I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.

  • the grape gatsby
  • lime & punishment
  • the adventures of blackberry finn
  • the crepes of wrath
  • the catcher in the pie
  • war and quiche
  • around the world in eighty buffets
  • 20,000 leagues under the tea

So I’m gonna do a thing here for people who are not part of the GLTAS or YJ fandoms, or are apprehensive about pledging to the YJ SMGO page.

If you pledge $5, I’ll draw you a simple little sketch of your favorite character.

If you pledge $20 or more, I’ll make you a drawing. Whatever you want. Any fandom, any characters.

To put it simply, we need 500,000 people to pledge at least $20. And unfortunately, there aren’t 500,000 fans of DC Nation on Tumblr…we’re kind of a small, disadvantaged group. But if people from other fandoms would be willing to chip in a little bit and/or signal boost so we can reach our goal, we may be able to start a change in the American animation industry (aka make them realize that young adults are a viable and profitable demographic for action shows even though they aren’t the typical 7-14 y/o male children that most shows aim to please).

This is a great idea! It would be awesome if other artists in the fandoms could do something like this too.
