Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

thefloatingstone asked: Sorry Mod. That post you just reblogged IS for a pretty shitty thing... but that post in particular is a LOT of fear mongering and largely false. Fanart does not fall under copyright law. I recommend checking its tags as there have been lawyer tumblr posts explaining the truth of the matter. It sucks, but is not as extremist as that post leads to believe.

yes and no- the problem is that this impending issue isn’t getting enough attention because the guy who originally posted that video (you know that one with the orange haired dude) was an anti EU guy with some severely right-wing views. Which effectively killed everyone’s interest, which sucks because regardless of how he put it this is still a big thing that needs addressing. Like Net Neutrality, this is an issue that has global implications. I’m definitely not condoning fear mongering, and I do wish there was a post that was less panic inducing, but the fact is almost nobody is talking about this. I didn’t even know about it until two weeks ago and I live in Europe! I took this long to reblog a post about it because I wanted to find out more and that post actually has links that hold merit. It’s not so much that all things fandom related will definitely be banned, it’s the fact that this law is so vaguely phrased that it could be used to do that, and will likely be enacted by automatic filters (like the ones youtube has been using and people have been having trouble with for ages).

So yeah, it’s bad! There are over-reactions all over the place, but that doesn’t remove the fact that this is not? Good? I don’t like not saying things about things that are not good. Please help us do something about it.

thefloatingstone asked: Mod, I don't think we've spent enough time appreciating the pun of your Etsy store name. This must be fixed. Because it's legit one of my favourite things.

hilariously? my sister was also going to open an etsy shop at one point, didn’t know the name of mine, and was like ‘o yeah I was gonna call it Jolley Goods lol what u think’ and I was like 8)…. lemme answer that from behind this door k

thefloatingstone asked: Why would the money bin be the Tower??? You've got my interest there! D: (as if you didn't have it before)

mostly because it’s always being ‘struck by lightning’- literally sometimes, if Magica is attacking it! just the existence of the Bin creates trials for Scrooge, but, as with the right-side-up reading of the card, he always comes through in the end and is usually wiser for it (if a bit tired)

also it’s an iconic great big building, that too

thefloatingstone asked: You have no idea how happy I am to hear you like duck comics too ;w; and I am equally angry I didn't make the Gladstone Gander connection myself. Because now it seems so obvious. Maybe because RGB is a little nicer than how insufferable Gladstone is? And I'm always on Donald's side.

Yeah, Gladstone is pretty insufferable- this is what I mean by ‘the back of my mind’, it’s not like he was my no.1 model for RGB (heck you guys know all that already right), more like he was one of those ‘flavors’ that went into the melting pot. He’s just one of several hundred kind-of-obvious-when-you-know-them influences; like Number 6 from The Prisoner and Bert from Mary Poppins.
