“But shrimp!! Kill shelters are evil!!”

No, shut up, listen to me for a second.

“Kill shelter” is a colloquial term used primarily for Town/City (aka municipal) shelters that rely on incredibly limited government grant funding to operate.

These shelters, by the very nature of their existence, DO NOT HAVE the funds to operate like private rescues do.

On top of this, they’re also *legally required* to take in ANY animal that comes to them. Even if they’re full. Or they’ll lose all of their funding.

This is what leads them to needing to euthanize for space. Is euthanizing for space sad? Yes. But due to the current crisis, it’s also NECESSARY.

These shelters are constantly overfull. They’re STRUGGLING. They don’t have the funds to operate properly. And yet these municipal, government funded, struggling shelters are the same ones that are most likely to be providing care for owned animals in the community

Municipal (“kill”) shelters are the ones hosting low cost spay and neuter clinics. They’re the ones discounting vaccination appointments and microchipping. They’re the ones that have pet food banks so struggling pet owners can feed their pets that week.

These shelters are not evil. They’re doing the absolute best they can with the bare minimum funding they get.

These people are incredibly resourceful and care very deeply about the animals in their care. It breaks their heart every time they have to euthanize an animal that couldn’t get adopted.

These underfunded shelters need your money significantly more than that fancy private rescue you see on TikTok or instagram that has a beautiful facility and has never had to euthanize an animal ever.

Support your local shelters and they will give back to the community thousand fold.

Most of the cats put down were feral and vicious, but there was exceptions and it was sad. There was a pit bull we couldn't adopt out because of a local law prohibiting the shelter from adopting out pit bulls. We kept praying for it's owner to show because it was well socialized and sweet... at first. After 3 months it had been in the kennel so long it had gone crazy and started attacking people other than those it knew well, so was put down.

The shelter got a large donation once. It meant having the funds to work with other shelters to move animals out. It meant we got to send more animals to adoption events and send the best animals into foster homes and to no kill shelters where they had better odds. Every worker there had taken home at least one animal that had been slated for euthanasia.

Listen up you fucks because I’m not wasting thousands of dollars on an art degree to watch y’all fuck up basic color theory.

Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors

If you’re using p i g m e n t.

Do you hear me? When you’re using traditional media, fucking actual goddamn paint, Bob Ross style, your primary colors are!

When you use paint, your primary colors are red yellow and blue and don’t forget it.

NOW THAT CHANGES COMPLETELY WHEN YOU GO FUCKING DIGITAL.

THE DIGITAL PRIMARY COLORS ARE RED BLUE AND GREEN IF AND ONLY IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO STAY DIGITAL, ON THE SCREEN, AND NEVER LEAVE THE SCREEN, AND OF COURSE IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO BE PRINTED. ON A PRINTER. WITH INK. THEN. AND O N L Y  T H E N.

ARE YOUR PRIMARY COLORS.

CYAN. 

MAGENTA.

AND YELLOW.

So say it with me folks!

Red yellow and blue, are the primary colors for traditional pigment that’s mostly used in paints and shit. You use red yellow and blue when you’re painting traditionally, Bob Ross style. 

Red blue and green is light, which is what you’re painting with when you pick up your tablet and go digital.

CMYK is ink, and ink only. You could use cyan, magenta, and yellow as your primary colors in paint if you wanted to be a complete dick, but they’re not your primary colors unless your work is going to be printed using. i n k. The only time they could be considered the primary colors in a traditional medium is if you’re using ink.

Is my icon. I painted this using RED. GREEN. AND BLUE. AS MY PRIMARY COLORS and they turned out fine. Of course, I used the finger smudge tool first and then the color mixing tool and then the blur tool, but hey what do I know.

Clearly using the blur tool only doesn’t cut it.

“Oh but Leo!” You say. “You used cyan and magenta in that color wheel!”

Well bitch guess what.

this is the digital color wheel. I’d say I mimicked that pretty well, don’t you think?

Oh and one other thing, notice how Blue and Yellow are directly opposite each other on this color wheel? That’s because we’re dealing with light, and with light, yellow and blue are complimentary colors.

Which is why when you mix them, it looks like this:

Which is a pretty neutral gray tone: They cancel each other out on the rgb color wheel when you mix them together.

BUT WITH PIGMENT THE PLACEMENT IS DIFFERENT

If you’ll notice, yellow and violet are now opposite each other, meaning they’re complimentary colors and if you mix  them, they’ll make a neutral gray.

But if you mix yellow and blue, same colors as before, YOU GET THIS:

Now keep in mind that the person in the video uses a darker blue, so they get a darker green, but the point is that it doesn’t make that neutral gray.

Now what happens when we mix yellow and violet paint?

Ah yes, you get a bunch of muted colors the more evenly you mix them.

What happens when you mix yellow light and purple light?

The reason the primary colors for light are so dramatically different from the primary colors for paint and ink is because your eye only receives combinations of red light, blue light, and green light. Our eyes do not have a sensor (cone cell) for yellow light. So when we paint with light, red green and blue are our primary colors. Because of our eyes.

Furthermore, paint primary colors are colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors together. For paint, they are red yellow and blue, because you cannot mix orange and green to get yellow. Mixing orange and purple paint does not make red. And mixing green and purple paint does not make blue.

Mixing blue and green paints will make cyan. Mixing red and blue paints will make magenta.

That’s why cyan and magenta aren’t primary paint colors.

However, you can’t mix yellow and blue ink and get cyan. You can’t mix red and blue ink to get magenta.

And that’s why cyan and magenta are the primary ink colors.

Brighter and stronger paints are created through tints and shades, through a thorough understanding of color theory and a few quality paint recipes. Not by bullshit posts on tumblr designed to mislead you.

Cause like in traditional paint your pretty much forced to work with the RYB spectrum. But when it comes to digital there are so many spectrums of color you will or can work with.

Most digital programs are automatically set to RGB and you can’t change it. But in others like procreate you can use RGB, and CYMK just different variations of them.

Each designed for their own things.

From my understanding it goes like this

RGB is best used for purely digital work.

RYB is better for traditional work.

CYMK is the best for print.

⭐ THE CATS OF YELLOWSTONE ✨

I have had this idea mulling around for a while now! I love cats and I love Yellowstone so why not both??

We want to make something that represents us, but irl, like you walk outside and see something that will make you think “ITS A G/T FAN :00”

We are thinking about a color pattern or smth, on a charm or bracelet OR ANYTHING!!!! (Since we don’t want to be obvious)

11 years since nationwide gay marriage in the US

23 years since sodomy was legalized

(That aren’t just the same “in a fist”/“pinched at the waist”/“plucked by the back of the shirt”/“pinned down”, although I LOVE those too obviously)

Giant’s thumb on one shoulder, opposite shoulder has the giant’s middle finger resting on it, index finger is rubbing the tiny’s head while the other fingers support the side of the tiny’s body. Works especially well if they’re curled up on the couch together

Hooking a finger around the tiny from behind so that when they’re lifted up, all the pressure goes to their stomach and it’s almost painful but not quite

instead of pinching by the shirt collar, pinching the MIDDLE of the shirt in front of them so their limbs fall backward limp and they feel like they’re falling for a second as they’re elevated

Sitting in the giant’s palm but the tiny’s arms and legs are wrapped around one of their fingers, or better yet, legs straddling one finger while the tiny wraps their arms around the one beside it as well, poking their head through the gap between those two fingers

front jean/pant pockets.

in the giant’s palm, with the giant’s hoodie or shirt sleeve pulled over them as a makeshift blanket

sitting on the giant’s lap, with the tiny’s back resting against their stomach/torso/hip bone etc depending on their size

right at the neckline of the giant’s hoodie, securely tied up in a knot or bow with the hoodie strings

scooped up from under the arms. No contact with the torso but they’re still being lifted.

Giant sitting with their knees pulled towards their chest and the tiny sitting on their knee, now closer to their face

Leaning next to the giant’s thigh, especially if on a couch or bed so the weight shift pulls them closer
