DA is good for socializing and getting started, Furaffinity is great for making big bucks if you have the talent.
AnonymousTrue, but many people don’t like FA for varying reasons.

Correcting scarlet-pikachu: DA is not the best art site, it's least-worst art site. Like I said, no better alternatives, and the convenience and all.

Tumblr is the worst for artists o_o I swear unless you are gay, got some weird disorders, and are into the over rated fandoms like Steven Universe or whatever no one on Tumblr will give a shit about youuuuuu.
AnonymousYou’re lucky if you get 56 notes on a pic you post here. Otherwise you’re better off finding exposure someplace else. Twitter is another one that’s not good for artists. Again same reasons as you mentioned.
Deviantart is nothing more but a portfolio site, to me. Only use it, cause of convenience (sometimes it bugs out, obviously). Sure, I could do fanart and gain tons of attention, but I prefer making my own original universe. Sadly, it gets unnoticed, thus my incentive to visit DA is non existent. I do interact with other artists, but the results are the same, anyhow. For me, the enjoyment comes from making artwork itself, rather than posting it on DA and expecting feedback.
AnonymousdA is more aken to a social media website where professional artists can be found on there. I post on dA, but my main reason for staying is keeping in contact with the professional world. And waiting like a snake ready to strike when the professionals open their commissions.
It's really hard to take USA seriously anymore.
AnonymousI’m American and I can agree with you on this. Too many double standards and hypocrisy going on in the senate. This is what happens when you elect an 80 year old toddler to be president.
If they did Ramadan, it would cause aneurysms over at Fox News. "THEY'RE INDOCTRINATIN' OUR KIIIIIDS"
AnonymousAnd Disney wants to buy them WHY?
"Let's not being an American holiday in TLG!" But...Christmas is celebrated worldwide, isn't it?
AnonymousShould have said over commercialized popular holiday after realizing my mistake.
I’d like to see something new being celebrated for once in a children’s show personally.
Kash, I know you’re a HTTYD-fan – the TLG writers *totally* could’ve come up with something like Snoggletog! Just invent a holiday that resembles Christmas! Yes, vikings did actually celebrate holidays in winter like Yule, and Christmas is indeed celebrated in (East) Africa, but with TLG … damn. They’re animals. Freaking CREATE a Christmas expy that fits the Pridelands!
AnonymousThey coulda thrown something together like say, oh I dunno, a holiday to remember their first king’s coming of power or birth? I mean isn’t that what Christmas is about too? Birth of Christ? It’d work on so many levels for TLG and wouldn’t need to name it Christmas.
It's also a holiday they don't have to explain, pretty much the world knows Christmas but other holidays would require explanations on why a character is doing that, what that object is for.
AnonymousActually, A Rugrats Hanukkah special explained that beautifully with the retelling of how Hanukkah came to be.
I’m not the only one in the fandom that does not approve of a dominant holiday like Christmas being known by the Pridelanders.
Why not make their own winter holiday? Let’s look at two good examples of them having made holidays specifically exclusive for our favorite pridelanders.
The Ukumbusho Tradition’s origin is about the first Lion Guard making peace with the elephants of the Pridelands. A great example of being creative with turning pivotal moments in Pridelands history into a holiday. While explaining why they celebrate it.
And then there’s Kupatana. There’s no real history behind it. But it’s a holiday where the Pridelanders come together and celebrate peace.
Disney could get creative with this. Or take the opportunity to educate children about other holidays. But instead they choose to fall back on a boring, heavily consumerized holiday.
