Niekol never fought any of her own battles, and would often drop hints about so and so person being so mean to her, could Beth help her find soooome way to resolve it? This could involve plot points in the notebooks going to include original characters who just happened to have nonparticipating real life counter parts (like me, oh happy birthday me!) Niekol, like I said, was very much into her own little world of what original was, and what constituted direct copywriting. I eventually got Internet at home and could easily see that most of her work ::was:: TFI (totally from internet). Bring this to the group's attention made her even more determined to say, No, this was her work, because the eye shape was different, and the fingers in the this stance are tucked in farther than slightly curled out. And that stance? Well, obviously it's the spirit of a dragon, not an elf, that is being shown by that sketch. Since the other girls liked having their characters drawn doing things like holding a bike, holding a knapsack, holding a sword, or holding one another’s character, they didn't press her too much on it. She had an unhealthy obsession with a dinosaur rock band like Areosmith or Pink Floyd, and by the time we graduated high school (most of us), she was getting into BDSM, wearing collars in public, and other poo poo. Oh, and she had gotten her first boyfriend, Lenny (name changed to protect the unfortunate). This made Beth really mad because obviously I had come between them through some bizarre-rear end reasoning of her own (we both were in the advanced classes, so it was some kind of intellectual warfare, I'm sure), and it resulted in us having a physical fight in our senior year. She instigated and started it, I was way too worried about anything affecting my college acceptances to finish it properly. Ah, and the Harry Potter obsession. I've read the books, I enjoyed them, and I liked the community that built around them, but I absolutely hate the fans. Niekol was one of them. She took pride in being a Slytherin, wearing a green and silver scarf that had been poorly knitted by *someone* and claiming Snape as her dungeon buddy. Yeah, baby, Snape was her love slave in her basement! Whoa, she was going to show that Slytherin what was what. ::eyeroll:: ah, the BDSM. She's, I'm sure, the only bondage fairy at the New York Renaissance Faire. She sells roses in the summer, and last I heard, was finally attending big people school after languishing in a community college for six years. She appeared on my campus the year I graduated, so I was sure to tell all of my friends to be wary about their artwork. [Edit] I changed her name from what she went by to something pretty much the same because I see from her Deviant Art page she still does the same poo poo, and has it posted by that name.

So Brian actually passed these classes after sleeping/ playing WoW/ whatever the gently caress else instead of paying attention? I'm kind of surprised. And the crazy girl I was friends with in high school who thought she was Storm... she used to purr like a cat when she was happy. I never realized so many crazy people acted like cats! I just checked her deviantart to see if she's into Hetalia now and all I can see is Star Trek fanart (of her ~OC~ and also some slash). I guess she's Vulcan now and also has gotten fat enough to develop jowls. Still wearing those belly shirts though!

My friend goes off her meds and draws Furry Anime Porn, then finds Jesus while I'm an agent of Satan. I used to know a girl online by the name of, well, let's say it's Jeff since she used to post on these forums before she went loving nuts. She had been adopted when her meth addict, white trash parents forgot to feed her and CPS came to take her away. She lived with a foster mother who treated her like Cinderella since she was only taking kids in for the sweet, sweet government money. Then she escaped to another part of the country to go to university for art. At the time, she drew anime people and wrote fanfiction about her "psycho" self-insert character being in love with Trowa or someone from a gundam wing series, but whatever. I've done stuff like that too, no biggie right? We both had hardships in our lives and if we wanted to write lovely fanfiction then we could. Time's passing and she decides to go off her medications. I never learn what they are other than something for depression and something for ADHD. Within weeks she's telling me that the only thing she can do is lie on the floor and cry after throwing out anything she could harm herself, including half her art supplies. Finally, her biological mother contacts her and tells her to come live with her in a trailer in the southern state since she's worried about her. poo poo gets worse. Jeff is now going on furaffinity. She starts showing me pictures like carebears with happy faces and bright red, tiny dicks making GBS threads themselves and playing with the poop. Then she shows her mother. Really, anyone who will listen she starts showing it too. Then she draws her own carebears making GBS threads themselves because, it's like, funny, right? Then she starts drawing furries, and furries having sex and god I don't know anymore. She gets more involved with her cult like church and talks non stop about jesus and god. She gets a job solely so she can start giving money to the church. One day, she comes online to tell me that she's decided to marry some guy she just met no longer than 3 weeks. He's disabled from throwing out his back working at wal-mart, lives with his mother, only has one friend who keeps him around to feel good in comparison and is a total manchild. He has full out hissy fits at Jeff. Oh, and Jeff is pregnant now by him, the first person she's ever had sex with in her mid 20's. I freak the gently caress out on her about how she went from an intelligent person to this horrifying furry who spouts non stop gospel about God to the point where she cries if I tell her that when God will forgive anyone, that means *anyone*, even pedophiles. She tells me she loves her boyfriend of a few weeks as much as I love my husband of 4+ years. How dare I judge her, since I'm a godless whore who doesn't love Jesus like she does? In fact, I'm an agent of Satan. I'm trying to stray her off the glorious path of Jesus christ and God and anime furries. I haven't talked to her but now she's quite along in her pregnancy and had to beg furries to commission her to pay off a credit card bill. She doesn't work, her husband doesn't work, and they all sit around being fat and draw furries. I checked her facebook and she's whining about abortions and how we're all murderers for supporting it since RON PAUL said something about it. I have another story about a girl who used to lord over me and a buddy about our art, but I recently found out she started buying bad dragon dildos including a horse one so...nope. Not going to bother with that trainwreck.

She dropped off the internet for a while and we all realized that she was playing WoW and uploading videos mixed with "epic music" of her raids on youtube...then she got into homestuck and now orders bad dragon dildos with money she gets from other homestuck fans. She draws guys having sex with cats and babies now with blood splurting everywhere. I think she's finally going to community college but she's a pretty gross person.

To be fair pretty much every entry-level Japanese class has someone similar in it. Luckily, if you stick with it, those guys get weeded out by like second year max, in my experience. The upper levels still have unusual people in it, but no one quite so uniquely horrible and socially inept, because I think to get to that point you actually have to finally put in at least a modicum of effort.

I have to say, for me it's less "let's-laugh-at-the-bush-league-Mark-Chapman" and more "there-but-for-the-grace-of-God". I don't have Asperger's but I was an oblivious and insensitive nerd all through school and most of uni - which is not to say I'm Rico Suave now, but at least I'm married with a proper job and normal friends, whereas there's definitely an alternate-universe version of me somewhere who made a couple of different life choices and now he's jacking off to hentai and reciting Monty Python skits to himself on the bus. e: by which I mean he's reciting Monty Python on the bus, but not jacking off to hentai at the same time.

We had some weird dudes in my college Japanese program, but thankfully, nobody was as bad as Brian here. The worst two offenders were a kind of jackass-y dude who would introduce himself as a ninja and once convinced our very sweet, very shy Japanese TA to tie a tie around his head at a department party and, later, a dude who managed to get kicked out of Japan after graduation (argued with his boss, lost his job, promptly lost his work visa and apartment lease, flew home). What I wonder about is how Brian got away with screwing with his computer and newspapers and crap. Champignon, were your Japanese classes really large? I went to a small school, admittedly, but even in the relatively crowded first-year classes, we only had thirty-some students, and classes were very hands-on. Nobody could have gotten away with sneaking in a magazine, let alone playing freakin' WoW during class.

One was saying 'brrrrruuuuttttt' with rolling Rs. The other was based in your throat, kind of like gargling but softer and drier. The 'brrrruuttt' noise was used when asking for affection, and the other was for after sex. God why did I ask...

Most of the time he had a computer out he'd be told to put it away, he usually tried to get away with having it out since the beginning of class. I remember one time Brian snapped back at the teacher because he "needed to hearth back to a town to log out". Never thought I'd hear that in a classroom setting. Next time I get a chance to type something out at length, I'll regale you with Brian's inability to relate to or see himself in others. It's a relevant story to the laptop talk, where Brian's problems came to a bit of a stunning head.

Champignon posted:I suspect the reason Brian got away with it was through a war of attrition; it was obvious that Brian had been doing this for over a year now before I met him and the teachers were likely sick of even dealing with his bullshit. The uni's disability office might have also sent a memo to all relevant teachers with something along the lines of "kid might act weird, cut him some slack unless it's ruining other students' class-time". The computer thing was cracked down on, lest it was perceived that he was receiving special treatment. Ah, okay, that makes sense to me -- I can see how, after a certain point, they'd just try and block it out to focus on the non-Marsden-san students. It's amazing to me that he kept this up for years, but I suppose that comes down to the "no self-awareness" issue. That said... Champignon posted:I remember one time Brian snapped back at the teacher because he "needed to hearth back to a town to log out". Never thought I'd hear that in a classroom setting. Good God. Did he say this in English, or did he try to stutter it out in Japanese? (I'm not sure whether speaking in English in class was as big a deal in your program as it was in mine, but the sheer gall of saying this in English in the middle of class... yeah.)

A little while ago I mentioned a guy who changed his name from Something Perfectly Normal to Special Snowflake Anime Name. I spoke to him the other day while visiting my friend. One thing that occurred to me - he seriously believes all the stupid crap he says. While he doesn't go out and say 'animes are real!', he skates pretty drat close to it. Previously I thought he just made this poo poo up because he's a compulsive liar. Honestly I think the whole 'my twin sister is a stripper ninja with whom I can telepathically communicate' and 'my mum is a diplomat and died in a car crash last year because she was a target of terrorists' is a coping mechanism. He had lived in foster care between the ages of 5 and 18, so I guess he started making this stuff up to make himself feel better. That, and so he didn't have to deal with the unpleasant reality that his parents couldn't look after him properly. I would feel sorry for him, but he's nearly 30 and obviously doesn't see the problem with seriously believing this stuff and refusing to realise it's all a fantasy designed to make him feel special. froglet fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Jan 8, 2012 |

A few pages back, someone asked if Denise had found the .Hack series. Yes. Yes, she did. I'm sorry. She cosplayed Tsukasa, played the games endlessly, etc. Denise finds a guy named Sephiroth on a fan-made .hack MMORPG This was before Parrier took over permanently. Denise was still fully in love with Sephiroth and such. So, the .hack series swept through her life in her typical series du jour style. About midway through this obsession, she comes up to me on MSN. Denise: Hey, I found The World! Me: ??? Denise sends me a link to this lovely MMO that heavily used old/fan-made final fantasy graphics and sprites mixed with whatever the hell else they managed to find. And one of the moderators happened to be named Sephiroth, complete with the appropriate sprite. She told me her cunning plan of befriending this person and becoming a moderator. Aim high! Funny enough, I managed to do that exact thing. I guess he succumbed to my charming wit, or something. Denise soon stopped playing (Melissa was on there, too) and I ended up befriending all of the moderators. It wasn't hard. There was about 40 people who played it.

We lolitas are not all land whales but I can attest to the intensely terrible taste in men a lot of these girls seem to have (but no more than your average population of girls). And she was probably wearing 'Rocking Horse' shoes which were originally a design by Vivienne Westwood, you can get them in wood but the knock offs are usually cork or foam made to look like wood. Lolita clothing is encumbering but you can do a lot more than people seem to think wearing it.

Wow, so I'm not the only one who had a friend in high school claim to have been raped on the astral plane! This girl wasn't a weeaboo though, just way too into the occult and supernatural stuff. She was telling people that she was raped by a succubus in her dream and that she was now pregnant with demon babies. She could only keep it up for a few months though, since she wasn't showing, but she never outright admitted that she had lied to everyone. Come to think of it, I'm still not sure whether she actually believed it or not. I also knew a girl who believed that Harry Potter was real until she was about 12 or 13. Me and my best friend at the time wrote her a prank letter from Harry Potter, and she ended up waiting for him for several hours hoping to get a smooch. I feel bad about it now, especially since she got diagnosed with Asperger's later on

Previously I thought he just made this poo poo up because he's a compulsive liar. I think most of these people seriously believe these things. After I stopped talking to Summer and got out of her crazy anime world, I went over this question in my mind a lot, and as much as I'd love to hate her for manipulating me with her lies, I came to the conclusion that she, at least, truly believed everything she said. My evidence: 1. How long and consistently she carried this stuff on for 2. How panicked she would get, rather than angry or defensive, when I got close to suggesting this wasn't real ("You mean I'm crazy? You're not saying I'm crazy are you? I'M NOT CRAZY I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CRAZY BUT I'M REALLY NOT!!!!") 3. Before she told me about her anime world, back in 7th grade, she told me stories about her boyfriend, "Seth," from another school, who I never met. Three years later she told me about her ex, Malachite from Sailor Moon, and I noticed this sounded similar to Seth, so I asked her about him. She admitted that Seth was really Malachite, but she couldn't tell me at the time of course. During that time, 7th grade, she drew a lot of fanart of Malachite and Sailor Venus (our group of friends had sailor scout code names then, she was Sailor Venus). 4. She showed me an old diary that she'd written around that time also, and they were full of all the GA stories that she was telling me now, 3 years later. She had no one to share this with at the time, so there was no making up stories for attention; it would have been her, alone, in her fantasy world, telling no one about it. The art and handwriting was consistent with her at 7th grade, not 10th, and when I pointed out something funny about the art style (pointy big boobed pictures of herself), she was legitimately embarrassed and mumbled "yeah I used to do that, it was dumb." I remember it clearly because she was NEVER embarrassed. I'm positive that this diary was truly written when she was in 7th grade, and I really doubt that she made up stories in her diary for years just to show them to me later.

So I know this is like 5 pages back but I have to mention this guy.

He has appeared at public Pokemon events, with small children around, in this outfit and apparently doesn't realize that he comes off as horrifying. He volunteered for one con's maid cafe (for non-weeaboos, a Japanese cafe staffed by cute girls in maid outfits) reasoning that he has "nice legs" Here is his kawaii Alice in Wonderland cosplay   The guy has zero self-awareness about how he looks, which seems to be a running theme with these sorts of people. He takes cosplay very seriously and thinks he thoroughly pulls off looking like a woman/8-year-old girl. Last I heard, he still lives with his 80-something-year-old disabled mother and makes her sew his costumes for him.

Can someone tell me why furries always dress in those hideous cartoony fursuits? They look ridiculous and impossible to take seriously. Wouldn't it be better, and easier, to like, make something more skin-tight and with more bodypaint? If, god forbid, I wanted to dress up as some loving animal, hopefully because I was cast in that role in a play and not because I wanted to be a fox or some poo poo... then I'd put on some fake ears and fake tail and paint my face and wear some sort of tight-fitting fur material that would let me move around and probably feel close to actually having fur. Or hell, wear something tight and plain and then paint it and my body to resemble the animal's markings. Tight bodysuits are frankly not something I really want to see on sweaty fat geeks, but these people are dressing up as goddamn cartoon mascots. As an artist who once worked with an artistic costume designer, I find these abominations utterly shameful. If they must be gross pseudo-beastiality fetishists, couldn't they at least try to look like some kind of loving animal? Or am I missing the point?

At no stage did I believe I was really a leopard, but practicing moving like a cat was pretty fun. I can't imagine pulling it off with any sort of grace in a furry-style fursuit.

If, god forbid, I wanted to dress up as some loving animal, hopefully because I was cast in that role in a play and not because I wanted to be a fox or some poo poo... then I'd put on some fake ears and fake tail and paint my face and wear some sort of tight-fitting fur material that would let me move around and probably feel close to actually having fur. Or hell, wear something tight and plain and then paint it and my body to resemble the animal's markings. I'm sure this would look great if you're auditioning for Cats, but your average furry lacks a figure that would be improved by a skintight body suit. A big loose one hides a lot more of their imperfections.

I've seen a few more skintight/detailed furry getups, but they involve a lot of makeup and effort. And face prosthetics and other expensive crap that you'd probably be more likely to see in a very expensive play or film than at some con. It's a lot easier to just order some old sports mascot suit, cut off the label, and go around like that.

There was this girl who I went to school with that I still keep in touch with over AIM and such. She is apparently a furry, but even though I've known her for the better part of a decade, I only found this out about 3 or so years ago because she acts and looks and bathes like a completely normal person. Anyway, I was kind of intrigued by the same question as Corridor and asked her about it. She didn't seem to have too much interest or knowledge about furry costumes but what I gathered from what she was saying was that there's two main types of furries in general now: people who specifically like the designs of really cartoony (looney tunes or disney style) animals, and people that like more realistic anthropomorphic animals. Like a human body with fur with a literally real looking lion head on top or something. I think the cartoony outfits are horrifically ugly too, but apparently that's a thing for some of them.
