Here's something Disney desperately does not want anyone to know:

When you create your own original design for Mickey Mouse now that he's Public Domain, you now own that version of Mickey Mouse.

This is the same reason that Disney owns their versions of Rapunzel, Cinderella, Briar Rose, and more, even though these characters came from the Public Domain.

If you make an original design for Mickey Mouse, it belongs to you. You own the copyright. Disney cannot use that design for profit unless they get your permission and/or pay you. The exact same way you can't use Disney's version of Cinderella for profit.

Copyright goes both ways, despite what the billionaires who run megacorporations want you to think. They rely on you thinking of them as all powerful and unstoppable. But the rules do in fact apply to them too. They are not all-powerful. They're not invincible. They're greedy, lying bastards who rely on your hopeless fear.

Have hope, be bold, go forth and create with joy.

Edit because I remembered another example:

This is also why you're not supposed to show writers your fanfiction for their series! Even though you are writing fanfiction, and the characters belong to their creator, what you have written belongs to you! Writers do not want to accidentally steal from you by incorporating your fanfiction into the official material, because that does genuinely open them up to lawsuits! They're taking your ideas and profiting off them!

Did anyone else notice steamboat Mickey and Oswald the lucky rabbit are both in the public domain? Because I did :) to celebrate I drew this!

Description under cut

Description of drawing: [ID: Two digital drawings showing Oswald the lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse. Oswald is drawn as monochrome blue, with dark blue fur, grey shorts, and a white face and gloves. Mickey has dark red almost black fur, grey pants, white shoes and gloves, and a grey, white, and grey-red cap. The buttons on his shorts, gloves, and the blush on his cheeks are grey-red.

In the first drawing, Oswald is posed looking at the camera with a frown, while Mickey seems to be saying something to him, leaning forward with one hand on his hip and the other held up to gesture.

In the second, the two are sitting on invisible chairs, Mickey surrounded by hearts and holding his face in his hands with a lovesick expression, his thin tail crimped into a heart shape at the end, while Oswald looks over, looking shocked, sweating nervously.

Damn people back in the ye olde ages also lost thee game/silly

I feel like I could fight god today.

I don’t know how, or why, or what possessed me, but I made a dress from an old sheet I found, I made the dress pattern my self, and winged the sizing and some how it fits me exactly how I need it to fit me,

Also I made a matching one for my plushie

Self reblog I updated the dress to be shorter, added some ruffles, fixed the shoulder straps, and added a belt to help my figure
