- resource post:

The backgroud for the first four phrases is made by myself (duh, it’s just blue anyway) but the rest of the series’s backgrounds are made by other talented people and I’ve found them on the web. Here I will post the resource for every background image I post. If you see something here that belongs to you or someone you know and you or this person don’t want it here anymore please tell me and I wil remove it.
