

While in the USA anime got suddendly popular in the 90s with Sailor Moon and Dragonball, we already were a nation of weebs. Oh, obviously Dragonball and Sailor Moon were really really popular also here (is Dragonball still airing?), but we were already masters in the art of the “cartoni giapponesi”. And we also imported American (and French, and…) animation, because we liked eveything.

Fact is, anime in Italy was a cheap investment, and for kids. As they were for kids, they were all dubbed, since the 70s (the sub scene will come much later). And you can’t have a dubbed anime without a nice freshly made Italian exclusive opening! And that’s when the craft of the opening was born. Most will remember Cristina D’Avena and Giorgio Vanni (because for a time they were the only ones still working); the ones with access to regional channels will probably add I Cavalieri del Re and Le Mele Verdi; the oldest… well, I really hope they’d say the Oliver Onions, because they were the best.

With the death of many regional channels, the dearth of anime on the more popular national channels, and the end of an era of taking risks on many inexpensive but odd cartoons, I think this culture around Italian openings is coming to a close. Too bad.

Also, we still don’t know who wrote and sang Urusei Yatsura’s opening. One of the greatest mysteries of all time.

* Ancient = when I was 7 years old in the ‘90s I watched an anime where the Beatles were still together.

[bidonica]

I can 100% vouch for this, I was a kid in the 80′s and some of the anime I watched was from the 60′s (like Kimba The White Lion by Tezuka).

Also excuse me but if we’re going to bring up Oliver Onions we cannot overlook this masterpiece

(I cannot stand Giorgio Vanni either but I also think it’s because I was already too old to absorb his openings uncritically when he started working. This said, the old openings from non-Fininvest  anime were generally better imo, they had more oomph, possibly with the exception of some VERY early Cristina D’Avena like Nanà Supergirl or Creamy Mami)

[thethornofzadash]

Fun fact: The music for the German opening for Attack No.1 was the Italian opening for Mila e Shiro (Attacker YOU!) with a new text. That’s also where Kozue’s German name comes from. 

[perchance-a-dream]

Even more obscure fun fact: in Malta, a tiny island nation just south of Italy, local television sucked so hard that most children watched Italian television instead (except for some of the more well-to-do/avant-garde who got cable TV in English ).

Hence, a significant chunk of Maltese children who grew up in the 80s and 90s, can not only speak Italian, but have a knowledge of Italian anime songs that competes with any Italian child of the same age. (Hence why I always listen to sigle on Youtube whenever I need a dose of childhood nostalgia).

Most Italian people I meet have no idea that a huge chunk of their childhood experience is shared with another country in this way. From my end, whenever somebody asks how on earth I speak fluent Italian, I usually just shrug and say ‘Dragonball’…..and that’s always super fun.

[paninodargento]

And this, kids, is the reason why there are so many Italians in the Detective Conan fandom.

[bonesmakenoise]

1) that explains a lot

2) have you ever heard the inuyasha italian/english opening theme, it’s hilarious

[43501-bin-deactivated20200701]

Oh man. I know this is probably going to go unnoticed, but in addition to confirming all of the above is true, I want to talk about a specific anime called Mermaid Melody Pichi Pitch Pitch. It belongs squarely in the category of “Anime most Japanese otaku wouldn’t remember but lots of Italians know it” and here’s the real clincher: In the series, the protagonists fend off the antagonists by singing. The series has over 20 original songs (not including the OP and ED) and every single one of these was COMPLETELY redone for the Italian version. No subbing over Jp lyrics. No translating and dubbing the lyrics into a different language (as it was done for some other languages). Straight up every single song was recomposed and is 100% original. And most are better than the Japanese, honestly.

[mobsalive-deactivated20181218]

An entire country full of weebs. Christ.

[tombliboos]

There is a reason Japan and Italy have been friends for more than 150 years. They even made a manga about Italy to honor this friendship.

Tweet 1: Hey. I know things look dark for Net Neutrality, but remember: this vote is three weeks away. We have three weeks to show everyone with a vote that this move is career suicide.

Tweet 2: We can’t control a megacorp toady like Ajit Pai. But we can make it clear to the people he answers to that this time next year, they’ll be out of a job if they back this play.

Tweet 3: You’ve been calling your reps all year, and it’s saved our healthcare three times. YOU did that. And you should lend your voice to this, too, because unregulated internet has become as vital to America’s future as socialized healthcare.

Tweet 4: In these times of staggering wealth inequality, the internet is one of the few levers of economic advancement left. It’s allowed the marginalized to shed light on issues we’ve spent generations ignoring. It may be the only avenue in which the American Dream is still viable.

Tweet 5: Call your congresspeople. Call your senators. Tell them that the key to securing your vote next November is a statement unambiguously condemning Pai’s actions, and affirming Net Neutrality.

And head over to BattleForTheNet.com to find out more and take action

IF YOU ARE READING THIS, CHANCES ARE YOU GO ON THE INTERNET EVERYDAY. THE FCC IS NOW PLANNING ON REPEALING NET NEUTRALITY. THIS MEANS THAT POPULAR WEBSITES WILL RUN SLOWLY UNTIL YOU PAY AN EXTRA FEE. WE WOULD NO LONGER HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF USING WEBSITES AND RESEARCHING FOR FREE. 

TEXT ‘RESIST’ AT 50409 AND TELL YOUR SENATORS THAT NET NEUTRALITY NEEDS TO STAY.
