Description DA WTF YOU DOIN PUTTING SLASHY MARKS IN okay no I'm tired SORRY GUISE JUST PUT UP WITH RETARDED WRITING BECAUSE I UH...i hit some buttons. eheheheh

OPE WAIT ONE MORE her eyes are normally golden and...yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...


ALRIGHT just in case i go all retardo again and have to completely redo the color scheme...for the third time...
OH MY GOD I CAN\'T DO COLORS CORRECTLY RIGHT NOW AND IT\'S ANGERING ME also I...really have no idea what i\'m supposed to do next on this but I\'m working on it.
(also I have a few other sketches of this character so it\'ll be part of a giant sketchdump...that I owe you guys...really soon...oi geez WHY IS SCHOOL STARTING AGAIN.)

OH SO UH...ANYWAY. This is...a...person...thing. How do I even (okay to be fair I thought I\'d have something up on Morven philosophy by now but I DON\'T so...yeah...Morven meaning...belonging to...the morphs...yeaaaaaaah remember that one story from way way long ago that i still haven\'t gotten around to posting anything about WELL SHE\'S FROM THAT SO YAY).
Basically, WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY IS NOT GOING TO MAKE SENSE EXCEPT FOR LIKE...TWO PEOPLE. BUT IT WILL. ...eventually.

SO SHE\'S THE UM...the uh...okay in magical freakin morph land they don\'t...really...well they DO have a government but it doesn\'t really do much of anything (think of like a figurehead only she\'s supposed to also be a \'defender\' of the people. Like a champion who is also a leader. Yeah.) And the head has a number of different names; most creatures from other planets will refer to the leader as the Ambassador, when speaking directly to xir, you refer to the Ambassador as Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Grace, Great Dio Priest/Priestess/Priestion (I\'m looking for a better gender neutral but so far Priestion works for me--also \"wtf is dio\" YOU\'LL FIND OUT KAY), Great One, really anything flattering (also, many of them like to choose a nickname for themselves, in this case she likes to go by The Gilded Queen HEY THAT\'S THE TITLE WHAT A PLOT TWIST).

YES. SO. I don\'t have a name for her...him...xir...yet. Okay NORMALLY morphs can\'t changer genders VERY QUICKLY: there were two massive steps in evolution (happened twice, known as Great Shifts) where morphs have actually gotten progessively...weaker. The Gilded was born before BOTH shifts (which this type of morph was though to be extinct) so she can still switch genders, eye color, and [had] the ability to pick her own pair-bond.
she\'s actually been sitting on the throne for many, MANY years now, and just pretends to be different people. I don\'t even know why she just does for whatever reason.

OH OH OH OH AND. Here I was trying to draw her sort-of...hyperform almost. See, as you age as a morph, you become able to take larger and larger and more powerful forms, and it becomes difficult to be smaller ones. And this bitch is old. So she...yeah. I didn\'t draw it correctly AND I have no room to draw buildings/mountains to give a sense of scale but I\'ll work on it in the future.

YEAH.
WIPS.
WOOOOOO.
EDIT 9/3/12: made it less sketchy only now I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO oh well. I'LL FINISH THIS. SWEAR TO GOD.
EDIT 9/3/12 at...later. ADDED BACKGROUND...SKETCHY...thing...
I had no idea what to do for a background, especially because i'm supposed to show off her magnificent size (not happening anymore but I tried), so I ended up with...mountains. Specifically the river (apparently I named it the aria river because REMEMBER THAT MAP THING I STARTED well don't think I forgot about it kay I know it's there) leaving the Kilahari circle/range where Ambassador City is (ima see if i can make it appear just a bit in the background). AAAAAAAND maybe the mountains have crystals because the city has crystals but I haven't made up my mind yet. SO YEAH. BACKGROUNDISH.

EDIT 9/15/12 OKAY I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I'M GETTING ANYWHERE ANYMORE

Unless you're like at a complete dead-end or they're so many things you want to change it's completely useless to finish, I would just sit there and finish it. You worked hard on this, and I have a feeling it'd come out awesome.

and they all look anime and...i...i can't even. even though anime is normally Japanese NOPE.

aw you can't take another one D8 or...well I guess you get tired after awhile. I'm only sad because I wanted to continue French and start Chinese but they wouldn't let me. They said it was too hard and I'm like NO IT'S NOT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I ACTUALLY WANT TO LEARN THESE LANGUAGES. Do not underestimate the power of me wanting to learn.

DAT WOULD BE COOL

i've seen that title everywhere! i didn't even know there was a fandom xD i just know that people like reblogging quotes from it.

well, see... we're allowed to take 3 subjects of our choice at this level. only 3. and Spanish classes happen at the same time as Biology classes. Maths/Spanish/Chem was an option, but... i was fed up of thinking about it. i was just like SCREW IT and chose Maths/Bio/Chem. but i still love Spanish ;A;

It's a book by John Green who...I've reblogged him before. Vlogbrothers on youtube I adore them okay. I DO. THEY MAKE BECOMING AN ADULT SEEM OKAY NOW. And he's written Pulitzer-prize winning novels and they get read in colleges and stuff and just...I want to read one.

FFFF. We get to have 3 electives only if we take an extra period...which I did... AND YOU GET TO PICK WHICH ACADEMIC CLASSES YOU TAKE?! DUDE. NOT FAIR. That's awesome we don't get that. The most you can do is be smart enough to skip a class (like you can jump straight into Biology if you already took Algebra, and you can skip straight into pre-algebra or algebra in middle school). Which I've done but...still.

Hahah...hah...my friend yelled at me because I refused to take Spanish OTL "WHY ARE YOU TAKING FRENCH THAT'S SO STUPID YOU'LL NEVER USE IT YOU SHOULD'VE TAKEN SPANISH ABLABLABLABLABLA" Whatever. I'm not going to be using Spanish either, I doubt I'll be living in southern California when I'm older. So...yeah.
but goddammit I wish they offered Japanese or had at least offered Chinese last year. Or German. Apparently they dropped German and that's supposed to be a useful language.

that whooole paragraph i was blank xD i had to wiki what an 'elective' is (lololol) and from what i skimmed i understand nothing because wiki makes everything boring. goodness for Yahoo Answers. from what i gather, it's like a subject you do kinda on the side because you like it? idk

right, so now i need you to explain to me what you meant by not being able to choose your own subjects. is it that you're required to do a set of subjects and then you can choose others..?

because with us (at our level), we have 2 mandatory subjects, and then you choose 3 other subjects. in my school you can do more than 3, but 3 is the recommended number because the workload is supposed to be that bad OTL

I JUST STARTED WATCHING BROTHERHOOD AND OH MY GOD. I DON'T NORMALLY LIKE ANIME THIS MUCH OTL (it's all on youtube, actually. And not sketchy. It's subbed though [on netflix it's dubbed in English and THE DUBBING IS ACTUALLY GOOD. WHICH WAS SURPRISING.] as;ldkfsdkf. OH and brotherhood sticks to the Manga better from what I've gathered. 8D)

haaaaaah...hah...sorry Yes, an elective is a course that you like. ...Most of the time.

Oh god our school system is actually annoyingly complicated when you get down to it, I'll try my best to explain.

For example, at our school you are required to have two years of Physical Education credits (meaning you take a sport, or you can be in marching band, or you have to flat out take PE for two years WHICH IS REALLY REALLY LAME but whatever. I'm stuck in it because I can't play soccer/fooball anymore.)
UM LEMME EXPLAIN. At our school we are given 6 classes in a day, and--if you apply--you can take 7 classes in a day (which I am doing currently). 4 of the classes are mandatory. the other two are what we call "elective" meaning you get to choose the course (it is NORMALLY a fun class, but not always).
SO. PE class, for example, is an "elective" course but you're required to take it for at least two years. Meaning for two years you are now down to 1 elective course spot. And on top of that, you need two years of language for most colleges (you are also required to take I think two years of Fine Arts [music, art class, ceramics, photography, graphic design, etc.) Meaning for at least two years, you don't really have a choice in any class. (I think as a Freshman you technically have three spots, but usually the third is taken up by a history class. Meaning it's not really a choice anymore).

so it's like we're given options but we...aren't? (also, as a sophomore and a junior you have less elective classes, but as a Freshman you're technically allotted 3, and as a senior you can drop math and science to replace with electives, even though those get taken by health and economics.)
But classes like science, math, literature, and history are required academic courses that you have absolutely no choice in what you get. The only options you have is to either earn the privilage of having an Advanced Placement/IB/Honors class as compared to regular.
Like we can't choose to take both Chemistry and Biology in the same year. You must take science classes in the order of Biology, Chemistry, then Physics. Each class is taken during the course of one year.
In math, you are required to take at least 3 math classes in high school. The order is Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, then if you continue it goes Trig/Math Analysis/Pre-Calculus, then I think Calculus. (clarifying: math is special in the fact that if you're smart enough, you can take Algebra and Geometry in Middle School as compared to High School. HOWEVER. It does NOT count as taking a High School course if you took it in Elementary school. Meaning, since I already took those two, and I passed Algebra II last year, I still have to take to more math classes IN high school despite having already taken High School courses).

...I'm doubting ANY of that makes sense.
TL;DR version: Yes, and elective is a class that is NORMALLY fun and you get to choose, but at the same time you have to choose your elective classes strategically. And sometimes the slots are taken up anyway by other mandatory classes.

It...I don't know if that sounds more complicated than it actually is but...yeah.

CheeseCrixPie In reply to steppingskyward [2012-09-09 20:47:57 +0000 UTC]

that... does sound complicated, especially compared to ours xD in my school, there are 7 years, or forms. from Forms 1 - 3 everything is mandatory. at the end of Form 3, you choose subjects. in total you have to have at least 5, if i remember correctly, and of those 5, two are mandatory (Mathematics and English Language). then at the end of Form 5, you choose again (i outlined that just now). and that's (more or less) it xD

MAGGIE, HER NAME IS MAGGIE ISN'T IT???

SHE GOT ONE OTL OTL OTL GRANDMA NO GRANDMA PLS GRANDMA WHY I WILL FAIL ALL MY EXAMS OMFG HASHTAG YOOOLLLLOOOOOO bc i started it already anyway
it's called Spirit Tracks. it was a used game, and i thought it was a ripoff because even though the title screen said LEGEND OF ZELDA/ SPIRIT TRACKS i played for about 20 minutes (that's a guesstimate) and there was no little Link in his green elfy clothes and i was like WHERE IS MY LITTLE MAN IN GREEN omg did my grandma get swindled omg ugh whatever this is going alright anyway
but eventually he got the outfit xD
i wanted to play siiince about... i dunno, some time earlier in the year. back in Form 5 a girl and i were talking about video games and she asked me if i ever played a Zelda game. when i told her no, she told me i should try it. and i respect her opinion, so i mentally put it on my list of things i should probably try. and then some time later, another friend told me i should try a Zelda game. and than it was set in stones<3
I DIED WITHIN 10 MINUTES BECAUSE I THOUGHT HE COULD SWIM SO I JUMPED INTO THE WATER BUT NO HE FRIGGEN DROWNED OTL in hindsight, that was hilarious xD but in the moment i was ready to fling my DS away .__.
no, i don't think it's weird. i've only played 2 Professor Layton games but i consider myself a fan. but i still don't consider myself part of the fandom :I for one thing, i don't feel like i belong because most of them have played most - if not, all - and there are a lot of fandom jokes/speculations/references i don't know about or don't understand. another thing is that i've had one unpleasant experience with some members of the fandom. it was on tumblr.
IDC IF YOU DON'T WANNA HEAR THE STORY BECAUSE I WANNA TELL YOU ANYWAY okay so you know how people say DONUT TAG UR HATE BECAUSE U WILL FEEL THE WRATH OF THE FANDOM yeah well my stance on that is you tag whatever the hell you want to, but if you can't handle the backlash you're gonna get, DON'T DO IT. if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.
so Professor Layton is about 30-40 years of age and Luke, his assistant APPRENTICE is like 13. naturally, if two characters exist, the rule is that you can ship them. personally, i disagree with the ship and i made a strong text post about it. it wasn't strongly worded, it was just in all caps, and you can see how that can change the tone of a message.
so i got this reply from a person who, at first, i thought was a condescending turd, but eventually i got my point across and he apologised and there was no bad blood. then there was this other chick (... i think. i am really not sure of the person's gender.) who got all angry and defensive of his/her ship and she was reaaaally unpleasant about it at first. i even went to his/her blog (not for blackmail or bashing material, but just to see what sort of person he/she was) and there was a text post saying how upset he/she was and GUESS WHAT I'M GONNA DRAW NOW. ONE - if you had a problem with what i said, say it directly to me, and TWO - how childish of you, do you think you're gonna provoke me or something by drawing it? other people reblogged that saying things like "I saw that, just ignore it. HATERS." but in the same breath, i don't like conflict. so i went to her ask box and at first she was really defensive and brassy and accusatory, but i got her to understand my stance, and she calmed down and tried to explain hers. he/his, whatever. it was probably a girl. anyway, i still disagreed with her, but i saw where she was coming from. in the middle of that whole fiasco, i even got an anon who was like LET PEOPLE SHIP WHAT THEY WANT, but i disregarded that person immediately because imho hateful anons are cowards.

anyway yes that was my story with a happy ending but the point was that i feel alienated in the PL fandom and this is one of the reasons why .__.

YES THAT IS THE ONE. LOOK MAGGIE SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET KNOWS YOUR NAME. "Dafuq you talking about, Human. WHY DID I GET SUCH A WEIRD HUMAN CAN I EXCHANGE IT FOR A DIFFERENT ONE PLEASE?!"

NOPE SPIRIT TRACKS IS LEGIT wait it's for DS OH MY GOD THAT MEANS I CAN PLAY IT! The one I played was Phantom Hourglass and GODDAMMIT THE LAST LEVEL/AREA WAS FRUSTRATING but also I've gotten better at games so...
HAHA BUT SHIPPING...EVERYTHING...HURTS. NO YOU KNOW WHAT GAME SUCKED ON THOSE TERMS FREAKING TWILIGHT PRINCESS. WE DIDN'T EVEN GET A HUG. AND MIDNA...JUST...JUST MIDNA. OhmanIlovedMidnasomuch

OH HEY PROFESSOR LAYTON THAT ONE GAME THAT I'VE SEEN STUFF FOR AND oh that's...(sees the ship) ...WHATTHEFUCKISWRONGWITHYOUPEOPLEEWEWEWEWEW MAN I DON'T...GET SHIPPING.
oh well (I've never played PL so...)
...WELL AT LEAST YOU HANDLED THE BACKLASH RIGHT? I mean that...okay. Weird...person. "I don't like you. I will get back at you by drawing fanart" I...don't understand...okay.
I dunno man I've had mixed experiences, mostly with the Sherlock fandom which has...I'm half out of it right now. I dunno, I'm not into Johnlock so...there's not really a point and I DON'T READ FANFICTION YEAH GO AHEAD AND HATE ME TUMBLR. I don't tho. Not on a regular basis (I have no problems with people who do, I mean I have a friend that's hardcore into roleplaying and other friends that read/write fanfic so...idunnuhman. /shrugs)

AND NO STORIES ARE GOOD and I'm afraid of certain fandoms. Like I said, Sherlock we are...mentally unstable? No but OH MY GOD THE WHOLOCK FANDOM WENT CRAZY FOR A LITTLE WHILE and people started bullying the writers and it's just like...why. Would you do that. Ever. Which is REALLY FREAKING WEIRD because normally the doctor who fandom is quite lovely and just...asdfsdlkl;.
Or I don't even want to look up what the Spyro fandom looks like (I adore those games okay) because there's this big battle between New Spyro and Old Spyro and everyone is a jerk so I just...stay awaaaaaaaaaay.
And then weirdly mixed feelings on the Pokemon fandom because on one hand DUDE WE INVENTED NUZLOCKE AND SO MUCH COOL and then on the OTHER HAND
really
weird
fanart. That i'm not okay with.

At least you've had a hate-anon before 8( GOD I'M A LOSER ON TUMBLR IT'S SO GREAT XD

Psh. You can have played one game and still be in it if you want to, I suppose. ...But this is also coming from me as an Elder Scrolls fan, where I've only played Skyrim but I get the jokes from other games (and I want to play Oblivion really badly).

NO MAGGIE U HUMAN LOV U PLENTY PLENTY DONUT EVR REGRAT OK

FRICK IT, I GET SO FRUSTRATED SOMETIMES BECAUSE RRRHRGRGRRGRRRHRHRHRHHHHHH BUT I STILL WANT TO PLAY IT

BUT YES PROFESSOR LAYTON IS GREAT AND FANTASTIC AND AWESOMEF DJFHSAFAJA AND YOU SHOULD TRY IT bc it's brilliant in every aspect and the Professor is so
omfg
THE PROFESSOR
which is weird for me to be saying considering i just told you how i had a fit about a paedophilic ship because it grossed me out but oh god can't i have this one double standard because it's not like i'd go run off and have babies with him if he were real because it'd still be gross so it's NOT a double standard it's just a crush HA HA HA TAKE THAT and yay for solving my own problem? xD
interestingly enough, i never ventured into the Pokemon fandom :I i've read one excellent fan fiction by someone i know in real life, but i don't go venturing for things other than the fan art on tumblr and maybe pixiv.
i've had two anons, actually xD one was the Professor Layton one and one was just this other idiot who called me a "dumb fucking asian" (ON WHAT GROUNDS lolol i don't even) which is hilarious considering i'm not the sort of Asian they were probably thinking of. that anon made me laugh out loud for real bbabaahahahaah
hate anons on tumblr are overrated. they don't make your blog any more or less valid. i've had two and i still don't think i count as a 'quality' blog. although i will admit, the second anon was very fun to have. it actually made my day, which backfired on whoever it was.
also, i think the person who said they were going to draw Layton/Luke fan art was purely for provocation's sake. it was immature of them, i think. but at least i sorted it out in the end. she (i think) even said she was willing to discuss it further, if i wanted.
yeah, you can still be a fan and distance yourself from a fandom. if the fandom is generally a bunch of jerks, you don't have to consider yourself part of that. DAS WHAT I THINK

BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA BE A BIRTHDAY PRESENT SLACKER ANYMORE OKAY IMA DO THIS SHIT ON TIME.

WELL DAMN I SHOULD GO PLAY i need to...
man.
so many games that I want to play buT I CAN'T. LIKE OKAMI well no I'm fixing that soon. Uh...Zelda games CAN'T PLAY THOSE OTL Old Spyro. Persona games. Other games. SO MANY GAMES asldkfslkdfj...
but hey...at least I have black 2 preordered BUT I STILL DON'T GET RESHIRAM FRICK MAN. I wish I had gotten them in the other order where I had black one and white 2 because they're better like that...siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. oh well.
why would the anon...even...
but you're not even...or ARE YOU I'M CONFUSE. Is it because of the kpop fandom? It's because of the kpop fandom blog isn't it. (WHICH IS FUNNY BECAUSE I KNOW PEOPLE OF ALL RACES WHO LIKE KPOP oh anon...anon FAIL)
Whenever I think of anons though I always think of how Blindbandit handles them. Because she always turns it into a joke and it's...pretty funny. Most of the time.
ALSO SHHHHHHHHHHH SHHH SWEETIE. IT'S OKAY TO HAVE CRUSH ON FICTIONAL THING OLDER THAN YOU SHHHHHHHHHHH. I MEAN I'M IN LOVE WITH A 12OO YEAR OLD ALIEN SO HAHA. hah. haha...8I freaking doctor who I'LL JUST BE CRYING. IN A CORNER.

ooooooooooooh that was out of order oh well. OH BUT POKEMON sometimes there's cool stuff like PCBC. Oh man ~Zeurel 's run of that usually made my day whenever I saw it posted. And ~kynim 's nuzlocke run of white is awesome. and that one project that I SWEAR TO GOD IT WILL HAPPEN IT WILL OKAY

NOPE YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE because I got better and I REALLY NEED TO LEARN TO DO THINGS ON TIME SO THERE.
although I don't even know what it'll...be oh well I'll figure something out right

AHKAY GOT IT. Hehe...heh. Anon iss not good to assume. HAHAH haha...hah. Ponds. if you want the short version the Ponds died together...twice (Rory died three times). And each time was very emotional AND ALL WITHIN A 20 MINUTE SPAN AND IT JUST REALLY...HURT.
LONGER VERSION: Because the first time they try to escape the building but can't go down so TO THE ROOF and the only way out is for Rory to commit suicide off the building but he can't jump and he's like WELL FUCK THE ONE TIME I CAN'T DIE FOR YOU I CAN'T DO IT YOU NEED TO PUSH ME OFF OKAY so Amy's like WE'LL COMMIT SUICIDE TOGETHER and then tehy get on the ledge together and jump off and then everything is fixed excEPT IT'S NOT BECAUSE RORY'S A FUCKING IDIOT AND GOT SENT BACK IN TIME AND THEN AMY'S LIKE SORRY DOC I GOTTA BE WITH HIM KAY and then they're both dead because timey-wimey stuff and the doctor can't go rescue them and he sees their gravestones but thEY LIVED TOGETHER TO THE END SO...but the Doctor was sad...really...really sad. And then we were sad and that's...basically what happened.
I'm only upset because I really adored the companions and the cast but hey at least we get a new companion at Christmas!

it's the uh...one...that you'll uh...you'll see. IT'S MILDLY EMBARRASSING BECAUSE i'm not ready to accept the level of fan that I am truly at in my HEART. (like you know how you'll be doing a nuzlocke comic well i'm doing a similar only it's not nuzlock just documentation...with PLOT)

beeecauuuuusseee

*hides*

becauuse i don't like having to document every significant part of the game, plus i don't have TIME to keep track of what major things might happen and lazy lazy

but the main reason is that i've recently lost all my confidence in even trying to draw anything, despite the glaring fact that i did two digital presents for two friends this year and i adored one and i liked the other and THAT WAS LESS THAN 4 MONTHS AGO. but i dunno man i have so many tutorials and inspirational things in my drafts on Tumblr but i just... i dunno. maybe it has to do with the fact that the other day i thought about how i should have tried harder at a younger age and maybe now i'd be like you or your friend who did your lineart (rouree on tumblr, i can't remember her dA username) or RollingAlien (her portraits look like mother friggin PHOTOGRAPHS, NO JOKE) or like a moderate version of yuumei and idk it was just depressing because i feel like it's too late for me. i know it's too late. and i know i can still do it as a hobby but i feel like i shouldn't be allowed. and i feel the same way about reading and writing and it's just a big tangled yarn of self esteem and regret adlfkajlkjdflksgajgksdjgsadgssomanyrunonsentences

YOU GUNTA GO PICK YOSELF UP OUTCHYO' SLUMP. YOU DONUT GIVE UP 'PON YOSELF WHILE I HERE MMKAY?!
asdfklsdfj you think I'm good though I just I ...thank.
No, if you want it straight, you are not at the same level as me n mo for our age, but that's because Mo (mo is rouree on tumblr and ~ReverseMirror on here btw) and I have been at this for a hell of a lot longer than all of our friends.
And I have friends better than ME at my age (she hasn't updated in like a year, but ~CantEscapeMyDreams can kick my ASS with how good she is at portraits. DON'T JUDGE BY WHAT SHE HAS NOW, BECAUSE TRUST ME, she is like...PRO). I get upset at Emily's stuff because all I can think is that if I tried really, REALLY hard and worked on it for a few months, I could reach that level, but right now she IS better than me even though I think that I have the heart of an artist far more than she does (she...hates. a lot. I don't, I'm the opposite).
So for our ages, Mo and I are better than you, but Emily is better than Mo and me. So I feel like you do compared to others BUT YOU THINK I GIVE A SHIT?
NU-UH. Because I KNOW that I'm happy when I do art, and I know that I want a career in it so badly and I know that I have stories worth telling, even if they AREN'T the best.
Don't you DARE give up on being an artist, even if you only ever achieve being an amateur or a hobbyist, ESPECIALLY if it makes you feel happy.

Like here. Ilovemyjawn ([link] ) is somewhere in her 20s and I could definitely kick her ass with my level, but you know what, I ADORE her drawings. They make me happy and I giggle like a freaking idiot when I go through them. She's not the greatest artist ever, she's not one of those super-classy Sherlock fanart blogs, but people love her because her art is still fun anyway. You are probably around her level if you focused (and she's older than you).
that's the point. And I see all kinds of things (netherworldvineyard and do-you-have-a-flag are also artist, older than me, and I and others have a higher skill level but that doesn't stop us from really adoring them).

So don't get upset because you can't be the same level or you don't think you can reach it, and don't abandon it if it makes you happy (or makes others happy).
I HAVE to do art to be okay with the world, and I get frustrated because I don't have the skill level for things I want to do, but I don't give up, not EVER, because I want to reach it.

You aren't too late to get better, trust me. Just start drawing every day. Do something outside of fanart (or you know what I take that back. If that's what makes you happy you freaking do it), draw some stars, do sketches of animals you really like (I mean you could become an orca artist or something THERE ARE NEVER ENOUGH OF THOSE).
You AREN'T a wolfaboo, you AREN'T a weaboo, you are NOT an anything-aboo, meaning there's definitely hope for you to actually go somewhere with what you do (even if it's just a hobby. I mean look at *humon . Art is just a hobby for her but it doesn't really make her less of an artist. *sebreg isn't nearly as fabulous as someone like `alicexz , but he's still and artist and he's happy AND he makes money off it).

So just...yeah.
If it makes you happy then don't give up okay because I met you through an artist site and you're like my first internet buddy and i don't like you being all sad because you think of yourself like that. YOU CAN get better, okay. SWEAR TO GOD IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE i mean it's really hard at first but you CAN do it. I MEAN SHIT DUDE, WE MET THROUGH :devinthemachine: AND...SHE(?) ISN'T THE GREATEST EITHER. Dude you could make it to that level easy.

So yeah.

Yeah.

I think I'm done.
I hope that was a good pep-talk because I'm normally really really bad at those.

*chews chair* i'll admit, i was a little anxious for your response but then i went back to studying and everything went numb :I

just... thanks. thanks. i really think i needed that. even if i might not ever get to be the animator or the character designer or the illustrator i wanted to be when i was little, and even though the frequency with which i draw now is on a steep decline... i think i can still try. it might end up being a side thing, but i'll still be doing it. it sort of used to validate me on a personal level, in a way that academics didn't. there wasn't any pressure there, i drew because i felt like it. i think it would be nice to... idk, unearth that validation. ugh, i hate feeling sorry for myself. and i do it so much

thanks. and for the record, i saved that. just in case i need another slap in the face. if you don't mind .__.

...thank god it helped because ah..haha...hah
...I'm not always the, uh, best, at this, because I'm not necessarily a nice person all the time. (Just don't ever ask me for relationship advice because the last time I tried to help a friend with that I ended up yelling at her because she was being an idiot).

Okay two things:
yes. EMOTIONAL SATISFACTION YES THAT IS THE REASON TO DO ART YOU KEEP DOING IT because I don't know how anyone gets validation from being smart other than...yeah. I don't. I mean I'm proud of certain knowledge that I have but it's not the same as art because art makes you in touch with the ~world~ and...whatever.
TWO- START. DRAWING. MORE. KAY?
I swear to you that IS how you get better. Even if it's just a doodle every day it is better than nothing. I do not go one day in my life without having drawn something. Ever. It doesn't have to be full blown each day, and it can only be a part but you have to do something.
JUST WHATEVER I WANT YOU TO NOT GIVE UP OKAY KEEP IT WITH YOU because whenever I hear about people giving up on stuff it makes me sad.

And for more sidenotes, start making stories up. In your head. I mean I currently have...four...four I think? Main, big stories in my head. (Those stories being Morph, Outreach, I think Pokeventure counts as a full-blown one now, and there's this one game series I'd like to make when I'm older).
Stories are very important, kay. Very.
YOU KNOW, THAT, OR LEARN CODING. DUDE. IF YOU LEARN CODING FOR STUFF THEN I CAN HIRE YOU for my game company that ima have when I'm older. SEE?! SEE THEN EVERYTHING WORKS OUT!

YEAH...YEAH YOU SAVE THAT RANT because that was a good one, I like that one.

EH HEH HEH HEH HEEHHHH WHALE
i actually started a 100 themes writing challenge in May. i've only finished 3, with 2 that i've started but left hanging because there were plotholes/i tried a different writing style and it crashed and burnt. however, one just started as an idea but it sort of ~blossommed~ and it's going to be this big lovely thing and i just need time to sit and work on that because i already have like at least a thousand words in, and timelines, and side-stories, and one full, glorious, unnecessarily-but-ridiculously-detailed character profile. but i need time to sit and work on that D: i should have finished that up over the holidays... but in my defense, i only came up with it in the last couple of weeks. and there's one new one i started about a week or two ago but... well that one i really have no excuse for.
i told myself in the beginning that i would stray away from fan fiction as much as possible because at first i thought it might end up being lazy in terms of coming up with characters but then i realised it's not lazy, because it's just giving a new life to a pre-existing... shell, if i may. it's like taking pre-manufactured ice cream and then making a sundae. you don't need to make your own ice cream from scratch to make a sundae. to me, it's like building on a foundation. i do have original characters that i want to develop eventually, but for now, the easier, more appealing thing is the fan fiction.
buuut i've only told like 4 people, including you, because it's a little embarrassing, even though i've only really uploaded one so far. for now, i prefer to keep it on the downlow. it isn't a secret, because i won't deny it. it just... i won't offer anything .__.
but coding tho
there's a reason i did not do I.T. xD i thought it was boring, so i chose not to continue, even though i was good at it. sooo maybe not coding. maybe i can help with the game plots, yeah? 8D

WELL THERE YA FREAKIN' GO gotchyo story got some concept art to make.
requests are open, you know. NOBODY EVER MAKES REQUESTS i feel so lonely. WHEREAS FREAKING MO HAS ALREADY TAKEN POINT COMMISSIONS GODDAMN.

100 themes writing challenge sounds hard MAN I DIDN'T EVEN FINISH THE 30-DAY ART CHALLENGE dude I haven't even finished my chemistry homework I really...don't want to do it IT'S NOT EVEN HARD. I just...I don't know what's wrong with me. But I'm going to blame Doctor Who for it.
yay plot holes 8I
OKAY THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN'T STARTED ON Solar Wind THOUGH IS BECAUSE I STILL HAVE TO MAP THE PLOT actually I still have to do it for PokeVenture too so...heeeeeeeeeeeeeh.

YEAH BLOSSOMING that's what Morph...started as. Well sort of okay how it actually started is embarrassing to a degree so... And that one spans five generations and I...don't even know how I got that far but I DID. But you should start mapping man! lol I'm not a hypocrite

Oh god no it's okay. I have a friend who is in denial about wanting to write fanfics. But I have like a weird...opinion on those. Because usually people abuse it for smut, but I agree in the fact that it DEFINITELY has the potential to be amazing. And I'm already...writing...a fancomic...Oh god. BUT TO BE FAIR, IT'S IN THE POKEMON WORLD. I'M JUST BORROWING THE WORLD. STILL MY CHARACTERS well okay I'm also making the Sinnoh plot line un-suck so there's...that. ahah I'm so ashamed but THERE'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND STUFF SO...?
And I get closer and closer to wanting to make a fancomic thing for Skyrim because OH MY GOD SO MUCH STUFF TO PLAY WITH OH GOD. It's REALLY hard to resist because you ARE your character in game and you choose your own damn adventure 8I and just...stuff. Like there's some issues with the dragons that I REALLY wish could've been gone over more in-game that I'd like to comic about.

YES. STORYBOARD. Dude but dude. duuuuuuuuuude. i mean what if we got into like the pokemon sector of nintendo i mean IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN BUT WHAT IF. And then we could redo it and pokemon would have this really intense comeback and PEOPLE WOULD STOP HATING ON THE NEW GENS. Make a darker game. Darker pokes. Mature themes, intense plot-line. GAH IT'D BE SO COOL.
I'm sorry I just...really...want to see a darker version of pokemon made. There's so many more adult themes and plot-lines they could go into if they just went up a rating oh my god I want to see dark-pokemon explored so badly it hurts.

i didn't know you toook requests at all! D: i've never seen it mentioned on yo profile. :I quuurrrl make dat mo conspicuous.
yeeaah i think generally, more than half of fan fiction on the internet is Mary Sue self-insert leading to smut or fluffy endings, but if you look hard enough in the right places you'll find pretty brilliant people.
granted, i've only had experience delving in K-pop fanfiction. which, let me tell you, is generally terrible. for realisticness' sake, i'd say around 75% is utter bullCRAP but my HEART and my SOUL and my POOR ABUSED BRAIN believes that a good 95% of the total is just flat-out terrible things unworthy of being called literature. i don't even read them anymore, (unless i'm recommended one) simply because i am not willing to dig through the steaming pile of CRAP that is K-pop fan fiction just to find gems. then again, you have to look in the right places but idk how to operate LiveJournal and i'm not so big on fan fiction anyway. which you might think odd considering i'm trying to write some.
and i dunno if you'd find it weird that there's K-pop fan fiction, because i think i did at first. it's not so weird after a while xD
IF I GOT TO WORK IN NINTENDO FOR POKEMON
omfg
YES we need a serious plot! i mean there was that one time when Team Rocket mutilated those Slowpoke but the other guys were kinda mild :I taking over the world and ruling Pokemon and stuff.
THEY COULD DO AN OFFICER JENNY GAME but you know, not necessarily Officer Jenny. maybe you could be an officer or something and Jenny, your senior, puts you on a job that she thinks would be pretty easy for a rookie like you, but then when you investigate it, it's actually way more severe than anyone thought. and then for whatever reason, be it your stubborn nature or curious one, you investigate it alone and GET INTO ALL SORTS OF SHENANIGANS I WOULD LOVE THAT
for Pokemon designs, i would totally delve into the fanbase. organise contests, with like the top 10 or 20 winners getting their designs in a game. or if the board or whatever thought a particular design was good enough, we cold offer to buy the design. sometimes the fanbase has such amazing material but the higher-ups either don't see it or don't openly acknowledge it. idk, i know how happy i get when i find out that artists or writers or actors from my favourite shows interact with the fanbase, because to me it shows that they care, and they're willing to listen. i'd love to do the same to fans, if i ever got the opportunity. of course, you can't tailor your stuff to every whim and fancy of the fanbase, but just minor things.

I THOUGHT IT WAS WRITTEN THERE...apparently not (oh well I changed it)

haha fan...fiction
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT (and no I've accepted the fact that there is fanfiction for everything and it happens)
it's just sometimes I start liking a new show or whatever and all i can think is "Oh please can we maybe...not...have fanfiction for this one guise...please. No. No water you doing stahp."
Or I feel embarrassed FOR the actors and just...i... 8(
(but I agree there are definitely some gems in there I just don't go searching for them.)
BUT IT'S WEIRD BECAUSE I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I'M THE ONLY PERSON IN THE FANDOMS WHO DOESN'T READ FANFICTION OR LOOK FOR PORN FANART AND...very alienated. Especially in the Sherlock one holy hell.

OH. MY. GOD. RIGHT?! AW MAN FINALLY I GET TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS NONE OF MY FRIENDS ARE HARDCORE INTO POKEMON/GOOD AT POKEMON (and those who are say either "yeah that'd be cool" or they only care about...shipping...waht...I'M SORRY BUT N JUST...NO. Not that I didn't feel REALLY bad for him and thought "yeah man. I hope you find some chick person out there who likes you and whatever FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS~" but...that was like...it. the only time I've EVER somewhat liked him was solely because of ~kynim 's White Nuzlocke. ...But I liked Cheren more so...eheheheheh)
OKAY BUT I REMEMBER SOMEONE MADE A FAKE TRAILER FOR POKEMON AND THE POKEMON ANIMATION WAS SHITTY AND WHATEVER BUT THEY HAD THIS ONE BIT WHERE MEWTWO WAS MAKING SOMEONE PUT A GUN TO HIS OWN HEAD AND I JUST...WOW.
PUT THAT IN A GAME.
PLEASE. GREAT ARCEUS THAT IS DARK BUT I LOVE IT.

Or like in White, if it had been "darker," I could see N getting ready to commit suicide (not that suicide is a thing for plot it's a real issue but I MEAN EVERYTHING HE STOOD FOR AND EVERYTHING WAS WRONG AND HE LOST AND ONCE THE BATTLE WAS OVER...? I always pictured it as he would probably be getting ready to jump off the building and then Reshiram/Zekrom comes out like "DAFUQ YOU DOING BRO, NU-UH" and then saves him and THEN they set off on their journey but it just THE PLOT HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL.)

Or you know because femine issues, I mean think if we had pokemon in our world. You're walking home, it's dark, then some sketchy dude comes out and sexual assault and you can't get away you're pushed into a wall a pokeball on your belt gets bumped/pokemon senses danger on its own and then BAM POKEMON GETS ITSELF OUT OF ITS BALL TO SAVE YOU BECAUSE THEY AREN'T JUST BATTLING TOOLS THEY'RE FRIENDS AND GUARDIANS AND JUST
DO YOU SEE
THE ADULT THEMES
ohgoditwouldbesocoolohmygod.

And YES. YES ALLOW CONTESTS because I have seen fakemon better than actual pokemon and they aren't in game and I just...sigh.

yeah, me too xD smut and porn art make me uncomfortable :I

AJHFLFJDFLKAJFKAJ OH MY GOD that would be so c o o l

or you know how each region has their respective Ghost/Dark/Psychic/Zubat-infested tower where trainers mourn their dead Pokemon. outside of those, we don't really ever get to see dead Pokemon. maybe you could end up teaming up with a rival in the end and someone's Pokemon dies. FEELS D:

or it could even start off with the Team X having reached their goal and it's like a dictatorship thing going on and the only way you can overthrow them is to revive some legendary Pokemon that symbolises hope or something.

i also wish they could do a game where your Pokemon stays out of the ball, like Ash's Pikachu.

OR WHAT IF YOU WERE THE POKEMON AND YOU HAD TO SAVE YOUR TRAINER D8

ALDFJLADKFJ OK I WILL STUDY CREATIVE WRITING AND PSYCHOLOGY AND WE WILL GO WORK AT NINTENDO OK ;A;

i sooooo wish there could be a darker game like that. i mean, people might say NUU IT A CHILDREN'S GAME DONUT DO DIS I DONUT WANT 2 POISON MY CHILD
YEAH WELL LOOK WE RATED IT SO YOUR CHILD KNOWS IT'S OUT OF BOUNDS and if they go and play it anyway IT'S YOUR FAULT, PARENT
