Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Spirit Day?

Listening to: A ceiling fan

_{You know, I'm all for stopping bullying.
But LGBT kids aren't the only ones that need help.
What about that kid that everyone makes fun of for being fat or ugly?
Is anyone standing up for that kid?
It's not just about one type of person.
It's about bullying in general.
Don't forget the ones that kill themselves because people remind them every day just how imperfect they are.

Spirit Day?by *MellowMagoo

Journals / Personal

~ComicCreator Oct 20, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Reading through the comments on here, you do have a very good point. It does make me wonder why there aren't any more days dedicated to people who are put through that sort of bullying. I would very much favor a day dedicated to different types of bullying. Like, weight bullying, appearance bullying, all that sort of stuff. It would be a nice change, away from the constant blabber about how the majority of the bullying is going towards the LGBT community.

I, honestly, don't see it being that way. I mean, I may be wrong, but is basically the majority of people able to tolerate the LGBT community now a days? I feel that way, but again, I may be wrong about that. Since I'm normally blind towards the whole bullying world - or at least in the good part of the internet where everyone isn't all "ew, you're gay, go away" I guess it's also cause I can't wrap my head around people being such assholes (or just simply being assholes in general) to people just because of how they are, or how they look.

ANYWAAAAAY. Kinda drifting off from my original point, but yeah. I would definitely love to see a day dedicated to "Anti-Bullying towards overweight kids" and etc. It would be a nice change in the Anti-Bullying community. Someone should make it happen, seriously. All those guys need some love, and need to know that there are people standing up for them.

~Izaki-Ashley Oct 19, 2012 Student General Artist

Well gay kids get one day in the year. There's an entire week dedicated to anti-bullying in general.

*MellowMagoo Oct 19, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

_{But why isn't there one day for fat pride, or ugly pride, or freak pride, or smarty-pants pride? If they can't help it, and they're tortured equally, why can't they have their one day? Can't just single out one group for a pity party and not accept the others. That's like hypocrisy.}

~Izaki-Ashley Oct 19, 2012 Student General Artist

Because the majority of teens being bullied and commiting suicide are gay. A group called GLAD whom are against gay bullying made spirit day. It's not hypocritical that we get spirit day. It's only really recognized by those in the gay community and allies.

*MellowMagoo Oct 19, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

_{It seems hypocritical when everyone around me or on the internet communities celebrates it like there's no tomorrow. There isn't a day created by ANYONE to single out any other source of teen suicide. ONLY gay kids, and it seems pretty unfair to me. I've put research time into it, and for some interesting reason everyone seems to associate bullying with being gay, as if other kids aren't falling victim to it. It's completely ridiculous, almost as if people would rather run to the rescue of the gay community than that of an ugly person or someone of another orientation. EVERYONE deserves a chance to be remembered.}

~Izaki-Ashley Oct 19, 2012 Student General Artist

The thing is that everyone knows about bullying when it's to someone who is called ugly or fat, the point of spirit day is just to show support for the gay community. There is a national anti-bullying day for general bullying. There is also an entire month dedicated to stopping all bullying. Just because a group who is working to stop gay bullying has started an annual day of remembrance for those who committed suicide or is bullied for being gay, does not make it unfair. All bullying should be recognized and stopped. But it's not unfair that spirit day is held. About 80% of kids who are bullied are gay.

=BlackfyreValyrian Oct 19, 2012

Thank you for saying this, coz honestly I think people forget that. Yes, there are people every day that commit suicide for being made fun of for being gay, or bisexual or transgender and so on, but what about people who are tormented for the things they like? The way they dress? Their weight? There is much more to this than people even realize and I'm glad you came out with this journal (you saved my lazy arse the trouble yayyy!). <3

_{Pfft, you're welcome xD}

~Loner29 Oct 19, 2012

:/ I hate bullying and how others react. Every parent is going react the same way and blame who is wrong. Suicide, anxiety, people cutting themselves, and other things are caused by not only the bully themself, but is also caused by the parents. For when it comes to it, they do nothing to stop it before it gets worse and when something happens, either the fault being the bully, or the one being bullied, the parents blame the bullied, for not coming to them, for not sticking up for themselves, or going out of they're way to say that it was they're child's fault and saying that they were the ones that started it and that they should grow up or should be more mature. Bullying is an excuse used by too many :/ and it's not just kids that use that said excuse and yes, i've had my trial's with bullying, so i know what i'm talking about.

=undeadandroid Oct 19, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Ahhhh, childhood. That was quite a rough patch. I do not pity the deceased, your their suffering is over. My heart goes out to the child who is miserable but would never commit suicide because of how angry people get over the issue. That was me for a few years. I rode it out, and now I just don't care what people think of me, so it's no longer a problem. But it hurts a lot worse to continue to exist for the people you care about while enduring scorn from peers (and also secretly from those who vindictively carry anger over the topic of suicide). I remember feeling the worst when my parents found out I was cutting myself. They thought I was doing it to kill, so they constantly called me selfish. I was forced to visit psychologists and therapists who only served to exacerbate the situation. But all that just sort of faded away. I calloused over and quit caring about my problems. As far as I'm concerned it was only a matter of time. And necessary. I needed to toughen up.

Anyway, great point.
