Since this is art related I'll rant here.
Because of the Steven Universe shit on Tumblr and now people being offended by how you may draw your own character (which was seen on here), I need to jump in here and give my angry thoughts.
DRAW WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT. Doesn't matter if it offends someone else. YOU CAN DRAW IT. Of course you can't post certain things to specific sites because of rules, BUT BESIDES THAT DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
People are trying to police on what illnesses you can give to your characters or how you represent your character. Some people are even saying "if you don't have that illness you can't have your character with that illness."
BULL. SHIT. That is taking it TOO far. INSTEAD, you should encourage people to RESEARCH the said illness so they are getting it right. But even if the artist doesn't want to, it's their right.
It's just so frustrating to see people telling others what they can and can't draw. I'd draw protest art if I could handle a bunch of people attacking me. Instead, I'll just keep working on my own characters with whatever faults they may have. I am someone who likes to stay realistic, so I do do my research on various things, so maybe that's why I haven't been targeted by these people, but it's still pissing me off. :C
If something offends you because of how someone portrays their own character, just move on.
People find stereotypes offensive as well. Sorry, but I'll draw stereotypes. Why? Because I LIKE them, and they are "stereotypes" for a reason.
So go out there and draw what you want. Don't stop drawing just because people are saying they are offended by what you have created.
May go away until DA fixes things
This site has continually made me annoyed for ~4 months now. I've gotten to the point where I don't feel the want to post here anymore unless they change/fix certain things. Activity on its own has gone way down, and I had wanted to post more and more to be more active... but the last journal post just brought me back to frustration. Other sites that have changed or even when DA made their big change before the Eclipse one) I got used to pretty quickly, but this new one they forced on us when it wasn't even complete... I can't do it. I really tried, and thought I'd get used to it, but I can't when some things are either broken or don't work the same anymore. I still can't tell if it's a bug or a feature taken away that I can't show people's icons. I think it only works in art submissions? Dunno, but it doesn't work on my page or journals. So, I'm going to leave DA (HOPEFULLY just temporarily) until they fix everything. Though if it's still horrible to use when they claim it's all
My Own Random Generator List
There are many times where I can't figure out what to draw, so I tend to put a few art ideas in a random choice generator. But now I decided to make it so all of my current art ideas can be in one place, and I can use a random number generator instead! (this is, of course, when I want to do personal art). There are certain things I added to the list that are more vague (like 'draw fanart' or 'draw a gift' or 'paint something') cuz I don't wanna list out all of those options. Also this is a never ending list! I'll keep adding more, and certain ones might "expire" (I no longer will want to draw the thing), so it can really make me think if it's something I really wanna work on! Also they can range from sketches to full on illustrations or comics! I'd be curious to know if any of these stand out for you. :3c (I will not update THIS list in the journal. I'll update it on my personal document) Also also some of these I may have other people draw, too. They help me with
I hit a rock at 65mph
So last night I was coming back from my mom's house, and as I was getting closer to my dad's house, the car in front of me moves out of the way and suddenly I see this large white rock (half the size of a tire) and I couldn't react in time while going 65mph, so it possibly popped both left tires. I was very lucky I didn't lose control of the car, but I was able to move over to the side of the road calmly enough. I felt shaken, but okay. I called my step mom and let her know, so my dad came over to me. Before he got there, a guy in a white convertible pulled over in front of me. I thought he also hit it, but he backed up to me and wanted to see if I was okay. I gave him the ok sign a few times and gave a thumbs up, so he went on his way. Then shortly after a cop stopped behind me. Asked what happened, so I let him know. He offered to call for a tow truck, but once my dad got there I let them talk about it. I'm driving my dad's car, after all. During that time, the cop got a message
