Douchey boy on train: So, you’re heading into Manhattan?
Me: Yes…?
Him: Cool, cool. If you want I could give you my number, take you on a tour?
Me: I am actually from the city, so I’m good.
Him: Nice, nice. I go to COLUMBIA.
Me: That’s great.
Him: Columbia is an Ivy League.
Me: I’m aware.
Him: So where you go to school? I bet you’re a women’s college type of gal, am I right?
Me: Nope.
Him: Aww, too bad. I wish we had girls like you at Columbia, but I guess you can’t be pretty AND smart.
Me: …
Him: …
Me: I go to Harvard.

I saw this repost earlier today and it shattered my heart. 

Wonder how long it will take for some champion anon to chime in with “well you should be lucky anyone even cares about ur art” or “its on the internet so it’ll be reposted, deal with it”.

No.

There is no excuse for reposting art and it is perfectly reasonable for an artist to want credit, whether they draw fanart, sketches, official art, commercial art, art you like, art you don’t like, photos, cosplay, writing, literally anything. 

Stop reposting art, please.

I am begging you. Stop.

Seriously. For most artists, posting their art online leads to freelance opportunities. If you don’t credit the artist how are they supposed to get those opportunities to further develop their art and make money.

Plus I don’t know if this is the case with every artist but most artists like to see the feedback their getting for their art whether it’s positive or a critique. And they enjoy getting acknowledged for the hard work they’ve put into that piece.

Please always tag any art you post!

Don’t just tag it though actually source it in the post description.

Tagging works for the original post itself, but once anyone happens to reblog it, they’re not going to see the tag unless they put it there themself

Honestly don’t even repost art?? Especially on tumblr where you can just reblog from the source. It’s unnecessary, and doesn’t really do the artist as much justice as even sourcing it would do.

DON’T. REPOST. ART.

This to the millionth degree.

Facts everyone needs to know about Iwata:

  • He saved HAL Laboratories from going down under and was a key to Kirby’s creation as a series.
  • He reprogrammed the entire Mother 2 / Earthbound game in less than six months. He’s the reason it exists.
  • The last game he engineered was Super Smash Bros. Melee.. out of necessity. He re-coded that as well so it would meet its November 2001 release.
  • He cut his salary in half to keep Nintendo afloat rather than cut positions at the bottom.
  • He gave the speech titled “Heart of a Gamer” in 2005, a key time before the Wii’s release, which shocked the world in the following generation.
  • Designer first, executive second. One of the few, if not, the first and only president of a major gaming company who was a designer first and foremost.
  • He was the fourth President of Nintendo and the first not by blood relation to get the honors due to his previous years of leadership.
  • Iwata believed in open communication with the fans and the press. He believed in sharing his and other developers’ passion for video game design. Thus, he created a series called, “Iwata Asks.”

Overall, as president, he has helped carry Nintendo into the new millennium. He brought in the most memorable public face of gaming known as Reginald Fils-Aime, he orchestrated one of Nintendo’s finest, most shocking years in popular culture since the NES with the Wii, and shouldered the burden and took full responsibility of both the GameCube and the Wii U financially. A man with this much business savvy, personality, passion, and unselfishness… will surely, surely be missed in the gaming realm.

“Even if we come from different sides of the world, speak different languages, even if we eat too many chips or rice balls, even if we have different tastes in games, every one of us here today is identical in the most important way: each one of us has the heart of a gamer.” – Satoru Iwata, Heart of a Gamer
