Teema's Lair

When used in this context it’s extreme sarcasm to make fun of when someone overreacts negatively to something that’s actually very common and not worthy of that kind of reaction.

Case and point: Adults being on the internet.

That said however, it shouldn’t be treated like such a taboo subject to talk about. It is absolutely unacceptable how many people who have menstrual cycles don’t actually know what causes it or how it works. Yes, it is a gross bodily function, but so are most bodily functions. Some people would argue that everything involved with sex is equally gross but you know what? Education is important and these people shouldn’t be treated like shit just for discussing the subject.

Lord knows most of us can’t get anyone to tell us anything half the time.

So many things wrong with this. Firstly, fuck off, beggars can’t be choosers. If you’re gonna bleat on the forums about how you’re oh so poor and can’t pay people for their time spent on artwork for your shitty self, you don’t get to be picky about artstyles.

Secondly, why the fuck should anyone draw for free? You’re asking people to take the time out of their schedules, time they could spend earning treasure (which, WHY THE FUCK DON’T YOU?) or making art for their own dragons. Time that could be spent opening and running a commission store for people who appreciate their effort, time that could be spent with family, friends, pets, work, study etc… 

If someone offers to make you some art for free, that’s completely different. For that, be grateful. Be polite, thankful, and for the love of fuck, don’t go expecting it and holding your hand out like an entitled little shit.

(Also, quit trying to masquerade it off as something noble by claiming “oh, I just thought maybe I could help some poor aspiring artists to build their portfolios up”. Nah, pretty sure they could find someone to commission them more than 5k a pop for fucking practice doodles. )

Thirdly, resize it yourself. Why you gotta be lazy on top of all the rest?

This is exactly the sort of shit that exacerbates the whole situation with online commission artists undervaluing themselves. Here’s something that might shock and surprise; you’re playing an online game FOR FREE, where the shitty 5k that you call your top price can be earned in seconds. You don’t even have the decency to offer more than that. A fictional, digital currency that holds no weight in every day life. No fucking wonder that more and more artists are choosing the paypal only route now.

You don’t have enough treasure to commission an artist? Here’s a step-by-step tutorial of what you should do. 1. Sit down 2. Shut up 3. Delete your embarrassing thread 4. Keep an eye on the forum for offers of free art 5. Get your shady ass in the fairgrounds 6. Alternatively, the coliseum 7. If you’re gonna whinge about that, go breed/sell/train/exalt your dragons and earn the fucking treasure to commission artists properly. Y'know, like everyone else.

You guys realize that this is the 3rd time since LvP that Light and Plague have had a profit push/general push together right?

I’m looking at the fourms and I’m seeing everyone going like OOOHHHH ITS LVP AGAINNN..when is reality it already happened a bunch of times.

Not really sure why there is suddenly a BUNCH of chatter around this push?? But maybe there is something going on in those flights that I’m not sure of. 

Most of the fictionkin I know I’m fine with. They identify WITH the character, not as the character. In fact - kin means “related”, or in this case “relating to”.

In that manner, I myself identify with Mettaton. I’m NOT Mettaton, but he’s in my kintypes because I identify with him.

The people I can’t stand are those who claim they are a character.

Not just that, because at least that’s fictional.

I’m talking about those people who are like “i’m actually markiplier” and then blog about how hard it is being Markkin, why people should take you seriously, how the real markiplier is you from another universe and only if your mom would let you get the right software, you’d start your own youtube to prove it - and anyone who tells you that a million subscribers don’t happen overnight is a hater.

No, no you aren’t Mark, he’s a real living person.

You also aren’t JSE, or Arin Grump, or JonTron. 

You can identify with them. Be like “hey, I identify with these real people because we have blank blank and blank in common!”

Like, I hate fictionkin, for all the reasons stated by everyone plus past bad experiences with my own characters, but...youtubers are people. They’re not fictional. They’re real people in the world with real lives.

If someone is following a real person and saying they are them and going to the point of saying they are them, trying to claim things that are theirs for themselves under this belief? Then that’s stalking and it’s criminal. It’s incredibly mentally unstable behavior.

The best would be Light at 28

Second would be Plague at 22

Third would be (very far behind) Ice at 15

Since this is mostly in response to this post, I feel like I should say that the top three are from my perspective Plague, Light and Ice. Not quite sure why nature would be considered a dom powerhouse with the lowest win rate at three, and only 10 top three placements.
