fslkdjflsa Brief rant that pertains to any genre. Het, slash, femslash, what have you...

Why why why why why does 'dominant personality' always equate to 'topping' in bed!? Why does being on the receiving end or simply being in the position of 'bottom' suddenly mean you have some kind of submissive personality!? I don't get it and I don't think I ever will. I don't begrudge people their fun, but honestly... it gets so tiring and irritating after a while.

People choose 'positions' based on what feels good. Believe it or not, sex isn't always some kind of power play! fkjdsalfjs GOD. Why does this bother me so much. If you ever want to push my buttons, this is evidently the best way to do it.

Misogyny in fandom.

Whoever says it isn't there is blind. I hate how female characters have to be portrayed in a certain way in order to be liked, while you have male characters who posses every negative trait imaginable and are still loved. It drives me crazy. How is it fair or equal to write off a female character as a 'Mary Sue' because she's too feminine, because she's not badass enough, because she's too badass? Women can't be sexual because they're a whore. They can't be 'pure' because it's sexist. They can't be 'weak' because it's anti-feminine. They're expected to meet some ideal of the 'modern woman' (equal to a man in every way possible?), but that ideal teeters on a glass cliff--go too far in the wrong direction and you'll fall unless what's holding you up breaks first.

Why is it wrong to have variety in female characters? Not every woman is strong-willed and independent, and neither is every man, yet if you take all the males characters who are loved and create female counterparts, I wonder how loved they would be?

Then again, maybe it's all about shipping wars. Women often get in the way of that special ship, don't they? [/sarcasm]

Gah. I'm in a bad mood this morning.

I haven't ranted in a while and this one's been simmering in me for months, so TIGHTEN YOUR SHORTS, PILGRIMS. It won't be pretty.

( MY THOUGHTS ON YAOI: LET ME SHOW YOU THEM )

Feel free to agree or disagree. I like to hear other people's points of view. :D I’m really not as “RAR H8T U” as I make myself out to be. Like I said, it’s just been SITTING THERE for months. It could have been a lot longer. I... actually had to edit it down to make it readable.

I know I've ranted about it before, but I just have to say it again... I cannot stand the feminization/kid-ification of Quatre in fanfiction and fanart. It really, really bothers me. More than that, it disturbs me.

That's all I have to say.

...well, I could say a whole lot more, but then I'll get into a multi-page rant on exactly WHY it disturbs me, wondering why people do this, and then overanalyzing the reasons for why I THINK they do, and then more than likely be wrong. So I'll spare myself and everyone else the torture. :D

...BUT WHY? GOD.

Well, tomorrow is my mommy's birthday! I went out and got her present today, but I won't say what it is in case she reads this... >_>

She asked me to make home-made pizza for tomorrow, so I went out and bought all the ingredients. It's been a while... I hope I can remember everything. I really should have written the instructions down when my dad first showed me, but eh... hindsight.

In other news, I'm writing a bio for an RPG and it's driving me crazy. I, evidently, have terrible writer's block and words just aren't coming... I think this is the worst example of writing I've ever displayed and it's not even done yet! Why is it taking so long?!

I'm just gonna... take a break and play Sims for a while... >_>

Okay, it's been a while since my last wangsty post... Although I'm not sure if this qualifies as wangst, it's equally annoying, so consider that fair warning.

Everyone who's known me for a while should know I love drawing, but I haven't been doing it a lot lately because it depresses me. I'm not good at it. And before you protest, I kindly request that you shut the hel up. I'm not looking for compliments here. I genuinely feel that it's not something I'm good at, therefore I don't do it as often as I used to. The thing is, though, I WANT to... I really miss drawing fanart. So... I should take a class to better myself, right?

Well, here's where I get very stupid. I believe I'm afraid to take drawing and/or anatomy classes.

Yeah, I told you it was stupid.

See, I think I'm scared that I'll take a class... and I'll still suck. At least, for now (and for the last few years... hell, for all of my life), I can hide behind the excuse that I've never had instructions, but what if I suck because I'm just not good at it? I don't want to find out. Isn't that the dumbest thing you've ever heard of? I think it's the most ridiculous, detrimental thing I've ever done to myself. I had so many dreams of doing something art-wise, and I gave it all up because I'm afraid I won't be good at it? I've never even given myself the chance... how stupid am I?

I should be taking classes right now. I could be. Mt. SAC is just around the corner... They have drawing classes all the time.

I probably won't.

Man, why do all the current animated features have big-name celebrities doing all of the voice work? It seems like the movies that have these sorts of casts aren't usually all that great, either. Maybe they know their stories aren't up to par, so they bank on the names of the actors. How stupid is that? I miss when they used to predominantly hire people you'd never heard of before (or lesser known actors), and maybe have one or two--at the most--popular celebrities.

Yeah, I don't know what brought this on. Chalk it up to random, sleepy 5am musings.

..hehe, Tif is so cute when she talks in her sleep.

"Hnf.. s'at our song? ....immediately?"

I don't know, either. XD

Edit: Bryan!! Sadness! I think EMuck is DEAD!! ;-; ALL THE MEMORIES!
