Illusions

I have thought long and deep into the meaning of life. Like most people, I came to the conclusion that I am a miniscule piece of a cosmic chessboard and have no real meaning in life other than to live and eventually die. When you die that is it, no more you. Illusions; like there is a reason we are here; are all around us. Even the way we project ourselves is an illusion. Nobody else knows what we really are inside. Some could have a darkness hiding beneath the light. Perception vary's from person to person and show's that there is no one way to look at things. As many people have said "Giving advice is so much easier than listening to it" or "Practice what you preach". Sometimes you need someone else to tell you what is outside the trench you live in. "Magic" is just the science of illusions, and surprises us to no end.
Good night and terrible Dreams! :)

Rules: The Good and The Bad

Rules are what define human race. We always seem to have to have rules or at least a moral compass pointing a certain direction.
Human's in general have shown that if there is no social structure or there was no form of governing, Things go to hell pretty quickly. Even though we have laws nowadays there are still people who break the law. In every society, In every way of living, there is always at least one person who breaks a rule. Some rules that are broken are insignificant (like not lying) while other's are major (Like not going around murdering lots of people). In Gotham, there is crime everywhere; there is just to much for the police to handle (hence the need of Batman). Gotham also has to deal with all sorts of crazies that bring breaking the law to a whole new level. The prime example being The Joker; A brilliant, Psychotic clown that has filled graveyards. Somehow, he has not been given the death penalty.... Yet. He breaks pretty much every single law in existence, from breaking out of prison (repeatedly) to Jaywalking (Don't Do it Mistah J!).

The concept of Anarchy (No martial law and the people with the biggest guns rule) has been proven to not work. Also, some other concepts work in small scale test's while completely failing in the real world (The biggest one being Communism). Dictatorships leave people upset at not having any power; Same thing goes for overruling countries in the past (We are looking at you, England and America).

Most rules are somewhat reasonable and make commonsense. Abide by the rules of traffic, Don't Steal, Don't Murder, ect... Others are idiotic. For example, my school has a rule that we are not allowed to bring laptops into the school lunchroom (Safety of the Laptops). This rule makes no sense when you are sitting at a table by yourself with nobody sitting at the table next to you and there is no food or drink in the vicinity. This one really irks me. Oh well, I'll be out in a few month's. Anyway, as you all know;
Have a good night and terrible nightmares! :)

My Favorite Movie Line

"I'm surrounded by idiot's" - Scar - The Lion King
I relate to this every day when I go to school. When I am learning about history and the things that people have done in the past I desperately want to knock some sense into their thick skulls. Unfortunately, I am an American; born and raised and have no say over where I live. America has a long never ending list of mistakes going behind them, one of them being Imperialism. We kicked the Native American's off their land, Overthrew Hawaii's queen, went and took over Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Haiti for periods of time as well as threaten Japan with warships if they didn't open their ports... I am terribly ashamed of the actions that people in America's past have committed but I swear that I shall do my best to not make the same mistakes that they did; Also, When I am able to live on my own, I am getting the hell outta Dodge.
Anyways, Good Night and have terrible dreams! :)

A thought on Female Superheros

I recently read the entire Red Robin series (awesome by the way; 10 gold stars) and made some mental notes about these female superheroes. The biggest one that stood out to me were the heels that some of the bat family members wore. If you are running and jumping around on rooftops as well as fighting Idiots on steroids why the hell would you wear heels? I know they put in the excuse "Oh, it's so I can hide my knife and lockpick" or some other reason but they could get you killed! I just bought a pair of heels yesterday and I sure as heck can't run in them, much less go fighting Two-Face. Secondly, A lot of these costumes would do little to nothing to stop bullets, knifes, bombs, etc.... I called my mum up and she said the largest reason standing was that a lot of the people who read the comics are teen males. Sure I get that but seriously?! These are the people who are prepared for anything and are all about not getting killed by the wrong gear (See Little Bird's Vengance on Fanfiction.net for an idea) then why the heck are they wearing gear that could easily cause them to break their ankle. My little rant about Female Bat's wearing heel's is now concluded. THanks for reading and have a good night with terrible nightmares. :)

Some thoughts

As all people know, there is shipping. Shipping people and fictional characters has been going on forever. However, in the case of Batman, there are 2 main shippings. WonderBats (Wonder Woman x Batman)  and CatBat (Cat Woman x Batman). Both are really debatable and it really just depends on the context. In Justice League Unlimited I am all for Wonder Woman and Batman being in a romantic relationship. In that universe, things have never gotten so dark. Meanwhile, in the normal DC universe, I support Batman and Catwoman. 

They make such a cute couple! This is just my opinion and holds no weight on who you ship. Have a good night and terrible dreams!

Nightshade: The Assassin Elf from GURPS (If you don't know what GURPS is; Google it)

This is me trying my hand at drawing online. I was trying to draw one of my characters from a campaign that I did a while back. I found that I prefer my sketchbook but I want to see what other people think of this. Please let me know what you think in the comments! Farewell!

Title: Tori meets a Giant

This is a Black and White charcoal sketch of a future scene in my Fanfiction that I am currently writing. To clarify; That is a giant eyeball behind the tower. It is just an idea so far. I am not sure if I should transfer this and do it with color or should I just keep it B&W. Let me know in the comments. Thanks! F.Y.I. I will probably be uploading a lot of art today.

Things that I have discovered in a 24 hour period that make me annoyed... or not

#1. Being sick sucks. A normal cold is fine. A wonky cold that makes it hard to talk much less sing is even worse. One of the things that I need to survive is my voice. Not to talk but to sing. I sing everywhere and will not stop. I'm a pretty decent one too. But with this cold/virus where I am unable to sing I am going crazy.

#2. Being the geek I am, I decide to watch some shows referenced in some fanfics I have been reading. Standing Examples being Pych and Anime in general. All of the anime's were in Japanese with subtitles (no big deal for me) but..... I read the subtitles for the song to fast! I was cheated out of a full themesong experience due to my brain being able to read at a crazy pace. Why cruel world; Why?!

#3. Watching the sun rise while listing to "Stay Alive" by Glados is a great way to get your day started. I mean, Who doesn't like listening to an AI sing about death and science experiments?


Thats all for now folks! Farewell!

Finished Arkham Asylum Drawing - Take One

   

From Left to Right; Mr. Freeze, The Joker, and The Riddler

This is my colored sketch of my Arkham Asylum Profile in my sketchbook. I plan to make some of the lines more prominent and touch some things up. Both Mister Freeze and the Riddler are drawn in a cartoonish style due to the lack of people who were willing to pose for those two. I actually ended up basing the Joker's Teeth, Nose, and Chin off of my own. A desk mirror helped immensely while I was working on this. It took me about 2 hours to make; from the start to my current place. Some of it was spent sharpening pencils that had run out. Anyway, I will post more updates on this in the future. Farewell!
