Fun fact time: many of my old acquaintances still make joking comments whenever they see me wearing pink, because as a child (and honestly pretty much right up to high school) I would refuse to associate with any pink objects. 

It wasn’t because I didn’t like pink, it was because since I appeared female I was supposed to/ it was immediately assumed that I did and therefore it pissed me the ever-loving fuck off. I was ashamed to like it, which is terrible because pink is an awesome color. But when you shove it down young girls throats it gets really old, really fast. 

Give the child the fucking rainbow, and if they pick pink, it’s not because they are female and/or effeminate, it’s because they like the color pink. 

THIS.

Gosh this

This is the main reason I convinced my grandparents and all extended family not to buy me pink things. In my six year old mind if they bought me pink things they weren’t trying very hard so by hating pink it forced them to look for other things. Terrible, I know, but it’s true. 

Yes! This! While I still do not like pink or purple, I do this this is an important note. I just remember getting into an arguement with an older girl… I think I was about 16 and she was in her 20’s, where I had told her I didn’t like pink and probably never will. The older girl told me that when she was in highschool, she felt the exact same way, and then grew up to like it more. And that was fine that she liked it, but I told her I wouldn’t, and immediately she became defensive about it and said “yes you will!” like it was a given that I’d grow up to be just like her. It was weird. She was always pushing it on me, especially because I have green eyes and “pink makeup would bring out my eyes”. I remember being so damn angry about it. I don’t know why I felt the need to share this story… but like, everyone’s different and that’s a-okay! Things like this do NOT need to be shoved down our throats.

Some guy found my DA and sent me a note telling me about how he wanted to work with me on some game prototype, he tells me to email him. So I did and asked him for more specific information about what he wants and what the project is. He does not, but emails me back asking me to add him on Skype. I do.

First thing he does, is call me a guy. Okay, so he didn’t look at my DA too closely. I ask him about the project and what he’s looking for. Second thing he does is send me a link to the wiki definition of “Partnership” and how this is not a commission. I tell him I haven’t had any good experience with being in a ‘partnership’ and all they lead to for me is a waste of time. This guy is persistant and tells me to list off my skills so he can refer me to a company. Where did that come from? I have no idea. I ask him again about the specifics… no go, he tries to send me a file that’s his prototype game. I have no idea what’s going on. Do you? No.

After a while of him telling me he’s already filled me in for a position… how can he do that without any of my information? I don’t know. And I tell him I’m not interested several times. Finally he asks me to tell him what I do, what my skills and such are for the last time, because he never actually looked at my DA to see what I do… weird. And that he “sends notes to hundreds of DA accounts” (This conversation went on for well over an hour). Essentially I give him a tl;dr version of my resume and then a link to my artblog. In which he responds:

“I’ve been working this company for 13 years, and I don’t think you want my honest opinion but, looking at your tublr nothing stands out, nothing is original. You’d be lucky if you could get a small iOS design gig. Sorry.”

Hah…. I’m not sorry. It’s no skin off my back, buddy.

A bit of a blow to the ego though.

That was my night of “I didn’t get my daily comic done”.

Just bought a box of chocolate covered almonds from a little girl going door to door for $4…. there’s only like 20 almonds. I feel good about helping, but on the other hand I was so excited for almonds.

‘Cause people may actually like me! D:

Would anyone show up if I livestreamed? I’m really bored and lonely right now, my girlfriend is in London and I want to chat it up and doodle~

Friggin’ tumblr. I keep posting to the wrong blog. This layout! UGH! Also it’s not remembering my tags.

Edit: Wow this was my 3000th post.

Hm, I’ve been thinking about altering my style a bit. I know styles change with time, but I mean like… I want to tweak it a bit conciously. It takes me way too long to draw and ink something, and I feel like I’ve lost a lot of my cartoonyness, and I’m putting way too much detail into things.

Anyone got any pointers? Anything at all?

You icon always makes me think you look like Jack White youtube.com/watch?v=S2oN2We8IfM

Ah, I really hate to disappoint, but I really don’t (I think it’s just the hat). Also I’ve been meaning to change my icon.

This is actually what I look like (in an attempt to look like my icon).

I got the update duudes. I’ma see what it’s like. So far I’m not down with how I select my tags. But it’s only been like two minutes. Sometimes it crosses it out? What does that even mean? I don’t know?

Also I can still reblog myself, even with missing E disabled. AH!! I see. The crossed out tags is only when my mouse is hovering over them. Whoops. Hmm.

I told my Dad that I have a girlfriend. And now I kind of want to tell you, tumblr… since I won’t be able to make it facebook official still. Man, that was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. But he took it better than expected, and he told me even though he doesn’t agree with it, he won’t stop me from it and he’ll still love me. Now it’s just my stepmum I’m worried about. But yes, bam, I got that off my chest.

So yes, I have a wonderful girlfriend who I care for so much, and I haven’t been this happy in a loooong time!

“I don’t care what anyone says, Skyrim is one of the best games I’ve ever played in my life. From the huge open world, to how archery works. But the best, is how my character isn’t restricted for clothing. How she doesn’t have to be forced to wear something overly feminine. She can wear pants! And not show off skin! It’s amazing!”

Not queue-ing this ‘cause I want to type up a little more about it since this is actually MY confession. I also just feel like ranting.

All my life I’ve been told to be more girly, that I wasn’t feminine enough, that I should wear skirts and dresses and cute things. I never wanted to. I still don’t want to. People told me while I was growing up that I’d change my mind, that when I’m an adult pink will end up being my favourite colour. I’m an adult now, and it most definately isn’t.

It was mostly my mum who would try to force me to be girl, and as much as I love her with all my being… it was wrong of her. My mum was an extremely feminine woman, who had also been a model, so she did have quite the lot of clothing… and a love for it. Anywho, she always wanted a little girl so she could dress her up and make her look all pretty in dresses and do her hair. I was not that little girl. But still, I was only little and had to endure it. I did go through a phase where I kept calling myself a boy though, and made sure I always had short hair. So I grew up not as feminine as my mum hoped, and I was constantly judged and poked at for not being a ‘real girl’. It was horrible.

So there is a meaning to all this, I promise… though I doubt anyone’s really reading it. Growing up like how I did, I NEVER ever related to video game characters, despite how much I played them. You can ask my brother, I would always one hundred percent create a boy character in games, you know why? ‘Cause I didn’t want my characters to be wearing a dress or skirt. I wanted them to be me, and I wanted my characters to wear what I’d wear. I’m not saying every girl needs to wear pants, I’m saying I grew up wanting the option. And why shouldn’t guys be able to wear skirts? Same thing. So I never was able to relate to video games as well as I wanted to, because I was always a boy, not me. I’ve played maybe around a hundred different MMOs even… and never got passed level 20 because I couldn’t emerse myself in it properly. Then I played Skyrim the month it was released and everything changed. Man, I have never put so much time into a video game before. It’s kind of ridiculous. I can be a strong female archer who can cover up and wear whatever the fuck she wants. I’ve never felt so accepted in a game before. And thus, I think there needs to be more games like Skyrim out there, and if I’ve missed them… please let me know what they are!

Rant over.

And whatever else you may celebrate. Aweyeah!

So I’m gonna TRY and do that December Pokemon Challenge thinger. But I’ll be posting the 31 doodles at the END of the month, because this month is gonna be so hecktic, so I’ll just doodle them in my book, then scan them at the end and post. I actually did the first one yesterday! Wow I’m amazed! So yeah… also I need to submit more art…

ALSO I got a 3DS as a super belated birthday present from KITTYKISA! So if you want to add me go for it! 1091-7525-5703 just let me know who you are, I guess?

It’s funny, when people don’t want critism, they get nothing but. But when I want it, no one gives it.
