My god....(Mostly an anti-pro-life rant)
3 min read
I'm really astonished on how many people on this ART site, supposedly a cornucopia of liberal thinking and open-mindedness, are swayed by such pathetic arguments. You show them a single bloody fetus picture or a cute kitty cat and they're suddenly up in arms. Sure, abortion won't stop even if it were made illegal and in fact would kill far more people than it would "save". So what if humans are naturally omnivorous and to go vegan is a personal lifestyle choice and not a fact of nature? Who cares about those stupid details when you're staring at an adorable baby chicken with "Don't eat me please" plastered all over it? Or a bloody, vaguely-humanish figure in a jar saying "I COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR BABY!!!!1"?
Christ, you people are stupid. There's two sides to every story, and turning away from the opposing viewpoint, sticking your head into a sea of two-dimensional bullshit is just plain ignorant. Truth be told, I have never heard a good reason to be pro-life, nor have I ever found a good reason to convert to veganism. So stop cramming these stupid "heartbreaking" pictures in my face.
You know what's really heartbreaking, pro-lifers? The unwed teenage mothers you refused to inform about birth control. The children starving in this very country because you refuse to support welfare, childcare programs, and Head Start. The countless women who died while cramming coat hangers into themselves of swallowing lye because of your constant pressure, constant ravings of murder, sin, and death. Children brought into the world by unwilling mothers, a testament, not to love, but to punishment. After all, it was "her choice to have sex in the first place". Of course. We all know women choose to get raped. The children become a reminder of trauma in those cases, and is often neglected or flat-out abused. Or perhaps adoption, where, after 9 months of crying, bloating, puking, depression, awkwardness, and pain, you fling the result into the wide-open world, never to see it again. Never to know if it found a loving home, or more likely, gets shuffled from foster home to foster home, wondering where its place in the world is, that is, if it's lucky enough not to fall into the hands of the abusive.
See? THAT'S heartbreaking. And I didn't even need any pictures. Yay me.

POKEMON GETTO DA ZE!
2 min read
Guess who got Pokemon Diamond for her birthday!
ME!
It's awesome and beautiful. And it reminded me of my fake pokemons that I really need to draw. Some ideas I had were
(DO NOT STEAL!):
A paper plane normal/flying bird that evolves into a normal/flying paper crane. It's like the generic bird of whatever the hell my new region is called. I really like their designs, but they're so damn hard to draw! >_<
An electric/flying reindeer with jagged antlers and light-up, jingly cords for tails. It's the "navigation" pokemon, and has long been used for pulling sleighs. LAWL. I always thought it was pretty ridiculous in the anime where Rapidash would be pulling Santa's sleigh, and I wish they would have done something like this before I did.
Then there's my Australian Shepherd Normal/Psychic pokemon, based off my wonderful doggy, Magic. It's extremely intelligent and a favorite among young trainers because of its quick learning capacity.
Then there's my two more controversial creations. Uphie, my grass/psychic type, and Mydria, a pure psychic. They're part of the "legendary trio" even though they're not legendary, just very, very rare, and not really a trio yet. I still need a third one. Anyway, both give off special brainwaves that ward off attackers. Uphie's are much milder, simply making the enemy peaceful and unwilling to attack. Mydria sends off a constant wave of 22.5 frequency subsonic sound, fainting most pokemon and causing severe mental distortions to any human who wanders too close. Needless to say, neither of them can be caught easily. I like realism, and I believe that some pokemon, even some official ones, would be a lot harder to actually aquire than just a simple toss of a pokeball. These two are my answer to that problem.
BTW, it would be impossible for me to describe Mydria's appearance. You'll just have to wait for a picture. As for Uphie....if you haven't figured it out by now, why should I tell you?

Childhood religion..Harmless?
3 min read
Mr. Dawkins's book has opened my eyes to something I find absolutely disgusting....
Parents telling their kids what religion to believe in.
Now, these days, and for so long, it's just been taken for granted. No one cares if a doting mother carts her children off to Vacation Bible School or brings the along to a sermon or anything like that. But it's actually, in a way, a form of abuse. By doing this, they're not telling a child how to think logically, but telling them [i]what[/i] to believe, and that if they deviate from this belief, they face eternal punishment. They also have to follow all the rules of this belief, and that someone is watching their every movement all the time. If they break the rules of this great invisible man, they'll face the punishment. All this pressure before their minds have even developed properly, before they can even begin to comprehend the very idea of God. Not only this, but this indoctrination at such a young age makes their minds closed to any opposing viewpoints. If their mommy or daddy tells them that black people are evil or gays deserve to be shot because God tells them to, guess what? The child is going to parrot those opinions, because not only were they not taught to make their own decisions in life, they have to obey because the great invisible watcher will punish them if they don't. So not only is this ignorance allowed, it's incouraged. And guess what? [b]I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT ISLAM[/b] As a matter of fact, I'm talking to everyone. Jews, Muslims, and especially CHRISTIANS! And no, I count Catholics as being the same thing as Christians. I mean, really, what's the difference between those stupid subgroupings anyway? They just cause for fighting, and more children to be indoctronated into hating each other. For the glove of God, you'd think we'd have grown out of it by now! Oh, wait, we can't! Because parents are still making their kids into good little mindless drones.
[b]Remember, people, there is no such thing as a Christian child, a Jewish child, or a Muslim child. Let kids make their own decisions about religion![/b]
PS: You'll notice that I said nothing about Buddhism. That's because Buddhism is completely different from the three desert religions. It's more of a philosophy with some practices and spirituality thrown in, and honestly, I find it extremely hard to believe a child could be forced into Buddhism without breaking the rules. Plus, Buddhism has no god.
PPS: This may become a full-blown official rant. Depends on what I feel like later.

Yeah, I'm sick, and it really sucks. Haven't been able to sleep for a few days because I can't breathe through my nose..>_O
Well, I see my new aproach to things sure has netted me a bit of popularity. I didn't know people would react to my weird little rants like that, but I suppose it's a good thing that a lot of people like it. I plan on doing a few more in the future, and my next topic may be about teen pregnancy, because of all the freaking pregnant girls I see at my school. It's so damn foolish and stu.....Wait...gotta save it for the rant...^_^; Also, it's nice to still be able to contribute to the DA community, since I have no forms of actual art media. I've drawn a lot of pics since I uploaded my last drawing, but my scanner just quit on me, and that really sucks...
Well, I'm done typing today. Time to search for obscure animefications again! Vwee hee hee!

CONTEST TIME!
4 min read
I have been toying wth the dea of starting up a contest! The idea/
MAKE YOUR OWN POKEMON!
Now, it's just an idea, so NO SENDING ME PICTURES UNTIL I START, OK?
(I wasn't yelling. When I use caps here, I'm just making sure people will read it and not just pass over it)
Here's some ground rules:
1. The work must be your own. If I find out you've copied someone else's work, you will be disqualified.
2. Obviously the idea is to draw your own pokemon. Now by your own pokemon, I mean YOUR OWN POKEMON. That means ABSOLUTELY NO EEVEELUTIONS, ALTERNATE PIKACHUS, OR ALTERNATE MEWS OR MEW CLONES. You can make an evolution of any other pokemon, but be aware that it will be judged more harshly. Unless it's really, really good, it probably won't win. You are free to draw Pokegod or legendary pokemon concepts, but the evolution rule still applies.
3. You must include the pokemon's name, type, rarity, and, if it has one, evolution line. Since I know almost nothing about stats, a stat sheet is not necessary. If it makes you feel better, go ahead and submit one, but be aware that it won't count towards your score.
4. This contest has a very liberal rating, so if your pokemon idea is violent, sexual, drug-related or edgy in any other way, it will be accepted. HOWEVER, TASTELESS OR JUST PLAIN STUPID IDEAS WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOSE, so don't come up to me saying "O l00k I m4d3 Sh1tachu!!1 LOLWTFBBQ!!!!111"
5. ALL MEDIA WILL BE ACCEPTED. I don't care if you sculpt the damn thing out of pickled ham. So long as I can tell what it is. If you don't feel you can draw it, feel free to submit a description in writing, but make sure I can tell what it looks like, or else you'll have no chance of winning.
6. YOU ARE ALLOWED THREE ENTRIES. If your pokemon has an evolution line, include them all within one fanart, or it will count against your limit. You can also enter fanart of any age. If you drew the thing in first grade, but still think it's good, go ahead and submit it.
7. You can enter the contest by sending me a PM asking me to look at your picture. I will look it over and let you know if it's eligible as soon as possible. Don't worry about me leaving you. I check DevArt at least once a day.
8. My judging system will be simple. The more original and clever your pokemon idea is, the better chance you'll have at winning. My advice is to try things that not a lot of people have tried before. A good start is to look at more obscure mythology or animals (like a golden ram or a water/poison platypus)
9. Since for now this is simply an idea, there's no deadline yet. However, I'll come up with one when I feel ready to open this contest.
10. Prizes will be awarded to the top three entries. The prize...well, I admit it's not much, since my scanner doesn't like me, but the prize will be a custom sprite of your pokemon design. I'm sorry, but I don't have the tools for animating it, either. I didn't think it fair to have a contest without a prize, and that's all I can do for now.
So....Someday this will open, but for now...here it shall stay...
