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.

Have you not heard of romantic attraction?? One can be asexual and still romantically attracted to the same gender...

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.

Wait if moving out isn't easy to afford then why can't they get a job? Money doesn't fall right on your lap. It seems like when I hear someone say moving out of their parents house is unaffordable I keep thinking Um have they heard of getting a job? Or are they just too lazy to work so they expect money to come to them instead of working like people who aren't freeloaders should. I swear half of tumblr are just freeloaders leeching off mommy and daddys hard earned paycheck.

What have I just been talking about? :P

Yeah, just go out and get a job and all of your financial problems will disappear. It’s not like the job market, while better than a few years ago, is still pretty crappy and it’s difficult to just ‘get a job’ with full qualifications, let alone just starting out in most places. Even with a job, good luck with leaving home and striking out on your own, better be sure you get a job that pays well, or be ready to work several jobs at once to make ends meet.

I work full time, and have held a job at the same store for more than 6 years. You know how much I make? $8.90/hr. I make less than $9/hr. doing all the work of a manager for more than 40hrs/week, and I have to be careful not to let the time I’m clocked in and getting paid exceed 40 hours each week to avoid being written up or fired for costing the company overtime. Working full time, after taxes and insurance I make less than $15,000 a year. Where I live, with student loan payments, bills and utilities that’s enough for a single room apartment in a bad neighborhood, with little to nothing left for food, or other necessities.

I live with my family, not because I’m some freeloading schmuck, but because the world we live in isn’t sunshine and rainbows where altering the course of ones’ life is easy and where high paying jobs are everywhere.

Anon can bugger off. Birb has enough problems on her plate and doesn’t need some know-nothing-sunglass-wearing-pissant who talks out of his ass, judges others lives and motivations, but doesn’t have the confidence to show his face.

Jestre, best of luck to both you and Jitters, and good health to Azula.

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.
