This post wont have anything to do with wolf RP so feel free to read if you care.
Last night I had a crazy ass nightmare that just thinking about is giving me the willies :/ I drempt that I was sleeping in my brothers room at my parents house with Zev. Zev was faced away from me, his back toward me and when I woke up I was like freaking out. I looked over by the door and saw a shadow streching up the wall. The shadow was of a tall man, litterally like, all legs with a tophat and a cane (totally uncle sam looking) In the dream I started remembering stuff I had read on facebook (i dont know why it was facebook) but someone had posted something about the "Tall Man" being in their house tormenting their kid. It was weird. Well I opend my eyes again (in the dream) and the shadow had shifted to being right infront of me and it was looking at me. I freaked out and woke myself up for real by gasping in fear. I was shaking and sweating.. totally freaking out trying not to look at the walls in Zev's room. Zev was laying the same way he was in my dream. I dont know why, maybe it was instinct or just human nature but I felt an unbearable -need- not want, -need- to be in his arms. So I forced him to roll over and I curled up on his chest (zev is a heavy sleeper lol) but he put his arms around me and I instantly felt better but I was still so freaked out I couldnt fall back asleep for nearly an hour.
Weird huh?
Im curious. When I don't like someone I tend to remove them from any friends list and pretty much all together avoid them. Am I wrong? At what point did disliking someone account for -adding- someone to your friends list and going out of your way to add someone somewhere? So I gave out my LJ info on the pack channel and got a bunch of adds. One was from Nesche. I recognized the name but didn't think to much on it. The journal had nothing on it so I figured it was just one of my members under a different name. Then, I swear to god like a sack of rocks it hit me. I know where I knew the name from. Its She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's friend Stephany. I personally have never had a problem with the chick, except that it was annoying that she would join the pack, show up once or twice and then poof into oblivion just to show up some weeks/months later under a different name. Other then that, Seriously, I barely know the girl. Well when I had asked other earlier if they knew who Nesche is on LiveJournal someone had pointed me to a Deviantart account. I went threw my logs to find the DA account mostly to confirm that its the right person and sure as shit she was talking to Moonweaver and I see posts like this:
Honestly, just ignore Shiiake/Shiake (shit I don't pay enough attention to her to know which it is... ).
:I Completely ignore her; the only way to end this fuming shit of a bitch-fest is to just end it by getting the last laugh. Don't remove her from your friends list, or anything like that, just ignore her. Let her watch our pack flourish when hers falls just like we know it will. She will get nowhere with this "I rule all; obey my rules or get the fuck out" kind of attitude. We both know the obvious. Let her watch us and ignore ANYTHING she says. It just says that you're fucking done with her shit.
Really?! WTF DID I DO TO HER!? The way to end the "fuming shit of a bitch-fest" is to PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF MY ASS AND DONT IN
Next what the fuck is with people trying to discourage people from my pack?! Here I am being a GOOD alpha, encouraging my wolves to get out there and see other packs and you guys have to say stupid shit? My wolves ask about other packs, this is what I say
LoreWeavers - Honestly I have not spent much time there so I have nothing to say.
SilverNights - Hardcore realism, no talking
Soulwolves - Different roleplay style - tend to do sentences not paragraphs (not a bad thing, just possibly something they are not use to)
SilverMists - As far as I have seen from visiting - no one is there but check it out
WolfSpirits - Awsome, active for the most part
Its funny though, Most alphas discourage their members and even new people from checking out other packs. They fail to mention that there are other packs out there or do not permit wolves to stray from their channels. Its very sad really.
<3 I love Wolf RP. Keep it coming guys. I could use more laughs <3
I've been focusing on sketching and inking chapter two, anf putting more effort on the backgrounds this time, and trying to digitally color two pages of chapter one, then work on traditional water coloring (FFFFF! a lot harder than it looks, omg!) and then working with modeling clay and doing a whole bunch of junk, the past three days have been a strain on my eyes and I can barely see straight, so progress is going to be a LOT slower in order to give them a chance to recover...
I need to spend less time on the pc, too. The screen is killing me right now. But it's nothing to worry about! I'm fine, just over worked my eyes a bit. I'm sure a few days will hopefully help them recover.
Mean while, I'm going to try and get some profiles pictures inked, and then issue two's cover scanned for coloring... and then wonder what the HECK I was chewing on while doing chapter two... where the heck did THAT plotbunny come from? OAo;
soreSo funny story. I was apparently uninformed that Hunter and I are no longer friends o.o She broke the rules, I banned her from the SB channels ( not like thats a big deal as its usually -me- visiting -her- ) Then she goes and writes a BIG LJ about how my style of leading is bad and will lead to disharmony. You do what you want in your pack, ill do what I want in mine. If I have a problem with someone I will tell whoever I want. Jezabell broke the rules and her emo attitude annoys people. No one is just agreeing with me, we talked to her the night before the incident about now her constant OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING attitude was getting annoying. There is no disharmony within my pack, thanks for the concern though. So then the conversation went way in a new direction about how the age of a character effects their ability to roleplay with the pack. Like with the talking thing, when Azarra came in and said her character was Telepathic and I was like "well duh we all are" and others were like "no we really talk" it came to our attention that there was some confusion on the matter so we took it to Council and discussed it and came to a group conclusion that all speaking between wolves is telepathic. Same with the age thing. It was firmly decided that no wolf that is a member of SB may exceed 9 years of age. No you dont need to kill the character- you must simply play a new one. Then the topic came up with Tsume about if he was still aloud to visit dispite the obnoxiously unrealistic age in which he wanted his character to live. At the time I said no, mostly because it was Tsume and mostly because that would make sense, but again since the topic came up, I took it to Council. We decided that you CAN visit after age 9 but like if you visit past age 6, our elder rules apply. You may not hunt/spar with the pack. So now apparently I was suppose to go farther then putting it in the topic but now apparently I was suppose to run around informing all the elder members of SB (no matter how often they visit SB) that they are able to roleplay with us. "I thought we were friends why didnt you tell me?" Because you hardly visit anyway so why bother? Kovo is my friend and i didnt run around trying to tell her, or Silverlune or any other elder wolves. Sorry your not special. e.e If one of the people that CONSTANTLY visit SB was an elder then sure I would have made an effort to tell them but since my elderly wolfen friends are infrequent visitors I didn't see a point. Sorry. Now apparently I am a bitch and liar and I need to disban SB so I can be just like Shoga :D I love when people have nothing else to say to defend themselves so they resort to pointing fingers and finding a different topic but it was also nice to get a complement, I apparently am just like Shoga! Sweet! I always wanted to be a good alpha. Sure I have my faults but no ones perfect, not even those on their high horses that see fit to talk about how other packs ways are wrong :x even those mighty beings have faults :O *GASP* <3 I love wolf roleplay drama <3

On other news, I got hit with a PMS bomb and hadn't gotten much done on the comic at all; three days gone to waste. I had hoped to have page 10 ready by the 20th (21st here already) but I'm still on the 6th page doing the shading, so I'm 4 pages behind schedule. At least I hope to have the first 15 pages (down from 20) ready by New Year, cause I still have no previews, covers or profiles done yet.
No worries, I got the sketches, I just need to ink and scan them for coloring... on time, I hope, >.<;
Speaking of inks, I used to use a black ball-pen ink when doing the first 30 pages, then my sister told me that was the wrong way to do it and gave me a felt-tip pen. The lines are a LOT thinner and cleaner, and though I prefer the ball-point I do see the advantages of a felt-tip.
I use the calligraphy pens to draw the boarders of the speech bubbles, and during the coloring process, I can see how messy and unprofessional that looks. Might as well save the ball-point for the speech bubbles, felt tip for the character inks, and the calligraphy pens for the box and frames, and background crosshatching if needed... mish east with west comic styles, if possible, and see how well they match.
Cleaning the inks is easier with the felt-tip, I realized that though I did get chapter one all inked and scanned, my inking was a wee bit too sketchy and messy in some parts and editing them digitally took more time than expected. I'll need to spend more time inking the pages, if I want to spend the less time cleaning or correcting them later on. The less time consuming the better...
Now I'm sleepy and hungry, gonna go get something to eat then off to bed. G'night ya all~ ♪
sleepyI am Shitler!!! Hear me rawr!!!! I rule my pack with an Iron paw and whip!!! Looook in to my eyes so I can brainwash you into being my minion!!!!!! Everywolf generously apply chapstick while I assume the position for you all to kiss my fluffy white butt!!! *Offers some extra chapstick to Chandler* You get extra :D Bow down to me or OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!! (or into the oven, depends on my mood)
Of course I wont be posting all then, maybe just the first three pages so people would get an idea of what I'm working with. I thought of putting up samples so people will know what the comic will look like, but I cant think of anything to post that wont spoil anything.
I still hadn't started on the profiles, simply cause I hadn't gotten around drawing them. I hope when I get around to them, I'll post them, but now coloring the main comic pages are my main focus, (5 pages down, 31 to go,) I have an idea how to start chapter Two, but hadn't gotten around starting the sketched pages yet, either, >.<
Current goal is to color at least one page a day, two if I can push it, and once I have them all colored, I can start the sketching of chapter Two with covers and such, to see how well I can go with the idea before I get drained. I already determines how everything will roll out, (and damn, I think 25-30 chapters may not be enough if I stick to the 25-40 page limit, xAo; ) but have tiny gaps in the middle I need to fill in as I go.
Oddly, this project is turning out the same way I did The Fallen. 8D;;
But now I'm tired and off to bed. G'night ya'all~ ♪
tiredAll is well. This week is going to be composed of Finals, Today I took my Math one, it wasn't too bad, 25 questions and I only for sure did not know 3 of them so not to bad! Its my management tests that I am more concerned about. They are one question, essay style. Double edge sword really, you either get it or you don't.
I am actually really enjoying celebrating channukah with Zev's family :D We get to light the candles and I love to hear Zev speak in hebrew, I think its super pretty! We got to sit down till the candles burnt out the other night and just sorta talked they told me what Channukah is all about and stuff like that and it was just really nice! We are having a party tomorrow, so hopefully that will go well. I will miss some of it due to one of my finals but other then that it should be good.
[SweetBreeze]
I couldn't be happier! Everything is going amazingly well. We had the meeting, followed by a sparring night, and then two segments of the plot. Everyone is doing remarkably well! I'm very happy with everyone. Jezabell has been reinstated into the pack under the terms that she be demoted and have to re-earn her rank. Everyone has been super active, more so then I expected for the holidays. We have a few new interested wolves but we are going to need more. We have 3 breeding pairs this season. Myself and Tre, Zali and Zentaro and possibly Azarra and Yukon. Lots of the wolves are establishing strong bonds with one another and lots are talking about Spirit bonds and the like!
[Wolf Roleplay]
Per usual everyone (not going to point out anyone specific cause they know who they are) is all up in my business and just feel the need to throw out there that my way of leading is wrong and is going to lead to bad things blahblahblahblahblah Honestly, worry about your own packs. Mine is none of your concern. I will once again point out that it is generally only the problem-wolves that run around talking about what a mean, awful alpha I am. Yet for the handful that hate me, there are 29 wolves in my pack. 29 Wolves who support me. 29 Wolves who are able to, without hassle, follow each and every one of the rules. 29 Wolves, who call SweetBreeze home, me their Alpha and the pack their Family. There is no hostile feelings within the pack, No lack-there-of-harmony, nothing of that sort. So even if you dont agree with my style of leading, which is perfectly fine, Please do not anticipate what that might mean, because so far you all are batting 0. SweetBreeze is no where close to disbanning and even members who have left continue to return. I appreciate everyone's concern for the wellbeing of SweetBreeze but I assure you that the pack is in good hands. My council is strong, and Fair - and before you guys start spouting off about what rules we do and do not have, please actually READ THE RULES so you don't make yourself look like an ass. I wrote the rules, I am pretty sure I know them.
Thanks :D
♥Jezabell has given herself a title right next to MoonWeaver. Since she came to us, she has always had an obnoxiously annoying habit of putting some ungodly long thing in her status. Seeing as she is ALWAYS away this becomes annoying. Jez[Reiko`Semi] Jez`Fuzzypup`Away <-Shit like that. Yes, it gets the job done by complying to the rules that it has her wolf name and her status but like most people she has bent that so that she can add random shit in (This is why our rules are so long - people like this keep coming in and making it so we have to idiot proof) Now, I asked her AGES ago to stop with the adding FuzzyPup to every god damn status thing she made because - its obnoxious. I have put up with her bullshit from day one. The constant drama. Every little incident has been some life altering event. I will use the term Emo because thats the best way to describe it. Everyone is intitled to their emotions. We are here for our members in times of crisis but yaknow what, when every little event in ones life calls for "Someone kill me!" or some bullshit comments like that and talking like its the end of the world - there is a point were sympathy goes away because we know that your problems are not as big as you exagerate them to be and its hard to continue caring when EVERYDAY is a crisis. I called her out on this the other night, I stand by what I said. I love her to death but the fucking emo attitude is annoying to all shit. Her only response "Matt Loves My emoness" Which leads into my next annoyance with her. We. Dont. Care. Everything with her is Matt matt matt matt matt matt matt. Matt wants me on face book, Matt is here. Matt and I are going to do this, Matt and I are going to do that. She wonders why she never gets promoted, its because she only roleplays with Zentaro and Zali and other then that is -always- away unless hounded to roleplay and even then she only seems to listen to me and ignores all other authority within the pack. A few months ago she was a model member. Recruiting, Encouraging Roleplay, She attended meetings and other pack events. I was so proud of her and her promotion to Hunter/Scout was only the first step of many that I had in mind for her, but then she slipped into this slackass routine again. She has sworn loyalty to me, and to SweetBreeze yet in other channels she talks about how I do not allow my members to have opinions and how terrible an alpha I am. I have told her time and time again - if you dont like it, you know where the door is. There are no ball and chains, if you would be happier elsewhere (so long as you leave on a good note) you are always welcomed to come and visit and wont be turned away just because you left the pack. She has always stayed. Her loyalty has always been something I admired about her but I can no longer tolerate her constant complaining. She says SweetBreeze is the only family she has. She has given that up over a nickname, a nickname that has nothing to do with the pack. Her nickname is just that important, that family comes secondary to it. Has the definition of Loyalty changed and I was not informed?
The situation played out like this. We had a sparring tournament last night and Jez not only showed up late, her nickname was set to Jez[Reiko`Semi] I asked her to change it to just Semi. She griped about it but complied. We started sparring and she said she had low interent connection and was closing all other programs then said 'Sorry guys Matt wants me on facebook" I got into this with another member the day of the meeting. We dont have pack events often and they may take up 1 -3 hours. If your significant other cant back the fuck off for a few hours (specially since she had previously spent all day with him) then you may want to look at how clingy your relationship is -_- all we ask for is a little bit of your time to spend with the pack that you made a commitment to. She participated in her leg of the sparring then immediatly after changed her name back to Jez[Reiko`Semi] I told her to change it to just semi -again- She started to argue about it and i just told her "From now on if your not active just dont be in the channels, Easy as that. Change your name or leave." So she left. We finished the sparring and I did a little extra RP with a few that were still awake then took my leave to bed. About 20 min. later I get a text from one of my members saying Jez came back and set her name fucked up again. A member and a guest reminded her that jsut because I am not there does not mean that she can disobey what I told her. She said i was invading her rights and if she wants to put her nickname in her away she can. e.e So I pretty much got on threw the bot and said "when the cats away the mice will play. im sick of you disregarding what I tell you. It is -my- pack and -my- rules. Dont like it - leave." She started with the "Oh but Shi, I am following the rules" So I banned her and told her she can think about whats important to her on a 3 day ban for insubordinance. I then went back to sleep she Zoomed the channel once more that evenign then today came in and was rebanned by Trestian and then banned again as Luxor pretending to be her "sister" we all know thats her name for her other roleplay. So in total that counts as Insubordinance, failure to comply with punishment for said insubordiance, and ban evasion.
Let me get something threw to all of you. This doesn't go for just me or just alphas but any channel owner. He with the @ controls that channel's universe :D If a channel operater decided to make a rule that you can no longer use the word "and" and instead had to use "&" then guess what, he with the @ makes the rules. You have no "rights" You are in someone else's domain and you will follow their rules if you choose to stay there.
Log passing, as I have always said and is now listed in the rules, is only to be done member to council and council to council as aids to solve problems. Passing them to cause problems is just annoying, juvinial and just a way to stir up trouble. I have a hunch as to who is doing it and i will find out for sure in the near future. As for Jezabell, we all told her the other night that her emo attitude is annoying so if we have said it to your face (relitivly speaking due to the interent) then it is no longer talking behind your back :D
In sort I am tired of dealing with her. She can go play with someone who can handle her dramatics and when I find out who is passing logs - they too will be banned.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!! D<
(That is the coolest combo ever. Hitler/Queen of Hearts!!!!)
