Going out on a bit of a limb ...
Posted 10 years agoand deciding to post stuff to FA again.
Enough time has passed without serious shit hitting the fan that I'm a tad more comfortable with stuff on here.
With that being said, I've got my Weasyl account set up now so that if things DO go south, I can pack up and move without much notice needed.
Don't let me down, FA.

I'm all packed up and ready to go
Posted 10 years agoJust an FYI for all of my followers. After my last journal a few months ago when I said I was in the process of packing up and moving on from FA, I have now finished setting up an account on Weasyl and have transported the majority of my gallery over there (at least the stuff I think remains relevant).
My account is here: Dodge_Fennec
Following the IMVU buy-out I was interested to see what would occur after the initial 6 month bedding-in period. I read the missive about their plans back in February when everyone was losing their minds and thought it was just as much placating bull as it turned out to be.
The fact that change #1 turned out to be uncensored third party mature-content (I've done my share of mature stuff, but nobody wants granny porn, guys) and pretty much all packed to the brim with malware, shows me that not only are they looking for a fast pay-off, it proved what we all knew already -they don't care about the community as a whole, if they did, those ads would never have gotten the green light.
My concern is that now THAT plan has fallen through, what will be the next attempt? While its good that they conceded to the negative feedback on the ads, the damage had been done already for a lot of people, and this was basically a sign that things can only go downhill from here.
While I have no immediate plans to delete my FA account, I do now have my Weasyl life raft all set up, so if stuff continues to go south on FA, I have a back-up. If we get to the stage of IMVU wanting to start charging for premium membership, or deciding that they do want to try and enforce their entitlement to ownership of Copyright on anything uploaded to FA, then my gallery will be taken down as I have worked too hard to create the content for someone to start taking all the credit because of sketchy Terms & Conditions concocted by greedy lawyers with years of experience in 'legally' stealing stuff from other people.
I doubt very much that I will be uploading much new content to FA. There is already new stuff up on Weasyl that I won't be posting here. I may well change my mind on that one, but I no longer regard FA as a safe place to work from. The ground is unsteady and while I have never felt supported by the moderators or admins, it has not really mattered before now and I could live with it.
So, this is just an advanced warning to everyone.
My next step is going through my list of watched accounts and watchers and connecting with as many of them on Weasyl as I can.
Accounts are disappearing from FA all the time and it's really sad to see but unfortunately necessary.
_____________________________________________________________________________
TLDR bullet points
-I've made a Weasyl Account
-No plans right now to delete my FA profile.
-That may change if the next stupid thing FA does is stupid enough to push me.
-Dunno if I'll upload stuff here again but am thinking about it.
-Already newer content from me on Weasyl (not too much but any new stuff will definitely go there first).
-Got no faith in FA any more at all.
-Will try to reconnect with as many people on Weasyl as possible.
-Hopefully see the sensible folk over there.
Just thought you should all know.

Not Leaving YET, but I'm packing my stuff up just in case
Posted 10 years agoOkay, so I'm a little too late to this party to call it fashionable, and the bandwagon is so full that the wheels are in danger of falling off, but I have to say, the whole IMVU thing has got me kinda paranoid.
So, yeah, there might be massive amounts of nothing that happen as a result. There could be zero changes on FA because of the sale. Then again, there could just as easily be a dramatic update to the TOS, and if IMVU apply the same Terms & Conditions to FA that they do on their home site (specifically the part that states any/all content that you upload is done so with the automatic permission given to the site hosts/owners to alter, repost and/or distribute elsewhere without any requirement to inform the artist) then holy crap, you won't be able to hear yourself think for all the drama going on.
This is not an attempt at scare mongering, but rather a note of courtesy to all of the wonderful people on here who follow me and like what I post to let you know that I am going to be slowly uploading my things to other sites (mostly Inkbunny and DA, but I might consider Weasyl). It will be a while before any significant numbers disappear from my gallery (due to a combination of volume coupled with laziness) but there will be a slow trickle of movement away from FA.
Who knows, it might all turn out for the better, but I'm too much of a realist to not at least have a plan B.

Watchdog Chapter 10 - Readers please take note
Posted 11 years agoApologies all. I uploaded chapter 10 last night and didn't realise that FA simply cut off the text halfway down because I went way over the character limit. I was half asleep so I didn't notice until this morning.
I have now reformatted things and uploaded the rest as a second half, cutting it off a couple of sections earlier to even the whole thing out a bit. So, you will see some text that you have seen before if you already tried to read it, but don't worry, there's plenty more below that.
Part 1
Part 2
Hope you enjoy it ^^

I'm not sure how messed up this actually is ...
Posted 12 years agoOkay so ... this evening, I had my very first panic attack.
Not all that scary in of itself (with hindsight of course cause obviously, it was a sodding panic attack) but that's not what's disturbed me, nor was it what caused me to have the attack (which I'll discuss later if it remains relevant) but ... normally, when things get a bit too much, I go to my happy place to relax me.
Now, my happy place is an exercise I developed while on my Psychology course and it's a calm, tranquil place where I can kinda detach myself from any worries for 10-20 minutes and give myself a breather before I lose it.
My happy place is a small garden on a mountainside. There's cliffs rising high up behind and on both sides. A waterfall cascades down into a small pool/lake at the far end and a river runs through the garden (there's a little wooden bridge over it) and off the edge which is another cliff going down several hundred feet. The garden is deliberately secluded so nothing can get to me there.
The view looks out onto some really pleasant, mist-covered mountains and there's fresh snow everywhere (cause I like mist and snow). There's even a little Japanese style wooden house with the slides and stuff. I dunno why it's Japanese, it just kinda fit with the aesthetic.
I can normally calm down here.
However, I tried to go to my happy place today and (and this was with no conscious doing on my part) I found that my happy place had been trashed. The snow was melted and left bare, sharp rock, the waterfall had stopped flowing and all the fish in the little lake were dead cause the water was gone. Even the little house was all burned.
The mist was gone from the scenery and it was just a large expanse of desert around the mountains.
I didn't do any of that deliberately.
But what kind of depths of mental disrepair do you have to sink to when you get to the stage of subconsciously vandalize your own happy place?
I have a degree in Psychology but I'm struggling to be objective about this. I don't feel like I'm having a breakdown but then again, maybe I'm just (thus-far) handling it well.
Stuff to think about, I guess ...
... any ideas/helpful thoughts?

Super Amazing Project Name Game
Posted 12 years agoOkay, so I follow a couple of guys on Youtube called Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil. They have their own channels but have also done a channel together called The Super Amazing Project.
I was just watching some videos when I came across a name game that they did and it seemed like fun.
So, just for a laugh, I want to know what everyone's name is.
Legal Stuff
By clicking the link to this blog you are hereby obliged to provide a response to below that is accurate to the best of your knowledge and not just you picking out what seems to be the best options. Otherwise, carnivorous door-handles will devour you with rusty cotton buds next time you fall asleep.
(video link is here so you know I'm not lying)
THE NAME GAME
So, this works the same way as any other name game. You use an arbitrary fact about your life, combine with a second and you get a new and humerous name for yourself that is normally far better than your boring real one.
So, first, we need to find out your new First Name.
Find the day of the month on which your Birthday falls and note the name next to that number.
1. Kavlon
2. Shiney
3. Spoonslice
4. Ringo
5. Monkey
6. Oopa
7. Cream
8. Zingo
9. Loki
10. Prince
11. Spunky
12. Insane
13. Zebra
14. Zebranth
15. Zeeeeeeeeee
16. Snufflechops
17. Xexxox
18. Fenton
19. Flunt
20. Poop
21. Hulk
22. Captain
23. Delia
24. Snake
25. Super.
26. Cactus
27. Aiiiieeeee
28. Milthonia
29. Grandma
30. Thor
31. Sonic
Now, for your surname, look for the first letter of your father's first name. The corresponding name next to it is your new surname! ^^
A. Moonboots
B. Pikachu
C. Sockface
D. Plastic
E. Crustylumps
F. Circus
G. Funguszones.
H. Spoonteeth
I. Herring
J. Lol

P. Glitterpoop
Q. Testazzle
R. Rainbowflakes
S. Dugtrio
T. Parcelforce
U. Dogsack
V. Juice
W. Breasticle
X. Smith
Y. Ouagadougou
Z. Snape
My new name is Thor Romney, which is slightly disappointing because it means I have to share a surname with Mitt ... ... ... I'm going to the courthouse to change it back :(
Though it could be worse.
wolfoxx is Poop Rainbowflakes
and
Holmgren13 is Ringo Pikachu ^^
Let's see what everyone else gets
Come on
It's a little bit of fun that will take you a minute maximum.
Pllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeeeee *puppy eyes*

Hallowe'en Avatar! Rawr!
Posted 13 years agoNow I'm a werewolf! Rawr!
Just FYI -won't be seeing me at meets for a bit.
Posted 13 years agoI probably won't be going to the Manchester meets for a while.
The message that I've been taking away recently is (and this isn't me having any kind of a dig at the organisers, because its a thankless job and they do put a lot of effort in), but what I've been left feeling like over the last few meets is 'unless you have a fursuit, there's nothing for you here.'
Now, I wouldn't begrudge anybody their fursuit, because I'll admit, I really want one. I just don't have the disposable income right now. But, it seems like more and more of the meets are being designed to cater specifically to the fursuiters and the rest of us should go make our own fun. Unless we want to go on the fursuit walk and tell the fursuiters how amazing they are etc etc.
Again, not expecting anybody to give up their fursuit or anything, and this is not meant to be a massive amount of drama. But I'm not the only person saying this. The number of people who leave after the first hour these days is increasing, and to be perfectly honest, as we're left to make our own fun and socialise in a bar, well, we really could do that any time.
I just feel like the non-suiters are being ostracised for not shelling out hundreds-to-thousands of pounds for a suit and not being part of the chosen community (again, I really love fursuits, it's just this attitude that's been happening recently that has me irked).
All furries are created equal, but get a fursuit and become more equal than the others. Sorry, but, no. I take umbrage with this.
This isn't me boycotting the meets or leading a revolution. I'm not even suggesting that other people stop going. This is just me, letting everyone know that it's incredibly possible that I won't be there for a while.
I'm not trying to say organisers aren't doing their jobs or criticise just ... try to put more thought towards non-suiters.
I know there were activities planned for much later in the day. But how many people stay that late? Fursuiters come first, non-suiters second.
If there is a sudden sharp decline in attendance, then don't be shocked, cause as I said earlier, I am really not the only person that feels this way.
People should know by now that I'm not a spiteful, petty drama fur. I just feel kinda let down and I haven't had a great deal of enjoyment at a meet for quite some time.
So, thank you for the effort that is being in. I know people do appreciate that there are meets every month. I may come back soon, but if all I hear from people is that this elitist fursuiter trend continues to prevail, then don't expect to see me for a while.
It's been about three years that I've been going now. But the fun's gone out of it and I'm really not enjoying it any more.
I'm not leaving the fandom by any means. Just not going to the meets any more. That includes the main meet (don't even get me started on that)
Oh, and another thing. I'm incredibly camera shy. I don't like having my picture taken. So, meet organisers, for the people at the meets who are as uncomfortable as I am about this kind of thing, you seriously need to start keeping in check the increasing number of people showing up with cameras and snapping at everything that moves without asking any kind of permission.
I counted at least five today. So, even if I did want to join in the activities, it's another boundary for me because there's cameras absolutely everywhere and I haven't been approached once while people have taken pictures and video taped everything in sight to ask if its okay.
Sorry for the rant, I was going to try and keep this short.
But, yeah
Maybe see people in the new year.

Dreams that scare the crap out of you
Posted 13 years agoOkay, so having a degree in Psychology where I studied topics mainly focused on brain chemistry, therapy and (as a guilty pleasure) Para-Psychological phenomenon (but we won't go into that), I know the structure and content of dreams are often influenced by things you are thinking/concerned about.
However, once in a while, you come across a dream that just freaks you the crap out and, while this one was tame by most standards and not really featuring much in the way of horror, it just plain unsettled me.
Okay so, the basic idea of the dream was that my mate and I were staying in a hotel. It was very rural (I'm certain there was a moose head in the lobby) lots of oak paneling, run by an elderly couple who have long since forgotten the values of personal care. The manager looked like a carbon copy of Father Jack, put it that way (anybody not familiar with the UK show Father Ted can feel free to look up the reference later).
The issue was not with him, however.
Out room (with ensuite 1950's floral wall paper and basically decorated like an old lady's sitting room) had one of those doors that connects the adjoining room. We found this door to be unlocked. So I tried to lock it.
I pulled it to, turned the key and noticed that it hadn't locked. I tried again. It wasn't locked.
I then opened the door to find our 'neighbor' on the other side. RIGHT on the other side. Like he'd been standing there staring at the door. This was a bit freaky.
Now, the individual in question looked like he was being played by a cross between David Tennant and Zachary Quinto (he seemed to change between the two now that I think back, but you never really cotton on to this in a dream. Different mechanics apply).
Anyhow, we said hellp, and I mentioned that the door wouldn't lock. He gave me a seriously piercing, psychotic stare and said that I wasn't to lock it.
I asked why and he told me that we weren't allowed to.
Creepy.
I then closed the door and we went out to dinner. I remember seeing our neighbor at an adjoining table and so, thinking him distracted, I quickly ran back to the hotel and tried to lock the adjoining door again. It locked this time.
So what was suspicion before now turns to certainty that he was somehow preventing it from locking.
I return to the restaurant, we finish eating, we did something else I can't quite remember. Then we go back to our room, and find the adjoining door has been forced open and on the wall in blood is written
'I will kill you in your sleep'
Then I woke up
... incredibly freaked out
And I'm wondering which dark part of my subconscious this dream came from.
It seriously unsettled me *lows out a breath*
Oh well ... hopefully tonight I'll sleep less psychotically.
Wish me luck ...

[Warning. Spoilers] So, I just saw Prometheus ...
Posted 13 years ago... and I HATED it.
You know, for a movie that is sold on the premise of being a prequel to Alien, you would therefore expect it to leave itself at a point where Alien could therefore pick up from.
That sounds like the best idea to run with, right?
Then why was that far too much to ask of the Production Team on this movie?
Sweet Christy-McBollock-Waffles what the SHIT happened in that planning meeting? Was there a good story at one point and then somebody walked in, picked it up and said 'Hmmm, this is good ... let's change that.'
Now, it says it in the title, but often that's not enough to warn people about the spoilers, but I guarantee you that they are below, and IF you read on you will be told things about the movie, specifically the end and I take no responsibility for you reading onwards because you have now officially and decisively been warned.
So stop reading now if you want to see thins film and still have a shred of hope left in you that the Alien and/or Predator franchise has a shred of hope left in it ...
... actually, maybe it would be good for those people to read on. Then you won't waste your money watching this movie.
Okay so, I WILL say, that, as a standalone movie, if this were not supposed to be the Alien predecessor, I would congratulate them on a job well done for the most part.
However, that is not the case.
So, here are my gripes. No particular order as I'm too full of .. well, not rage per-se, that's a little dramatic, but a profound disappointment yet again in movie production teams. You were once great, Ridley Scott. What happened?
Okay so, gripe number one. This is meant to be an Alien prequel. And yet, there are no Xenomorphs present in the movie at all in the manner which we have come to expect. One is seen at the end ... sort of ... but that is all. So if you were expecting the creeping giant-headed slobbery fiends in gimp suits then you will be sorely disappointed.
I can understand that maybe they didn't want to make this a generic Alien movie, but that really is no excuse for replacing the Alien species that we know and substituting them for some tentacle waving bullshit.
Gripe 2. The 'Astronaut' That massive guy sat in the massive chair in Alien post chest-buster-ectomy. He's IN this movie and he sits in that big chair in the big ship that crashes ... but he doesn't die in the chair. He dies a mile away in a shuttle craft ... so how the cock does he get back in the chair? That's not just a continuity error, that's SUCH a failure it may actually haunt me as to how the hell that was approved by anybody making this movie.
Plus, the armour in the chair makes him a little bigger, but in the film, he's about 7 foot tall and nowhere near the size necessary for him to be the same guy in Alien who is MUCH bigger.
Error after error.
Gripe 3. Alien Genesis?
REAL SERIOUS SPOILER ALERT HERE
The whole idea of this movie (and I'm guessing because the motives behind the 'astronaut''s race could not be more unexplained if they tried. We have the guesswork of the actress who plays the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) is that the 'astronaut' (whose race is referred to throughout Prometheus as 'the engineers, and I will henceforth be using that mantle) created human life on Earth. I am not sure if this is what is depicted in the opening sequence because after creating human life, they apparently then decide to destroy it ... with (say it with me) Aliens.
But the reason why they do this could not be more unclear. Deliberately so, it seems.
But the Aliens in question are not the Aliens as we know them. Think of the movie Evolution. They start as black goo and then those mix with worms, which become snake-like tentacle things, which then become the elephant man's less appealing second cousin, which then catch THE engineer whose corpse we allegedly see in Alien and out of him emerges a not-very-evolved version of a Xenomorph Drone.
Now, this is supposedly a very dead planet (and it's quite by chance that one of the engineers is discovered alive at all) So I'd like to know how 1 drone can evolve into a Queen Alien and find enough sustenance to help her lay those thousands of eggs in the hull of the crashed vessel.
Did nobody bother to point out these plot holes?
AT ALL?
I could suspend disbelief. The synthetic human (who is played exceptionally well by Michael Fassbender and he is one of very few things worth watching in this movie) mentions that there are 'thousands more ships' just like it. So, even if there are Engineers alive on those too, am I to them believe that another one is going to be brought down by ... someone else who wants to save human life on Earth and force the vessel to crash in the EXACT SAME WAY with a pilot in the chair who later has a fully developed Xenomorph queen bust from his chest?
That's asking a lot of disbelief to be suspended.
Gripe 4. Alien Vs Predator
This is a continuation of the gripe above. As mentioned, this movie, set in the 2090's apparently delivers unto us the beginnings of the Alien species. From scratch.
So, forgive my ignorance, Sir Scott, but if that is the case then how can a) An Alien skull adorn the interior of a Predator ship in the 1990's and b) have quite an exceptional amount of them in an underground pyramid in Antarctica dated back a few thousand years?
So either, Prometheus is wrong or the absolute entirety of the Predator canon is to be utterly and completely ignored.
Aliens Vs Predator 2 was bad, but that's going a bit far.
Gripe 5. Technology
The technology in Alien is a little bit crap. But it's set and you can't change it.
So why *said rubbing my forehead* in a movie that is meant to be the sequel, do you make everything several times more high-tech and advanced than it is in the (supposed) future?
Was there a single person awake during the planning of Prometheus?
Prometheus leaves so many holes that it would take a hive of Xenomorphs to count them ... that is, if they do count ...
It is either scrubbing out everything before it (still with massive, gaping continuity errors) or it is a lazy script that has not been checked properly by anybody with a fully functioning memory.
Dear lord
Movie makers keep whining and griping about how Piracy is destroying cinema.
Well, to be perfectly honest, if THIS is the shit that you deliver on all that money that pours in from cinema tickets, then that is revenue that you do not deserve.
I expected better from Ridley Scott. I really expected better.
For shame.
You know, for a movie that is sold on the premise of being a prequel to Alien, you would therefore expect it to leave itself at a point where Alien could therefore pick up from.
That sounds like the best idea to run with, right?
Then why was that far too much to ask of the Production Team on this movie?
Sweet Christy-McBollock-Waffles what the SHIT happened in that planning meeting? Was there a good story at one point and then somebody walked in, picked it up and said 'Hmmm, this is good ... let's change that.'
Now, it says it in the title, but often that's not enough to warn people about the spoilers, but I guarantee you that they are below, and IF you read on you will be told things about the movie, specifically the end and I take no responsibility for you reading onwards because you have now officially and decisively been warned.
So stop reading now if you want to see thins film and still have a shred of hope left in you that the Alien and/or Predator franchise has a shred of hope left in it ...
... actually, maybe it would be good for those people to read on. Then you won't waste your money watching this movie.
Okay so, I WILL say, that, as a standalone movie, if this were not supposed to be the Alien predecessor, I would congratulate them on a job well done for the most part.
However, that is not the case.
So, here are my gripes. No particular order as I'm too full of .. well, not rage per-se, that's a little dramatic, but a profound disappointment yet again in movie production teams. You were once great, Ridley Scott. What happened?
Okay so, gripe number one. This is meant to be an Alien prequel. And yet, there are no Xenomorphs present in the movie at all in the manner which we have come to expect. One is seen at the end ... sort of ... but that is all. So if you were expecting the creeping giant-headed slobbery fiends in gimp suits then you will be sorely disappointed.
I can understand that maybe they didn't want to make this a generic Alien movie, but that really is no excuse for replacing the Alien species that we know and substituting them for some tentacle waving bullshit.
Gripe 2. The 'Astronaut' That massive guy sat in the massive chair in Alien post chest-buster-ectomy. He's IN this movie and he sits in that big chair in the big ship that crashes ... but he doesn't die in the chair. He dies a mile away in a shuttle craft ... so how the cock does he get back in the chair? That's not just a continuity error, that's SUCH a failure it may actually haunt me as to how the hell that was approved by anybody making this movie.
Plus, the armour in the chair makes him a little bigger, but in the film, he's about 7 foot tall and nowhere near the size necessary for him to be the same guy in Alien who is MUCH bigger.
Error after error.
Gripe 3. Alien Genesis?
REAL SERIOUS SPOILER ALERT HERE
The whole idea of this movie (and I'm guessing because the motives behind the 'astronaut''s race could not be more unexplained if they tried. We have the guesswork of the actress who plays the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) is that the 'astronaut' (whose race is referred to throughout Prometheus as 'the engineers, and I will henceforth be using that mantle) created human life on Earth. I am not sure if this is what is depicted in the opening sequence because after creating human life, they apparently then decide to destroy it ... with (say it with me) Aliens.
But the reason why they do this could not be more unclear. Deliberately so, it seems.
But the Aliens in question are not the Aliens as we know them. Think of the movie Evolution. They start as black goo and then those mix with worms, which become snake-like tentacle things, which then become the elephant man's less appealing second cousin, which then catch THE engineer whose corpse we allegedly see in Alien and out of him emerges a not-very-evolved version of a Xenomorph Drone.
Now, this is supposedly a very dead planet (and it's quite by chance that one of the engineers is discovered alive at all) So I'd like to know how 1 drone can evolve into a Queen Alien and find enough sustenance to help her lay those thousands of eggs in the hull of the crashed vessel.
Did nobody bother to point out these plot holes?
AT ALL?
I could suspend disbelief. The synthetic human (who is played exceptionally well by Michael Fassbender and he is one of very few things worth watching in this movie) mentions that there are 'thousands more ships' just like it. So, even if there are Engineers alive on those too, am I to them believe that another one is going to be brought down by ... someone else who wants to save human life on Earth and force the vessel to crash in the EXACT SAME WAY with a pilot in the chair who later has a fully developed Xenomorph queen bust from his chest?
That's asking a lot of disbelief to be suspended.

My thoughts on an MLP-related incident today
Posted 13 years agoI Hate Everything*
It's a fact of life that we all have to live with whether we like it or not, such as Bears shit in the woods, Justin Beiber still draws breath and for some reason or another, My Little Pony is still hanging around like a sparkly turd that just won't flush.
I am not normally roused to anger. Anybody who has met me will know that I am possibly one of the most tolerant people going. I am nice to a fault, ladies and gentlemen, but there are times when I am irked and today has been one of those days. Woe betide.
I don't expect to be taken seriously by the individuals with whom I have umbrage, and that is really not the point of this Journal. I don't expect to change anybody's opinion. I could belittle my opposition by referencing their views as a mild-verging-on-serious delusion, but I won't because I am trying to be serious as well as satirical here. My point in writing this journal is simply to put across a point.
Again, I don't expect the more hard-core members of the opposition to actually get all the way through this. I would be firmly staggered if the majority of the comments following this are not ill-informed hate-responses and trolling, but if I had even the slightest shred of respect for the views of the people who leave those kinds of remarks, it might actually bother me. Serious, well-worded and critical responses I welcome. Trash and trolling doesn't deserve the IQ points that I would lose reading them.
Anyhow!
I do not name names and I shall not break that trait but an artist whom I am quite close to posted a picture today which dared to suggest that there are persons within/without the fandom who do not think that My Little Pony is the very greatest thing to claw its way from the primordial ooze. I know, it's a fantastically crazy notion, but if you can find the time to have a break from gasping in horror, there is more.
The submission further suggested that there are persons in existence who would happily not only state firmly and proudly that they hate My Little Pony in all its forms, but that the cult (yes, I used the word cult) who have descended upon this Television Show aimed at -hold on to your seats- pre-teen girls as a demographic audience, are persons with whom they would take some manner of issue. Those issues ranging from mild irritation to homicidal rage. This is where things get messy.
The Submission is not what I take issue with, ladies and gentlemen. In fact, I may possibly lose the more mentally unstable of my watches by saying this but I am actually in wholehearted agreement with the sentiment of that submission.
I absolutely detest My Little Pony. I watched several episodes for the simple reason that it did not seem to be going away and I wanted to make sure that there was a reason for that. I do mean several episodes too. I forced myself because I had managed to gather up some optimism from somewhere that it would -by sheer improbability factors if nothing else- get better.
Now, I will not fault production values. For what it is, the cartoon is well animated as far as it can be with the chosen art style. But as for the writing, script and sheer unyielding, lazy cliche with which the show is driven, I had to draw a firm line and declare that I truly could not see what any and/or all of the fuss was about. I do not get it and to date, not a single person (brony or not) has been able to give me a satisfactory reason as to why this thing is still running riot within the fandom. I would welcome a response to that, but need to stress that personal opinions of the show are not valid reasons.
Is it the sparkles? Is that the very magic ingredient that anything needs to make it an annoying, unstoppable sensation. It has done wonders for Vampires, Werewolves and irritating Canadian dwarves with bowl haircuts. Who knew that I could pour glitter over the most offensive of trash and instantly derive incalculable revenue?
I have asked this question before got "because its awesome" and questions about why I am so intolerant. The first is an opinion, not a reason and as for the second, you are a sub-section of a sub-section of a Fandom, not a race of people. Intolerance is reserved for when it is actually, seriously valid. People not agreeing with you about the entertainment values of a children's television show is not the same thing. The fact that the person who's comments brought about this journal referenced Nazi's oppression of the Jewish people when discussing hate towards MLP was so incredibly offensive to me that I could barely form words. This is nowhere near the same thing. Seriously, how dare you? The fact that you even considered this issue to be in the same realms of reality are beyond my capability to express rage for. Relevant or not, you do not get to reference that in the same context.
I'm getting off-track.
The main issue that I had with My Little Pony was not that it was poorly and predictably scripted, nor was it the research that seemed to have gone into making the most stereotypical of characters to please every conceivable demographic, what annoyed me most about it was that its sole purpose in existence can be summed up in one word. Merchandising.
Like the dead-horse that was once Sonic the Hedgehog that SEGA regularly beat in the plaintiff hope that a few more pennies will roll out of the corpse, this cartoon was created to sell cheaply made plastic crap and clothing produced by third-world residents in sweat shops to first world folks who should know better but just can't help themselves from being lured by the bright colours and cloyness.
Again, getting off track, sorry.
So, unable to find anything of value in My Little Pony, I find myself increasingly and repeatedly perplexed by its popularity. I have yet to un-watch anybody but I must admit a recurring feeling of disappointment each time an artist that I have followed because of their talent and previous work turn their gift to producing this hoofed nonsense. I have seen instances of people rage-quitting the fandom forever (see you tomorrow), especially when FA had an MLP banner, but until now I have been perfectly prepared to sit on the other side of the room and calmly request that it be kept away from my vicinity. I do not generally care what other people get up to. I really don't. There are things that people do that should disgust and offend me and even if it does, I just look the other way with a sense of dignified apathy and up until now I have been doing just that with MLP. Quietly hating but keeping my mouth shut because everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter how many times I have cause think those opinions are stupid and wrong. But MLP is being shoved in my face every which way. I know every time I log on to FA there will be MLP art on the front page. It's exhausting. I was even prepared to put up with that for a short time but the near-sightedness of the Bronies has pushed me to speak up.
Now, I am not trying to make this a blog about hating MLP or Bronies -even though you could have picked a significantly less douchy name and saved us all the red marks on our faces from each time we've been forced to slap our hands to our eyes upon hearing it- I am merely stating an opinion. My opinion.
The reason I was spurred into action means going back to the Submission. Because no sooner had the post appeared on the front page was it pounced upon by a Brony who challenged the very idea that people could possibly have negative opinions to MLP and to go a step further and dare to make a submission about said negativity. They persisted, stating -and I'm paraphrasing- that people were seemingly not allowed to say anything bad about MLP or Bronies. This is where I take offence. The Brony demanded an explanation as to why my artist friend hated the show and questioned how and/or why people could possibly get annoyed just because there are FA artists posting MLP submissions. Citing that anti-MLP submissions such as this are perpetuating the "childish hate" against the show.
It is a children's show. Everything about it is childish. If you think otherwise then you have lost your perspective somewhere amidst the Technicolour gravel. Take a rainbow torch and go search for your slender grip on reality.
It is comments like this that force me to refer to the Brony epidemic as a cult because that is precisely the type of behavior that is being exhibited. The flurry of angered dissent upon anybody who does not conform and the single-minded tunnel vision that leaves room only for their MLP-world view despite all rational thought to the contrary is ridiculous. As an exercise, just please take a step back and have a look at what you are defending with a few deep breaths and some serious thought.
The mere fact that this is coming from a member of the furry fandom should turn heads because if a furry is urging someone to find some perspective then something must be going wrong somewhere.
As I stated earlier, nobody can explain to me why it is still here. I don't understand it and the sheer fact that it is everywhere -still- just irritates me. I expect someone below who has not fully read through this and immediately determined me to be a trolling anti-MLP terrorist to ask me the same question. Why do I hate MLP? I have explained why I do not like it above and the mere fact that it is STILL here irritates me because I cannot understand the appeal.
I know why the morons who cannot see the copy/paste marks love Twilight. I know why idiots fawn over Justin Beiber. But I cannot fathom why Furries love MLP. I do not get it at all. You can't even make a fursuit because you would need two people and you would end up resembling a pantomime horse. I do not understand.
But, I have kept it to myself -until now- because I wanted to make a simple point. I have gone off track and I have possibly come across as a really hateful person ... actually, I am a seriously hateful person when I get going but my point is this:
Bronies, you are perfectly entitled to your opinions with regards to MLP. The rest of us, however do not have to like it and when we do not like it, you do not have the right to throw a massive bitch fit about it. In the same manner that I have stayed quiet until poked. I will respect your opinions as your own. I don't agree with them, and even though I would wipe MLP from existence given the power and opportunity -hopefully taking Beiber and Dub Step with it in one fell swoop-, I would not seek to try and change your opinion because that would be me imposing my views forcibly and that's how wars begin.
You have found something magical to fill your lives. Congratulations. But don't expect everyone to like it. You love for My Little Pony is just as valid as other people's hate towards it and unless you want to get into a sparkly dictatorship situation, things will stay that way. So, you will have to expect and respect the artists who want to post anti-MLP artwork just as equally as the rest of us expect the MLP bandwagon to keep trundling along.
I have said my piece and I will not be posting any anti-MLP comments anywhere other than this journal. But I am quite tired of the sheer lack of perspective going on around me and the ridiculous things that cause arguments.
Third World Hunger, Serious Economic Crises, The fact that Jeremy Kyle still has a TV show. There are SO many real issues going on in the world that require attention. The giant icy bits of the only planet we have are melting and people want to throw rage fits about the fact that some people don't like sparkly horse cartoons? Put some of that effort into something that's actually worthwhile. I'm sure I'll be criticized and called a hypocrite because I've spent so much time writing this, but I have had a productive, worthwhile day. I don't feel the need to brag about what I achieved because I m not that sort of person, but an hour once I am home to write a journal doesn't seem like so much time wasted. Plus, I'm in a much better mood now, so consider this therapeutic.
I feel I have outlined my position as best as I can. I am certain that you can pick at all of the holes and call me a hypocrite and ask "well, if you claim that you want to stay quiet about your hate for MLP, why is there now a massive journal where there used to be your supposed silence?" I would retort that again, I stated above -I was irked and took action because I saw something today that annoyed me. I would have stayed quiet this had been kept this out of my vicinity.
Once this is done, bar the probable arguments I will no doubt get into in the comments section that will further develop my lack of faith in humanity, I will go back to quietly hating on my side of the room and ignoring the MLP extravaganza.
I am certain that this journal will spur on numerous responses that won't be worth my time reading. Anybody posting TLDR btw, you will make a fool of yourself and let everybody know that you are a troll. Nobody likes trolls. Not even My Little Ponies, I'm sure. TLDR got old before it knew what was happening and if anything it suggests that you have nothing of value to contribute and therefore should have said nothing at all.
But like I said, serious responses that aren't just demanding my head on a pike will get looked at carefully.
I still seriously doubt that I will have changed anybody's opinion with this -other than making a few people hate me, which is kinda sad if you think about the reasons why you hate me now- and likewise, unless you can answer the ultimate question here (not the answer to life, the universe and everything, of course, we all know that's 42). But if someone can explain why MLP is so popular -and I do mean a real reason that is not your personal opinion- it may give me pause to reconsider.

No, I'll usually at least have boxers on.

Now you can stalk me and find out just how dark and bemusingly absurd my world really is.
I don't tweet reams and reams of identical twaddle about what I'm doing on facebook and youtube either, so have no fear.
No RPs over twitter though people, its a public cache of unintelligable nonsensities that anybody can find and or read :S
I may follow you back if you say interesting things.
I will not instantaneously buy things just because you advertise them.
And I most certainly will block people if they annoy me.
Think on.
