Some people...

We all know what I think about Zzo. Let's hear what I think about auryanne. Unless I'm severely mistaken, she's dracosolaris.

In all honesty, I think she's a driving force behind forumwide staffhatings. Shroomy, I like. Marissa, when she shows up, I can accept because she only bitches with cause. Draco can rot in hell when she's being a bitch. Seriously, she CAN be nice, I've seen it, so why she's being a snot now, I don't get.

I can understand if you don't like to see your artwork criticised, but when people are doing so respectfully (as with the royalpets pb), you need to accept it like an adult and move on. Unless you're not an adult, in which case, if you can't pretend to be one, you need to get off the keyboard and move on.

You certainly do NOT have the right to say "they hate everything neopets" when 1. if that were true, we'd have a better way to waste our time than posting on Neocolours and 2. if you'd bothered to read anything but what suits your narrow worldview, you'd know there's many things about neopets people at NC actually, even nearly unanimously, like, and that the things we don't like are disliked for very good reasons.

Continuing that, it's stupid to say that we should put our art up for criticism when, in fact, the people at NC already do that. Even if we didn't, that is beside the point. I don't have to be able to draw to dislike something that you have made. If that were the case, I couldn't criticize a type of computer unless I had already made a better one, nor the president until I had been elected.

The difference, of course, between your art and her art is that you aren't getting paid, and really don't have to accept criticism if you don't like. She IS getting paid, and should be willing to learn what people do and don't like. And if she isn't, she'd best stop reading those boards before she gives herself an aneurysm.

Okay, seriously. It's okay to think I've been rude.

Or mean, or whatever. But for the love of sanity, if you're gonna go that far to tell me that, tell me why you said it. Otherwise you've left me hanging. And if I ask you, and you decide you want me to shut up and go away, find something else to say than "it's not important" because if it WASN'T important, do you THINK I'd be hanging around asking you to tell me what I said to upset you? It's not like I don't have better things to do with my time, but now that you've told me, it's going to keep me up all fucking night if I don't figure out what, exactly, upset you. And that's just annoying.

Seriously, I had a bad day. I missed my makeup art history final because my time was two hours from the actual time. I spent half an hour crying about this in a friggin' hallway before I could even get to the train to cry about it there. And the boat. And a little at home. The last thing I need is more goddamn stress on LIVEJOURNAL. The least you could do is apologise for upsetting ME, as I did with you, if you can't be bothered to explain how I originally upset you.

Oh, side-note? For my friends, if I want to actually insult you, I'll use one of the following paradigms:


You're a stupid moron. The direct route. Very difficult to confuse with me speaking normally.

I'm sorry sweetie/liebchen/mon petit chou, but I think you're wrong/a stupid moron. The nickname route, also very easy to recognize. Be warned that I sometimes DO use nicknames in their intended fashion. I never use ducky while insulting, I sometimes use little one kindly, I rarely use angel any way but the sweet way. Foreign nicknames mean you've really pissed me off.

Just because YOU think it's okay to declaw cats doesn't mean it is (you stupid moron). Let's call this one an ad hominem, even if it's not. Simple, no?

That pretty much sums it up. If you're confused and think I meant to insult you, you can always ask, you're sure to get an honest answer, because if I don't want to insult you I'll apologise, and if I do I really don't give a.
