So I’ve been asked by dear ataashe If I’ve drawn Iron Bull.. and to my surprise, no, I havn’t even done a full sketch of him yet. And I say “to my surprise” because I quite like him as a character. Hopefully I will have some time to do more of him :3
His name is Ken. He has grown up dreaming about someday having a shelter to help the stray animals that live near his home, but he never dreamed he could reach his goal so soon.
Here is his site where he posts before and after updates on the rescued animals and you can also adopt: http://www.happyanimalsclub.org/
Here is Betty with her mother Emily. Emily was terrified of humans and refused to stay in the dog house that they built for her.
This is Betty today. She finally looks like a normal, healthy dog.
Meanwhile, Emily has become a little less paranoid over time. With a little bit of patience, they are now able to touch her, and even pick her up, without getting bitten.
said:I repost I lot of the stuff I like or interest me or want to explore later. How does this posting with permission work? Reblogging, posting, permissions, I see these things talked about and posted everywhere with loads of bad feelings. Can you dumb down the etiquette, particulars, how to’s, what fers, and why nots?…
Hi, You might know this already but on Tumblr, re-blogging and re-posting are not the same.
Re-blogging is when you click the re-blog button from the original post or re-blogged post to bring the image to your own blog. Which automatically displays the source of the original poster and thus, the original poster can keep track of who’s sharing his/her art. This is what you should be doing on Tumblr because it’s respectful to the original poster.
Where as re-posting is if you were to save the image/art you like on to your computer and then creating a brand new post with it. This is a bad thing to do on tumblr even if you don’t claim/steal the art as your own because the original poster can’t track how their creation is being spread and also because you have an easy alternate option to re-blog instead of re-post.
Now, this unspoken rule of re-blog/re-post only works on tumblr and you don’t have an option to re-blog something from tumlbr directly to other social media sites (example: facebook, twitter) In this case, the polite thing to do would be to send a note to the original poster by using the “ask” function and ask for permission if you could post their work on your site that’s on another social media site. If they say yes, then be sure to indicate the link of the original post when you’re making a new post with that art.
If it’s a case where, you want to directly add something to the a pre-existing image(ex: add a quote, make into collage), make the modification and use the re-blog function to show your modification of the art, OR you can ask for a permission from the original poster and include the link to their original to your new posting.
At the end of the day, it’s about showing a respect to the artist/poster by leading the audience to their original site/source.
I hope this helps, and If you have any questions, please let me know :)
Chronicled for generations in Inuit and Canadian Native legends, these vicious, phantasmal half-breeds are said to be the recipients of a cannibalistic curse.
While many modern paranormal researchers consider the Wendigo to be an alternate (or regional) name for the more traditional HAIRY-HOMINID known as SASQUATCH, this voracious, flesh eating monstrosity is considered by most Native American tribes (particularly the Inuits) to be another — and infinitely more dangerous — breed of beast altogether.
Known to different North American tribal groups by the names Wihtikow, Witigo, Witiko, Windigo, Weendigo, Windago, Windiga, Witiko and Wee-Tee-Go, this animal is almost universally described as being a lanky, 15-foot tall, beast-like phantasm, complete with glowing eyes, long, yellowed canine teeth and a hyper-extended tongue. This quasi-animal is almost always depicted with a coat of matted fur, but there are some eyewitness accounts which insist that the creature is hairless and covered with a sallow, jaundiced skin and stag-like horns. Based upon these descriptions it is not surprising that this being has inspired terror in all who have encountered it.
Achieving international acclaim in Algernon Blackwood’s 1907 short story called “The Wendigo,” legends of this animal date back for centuries, and have almost always been associated with the act of cannibalism. In fact, one persistent tale details the Wendigo’s origin as being that of a human who was forced to resort to consuming his peers (no doubt in an unfortunate Donner Party-esque situation) in order to survive a particularly brutal Canadian winter.
Cannibalism has always been one of the great taboos for Native North Americans and the sole survivor of this ordeal was corrupted by his actions and possessed by evil spirits who transformed him into this hideous monstrosity. The legend insists that all those who have participated in the act of cannibalism (even in order to survive) risk the chance that they themselves may be transformed into a member of this bloodthirsty, half-corporeal, species.
Legends such as these have persisted (especially in northern Ontario) even into the 20th century, assuming almost the same terror inspiring position that WEREWOLVES once possessed in Europe throughout the middle ages.
There is even one intriguing case which hails from October of 1907 (a popular year for the Wendigo,) which involved a Cree man named Jack Fiddler, who had claimed to have killed 14 of these monsters during his lifetime. The story garnered international attention when the then 87 year-old men was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a Cree woman, whom he claimed was on the verge of transforming completely into a ravenous member of the Wendigo clan.
Neither Fiddler, nor his son Joseph, hesitated in pleading guilty to the crime, but both insisted that their decisive action averted what could have quickly become a profound tragedy for the other members of their tribe. Until the end of his days this Native American “Van Helsing” held true to his conviction that the sacrifice he and his son had made was indeed a noble one.
