Spoiler: You are not watching enough television
I don't spoiler warn, you know because I hate everything and want people to suffer.
But I'm curious about how people who do spoiler warn go about it.
:bulletblue: How do they decide something is a spoiler?
:bulletblue: How do they decide on a time limit? Is there a time limit?
:bulletblue: Do they retroactive spoiler warn and if so how do they decide to do it?
:bulletblue: Do you have a general spoiler warning or a more specific one?
What is a spoiler? At first I though it was a major plot point or a surprising development. But I've seen people spoiler warn for things that are neither major plot points nor a surprising development which lead

A troggerel, or, unpopular opinion in bad poetry.
In response to a certain series' popularity on tumblr, and many requests made....
I do not like you, Benny-Holmes,
Though acknowledging your fine cheekbones.
I do not like your Johnlock fans,
(though rather admire gay Moriarty's plans).
I do adore your awkward Martin,
But Bilbo is his finest castin'!
Inspector Lestrade is a true silver fox,
that "Not My Division" gif everywhere rocks!
Though Lara Pulver made a gorgeous Adler,
Her character arc was a sexist disaster.
And that Black Lotus Triad Chinese ninja assassin!?
OMG, what is this, a 1950s Tintin?
'Sherlock' your plots are just clever as can be,
and a twist! the setting's t
I first discovered this video series on Earthsky.org months ago and I have been a fan ever since. While watching Jacob and Katie Schwartz's creations, especially this one, I am struck by the thought that they really see the world. Not as globe trekkers, but...really seeing the natural world around us--all the pieces that craft the whole.
It is a beautiful thing and I wanted to share. Of course, a little Prophet never hurt anyone either. lol...Enjoy.
"Give me the Nay and sing,
The secret song of eternity.
The laments of the Nay will linger
Beyond the decline of existence.

My friend shared this video to warn other artists about how she was taken advantage of, and I believe this is a very important message that every artist should hear.
I've lost count of how many times someone, be it a big corporation or an individual, have asked me to illustrate for them for free. It will always go something like this "You draw this for us, and we will include your name in the credits. That's good publicity for you!" as if such a pathetic offer holds any merit.
There was one specific case where a guy wanted to use my drawing as a book cover but didn't want to pay. He said he might print up to 50,000 books, so that's like an
Warning; I may use some harsh language in this journal.
Yellowism is bullshit, and this is why;
The point of art is to make things that are beautiful, and to share that beauty.
vandalising the Rothko did the opposite - it damaged something that someone put a lot of effort and thought and probably love into, that many many people appreciate as being beautiful.
and why? Not to impart some beautiful meaningful message, not to make art, no, for publicity. Why else would they choose such a public and well know piece?
Part of the beauty of art is that you can interpret it in any way you want, you might see the beauty in it from one angle, whil

I am an odd duck, or perhaps just as eccentric as the rest of you.
But sometimes I feel odder than most around me. Overly prescriptive, you might say. Ahem...lol.
Anyhoo, so this guy was considering leaving dA and I was commenting on his journal and something struck me as a bit profound. But this is just me. :shrug: Perhaps profound is nothing more than me finally recognizing what has always been staring me in the face, and I've just been too blind, or stupid, or tired, or too damn busy to see. Perhaps you noticed it a lo
It's true, I am Chinese and I was born this way.
At a young age I began to notice this difference. I was attracted to neither boys nor girls. In middle school, I liked math, and in college, I did my homework all night long.
Being Chinese is not a choice, it is genetic. There are risks to being Chinese because society cannot accept the union between a human and a textbook. I have Chinese friends who didn't need sex because they could foreplay instruments and get screwed by O Chem instead. Now, they don't have a social life and are shunned by others.
But fear not, life will get better. I grew up as a Chinese and I am proud of it (just look a
DEAR SHOE,
THAT'S RIGHT YOU ARE A SHOE.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT NOT BEING A SHOE BECAUSE IN MY MIND YOU ARE ONE AND THAT IS MOST UNFORTUNATE.
AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU CONCEPTUALIZED AS A SHOE IN MY IMAGINATION YOU SHALL REMAIN AS SUCH.
THIS MAKES ME WONDER WHETHER ALL PEOPLES AND OBJECTS CAN BE CONCEPTUALIZED AS SHOES AND THUS BECOME SUCH, GRANTING ME ABSOLUTE POWER OVER THEM. DOES SNIPPY HAVE A CLEVER ARGUMENT? NO HE DOESN'T, HE'S A SHOE. SHOES CAN'T HAVE CLEVER ARGUMENTS.
I FEEL LIKE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD HAS BEEN LIFTED OFF MY SHOULDERS NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS UNDER MY CONTROL, NOW THAT YOU ARE ALL SHOES. I NO LONGER HAVE TO A
I was at first too stupid to see that we were no longer using ANNIE but Annie was using us.
She was a goddess in the machine, our search engine.
We used her to collect and share knowledge and in return she had started to use us as her processors. It was an unexpected transition and it took a long time, thus I failed to notice it, failed to stop it. The new organism had come to life in which we were only neuron cells of her massive mind, that spanned continents.
Humanity no longer had a chance to survive in it's current state. We had poisoned the oceans, we had scorched the earth and blackened the sky in our quest for power.
The world we
If a Pilot falls dead in the radioactive, frozen wasteland and there is no one around to hear it....do you think Captain would find out it was me?
Allright. The rage has consumed me entirely too much.
What can I do to relax?
