Gonna be getting a job in six months
Posted 9 years agoThat's what my coach says anyways. If that happens I might genuinely consider doing commissions.
Though then the problem would be who I would commission but that's getting ahead of myself.
My coach is named Christy, she has a brother with aspergers and can seem to read me better than I can read myself.
No more excuses, we're going to work on my resume, my applications, and then to top things off i'm going to learn how to follow-up on those applications (i've never done that before so that will be interesting.)

Dream journal again
Posted 9 years agoWell I had another dream of Quinus Axia (a monster from Future Card Buddyfight that hasn't been seen since season one) it....wasn't good per say but not bad either.
I think I lost him and was looking for him while at the same time reflecting upon my age....considering that dreams are partially based on the subconscious I'm wondering if subconsciously I consider him my friend...but that's silly he's a fictional character right?

Saw something disturbing a few days back
Posted 9 years agoNo not photoshop porn again, this was a genuine honest to god suicide note left in the short story entry area of FA with a hangman's noose for a picture.
I don't want it taken down because this person was under a lot of stress or something, dunno what was causing it, sad thing is I don't even remember who the person was, I looked into it and it reminded me of something.
I don't remember exactly who said this but it was said that it was hard to stay happy on FA. This was awhile ago. I think it had to do with too many drama llamas, depressed people and trolls. Seeing a suicide note just seems to confirm that.
Now I know this isn't true, I've been here ten years for that, but there are a few bad eggs with their own problems that with or without meaning to drag you into their depression.
Just remember your true friends, heck any friendly voice will do, there was such an outpouring of support on the submission's page that I simply didn't say anything. Also I forgot who the person was too, as embarrassing as that sounds.

Want to do this whole streaming thing with my games, except.
Posted 9 years agoI don't have the equipment. I think my friend ScavengerDragon said something about a streaming system you could get for cheap on Amazon but i'm so leery about spending extra cash, plus i'd essentially be streaming Smash bros. Wii U tourney mode the whole time and I can't be sure if that won't get insanely boring after three or four tourneys so yeah.
Playing the pokken tournament demo my thoughts...
Posted 9 years agoI SUUUUUUUCK at this.
I like using charizard but it has a few special moves which do damage to it, i'm overly aggressive and even though I can get the hang of simple combos and even some more advanced ones when it comes to any advanced ones forget it. I was really hoping i'd be at least semi-decent at this.
On the other claw the graphics are amazing! Leaps and bounds ahead of what I currently have. This game looks gorgeous!

My cell phone is malfunctioning (whiny alert!)
Posted 9 years agoOk so I just got a missed call notification on my cell phone, it was for YESTERDAY, and I didn't get it until just now.
Ok so my cell phone has gone in the shitter time to get a new one right? There's just one other little problem, I'm currently on a paylo plan on virgin mobile, I only pay $20 every 90 days, i'll repeat that $20 dollars ninety days. There hasn't been another plan that good.
Problem two the only phones that share that plan? Completely out of stock and they've been out of stock for months (mainly because everyone is switching to smart phones) so to get a new cell phone I'll have to switch to a new plan where i'll have to pay more money and more often for a phone I hardly ever use. It's not only a ripoff, it's stupid too, why even have the plan if you can't replace your phone with a different phone from the same plan?

Colds are no fun
Posted 9 years agoHad a cold for the past few days, made me sort of grouchy but i've been trying to catch myself. Not sure if I've come across as upset or whatever but I'm still not over this so that's why.
Getting that other journal out of the way
Posted 9 years agoI noticed I like things that are outside the norm, forget the boring cat and wolf taurs, give me a dinosaur taur (nothing human on it please) and give me four arms. Ooh and oral vore is ok but make the pred tiny and the prey huge! Naval vore is good, i've seen some paw absorption/vore as well.
I need to get back into having my dragonsona do wing vore too, waybe with a bubble dragon with wings. Muscle growth after vore is good too. Especially if a tiny character like veemon or axew is getting the muscles heh.

Site crashed and is trying to synch back up.
Posted 9 years agoIn the meantime three posts from yesterday I cannot view yet due to the aforementioned site crash, I'll have to wait on those (I can still view new posts perfectly fine). Just a tip, try a test run before transferring an entire server over, That way any mistakes can be addressed before they happen.
Troll posts on FA
Posted 9 years agoI think I have the misfortune on coming online when the trolls are about. Lately i've had my eyes raped by photoshopped human porn that isn't even labelled for adult content,that even though some people complain about it the admins never jump on quickly enough, if the forums were still around instead of Facebook and twitter we'd have a much faster response, as it stands the only way to do it is with slow as snail trouble tickets that are only resolved long after the troll has left.
Another good dream heh.
Posted 9 years agoThis dream was all from the first person perspective, if you haven't watched the monster rancher anime stop reading this now as it'll go right over your head.
I was a Hare lying in a makshift bed in a log cabin (appropriate for the setting the anime series took place in) the anime's hare walks in.
Hare: Hello stranger, how are you doing? Where are you from?
Me: I don't uuggh my head.
Hare: *Sympathetic smile* You smacked your head pretty hard against a brick wall. *picture shows me with my head cartoonishly embedded within the brick wall of some building* It took three guys to pull you out and you've been lying on the street ever since. *scene cuts back to the cabin as hare hands me what looks like mason jar full of tea* Here thirsty?
Me: *downs the tea with one swig. I have no trouble holding it despite my boxing glove hands*
Hare: Hey! Don't drink it so fast you'll choke! *vision pans back to him having that same pity smile from earlier*
Me: Thanks *hands jar back*
Hare: Sure, want some more? *rounds corner and is instantly confronted by tyger*
Tyger: What's your angle hare?!?
Hare: Excuse me? Is it so strange for me to be worried about a member of my own kind? *they immediately start fighting. holly comes in from the opposite side*
Holly: Oh not again! Ok you two break it up!
I woke up after that, would've made a good story.

2K online wins in smash
Posted 9 years agoPeople say Charizard is lousy at one-on-one fighting in smash. However I managed to get 2000 wins before hitting 1000 losses in for glory mode nearly strictly playing one-on-one. From here on out it's tourneys, for fun mode and spectate for me, (without the obstacles, items etc. smash gets boring anyways)
Trashing trolls on Smash.
Posted 10 years agoI get an odd sort of satisfaction every time I take down an obvious troll or jerk on smash, since Nintendo is so censored that the word suck in the wrong context gets you slapped with a warning I decided to put my recent two troll thrashings here.
These trolls were both in tourneys and were using the nickname option up at the top to be jerks. The first one when I ran into them in round one of the first tourney I entered had put 'U SUCK' under their nickname. Not only did I beat him, he played like he had no clue what he was doing and I won with both lives still intact no problem.
The second was much less vulgar but every bit as much of a troll (and yes this was a different guy which again I ran into in the first round. Really lousy luck there) he had put in 'UR UGLY' under the nickname area (how childish can you get?) not only did I win with both lives intact but I only took 37% damage.
Insanely satisfying because 1)beating a troll without taunting them right away well it just makes me a lot less of a hypocrite and 2)because they lost in the first round noone else had to be exposed to their trolling, in a way I took them out before they could upset anyone.

Whoops! Missed my 9 year anniversary lol! (no wait that's 10
Posted 10 years agoOk so i've been on FA for 9 years since Jan, 16th 2006 (or was that ten years, hang on it's ten OOPS!) So i've been on here for a decade and seen things come and go, so yeah not much else to say heh.
'the furry fandom might fap to this...'
Posted 10 years agoOk I'm an avid cartoon and anime watcher and video game player. I've had two instances thus far when cartoons or anime with general G ratings have produced something that got me thinking 'huh, the furry fandom might fap to that'.
The first time was when I was watching the anime fairy tail. After an in-universe seven year time-skip one of the characters who was an artist drew depictions of what the characters would look like in seven years. For those who don't watch the anime there are a trio of bipedal cat characters who follow around the mains a lot. The depiction of them put the two males normal heads on bodybuilder bodies wearing speedos while the lone female was slim, wearing a red tube-top dress and holding a wine glass (note that the heads weren't aged up at all)
The second time was watching the cartoon series 'littlest pet shop' in their latest episode 'Pump Up The Panda' the main character had made pet swimwear which she was showing off to the beach and a photographer for a website called 'whiskers and tails' (you heard me) took pictures but then doctored them to give the animals beach bodies and made them pose sensually. Another instance of me going 'huh the furry fandom might fap to that'

Shrank my faves (personal experience rant)
Posted 10 years agoBack awhile ago I talked about how I had over 110 pages worth of faves. After some serious checking and searching back and forth I took over 5 hours and removed a lot of faves. It was painful, it was hurtful, it was mostly faves of spencerdragon and samael and I felt like the biggest ass ever for getting rid of a lot of those faves but I shrank it.....to only 44 pages....there are still faves that need to be removed, things that I lost the taste for and so on and so forth but this was the biggest fave removal in my whole life and it took forever.
"But Rainbowdragon" You might ask "Can't you just use the 'manage favorites' feature?"
If only it were that simple, using that feature also removes the titles under the thumbnails so I have no clue what i'm removing which means I had to go to my front page, go to my faves, and visit each page and remove it manually. If it wasn't for that this wouldn't have taken so long and I did things the hard way but it was so satisfying, it was cleansing, it was letting go of thepast and so on and so forth and I loved every second of it and I wouldn't take it back period.

Just got back from the Peanuts movie
Posted 10 years agoI'll try not to spoil anything but with as many comics by Schulz as i've read i'm glad that the movie did enough research to keep the characters as close to the book as possible. Sadly due to all the crazy political correctedness these days there weren't any scriptures snuck into the movie.
Went to the funeral
Posted 10 years agoThe service was only about an hour but it seemed to drag on, I had a breakdown as soon as I saw my stepdad's casket and didn't stop crying throughout the entire service. I feel better now but I was upset for awhile, i'm also kind of tired. Typing this out on my wii U.
My stepdad died this morning.
Posted 10 years agoMy stepdad said he was going to call when he was going to pull the plug. It was about a week with no news and no news is good news as the saying goes. He was nearly 60 his legs were swollen up to the point where he couldn't move and to top everything off he had kidney failure so in short his body was essentially falling apart.
Fast forward to today where i'm playing smash and have made the finals (against Rosalina & Luma *sighs). I'm one life behind and am trying to catch up when my cellphone rings. Thinking that this is it I pick up my cellphone expecting to hear Don ( my stepdad) instead it was my Mom. She started by saying that Don was dead. I responded by asking why he didn't call if he was going to pull the plug? She said he wasn't going to do that until the end of the month but had suddenly gotten sick and died just this morning.
I'm upset because I was bragging to my friend about how when the call came I was going to go there to be with him so i'd be by his side when it was time for him to go. Instead I had to get the message about his death secondhand. Which also makes me feel like I failed him in some way.
I get that life isn't fair, that nothing ever goes as planned. I just wish it could've gone on schedule this time.

Best dream (dreams) ever
Posted 10 years agoAny time one of my dreams is good it sticks in my head. This one involved tf on multiple levels. Though granted the details are a bit foggy.
In the first tf one I was still in bed. Boring right? Not when you transform into a tubby lucario, a shiny charizard, and a machamp in that order. Also you were next to a window and had to make sure you changed back just in case someone saw you.
The second one was much more involved. In this case a bird was trying to recruit my help. In so doing it turned me into a triceratops AND I had to carry two people around as I collected three coins (like in one of those iphone games) at one point I changed back into a human and the bird told me I had to distract myself to go back to dinosaur. This was achieved by looking through a picture book. Did I mention the transformations happened slowly and I could somewhat feel them? *sighs* I wish all my dreams could be like that.

Just got a phone call from my stepdad
Posted 10 years agoMy stepdad called, he told me he was in hospice and asked me if I knew what that meant. I told him that I didn't have a clue. He told me essentially he's dying and he's pulling the plug on everything that's been keeping him alive thus far. I never had to deal with anything like this and it surprised me that he considered me so important that he'd tell me about this. Anyways I have no idea what to do so i'm just going to let things run it's course.
A bit of my likes and dislikes for the heck of it.
Posted 10 years agoHonestly I see some people do this in their journals at least once, thankfully i'm just going to list things under three categories: Like, don't hate but find incredibly dull, and don't like.
Like: Soft vore (especially in sequences and when the pred is smaller than the prey), muscle growth (has to be done on an otherwise small character otherwise it's just boring to me), any kind of reptilian tf (or inanimate but no blow up dolls or condoms...boring and overused). Regarding the above if it's in comic sequence it's great but single pics work too.Toony shenanigans like squishing, reshaping etc. etc. The more unusual or unused the better. Alternate kinds of vore (there's pec vore which i've only seen done a time or two, there's also paw vore/absorption which I love). Taurs (especially taurs that aren't used often like stitch or toothless). Food tf or nonlethal cooking (it actually is more used honestly same with reptile tfs but I like them....personal preference and all that).
Don't hate but find incredibly dull: Canines and felines (overused to the point of being boring ho hum another fox tf), snake vore (likewise), inflation and fat (meh it's typically the end result of digestion when it comes to fat furs but it's pretty common), tg (especially male to female, way overused try the other way around and it gets a pass from me), Paws (though paw tf on the other hand I don't mind in fact I love it).
Thinks that I definitely don't like: scat (ew), musk/ stench (I don't even like my own sweat why would I like another furs ick), bullying (seriousy I had to deal with these guys in school constantly and they were all jerks which I wished would just keel over and die. Why are you glorifying such behavior?), cynical takes on just about everything (not so much hate as pity, it's just too depressing and I get enough of that from the news thank you very much), insect tfs (might be due to my childhood, had a nasty infection due to mosquitos not leaving me alone), hard vore (I get that it's the normal way preds do things but OUCH too much blood and gore for my taste).

Testing out dlc in smash.
Posted 10 years agoWell I got some eshop cred from participating in a smash tourney, I used this to finally get mewtwo, roy and lucas on my smash game (I bought a costume bundle with mewtwo in it, only afterwards did I realize I could've bought the fighter bundle ugh) anyways since I had mewtwo I participated in a regular tourney, won it without any problems (surprisingly the only fighter that gave mewtwo trouble was a charizard user, everyone else I simply used tilts, smashes, shadow balls, and in one case disable to steamroll through the competition) not bad for a first time user.
More self-reflection aka why I love spencerdragon's work.
Posted 10 years agoI've been at it again removing faves to get out of the 147 page slog. I've been removing faves from several different artists from way back when. However, when I got near the back (around page 75 or so) I kinda stopped removing them, in short because it was full of nothing but art by the legendary spencerdragon. It was he who got me into FA and it's vore (especially his kind with smaller preds, larger preys, and bigger belly bulges) that I love and adore and still do. To put it simply I love bulgy bellies and same-size vore. I really wish I could talk to Spencer again but he and Dracodarasterix appear to have vanished (draco's been gone for 3 years, people are worried about him).
Anyways that's my two cents.
Anyways that's my two cents.
Smash bros. issue and question
Posted 10 years agoAs soon as the tourneys have come out for smash bros. I've been playing them, (I've been mentioning this before), lately i've run into this problem where after i've won a match the tourney would never progress no matter how long I wait. I can quit out and all that but the tourney never progresses. If I quit out it counts as a forfeit and I can't compete in another online match for ten minutes (which is seriously unfair as the tourney screen appears to have stuck). Has anyone else had this problem?
