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:

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest

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?)

Journal Entry: Sat Aug 20, 2011, 9:46 PM

_{Hello everyone and thanks for reading! August is almost over and so is summer. Too quick! I'm gonna miss it. ; A ;

The school year has begun for most people in my area. I hope the teachers aren't working you too hard. |D My classes begin the upcoming Tuesday. I got a Psychology class and an online English class! But I do hope my teachers are nice. I also hope I can make at least one friend in college. :3

Commissions and trades are closed for the time being since I'll probably be swamped with school work for the next week or so. However, I'll re-open them as soon as I've got time. I'll probably take around 3-5 slots at a time.

People to Commission [if they're open]

- 210 for the picture I wanted

- 50 for a one-shot

- 60 for a chibi

Total: 320

Moving on to the next topic...

I don't know if anyone answered the poll I made not too long ago but I'm wondering about updating my dA account as well as my Tumblr.

Most likely I'll be copying almost all my fanfics and such - including trades and commissions - to my Tumblr account. They'll be in a separate blog and it'll be open for everyone to read. I was also thinking of getting another dA account since I don't really like this username that much. However, I'd probably still keep this account for the sake of keeping it. No real sensible reason. XD

So what do you guys think? Should I do it not? I would love to hear your ideas. :3

Well, that's all for now! Thanks for reading and have a great day/night!

Chapter 7

While the maids continued to try to comfort you, a guard walked into the room. "[Villain 1's Name]-sama wishes to see you, [Your Name]-hime."

The maid with (Put first lady's hair color here.) hair asked, "Do you wish for us to accompany you, [Your Name]-hime?"

"No, I'll be fine," you replied quietly. You got out of bed and went to your closet to get dressed, picking out a emerald green kimono adorned with white and orange flowers.

Once finished, you followed the guard to the throne room. [Villain 1's Name] sat on his throne while [Villain 2's Name] stood beside him, smirking.

Spiders"Fear is the lengthened shadow of ignorance." - Unknown

Loud flurries of screams echoed through the house, startling Yusuke and Kurama. Hurrying from their rooms, they rushed into the kitchen, where their friend Alexa, also known as Lexi, was standing on a chair and shaking tremendously.

"Alexa, what's wrong?" Kurama asked, worried that she might have hurt herself.

The teary-eyed, dark-skinned girl shook on her chair as she pointed a finger to the right. Following her finger, the redhead and Yusuke noticed a brown spider standing in the corner.

Yusuke and Kurama were quiet and stared back at the megane.

"A spider?"

Lexi nodded, comedic

A begrudging England awoke from his supposedly relaxing nap when he heard the sounds of yapping, followed by a series of rapid knocking, just outside his front door. He grumbled to himself as he trudged to the door.

When he opened the door, he muttered out an angry "What do you want?". In front of him was his little brother America...with a new pet. A poodle, to be exact. And it was especially fluffy.

"...Question. What is that...?"

It seemed like a normal autumn night in the Wammy House. Two of the Wammy housemates, L and Sakura, sat inside eating some bakery-bought fruit tarts.

Sakura had searched for every opportunity to be alone with L; like any other girl, she had a crush on him but he didn't seem to notice. He was too busy hunting down the criminal Kira to even pay attention.

The black-haired detective sat in his chair, quietly munching one of the cherry tarts on his plate. He looked up at Sakura who stared at him dreamily and blinked indifferently.

Sakura was thrown to the floor of a frigid, damp, pitch-dark room. She opened her eyes slowly, hearing the killer's repeated fit of laughter.

"I will be successful at last..." he whispered crazily, laughing again to himself. "Today is the day that L will surrender to me! And I'll kill him...!"

His red eyes were lit with psychotic ecstasy. Turning his gaze to the struggling Sakura, he could see her full name as well as her death date above her head. Again, he chuckled when he saw her glare at him.

The story behind my little sister June's first love is one of my favorites to hear. It's like watching an old kiddie romance movie - the memory is still fresh in my head...

It started back when we were walking home from school - she was in the sixth grade while I was a sophomore in high school. When I came to pick her up that day, she looked more drained than ever. Assuming she was tired, I merely waved as I ran over to greet her.

"Hey, June! How was school?"

"Crappy."

I frowned. "Why do you say

The day of Yukito's visit came by rather quickly. June was more nervous than I had ever expected her to be. When we arrived at the airport that Friday morning, she was shaking in her shoes.

"June? Are you sure you'll be okay?" I asked for what seemed like the umpteenth time. "You look a little pale."

She shook her head again, sighing deeply at my constant questioning. "Really, Sis. I said I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Thinking it would be best to stop asking, I changed the subject. I turned my brown eyes to the crowd and asked, "So…what does he look

A One-sided Affection"True love is when you shed a tear and still want him." - Unknown

It was a bright summer afternoon by the sea where the mermaids would gather together...but they were all underwater, enjoying their lives and swimming. One mermaid, Akina, played by herself.

She swam through the sapphire-colored sea as she collected seashells and played with the dolphins. Her life was alright, just as normal as the other mermaids...except for one thing. She couldn't speak. That was one thing Akina could, and would, never do. She wanted to sing and talk about the world around her, but her disability took that dream of hers, so she decided to just be content.

A bright, white-golden light almost blinded 16 year-old Yuri. Squinting her wide brown eyes, she smiled as they gradually adjusted to the sun's light.

Surrounding her was a large forest full of colorful flowers and other signs of life. Yuri giggled to herself and knelt down to embrace them. The bright petals tickled her cheeks as if welcoming her with open arms.

"I could stay like this all day," Yuri whispered, holding some of the loose flowers to her bosom.

Being a demon her entire life, she had been engulfed in nothing but darkness and sorrow. S

"Hurry, Ulquiorra! We'll be late!"

Orihime called her husband from the living room as she tapped her foot. She was impatiently waited for him to finish dressing. Their son Sora stood by his mother's side, holding her hand as he blinked silently.

"Mama, will the beach people not let us if we're late?" he asked as his silver eyes stared up at the ginger-haired woman.

She smiled and patted his head sweetly. "No, not at all! You don't need to worry about a thing, Sora!"

The small boy nodded as he giggled. When he saw his father walk out of the master bedroom, he

Why does everyone start on Tuesday? I wanna do that instead of jumping in at the beginning of the week.

But the good news is that this semester I have two on-campus classes and no classes at all on Fridays. Sooo three day weekends for me, heck yeah!

Also, I hope you enjoy your Psych class. I've never had one I didn't enjoy despite some of them being challenging.

And good luck in branching out in college - some people just pick up friends super easy and others it takes a little while, but they're much more intimate than regular high school ones, as others have told me. :3

I'm excited for you to start, so lemme know how it goes after you get a feel for it!

=Yumiko12345 Aug 21, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

_{LOL. I actually wanted to start at the beginning of the week so I'd have something to do on Monday. But I don't mind it starting on Tuesday. It's like a four-day weekend for me since I don't have classes on Friday, too! |D Congrats on having only two classes this semester! You go, girl!

Thanks! I really hope I enjoy it, too. I keep hearing so many good things about it. At least I don't have to take frickin' Physics again. Ugh. Dx I'll be really excited to make friends with at least one or two people. Maybe I could find someone to carpool with if I can't learn to drive by next year. XDD

Oh, don't worry. I'll be sure to go on and on about my first week in college. ^{Random question but do you have a Skype?}}

~SubtleQuirks Aug 21, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Aww yeaahhh! And actually, I'm taking five classes. Three of them are on campus, one of which doesn't start until the end of the semester. The other two are online. So yeah, full schedule but a lot of time to get shit done (hopefully). I'll be looking forward to not having to wake up so damn early on Fridays...

Dude. Yes. D: Physics. My advisor wanted me to take Biology again and I was like uh...NOPE. So instead that was why I picked Biopsych to fill that void. My science for this semester is Astronomy, my very first class with a good friend of mine. It should be pretty sweet. I hope you do find someone to carpool, that'd be super neat.

Ahahaha, awesome. I'm all ears.

And no actually, I don't...I know it's downloaded on my laptop, which my bro uses, but I don't have an account or anything. >.<

=Yumiko12345 Aug 21, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

_{Oh, I see. Then you're way more busy than I am. I hope you get 'em all done this semester. The teachers seem to like working you to the bone. D: I'm glad that I only have two on campus and the other online. At least I don't have to part with my beloved laptop...yet. XD Heck yeah! Friday's the off-day for both of us~

Cool! Astronomy sounds like an awesome class to be in. I'm sure you'll have a blast learning about the stars and such. LOL, yeah. Carpooling with someone would definitely free my parents up. They wouldn't have to worry about my driving me anywhere. But still it would be awesome if I could drive myself around. Just so they won't have a heart attack 'bout me jumping in the car with other people. xD

:3 All right, that's fine. I didn't know you and your bro shared a laptop.}

~SubtleQuirks Aug 21, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Oh jeez, I sure hope so. P: I don't need any shitty grades so getting my crap together and getting through these next two semesters in one piece is all I'm aiming for. Ahaha. But yeah, that schedule you have is nice. It also sets a great pace instead of having tons of classes on campus (with weird hours). It can get boring just hanging out with a more than hour break between classes sometimes.

Aww yeahh~ I've actually never taken an astronomy class before so I hope it's fun. One of my friends going to the uni did it and she said it was one of the easiest classes ever. I hope it's the same for me, lol. I'm just so done with core electives I want to get out of it. Hng. But, good luck on getting the driving thing sorted out, I'm sure with your smart noggin you'll get it down.

Haha, yup. Well, actually, the laptop is mine. The school gave it to me for free. But I already have a desktop in my room and he doesn't have any kind of computer so I'm lending it to him.

=Yumiko12345 Aug 22, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

_{LOL. |D I wish you the best of luck. I'm cheerin' for you, girl! Yeah, it can get boring having to wait for the next class to start, especially if you don't have any assignments or they're all finished for the time being. "Having nothing to do" is the last I want right now.

I'm sure it'll be a fun and easy class for ya. You'd get to learn the constellations' history and that sound pretty fun. You're smart, Moni-chan, so I'm sure you'll pass it with flying colors~ ;D And I'm sure I'll figure out the driving issue soon. |D

Aww, that was nice of you to lend it to him. :3 It's also pretty cool that the school gives you a computer free of charge! That would definitely help me if I needed a computer this semester and didn't have the money to get one. What kind is it and do you have to give it back once you're done with school?}
