How Is A Raven Like George W. Bush?
6 years ago
There is no gift more precious or rare in this world than true love. Treasure those who share it with you.
So, I've been working on quite a few things over the last few weeks- trying to get my gumption back up enough after the extreme difficulty of several situations which I'm not fully at liberty to discuss as yet- and get back on track with the charity work I was wanting to do before everything went... I think "PBBLBLPT!" sums it up nicely. Those of you who know me and mi familia on a more intimate level will understand the issues. *thumps her chest* I often have the problem of having too much on my head- too many ideas I want to work on at once. Any given day at work I'll doodle up another 3 or 5 things for Sanita, at least a half-dozen assorted other things... so narrowing my focus down to one thing and working on it can prove difficult.
I'm hoping that as I sit here in my undies and just type away like this it might help a bit to nail some thoughts down... Just a few things I wanted to get out of my multi-coloured trivia-storage unit. I apologize for the lack of consistency and narrative flow. *chuckles*
Some of these might also be a bit upsetting as well, so I suppose I should offer a bit of a warning ahead of time. If you feel that this might be too early in the morning for a spot of the potentially unpleasant I would suggest you check out now. *smiles* No worries. It's all good. Have you a good day, if you can. Ave.
I really still enjoy the 80's animated series of Alvin And The Chipmunks. Even if much of the humour is dated and very groan-worthy now, the cute innocence of the kids and their adventures is somewhat touching, particularly after 5 minutes on any social media site... Oh fuck my uncle. *groans*
That said, I have to ask- was their music "Nightcore" before it was cool? *ponders* I think so.
Having one fewer arm would seem to make getting dressed easier from a mathematical perspective. One fewer limb to put clothes on... Try duct-taping that biz to your side and you'll discover that the numbers are not always what they seem to be. *sips her drink* Up yours, mathematics. *salutes* Ora, you have my respect, love.
I consider myself a very patient woman and hold to a very strong notion of "whatever two or more consenting adults want to do which is not hurting someone(a much broader term- hurting- than you're probably thinking) I really don't care. It's none of my affair".
However, I must be somewhat firm when I say, it isn't even Hallowe'en yet. Seeing crimmus decorations up already makes me want to hijack a sewage tanker and go all Saints Row Septic Avenger on this entire neighborhood, dammit...
Working for fifteen or more hours on a gift for someone, which they asked you to make, and then they show it less appreciation than someone else's napkin doodle? Yeah. That shit hurts a bit. *sighs and takes another drink* No, more than 'a bit'. Anypoop...
Realizing that noone you know in an online group recognizes Robert Patrick in his role as the T-1000 from Terminator 2 when you make a joke about the movie makes you feel... soooooo... oooooooold..... *flops out of her chair and struggles for the keyboard*
Kidney disease sucks. Just, from the ground up, sucks. *shakes her head* At least give it a cooler sounding name or something. "Systemic Renal Organ Failure" isn't too bad but it kinda lacks zing, you know?
This shit hurts, too.
George Carlin, Oh George, you were the bees knees. You were too hip for the room and truly, you went before your time. However, we do strongly disagree on several points, one of them being voting. You. *Points to the screen* Yes, You. Do it. Vote. Stop making excuses. You are not somehow "above" the system by which our political structure operates and the people elected WILL have authority over your lives as well, like that shit or not, it's the truth. VOTE.
Can we all please stop making fun of the folkes who cut themselves? *winces* You guys realize that's kind of why they do that, right? Isn't there enough misery in this world without adding to it?
Trust me, realizing that someone killed themselves and it was in part because of your cavalier attitude is not something you want on your conscience.
To those this would apply to- Please stop using"triggered" as some sort of juvenile pejorative. It's an actual term in serious medical use. What you're doing just shows your ignorance in addition to your dismissive attitude towards the reality of the term and those to whom it applies.
That S.O. who was "giving you an earful" because of the violent rape imagery you posted? Yep. They WERE possibly "triggered". Just like the military veteran who wigged-the-fuck-out when they saw the violent imagery of soldiers in combat or the poor kid who started crying uncontrollably when you cracked a joke about priests molesting little kids.
That imagery cued up memories of severe physical, psychological and emotional trauma they experienced and you being a dismissive narky cunt about it doesn't help the situation. Not telling you how you have to live, but I am asking, pretty pretty please, with sugar on top, show some maturity. Show some tact. Show some goddamn compassion, ass. Be the hero of your story, not the villain of theirs.
Sorry. *huffs* People's lack of empathy for the suffering of others is just REALLY repugnant to me and it's been something I've had to see a great deal more often of late in persons FAR closer to me than I'd have expected. I fully expect to hear some entitled twat complaining about that one. *sighs and rubs her neck* Where was I...?
Re-booting a series which has managed to last for almost ten years because its popularity is fading is artistic cowardice and shows poor understanding of the audience. Your fan-base is growing up and your show needs to grow up with them. Characters can change, mature and face new challenges. Your audience would probably really like to see that. New characters can be brought into the fold to appeal to your original target demographic if that floats your skirt but abandoning an established fan-base for the promise of a prospective new one is just throwing out the baby with the bathwater. *tches and shake her head* Bad form, Peter Pan. Bad form, indeed.
Yes, I'm talking about My Little Pony. *sighs*
As I seem to need to say this periodically, like some manner of Public Safety Announcement in a goldfish bowl--- *raises a megaphone and clears her throat*
If you have to ask me if I RP(ERP), you already know the answer. "NOT with YOU" If you follow my work at all you should have a preeeeeeetty good understanding of where my relationship loyalties lie and the seriousness with which I view them. I'm not interested in compromising those emotional ties with you for the sake of online digital wankery. Please don't be the asshat that makes me repeat this again in IM or chat. :)
Ever since I woke up, I swore it was Thursday. I just learned it is just now Wednesday morning. *blink blink* I may need to go back to bed.
Donald Trump looks like he smells like Pee. *snofts* Not going to miss that butt-burglar at all.
If that statement bothered you, eat me. *chuckles* He's a right bastard and I'm not apologizing.
I have a few other accounts on this site which lately I've considered linking back to this one. Still, I'm not sure if I would want to. The work I post on them is very different and I create it for very different reasons- so I keep it on a separate page. It's not a matter of dishonesty. I don't use it to cheat on my loved ones or "Troll people" *rolls her eyes. None of that faff. I'd like to think that I have more integrity and value my relationships more than that. The work is just VERY different, a different feel and tone and it's always felt like it didn't belong here. I dunno... *shrugs*
OH!
THANK YOU! *claps happily, wide-eyed* MASSIVE thank you to those of you amazing, wonderful, beautiful people whom have shown your support for what I do in these comics, sharing with you lovely people about Sanita and I and our little prince, Edgar Vincent! <3 I can't say what it's meant to me to read so many of the stories and missives I've seen over the last year. Knowing that what I make here has been something that touched you all, from an LGBTQ perspective or as an atheist or aspiring Satanist, or maybe you're just you and that's awesome! The fact that some of you have sent well-wishes or artwork or even gifts to our son... holy shit-biscuits... that has touched me in a way I could never have imagined, I think. Just... wow... thank you. Thank you.... Thank you. I can't say that enough. Thank you.
Always more to get out of the system but I'd like to end this on a bit of a up-note. If you're still reading this, thank you. Seriously. I hope that maybe one or two of the things here were a happy for you, if not maybe at least something to think about. Love yourselves and love one another. Ave Luciferi.

While I understand that with the popularity of internet communication being what it is, the breeding ground of lowest-common-denominator reinforcement, there seems to be this prevailing idea that if enough people mis-use a term that it somehow changes the term. *makes the jerky-jerky motion* Nnnnope.
Yes. For every dipshit that didn't vote last election because "Eh, she's just as bad as he is. What's the worst that could happen?" The Supreme Court is now voting on whether or not it will be acceptable nationwide to discriminate against LGBTQ citizens. THIS is what could happen, assholes. Vote.
I would agree that(havingnot seen ssn9 yet) the writing has been hit-and-miss in ssn7 and 8 but this is no reason to cancel the series. DS9 was very hit-and-miss until the Dominion War arc heated up in ssn4. After that, it became award-winning fare that for my money even ousted TNG as my top-slot of the lot for Science Fiction.
If the writing team isn't up to the job of delivering a decent turn with the characters, I can direct the producers to a few dozen new blood just from my FiMfic page. There are many good writers with a great grasp on story-structure, character development and the world of the show, all of them with already fleshed out episode-length stories ready to be adapted and story-boarded, transformed into episodes.
Though I have seen a metric fuck-ton, especially in the entitled masses of the furry fandom, who wouldn't know the difference between the two groups and couldn't be bothered to care either way. "ERMAGERD! YOU CRITICIZED MUH RRT! TRIGGURD!!"
If you're nursing trauma inflicted by dickheads, the best therapy I have found for it is revenge. Best served cold.

There's a difference between people who have suffered genuine trauma and people who are simply cry like babies over minor matters.
I will not excuse my lack of compassion for another human being vbrcayse they're a big baby".
I expressed my distaste with people misusing a term and thus far it's been used as a launching pad for expression of elitism and dismissiveness. Please stop this.
Your missus has my sympathies for What it's worth.
Having lost relatives in the Holocaust, I am also less than impressed with people who refer to ideological disagree-ers as "Nazis".
Having only half my allotted ration of kidney following surgery in March, I recommend "I Can't Believe It's Not Dialysis" as a title.
My family line was literally wiped out in WWII as well, btw. We refused to support the Nazi party and were executed for it. The only surviving members were the branch that left for America in the early 1900s.
As a Satanist my feelings are clear. As Lucien Greaves put it- "we're not about to advocate for any kind of violence against another human being but if he were to chike to death on a ham sandwich tomorrow I doubt any of us woyld lose any sleep over it."
I have no intentions to continue this. Fuck donald trump. Fuck people who STILL defend him.
I'm going to go eat with my wife now.
Fuck off, please.
* (There was one house that, for no explicable reason, would put up Christmas lights and play Christmas carols on Halloween. Not before, and not after! I was always under the suspicion they were firmly in the Trick portion of the Trick-or-Treat, Everyone, (including me) would avoid this house because it was so out-of-place it was legitimately creepy.)
For my tastes, I prefer shows that have a definite ending, instead of going all Gilligan's Island, where they never, ever, get off the friggin' island, the status quo never changes, and then the show gets cancelled. MLP is stuck in this horrible situation where it's on the surface designed for 6-y.o. girls, and must still be designed for that, no matter what happens, but now the main fan base isn't a new generation of girls, but Bronies and young women who grew up watching the show. The only thing I can think of that has managed to stick around for decades while it's fanbase ages, without losing the fact it's perpetually designed for children, is Pokemon.
...I still think they undervalue what this "reboot" has done.
Trying to control the use of "triggered" is a moot point. There is a portion of humanity that is just assholes.
.....PS You're correct that DS9 was the Best Star Trek <3
