Mrrph...

I'm in a really pissy mood for some odd reason today... might just be the fact it's morning, but it's kinda evident I'm a little... not happy... on that new pic I posted. Hrm.

The great thing that isn't even cheering me up is I'm getting the entire Gensomaden Saiyuki series with my own money. 0_o

Maybe it's because of summer homework. That bites ass for serious.

I'm still curious as to why my Irkens still get more love than my original art. 0_o

I'm not demanding people to fave everything, original and fanbase, but it makes me curious. It's a trend with a lot of artists, it seems. Some people have amazing original art that don't get much love compared to this sketch of an Irken they have, which can get over 20 faves while their hard-worked original barely makes it over 10.

Just a stupid observation, no demands or nuthin. Just thought I'd point out the trend with other artists too.

And.... yeah, I'm back!

Oh yeah, I'm finally playing mah favorite instrument. The bass guitar. 8D

I'm a happy camper.

And and and... AND... I'm playing Paint It Black and Paranoid and Blitzkrieg Bop and Teenage Wasteland and an original compisition and and and another piece that's really weird. XD

And I'm done with my requests, just gotta scan them.

And I started my 100 theme list. I'm workin on 003 - Water now, so YAY. Iraa's finally working on her own creation!

AND.... I actually drew up some RAPR.... wow. Toldja you could kick out the enthusiasm for a fandom, but you can't kick out the yaoi.

Mmm the yaoi.

Ahahah, scraping a two-story two-hundred year old house is harder than it sounds. @_@

Anyways, I'm surprised that some of you actually responded to me announcing that I'd be dropping out of the fandom. No, that wasn't a joke either. However... I'm not leaving it entirely. I should've clarified that.

I'm taking a break.

I'm still drawing it, but not as feverishly as I once did. I'm still writing it, not as deeply as before. Hell, I'll still RP it, but not as seriously as I once took it to be. I mean, Invader Zim was not meant to be a serious show, so I can't really see how I can take it as seriously anymore. XD;

Hey, I'll still draw it on requests or trades, but free-will... that'll be a little harder to do... unless it's RAPR. That's gonna be the one thing you'll still see me drawing pretty spontaniously. XDD Iraa needs to do yaoi in her fandoms dammit.

And... oh yes, I will still post my requests I have... that being Radi's Silia, Coco's Coco-Luci, and Crys's four-way. Yes, I said four-way.

I think that's another thing I needed a break from. Somehow in this fandom, either you become quite child-like and stupid or serious and perverted... there's like no other road. @_@ Dayumn I shoulda saw that.

Because I'm doing this on my sister's computer, it means we'll be taking it down soon so she can move it. I figure I'll say one more thing or... two more or something.

Okay, besides the fact I'll be gone for a few weeks...

I'm outgrowing Invader Zim. The fandom's being squished away, and when/if I get back onto my normal computer and have Furcadia, who knows if I'll be even loafing around Blues anymore.

Granted, I made some fun little characters as Irkens, and I might keep them that way because converting them is gonna be difficult, but... a few I already kinda have (Mela was MADE to have a human character, thank you).

I'm drawing Irkens still, but it feels forced, so I'm just gonna do the requests I have that are Irkens and then wrap that up until I feel I can draw them again without feeling like I'm pushing myself to. I never ever want to feel that way for a long period of time. >

And there are ten things that piss me off about the fandom.

1. The goddamn drama
2. Copycats
3. Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus are easy to come by
4. Inner circles within inner circles
5. When you start becoming popular (and this is for the fresh popular people), you snub everyone but the other popular people.
6. You start out with all your friends and it's fun, but then they find something else and end up leaving. [Well, I've finally done it too.]
7. People that hate the popular people and end up trying to frame them for something else. [See, I am actually QUITE happy for not being popular.]
8. Invader characters.
9. Invader Zim x OC pairings. >
10. People who draw only for pageviews and not for their own enjoyment. [Never do I want to cross this thresh hold.]

Okay, well, now that that's done...

I'm heading back to my break and helping my sister with her packing. They're probably thinking what a lazy asshole I'm being.

Final note - I'm not really angry at anyone. To be honest, maybe a little sad and disappointed that some people aren't enjoying themselves with what they're doing, but they're forcing themselves to continue anyways.

I know I've said it before, but I guess I can say it again and again but they won't listen.

Just stop. If you aren't having fun, then don't do it. You can go cold turkey, it's easier than cutting drugs off.

Summing it up... I'm getting out of the Invader Zim fandom finally and even though I'll still doodle an Irken here and there, it won't be often enough for some of you, so if you find the fact of me changing subject is highly disappointing, stop watching me.

You wanna be angry, go ahead and comment away. I won't be able to read it for the next few weeks.

See you guys!
