Anyway you get the gist. I'm gonna be off-line for awhile to school issues and just plain getting tired of the people here on FA.

I thought my ire towards FA goers would be a short term thing at best, you know something that would cool after a while and everything would be fine, but instead I'm finding myself gettiing even more pissed off for some reason. That's the clencher right there, I'm not sure exactly why I'm so peeved at you lot. I at first thought it was the lack of people reading PoE or maybe even lack of comments on them (comments equal love, people, remember that), but it's more than that. I thought it might be the fairly low number of people on my owned Watched By, that even pay attention to my stuff or my occasional journal, but again that's only part of the problem. It turns out I hate how someone, perhaps an artist of a higher caliber, can post a piece of art, something that I would gladly kill children to have the skill to make, and the call it crap. Meanwhile ten billion rabid fans swarm in with and start making adoring comments that range from witty to mediocre to comments that are so lame it makes me want to annhilate the entire human race.

I admit it, I'm pretty damn jealous of these people, but what puts me over the top is how they ignore people and how infuriatingly arrogant they can be. I've seen a very famous artist who only Favs (I take these rather seriously, sue me) pieces of art depicting his own characters, in some cases pieces that he himself has done. (MBR I'm looking at you)

I admit it may be a stupid thing to hate, but it's one of my pet peeves. I see favs as a way of giving an artist a pat on the back for something of their creation. Characters, background, lighting, use of these three. The characters don't always have to be theirs, but to fav things that consistantly and exclusively depict something of your own creation is bigotry in my eyes.

Another thing I hate is how sometimes these artist fall into the trap of elitism. I've seen it and it makes me happy and yet sad. Happy, because I know what to do to avoid falling into that same trap and sad that anyone would ever think themselves as being so high and mighty.

Ugh, rant over. I know all this sounds like some veiled plea for attention, but I swear by my entire bloodline, the first person accusing me of being an attention-craving crybaby gets hunted down and pelted with dead ferrets. I might check up once in a while. Don't hold your breath.
