nooooo dont be depressed
I try, but when it hits, it hits.
Is it a bad omen that it looks like I’ll be entering the new year depressed?
2014 is almost over, and I’m not really sure how to feel.
There has been some good, but I have more regrets than fond memories this year.
I was lucky enough to find the closest thing I’ve known to love, and really hurt, and was hurt by the person I shared it with.
I earned my degree and graduated college, but I’m still stuck in the same position as last year, living with my parents and stuck with the same job, and I know that it’s my fault.
I think the best way to phrase it is that I’m ending this year feeling tired, tired of so much and I really don’t like that. Let’s hope 2015 is better.
It often amazes me how often a parent fails to be a parent. Providing for a child’s physical needs, shelter, food, etc. is the job of a caretaker, and sadly is what many seem to think encapsulates the role of ‘parent’. A true parent does more than just provide for their children, they provide support and acceptance. A true parent works to understand their child, who they are, what they go through, and what they need beyond the physical.
One can be a fantastic caretaker, and a piss poor parent without ever meaning to. One can be a fantastic caretaker and a piss poor parent without ever being directly or overtly abusive. Being just a caretaker and failing as a supportive, understanding parent can be very, very, VERY damaging and harmful for children, and can cause as much, if not more, harm as overt physical abuse in the long run.
Good news: Sketching the new Raricow update feels better than the last attempt, and though hands will be my demise, I’m feeling good about this one.
Bad news: Motivation is gone for the day either way, and this takes things to a slightly sadder place than anticipated. Planned events still to happen.
2 of the best and underappreciated aspects of ORAS
-Being able to find hidden abilities and egg moves on wild pokemon with the Dex Nav (and just walking)
-Original RSE screens used to depict the routes on the Dex Nav.
I don’t like the update that I have for Raricow. I really don’t, and it sucks all motivation out of my ass every time I work on it. Methinks I’ll scrap the current setup and alter it to a more preferable one, ideally without changing too much in the long run.
So these little babies just hatched!

(what do you mean?)
Insecurities with my art and story. It happens.
I often wonder if anyone really likes my Raricow…
Hmmm, finish Raricow update, make a quick Fleur update or just unwind with some games tonight?
I really didn’t like The Lego Movie
There may or may not be a somewhat NSFW edit of the picture from the newest Papi update floating around if you follow certain tags.
Okay but don’t sit there blaming lazy people when people are being forced to be lazy because the system can and will throw them out on the street if they so much as attempt to have a decent living
It’s not a fucking way to live, the housing sucks, the areas to live are unsafe, there’s a risk of being homeless around every corner if you fuck up. People “taking advantage”? Of course they’re taking advantage of it because NO ONE CAN GET A GOD DAMN JOB. How ELSE are they going to live?
It’s a system that keeps the poor as poor and miserable, they don’t GET to rise up to middle class.
If everyone had their basic needs met, then they would stop feeling trapped. People could actually spend on the economy rather than struggling by and buying only the things they absolutely need on the government’s money.
Plan: Work on and put out a Papi update, and hopefully finish the Raricow update that’s been coming for a while.
Reality: We’ll see.
I like your idea of a date. How does 7-ish sound?
Potentially. It depends on what you’re like. I’m demisexual, the physical doesn’t really sway things for me. It’s the personality, thoughts and likes that affect me, though I suppose that’s what the dating is for.
So, I was thinking dinner, maybe a movie?
So you’ve resorted to changing topics to another shitty topic rather than keeping to the original debate
Nice evasive tactic there
Alpha Sapphire: Liu Kang the bashful Torchic.
Omega Ruby: Bertha the sassy Mudkip
Holy shit it’s not like gay people don’t know how to treat other people of different genders
Jesus christ why is this so hard for people to get
I can easily tell someone of either gender how to react to other folks of whatever gender, I don’t have to be a specific gender to teach and understand that
Not only can gay parents fulfill whatever gender role might be needed or thought necessary for a child’s development, having gay parents of either gender doesn’t limit the child’s interaction to only one gender. What a lot of people seem to be forgetting is that, unless the parent was completely disowned by their family for being gay, which is messed up already, the child will most likely have exposure to both male and female role models and family members from the extended family.
A traditional man/woman marriage is not necessary. In some cases it can even be harmful to the child as it can expose them to generational abuse that could be avoided in a different household under different circumstances.
Children aren’t raised in a bubble with only their parents to teach and care for them, and I think that’s the point that so many people are missing tonight.
Starting OR/AS up from scratch because why not?
Treeko/Torchic
Torchic/Mudkip
Mudkip/Treeko
Which pairing should I do?
Don’t you love it when genwunners complain about the Trubbish line, but conveniently forget that the first generation of Pokemon had 2 inanimate poison families that consisted of a puddle of sludge given life by moon rays, and a depth charge full of farts.
There are times when a language barrier makes working retail very frustrating. There are also times when a language barrier leads to adorable moments.
“Yes, hello, I need one lub of cheese?”
“That’s the abbreviation for pound, but it’s right over here.”
Friendly reminder to any who want to play ORAS but for whatever reason do not have it yet, and didn’t have access to the demo: The ORAS demo is now available for all with access to the American e-shop.
Does anyone else get those “It’s a Wonderful Life” moments where you wonder what the world would be like without you ever existing, but get them purely out of curiosity and not just from a morbid mood?
dekaccho replied to your post:Huh, apparently I’ve ruined Christmas hours before…
How did you accomplish that?
My mom decided that we would go out and see Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb on Christmas Eve as a family. She neglected to make any mention of it in any form to me or my brother until yesterday, and when I said that I didn’t want to go, that neither of us wanted to see that movie, that there were other movies that we could see instead that perhaps everyone would like, we were met with “too bad, you’re going.”
I made vocal my disapproval of these plans today after I got home from work, and was met with repeated “too bad, you’re going.” After going to the movie, again after suggesting alternatives and telling my parents repeatedly that there are better alternatives I said that I didn’t like the movie, which I don’t. I was then told that I’m ungrateful and must think I’m the center of the universe while mom was supposedly ‘in tears’ in another room.
I am so sorry that I don’t like a movie from a franchise I don’t care for that I’m being made to see without being asked, counseled or queried, and make my opinion known on said movie as I do with most movies I see whether I like them or not. I’m so sorry that I don’t want to take part in a 'family’ activity for which I never had any input on whatsoever, and was shut down on when suggesting alternatives. Truly I am such a terrible person and should feel bad about myself.
Best part? I’m supposed to go an spend Christmas with extended family tomorrow, which means 3 hours in the car alone with my immediate family down and back, and my mom and dad turning extended family against me more likely than not.
Huh, apparently I’ve ruined Christmas hours before it’s even started. That’s a new record for me.
Update progress update: all characters sketched, 3 inked and background 80% done.
Motivation update: Plblblblblbbbt
There are times when I believe the fine balance of having enough time, energy and desire to draw is one of the rarest things in life.
After seeing The Battle of Five Armies I stand by what I’ve said about the Hobbit movies before: They are generally good adaptations, not of the Hobbit directly or alone, but of the lore and mythos included throughout the Hobbit, LOTR, the Unfinished Tales, and the Silmarillion.
The movies aren’t flawless, but they are good and enjoyable and stand strongly as a series, though not as well individually. All in all, well worth seeing, especially for those who like the Hobbit, but understand that the novel itself is not without its faults.
I’m well aware of romantic attraction, my question is whether or not that constitutes ‘gay’. Homoromantic relationships aren’t uncommon, and depending on one’s definition and the activities done therein could include a girls’ night out, or 'bro-time’.
Gay, at least socially, is considered synonymous with homosexuality and in many parts is stigmatized in a way that having a nonsexual relationship with a member of the same gender never is.
That’s what confuses me about that post, the phrasing and the implications. Conservative parents will often (sometimes unknowingly) encourage what could be considered homoromantic interactions in an attempt to encourage camaraderie in their children. These same parents could disown and shame the same children if they ever came out as gay.
One does not simply decide a character’s personality with the flip of a coin. Okay, some might, but I don’t. The projected Fleur’s are really different too, with one being almost opposite of what she’s often portrayed as, and the other being a more catty, mean-girl-esque character.
every female character in mlp is an asexual gay trans girl, suck it bronies
Am I missing something? Since when can someone be asexual and gay? Assuming we’re talking about gender identity, asexuality kind of rules out being sexually attracted to the same gender.
The good news: I’m working on a Raricow update featuring some as of yet unseen characters in early morning attire, such as Apple Bloom, Big Mac, one of Apple Bloom’s friends who is obvious, and a certain bespectacled class mate who normally would not be associated with them…
Just finish the characters and leave either no background or just lineart for the background. Shaves off quite a portion of work without badly marring quality.
I don’t like cutting corners just to get it out there faster, and even then it’s the characters that take the longest for me. I think the longest time I’ve taken on a background was a complex background of Canterlot for Papi, and even that only took a couple hours max. The backgrounds in Raricow have been pretty simple and this one is no exception.
I’m not sure if the new Fleur blog is going to follow a Fleur the likes of which spawned Papi, or one with a completely different personality…
The good news: I’m working on a Raricow update featuring some as of yet unseen characters in early morning attire, such as Apple Bloom, Big Mac, one of Apple Bloom’s friends who is obvious, and a certain bespectacled class mate who normally would not be associated with them positively. I’ve got about half of the initial sketch done.
The bad news: I have no motivation or energy to continue work beyond what I have tonight, and tomorrow will be largely consumed by work and The Hobbit, so said update may not show up until next week at some point.
I’ll also try to get out holiday/festive updates for all three blogs, but I promise nothing. I would love ideas for these potential posts though.
What have I just been talking about? :P
doctor-2-insane-andfriends replied to your post:You know what’s difficult?
and the evils of hands
And human anatomy, and non-human anatomy, and angles/posing that one isn’t used to, and body types that one isn’t used to, and most other aspects of drawing.
You know what’s difficult?
Not sure what to draw today, or whether or not I will at all. However, the question still stands, which blog should I work on an update for?
Congress approves a 1.1 trillion dollar budget that cuts funding to the IRS and EPA, but keeps 521 billion in military spending. Why am I not surprised, yet very saddened?
Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny?
Nurse Joy, because she’s actually helpful and consistently does her job well. Jenny’s alright, but just like in the games the criminals are almost always caught by kids, which does not look good for an entire extended family of police.
Aesthetically I’d say Umbreon, but in every other aspect Espeon. I prefer Umbreon’s design and shiny form, but Espeon has a better hidden ability, better coverage, and is a much more direct and offensive Pokemon, which I tend to prefer. Also, it’s a two tailed cat which is adorable.
