FOR THOSE WHO DON'T CARE/DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT/ARE SICK OF ME YAPPING ABOUT THE AVATAR MOVIE, KEEP SCROLLING. THAT'S RIGHT MOVE IT ALONG GO READ THAT FANFIC OR CAPSLOCK COMM OR DAILY_YURI.
I fucking done with the Avatar movie talk. I don't care how awesome it turns out to be or that it's so bad that it's awesome. I don't care if someone makes a rifflax out of it. I don't care if my anime club is having a showing a la bootleg. I'M NOT SEEING THIS MOVIE. If I'm thinking of flouncing from two comms just because of it, something is wrong.
( DONE. )
This whole damn thing is affecting the way I deal with things i.e. just-go-with-the-flow. Maybe it's because it's something I've tried to ignore. Maybe it's a good thing. All I know is that I'm not doing this on purpose. Being angry gives me headaches and those I do not want. I don't like being angry but damn if if I don't need an aspirin right now.
AND I WASN'T EVEN GOING TO SEE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE WAT THE HELL
No more of this damnit! I promise myself and anyone that reads this that I won't type about this here anymore! My blood pressure can't taaaaake eeeeet~

So. I really hope that this is some kind of 'social experiment' done by a concern troll.
Words couldn't describe how pissed off I will be if it IS true. All I can say (without breaking my keyboard in anger) is this:
I'M TOTALLY CALLING THAT SOME TROLL OR MISGUIDED SOUL WILL POST A SECRET ON F_S SAYING HOW MUCH THEY LURRRRVE THE CAST CHOICES AND HOW THE PEOPLE THAT OBJECT ARE THE RACIST ONES.
...
WITH IN TWO WEEKS OR LESS.
Totally called. Too. Fuckin. Easy.
Kay, now to ...ugh final homeworks. D:

They were playing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Family Channel. (I'm one of those weirdos that liked both movies.) Watching them both, though, made me realize that if they switched the titles around, it would have fit more. Come on, the first one was waaaay more about Charlie and vice versa but that's not that important. Let'stalkabouttheAvatarfinale! =D
I'm just going to get something out there. It WAS NOT perfect.

I have so much stuff to do and prepare for and not enough money or good karma to do it with.
That and my little brothers are driving me insane! One of them is ten and is going through that awkward/annoying I'm-not-quite-a-teen-but-I'll-act-all-angsty-anyways phase. So he's taking it out on everybody around him (not that it has no merit 'cause my mom and ex-stepthingy are getting a divorce) and IT'S DRIVING ME UP THE WALL.
As for the stuff I gotta do, I have to get an apartment, convince someone in my family to co-sign a loan, build up my portfolio and get a job. The first one is going...well I suppose, but is connected to the second one as I want to use the money I'd usually pay for a dorm to pay for a waaaaay cheaper apartment. BUT THAT'S HARD TO DO WHEN EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY THINKS I'M IMMATURE. Which is...very much true. The portfolio thing goes as well as it can but I need to actually finish shit before I can say that I've accomplished something. The job thing....well I've never had much luck in getting a job on my own. I'll try, I'll always try, but it never carries through...
I'm just so frustrated right now. I just want my problems to be solved. I just want a life of my own, that's all. I'll do anything to know everything will be alright.
Somebody....help.

So here moved stuff to IJ. Mwa ha ha! I even managed to copy most of my entries there. It was an...interesting process.
Now to address some of the dramas within LJ itself.
(Follow the fake cut to the new journal with rant inside! )
So I'm not boycotting. ...At least not at this time. Give me a more organized strike at a better time and I'm there. However, this just seems too cobbled together for me. IMHO, if you're going to stand up for something, then do it with a stomp, not with a light tap. I say we wait and keep our eye on things.
I don't like what I'm hearing. I don't like how things are going and I'm not sure I want to keep supporting this company. But I'm staying cause I like you guys. :D

Dear two writers of fanfics that I like,
Author#1, it is not necessary to label scene cuts to the name of the character who has the pov of said scene. Really. You don't have to. Especially since, well, sometimes it turns out that the character DOESN'T have the pov for long. :/ Stop using this. Your fic is not a screen play and shouldn't be since you're on ff.net.
As for you Author#2, I just found your fic and the concept intrigues me. However, I'm starting to worry when you say things like "well, he'll have a backbone and is not a whiny momma's boy in THIS fic" (hint hint to the character I'm talking about). I mean, yeah, he is a whiny scaredy cat but that's one of the things that endears me to him. How about this, you SHOW me HOW he's become this way (even if this is an AU) instead of telling me then we'll see how much he's changed. Character growth/change can be a nice thing but starting out with a cardboard cutout of a pre-made character and inserting super-special-awesome traits is tittering on the lines of OOC-ness and Gary Stu-dom. But hey, this IS the first chapter, so I'll cut you some slack. Just keep him HIM, ya know.
Kinda liking ya,
abyss =;o

Dear self,
Do your homework and STOP READING RANT COMMS FOR THE LOVE OF CREAM PUFFS!!
Love and Disappointment,
Ebony =;[
P.S. If you're seriously thinking about making a fandom shout out comm, then just do it. Remember that one comm you said you were going to do and never did? Well, now it's too late for that one, isn't it! GET ON THIS ONE! GRRRRR.

And it's not even 4chan's fault! It's actually 4Kids fault, though.
If you want to know a couple of the reasons why I'm depressed right now,
READ THIS.
...It's a sad day for someone who is optimistic about 2D animation. A sad, sad day.
(Well yeah, SatAm cartoons were already dying but I had some hope.
Now with Cartoon Network starting to have live action shows (or whatever the hell), I don't know, peeps.
Oh, and seeing the 2nd season of XS come out on DVD? With Kids WB dying off? Ain't gonna happen without a miracle.)
I...I'm going to do homework to concentrate on something else. I just might tear up about this kinda thing. I just might. Okay, maybe not quite all that but...wow. It really is the end of an era. (So where's our nostalgic countdown of all that was great about cartoons in the 80's and 90's? OH! That'd be a good idea!)
Hey, maybe if 4Kids just focuses on original shows and not on screwing up anime then there could be some living on of it...
At least, Don let me borrow the first season of Batman Beyond. *sighs* Good times...good times.
I...I need a hug. D:

1. Online class work (AH15)
2. A compare and contrast essay (HIA) (that will be considered late :P )
3. A clay head to fix (H&H1)
4. The usual homework (H&H1 and CF2)
5. Two illustration rough drafts I've got to do
6. A tutorial on full lips (?)
But until I do it, DISTRACTION. I gotta show you guys something. Limyeel's fantasy rants. So much information and ranting, I'm in love.
In other news, I am still contemplating commissions but I think I should practice with requests first. No, not YET, 'cause I have a lot of crap to do but as soon as I'm done...
Also, my journal is in need of a make over, just for the sake of change and whatnot. I want to play with CSS so any advise on that would be excellent~~

So I've come along a problem. A problem I've seen a lot in this world, so not this is not slight to anyone in particular. But it needs to be said.
People. Use your communication skills.
Seriously, we have not mastered the talent of reading minds yet. Talking behind other people's backs doesn't really solve anything. If something TRULY bothers you, then say it to the person, face to face. If it's that important, if it's bothering you, then just do it. Period.
Sure, you can't be honest all the time; there are times when you can't be honest at all. But in the end, honesty is a good policy to keep in your files. Being frank may not bring you 'closer to God' but so what? You've got to live your life.
I always held on to the belief that you should not let ANYTHING completely rule you. If you do that, you become unbalanced. That's not a good idea. You're letting this, your so called 'pride', rule you from moving on.
Don't do that. It's a waste of your time.
Now, yes, I'm being a bit of a hypocrite here. This is something I've got to learn too. Like I said, you can't be honest all the time. Right now, however, I know that what I'm typing is coming from my heart.
So you can ignore this post if you'd like. Say that there is no such thing as being up front with those around you. To a certain extent, you're right.
But are you really so sure?
...
And that's the end of that!

In this week, abyss complains about...
STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT CARTOONS!!!!
Yes, I'm aware that I'm being a hypocrite here so please don't point it out. Also, I'm not talking about any certain person here; it's a general thing.
I'm just tired of hearing it!
< sarcasm > Oh, anime sucks! Oh, so does Disney! Oh, _____ is so overrated! Yet I'll keep talking about it even if I've already made my point three weeks ago. < /sarcasm >
For the love of shiny things, let. It. Go.
We get it okay.
You've 'grown out' of anime/Disney/living in a tree house.
You think The Incredibles was overrated.
You think Dreamworks' style is too realistic.
You KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT even though you haven't EXPLAINED the exact reasons why you think it sucks.
If you are going to complain about something, turn it into a real argument such as:
I don't like Evangelion. I don't like it because the characters did not pull me into the story line. I also don't like it because at the time everyone and their mom was pressuring me to look at it; the first two episodes turned out to be really disappointing. The characters did not leave a good first impression on me; so why should I care about them? However, since I've only seen three episodes (which most anime-haters only have) I will give it another chance as soon as I find the time, my OWN time.
See what I mean? Compare it to someone who says something like this:
Disney sucks! It's so juvenile and soooo totally, like, over!! I mean, like, they are soo copying off the big eyes anime-style.(which any true cartoon fan knows, it was the other way around.)
Idiot. Look things up before you make assumptions like that.
I think if everyone just took a week off from complaining so damn much, the world would be a quieter place.
It's stupid that I can't enjoy my manga/cartoons/whatever-the-hell-we've-decided-to-call-them because some loud mouth in the same room hates how girly shoujo manga is. HELLLO! It's SHOUJO which means 'girl' in Japanese. It's suppose to be girly, whatever that means to you.
And yet these are probably the same people who hate shoujo-anime for its gimmicks and love shounen (boy) anime because 'it doesn't have any'. ...Excuse me? What kind of sense does that make? I'm sorry, but you're a fool if you think shounen-anime doesn't have any gimmicks or gags. All cartoon-styles have some sort of gimmick whether you notice it or not.
Then there are those anti-Disney people. I'll admit, I was on their side for a while. I was during my 'Anime/ the WB is cooler' stages. These are the people who accuse Disney of being too cutesy (which it is sometimes. Admit it) and too family oriented.
Then I asked myself, what's wrong with being family oriented? Why can't the whole family enjoy something at the same time? That's when I realized, Disney's purpose isn't absolute evil.
I've found that some of the Disney-haters are 'child-free' people, who are those who seem to dislike children in general because of the actions of the few children they meet. Hmm...well...to each their own then.
And what does this all come down to, ladies and gentlemen? Complaining about something you don't completely understand. It's the reason why there's racism, sexism and general hatred in this world.
Why, then, do we humans do this whining thing? I think it's because one of the strongest fears in the world is finding out that "You were wrong."
