Death by 100,000 papercuts
Posted 5 years agoJust clearing off the old journal. I get a fuck ton of papercuts at work. Didn’t realize dealing with paperwork all day would injure you so much!
Yea...
Posted 9 years agoI, to, have the willies about the IMVU acquisition. May remove some of my stuff. Any fursuit pics will probably remain, but gonna remove anything else.
I've always criticized the stupid things people have left the site for. However, this is something I feel you should leave over, or at least be justified in leaving over. I don't trust IMVU one bit.

Yah yah...TFF and all that jazz
Posted 9 years ago3rd year for me going to TFF. I doubt anyone would care, but if by chance you're awfully bored and not even a born again christian wants to hang or chat, I'm always open. Gonna be there all three days most likely.
Look for a chubby tall guy wear a hat covered in buttons, and probably wearing a denim vest. Will also likely have a camera draped around my neck.
Have fun at the con fuzz butts!

A-Kon 25 (2014). Fuzz butts everywhere
Posted 10 years agoI've discovered that we furs tend to be a bit more nocturnal than most folks. When evening fell upon the Rich People Hotel (aka Hilton Anatole), the furs came out to play! Met several furs at the con. Also hung out with my buddy shadowshep, and another fur who's new to the fandom. Shadow was taking the new fur under his paw, teaching him the ropes.
nuka-kitty and the IARP (International Anthropomorphic Research Panel) had a presentation there, similar to what they put on at other cons. Interesting stuff, per usual. If you havent checked out IARP's studies, do so NOW! Even for long time furs, it's an interesting, somewhat outside (in a GOOD way) view of our fandom. Allows you to step back, and view from a neutral perspective.
Putting up various photos on my DA, Tumblr, and Instagram (@Gescht). Mainly cosplay shots.

If I've taken a photo of you and you want it, please read!
Posted 10 years agoSince I get asked this every so often, I'm making it clear and obvious! If you want to re-post a photo, or photos, I've taken of you, PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST! This is NOT to prevent you, but to give you the BEST QUALITY IMAGES I can! I'll give you the full resolution edited jpg file (that I took and shrunk to upload here), along with the original RAW image file (a .CR2 file).
Finally, as long as you acknowledge me as the photographer, you're free to post the photo(s) wherever you wish! Post it on the side of a building, for all I care.
Also not, the RAW image will be UNEDITED, so it maybe darker, or otherwise a bit different, from the edited jpg.
So if you want the photo(s), shoot me a message! :)

Got to hang out with at last one friend of mine. Enjoyed the Rhubarb show thing, didn't really enjoy the
Sub Level 03 concert (REALLY. REALLY?! YOU OPENED WITH FUCKING KASHMIR? THE LONGEST GOD DAMN ROCK SONG EVER TO EXIST.).
Got a badge commission done by the awesome teskine. Love my new badge. Got several decals for my car, and got horribly lost driving home Saturday night.
But who gives a fuck about me?
Took a couple videos, only 3 worth sharing.
These first 2 are of ino89777 and Telephone's super duper adorableness.

Texas Furry Fiesta
Posted 10 years agoJust got back from my sole day at Furry Fiesta. Good times were had. Parking lot was crazy. There was an adorable dragon/scalie thing, who "stole" my cap, then returned it to me after she/she felt it smelled bad. :p
The Ruhbarb bear show was good. Sub Level 03......not as much. They opened with Kashmir. The longest song ever to exist. Prolly a good 8+ minutes....not a good opener.
Lots of great fursuits. Will be uploading photos....eventually. If I upload a pic of you, or someone ye know, tell me! I'll link to the suiter. :)
Hope all my fellow fuzzier, scales, and feathered folks had a good time at TFF!

Everyone eneds to calm their tits....
Posted 10 years agoI suggest this remedy/ Check out the anime Chi's Sweet Home. Even if you dont like anime, watch it. It's the anime version of lolcats. Just a cute kitty doing kitty things, with no plot, just extreme fuckin adorableness. Everyone should watch this, preferably high or drunk or somethin. Just giggle your ass off and cheer up, and forget about all this silly drama crap.
To everyone saying they're leaving...
Posted 10 years agoMeet ye back here in say....a couple weeks? We'll keep the lights on, chairs warm, and food hot for ye. We know this drill all to well. You say you're gonna leave for [insert x reason here], and then come back when the rest of us don't follow you to some other site, just because you're throwing a tantrum. We'll welcome you back in open arms, knowing this is just a thing you have to do. :)
Shut up. Shut. Up. SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE $1111 CONTEST
Posted 10 years agoJust being lazy, and gonna copy/paste a comment I left in a journal.
No one is forcing anyone to participate. This person is not doing anything illegal in most countries. They're giving away their own money. So what's the deal with all this god damn whiny bitching about it? Is it, perhaps, jealousy? They're getting all this attention (from, btw, all the people bitching about it. Chew on that.), through a somewhat clever idea. They have the means to do this, while many others don't. This fur is getting a lot of attention, while others aren't. Therefore, they get jealous of the attention, and bitch/whine/moan/complain/temper tantrum like lil children.
Me? I'm doing the smart thing. I look at it, say "oh, that's neat." and go on with my life, not batting an eye about it. It doesn't affect me, doesn't affect those who're bitching. You don't want to mess with it? Just avoid it, ignore it. In other words, SHUT UP. If you're not an admin, or somehow directly related to this, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
IT'S NONE OF YALL'S GOD DAMN FUCKING BUSINESS. QUIT BEING SUCH GOD DAMN NOSEY BASTARDS, AND GO BACK TO YOUR LIL ANTI-SOCIAL LIVES.

Ender's Game and the homophobe Orson Scott Card
Posted 10 years agoI've been seeing a lot of talk of boycotting the Ender's Game movie, due to Card's potent, anti-GLBT views. In case you don't know, OSC says homosexuality and GLBTs are basically scum, the downfall of the western world, and our sexuality should be criminalized. He's said he'd fight against a government that allowed gay marriage, for that government would've (basically) betrayed it's people, and must be toppled. I've known about his views for roughly 5 years now. I think he's a PATHETIC, disgusting piece of SHIT.
That said, I will probably see the movie.
NOW NOW, BEFORE YOU BURN ME AT THE STAKE, let me say a few things. First, OSC already has his money in the bank. The studio would've paid him simply for the RIGHTS to make a film. Sure, he'll probably get some royalties probably, but he already has a good portion of the total he'll get from the film. That's not really an excuse, just a fact. Those thinking a boycott will personally hurt Card are fools, at best, and massive idiots, at worse. It would only hurt the studio, if it hurt anyone.
Now, let me bring up another GLBT community boycott that's still sorta fresh in our minds. Yes, I'm talking about Chick-Fil-A. At first, it started to work. It was in the news, people were made aware of the founder's homophobia. Then, the reverse started. They suddenly started having an influx of customers, who were eating CFA simply to "support" and "defend" the homophobic founder. In the end, CFA wasn't harmed. If anything, they came out better than before. I'm not saying we should give up. We should learn how to better support, and defend, ourselves. Instead of a boycott that won't cause OSC too lose one wink of sleep, donate, and support, groups like the ACLU. Groups that seek to gain us more rights. Gay marriage groups, pro-trans right groups, etc etc. By changing law, not the opinions of homophobes who can't help us, we gain a better future. It wasn't a racist's author's change of heart that led to Black civil rights. It was changes in the law. OSC could beg for our forgiveness, but that wouldn't get us any closer to widespread gay marriage and GLBT rights.
Let me bring up something else. How many of yall have shopped at Target? Goodwill? Get gas from an Exxon station? Watch movies at your local Cinemark theater? Eat Domino’s pizza? The list could go on, and those are just companies that have, at some point, actively been anti-glbt in some form, or fashion. The list could grow rapidly when you factor in general Christian companies (Forever 21, anyone?). I bet every one of you has given business to one of these companies. I know I have, and many I know have. If you start boycotting everything associated with anti-glbt actions, then you'd best stay home, grow your own crops, and make your own entertainment, and never leave the house. It's sad, it's depressing, but it's a fact.
You want to make a fucking difference? Support pro-glbt groups. Those with the money, and power, to challenge anti-glbt laws. Those groups trying to gain us marriage. Those who want to get us all the rights and benefits "normal", straight couples have.
If you absolutely must boycott/attack/debate/etc some group, go after the GLBT groups who actively oppose gay marriage. Those who say it's wrong, and we're kowtowing to the religious groups, or some bullshit. They could do more damage than Ender's Game doing well at the box office, and even then I don't like the idea of attacking them. Making a fuss over the movie will, at best, mildly irritate the studio, and at worse, drive people to "defend" the film.

What is gaming?
Posted 11 years agoI know most wont see this, but I still feel the need to rant a bit. :D
Alright, so I came across a journal just a bit ago. It was ranting about a big action gaming franchise. Well, a franchise big enough to be it's own solar system. That big. Anyway, they soul was going on about how it ruined gaming. That got me to thinking. I see this all the time. Such and such has ruined gaming.
Thing is, they haven't. Even M$' Xbox One, with its weird/confusing/Schrodinger's cat used game policy, is not ruining gaming. Gaming isn't about a set of ideals. It's not graphics, or certain game genres. It's not about how many games are considered crap. Gaming is simply one thing. Happiness. Joy. Entertainment.
Gaming is enjoyment.
If CoD makes even one gamer happy. If they come home from a long day of work, sit down, play the latest CoD, and enjoy themselves, well then thats real gaming. That's enjoyment. Gaming is made all the better because it has brought happiness to someone. In the end, isn't that what all entertainment strives to do? To bring us joy. Not everyone will like everything, no. I don't care for Call of Duty. Many don't. Yet, so many others do. Is gaming being ruined by this? Is my enjoyment of Skyrim, Super Metroid, or Resident Evil lessened, even by the slightest, if Joe down the street loves Call of Duty 968? Nope.
One could go on about how companies are milking franchises, putting out loads of DLC, how DLC prices may/may not be over-priced, etc. There's a simple answer to that. People buy. They buy the games, the dlc, all of it. Not because of a blind need to, no. It's their love of the games. They love the games, and want more of it. They are not being forced to buy anything. They do it because they want to. This is not gaming's downfall, no. This is a triumph. It shows the gaming world that we love the game we play. They make us happy, and we are more than willing to give money, so we can have more to enjoy. This is not gaming being ruined. This is gaming at its greatest. The companies, most of the time at least, are listening to us, as we vote with our wallets. These big franchises wouldnt exist if we didn't buy them like crazy. We buy them, because we get so much enjoyment out of them. As long as we still get enjoyment from our games, then gaming is not being ruined,
Gaming will only be ruined, when we stop enjoying our games. When we stop loving them. When they no longer mean anything to us. Every game we play leaves its mark on us. Look around you. So many games and game franchises have huge fan community. Look around this site. You'll see, even in the porn, the love we have for games and the experience they give us.
So no, my friends. Nothing is ruining gaming.
Gaming is about having fun. It's about joy, happiness, entertainment.
It's about playing your favorite game, and losing yourself in it.

The Xbox One...
Posted 11 years agoI had a funny quip, then I took an X1 to the knee. Those corners are PAINFUL. Knew a guy who's spleen ruptured after bumping into an Xbox One. He nearly died.
Maybe sometime during this century, MS will actually straighten out all the details about the new system?

Attention April Fools....warning foul language ahead
Posted 11 years agoFUCK YOU. FUCK YOU UP THE FUCKING CUNT SHIT DICK FUCKER FUCKERY ASS. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU. I USED TO LOVE YOU, BUT NOW YOU'RE JUST SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW. SOMEBODY WHO CAN GO DIE IN A FIRE. WATCH YOU BURN AS I SAY FUCK YOU.
As someone who already suffers from some degree of paranoia, this day just turns it up to 11. You can't trust a SINGLE. GOD. DAMN. THING.
Like, I dont know if the news of Minecraft 2.0 is real. Then there's the bullshit with Deus Ex: Human Defiance (A BIG FUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU TO THE BITCH WHO DID THAT). Oh, and all the folks here who are making cute journals about (insert drama filled subject here).......FUCK ALLLLLLLLLLL YAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL. JOIN APRIL FOOLS IN THE FIRE PLEASE. Single file line. You all will get your turn to BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.
Just need to build a fucking bunker I can crawl into and hide in every April 1st. I'm usually against governments intruding into our personal lives, but could the UN please outlaw April Fools? Could every website out there ban April Fools jokes? Cause it aint funny. It's just head desky. Very, very head pounded into desk while I dream of just blowing up this god damn world. Could mother nature just whack us with an asteroid please? Danke! <3
For you lazy phoques out there..
TL;DR: April Fools is a cunt bastard shit fuckity fucker that isn't funny and needs to die. All it does is piss people off.
Yes, a few of the jokes are funny. Redbox and Google have done it right. I'm talking about those who dangle a carrot in front of us, only to say it doesn't exist the next day. :\

Ugh, we get it. You're going to (insert site here).
Posted 11 years agoOk, we've all been through this before people. For some stupid/idiotic/random reason, FA has somehow managed to PERSONALLY offend/insult/(insert negative action here) you, so you're running off to (insert brand spanking new furry website here), abandoning FA, supposedly for good. Ye don't need to make it a big deal about it. Brand new website, and for some reason you feel the need to jump from a stable, relatively well run ship (though she has her quirks and issues, for certain), and onto a ship that's brand new, shiny, but not well tested. To the majority of yall, see you in a few days/weeks/months, when you come running back realizing what you did was very stupid, and you lost a good portion of your fan base. To you who are intelligent, and simply making sister accounts on these various websites, good job. That's what you're supposed to do.
To those who want to leave due to some stupid, supposed injustice on you, a friend, a friend's friend, a friend's friend's sister's cousin's sister's brother's girlfriend's best friend's friend, just go, and don't come back, even though I know you will. We'll be better off without you here. This is not me defending FA. This is me getting tired of people getting upset over a rumor, or something they hear third party, or some other random, unreliable means of coming across some incident that supposedly happened. FA has been around for while, and has a very large user base. Shit happens, people will get hurt. It's the nature of things. However, that doesn't mean you need to get your panties in a bunch over rumor and conjecture, colored by your own personal feelings. I've seen so many journals about people leaving FA to go to Weasyl, like somehow EVERYTHING will be magically better there. That somehow all the woes are Dragoneer's or an admin's or staff member's fault. No, it aint. It's called human nature. Some people will be bitches and bastards. Some people will try to make themselves to be victims, when they aint. Some people will start shit, just to start shit. Take every rumor with a grain of salt, until undeniably proven true. If something has happened to you, suck it up cupcake. Shit happens. I'm unemployed, a manic depressive, and live 1400 miles form my mate. I dont bitch. My mate was fuckin thrown through a fucking wall by his homophobic father, and shot by an ex of his. He dont bitch, threaten to throw a temper tantrum, or do some other shit l. If you want to talk about your woes, that's fine. It's good to. However, throwing a fit because the staff didn't ban someone, or do exactly what you want, it's stupid and childish. Leaving FA to go to Weasyl wont change that. Oh, disagree with a policy? Fine, you're right to leave. However, it's a private run website, and they can run it how they see fit. Also, who says Weasyl will be any better in the long run? Sure, things maybe loosey goosey right now, but they're trying to court users over. Withing a year, people will be bitching over there.
TL;DR. Shut your bitching. Don't leave due to some stupid rumor you just read on someone's journal. Unless you deeply, personally know them, and witnessed this incident, YOU DONT KNOW JACK SHIT. Also, don't make a huge journal how you're going to the newest furry art site. Every time a new one pops up, there's a great exodus, follow by a reverse exodus back to FA after you realize everyone is still here. Finally, don't say you're leaving due to some stupid fuckin woes you have, especially with the site itself. We all have woes and problems and issues. Deal with it. We all have to. Most of us live with our issues. Life is full of issues. You're gonna have issues no matter what site you're at.
I'm just tired of every other journal having the words "leaving" and "weasyl" in them. You're just gonna be back, so why leave?
Please note, there's nothing wrong with making a Weasyl account. I did. I also have a SoFurry account and a DA account. It makes sense to get your stuff out there, put it up in as many places as you can. Some folks on Weasyl may not be on FA, and vice versa. This can especially be said with DA. No, I'm bitching about the fools who want to abandon FA due to drama, or some other bullshit. That's fuckin stupid. You're dumb. You're really really dumb.
To those who want to leave due to some stupid, supposed injustice on you, a friend, a friend's friend, a friend's friend's sister's cousin's sister's brother's girlfriend's best friend's friend, just go, and don't come back, even though I know you will. We'll be better off without you here. This is not me defending FA.

FA has been around for while, and has a very large user base. Shit happens, people will get hurt. It's the nature of things. However, that doesn't mean you need to get your panties in a bunch over rumor and conjecture, colored by your own personal feelings. I've seen so many journals about people leaving FA to go to Weasyl, like somehow EVERYTHING will be magically better there. That somehow all the woes are Dragoneer's or an admin's or staff member's fault. No, it aint. It's called human nature. Some people will be bitches and bastards. Some people will try to make themselves to be victims, when they aint. Some people will start shit, just to start shit. Take every rumor with a grain of salt, until undeniably proven true. If something has happened to you, suck it up cupcake. Shit happens. I'm unemployed, a manic depressive, and live 1400 miles form my mate. I dont bitch. My mate was fuckin thrown through a fucking wall by his homophobic father, and shot by an ex of his. He dont bitch, threaten to throw a temper tantrum, or do some other shit l. If you want to talk about your woes, that's fine. It's good to. However, throwing a fit because the staff didn't ban someone, or do exactly what you want, it's stupid and childish. Leaving FA to go to Weasyl wont change that. Oh, disagree with a policy? Fine, you're right to leave. However, it's a private run website, and they can run it how they see fit. Also, who says Weasyl will be any better in the long run? Sure, things maybe loosey goosey right now, but they're trying to court users over. Withing a year, people will be bitching over there.
TL;DR. Shut your bitching. Don't leave due to some stupid rumor you just read on someone's journal. Unless you deeply, personally know them, and witnessed this incident, YOU DONT KNOW JACK SHIT. Also, don't make a huge journal how you're going to the newest furry art site. Every time a new one pops up, there's a great exodus, follow by a reverse exodus back to FA after you realize everyone is still here. Finally, don't say you're leaving due to some stupid fuckin woes you have, especially with the site itself. We all have woes and problems and issues. Deal with it. We all have to. Most of us live with our issues. Life is full of issues. You're gonna have issues no matter what site you're at.
I'm just tired of every other journal having the words "leaving" and "weasyl" in them. You're just gonna be back, so why leave?
Please note, there's nothing wrong with making a Weasyl account. I did. I also have a SoFurry account and a DA account. It makes sense to get your stuff out there, put it up in as many places as you can. Some folks on Weasyl may not be on FA, and vice versa. This can especially be said with DA. No, I'm bitching about the fools who want to abandon FA due to drama, or some other bullshit. That's fuckin stupid. You're dumb. You're really really dumb.
Furry Fiesta 2013
Posted 11 years agoWhelp, I finally attended my first furry con, and by the end of the day, I was in love with them. I've previously only attended 2 different anime cons, A-Kon here in Dallas, and Otakon in Baltimore, with my mate. Furry cons are both very similar, and very different from the cons I've previously gone to. First thing I noticed at TFF was how, well, tiny it was. I was chucked into the fire, when it comes to cons. I attended the 3rd largest anime con in the U.S. A con that, last year, had at least 30, 000 attendees. A con that, even over 3 days, you probably couldn't get to everything. Hell, the Artist Alley alone at Otakon is bigger, total physical space wise, than all of TFF, let alone the whole con. However, once I was able to settle into the con, I enjoyed myself a lot. I only went on Saturday (2/23/13), wasn't sure if it would be worth going to the whole con. For a con this size, that suits me well. It was a hell of a day though. Got to see amazing fursuits, got really get into the furry fandom again (my interest in the furry world had been waning some), met a friend in person for the first time (though sadly he got really sick, and spent most of the day curled up in his hotel room, poor thing), and just had a good time. Funny how sitting around the gaming and video rooms can be so much fun, but it's the group effect. You're around like minded, to an extent, people. It really gives a feeling of community. I didnt buy much, gotta save cash. Just a furry gay yaoi comic, and a scalie style tail. Took lots of photos and videos, though. Posted a few here, and most of the rest are on photobucket. I put together a compilation video, which is one YouTube now. Link is below. I also got to see a live recording of Knotcast, which was neat. Weird seeing the crew in person, though. As usual, the mental image you get, is not the one you get in person, heh. Shiva I always pictured younger, and for some reason with dark hair, with a twinge of goth. >_> I don't have a god damn clue why, lol.
Maybe I'll attend next year, just depends. Maybe living in Maryland, this time next year.
Sadly I meant to get some of Blotch's art, but never did. I kept passing by, but time got the better of me. That, and seeing if my sick friend wanted company or anything. Luckily my friend got better in time to go to the rave.

Petition to stop aid to Uganda over "Kill the Gays" bill
Posted 11 years agoI'm wanting to share this around. Saw this petition floating around, and I urge all U.S. citizens to sign it. In case you dont know, it's a bill in Uganda that's looking like it'll be passed, that will "prohibit any form of sexual relations between persons of the same sex; prohibit the promotion or recognition of such relations and to provide for other related matters."
From wikipedia, the bill will divide "homosexual behavior into two categories: "aggravated homosexuality", in which an "offender" would receive the death penalty, or "the offence of homosexuality" in which an offender would receive life imprisonment. "Aggravated homosexuality" is defined to include homosexual acts committed by a person who is HIV-positive, is a parent or authority figure, or who administers intoxicating substances, homosexual acts committed on minors or people with disabilities, and repeat offenders. "The offence of homosexuality" is defined to include same-sex sexual acts, involvement in a same-sex marriage, or an attempt to commit aggravated homosexuality. It further includes provisions for Ugandans who engage in same-sex relations outside of Uganda, asserting that they may be extradited for punishment back to Uganda, and includes penalties for individuals, companies, media organisations, or non-governmental organisations that know of gay people or support LGBT rights."
TL;DR: If you're gay, and have AIDS, a parent, a pedophile, a drug dealer, or repeatedly commit gay acts, you'll be executed. If you're gay, and a first time offender, I do believe you can face life in prison. Further more, if you're a gay Ugandan and commit "gay acts" outside of the country, you can still face harsh punishment back in Uganda, even be extradited back to it. Even with international condemnation, this bill is being called a "Christmas gift" to the Ugandan people.
I beg of everyone who reads this, do what you can to support homosexuals in Uganda. Our gay brothers and sisters need our help! Their government has turned against them. Sign this petition, if you're a US citizen. If not, there's bound to be many more petitions around. If your government gives any sort of aid to Uganda, petition them to stop. The Ugandan government needs to be shown this bill constitutes a hate crime. It's discrimination against a whole group of people.

It looks like a democracy, sounds like a democracy...
Posted 11 years ago...but it's not!
As GLAD as I am about Obama winning, still so fucking amused they call this country a democracy. Romney apparently won the popular vote, but lost the electoral vote. What does that mean? The people went for Romney, but political officials, the titular electoral college, voted for Obama. They went against the will of the people. In this case, something good came of it. However, this is not democracy. The electoral college, in some, if not most, states, do NOT have to vote with the popular vote. They USUALLY do, but they can vote against the popular vote. Sorry boys and girls, the "good ol" U.S. of A is NOT a democracy. It just wears the clothes of one.

A lil rant
Posted 11 years agoRead a Reuters story, about how a radical group in France attacked and occupied several Mosques, declaring "war" on Muslims in France. If that wasn't disgusting enough, the comments for the story on the Reuters website were all for this group! They were basically saying "Good job radical terror spreading group! Let's attack those Muslims, drive them out! They don't deserve equality!"
Here, lemme post what they said.
"Right because Islam has had such a long history of tolerance for other religious belief systems in it’s own lands…of course it should demand equality for its own in the lands of others….give me a break…"
"Sensationalist title, there was no attack. Generation Identitaire many of us in the usa are proud of you and will support you. Stay strong. " (this one disturbed me greatly. We Americans should be PROUD of a violent, essentially terrorist group?! WTF. What happened to the country where all were welcomed? Oh, wait, Republicans happened. They turned this country into a country of hate and discrimination, under the guise/excuse of "faith" and "God")
"I, for one, applaud this group!!!"
This just pissed me off. I'm not Muslim. I'm pagan(ish). However, regardless of that, I'm a human being. I just want peace, love, equality. I want to go through my life, enjoying it. I want to work hard, play hard. I don't want to be surrounded by hate. It sickens me that we're so...hateful.
This is the comment I wrote:
"I find it amusing everyone says how Islam is such a violent faith. It's not. It's no more inherently violent than any Christian faith. "Oh? Then what about all those violent attacks by Muslims?" Ok, then what about violent attacks done by Christians through out the ages? The Crusades were extremely violent. Violence done by Christians. Catholic soldiers murdered many during the Crusades. By the logic of idiots, then we should be wary of Catholics! I mean, in the Crusades the killed many more than modern day attacks by Muslims! Hell, what about the Jews? They killed Jesus! The Christian savior! Greatest crime of them all! Let's just drive out the Jews! Actually, better yet, let's just kill them all! They killed Jesus! Murder deserves murder, apparently.
This disgusting bigotry is what's killing this world. It's what drives Muslims to violence. The western world drives so much hate as Muslims. What the hell do you expect to happen? The western world is supposed to be a Christian world. Where's the love, then? Love thy neighbor as thyself! Do unto others, as you would have done unto you! Do you think Jesus would approve of all this HATE. HATE against Muslims, HATE against gays, HATE against this group, HATE against that people. This is not a Christian world. I'm starting to think there are no more good people in this world. It's getting to the point I pray for something just to wipe us all out, for humanity is just full of such HATE. This French group is a HATE group. They're are TERRORISTS. They're spreading HATE and TERROR. All people deserve equal treatment, equal lives, equal happiness. Only when an INDIVIDUAL has shown, has proven without a doubt, they don't deserve such equality, such as the terrorists invading these mosques in France, do they lose the right to such equality. It must be on an individual basis, not a group or a people. Not all Muslims are violent, just like not all Christians are peaceful. This world is full of liars and hypocrites. People want to use Muslims as a scapegoat, shifting blame to them, blame they don't deserve, but instead we deserve. The Western World has done more to screw-up this world, to screw up civilization, than Muslims ever had.
Just fyi, I'm not Muslim. I'm pagan, actually. I just find this stupid, needless hate against any Religion, and people, disgusting, and pathetic. Any so called "Christian" who spreads this hate is NOT a Christian. Even the Pope has said, we must not spread hate. Yet, people still do. It's pathetic. "

Heavensent - A comic done in 24 hours
Posted 11 years agoAlright, so this comic was done by my boyfriend, Alex, and hid classmate and friend, Monique. At their college, there was a 24 hour illustrator challenge. Create a 24 page comic, plus cover, in 24 hours. I HAVE THEIR PERMISSION TO POST.
It's about a guy, and his (literal) angel of a boyfriend. It's short, but very sweet. Alex and Monique put in equal amounts of work, including them both drawing, so you'll see some blending of styles here.

Silly silly people
Posted 11 years agoAin't it cute when silly people whine about FA, and say they're gonna leave until (insert target here) changes/leaves/wakes up/etc? Just commented on one of those journals today. Made some good, logical points. Of course, people like these are being lil brats, throwing temper tantrums because they want their cake, and to eat it to. The comment I left was hidden by the journal owner, and they blocked me, just because I didn't give into their temper tantrum, and disagreed with them. They didn't try to defend their position, but just blocked me. They whine about certain groups out to get them, and how mods seem to get on them, while ignoring others who do the same. Of course, this is all biased nonsense on their part. You see, an hour and a half after they posted their "I'm leaving" journal, the put up a new journal, linking to some lil MLP video thing they made. Oh, not to mention the whole blocking me thing. CLEARLY they're avoiding FA like the plague, ye know? That'll teach the mods! Good job sticking it to the man! We're all so proud of your actions, dood! <3
Some people are just hopeless idiots. I wish they would leave FA for good. Then we'd have less stupid hypocrites on here! <3
Please note, I'm not ranting at those who leave due to unforeseen circumstances in their lives (illness, lack of internet, personal issues, etc). Life just shits on ye sometimes. We all go through it. I'm ranting at those who feel some injustice is being lobbed at them, especially if they feel it's the mods and admins here. They're not after you. You're nothing special to them, just another user of the site. The mods have to deal with so many people on a daily basis, they're not treating you any better or worse. They don't have the time or effort to. They have their plates full. Of course, to people like this certain person I'm talking about, they have a warped view of things, and feel they're special. These people are cocky and arrogant, and quite immature.
UPDATE: Oh looooooooooook, he left a love note on my page. Guess I hit a nerve! RedDragonKan left this wonderful shout "Assholes like you are the reason why furfags exist."
You can still see it in my shouts. I loved it so much, I shared it with the mods! The more who can enjoy it, the better! OPPS! Shit, shouldnt have done that, since the mods apparently hate him and all.
