I enjoyed her books…as I recall…

…it was a long time ago.

(In a galaxy far, far away…)

Happy Birthday Ian. I hope you have a nice day. :)

Thank you! It’s been pretty damn awesome so far!

Ugh. I made a post about that just yesterday, when pages from Astonishing X-Men were all over my dash. By the same person. :| I still haven't read any of it, and my dash is full of AvX too. Why can't people just tag their shit?
iandsharman iandsharman Said:

I just don’t get why people can’t, at the very least, wait a few days. I know I don’t tend to get my comic till Saturday morning, and I’ve come to accept that spoilers are going to appear. But the next day? And if you have to post it…why not tag it with “spoilers”? Is it that hard to just do people that common courtesy?

girlsofgotham replied to your post: Obi Wan (you) and Anakin (Me) :)

YOU WERE MY BROTHER ANAKIN. I LOVED YOU.

I LOVE THAT MOVIE!

I spent much of the movie just gazing longingly at Maria Hill/Cobie Smulders.
iandsharman iandsharman Said:

I spent most of the movie flailing and making unusual noises…and I’m not the sort of person to do that at movies…

…of course it might have been the influence of Flaily McFlail.*

I want a Maria Hill movie now. Actually - solo movies for everyone!

*aka Holly.

I find it deeply problematic that people romanticize Snape and Lily's relationship. I don't honestly think Snape loved her, or at least he loved her so selfishly that he was jealous of the man she married and mistreated her son.
iandsharman iandsharman Said:

She was one of the only people to ever show him any kindness and affection…and so he spent his life obsessed and infatuated with her…and became consumed with jealousy and hatred towards anyone who received her love and affection. It’s a tragic, because, at his core, he could have been a good person, but he let his feelings for her twist him into an awful horrible man.

I hate it when I see girls saying that they want someone to love them like Snape liked Lily, because they’re saying they want someone to be utterly obsessed with them, but they don’t want to return those feelings, and for that obsession to consume and destroy that person. How warped is that?

It’s porn. His art looks like dirty amateur (not the good kind) porn.

All his women have one expression….and sometimes the expression don’t coincide with what the character’s saying :|

He’s a hack of the worst kind. Not only does he repeatedly retrace the same photo references, but he goes beyond that and blatantly traces other people’s art…and he has been doing this throughout his whole career.

Using photo ref is fine. Using photo ref taken from porn is not so fine. Reusing the same photo ref over and over and over again is pushing it. Reusing the same photo ref for different characters within the same image is absurd (yes, he’s done this…). Swiping from other artists…that’s just not acceptable.
