  1. It's been a while, but new drawing.

    Ruby2.0.thumb.png.995eae2e941a3fff0d730b7f6843b2e6.png

    Redraw of one my OCs, Ruby, not fully happy with it, but it was about time.

  2. @Blitz Boom "While I appreciate it, your judgement or lack of it holds no importance to me." "Even the truth, that my kin doesn't judge me for it, holds no weight." "For those who I have wronged, have no voice, they cannot speak, they cannot forgive." "And thus, the only means of atonement, is undoing." "And it will happen, be it in ten cycles, or hundred, or many millenia." "I have plenty of time." "I do have couple of questions fit for the location." "You say you seek the kobold siblings, so why were you in Canterlot? No doubt Scorch told they were in the town, as she saw them there?" "And, since you met her, were you made aware of the situation with the kobold among them?" "She did mention it yes, but told me that you are likely to know in case they have moved on." "So I saught you out first." "And Sheez? Yes, I am aware." "Such anger in those eyes, such hatred." "A broken soul, to experience such horrors at so young." "I respect the decision my brothers and sisters have made, she made a choice, and banishment was the price, such is life of a kobold." "I however, am not in place to pass such judgement." "And I plan to suggest reconsideration." "Not for forgiveness, not for understanding, but to end the cycle of hatred." "For hatred consumes all." Vaz would then take a bag from under his seat, getting ready for the eventual stop at the bottom of the mountain. ----------------------------------------- "No flair without the basics." Voltaick simply stated, seemingly ingoring the show, Charir however appreciated the little showcase as always, even if he didn't shot it as openly due to the stress of the whole situation. "Here, Elder is more a title." Voltaick explained "The oldest of each kind is the elder of that bloodline." "Generally speaking that is, there's always exceptions." "We call those over ten millenia, The Ancients" "Currently we don't have any Ancients, as there was a change of generation couple millenia ago, as last of them decided to pass." "Or well, there is one that is believed to exist, one so ancient that they preceded even the great collapse. However, it is not known where they are, if they even habit this plane of existence." Werodex laughed "I can, but I dont." she said quite bluntly "I am the matriarch of knowledge, I've been the head of this library for three millenia, and have been surrounded by knowledge since I first broke out of my egg under my mother's wing, over seven millenia ago." "Mindreading is a tool of the ignorant." "Knowledge is a power." she gave an almost unnerving grin as she said it, before continuing "And by my kin, I assume you mean all of us here, rather than just my blood, and to that, there is no single answer." "We all are unique combination of thousands of generations of different dragons." "We can certainly help him." "You met Voltaick already, he is studying to become a teacher, so he shall assist you. But he has some learning to do himself first, so you must wait." "It warms my mind to see you appreciate the wonder of magic, it is so awfully rare in your kind, like it is to our feral friends on the other side of the barrier." "Though, before we get distracted, let me deal with that pesky thing." Werodex then reached her leg towards Ruby, before unceremoniously just pulling the necklace of her neck. Ruby gasped loudly and tensed up immediately, but seemed to calm down right after; Werodex floated the amulet in her claws for a second, seemingly curious, before crushing it into dust that disappeared into the darkness. "Old curse, set up by the dragon that eye belonged to, missfired with whatever equestrian magic it was later enchanted with, making a perfect mess with your inner magic." she then stated casually, though while the whole thing happened in seconds Ruby seemed oddly uncomfortable, even bit timid? "W-what did you do to me?" she asked, sounding uncharacteristically apprehensive, though Charir noticed something that Leviathan likely didn't, a certain smell, as faint as it was, is that fear? "Oh, my apologies, I should have warned you, I had to suppress you to make things easy for all of us." "Whatever you are feeling should pass soon enough." "Speaking off, you three should probably head for some rest, Voltaick will show you where you can stay, I'll have some information prepared for you tomorrow." she touched two of her claws together, and Voltaick appeared next to them from a pulse of black colored magic, visibly confused "Wha- oh." "You could just call my name you know?" he said to Werodex, in respectful but annoyed tone, to which she simply replied "Yes" before adressing the trio again "Do any of you have any further questions?" Ruby opened her mouth but then closed it again, whatever she was going to say she decided not to, instead she turned to Leviathan "I'll wait outside, I need air." and walked off. ----- "I need to keep that in mind, not that I would readily accept a challenge in water, too much disadvantage." Sheska wasn't one to judge Harpoon for hypocrisy in this specific case, after all, it wouldn't be the first or last time for her when Trox carries her to bed after she collapses from exhaustion. Healers were basically just mothers of the entire community. "Dragons are closest in diversity to us I think." "We are small, physically weak and aren't naturally strong with magic either, so adaptation and numbers is how we survive." "We are quick to reproduce, so mutation happens fast, and we live in isolated communities, so different groups don't mix as much" "I have even read about some communities purposely picking and choosing parents to push adaptation to certain direction." "Though I personally wouldn't agree with such, until absolute necessity for the survival of the community."
  3. "Again, I doubt the thing is going anywhere until we do something to it." Jenna assured "Though, if our world is heading towards the same fate, would it really make a difference?" "Which again is why we are here." "We didn't come here because a letter told us to, we came here, because a letter told us something would happen, and we made the decision to see what it was about." "And we are still here, because I don't want our world to look like this." "I don't want to be the one writing those journals we found in this place's version of my apartment." "I don't want to know, what it feels like to be that hopeless."
  4. "Funny." Jenna stated in contradictorily matter of fact tone, "I also wanted to be like the dragons in fantasy books." "Even us dragons, can't be like...dragons." "But back on topic, like said, don't expect..notable obvious changes." "Your body is still...99% human."
  5. Glutton sounds like a fine pick for me. Asildae knows generally what Draconequui are, but as they aren't really relevant where she originates from, she probably won't recognize Glutton as one before Glutton states as much, even if she may awknowledge her as unusual looking creature. I'm gonna try to respond to the RP tomorrow, hoping I feel less tired than I have for last couple days, and like stated, it's up to you to lead the kobolds story towards its for-now end as you wish, and then set up the meeting of Glutton and Asildae No need to take Asildae's page as set in stone fact, rather a direction of the general vibe. At least the Dialogue written in her page is Non-canon, and I'll write something more fitting in my responce as the time comes.
  6. pretty much, though minor correction, it's not that she likes to eat by gooifying things, it's just how she eats. She doesn't have teeth and has a small mouth, instead she eats with a proboscis that is inside her mouth, that comes out when she either feeds or attacks with it. I take from the mention of chaos that she is a Dragonequus (or however you write it, not gonna google ) And i'm fine with some chaos, as long as it's not constantly targeted at my character. That's mainly where my "if" stands, most of my characters don't have natural protections against chaos magic, Kitsune tricks or other similar stuff, so being a constant target of stuff I can't do anything about gets old (experience xoming mainly from specific RP years ago). And don't worry, Asildae won't be much of a problem to the general public, beyond being weird and maybe bit offputting to some , her motives are lot more simple than word domination or destruction She's also smart enough to not make unnecessary enemies. I can also see the garbage eating being a somewhat connecting point between the two, because while Asildae doesn't usually eat literal garbage, anything biological, be it rotten or fresh, is fine enough for her, and if nothing else, garbage attracts animals like rats and some birds, and she likes those. Also, one doesn't need to be dumb to free Asildae, every story has two sides, and they jsut have to be convinced by Asildae's version. It's not like she's sealed in some magical vault deep in tartarus; it's just a metal cage dumbed in a random cave. I remember Shark , she made an appearance with the kobolds in the Oni situtation. Otherwise she would also be fine, but until something happened since, wasn't she kinda hard to communicate with? with her not really speaking or understanding due to being..well, a shark. the problem comes more from the OOC side, because as you may have noticed, my characters (so I) like to talk, and while Asildae as a character wouldn't have a problem with it, I as a writer don't necessary want to have to think about how to simplify the dialogue. (Until shark speaks some other language? Asildae is versed in several languages, so that wouldn't be far fetched solution) 1. She is still quite large, just not taller, keep in mind body proportions. The old picture Isn't really accurate, and a redraw is currently WIP because I haven't felt like drawing for a while, but: She is about 3 times as long as she is tall, maybe longer as the tail will probably become longer in the redraw, and at least as wide as she is tall. So even if standing next to a pony that would somehow be as tall as Ruby, she would still be at least double their size due to how long she is. And that's without the wings, as one wing is enough to cover her body entirely in area + part of the tail, so if standing with her wings open, she's massive. Think something like bears or lions in real life, or even moose (or horses even), they are not that tall when standing on four legs compared to humans, but they are massive due to the rest Not that the exact size is really relevant, to most things, since the main point is that she is too big for things build for ponies and bipedal Equestrian dragons. 2. Sounds like she would like them indeed, though she's only as mean as she needs to be 3. no worries, she's quite tolerant; depending on who you are of course 4. to specify a bit, due to her current predicament, she isn't currently connected to a hive mind, though her mind still is a mess, as she holds certain memories of a hive mind related stuff, which no doubt could overwhelm other species invading her mind. The way I imagine the hive-mind working, is kinda like how I understand the mind flayers in DnD to work(if that means anything to you); they are individuals, but when they get close to their hive-mind, they get connected and taken over by it. Also worth a note kinda a spoiler, but also not since she will state as much in her introduction no doubt, Asildae isn't just a regular member of the species, which makes her mind even more unique in how it works. 5.
  7. Took a while to respond because I haven't been online for few days (12 h work days really are something). The original idea I had was for the kobolds and Onache find her, due to the whole insect thing, however, as I have had a moment to think, your approach does seem more fitting. The kobolds are in a weird place now where while I enjoy playing them, they have been kinda stuck in a loop: meet character -> story exchange -> meet new character. There has been also quite the drama around them, so stuffing yet another from the left field stuff would be jarring. So it is probably a good idea to give the siblings break of some lenght, which could also work as a sort of a off-screen timeskip, so that when/if they return, they already have settled down somewhat (gained some money through the bounties and other odd jobs, and build some kind of start of a home.) I'd say that the best way to do it is to finish the conversation happening in Harpoon's Hospital room, be it couple or few posts more (it's really up to you, since Sheska isn't the one leading the conversation), and then start the new storyline. Speaking, of, I'm gonna give some info on the insect character: First, here's her page https://mlpforums.com/blogs/entry/26757-asildae-oc/ Though besides the picture and the name, it doesn't really give info about her (also don't worry, I'll shorten her name in the RP, I for one won't remember how to write it otherwise ) (Also also, the name is just one letter away from the scientific name for robber/assassin flies, in case you were curious) The page gives more the vibe and general layout of where she is, since you'll have to start the whole thing by your character findig her, per her being in a cage in the end of a dark cave The character isn't fully fletched out, so I'm going to make some things up as we go, but here's some info still in no particular order. 1. She's quite tall, I'd say about 2 average mare heights, so somewhat taller than somone like Celestia? So around as tall as Ruby. 2. She is also quite thin in build, so while tall, she isn't that intimidating physically (though this doesn't mean she's physically weak.) 3. Because one can't tell from my drawing style, she is in fact "fuzzy", like a moth, though like in real insects, the "fur" is just soft scales that resemble fur. 4. She is part of a hive-mind species, so the operation of her mind is quite unique, and is thus immune or resistant to certain things, though that's only really relevant with characters like Onache, who can, and often does, go to others' minds. 5. She's omnivore, and eats things by gooifying them and drinking them, though she personally prefers creature based diet over plants. For your character, it's really up to you, the key thing really being that they are somone who reasonably would find Asildae, or in other words, would: 1. Follow mysterous singing in a forest 2. ignore warnings and follow said singing into a cave And the location? up to you again, as long as it's some kind of forest, it can be the Everfree forest, or some other random Equestrian forest, or even non-Equestrian one. It just needs to be deep enough in the forest, so that it's feasible that she has been there for a while, without anybody else going "I think I'll figure out where that singing is coming from."
  8. Woo, new computer. now I just need to install everything and log in to so many things :scoots:

    1. Snow

      Snow

      Always the fun part…

  9. "Genetically speaking." Jenna specified "You most likely won't be growing any scales...or breathing fire." "It's a mutation, not a transformation." "My guess is that...if there was to be any physical changes, besides what...we have already seen, it would be something like...your skin growing more durable." "You are still a mammal, you won't turn into a reptile just because some blood." "However, it is good to mention...that I have no real knowledge on the matter." "Talon never, as far as I know, experimented with human-dragon hybrids." "Why would they?.... they see humans as inferior creatures, pests that are more harm than good...." "Why would you try to combine yourself with something you see as inferior?"
  10. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Jenna quoted "All we know is that they knew us, and knew that something was going to happen." "We don't know if they knew what was going to happen." "As far as we know, it was just bunch of dudes in suits who looked at a diagram then a list of names, and just drew some lines based on location." "Again, if intent was to kill, they could have just shot us, that would have been quicker, more effective and generally just more certain way of doing it." "While this place sucks, the only actively deadly thing we have seen, left the place."
  11. I love when games have features that really don't need to be there but are because fun. 
    I couldn't find a gif, but in Ultrakill, one of the variants of revolver has a secondary fire that makes you spin the gun, and this spin, has lift. You won't really see this in regular gameplay, like ever, but if you get enough "dual-wield" pickups (each give one extra gun) with cheats, spinning your gun(s) makes you fly.  

    This was coded in, there is no reason for such feature to exist, but it does, and I love that. 

  12. @Blitz Boom Do you have any specific ideas you are building to with the Onache-kobolds story? I'm asking, because if you don't, I have a character that could mix things up. Bipedal insect-creature with some similarities to pre-reformed changelings in nature. The only thing is, that said character is in a cage in some forest somewhere, and Onache probably isn't in a shape to randomly go about in a forest with the kobolds.
  13. It's funny how universe tends to push things forward. I have been planning on upgrading my PC this year, partly due to the whole Win10 losing support thing; the original plan was to look at in the summer-autumn time frame, however, my hard drive is once again breathing its last breaths, and I wouldn't be surprised if dies soon, so I've taken that as a sign from the universe, so I'll be heading to the computer place to get some kind of plan going, and will see the exact date after, Easter is annoyingly next week, so that does slow the plan down a bit, since no doubt that shop will be closed for entire Easter. 

  14. @Blitz Boom "I dare to claim that, if one lives as long as I have, there is no excuse for ignorance." Vaz stated regarding the comment on his familiarity of things, his tone, while still friendly, being slightly more direct on the statement. "Cooperation is something I too suggest, for I have nothing to gain here." "My investigation is a case of mere curiosity, and the knowledge I may gain is more use to you than it would ever be to me." "But admittedly, I will provide not much help in search, as what I felt was but an instant, giving me a direction, nothing more." "For titles, as I expressed, I'm merely a lone wanderer." "I have been called many titles, the mage, the wanderer, the lone one; various names in various languages, meaning many things." "A scholar seeks knowledge to document it, to share it." "My kind does do that, we send a pair or a party to seek knowledge, but I am not such." "I am a lone mage, the last of my family, and while I share what I gather, that is not the purpose of my travel." "My quest for knowledge is personal, to seek knowledge yet created, to undo actions long past." as the first break from his seemingly unchanging emotions, Vaz put his hand on the symbol on his armor, his movement being oddly tender, with hint of pain flashing in his green eyes "My existence as I am, is due to a failure of colossal scale." "Mistake unforgivable." "I am not one worthy of a title of honor, I am simply a fool, who, as some on the surface say, flew too close to the sun; but instead of burning myself, I burned the world, and now I walk in the ashes, seeking to atone." Solar had several questions at this point, but he let Magma do the speaking because he figured she was lot more...sensitive about it, and thus had a lover risk to accidentally start conflict. He would have been lot more direct if they weren't in a populated train. -------------------------------------------- "And I'm not particularly interested in babysitting a death-bringer forever either." Voltaick said quite bluntly "But no matter how much you may know of Equestrian weather magic, it does not fully translate, not only is the magic of my kin and death-bringers different, it is likely that we are also talking about some biological factors, as our aptitude with electricity is part biological." "Charir being a hybrid complicates things further, as we rarely get a chance to study them, as not only are they rare, they don't always come here; if they even survive long enough to learn their nature as a hybrid in the first place." Leviathan was right to wonder about Charir's capability to understand, not because the magic allowing them to understand each other didn't work, but due to Charir's objectively awful upbringing; he barely spoke his own language, his vocabulary being considerably lesser to Ruby's, especially when it came to words relating to more positive concepts, and while impressive magic, it couldn't translate something that somebody didn't know a word for in any language. This however wasn't a problem in what Leviathan said, as Charir understood it perfectly, what caused issues was responding, because what he wanted to say was a simple thank you, but he didn't really have any words for it, the only form of being 'thankful' he knew, was in insulting, sarcastic way, and that wasn't what he wanted to say. He didn't ask about the hug, at least not yet, as while it still was bit weird to him, he had kinda figured out the messaging behind it. Besides, it wasn't entirely foreign concept, after all, even their kind had the instinct to get close to their mothers for protection when they hatched, it was just that it was quickly beaten out of them, sometimes literally. He also didn't know what a hug was called, so he needed to think a way to word it. It did also make it bit harder to respond that he simply wasn't used to hearing so many compliments in the same statement, he didn't know how to process it, because while of course there was pride, lot of negativity also came and tired to stifle it. He did get out a some kind of response though, be it a quiet one, signaling his uncertainty in his words "I appreciate you greatly, Leviathan." as he said the name, the familiar accent made an appearance, since it was a honest attempt to say it in the proper way, rather than the magics doing "I have a lot to say to you, when I can" he then attempted a smile after Leviathan pulled from the hug. "You are welcome, though, I am just the messenger." Voltaick responded in friendly manner, it seemed that he felt the need to specify that he was doing this because he was supposed to, rather than because he decided so. Maybe it was to distance himself for reason or another, or maybe he just didn't want to claim the credit, who knew? Ruby did notice that it was bit hard to tell if Voltaick wanted to be helping them, it was clear that he didn't like her, feeling was mutual, but at the same time, Ruby couldn't see any signs that his friendliness would have been anything but genuine. That was partly why she had stayed quiet the whole time, Leviathan was clearly fine with doing the talking, so Ruby could focus on observing; this was new area to her, for the first time in a long time, if not ever, she felt genuinely in disadvantage while at her full capability. Not only could these magical dragons just wipe her out of existence, but also, unlikely her own kin, these ones were also in more equal footing with her on intelligence, since they actually used their heads too. And lastly, unlike ponies, these dragons were fully prepared for those like Ruby, there would be no princesses of friendship trying to talk her down if she posed a threat. "Our variety used to be far greater, and believe it or not, even death-bringers used to have lot more variation." "But after the great collapse, our numbers dwindled to such extend, that lot of variations either died off, or blended together, forming what you see now." "In essence, we are all hybrids." Voltaick explained nonchalantly "If you wish to speak with the aquatic ones, I suggest talking with the serpents, the ones with the long body, they are lot more talkative." "The salamanders, the ones that look more like us, can talk, but often just decide not to, they prefer communicating through flashing their scales, which nobody else can understand." "They are also just generally less friendly." "Though no feral ones here, that's what the barrier is for." "Werodex may know, but those times do unfortunately have lot of mystery to them, as lot of knowledge was lost at the great collapse, that is why the library was build in the first place." "My personal guess is that if he did anything special, they were aware of him, but didn't know him personally. But if he was just another Equestrian dragon, they may have not, as it's enough work to try to keep up with our own." "I also personally believe that if you go back long enough, we all come from the same ancestors, though it is unlikely to be ever proven either way." "Ah, a polite one." Werodex stated in...delighted tone? It was hard to say, as it was so hidden under the layer of authority and might, she then glanced towards Charir and Ruby; Charir was first, lowering his head and speaking without even trying to hide his fear "Charir, yo-your might." and lastly Ruby, who did not bow, instead meeting Werodex's eyes, though her voice too betrayed her a little, as it was missing a certain defiance "Ruby." Werodex gave a curious smile "A name not in your language, Ruby, a red gemstone, how curious indeed." she then looked at them as a whole "You can relax young ones, I am no royalty, merely an Elder, in who's house you are visiting." "Respect these halls, and you have no problem with me." her voice told that the last sentence was a warning rather than assurance. "I am Elder Werodex, the keeper of this great library, the home of my kin, and the sanctuary of knowledge: past, present, and future." "Here you can find what has been known, is known, and sometimes, what could be known." "You seek it, we have it, but the question is, are you worth it?" "I am the oldest of the Darkscales, and thus their leader, Like my mother before me; do not let my current size fool you, it is merely more convenient to speak like this." she then addressed Voltaick "Thank you Voltaick, you may wait outside." Voltaick once more bowed, and left. She then once again looked at the trio "It fascinates me so, how this has come to be." "The foretold mother of destruction, adopting the determined protector, with, excuse my language, awfully undergrown Equestrian." she gave an almost sympathetic look towards Leviathan, before looking at Ruby directly "You seem to possess an object that causes you grief." she then looked at Charir, who was still arching with electricity "Ah, and young ones curious about magic, always a delight." "Not something your mother ever realized." as she said it, she gave a knowing look to both siblings. "I assure you both, you'll learn more than you know to ask." she then finally faced Leviathan "But you, small Equestrian, I can see you are of curious mind, even in your age, so what is it that is in your mind?" ------------------- "I understand your mother's perspective, not as a mother myself, yet, but as a healer." "I have, quite literally, dragged kobolds back to bed after they thought they were fine walking around." "Poor things were scared of me for next full cycle." Sheska said in joking manner, it was true, but the specific case had been quite harmless. "Oni, as far as I gathered, is malevolent kitsune ghost, in simple terms." "As far as I know, it should be fine." Sheska responded as she brought her tail in the front to look at it "This is permanent, and nothing was said about the material that would say otherwise." "My brother, with his cybernetics, would need some extra maintenance, but the metal alloy doesn't rust, so it's fine." "In general, I'm yet to learn of kobolds who would be actively harmed by salt, though I imagine it would take some getting used to for us specifically, since we are more adapted to the freshwater moisture of forests and caves." "It would most likely dry us bit like the sun does, we haven't actually ever been to the ocean." "There also exists kobolds who have adapted to the life in the sea, haven't met one myself, but our friend who travels around has interacted with couple; they habit underground caves and hunt for food in the ocean."
  15. "By following the beam." Jenna reminded "Whatever it leads to, it does lead to something" she pointed out "And while I have no interest in defending someone just sitting in the shadows doing nothing practical; nobody told us to come in, we only were told where this would happen." "It was our, or well, my decision to come in." "And I doubt they want us dead, mainly from practical standpoint." "We are not bulletproof, if they wanted us dead, they could have just knocked on our doors and shot us."
  16. "Like I said, it is likely that...your natural processes simply got boosted." Jenna stated "Given perfect circumstances, humans would be...perfectly able to heal wounds like that, be it....very slowly." "Circumstances just never are perfect, thus they never...fully heal." "My blood likely boosted the process in your body...enough to heal quick and without permanent..effects." "This would also explain your stamina increasing...since your body recovers faster." "I'd assume that it means that...things like your muscle gain would also be notably faster." "That happened with my blood mixed with yours." "So...there's two options on what will happen with time." "Either my blood will fade out as your body creates more blood...returning you to normal." "Or it has changed your biology to the extend...that eventually only dragon blood flows in you." "And while you won't be changing species...I am curious about the implications of that...for your body." "It could in theory, increase your lifespan... far beyond normal."
  17. I was just informed that Miuku, our oldest cat has passed. 

    Spoiler

    20 years ago, my parents found a lone, malnourished kitten surviving in the yard of my father's childhood home; she was old enough to eat solid food, so they gave her tuna. Later, as a family, we went there, trapped her with Tuna, and took her home. She was scared and very hostile, a wild cat, in every way. I was 6 years old. 

    We were supposed to only keep her until she could be given to a home, but her stay became permanent. Slowly but surely, she learned to trust us, I was the first one she fell asleep on the lap of. She had many children until spayed, spreading joy to homes they were given to, Including Mäykky, who we kept, and passed away couple years ago. My current cat is a grandchild of Miuku, and a beacon of light in this dark world. 

    To say she had an impact on my life, is an understatement, I am 26 years old, and for 20 years from that, most of my life, Miuku was there. A family member, the igniter of my love and care for cats, a source of happiness, she has molded me as a person, and future without her will be that little bit tougher. 

    She was a tough lady, an outside cat most of her life, she was never sick, never injured; she single-handedly kept our neighborhood free of mice, and guarded her territory from wild-cats with iron-paw. Even in her last years, while age did take its toll, taking her hearing and energy, she was proud and dignified. But as tough she was, she too had her limit, and she had to be taken to a vet for the final nap to save her from pain. The vet apparently said that she was the oldest cat that they ever had done it to, which in my opinion is a testament to her resilience.

    Born to the wild, you were faced with the worst the world had to offer. That determination never left you, you were a tough and dangerous, yet under the shell hardened by hardship, was a loving, friendly creature, that could bring light in the darkest of times. We grew up together, and while we may have not seen each other as often later in life, I never forgot you. 

    Rest in peace little one, you for sure have deserved it, we will miss you, and we will never forget you.

  18. Bit down actually, I was tired from this week already, playing Ultrakill made me feel momentarily better, but then I crashed again when I realized that I don't have anyone to share my joy of the game with. My only friend doesn't know anything about the game, and isn't the kind of person to fake interest, so sharing things about it with him is pointless, and unlike with my art and such, I can't really share clips from the game and such here either, because it's such a bloody game.

    I'm alive, barely. 

    Man, 3 12 hour days is inhumane, and I get to do it again next week. It isn't actually as bad as the days are going, but after I got home after today's 4 hour day, :scoots: I don't think I've felt this awful since that one 27 hour streak in the army, and that was almost 7 years ago. :applejackunsure:

  20. Eeyup. First by my older neighbors (seriously, who bullies 3-5 year old) Then in both pre-school stuff and school I was the favorite target of many because I was "the weird kid", I also cried easily so they got a reaction too. (this also happened in things like summer camps, so I guess I just were a good target) Attempts were made also in higher grades (ages 14-16 I think?) too, but at that point I was so shut in as a person that it wasn't as fun to them due to lack of proper reaction. They even tried a bit of physical stuff (up to that point no physical bullying had happened other than like once in pre-school.) Hitting me to the face in a crowded space (so that they could claim innocence), but I didn't as much as look into their direction, so it only happened twice and never again. After that I got a break in vocational school, as I was in IT-related education, and thus I was surrounded by other "losers", and after that I've been relatively free, as both in the army and construction work, there isn't really "bullying" as much as there is men needing validation for their manhood through pushing others down. But as much as it has affected me negatively, and as much as it has made me despise my hometown as a place, while still suffering from its effects mentally to this day, I'm partly thankful for it, as it has made me not only stronger person, but also a better person; it pushed me away from toxic groups, that if I was to become part of them, would have directed me to quite the different route in life. Probably the biggest win for me is that it kept me away from big social media platforms, as it was during the time of the rise of social media, and thus I didn't fall victim to the addiction.
  21. Hi.  ≽^•⩊•^≼

    Welcome to the forums new person. Your friend request was so powerful that when I accepted it, I got an error page :moustache:

      It did go through yes, the whatever page is supposed to be visible after it just never loaded, and I got "oops..something went wrong" instead :P 

  22. I've always been a creative type; when I was a kid, I liked to make massive fighting scenes using cut pictures from newspapers and magazines, and drawn stick figures. Then school came and kinda killed that part from me, as the limits posed on me in the art/craft classes took the fun out of creation. Years later, when I joined the forums, my want to draw was ignited once more, and here we are.
  23. I take with open we mean active, and for that, currently it would be 25 (though 5 will close soon). However, I do have lot of closed tab-groups, and if I were to open all of those at the same time, I'd easily go over 100
  24. Hi there.
    So, I requested from you instead of doing an art trade, because I wasn't sure if I would be able to hold my side on such a trade...well, I ended up drawing your character anyway :Thorax:

    Spoiler

    I hope it's even remotely accurate, as getting the right colors from fully shaded/rendered drawing is difficult (I used the picture you put in the Art trade post as the reference)
