Because of the pose, all I van think of is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DZZ5LpwO-An4%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&feature=youtu.be&v=ZZ5LpwO-An4&gl=US
Now I just want to do this to all of my characters. XDOne sky, one blaaaarghghahrhgh.
I love. The internet.
Me too apparently. o.OPalmer sat on me… :|
Slapped to death by Scarlet.
…That’s not on the list, but it should be.
I would be shot by Hojo, wouldn’t I? XD
Basically just uploading this to prove I assembled this costume before I sell/give it away. The sad thing is that I really wanted to do this costume ever since Slayers first came out (while I was in high school). I wound up wearing the costume for an afternoon and never touched it again.
Fun Fact: Since it was a multi-genre convention, I was declared “Queen of the Klingons” and bought beers by them for this costume… I have NO idea why.
I know that the photo isn’t great, but my good camera decided that it hated me and quit working, so I had to take it with my phone camera. :(
Things not mentioned on photo:
* Cloak and shrug made by Sarah (Spazz) Bryant
* Right pauldron got somewhat squished under a computer in a move (boxes don’t protect that well).
* No wig because I had actually died my hair to a natural ginger… which worked marvelously.
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has looked at tomorrow’s “Internet blackout” in opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)—and it sees only a “gimmick,” a “stunt,” “hyperbole,” “a dangerous and troubling development,” an “irresponsible response,” and an “abuse of power.”
“Wikipedia, reddit, and others are going dark to protest the legislation, while sites like Scribd and Google will also protest. In response, MPAA chief Chris Dodd wheeled out the big guns and started firing the rhetoric machine-gun style.
“Only days after the White House and chief sponsors of the legislation responded to the major concern expressed by opponents and then called for all parties to work cooperatively together, some technology business interests are resorting to stunts that punish their users or turn them into their corporate pawns, rather than coming to the table to find solutions to a problem that all now seem to agree is very real and damaging.”
Can I interrupt for a moment? Thanks. When you complain that opponents didn’t “come to the table to find solutions”, do you mean that we didn’t give NINETY-FOUR MILLION DOLLARS to congress like the MPAA? Or do you mean that we didn’t come to the one hearing that Lamar Smith held, where opponents of SOPA were refused an opportunity to comment? Help me out, here, Chris Dodd, because I’m really trying hard to understand you.
“It is an irresponsible response and a disservice to people who rely on them for information and use their services. It is also an abuse of power given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today. It’s a dangerous and troubling development when the platforms that serve as gateways to information intentionally skew the facts to incite their users in order to further their corporate interests.”
Oh ha ha. Ho. Ho. The MPAA talking about “skewing the facts to incite” anyone is just too much.
“A so-called “blackout” is yet another gimmick, albeit a dangerous one, designed to punish elected and administration officials who are working diligently to protect American jobs from foreign criminals.”
Except for the part where this is completely false, it’s a valid point.
“It is our hope that the White House and the Congress will call on those who intend to stage this “blackout” to stop the hyperbole and PR stunts and engage in meaningful efforts to combat piracy.”
Riiiiiiight. Protesting to raise awareness of terrible legislation that will destroy the free and open Internet is an abuse of power, but buying NINETY-FOUR MILLION DOLLARS worth of congressional votes is just fine.
I’m so disappointed in Chris Dodd. He was a pretty good senator, wrote some bills (like Dodd/Frank) that are genuinely helping people, and is going to be on the wrong side of every argument as head of the MPAA. What a wasted legacy.
Blink is a graphic novel about Matt, a boy with peculiar powers that wind up trapping him in a comic created by his jealous girlfriend, Amanda. With the help of Julia -a girl with similar powers -he must fight his way back to the real world.
Because Dragonmun Studios started off as a collection of individuals that produced comics as a hobby, a massive collaborative effort like this is way outside of our normal business model. Making sure that the artists are paid is a huge challenge as the funds for our existing comics go into funding those very same comics. Anything extra would require that we either take on additional employment or ask for help -as we are doing.

I present this for Lyn, who once said, “Chris Evans seems like a total douche.”

Christmas totally snuck up on me this year. It seems like only yesterday I was trying to find a Halloween costume for Ivy, when suddenly! Christmas music! Now I see houses buried alive in tiny lights and I think that there was a turkey in the mix (via This the season…)
