Pathetic commission attempt?
I know there's a few artists out there who use stupid tactics to get commissions... usually through pity stories. Some using dumber more non believable stories than others. so I just became aware of someone who said they had ear cancer and that they'd die if they didn't get commissioned for the surgery. Is it me or is this a little... far fetched? |

Another thought today... ya know when you have problems with 'friends' and there's usually two outcomes of said problem. 1) you make amends or 2) you end up taking your losses/gains and ending it well, lots of 'friendships' I've had pretty much end up in the 2 category... yet noticing not one have I of had anything to gain. Now if I need to be less vague... I mean all these friends tried pretending I did shit to piss them off, yet it was me who actually did something. Whether it was help out with money, do art, or help them with some physical service (transportation etc.) I don't remember ending a friendship where I actually had something to say I gained anything from ending it. I guess that's probably why a lot of people are happy to end it, they all ready got something. |

Next review! FINAL FANTASY 12! (codename horse shit)
FFXII’s faults. 1- characters. None of the characters were very likeable (somewhat in aesthetics maybe) and weren’t well developed. Only Larsa really had any shred of human emotion asides being a complete bot of a character. The sad thing is he’s not even a playable character. It was also apparent that Penelo and Vaahn were characters created in the last month cause they had no reason or place in the storyline AT ALL. (even the creators admit to this. The game originally only had 4 characters) Going more i ndepth Fran- a vierra. The game's sex appeal lulz. Her voice actor fails at any emotion when it's even needed. When she's in pain it sounds more like she's faking a really bad orgasm. Fran's storyline is bland in it as well. She's there because she fell in love with Balthier. That's it. And for her leaving her city, she's considerred a branded outsider for no other good reason other than she's seen other lands. woopdeedoo Baltheir- the only good voice actor in the game. He's a sky pirate so the only convenience of this is that he can fly airships. Cause hitting O to go forward and using a + pad is too hard for anyone else, aye ;). His motive is the only realistic one too. Take treasure and sell it. No heroism there, just greed. Ashe- The bitchy princess. Actually she's just a bitchy Yuna. That's it exactly. Thinks she's better than everyone else, is only fighting because her castle's destroyed and she needs to save her people and for some reason she's special for being able to grab this sword yet is a huge cunt. Okay, that sounds better of a plotline than it really is. It's how they executed it through the game that killed Ashe Baush- The veteran. That's it. He was framed, now he's fighting for you. I also believe he's fucked Ashe after all the events of the game take place. Penelo- okay, if you're going to bastardize an all ready bad name, just go with it. Penelope. She was a last minute character that the creators admit to. Her storlyline is she's an orphan (big surprised. Cliche dumbasses) who's a rogue/thief! (this game has 2! it has that in common with FF 9's zidane/amarant thief combo.) She's just around to be around. She doesn't interact or give any advice or anything. She knows nothing, she is nothing Vaahn- the fagtastic fagbagofaggotry of the game. it's like they thought Tidus wasn't a pathetically girly boy as it was so they had to out do him. so make a boobless girl that always smiles and idolizes anyone taller than him or has hit puberty. He really doesn't do anything asides the fact you're actually forced to use him as a main character. That's weird, a main character that doesn't DO anything. Hell even the other characters don't note him very much. The only times they do were for the quick writeovers. "You're a thief? I can't talk to you" "if you want to make it out alive, you gotta help us." "...the mist" "I didn't kill your brother. It was my twin." "TOUCH MY PRETEENCLITORIS" is all that's ever said to him.... except that last one. 2- story. The story is fairly bland. It basically stole FF: tactic’s storyline of war and conquer strategy except it added the going to find the great sword thingy that only Ashe can get blah blah, storyline with plot holes that could sink the titanic in it's asshatery and creatures that are all powerful that are trying to use you (wtf did this mythology just shoot out the creator’s ass last second like FF IX’s Necron?) and then that’s the reason any other character is as evil or as powerful as they’re made is from these…things that are apparently evil to you anyways yet you don’t kill them or do anything, you just go “pshh, bitch whatever! I’m gonna do mae own tang!” and it had the worst progression scenes. When Vaahn kept spamming “I am sir Basch!” was stupid and pointless. I also laughed at its attempt at evoking sympathy in the holy temple. “Help! My mom was pushed!” “Oh no, my mom died!” …seriously because she was pushed… wtf. The overall mythology of the game was thrown together. It was sort of like every religion was right in there own sense (hear that christians and muslims? you’re BOTH right!) The last problem was that the game was anticlimactic and the dialogue failed. When Reddas sacrifices himself, I felt like vaahn was being sarcastic “No! don’t go!” but the tone made it seem like he was thinking. “Yeah, save us, we don’t like you!”. When the end of the game came I thought I was in another cutscene. The final boss was a joke and the build up sucked. I mean, let's take another game. FF VI. The mythology was solid. Espers and humans. Espers came through the esper world at 3 different times in history. One during the war of the magi, once again as a quest to seal the gate completely left a group of espers outside and then the third is when they all escape to take vengeance. Each period has it's own effects on the story and there isn't anything that deviates from it. Once you die you go to the phantom train to go to the afterlife. While this was explained only once, it was NEVER contradicted. FFXII had contradictions to every 'truth of lore'. 3. gameplay- it’s only likeable factor was the no random battles idea. If it actually had better battles and character individuality it’d make it a bit more enjoyable. There was absolutely no difference in any character whatsoever so it sort of killed the usual RPG of saying ‘which is the overpowered/best character’ cause they’re all as equally useless. This game also killed the idea of limit breaks and summons. Not one Summons stick to tradition and even then they’re worthless to use. Loss of mp= fail. Limit breaks had the same flaw. (oh sorry, awakening) You lose all your mana. Sure, you COULD do the most damage with a properly chained limit break but if you didn’t kill the enemy with it, you had to hope you had enough time to use all those ethers to be able to heal enough for a few of the tougher fights. Still the lack of individuality in limit breaks hurt the game. but to be fair there is 2 characters that really have any individuality. PEnelo and Balthier. Penelo has the most mp, best for casting because you can get more mana to start casting with. Baltheir has the least amount of mp which means it's easier for him to fill up those fractions to be able to pull off summons or limit breaks. but that's a MARGINAL difference. 4. Sidequests. Sidequests were for the most part stupid. Some of them were even restricted by choices you made at the very beginning of the game! Seriously, you open the first chest available and no chance at the zodiac spear. FFIX had the same problem where if you didn’t do everything you needed before the lifa tree incident you lost the chance to get a lot of items. but from the BEGINNING of the game? Whoever thought that would be a good idea in an rpg needs to be taken out of video game creation forever :/ And all side quests are the same from when I stopped. Get a request to kill something, find where it lives. No storyline behind any of em, just a hunt. Not something like "bahamut resides at the broken factory to test the strength of those who venture out this way... but what's this? This place... people were killed and had to run away from a terrible evil! what evil is this? AAAAAH it's a CAterpillar!" ... okay so it was ultima weapon. Still applies. The sidequests had no storyline relevance. FFVII had a few sidequests that played a huge part in the storyline. Anything with Yuffie and Vincent particularly! You wouldn't know a lot about Shinra's extent of militant reach without them. Just things like that. While I'm not going to say FF XII's sidequest hunts were horrible, there was just a lack of substance to them. |

Can I be a critic?! Today: Cheaper by the Dozen!
Well, I've decided to do reviews of things since I'm really bored. So I watched cheaper by the dozen the other day and I had some thoughts movie was good over all... decent storyline, SOME good actors and that home is where the heart is feel sorta shit. the problems 1) steve martin's acting is abnoxious. All the little jokes and faces he tries to make at the kids is just really dumb and wasn't funny. "This is acting school, act sarcastically crazy regardless of the situation!" err..yeah. 2) the dialogue failed in some parts "Charlie hates school but YOU wouldn't know that because you're never around!" Okay,charlie is in high school. A senior I think. Parents usually don't stay around for every second of the day to babysit a senior and make sure that their diapers are changed. Next thing. OF COURSE HE HATES SCHOOL. It's just what MOST kids do. (except I liked school) and then the lame supposed realization moment where the dad is supposed to go "Oh my god! Really? I've been such an ASS for WORKING!" ...really? and that's my quick review of it. |

how horrible of a writer can Tyler Perry prove to be yet?
... seriously, House of Payne is always playing on as background noise... too lazy to change the channel when there isn't anything else on anyways... they're all going insane and picking up the kids from the school because of a tornado warning........ CAUSE THIS IS WHAT REAL PARENTS DO! yes, DRIVE out in the roads when there's a tornado out to pick kids up from school BECAUSE it's not like schools aren't required to have tornado safety of any sort amirite? |

Lots of angry/negative shit -_-
as anyone who's paid attention to my journal would know, no I do not have a 'happy' life. Well, as of late some of you may know the person I tried trusting to move in with. Everything between these **** is everything regarding with that and the nafterwards is some things with home. ( Read more... )And now, home life...bs ( Read more... )so yeah, really ticked.. I really just need a new job that can support me moving out on my own in a little itty bitty apartment. I'd be happier that way at least and nobody could screw me over then. but before that I need money to pay these hospital bills (yeah, i'm being billed for a CAT scan I've never had yet have to pay it because I have no proof I DIDN'T have a cat scan (wtf)) pay taxes on my car to retag it now as it expired in august and I think maybe some maintenance on it. oh yeah, I still don't care that some of you guys think I'm still full of drama. Those of you who've come forward were nothing but hypocritical, pretentious morons. Current Mood:  angry |

okay really pissed right now
so apparently one high teir furry artist who NEVER gets involved in drama has been spreading shit behind my back for a while alongside another person. I got a few people right before blocking me telling me a bit cryptically that they said I did stuff I didn't do... and then others that I tried talking to also started blocking me. so I'm wondering if these said two people are ALSO the cause to these other people blocking me. I may or may not just go ahead and out the whole thing :/ |

just one of those thoughts. (slightly emo post.
but that's what I'm known for... RIGHT MR.WOOF?) So... had a talk tonight... someone saying they couldn't trust me ironically for something that it should of been the opposite of me not trusting them. getting me thinking of how irrational opinions sway in the furry fandom and why they do so. It's sort of similar to people in real life yet to an extreme that while I can understand where it's coming from, it still has one thing about it. Delusional thinking. Thinking that I somehow cannot master to use to my own advantage and even when I do, I refuse to use it on some stupid feeling of 'morality' and pride. Wow, ever thought I'd consider myself prideful? I bet most of you wouldn't. I know though a lot of things are being said about me, most of them not good. And some of the things being said ARE TRUE. Course just the fact that even that is mixed in with the things aren't true, I'm still fairly infamous as far as this fandom goes. Slowly I'm starting to become a little bit of what those lies were. First it was just a symbolic way of how 'you' viewed me. Even without knowing a damn thing about me, that was how some of 'you' saw me because of stuff other people said with no proof. It's happening right now as well. I don't know if I should deny such a thing anymore cause while I wasn't at the time I am becoming more like it Such with art and commissions. I used to be really good about getting what I had to do out of the way and fast without wasting people's times. The rumors from people started I screwed em out or took a long time. Back then it wasn't true. Right now though I am. I am taking a long time to do things I should of had done a while ago. I hate myself for it. It's not like I think it's okay to put people on hold but I have no clue what to do sometimes. Life's always been a mess for me but at least I had some fallback mentality in me and I've lost it. I don't have anything to say "Hey, at least I have this going for me" anymore. I know some people say I don't do that, because 'I'm emo, look at the hair' lulzy shit but I was rather optimistic despite the situations given to me. Slowly I keep going with what I have to do and yet it's not fast enough, inspired enough or whatever to get it done and get it done right. Oh sure I could take the shortcut way of doing things and do pisspoor fanporn and get away with doing shitty art for big bucks but I can't seem to do it. It may work for others but I can't sellout. So for that I'm sorry to todex todex havocraptor havocraptor and sageon sageon. I hope I can get what I once had and finish these things but I'm not really sure. I'm 21, I'm too old to be failing. sad thing is when in my life I wasn't failing I tried helping people too much... which I blame a lot of for my position in life now. Is it really? Not completely. Sure it didn't help that I got screwed out of college by lots of reasons (family/fafsa retardation). It didn't help that I never spent money on myself, instead tried helping others out who wouldn't help me out when I needed it in return... but you know.. it was my fault. I shouldn't of been so willing to let people borrow money. But the honest behind that is it felt good to be responsible, yet at the same time wish I could of had someone helped me the way I was willing to help others back then. That person in me can't exist anymore as I don't make enough money but the idea of hoping someone would of been the same for me still sort of held for a long time as a fantasy. The worst part is I'm having a hard time supporting myself now...whereas before it was so easy for me to be content working for other people. Anyone who's read my journals for years know I complain a lot but that's just how I dealt with the annoyances. I put it down in text to get it out, so it wouldn't affect me as badly in person. For me it worked. and as for my physical appearance. I'm still sort of glad I havent' aged a day since 16... means I have more time to at least look like I could live a teenage life that I never got the chance to growing up or any childhood at all for that matter... course I gotta work on this extra weight I got from my last job at mcdonalds (seriously I gained 50 lbs cause in order to keep up with the stupid schedule at irrational times and everyone else I was staying awake 3 days at a time drinking soda.) I'm now back down to 180 but I won't be happy until I'm either back down to 140 or replace what's left on me with muscle. SO DOES MY BUTT LOOK BIG TO YOU?! D: |

Stupid people being publicized?
Okay, to me with the whole balloon boy incident, it really seems like the family is just wanting exposure. They've done enough in the past to TRY Getting it, why not an event to stop military and airports?! but thinking of that, there's a lot of other people I think who shouldn't be publicized for stupidity. Chris Crocker- He was popular to watch because of the leave Britney alone shenanigans. Since then he's gotten small time 'fag video' deals just cause he's become an icon of what IS gay even though that isn't the case. Numa Numa guy- seriously, if I was an ugly asstard who could get famous and a huge ego for lipsyncing, I'd be him. But that is nothing of talent or notoriety. Why this guy's gotten as much exposure and money for using his likeness in things is beyond me. (something local) Kid in superman outfit.- Most of you outside of the kc area may not of known this story. A few years ago this kid got publicity cause he told his mom he scared away 'the bad guy' by saying boo. He was wearing a superman shirt and red blanket. So immediately his mom called the media to report this story yet there was no evidence of anyone else being in there. 1) kids make shit up especially one of 6 years old and 2) why did the mother leave a 6 year old home alone?! But yet this kid actually got some local publicity for weeks and money given for 'good deeds' towards things like toys r us and other kiddy places. just for this bogus story. ... I think i shall update my list later. |

Art question..
I've been thinking. Watching some comments a few people get. one artist (leaving nameless) gets credited with perfect anatomy and such from many. However after asking a few people they as well think like me that the anatomy is actually quite flawed, however the style can be viewed as good, cheap or bad depending on how critical you can be. Another artist gets credited with awesome CG. Now again with this same ring of people they actually dismissed this artist for having any talent other than hitting flood fill and a minor burn on the edges taking no talent. I know, it sounds like we were just nitpicking a bit out of callous jealousy but... 1) is the fandom really that shallow and relaxed on art judging? 2) Is perfection a quality that isn't defined by talent? 3) does my butt look big? I'm going to go to bed soon. |

I hate 90% of you reading this. I also have cookie dough. But I'm not eating it I'm a pathetic failure and I hate myself. I figured out that sour dough bread doesn't make good peanut butter sandwhiches. I'm going to die alone Will Ferrel is NOT funny. Only one of the above is not true. |
