I want to thank every one who snapped up a commission from me or donated, no matter how small. Weve reached the goal and we should be okay. Ill start working on these commissions as fast as I can without throwing my wrist out of wack

I want to give a big thank you to and another special someone who asked to remain unknown for their generous commission amounts. And an even huger thank you to for donating her amazing talent to help me get commisions. Im off to pass out now into sleep land knowing that Kei wont end up in the hospital in a day or two.

So..... We did a major fuckup (EDIT: Social Services did a fuckup)... backstory:

Kei filed for four back years of income tax. Were getting them in three lump sums. We got the first check and weve been waiting on the second. We got a check last week, we thought it was for one of his back income taxes So we went out and spent it on some fun stuff for us, made an appointment for the optometrist to get my new glasses, ect.

Unfortunately, Kei got the check issue dates for his disability check mixed up... "CORRECTION" It wasnt Kei mixing up his issue dates! Apparently Social Services sent their check a week early because of a fear of Postal strikes that are threatening to start and they failed to notify anyone. Our disabled friend was just as confused as we were when we called him" that said check last week was his disability, not income tax return. We now only have 80$ to pay our electric ($60), cable ($120), and food costs (we can get buy with food at $150) for a month. In other words.. were fucking screwed up the ass until we get his next income tax return check. Kei is in a panic... Im trying.. TRYING to stay calm. Hes calling revenue Canada tomorrow to see when his next income tax might come in (last time we called they wouldn't tell us, but that was a month and a half ago)

We are... literally out of food. We got food bank yesterday, but its mostly junk food. Kei needs a high protein diet because of medical reasons and we have none left (we ate the last of the meat two nights ago expecting his disability on wed). We had noddles and food bank food for the last two nights thinking his check was just late. Food is the major concern right away.

Commision slots filled, goal reached, THANK YOU!!

You will all get a small headshot sketch (or more if the mood strikes me, but I am a busy fox) in my spare time as a thank you ♥ Commissions have to come first but Ill get them done sooner or later. X3 Note me with your details. ♥

Okay seriously... its getting old... and boring... and old... please stop x.x

Seeing the same character/pose recolored a bazillion different ways is not unique.. its boring.. and money grubbing in my opinion.

If you want a unique character, buying an adoptable is not the way to go, seriously. Its not even your own OC, its someone elses that they threw together with little time or thought and gave out to the salivating masses...

Im tired of these thrown together things cluttering up my submissions list.

Character auctions are slightly less annoying... but only slightly.


Seriously people, make your own OC's. Stop fueling the fire.

Kei tried to make me do adoptables for cash.. I told him hell no.

I had my sabertooth bat things I tried to sell ---> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4125401/ <---- Ages ago, but they were a species I was custom making per character and no one wanted one... thats the closest Ill ever go to making anything remotely 'adoptable'

Please... stop it... seriously...

That is all.

Remember the first one to NOTE me a screen shot of my 10k page-view will receive a free single character commission to be done after my current commissioners piece is done. :3

So I have had a hellava past two weeks. As you all knew I was cleancleancleancleaning not only for company we had arriving, but because of the city's spring dump run that we wanted to take advantage of and get as much stuff out as we could. Mission accomplished! I have a floor in my bedroom that isnt covered in laundry, and Kei's computer office you can actually walk in without tripping on random computer junk! :D

On Thursday our good friend  amran arrived with his good friend  seylyn Who also turned out to be awesome :3 On Friday one of their friends  nemos arrived in a big RV and all five of us did random randomness things all weekend. Like... The three of them went hiking... and adventuring in town... and Kei and I sat and played video games cause we cant hike due to medical conditions. And then we all went to the overpriced Carnival that was in town... and drove past the theater that had nothing really good playing... and then we all watched lots of movies and played lots of games...

Nemos went home on sunday night (That bastard! *shakes fist at*) but that just gave us all monday to molest Amaran and Seylen. >:3 There were no witnesses. Bwahahaha

They left this morning, *sadface* Amaran and Seylen are off to visit a friend on the coast before they head back to that Alberta land place. We plan on waving at every plane we see until their home :P

BUT! Thats why Ive been kinda gone all week/weekend.

In other news, were getting closer and closer to my 10k Kiriban, so keep an eye out.

Also, I want to take a moment to point everyone in the direction of the Paws For A Cause. Weve started up a charity drive for the Californian Domestic Ferret Education Alliance. CDFEA is a sorely underfunded and little known Ferret rescue group inside of California. They are also the ONLY group that is LEGALLY allowed to rescue, care for, re-home, and transport ferrets out of the state of California. Without them, any and ALL ferrets confiscated in the state of California would be euthanize. As a ferret owner, and one who has lived in California with ferrets illegitimacy in the past, this is something that is very near and dear to my heart. Please take a few minutes to go to one of our in SL world vendors and donate a little bit. Information on this can be seen here : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5701130

Have a friend coming over Thursday with one of his own friends to visit for a few days. As such, Ive been working nearly nonstop on cleaning up the place (We needed to do spring cleaning anyway, this just put a deadline on it).

Well apparently Ive moved my wrist wrong in some way and have wrenched it... its quite painful. >.O Serendipitously in my cleaning I found my good (if beat up) wrist brace. So since I HAVE to keep cleaning, Im wearing the brace and trying to move a little slower. But untill this stupid wrist stops hurting I have to hold off on art (or writing, or scrubbing... Guess what Kei gets to do more of now). Which is incredibly frustrating since Ive been working on Quilin's character thing in my spare time for fun >.< Not a happy kitsu.

Doing a 10k pageview Kiriban. Winner that NOTES me first with a screenshot of my 10,000th pageview will recive a single character full digital character commission.

Good luck!

I SO GOT IT TODAY!!!! SQUEEE!!!

For those of you who dont know I have a not so secret love affair with The Last Unicorn. It was the first movie I ever owned that was just mine. I read the book when I was ten, I got the DVD of it when it first hit DVD.... and I got the special limited edition TLU DVD with awesome special features.. ectect

Today Kei got one of his GST Cheques unexpectedly (They had told us it wouldnt get here till june) So after setting aside a chunk for food we had a very rare 'splurge' day... And I got this beautiful book. The art in it is just absolutely stunning



http://theblackletters.net/wp-conte.....ook-tluni3.jpg



Thats an example of it. It was only $25, hardback too. Im sooo happy :D

And seriously, if your a TLU fan, you should look into getting it too. Youll probably squeel as much as I am :D

I write like Anne Rice apparently... o.O

I input one of my RP posts into it.. something that was good and detailed (dont expect to understand my world damnit)

Deep in the Imperial City there was an Imperial ordered excavation going on. Emperor Gabrial knew the location of many of the original locations of various structures, and one of great interest to him was that of what had once been the Imperial Breeding pens. He greatly remembered the many halls filled with only the best and most impressive of slaves that were used to breed many of the ancestors to the modern day Royal lines and Imperial slaves. He had read that the original facility had been destroyed during the first Anthronian war, not long after he himself had been incapacitated. Because of the degree of the attack and the fact that there was just too much of a war going on at the time, very little had been done to see if anyone had survived buried in the rubble. After all, while they may have been high quality slaves, they were still... only slaves. But Gabrial wanted to see if there was anything left of those that had been lost in the rubble. If there was any bone or tooth left from those who had been lost in the debris, they could be re-cloned, and some of the purest lines would be reborn. Siblings that had been lost could be recreated, and those of the First Brood would be reborn. Gabrial knew that this could be a new birth long needed to revive the blood of his people to its original glory. However there was a problem. As soon as the excavation broke through to an actual intact portion of the facility there were complaints. Whispers in the darkness had many of the workers spooked. The further into the dark and dust filled halls the worse they became. Lights that were hung would inexplicably shatter or go out. Gabrial would here reports of some of the workers going mad from the whispers attacking one another. They eventually had to pull back before more of the excavators went mad. Magic users were bought in, but even they refused to step further then twenty paces into the dark. Mage lights that were summoned were forcibly snuffed out, which was more then a little disconcerting to those who wielding magic.

result? Anne Motherfucking Rice. Not bad I say... Ive always liked her works :3

dont feel like typing it again, or copypasting, so read it there.

This last December Kei, myself, Myth, and a couple of others from the AX Club in SL created a charity drive in collaboration with Carridwyns Brew (probably spelled that wrong, sorry!)

It was a great success (raising over 500$ for The Snow Leopard Trus!), and we have decided to continue with the charity drives under the Paws for a Cause name.

That is all.

Okay Ive got two new pet peeves I want to rant about, both pertaining to the fandom. tl;dr at the bottom.

First, and most recent. Adoptables. Seriously, it was cute and unique when one or two people did them every couple of months or so... but this sudden influx of EVERY GOD DAMNED ARTIST suddenly deciding that Adoptables are awesome and cool I want to bang my head against a desk. Seriously I dont even bother looking at them anymore. Insta delete.

Second, and probably more aggravating is the repeat character. You know, that one person who has an asston of cash to commission every artist under the sun and you get at least ONE picture of their character in your inbox a day, if not more. I can think of at least three or four characters like that off of the top of my head. But Im not here to name names. Im just TIRED of seeing their characters over and over and over again. I have unwatched certain artists just because I have started to develop a loathing of their character. I love original characters to death, and Im happy they have the cash to commission someone.. but when you see them multiple times a day or even in a week, it gets tiring. Seriously, if you have 100+pictures or more of your character, could you please just stop for a while until your character becomes unique and interesting again? Or at least create a new character for people to commission that isnt just a different coloration of your regular character? Please?

tl;dr Adoptables are stupid and seeing the same character over and over again is boring.

Da Vinci was the greatest troll ever. In his painting of Adam and Eve he gave them belly buttons.

Think about it.


As per the mouth of my friend Vox.

So yeah, we sold our old TV on craigslist for some food money and to get the collectors edition of Avatar. (Got $8 off it for trading in our old original bluray Avatar).

I have to say, that some of the extended scenes add alot more depth and richness to the characters. Some I can understand why they clipped them out for time or the fact that it just wasnt all that vital.

Theres a few new fight/hunting scenes, the infamous 'sex' scene (I honestly dont see what the hubbub about it was with the test audiences that they had to take it out.) But the ones that are the most fulfilling are the ones that fill out the characters of Jake and Dr. Augustine, as well as Natiri.

With the additions I find the movie actually alot more fulfilling depth wise.

As for the special features... Im still going through them.. theres like... two bluerays worth of them in this collectors edition, but I bought it more for the movie itself then the special features XD

http://inkbunny.net/HikariShade

Yeah, I got one too, if only to sell prints of my personal stuff.

I wont make a commission a print for sale, unless a commissioner asks for it to be.

If you see a picture of mine you would like a print of (barring commission work as stated above), let me know and Ill upload it for sale =3

Ive said this before, but it apparently bares repeating for those who dont know my own personal rule about messangers

I will almost never message you first.

The reason for this is because I have been shoved off and chewed out for interrupting people when they are busy. I know most do not mean to do it, but to save my own fragile self esteem I dont message people first often. Theres alot of personal emotional reasons for this, and it is not a reflection on anyone in specific, nor even restricted to online contacts. Its just the way I am.

I am more then happy to talk most the time when you message me. And if I am busy, I will generally tell you so. And if my responses are slow, that doesn't mean I dont want to talk, it just means Im probably multitasking (a common occurrence). And if I notice I am being slow, I will generally tell you why and apologize.

This journal comes after I cleaned out my SL friend list/calling cards and got messaged by someone who said they had removed me cause I wouldn't talk to them. Which isnt true. If I never talk to you, that just means you haven't tried talking to me. =)

RANT RANT RANT! TL;DR at the bottom.

http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2010/.....er-2-children/

This is why the world is failing. Because were bubble wrapping our world and not letting the stupid kids die off.

Two children, ages 9 and 10 die by choking on little toy darts. Out of how many sold? And were suddenly going to recall all of them? Seriously?

Now I know it is tragic when a child dies. Its emotionally devastating to their families and so forth. But this is called natural selection. If a nine and ten year old die because their stupid enough to try and swallow/put in their mouth tiny plastic darts.... Maybe, just maybe, their not smart enough to contribute to future gene pools.

Now if the children were younger, I might, MIGHT, have more sympathy because then its the parents stupid fault for giving their children a toy that would obviously be marked for say, 6yrs and up.

I mean hell, I remember doing some pretty dangerous, and dumb shit as a kid. Crawling through a rolled up wire fence, I gashed my knee open. I still have the scar. What did I learn? Dont be stupid and crawl through the rolled up chicken wire fence. Climbed up to the highest part of a tree that I could and had a branch snap under me, causing me to fall several feet before grabbing onto a stronger branch. What did I learn? Test a branch before I put my full weight on it.

Perhaps I am being a bit rash... but stuff like this really rubs my fur the wrong way. You look at the children today and they have this constant fear of EVERYTHING. Not only that, but their spoiled beyond belief. They think that everything is some kind of candy coated world of perfection made JUST for them. And they have this disturbing sense of entitlement to things. I read an article that said that children in the generation just behind mine, fail to get jobs and promotions because of their arrogant view of how things should just be given to them. Why should they work for something, you should just give it to them because they deserve it.

And their parents today insist on being their kids 'friend' instead of their 'parent'. What does this leave us with? It leaves us with children who have no proper respect for their elders, who idolize drug and alcohol addicted sluts on TV (Sometimes even ones their own age) and who dress like it. Is there any wonder why we have so many more pedophiles in the world now? Maybe its because those parents out there who let their ten year old kids dress up like Lindsy Lohan or Britney Spears, in their short mini skirts and micro tops. Their making their children look like sixteen year olds when they should be dressed like CHILDREN. Talk about a major mindfuck to those men and or women out there who find themselves attracted to those poor kids. I know its sick, and they should all go to jail for even thinking in such ways about kids... but seriously, deep down, I can almost understand WHY. When your eyes are seeing a kid that is dressing up like they should be eighteen, and their only twelve, can you REALLY blame them ENTIRELY? Maybe just a LITTLE bit of that blame should go onto the PARENTS who let their kid dress up like that.

I mean, Christ. I wasnt even allowed to wear makeup until I was thirteen, and then, only in modest natural colors. I didnt even get my ears pierced until I was eight years old. And now I see INFANTS with pierced ears. SERIOUSLY? WHY?! Your child is not some little doll to poke holes in! Do you even know if she or he would WANT to have their ears pierced? That is a PERMINANT HOLE you just put in your childs earlobe.

Spanking is another issue I have. Yes, spanking can be abused by people. I understand this. However spanking sure as hell worked on me and my siblings as a kid. My mom rarely spanked us. And when she did, it was always such an emotional shock, and it stuck in your head 'oh shit, I really did wrong'. Going to our room, sticking us in the corner. Yeah it sucked, but you would be able to get out again in a few minutes. I rarely remember when I was put in the corner. But when I was spanked? That lasted. That stuck with me. Was it abuse? Fuck no. That was my mom giving us actual DISCIPLINE. We crossed a line and there was repercussions for it. Did we cross it often? No. Why? Because we knew that if we did we were going to get a swat on the fanny and stuck in the corner with a smart bottom.

This day and age kids arnt ALLOWED to be disciplined. Someone screams "child abuse' and all our parents turned to sissy's. Did you know that TICKLING is considered child abuse here in BC? Yeah thats right.. TICKLING. Because your 'child cant breathe'. Sometimes the world makes me sick. Seriously. Our world is degrading into a little bubble wrapped mess of self destruction because we take away all the ways nature came up with to control our numbers. Yes that includes all the sickness too. But guess what. Mother nature is a bitch. She's evolving to try and take us back down a peg or two. Her virus' and cancers and infections are evolving to work around our medications. Why? Because were CHOKING the world and the world is desperately trying to cull the herd.


TL;DR: Lets bring back Lawn Darts and kill off all the stupid kids.

This. ---> http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1268273/

Furious at myself, and furious at the prick who took advantage of us.

So heres the story, tl;dr at the bottom.

As a very few of you know, we had a house guest about... oh.... a month ago? His name is Fuzzie, or rather thats his fandom name. His real name is Nicolas Umphry. Yeah thats right, Im pissed off enough to use his REAL name too. Nick lives in the Vancouver area. He was introduced to us by a friend. We met him a couple of times, and he seemed like a nice enough guy. He then moved to Vancouver for medical treatment, rooming with another fur there and their room mates. Well a month ago, during FC, his fur friend was gone to con, and in that time, his friends roomies suddenly kicked him out or something, he didnt go into details, but he needed a place to stay for a couple of days and we, being who we are, told him we couldn't offer much besides a couch but so long as he paid for food, he could stay until monday (he had arrived thursday night).

He shows up, says he wont get payed until monday, and we were fine with that, and we make him as comfortable as we can. Monday comes around, he starts making calls to social services... Suddenly doesn't know when he's going to get paid, is arguing with social services. Were not to pleased about it, but we know how social services can be, so we let it slide.

During his stay we fed him, made him as comfortable as we could for sleeping on a loveseat, let him play our games and watch tv, ect. Every day I had to hound on him to make him call back social services again and fight with them to get his money from them. I hate nagging, but it was the only way to get him to do it, and we were starting to get desperate on our food stores. Our food is very very carefully budgeted out for a month for just the two of us. Often we will be down to nothing but ramen for the last week and a half of a month, but we continued to feed him. About the fourth day of his stay though, we started to see a bit of an unsavory side to Nick, one we didnt know about. He came home from the doctors office with a reflex hammer he had stolen. When asked why he said "I pay taxes, I pay their salary, if I want a 'dorito hammer' then im going to take myself a dorito hammer." I was a little not pleased about that, but I didnt say too much. (btw when he did leave he never took it with him so weve got a random reflex hammer in our house. Maybe Ill give it to my neices or something) Then, the next night he comes home with some cake thing from Safeway. We asked him how he had gotten that, since he still had no money. He apparently conned it/stole it from Safeway by taking up two cakes and saying "My wife came in here earlier and bought this one, but she ment to get this one, can I just swap them" or something like that. I was most unhappy with this story, but I did eat the offered cake.. I really wish I hadnt, in fact the idea that I did makes me feel sick and ashamed at myself. But regardless, on with the story.

So on about his fith day, he apparently had some friend or something who had two 'busted' laptops that she was going to throw away and had offered them to Nick. If he could fix them, he could have them, she was just going to get a new one. Nick gets them, and said if Todd could get them both to work, Todd could have one of them. Awesome. The first one, Todd had fixed in like two hours. It was just a corrupted windows install. The other one was a bit more complicated in the form of a bios password on it, and he was going to have to call Dell to get it. But Todd's ultimate goal was to at least give Nick a working laptop before he left, which he had done.

Well thats about when the fun started. I guess Nick decided that he had to have the best of everything, even if it wasnt his. Todd's brother, Mike, had a laptop that his daughter stupidly ruined (She spilled a glass of water on it, patted it dry with a towel, then continued to play SL on it until it suddenly wasnt working anymore, and then called us in a panic. Yeah, her net addiction is THAT bad, but I wont go into that). Mike had given us his busted laptop in the hopes that we could somehow revive it from the grave. Todd had opened it and had been trying to narrow which part of it had actulay fried due to being used while soaked (turned out to be the motherboard). Well while Todd and I were sleeping, he apparently had decided that he could make use of the parts from said laptop for himself. Next day, Todd goes to start working on the laptop with the bios password (he originally tried to see if he could jump the powersupply to bypass the bios lock like you could with the earlier models) only to find that... the wrong hardrive was in the laptop, and Mike computer's hardrive was wrong too. Confronting Nick, he was like "Oh well, I didnt think you would notice, youve got so many laptop hardrives." We were like, "Um no.. we have this one, and MIKES hardrive, that isnt ours." Now if it had just been the bios locked laptop, sure. I mean the two of those HAD been given to him. And if he wanted the best of those two we could understand, but trying to be sneaky and change out a laptop drive that wasnt his, and wasnt even ours? Todd nearly threw him out there, but I calmed him down, and we went on with things. After another week of yelling at Dell we finaly got the bioslock password (btw, if your laptop is out of warentee, and you get a bioslock on your dell computer, their going to try and charge you $50 to unlock it. Todd managed to get around it as posing as a computer repair store manager working on a clients computer, but not without a lot of headache that I wont get into).

Nick by this time had finally conned Social Services into reimbursing his bus ticket down here, one to go back to van, and money and reservation at a hotel near the hospital in van. He paid us $60 for the week and a half he had already stayed, and took us out to lunch. Only to inform us at lunch that he needed to stay nearly another week until he could leave. Todd and I were not pleased, but we bit our tongue.

That night, he decided he wanted to get high. Todd partakes in smoking some green every once in a while, very very rarely, and only outside so it doesnt agrivate my asthma. when Todd's in a lot of pain because of his disability. On average about once every three or four months. he didnt have any at the time, except for about six roaches that he had been saving for one of those times in which he just needed it. Nick said if he used his roaches, he would replace what he used and he called up a mutal friend of ours who sells, and bought a bunch of green from them and gave him a small nugget to cover what he smoked in his roaches. That night he used up four of our six roaches. Well... For the rest of that week I dont think Nick stopped smoking. Todd only partook that first night, he offered a couple of other times, but Todd and doesnt do it that often, and declined. Well WHILE Nick was high, he started to eat. And he didnt ask if he could eat certain things.. he just started to... browse. When we found something missing (Like almost all of Todd's cookies that we keep up in the cubbord so he can have a treat now and then or for if his blood sugar gets too low, as Todd's hypoglycemic) We chewed him out and told Nick to ask first next time. Did he? No not really. It got to the point where we didnt trust him in the house alone, for fear of running out of food, and for fear he was going to try and make off with something. But we just kept telling ourselves he was just there a few more days....

Well two days before he was to leave, he apparently ran out of the thirty something bucks of green he had bought, and then came to me, asking if he could have what little green Todd had. I was like "Um, no, he's saving that" Which we were. He was like, okay thats fine. But frankly, at that point, I didnt trust him. ANd that night I moved Todd's stash into our bedroom. The next day, a pair of friends of ours that we hadn't seen in over a year came into town. We hadn't seen them since Tatsu had been in a horrific car accident and had lost the lower half of his calf, and was now wearing a prosthetic. They were only in town for the day over at Mikes place, and fuck if we were going to miss seeing them after so long. So we went over for two hours, had a nice, if small, visit and then came home. The next day Nick left, and we thought we could let things go back to normal.

Two days later, Todd goes to his stash, to find that the small nugget of green he had given us to replace what he had used from his roaches was gone. Needless to say Todd was furious. We had three bucks on us, as we called our friend for at least a single doobie, who when she found out that Nick stole the last of Todd's green was furious, came over with ten bucks worth of green, told us just to pay her back when we could. Thats was sweet of her, and we were grateful beyond belief.

Well we kept finding little things here or there that were gone after he left, mostly food. Which hurt us bad when it came to getting groceries this month, but thanks to a dear friend were going to be okay in that department for the moment.

Now, aside from the laptop that Mike had here for us to fix, we also had our Nieces that needed a new powersupply. Easy fix, just needed fifty bucks for the new power supply. Not too hard. Mind you, we had kept her laptop, in its carry case, out of the way while Nick was here, didnt even have it out except for the one day Todd took it over to Doc's to make sure that it was just the power supply that needed replacing and then came home and put it back. Neice gave us the money last night for the new power supply and Todd went to Doc's today to buy it. When he gets there... it wont turn on. Tries to open the CD drive... and it practically falls out because its not secured. This is odd, because Todd didn't open this laptop, he knew what was wrong, it just needed a new power supply. He investigates further, opens the hard drive plate (which wasn't even fully secured) And the hard drive is completely gone. Now Todd's furious, comes home, slams the door, grabs his screwdriver, and opens it up. Finds out that the little prick opened up Jen's laptop to try and harvest it for parts. The wireless card inside has been ripped up in a poor attempt to dislodge it, and theres fingerprints all over the video card from where he tried to get it out and couldn't. The ram hadn't been touched but thats most likely because it was old, crappy ram that he wouldn't have wanted anyway. The case is cracked because the retard didn't know how to open it right, and the connections for the power supply to the motherboard and just about everything else had been unplugged. Todd is furious, and I am furious. Keep in mind. Jen is a single mother, her husband left her with a newborn to raise because he's a jackass. She is living with her parents because she cant afford to live on her own. She barely could afford the fifty for the new power supply, let alone everything else thats now going to have to be replaced. And the kicker? Nick KNOWS Jen is a single mother, didn't seem to stop him from ripping her off huh? Im furious at myself for being so trusting. As one friend put it "You guys get ripped off by almost everyone who stays with you huh". Im tired of it, im done. Im no longer opening my door to the strays that wander through. Im sorry. I cant keep being a charitable and giving person, when all I get is shit thrown in my face. There are a few people I will always keep an open door for, but no more will I let in everyone in with a benefit of the doubt.


SO! TL;DR A one, Nicholas Umphry, aka Fuzzie, from the Vancouver BC area. stole from us, our neice, and attempted to steal from our brother. If you see him, punch him in the face for me. =)

So someone came into my new dream, Nine Tail Tavern, and sat down at a table. I started to RP with them. They were some slave character that was 'waiting for her master' Me, being the typical kitsune, started to question weather her master was really coming for her, why she should allow herself to be considered below someone else, ect. Sowing the typical seeds of doubt and mischief kitsune are known for. Sure a lot of kitsune would have been nicer, but Hikari's always been one to walk the line of nogitsune, and frankly, she despises slavery and enjoys messing with both slaves and masters, to annoy or aggravate them. Very kitsune'ish behavior when confronted with something they dont believe is 'right'. Well this apparently angered the person who was playing this slave and they left. I messaged them OOC and well, you can see below for your own amusement. Please keep in mind, that at ANY point in time, this person could have EASILY hit the 'ignore' button at the top of the screen, or even just have typed 'ignore hikari|shade', at ANY time... I even TOLD her this multiple times... Yes probably should have stopped harassing them.. but it was WAY too much fun to keep goading them, telling them I wasnt going to stop talking until they ignored me. (only edited to censor their name so I dont get vigilantes going after their moronic ass)


(22:17:15) Hikari Shade: Lol, sorry for that, but it was kinda fun XD []
(22:17:29) S: you know you have seriously screamed up kitsunes
(22:17:41) Hikari Shade: Screamed up? o.O
(22:17:48) S: screwed *
(22:18:02) Hikari Shade: and I know my kitsune lore quite well thank you. Hikari however has always walked on the line of nogitsune
(22:18:28) S: kitsune are ones of lust not games
(22:18:45) S: it actually quite disguested me that you would bastardis them so
(22:19:09) * Hikari Shade laughs. "Ah, no.. Kitsune often played games and mischief. Yes they were also known for lust and seducing, but there are many many stories of the pranks and jokes that kitsune played
(22:19:57) S: just because you have made up your own fantasy about how they should be so you could fulfill your festish isent how they
(22:21:04) * Hikari Shade can only laugh. "I have studied kitsune and their lore for the last ten years. I think youve got things a little confused and suggest you read this book ---> http://www.scribd.com/doc/3870634/K.....Kiyoshi-Nozaki
(22:21:10) Hikari Shade: It should clear some things up for you
(22:21:40) S: why would i read your bullshit
(22:21:41) S: leave
(22:21:42) S: me
(22:21:44) S: ALONE
(22:21:53) Hikari Shade: Um, its not my bullshit
(22:21:59) S: LEAVE
(22:22:00) S: ME
(22:22:01) S: ALONE
(22:22:28) Hikari Shade: If you insist on deluding yourself in your selfserving ideals instead of expanding your knowlage, thats just fine
(22:22:36) S: LEAVE
(22:22:38) S: ME
(22:22:39) S: ALONE
(22:22:57) Hikari Shade: Inari, the God/goddess of the rice and harvest put Kitsune on this world to teach man through tricks and games. Hate to break your little bubble about it
(22:23:04) S: LEAVE ME ALONE
(22:23:07) Hikari Shade: Oh my, is a record broken? You seem to keep repeating yourself
(22:23:15) Hikari Shade: I wonder how much longer you will continue to parrot your own words
(22:23:19) Hikari Shade: it really is quite amuzing
(22:23:23) S: last warning before i report you to the furcadia admins
(22:23:43) Hikari Shade: Oh please do. I would love to talk to Emerald about your instanity
(22:23:49) Hikari Shade: insanity*
(22:23:56) Hikari Shade: She is liable to laugh at you as much as I am
(22:24:10) Hikari Shade: And btw, if you dont want someone to contact you, there is an ignore feature, thank you
(22:24:23) Hikari Shade: I have yet to to break any rules
(22:24:46) Hikari Shade: The fact you have been too blind to hit the little ignore button, or perhaps lacking the brain power to do so, is just simply even more amusing
(22:25:17) S: Don't ever speak to me again, I am using the Silence Rule.
(22:25:36) Hikari Shade: Silence rule? Oh please. Use the ignore button like your supposed to
(22:25:58) Hikari Shade: Im not breaking any rules until I try and get around the ignore feature
(22:26:01) Hikari Shade: it was put there for a reason
(22:26:24) Hikari Shade: Please, grow up and learn the rules of the ToS. I have, and your anger and ire is simply even more amusing to me then anything else I was doing tonight
(22:32:15) Hikari Shade: Kitsune are creatures of myth and magic. The Godess Inari was first introduced to Japan as the hindu god of harvest under a diffrent name. But the original name for Inari slowly turned into Inari, with Ri being the suffex to the word for rice. Kitsune do her bidding as devine messangers. Often they have been portrayed as mischivious, playful spirits, sometimes seductive lovers. Many stories revolve around a kitsune seducing a young man and then being exposed to their true identies. Even more are stories of people being possesed by fox spirits and being forced to serve as messangers or do acts beyond their control. If you REALLY want to learn about kitsune, I think you should buckle down and get the facts beyond your OWN perverted little fetishes of them being sex crazed foxes. There is far more to them beyond that, but hey, if you want to remain self delucted about your own little personal whore fox fantacies, go right on ahead and do so. Though I weep for your lack of ability to see beyond their own hormone fuled fantasies. =D (Offline message sent Feb 10, 12:32am FST)
(22:32:27) Started ignoring player 's'.


Now they will get my last post the moment they log in again, and I am just going to laugh and laugh...

And btw, Emerald refers to Emerald Flame. One of the real admins of Furcadia that I used to be very very close friends with way back in the day.

Prepare for hilarity to ensue!!

SO. I joined elfwood in the 90's, when it was like.. the ONLY place to post art. Anyone and everyone posted on Elfwood, and I was among them. (yeah, this was before even deviantart... be afraid). Back in the beginning it wasn't too bad, and I enjoyed the site. Then I was led to Deviantart and I moved there for a couple of years before finding my way here. At some point last year, I decided to try and upload some of my older works to Elfwood, to update it from the ancient stuff that was still posted there. For anyone who is not familiar with Elfwood, EVERYTHING that you post HAS to first be approved by a moderator. EVERYTHING is looked at by one of their staff and given the yay or nay.

Well EVERYTHING I posted was rejected because 1.) Furries for some reason beyond me, belonged in fan art apparently, though I didnt go into that too much. And 2.) Because I hadn't provided a translation for the word Kitsune. ... *cough* Yeah.. Anyway, I posted, in my profile, a bit of a rant pertaining to such, seen below.

Tonight just reminded me of why I stopped posting my art on Elfwood. Its such a god damned pain in the ass to get anything done with this stupid, outdated, and anal site. My ticket to have my art updated was rejected because one, I had to many submissions at once (I can kind of understand, but thats why I use Furaffinity now and it lets me upload all I want) but because I used the word KITSUNE in my descriptions without giving a 'translation' It mean FOX and if you looked at the website link given, the moderator who had sticks for brains would have figured that out. Not to mention that Kitsune is its own being, a mythical creature from japanese lore that cant be called just a 'fox'. And this isnt the first time Ive had issues with these morons. For gods sakes! Everyone here needs to go to Deviantart.com or Furaffinity.net!

That was at some point last year. And has been on my profile since then. Anyone noticed? No, Anyone cared? Not really.

Well out of morbid curiosity I decided to see if I could get my old stuff approved this time arround when I received an email from Elfwood saying they haddent seen me in a while, blah blah blah, and had new features, blah blah blah. I figured, 'Hey, might see if they stopped with the retard staff..."

Booooy was I wrong!

Mind you, I subbmitted my old stuff for review THREE weeks ago. (Isnt their responce time AMAZING?! =D ) This is the email I recived back

Everything is rejected, because your profile is bashing Elfwood and it's staff, which we will not tolerate. If you disagree with a decision from the moderators, then please contact us by replying back to the email you receive. When the problem with your profile is fixed, please contact us by replying back to this email and your pictures will be processed shortly there after. If the problem is not corrected by January 12, then we will be forced to contact the ERB about your account, which will result in your account being removed from Elfwood.

HAHA!! Hilarity ensues! Oh you better belive I will respond back to that... And my response is now posted on my Elfwood profile too! =D

SO! The stupidity continues! I figured I would try and get my stuff added, out of random morbid curiosity to see if the moderators got the sticks out of their asses, only to get one who went all 'waaahbulance' on the fact that I DARED to badmouth their precious site. Oh no!

Frankly, it just pushes me away more. I have been a member of this site for years. I have had an account since the 90's for gods sake (ignore what it says on my profile, I couldn't remember when I actually joined so I just put up the default). Frankly, the staff has gotten worse and worse. I have to wonder if ANYONE has EVER had a pleasant interaction with these nitwits.

SO! Since they are holding my submissions 'hostage' until I change my profile to stop badmouthing their site, and threatening me with a banhammer if I dont... I DONT CARE ANYMORE =D! They can kiss my fuzzy furry ass! Right here *points at bum* Go on! Cause I dont need your anal-retentive dictatorship anymore! If they cant handle anything but puppies and rainbows being said about their site, and cant take criticism at all, I dont care! Huzzah!


Oh and dont worry about banning me, Im removing all my art from here as well . Its all old and ancient anyway. But you wouldn't know that, would you Moderators, because you wont even approve my old stuff for viewing because of a silly moderator going 'waaah' instead of actually giving me a pleasant experience to change my mind about Elfwood, which would have made me change my profile to reflect it. =)

I think its the spectacular leaving of a site I have ever had! Normally I just kinda fade away. Never have I had to leave because of the stupidity of the supposed staff. It makes me kinda giggle madly with morbid joy... I am so damaged.. XD
