Moving to a new account tomorrow, look for a CosmoTheStarCat, although I will probably find you first. ^^;

Down below are the most kind-hearted and loving people I know, and you guys have helped me so much through this crazy couple of months. I've had many ups and many downs, and while I've definitely hit my lowest point yesterday I would like to thank the following for just being so warm and thoughtful to me and that I love you guys for being there for me. Thanks for making me feel like I belong somewhere. <:3

recommended I should go to this con in September, and now I am absolutely motivated to go. I just have one problem and that is I may need some help to plan for it. Or some tips and stuff in general for it.
I've never traveled on my own before especially by plane, and I honestly have no idea what good estimate I would need to save up for it and how these hotel things work and such. I'm honestly really scared and pretty intimidated and I just want to be able to make sure I don't miss out.
Any help would be much appreciated especially if anyone is or you know anyone who is going. Not to mention it's Seattle, a city I have never been to.

Just a heads up I am planning on making some new accounts. Here on FA, on twitter and on others. Just the name Graytide is getting old and now that I seem to be picking up some momentum, I just want to start from scratch and get some things organized.
Plus I do want to rename myself Cosmo. He's become so much of an icon for me that I want to keep it as my own. So expect in a week or so that I will now be referred to as Cosmo.

Plus I'm sorry to the guys I promised gifts they may not be coming or as fast because it turns out I fucked myself up more than I thought I did in that skateboarding accident I had.
Apparently I can't move my wrist and I have to limp everywhere so expect me to be on here much more and not draw as much. Woooo/

I think it would be fun to give a little insight on my life. I've come to learn growing up and looking back I am a person who grows very attached to things. I appreciate every aspect of my life, knowing that bad times help make me stronger and gauge the good times that never last.
I was born into a military family that moved frequently. Because of this I have lived in numerous places and experienced lots of things. However, that came with a price, is the pain I've felt leaving things behind as I grew close. As of now I have learned I am now anchored emotionally to so many things.
Because of how malleable of a person I am to my environment, and every time I finally become truly happy and settled, it never ceases to happen that a curve ball sends me across the country. Friends soon forget me and I begin to question at times whether I really even lived there. And because my life changes become so drastic with the people I am around to boot, I have the mindset I died numerous times through my life.

I was once a boy who wanted nothing more than to leave his hometown.
I was once the bully who put others down to make himself feel better and wanted to hurt others.
I was once the most feared, hated and loneliest of my peers.
I was once the most successful and hard working member of my class who dreamed to be a scholar.
I was once the doormat and punching bag new kid who cried all the time and was avoided.
I was once a medal winning swimmer and a skater who was the ladies man of the town.
I was once the weeaboo who hung out with nerds who tried out parkour and wanted to be an engineer.
I was once the quiet one who had an interest in running a business and took courses on marketing.
I was once the goth who had no confidence and escaped to art and music to avoid the world in the winter days.

And then I met my two soul brothers, and I became the most one of the most vigorous and luckiest person in the world to have finally found life long friends. Friends I would never lose. I had finally thought this vicious cycle would have ended, of becoming happy only to lose it and start all over from scratch, to have to adjust.
I was so close. So close to finishing this with my friends and I would finally leave my family in a place where I can just stay put. But then at the end of that first summer we spent together. That summer we spent everyday playing games and going out and living our lives to the fullest, I learned I would have to move during my senior year in high school.
Now once again, it feels as though that life had never happened. Just like the others.

My life feels so scattered. It's like a giant puzzle with pieces that can never come together. It's making me afraid to move forward you know, knowing I might be leaving more behind again.

I think stuff like this can be fun! Ask me anything?

Still been working on my novel and more characters for it. Just conceived ideas for two new characters to add to the roster.

Karma: my first and so far only female protagonist I have planned for the novel. All I can say is she is going to be a butterfly and it will seem girly because this is after all a novel about imaginary friends I am making. However, don't expect her to be a princess in the slightest.

Kessler: an antagonist of the story and the blue to Cosmo's red. Expect snarky, devious and sadistic. I have ideas for what he will be, but his design is still in development.

The funnest part about them is what concepts made me create them. Especially their names and why Karma is the animal she is. Kessler's name especially, you'll see why him and Cosmo are going to connect if you do your research. Keep in mind Cosmo and reach for the sky and do the impossible kind of guy.

...just became to me what CAT is to Neku from the World Ends With You. All the things he has written in his books are so inspirational. Not to mention he was the artist who worked on Robin Hood, The Rescuers, Aristocats, Jungle Book, Winnie the Pooh and various others.
It's just too bad he isn't among us anymore, I would have loved to have met him. It makes me yearn to meet someone someday and teach me in real life. Oh well, maybe one day when I become experienced enough I could mentor others with what I will know.

The one thing that annoys me to kingdom come on this site and many others is when I hear artists day in and day out on all their posts things like, "Oh I could have done better.""Some other guy did this so much better than me.""This isn't even my best work.""I got really sloppy.""I'm actually an amateur."
My God, just get some self confidence, it is really depressing. I'm not saying become conceited about your work, but for the love of all that is good, just say something that makes you sound relatively skilled. I know no one ever implies or tries to leave this impression, but when you guys say that, what does that say to all the artists you are role models too or inspire?
Artists that are new and aren't skilled quite yet? It really spits in the eyes of their work. So please just say at least one thing you actually liked about your work if you are going to be self-critical, or else I don't think I want to look up to you anymore.

In all honesty, for a girly big-eyed high school setting slice of life anime, it's pretty funny. I actually found english clips too.

Sorry I couldn't find it in english but it's got subs.
Angel Beats is by far one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. It has really made me rethink my life and the way I see it, and this moment is one of my favorites.
I highly recommend this to everyone, even if you aren't an anime fan. It's only 13 episodes and all I can say is I was deeply moved by this short show.

It was a tough choice between Wreck it Ralph and this movie but I have to say, from not only being a movie I watched before Christmas but also the only movie I watched in a theater this year, I regret nothing. This movie is magical and fun, and I was moved by it.
It was awesome, deep, intense, funny, corny, mushy, and it pile drives your feels at the most random parts. I'll admit, there wasn't as much of the action "I" predicted there would be in it, but oh well. As for Jack Frost: well done, easy to relate to and immerse yourself into his story, and is probably my favorite character. It's a hard decision though, because all the Guardians are easily likable.
