When I was a kid in the late 2000s, I used to make powerpoint video "edits" with warrior cat art I found on deviantART and google images set to music i recorded off my ipod shuffle & itunes. (I never posted them anywhere) I learned quickly after sharing it with friends and family, why it was so important to credit artists for their work they have spent so long crafting to get to the piece that i grabbed off google images for my powerpoints.

I was inspired by their work, and they deserved the credit for what they had created. They also reserved the right to ask people to not use their art (be it personal or not) in anything they did not approve of. I started asking if it was ok, even though I wasnt posting them anywhere, before downloading images.

This still rings true for today's edit culture. You need to give credit where credit is due. You may have worked really hard on your edit, but you need to make sure the people who inspired your edit, helped create your edit, are also credited and comfortable with their work being used where they cannot control it. Some people are not comfortable with their work being used. Imagine if someone came to your room, took something off your drsk without asking and just kept it. Sure maybe if they asked you would be ok with it. Maybe you have more of that thing. But they didn't ask, and you never gave permission. You can't take things without permission.

Do not just say "credit to the original artist" or "these come from [this] MAP" or "i cant remember the artists. credit to them"

these are not credits. these are just acknowledging that you did not draw it. a credit links the creator to their work, it tells other people how to find art that impacts them.

Please practice politeness, empathy, and consideration when using other's art in your own art. Use art with the knowledge of how long it took to create, how long it took they person to practice their craft to get to where they are. Treat people with kindness and respect.

Thank you ❤️

Au. Before the Trojan war when Ares and Ody are asked to try to get along.

(Ares and Ody are sitting awkwardly across from each other.)

Ody: So, Athena asked us to try finding what we have in common.

Ares: We both want this to end. Done. (Stands up)

Ody: Yeah, but I don't think that's what she meant....uh, I love Penelope and you love Aphrodite.

Ares: That's true. (Sits back down) Aphrodite's amazing.

Ody (with a goofy grin): Penelope just has the brightest laugh.

Ares (head in hand): Aphrodite's so smart and pretty.

(Hours later, they're kicking their feet in the air while on their stomachs)

Ody (gleefully): And then this one time, Penelope made this little snort sound!

Ares (gasping): You're kidding! Aphrodite does that too! It's adorable!

Ody: I know right!

(Penelope and Aphrodite are about to enter the room. Athena stops them.)

Athena: Don't do in there. You'll be a distraction.

Penelope (confused): There's so much giggling in that room. We wanted to see what was going on.

Athena:...bonding.

Aphrodite: Between who?

Athena (directing them both away from the room): You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Headcanon that Athena mentions her "friend" to Telemachus every time she has the chance and Telemachus, being this curious boy always wanting to hear stories, always encourages her to do so.

Then one day, Telemachus being bored as hell and probably got into another fight with the suitors, goes up to Athena and asks her if her friend ever did something stupid

And Athena just. Jumps to tell all the bullshit Odysseus got into. It's like a therapy session to talk about how dumb he can be. And Telemachus eats it all up

Fast forward to when Ody comes back home and Athena just hangs around sometimes. Telemachus, again, bored goes to ask Athena about stories of her friend and the shit he did. And Athena freezes up. Odysseus gets curious, and jealous, cause he never knew about a friend, and asks his son.

The mix of pure horror on his face when he discovers his son knows all the stupid shit he did in his youth, and the joy of Athena calling him her friend and talking about it goes entirely unnoticed by his son.

Athena meanwhile is dying inside.

Penelope is cackling

I love cats, and all the ways they say "I want us to be family!"

I love when they learn about affectionate human behaviours and start incorporating them into their own behaviours, such as nose boops and forehead kisses when you're getting ready for bed, or trying to share blankets. And I love that a well socialized cat will even actively make eye contact with you in a genuinely friendly way for a little bit before a slow blink.

Breaks my heart that so many generations of humans were falsely taught that cats hate us and want only to take advantage of us, when the truth is that they love us just as we love them. And they mirror our affection and love back to us so we might understand that the love goes both ways. And they do this without us telling them to do it or showing them how... because they love us so much they pay attention to how we love, how we share kindness and compassion.

Woke up and couldn't draw so I threw these together

I love how the Epic community all unanimously agreed that Athena and Dionysus don't understand how humans are born

(Telemachus just fell down a flight of steps)

Ohhhh Jagged sure is having feelings about her own daughter, who's barely an adult, at that attacking her.

Speaking of which, Wolf is remarkably well-developed for spending a large part of her development with only herself and a child to talk to huh

Yeah Momstar’s year isn’t going how she expected, it’s also why she didn’t really try that hard in the fight. It was more of a scuffle.

Wolfstar has been visiting Capri and Jade on the side for trading however I don’t always include it if it’s not super relevant to the scene. She’s a lil but of a weirdo and we’ll see that more as she interacts with cats her own age.

She’s kinda like that kid who adults call an “old soul” but then they’re around kids their own age think they’re strange.

Lmao after the beef between Carnis and the cow plushie and reader telling Carnis they could be their new emotional support cow, I could see Carnis laying on Reader’s bed when they go to sleep, expecting reader to cuddle them the same way they did with the plushie but not being able to outright say it

"It's getting pretty late.... i-isn't it?"

Back facing the hybrid, you lower yourself onto the edge of your mattress as they peek up at you from the comfort of your blankets expectantly.

"I suppose it is. Looks like you've already made yourself comfortable."

"C-comfortable.... yeah..." Carnis pulls themselves up onto your pillow, head placed where his competition formly called home. "Since it's so late y-you're probably going to bed soon... Have...have you done everything you n-needed to do before you go to sleep?"

"Yup. Ate, showered, brushed my teeth." You count each task with the raise of a finger. "Don't think there's anything else I need to do."

"Nothing.... N-nothing at all?" Carnis' eyes wander towards your dresser - that bushy tailed, ball of fluff which found itself in your arms every night before now staring passively back at them. How did it make this look so easy? It never said a word and yet you cuddled up to it ritualistically. It wasn't fair-

"Actually- There is one thing I forgot."

The bedframe creaks as you even your whole weight atop it, hurling one leg over Carnis' as you nestle in close with the cow.

"That's better. Night, Carnis-"

Carnis watches as your head gravitate towards their chest, his horns taking up the predominance of pillow space. They rest their chin on the crown of your skull, pinning their wagging tail to the bed as they roll onto their back with you in tow.

"Goodnight!"
