Remembrance Sunday
Posted 15 years agoToday we take two minutes to remember all those who fought for their country; our freedom is paid for by their blood.
And may there be a special place in Hell for those who deface our war memorials.

More ranting.
Posted 15 years agoA question that gets asked of macrophiles a lot often goes like this: 'if you could experience what your character experiences as a big stompy macro demolishing a city, would you do it in real life?' It's a cliché, I know, but I thought I might as well add my own thoughts into it.
My answer would be 'no'. Plain and simple, just 'no'. Though there are a multitude of reasons.
Don't get me wrong, I've had Rattle do some pretty violent things; a quick look through my gallery here or more than ten minutes with me discussing my personal preferences would prove that. Yes, I do like big stompy yiffy rampages, I like them a lot. But that still does not mean I would do that if I happened to turn into 4 miles of horny wolf in the real world. See, I happen to be able to separate fantasy from reality. When Rattle steps on a city block it's just fantasy, no one really gets hurt and sometimes just to ease my conscience I assume the city's been evacuated anyway. The same situation in reality would just be deplorable, I'm talking about the deaths of hundreds. I'd like to think in that situation I would not lose my sense of ethics.
Then there's the classic 'ants' argument; if you're not concerned about the ethical implications of stepping on ants as you walk down the street why should a macro worry about stepping on people? I really can't believe I have to spell this out to some, but people are not ants.
Another twist on this question is 'would I want to be a big macro wolf in the real world in the first place?' Again the answer would be no, it's pretty much the same question as 'would you like to be your fursona in the real world?' On the internet, across FurAffinity, BigFurs, SizeBooru and many other sites we have crafted a fantasy for ourselves; an escape from the general crappiness of real life where we can lose ourselves in this fantasy and explore parts of ourselves that we cannot do so in 'normal' society. If this becomes reality, well, it's going to suck hard isn't it? The novelty will wear off and it'll become just mundane as, well, reality.
Anyway, that's my opinion for what it's worth. Just felt like ranting again, which is pretty much what these journals are for, right? Right?

The Controversial Survey Meme!
Posted 15 years agoYay, controversy! Borrowed from 
chapdav
Yes I know I do a lot of memes now but I'm bored and don't have anything more constructive to do right now.
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey
Sure, why not?
[02] Would you do Meth if it was legalized?
Uh... no, if I'm going to die I'm going to make sure it's either dignified or awesome (like saving orphans from a burning orphanage whilst riding a dragon fighting Nazis. and Sabaton will be playing in the background); and not from some bloody drug overdose.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
It's up to the individual woman, I personally believe it must only ever be a last resort and not used as an alternative to more conventional birth control.
[04] Do you think a country would fail with a female president?
Eh, my country went pretty well with a female prime minister, so I doubt the US would have trouble with a female president.
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
No, I don't think the state should lower itself to murder, I believe life imprisonment is a much more suitable punishment. In the case of terrorists and such it'll just make them martyrs.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Nope, there are loads of psychological side effects to marijuana, it might not be as deadly as tobacco but that's still not a good enough reason to legalise it.
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF. I mean 'for'.
[08] Do you believe in God?
Yes I do, I consider myself a Christian though I don't really belong to a denomination and instead to prefer on my own beliefs rather than what some guy in a black dress in a church tells me.
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Can't really see an objection to it.
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Er, kind of hard for me to answer this, isn't it? But hey, it's America's fault for portraying itself as the best place to live in the world, right? Land of the free and home of the brave (yes I'm aware of what day it is)
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
Nope, she will not be able to care for the kid well enough.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
Well, over here it is 18 and I don't think there's more of a drinking problem here than over in the US.
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
We shouldn't have gone there in the first place, with Afghanistan there was a definite link between the Taliban and Al Qaeda so that was justified. Iraq was not, in fact Al Qaeda despised Saddam. But the fact is we're there now, and we're going to finish the job. These colours don't run.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Erk, I don't think I can really make that sort of decision for someone else.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
It's entirely up to the parents to decide how to raise their kids, I would yes, but there has to be a definite line between discipline and abuse.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Probably not, I know how those crazy yanks seem to have an almost religious view of their brightly coloured pieces of cloth. Though I do know that burning is the ideal way of disposing of a flag that's too tattered, so yeah I guess I would then.
[17] Who do you think would have made a better president? McCain or Obama?
Eh, since Obama's been blaming Britain for the oil disaster and seems to portray us as a nation of moustache-twirling villains out of Captain Planet who just want to be evil for the sake of it I've started to go off him, then again I think he's the lesser of the two evils.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Meh, it's the Internet, I doubt most people will care.

RP-ing
Posted 15 years agoSomething I borrowed from 
midnightwolfsune It's pretty much a guide to RP-ing with me, so here goes. I don't want to sound too uptight about it or anything, I just like to set down a couple of guidelines to avoid any trouble.
1) Please, ask first. I cannot stress this enough, it is incredibly irritating whenever someone suddenly sends me a PM or a message that launches straight into one. It's stuff like '____ stares up at the mighty wuff-god' or '____ grabs the tiny wuffy and stuffs him down his/her/hir pants'. I do make exceptions to this for my close friends sometimes, but if I don't know you or we haven't done much together I find it very presumptuous and will often put me off RP-ing with you.
Which brings me to my second point.
2) I am not always in the mood or available to RP. I do have a life outside macrophilia and I'm often doing something else; watching TV, searching for a job, chatting/RP-ing with someone else, playing a video game etc. Or sometimes I just don't feel like doing it; I have to be in a certain mood to RP properly, and if I'm not in it I'm afraid you'd just get short shallow replies and it wouldn't be fair on the both of us. So to reiterate the first point, to avoid any embarrassment or drama please ask first.
3) This one is more of my 'do not want' list. While I am fairly broad-minded in what I'm happy with there are a few things I will not do under any circumstances at all: under-age characters (in a sexual context), scat, and watersports. If you try to bring these things into the RP you can consider it over, if it's an honest mistake it's okay we can move on after we've cleared that up.
4) I'm rather squeamish. Yes, I know I'm a macrophile and crushing/stomping is all part of the deal but I absolutely cannot deal with excessive blood and gore. A little is fine, but when it goes into slasher movie territory I'll have to stop before I end up fainting on my keyboard.
5) I don't do 'serious' RPs much. I hate to sound shallow but I'm not too good at having a well developed three-dimensional character and pretending to be him, and in the case of macrophilia I'm not good at coming up with a good excuse as to why he'd want to smash and yiff everything in sight (mainly because I cannot think of any ethical justification for it). I mainly just want to have some fun. Remember that? Remember when role-playing was a nice fun activity between friends and not 'serious business'? The thing is Rattlehead is pretty much whatever I want him to be at any given situation; he can be a stompy macro, a nymphomaniac mega macro, a submissive micro etc. He's whatever I want him to be. The point is let's just have some fun without worrying too much about rules and stuff.
6) No 'god' characters. I can't see the attraction of them, I know a macro might get delusions of godhood but do not expect Rattle to bow down to them. I'm a fairly religious person and consequently so is Rattle so the idea becomes a little uncomfortable for me. The same applies to those characters who are 'gods' with appropriate powers, I don't mind characters with super powers and such, but not when they start proclaiming their apparent godhood.
7) I prefer making friends than just RP partners, I want to be able to have a pleasant conversation rather than just give someone material to fap to. So once it's over we could have a nice chat about anything, or we could do that before RP-ing. I'm more likely to say 'yes' if I know we have things in common or we're able to hold a good conversation.
I hope that clears things up, if there's any questions put them in the comments.

Look, I'm all for freedom of expression and such but is it really necessary to go out of your way to deliberately offend the second largest religion in the world? It's not big, its certainly not clever, and it's immature. I know I'm probably going to get a crapload of comments telling me to grow a sense of humour, but I don't care. There's freedom of expression and there's just being a dick for the sake of being a dick. And yes I'd still have written this journal if it were Draw Jesus Day or Draw Guru Nanak Dev Day. Yes the Muslim reaction pretty much any negative criticism is often disproportionate and overblown but this is not helping in anyway, basically it's trolling a large group of people for the acts of a minority within that group; does that sound familiar at all, furries?
In short, do what you like, draw him if you want. I just wanted to rant a little bit; this journal is going to do bugger all really.

Random Ranting
Posted 15 years agoAlrighty, going back to university on Sunday to start the exam season and I'm praying my connection there will be relatively stable. Virgin Media Broadband is a bitch; slow at the best of times and horrendously slow and laggy at the worst and I've heard it's gotten worse over the last month or so (if anyone's got any details about that I'd be grateful). Fortunately I only have four exams spread over three weeks so hopefully it won't be too bad, and I'll be reasonably happy so long as my connection is stable enough for me to access the BigFurs IRC, various IMs and possibly FA. I guess we should switch to a more stable ISP but I don't know the first thing about doing that, and I've got to talk to my landlord about that anyway since he pays for it technically (we pay him and then he pays Virgin).
Oh and then there's the election, a hung parliament just as they predicted meaning either a Tory minority government or a coalition between the Liberal Democrats and either the Conservatives or Labour. It's probably not as bad as all the doom-mongerers are saying but hopefully the country will pull through.

Election
Posted 15 years agoWell, it's time for Britain to choose its next government, are we going to have to put up with four or five more years of incompetant Brown, or a posh upper class twit, or another posh upper class twit pretending to be an everyman?
As always it's going to be the lesser of three evils.
So, anyone got any thoughts at all about this? Do any of you care?

New tablet
Posted 15 years agoWell, I've just ordered a Bamboo Pen tablet for £50 from Amazon, thanks to their free trial of next day delivery I should get it tomorrow. So expect imminent arts.
Hi
Posted 15 years agoJust wanted to get the last journal off the front page, so hi.
Okay, another rant
Posted 15 years agoSo, the government have very quietly passed a law banning explicit cartoon art of minors, allowing the prosecution of people who create such art, host it on their servers, and access it. While normally I wouldn’t care, there are fears that it would affect you, me, and Fur Affinity. See, Fur Affinity allows baby fur yiff, and baby fur yiff can be considered ‘explicit cartoon art of minors’. Now my own thoughts about baby fur are irrelevant, I don’t care what people masturbate to in the privacy of their own homes as long as it doesn’t directly harm anyone else. While we might find it reprehensible, ultimately it is harmless. It is absurd that the government appears to defend children that do not actually exist, and is further symptomatic of its obsession with punishing the innocent while letting the guilty go free. Banning the art will not make paedophilia go away and it will certainly not stop children being molested and abused in the real world. This bill makes ordinary UK Furs such as me criminals under the law for accessing Fur Affinity, even if we do not venture into the baby fur sections.
But unlike many other Britfurs, I am not leaving; to me Fur Affinity is not just a place to stick art on and engage in pointless drama, it is the symbol of furriness itself. I will only leave if it has been clarified that me accessing the website is illegal, but even then I will not go quietly.

Isn't it annoying...
Posted 16 years ago...that when you open a packet of crisps and every time it's only filled halfway up with crisps rather than being filled all the way with crisps?
Merry Christmas

Another infernal meme.
Posted 16 years agoCurse you 
Veratis, one day I'll find a meme so horrendous that it shall be an affront to God himself and then I WILL TAG YOU!
Until then enjoy this one.
1) Post these rules
2) Post 8 true things about yourself
3) At the end you must tag 8 people and post their icons
4) Go to their page and send them a message saying you tagged them No, get stuffed. If anyone wants to do this meme they're welcome to it of their own free will
5) NO TAG-BACKS
1) I like some music that isn't metal
2) I still play with toy soldiers (it's called Warhammer 40k dammit and it's an adult hobby!)
3) I may or may not be losing interest in human women (i.e. ones that exist in this strange land we call 'real life')
4) I watch reality TV programs like 'How Clean Is Your House?' and 'Supernanny' as they give me a sense of superiority; no matter how bad my life may be it can't be as worse as those I see on TV
5) I'm scared of dying
6) I fainted watching 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' in the cinema
7) A lot of things really annoy me
8) My childhood dream is to fly a Supermarine Spitfire.
There, are you happy? Evidently I ran out of imagination halfway through.

Essays Part Four
Posted 16 years agoGood news is this will be the last one for this term, I'll still be working on chapdav 's commission, just at a much slower rate. So I'll be rather busy, I'll still be able to chat and *maybe* RP depending how bad my work load is. Also, I've got shingles (a large rash and swollen lymph nodes), it seems fine so far but I should be in unbearable pain when the rash turns to blisters and then burst and scab over in a few more days, so bare with me.

Also, I've got shingles (a large rash and swollen lymph nodes), it seems fine so far but I should be in unbearable pain when the rash turns to blisters and then burst and scab over in a few more days, so bare with me.Meme, again.

Commissions?
Posted 16 years agoSo, I've been considering opening up fully for art or story commissions, chapdav has commissioned me to write a story and, while this is primarily a one-off thing, I've been considering going into it full time once I get my university work done. I'd just like to know if there's any interest in this at all.
