What's your favorite kind of pie?

Unless cheesecake counts, I couldn't possibly pick Pumpkin, key lime, pecan, you name it. I've never tasted a pie I didn't love. 

What about you?

I'm a key lime pie person, but for proper "sliced fruit/fruit chunk" type pies I'm a big fan of apple. Not Cherry, surprisingly. I'm a very bad Michigander.

I've never actually had cherry pie. But I'm not the biggest fan of cherries, so I'd imagine I wouldn't like them in a pie either. Is Michigander seriously the right term for that? It sounds really funny in my head. Then again, most things do

Michigander isn't a formal term, but we're more apt to say it here than Michiganian. And we're a major cherry producer, so it's almost like, kinda wrong that I don't like cherry pie. Nevermind that I'm from the other side of the state from where the cherries grow.

Yeah, I like Michigander better. Sounds much more fun. The only thing I really know about Michigan is that it's super cold in the northern parts, and me and the cold do not get along all that well. Missouri has much shorter winters.

Missouri? Oh, that's cool. I think I have family down that way. 

You're pretty much dead on about MIchigan. The upper peninsula and about everything from the web of the thumb up (except a tiny strip on the west coast) is super cold and snowy in the winter and super hot and humid in the summer. There's a reason there's a town in our state called Hell! I've heard the weather in Missouri is pretty mild, uh, tornado alley proximity aside.

Tornados really aren't too much of a problem... most of the time? It's become more of an issue the past few years, actually. But yeah, mild weather for the most part in Missouri. It does fluctuate a lot, though. As in, the biggest snowstorm of the winter followed up the next day with 70 degree weather. It likes to keep us on our toes

Thank you. That's one of the highest compliments I could be paid. I really try to take the things that make me like stories in the first place and frame them in new ways when I write, so it's nice to hear that.

I don't think other people mean to disrespect the characters, exactly, though. I suspect with a lot of writers their understanding of the characters is not very nuanced, often due to immaturity or inexperience. Even the ones who know they're off and choose to be that way often do so because of their ideas about what could have been, and quite a bit of great art has been made that way alongside the stuff that makes us roll our eyes as readers.

As for the watch, it's no problem. I look forward to seeing what you're up to. Thank you for all the faves and compliments.

Oh hey!

I actually have a link to my AO3 in my Info box, but here's the link if you need it: archiveofourown.org/users/flam…

I actually don't have anything on my AO3 that isn't here on dA in my folders, and I haven't put all my work here up on AO3. I forget how far behind I am with my MCU stuff, but I'll likely fix that later this week. So don't worry, if you're looking for my work you haven't missed anything by not finding that. Thank you so much for your interest, though!

I think you have to be a premium member to make the custom boxes on your profile, and I'm not sure, but you might also need to be a premium member to use the thumb codes for those three stamps I have in there. Try fiddling around on your page to see if you can one, make custom boxes, and two, put thumbs in your descriptoin on the profile box!

OK, so, first up, I'm American and I'm certified to teach in America. I don't know a lot about the particular freedom of speech legislation in either Japan or Australia. But...

Banning anime or manga in the US outright is impossible because of the first amendment on free expression. Things that have certain kinds of sexual content can be "banned" because of obscenity laws, but that only covers certain kinds of distribution. You can also keep things off broadcast TV, but you can show almost anything on cable or satellite. But the US isn't relevant here. It's just all I know. 

Australia has much tougher rules on violent and obscene content and fewer protections on free speech than the U.S. because of the way their constitution is set up. I am not qualified to give details beyond that. If you are worried about the availability of things in Australia you need to contact international lawyers or Australian free speech activists for information. If you're worried anime is under attack in its home country of Japan, you need to seek out experts on Japan.

Sorry I couldn't be much help.

no thats okay, you've been a big help and i wasn't concerned with it affecting Australia. last time i checked our government isn't concerned so i'm not worried, it's my friends in america that are anime fans that i was concerned about. glad to know it can't be done though ^^ i found the petition but something didn't seem, is George bush still a congressman?

Thanks! You don't need to be in awe of us beta testers though; we're just premium members who opt into beta testing. Any premium member can do it! If you get a premium, you can be a beta tester, too. 

And thanks for the compliment on my art. I worked really hard on all my Pokemon stuff, but I owe most of my success to the Art Academy games, which taught me all the things my art classes in school never did. Now they have a "Pokemon Art Academy" game coming out, too. XD But I didn't have that, I just had the regular lessons, and I had to apply what I learned to Pokemon.

You're right that practice makes perfect. I took a quick peek at your gallery and you have a lot more skill than you let on! It can be hard to transition from humans to Pokemon, and I'm not fully comfortable with my progress there, but I found what helped me most was learning about construction shapes. Keep working on it, and I'm sure you'll surpass me easily. My art teacher in high school more or less told me I was hopeless, so if you have even a modicum of talent, a little hard work will take you far.

My favorite Pokemon is actually Mewtwo. It's hard to tell because I like Starmie a lot, too, but... I assume yours is Pikachu?

Pandachu123 In reply to DecepticonFlamewar [2014-07-29 21:16:27 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I do, but there isn't a Pokemon I truly dislike. I just like some more than others. ^^
Mewtwo is an amazing Pokemon. I didn't like when they changed it to a female in the last movie it was in... I grew up with Mewtwo being male and Mew sounding female from the first movie.
Also, I'm very excited for Pokemon Art Academy, too, and I hope I'll be able to get it when it comes out. It'll really help make my drawings more professional, since the best I've got is the Comic Workshop on the 3DS, and I also appreciate the compliment on my art as well. Stuff like that really boosts my confidence. I don't know why, but I don't have a lot of self-confidence when it comes to certain things.
