To follow literary fashion, to write for money, to censor your true feelings and thoughts or adopt ideas because they’re popular requires a writer to suppress the very promptings that got him or her writing in the first place. When you started writing, in high school or college, it wasn’t out of a wish to be published, or to be successful, or even to win a lovely award like the one you’re receiving tonight. It was in response to the wondrousness and humiliation of being alive. Remember? You were fifteen and standing beside a river in wintertime. Ice floes drifted slowly downstream. Your nose was running. Your wool hat smelled like a wet dog. Your dog, panting by your side, smelled like your hat. It was hard to distinguish. As you stood there, watching the river, an imperative communicated itself to you. You were being told to pay attention.

One day, I want to look deeply into this whole literary abuse of the second person thing, where writers (especially white writers, especially male ones) seem really fucking confused about the usage of ‘You’ vs. “I/Me”.

When I started writing in elementary school, it was TOTALLY out of a desire to be published and successful! I wanted an audience and accolades and movie deals! It was in response not to ‘the wondrousness and humiliation of being alive’ (what the fuck pretentious bullshit even IS that?!) but to having been told stories and wanting to tell them back.

I was never fifteen and standing beside a river in wintertime. That was YOU. You are not me.

So here’s some filler art for those comics I do, since I’m too busy doing holiday crap to do comics.

First chubby anime character for a dating game 

Cute! ^^

Although, is she really the first? I know there was an anime full of chubby girls a long while back… but I guess they could be rarer in dating games and visual novels, huh?

While I am all for adorable chubbies, I really wish we could have them in stuff without “HAHA SEE SHE’S FAT, SO SHE EATS EVERYTHING!” shit. IDEC if that’s the reason she’s fat, it just needs to not be the main facet of her character.

So here’s that thing I was tellin’ y’all about.  It’s a free PDF, so your only sacrifice is a bit of memory on your computing machine!

This is a tabletop game setting by cool bro Sean Patrick Fannon.  It is Heroic High Fantasy type stuff.  If you liked Lord of the Rings but were like, “Y’know what would make this better?  More ladies/good guy orcs/wingy elves/cat people/crocodile people!” this is probably the game for you.

It does have a tendency to focus on European based culture, but there’s options for some Characters of Colour (as you can see from a lot of my own character drawings).  One thing I really like is that, for the most part, the good/evil struggle is based on choices, not birth: there are few incorrigibly evil people, and nobody’s unswervingly good.  

Another thing I really like is the Dregordians (aforementioned crocodile people), who are basically the best thing ever. They’re kinda like Vulcans + Jungle Tribes and are therefore the coolest race.  

I hope y’all will give this setting a try!

Holy crap this thing took forever.  Anyway, here’s a cover for a thing.  I’ll link y’all to the thing once it’s all done and uploaded.  I personally think it’s p. awesome.

Gillian Higgins is a champion horseback rider who teaches horse anatomy to veterinary students, riders, and caretakers by painting the skeletal and muscular systems on the bodies of live horses. She uses water-based hypoallergenic paints and spends up to 4 hours painting a single horse.

“Painting the skeleton and musculature on the side of the horse really helps to bring the subject to life, she told the Daily Mail. “You can discover how to get the best out of your horse by seeing exactly what happens as it moves.”

The English horse-ring champion and sports remedial therapist got the idea for “Horses Inside Out” back in 2006 after completing a degree in equine business management. She understood why many riders and trainers were struggling to learn all those bones and muscles with incredibly long names, and started thinking about a way to better make them understand how the horse works.

Head over to Oddity Central  to learn more about Gillian’s awesome teaching program.

BONES

BONES ARE AWESOME

Remember when I reblogged the horse with skeletal structure and demanded more? ANSWERED. Awesome photo-set and something I’ve needed.

What I’m getting from this is that Slim Goodbody had sex with a horse.
