So! Angry times happened! I was threatened with being kicked out because I spoke out against something happening that I thought was wrong! And I’m 22 and not allowed to do this, apparently. If I’m not kicked out, things are absolutely coming to a head soon. I’d up and leave immediately, but. My little sister Sarah’s thirteen, she’s gonna still be stuck in this house. I’m like her sole outlet. And she’d be stuck in this fucking dysfunctional house by herself.

I don’t know what to do, guys. So far the only hand I might be able to reach for is in a different state. If by some miracle, I get to live with them, am I abandoning my sister?

If you ever find yourself in what seems like a bottomless pit of self-doubt and hatred of your work – hey, I’ve been there! I think that most artists have. But recently I’ve tried to develop a different way of looking at art and critique that have made me happier and have relieved some stress.

Before I begin I just want to make clear that this absolutely not a post on how everyone should approach art undoubtedly. Everyone should do whatever they please with their art. It’s tough to see people, especially my friends, in this self-depreciating agony - and if I found this information useful for getting out of that state of mind, maybe others will too.

For those who’ve held jobs! And have experienced workplace dramu~ Is it typically better to stand your ground for what you think is right (i.e. you think something is being done that is unfair toward you directly), and make enemies? Or to stay quiet, and keep the tension low? My gut says the former, but my head says, “it’s complicated.”

26th May 2012. The day I pissed off Preston.

“The second instant was a hit and run. I was minding my own business doing sketch cards for fans when someone pushed through the crowd, sprayed me with what I hope was water from a water bottle, and took off running after throwing down some manifesto of some sort (which I didn’t even bother to read so nice wasted effort there man).”

How rude! I was only trying to stop him doing a godawful Spongebob impression! Wheres my purple heart!?

Because he didn’t read my little note, here is what it said;

“Hello TomPreston. (To be honest, I prefer to call you TommyPickles, much more amusing)

You are possibly wondering what the hell just happened. Suffice to say, it was odd, maybe completely OTT random in a sense in which was attempted to be funny but ended up being stupid, a poorly thought out idea and made no sense at all.

 That is what reading your comics is like.

I must admit, it is a shame. The path you have gone down, you showed real promise in your early years. (But I don’t mean THAT early. Then again, Tell people to ignore it and move on all you want, you yourself can’t run from your past)

 

Of course, this will do nothing to change your simple mind; I just wanted to be that one guy.

Love – A side of DeviantART who, you may see as haters or “trolls” but once again, your ignorant self lets you down. We prefer the term “the ones with common sense”.

P.S welcome to the UK. I suggest trying the Ice-cream.”

I wanna make some things very clear.

Come at me, haters.

It was WATER. Pure, clean, water. NOT SPIT. I am not that disgusting, nor harsh, so that theory can go to hell.

I do not see myself higher, nor better then Preston. At all. I myself have a fuck load to learn about drawing and if someone were to spray water in my face, I wouldn’t react as harsh.

I did it for mainly for the lulz.

Those claiming it was assault, grow the fuck up. I could of done much, much worse, but again, I ain’t a violent man.

LOOK AT ALL THAT PUSHING I DID. I WAS SHOVING LITTLE OLD LADIES AND KIDS TO GET TO HIM.

What in the flying fuck is wrong with you?

Way to win the biggest baby award.

“uhbluhbluhbluh he makes comics I don’t like.” - you

I like that he felt his dumb little manifesto was important enough to write down and save for the internet!

No, I bet he didn’t think it was stupid, poorly thought out idea. I bet, for one pants-shittingly terrifying moment, he might’ve thought it was acid, or some other horrible liquid, because that’s what I would have thought. Before I realized my face wasn’t melting off, I might’ve thought I was gonna die, in the time it takes to blink. Because honestly I cannot imagine any other liquid being squirted in my face by some random stranger.

ok so today at fanime 

like right outside of the convention these mega christians came and started protesting against gays and how they’re trying to be something they’re not and how we’re all sinning because we’re all dressing up as things we’re not and whatever

and then gamzee got in this tiny truck and slowly rode in front of the protesters and it was glorious and was probably the best thing that happened all day

MiRaClEs :o)

I like how the protestors and trolling-of-said-protestors has become a tradition at Fanime.

Omg this is such a fun question! I’m sorry for taking relatively long to reply, but I just had to draw illustrations for this *v* (which took longer than expected, between studying for finals and all that).

My first mental response to this question was that I don’t ship my characters with other people’s characters. Then I suddenly realized that wait, I do ship some of my characters with other people’s characters. And then the headcanons jumped me, so be prepared for a lot of rambling:

Non-canon ship #1: Spookybelle’s Lydia/Silvano

OK, aside from the undeniable fact that this pairing is pretty damn classy and hot, I actually have an entire headcanon for them. Be prepared. Let’s just forget that Hemhem and Silvano don’t actually survive the HH canon and let’s pretend Mr. Savage and Lydia don’t have a thing (I ship that too, by the way). I can imagine that if Silvano and Lydia miraculously escaped the hotel, they’d be in a relationship for a while. Silvano is not Lydia’s type and Silvano wouldn’t actually love her (because he knows he cannot and will never love her the way he loved Narnar), but the fact that they can be some mental support for each other (having survived the same nightmare) and simply HemHem’s existence would probably bring them together for a while.

Lydia would be the best possible partner for Silvano: someone who is down to earth and doesn’t take his bullshit. Someone who doesn’t let herself be manipulated or lied to. I think she could turn Silvano into a relatively decent person. Together they’d be great parents for HemHem. At some point they’d realize that them together just doesn’t make sense and break up, but they’d always be very close friends and both would continue to take care of HemHem.

That’s my AU of an AU fldasf;ljkafs;jafd

Non-canon ship #2: Selene’s Eddy/Raul

I mean, come on guys, come on. Aside from the tiny, unimportant detail that they’re both relatively heterosexual (well, Raul is asexual, but I’m pretty sure Eddy is heterosexual), this is a match made in heaven. Two guys of the same age, who can be gigantic assholes but really do have their heart in the right place and (most importantly!) have an undying love for SCIENCE. It’s perfect in every single way.

They’d have so much fun together, fangasming over each other’s intelligence, inventing things, blowing things up, just being assholes together. Even if they don’t work as a pairing, they’re totally a broTP of mine :’D Though I believe I read somewhere that Eddy hates being around people his age, but let’s just ignore that for the sake of bromance.

Non-canon ship #3: your Face (as in the character, not your face)/the Tegus Erdene

Last but not least! Yep, thanks to you I do kind of “ship” Face and the TE. I think she’d be freaked out by him at first, but then she’d just be fascinated. She’d find his maturity and intelligence to be refreshing (thinking she’s an ancient divine being, she often feels like no one is on her level of mental development. Face being pretty ancient as well would make him very interesting to her. Not that she’d see him as an equal or anything, baka).

Of course, this Tegus Erdene is very conservative and moralistic, so she really wouldn’t start a relationship with someone who is not an Erdene (and Face could never be an Erdene, not being a Northerner and probably not being able to make babies, ahaha). So yeah, they’d be bros. Awesome bros.

It seems all my ships end as broTPs, fff.

I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. I’M SORRY IF MY HEADCANONS OFFEND ANYONE. THOUGH I HONESTLY REGRET NOTHING  *rolls away*

Aughpfhgfkhjdkfghkdfg

Spezzy you are a beautiful person. MY NEW BROTP. <333 They both just tell it like it is and dammit things just don’t get done unless you’re an asshole. >:C So say them. This is time for SCIENCE not the feelings.

If biology were in their favor they would have beautiful asshole babies together wait that doesn’t sound right

(And you got it right, Eddy is very much heteroseshul~~ To the point where I’m sure people think he’s hiding something. %D)

He’s really starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel for insults. Not that he didn’t before, hurhur.

Yep, I remember times when the “insults” were at least still somewhat original :c Oh well!

evaporativechill replied to…

Oh good god tell me what’s it like linking anti-feminist stamps to support feminism? In any case, I am sure need to go find a way to contact lordmep and get unblocked from FNF. The way you were always crying on my pages about being blocked from the group, and how you supposedly cared and agree men need a rights movement yet you seem to do nothing but insult and find yourself at odds with any and everyone who is fighting for men’s rights. If that is not hypocrisy then I do not know what would be hypocrisy. As for your comments on Jews and Nazis, I’m sure you would have detailed information on that since your family probably served with distinction in the 23rd SS and worked at the Westerbork transit camp. In all dealing with you and your straight girlfriend is a bit boring since your only argument in Not All Feminist Are Like That, and that is when you decide to be reasonable and actually debate. Sadly that seems to be a feminist failure among other things like actually using facts and accepting responsibility for things like the VAWA’s war on men.

I’m just going to ignore the first couple of sentences because I literally have no idea what the hell you’re talking about/are trying to say.

I believe you fail to see the difference between me being at odds with people “fighting for men’s rights” and people who are irrationally anti-feminist. While the latter is correct, the former I am certainly not. Unfortunately many people who are “fighting for men’s rights” seem to have forgotten that part of their mission and only focus on bitching about everything concerning women’s rights. Those are the people I am indeed at odds with. I don’t see any hypocrisy there. Then again, I doubt you actually know what that words means.

I have no idea why you’re bringing up Jews and Nazis, but funny you should mention my family in relation to that. My grandparents survived the Dutch famine of 1944 (the result of a German blockade which cut off food and fuel shipments, because the Netherlands refused to co-operate with them). My grandmother had to cycle miles on a bicycle without tyres to a farm where she could trade sugar for bread and potatoes. My grandfather left the city where he lived to work on a farm, so he could take home food for his parents and little brother every once in a while. My grandmother wanted to be a dentist and had fought and studied hard her entire life to get best education, but when the war started her parents kept her from returning to school. She never got an opportunity to be what she wanted thanks to the war.

My grandparents suffered a lot in the war. Sometimes my grandmother tells us about it, and she never fails to mention what a horrible, scary time it was. As for the point of this story: your assumption was incorrect. By assuming things like that, you’re only making an ass out of yourself. Nothing more, nothing less.

What is a feminist failure? That there are radical feminists out there? You have some guts, calling that a “failure” of the entire movement while also calling yourself a MRA. First remove the radicals and nutties from the MRM, then come talking to me about radical feminists. You can start with yourself.

Rebloobing because Spezzy, you go girl.

Our real first gay president

The new issue of Newsweek features a cover photo of President Obama topped by a rainbow-colored halo and captioned “The First Gay President.” The halo and caption strike me as cheap sensationalism. I realize airport travelers look at a magazine for 2.2 seconds before moving on to the next one. I grant that this cover will probably get Newsweek a 4.4 second glance. I also understand that Newsweek is desperate for sales. Nevertheless, I doubt that the Newsweek of old, before it was sold for a dollar, would have pandered as shallowly.

The caption is a superficial way to characterize an important development of thought that the president — along with the country — has been making over recent years. It is also entirely wrong. Like the mini-furor a couple of months back about the claim that Richard Nixon was our first gay president, the story simply ignores that the U.S. already had a gay president more than a century ago.

There can be no doubt that James Buchanan was gay, before, during and after his four years in the White House. Moreover, the nation knew it, too — he was not far into the closet.

Today, I know no historian who has studied the matter and thinks Buchanan was heterosexual. Fifteen years ago, historian John Howard, author of “Men Like That,” a pioneering study of queer culture in Mississippi, shared with me the key documents, including Buchanan’s May 13, 1844, letter to a Mrs. Roosevelt. Describing his deteriorating social life after his great love, William Rufus King, senator from Alabama, had moved to Paris to become our ambassador to France, Buchanan wrote:

I am now “solitary and alone,” having no companion in the house with me. I have gone a wooing to several gentlemen, but have not succeeded with any one of them. I feel that it is not good for man to be alone; and should not be astonished to find myself married to some old maid who can nurse me when I am sick, provide good dinners for me when I am well, and not expect from me any very ardent or romantic affection.

Cool.

Oh Jimmy~
