			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People tell us that we&#8217;re unfoundedly mean and evil for making fun of the pictures on deviantART. But the problem is that deviantART is an abyss, and in the words of everyone&#8217;s favourite German: &#8216;The abyss gazes also into you.&#8217; Hence, we&#8217;ve become corrupted and turned into such meanies due to the very art we&#8217;ve seen. In other words, it&#8217;s your own damn fault. Don&#8217;t invent crazy pills and then complain when madmen eat your dog.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s abyss-gazing platter is served by <a href="http://sivskittycat358.deviantart.com/">SivsKittyCat358</a>, and her &#8220;Original Character&#8221; Kagome (What an orginal name for an original character!).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/KagomexChase_by_SivsKittyCat358.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-973 aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/KagomexChase_by_SivsKittyCat358.png" alt="I hope they don't mind being bisected in half" width="550" height="379" /></a></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sivskittycat358.deviantart.com/art/KagomexChase-165446797">KagomexChase</a> by ~<a href="http://sivskittycat358.deviantart.com/">SivsKittyCat358</a></h1>
<p>&#8220;Oh boy&#8221; indeed. I don&#8217;t know who the character on the right is, but somehow I think they weren&#8217;t drawn by SivsKittyCat358. Like many of the works METOKUR is responsible for &#8217;stealing,&#8217; this picture contains content itself stolen. Who&#8217;da thought it? Let&#8217;s take a look at the copyright information provided in the picture&#8217;s description:</p>
<blockquote><p>Xiaolin Showdown (C) <strong>belongs to different company</strong><br />
Kagome(C) belongs to me</p></blockquote>
<p>Do you see anything weird about stealing a character from a show you like and using them as a love interest for your character without even caring to find out what company created them? I&#8217;m pretty sure you can get sued for that. Hey, Warner Bros. Animation, (I timed it, it took me less than ten seconds to find out who owns the fucking show); I think it&#8217;s time you flexed those legal muscles and took this KittyCat(358) to court! Let&#8217;s list the violations of the Copyrights and Patents Act:</p>
<ol>
<li>Misrepresentation of Copyrighted Material</li>
<li>Unauthorised Use of Copyrighted Material</li>
<li>Failure to Name and Notify Copyright Holder</li>
</ol>
<p>Wow, three. Looks like a lot of money (or jail time) is about to exchange hands!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s focus on the non-copyrighted characters and focus on the even more moronic one. Kagome, a Japanese girl&#8217;s name, has been assigned to a white girl. A white girl with some kind of latex hat that exactly compliments her hair. The hat I can&#8217;t explain, but the name was probably wish fulfillment on the creator&#8217;s part, angry and upset that her parents never gave her an anime name. I can&#8217;t tell what Kagome is saying because the text is really fucking small, even in comparison to that of Chase, the sexy Xiaolin man on the right. Well, Chase isn&#8217;t really saying it, because <strong>the speech bubble isn&#8217;t pointed at anyone in the fucking picture.</strong> Also is it just me or is the text in said speech bubble varying in size? It&#8217;s almost like the creator forgot they hadn&#8217;t finished the sentence and carried on in the wrong-sized font. Amazing work so far, SivsKittyCat358!</p>
<p>This tartlet&#8217;s creations are terrible, so of course my first reaction was to try and click out of my Browser. Sadly, due to some kind of unfortunate hardware malfunction, I clicked onto one of her stories, entitled &#8216;Kagome, Empress of Darkness?&#8217; Let&#8217;s have good laugh at this worthless shitpile together, shall we?</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sivskittycat358.deviantart.com/art/Kagome-Empress-of-Darkness-165057899">Kagome,  Empress of Darkness?</a> by ~<a href="http://sivskittycat358.deviantart.com/">SivsKittyCat358</a></h1>
<blockquote><p>Leslie was in pain and as she gave birth, an infant girl came out.</p></blockquote>
<p>Oh shit, really? Now THAT is writing against the trend! Usually pregnancies are painless procedures that birth fully grown able-bodied men, ready to turn the wheels of the Stalin&#8217;s war machine. No wait, that was a daydream and you&#8217;re a fucking idiot.</p>
<blockquote><p>Hayao comes in the room and the next thing he knew, Leslie died right in front of his eyes. Hayao was most sadden and angry that she dies, giving birth. <img src='http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></blockquote>
<p>Now you might find it a little disheartening that the tenses changed from past to present in the space of a single paragraph, and you might find it a little uncouth of our little Austen to be rationalising the emotions of her characters down to emoticons. But me, I&#8217;m most annoyed by the fact this entire story is nothing but a garbage jumble of words in seemingly random order. The writer clearly has no understanding of prefixes, suffixes, or tense. I&#8217;ve seen Google Translate write more coherent sentences from Mandarin Chinese than this teenager&#8217;s unintelligible turd of a sentence.</p>
<blockquote><p>Kagome was alone and lost in her mind ever since all the 5 mothers were no Influence to Kagome at all.<strong> </strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Kagome was alone and lost in her mind ever since all the 5 mothers were no Influence to Kagome at all.</strong></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t even have anything to say.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d love to provide literary criticism, I really would. But this is past the point of no return. This is just such utter crap I don&#8217;t even think I need to explain why it&#8217;s crap.</p>
<blockquote><p>Meanwhile in the lair of Chase Young, he was drumming his fingers from his pinkie to his index finger like 1-2-3-4- a few times. <strong>Thinking hard and thought</strong> about that shadow he saw in the crystal ball, but Chase didn&#8217;t know about any dark shadow like that.</p></blockquote>
<p>Masterful work there, Sivs. I&#8217;m impressed by the multitasking prowess of Chase, how he can both THINK HARD and THINK at the same time. I&#8217;m certainly looking forward to the meeting between these two intricately-designed charac- oh wait you stole Chase from an Anime. Anne Frank was a better writer than this, and she never even intended people to read her work!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll finish you with the final line of this literary opus:</p>
<blockquote><p>The problem is that Kagome was never given a chance at a taste of power and freedom.</p></blockquote>
<p>The<em> highly</em> &#8220;bare bones&#8221; nature of this story means a lot of the information is up to the reader&#8217;s interpretation. Mine? The writer&#8217;s father raped her. Or perhaps, given the sheer inanity of the text, vice versa. The thought just occurred to me that the author concerned in this article might well be male. There&#8217;s no particular implication they&#8217;re female, though the &#8216;writing&#8217; and &#8216;art&#8217; suggest a form of delusion usually constrained to the fairer chromosome. I COULD check his/her/she&#8217;s user page and find out, but like the second half of the Kagome: Empress of Darkness saga, I&#8217;d rather be ambiguous on the facts for the sake of sanity.﻿</p>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Since the creation of this article, SivsKittyCat358 has removed the picture and story concerned here, at the same time leaving a <a href="http://sivskittycat358.deviantart.com/journal/32569339/"> very upsetting entry</a> in her journal.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/screencap-2010-06-02-at-19.34.49.png" alt="Sad Kitty. Boo fucking hoo. Also alt text rulz" width="550" /></p>
<p>The two messages she mentions are in fact someone completely unrelated (who coincidentally to be called &#8216;Hbomberman&#8217;) linking her to this very page, and in no way criticising her art. Maybe people will start showing her a little respect when she starts respecting the people who bring these things to her attention.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Beautiful_Songs_by_eclipse_of_you.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-904" title="Beautiful_Songs_by_eclipse_of_you" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Beautiful_Songs_by_eclipse_of_you.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="714" /></a></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;" onclick="return true"><a href="http://eclipse-of-you.deviantart.com/art/Beautiful-Songs-162617337">Beautiful  Songs</a> <small>by ~<a href="http://eclipse-of-you.deviantart.com/">eclipse-of-you</a></small></h1>
<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking: &#8220;Is this a picture or a poem?&#8221; Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track  myself. But being as this is deviantART, the most obnoxious user-generated content service in  the world, and can make you want to blow your head clean off, you&#8217;ve got to ask  yourself one question: Does it really matter? Well, does it, punk? But enough unfunny pop-culture referencing padding: We have a submission to dissect.</p>
<p>The short answer to the first question is that it is, in fact, a picture. The presence of the text &#8211; which consists of lyrics to populist pop music garbage &#8211; serves to distract from how poorly illustrated the female(?) character is. With a head as large as her torso, and feet half the size of her tiny hands, I guess music must be her only escape from the hardships of life as a hideous freak of nature.</p>
<p>A general rule of thumb for dealing with pictures &#8220;plus words&#8221;: If it looks like more time went into writing the text than drawing the illustrated portion of the piece, chances are it was done to mask some horrendous artistic error. Judging from the fact that the songs have little (If not nothing at all) to do with one other, and how the headphones manage to fit entirely within the spiked blob that composes the girl&#8217;s hair (As if the artist hadn&#8217;t originally planned to include them), I&#8217;d say the &#8220;music&#8221; angle was an afterthought, and that this piece started simply as a failed drawing of a girl.</p>
<p>Not only does eclipse-of-you fail to impress as an illustrator, but she isn&#8217;t much of a typographer either. My best advice to her is to stay away from both, and instead of scribbling lame shit like this in class, to actually pay attention and focus on her academics. After all, it&#8217;s obvious she won&#8217;t be making it big as an artist any time soon.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And that&#8217;s all the text I&#8217;m willing to write about this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d like to start off this article with one simple question to the reader.  But first I need you to take a look at something&#8230;</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/pic-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<p>Good, now that we have that out of the way we can continue.  So just who is this you ask?  Why it&#8217;s none other than the focus of today&#8217;s article, a tartlet who goes by the handle <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.anonym.to/?http://decadence-decay.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Decadence-Decay</a>.  Our little Ms. Decadence, real name Sophia, is a 16 year old girl on DA.  Though I suspect that&#8217;s not too much of a shock to you when you consider that the entire site is comprised almost entirely of nothing but teenage girls (All of whom somehow always seem to be 16 years old&#8217;s even when they&#8217;re really just 40 year old men from Tokyo who enjoy wearing panties on their heads).  Why then have I asked you to look at this self indulgent, Myspace angled, &#8220;I&#8217;m daddies little princess&#8221;, vapid, self-masturbatory photograph of some obviously confused pale bitch?  Well, I&#8217;m just curious is all.  I&#8217;m curious to see if I&#8217;m the only one out there who finds the idea of her fucking guys dressed up like circus performers completely batshit insane.</p>
<p>I mean when you look at her, when you take a moment to consider that she&#8217;s actually somewhat attractive do you then automatically think to yourself, &#8220;Oh hell yeah, I can totally see her riding some clowns cock&#8221;?  Can you honestly give the idea that she would fuck something like this&#8230;</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/pic-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<p>&#8230;any credence?</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re confused by this point you&#8217;re not alone, I am as well.  And I don&#8217;t mean confused as in, &#8220;Hey why do her feet in the above photo look like they belong more to Skeletor than to a teenage girl&#8221;.  I&#8217;m guessing that maybe she doesn&#8217;t understand the basics of lighting or maybe she&#8217;s like the female version of that dude from the movie Powder.  Who knows?  But putting that mystery aside I&#8217;m talking about the confusion over the fact that this girl, this piece of jail-bate, would actually want to fuck a juggalo.</p>
<p>Jesus, that&#8217;s a scary thought.  Do you even know what a juggalo is?  I mean for fuck sakes they can&#8217;t even work out the simple shit like, oh I don&#8217;t know, this: FB = q v × B</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Pic-3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<p>You see over the last few days, in between my constant masturbation to her photos and my confusion as to why her feet look like they belong to a villain from the He-Man universe, I&#8217;ve given this issue a great deal of thought.  And yet I&#8217;m still left thoroughly dumbstruck.  Why would any girl seriously consider a man in make-up desirable?  Let alone one who happens to live in a trailer park, beats his sister/lover, exists solely on food stamps, and considers bathing in Red Pop hygienic.  I mean that shit just doesn&#8217;t make sense.  But one look at her photos and it becomes clear that this chick loves getting dicked by the boys from the big top.</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Pic-4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<p>Would you look at that?  Seriously, what the fuck is she going to tell her kids in 20 years when they come up to her with a photo like this one and ask, &#8220;Mommy, why do you look like such a huge faggot&#8221;?  Off all the types of men someone could be attracted to she chooses juggalo&#8217;s?  That&#8217;s so far below the bottom of the barrel that if she looked up she&#8217;d be staring at straight at the asses of furries.  Yeah, that&#8217;s right, furries are a step up for her.  If she were to put on a wolf suit right now and bounce up and down on some dude&#8217;s dick while yelping like a puppy I&#8217;d actually respect her more.  Holy shit, that&#8217;s messed up.</p>
<p>Now you may be wondering what makes her special enough to warrant an article.  Clearly she isn&#8217;t artistic with the majority of her DA account being devoted to vapid self portraits that scream &#8220;OMG I heart social networking&#8221;.  She&#8217;s one of those girls that knows she&#8217;s attractive and so she takes full advantage of it by posting her pictures everywhere so she can feed off of men&#8217;s erections like a lich feeds off fucking misery.  But that&#8217;s not the reason we&#8217;re spotlighting her.  Attention whoring women are a dime a dozen on the internet.  No, what makes her special is the fact that she is <strong>WILLINGLY HAVING SEX WITH JUGGALOS</strong>.</p>
<p>Try this.  I want you to imagine the worst ethnic stereotype that you can.  Maybe it&#8217;s a nigger holding a bucket of chicken while he rapes a white woman.  Or perhaps it&#8217;s an chink with a really tiny cock doing complex algebra problems.  Or how about a spic hoping a fence while carrying nothing but cleaning supplies and lawn care equipment.  Well those examples are to other races as juggalo&#8217;s are to white people.  They are our niggers, our chinks, our spics.  They&#8217;re the counterexample to white supremacy and they can be found in any trailer park across the country.  I&#8217;d rather have a kerosene enema than be in the same room as an ICP fan.</p>
<p>So what the hell is she thinking?  What horrible thing did her father have to do to her that would explain her taste in men.  He must have been pulling trains on this bitch since the age of 6 to account for something this screwed up.  He probably made her watch as he practiced his woodsmanship with nothing more than a chainsaw and kittens.  Because there is no way that this&#8230;</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Pic-5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<p>results from a normal upbringing.  So all I have to say to dad is: Good job.  May God have mercy on us all because knowing how teenagers are it&#8217;s only a matter of time till she squirts out a litter of mini-ninjas.  Once that happens we&#8217;ll have even more of the fuckers to deal with.  Now if you&#8217;ll excuse me I have the strangest urge to go watch some motherfucking He-Man.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</strong><em></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have come to enjoy and play a great deal of video games. I will even  go as far as to admit I have become what is commonly referred to as a  &#8220;fanboy&#8221; of certain series  and games. However, I have the restraint to keep myself from devoting myself entirely to a single title, lest I become completely and  utterly obsessed. If only others out there could demonstrate the same restraint as I.</p>
<p>Enter  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://lindaru.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Lindaru</a>,  &#8220;an 19 years old gamer from Finland,&#8221; as her YouTube so eloquently puts  it. She falls under the sect dedicated to none other than  Final Fantasy. More specifically, Final Fantasy IX <em>(&#8220;9&#8243; for those of you unfamiliar with roman  numerals)</em>, which seems to mostly revolve around a character named Zidane  Tribal, who looks like a regular at Anthrocon.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 230px"><img src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//deviantart.com//4YKm8.png" alt="" width="220" height="359" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Feminine 16 year old with a tail: The creature that the fans crave.</p></div>
<p>So  how does Lindaru immortalize this highly esteemed cult icon? Why, with stock  images with ugly color filters slapped on for good measure, of course!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Zidane_by_Lindaru.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-730" title="Zidane_by_Lindaru" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Zidane_by_Lindaru.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="412" /></a></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://lindaru.deviantart.com/art/Zidane-90467834">Zidane</a> <small>by ~<a href="http://lindaru.deviantart.com/">Lindaru</a></small></h1>
<p>First off, this is in no way  original, as any idiot can download <a href="http://www.gimp.org/">GIMP</a> and plaster in stock images  from the game. If you look close enough, you notice the image in the  upper right corner even has a shoddy cropping job leaving some sort of  border. But she doesn&#8217;t stop there.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Green_Zidane_by_Lindaru.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-731" title="Green_Zidane_by_Lindaru" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Green_Zidane_by_Lindaru.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="412" /></a></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://lindaru.deviantart.com/art/Green-Zidane-93496168">Green    Zidane</a> <small>by ~<a href="http://lindaru.deviantart.com/">Lindaru</a></small></h1>
<p><a href="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FF9_Zidane__s_Energy_by_Lindaru.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-732" title="FF9_Zidane__s_Energy_by_Lindaru" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FF9_Zidane__s_Energy_by_Lindaru.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="412" /></a></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://lindaru.deviantart.com/art/FF9-Zidane-s-Energy-95237581">FF9  Zidane&#8217;s Energy</a> <small>by ~<a href="http://lindaru.deviantart.com/">Lindaru</a></small></h1>
<p>That&#8217;s right folks. She used the same exact image two more times, only toying around with  color filters this time. This is primarily what all of her deviations  amount to: Game stills hastily cropped together with a lazy tint job,  which may or may not include a game quote. I hate to admit it, but  compared to her, the lowest tier of shitty anime recolor artists show more talent.</p>
<p>Images  aside, Lindaru also has writings among her deviations. Care to take a  guess upon the subject matter? Bingo: More Final Fantasy, more Zidane, and more terrible excuse for expression. Allow me to share this piece, titled <a rel="nofollow" href="http://lindaru.deviantart.com/art/FF9-Growing-Wings-84820153" target="_blank">&#8220;FF9 Growing Wings&#8221;</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>In Trance,Zidane  defeated Shell Dragon,the embodiment of his own insanity and sadness..<br />
Dagger  was speechless about how much powerful Zidane is now&#8230;<br />
Zidane  realized what he had done&#8230;and he tried to hold his tears..<br />
”It&#8217;s  alrigth Zidane,I and everyone will forgive you&#8230;”<br />
and in that  moment..Zidane bursted to cry<br />
”What have I done&#8230;I were so  shocked&#8230;I could not think at all&#8230;”<br />
Tears falled from Zidane&#8217;s  face to ground..they shined like a sun..<br />
Dagger looked at Zidane  and she kissed him&#8230;passionly and softly..<br />
Zidane&#8217;s every part  of his body relaxed&#8230;<br />
his eyes were glowing brigth green..as she  kissed him<br />
”I want this feeling to stay forever&#8230;it feels so  nice..”he thougth to himself.<br />
And all of the sudden his soul  was in Heaven,there was nothing..<br />
everything was covered in  white..<br />
and then..suddenly he felt sharp pain..coming from his  back..<br />
he shouted in pain..<br />
he fell on the ground and  huge,beautiful angel wings bursted from Zidane&#8217;s back..<br />
this  happened also in reality&#8230;wings bursted from Zidane&#8217;s back with  powerful impact.<br />
Dagger was shocked<br />
but Zidane just smiled  at her and said:<br />
”Let&#8217;s go Dagger,let&#8217;s find our friends”<br />
Dagger  agreed with him,smiling at him like a sunrise&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>Here is  where I admit I know nothing about the game, including the characters  mentioned. But honestly; none of that is necessary to see what a poor writer Lindaru is. Almost every sentence ends in an ellipsis, as if it were some  attempt to add emphasis. Also, I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;ve read <a href="http://www.peterchimaera.com/">Peter Chimaera</a> pieces with better  command over the English language than this! I had thought spelling bright as  &#8220;brigth&#8221; was a mistake, but every single word ending in &#8220;-ight&#8221; is  spelled like that, including her other &#8220;fanfics&#8221;. Is this some kind of reference to the game that I&#8217;m totally oblivious to?</p>
<p>Needless  to say, Lindaru is not an &#8220;artist&#8221;, just as anything she has   produced is  not fit to be called &#8220;art&#8221;. Her fans only follow her work for one of three reasons, neither of which has anything to do with her non-existent artistic merit:</p>
<p><strong>A)</strong> &#8220;OMG its Zidane I &lt;3 FF9!!!!&#8221;<br />
<strong>B)</strong> &#8220;OMG  its a girl on the internet I &lt;3 BOOBS!!!!&#8221;<br />
<strong>C)</strong> All of the above.</p>
<p>I have lost any interest in digging any further: It doesn&#8217;t get much deeper than rock bottom. I&#8217;d go into her <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9bgodGCAho" target="_blank">music</a>, but this about deviantART; not  YouTube.</p>

<p><strong></strong><strong>Sir Jimbo:</strong> <em>The Pain That I&#8217;ll Choose </em>(Written and illustrated by TARTlet <a rel="nofollow" href="http://rave-anna.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Rave-Anna</a>) is  the heartwarming tale of two lesbians trying to overcome the difficult  disease of leprosy. It&#8217;s a story about the spirit of love and how it  copes with an affliction that makes your skin sluff off and fall into  sticky piles of goo on the floor. Well it&#8217;s either that or the artist  can&#8217;t draw for shit. One of the two. It&#8217;s hard to tell. In fact let&#8217;s  make a game of it. Choose which of the following best describes the main  female protagonist on the cover&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> She suffers from  leprosy (It&#8217;s one of those illnesses from before the days of Doogie  Howser)<strong><br />
2.</strong> She was beaten by the dyke stick (A terrible  weapon wielded by only the angriest of muff divers)<strong><br />
3.</strong> Being that she is gay and a woman she is attempting to gain as much  weight as possible to better fit the role and thus she dove face first  into a vat of Oreo cookies.<strong><br />
4.</strong> One night, during a  particularly embarrassing episode of cock lust, she turned her vibrator  onto maximum and shit just went down hill.</p>
<p>If you picked any of  the above options, CONGRATULATIONS, you have more imagination than the  author of this steaming pile of fanfiction.</p>
<p><strong>Habermann:</strong> You know what the most fucked up part  of this comic is? It&#8217;s not just about two generic lesbians or the  &#8220;artist&#8217;s&#8221; original characters: It actually stars the members of Russian  pop sensation t.A.T.u.! You know? Those two chicks who pretended to be  lesbians until having to admit to everyone that they weren&#8217;t <em>way back  in 2003</em>? Apparently, the fact they aren&#8217;t real lesbians hasn&#8217;t  deterred rabid lesbian weeaboos from further exploring the coupling.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//deviantart.com//lBC4i.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Habermann:</strong> Judging from the note in the upper  right panel (And from the layout of the actual page itself), it seems as  if the artist had a bit of trouble deciding whether her readers should  read the comic from left-to-right or right-to-left (MANGA STYLE <img src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//deviantart.com/forum/Smileys/default/azn.gif" border="0" alt="Azn" />). In the end, she settles with the latter, and casual  weeaboos who are unaware of this custom suffer for it. Furthermore,  might I question what fucking school this girl attends, of which the  general populace harbors such an immense hatred towards lesbians? If  it&#8217;s in Russia, where the actual duo hails from, it might interest the  artist to know that in present day the majority of Russians are  non-observant, and more than 50% never attend church services of any  kind. It&#8217;s hard to imagine a school of Russians ganging up on a girl for  offending religious values the majority of their citizens don&#8217;t even  hold.</p>
<p><strong>Sir Jimbo:</strong> A lot  of people will tell you that to create great art you actually need to  draw it, art that is. But those people are just jealous faggots and  should be shunned. As we can see from this page the artist has decided  against such cliches as &#8220;Backgrounds&#8221; and instead has gone with the use  of a solid white backdrop to frame her panels. While most people would  call this lazy and a clear sign of half-assing things I would disagree.  Instead I&#8217;d call it a sign that our artist was driven so mad with penis  envy that immediately after having drawn this she ran into her kitchen  (Insert your own sexist joke here folks) and began shoving any piece of  produce she could find directly into her man-hating snatch. Carrots,  Cucumbers, Corn, you get the idea. Salads will never again be the same  at her house. Not fucking EVER!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//deviantart.com//O2yGD.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Sir Jimbo:</strong> You know that whole concept called  &#8220;perspective&#8221;? That thing that&#8217;s supposed to help you know what the fuck  is going on in a scene? The device a good artist will use in order to  better guide what the audience is viewing in an effort to help clear  things up? Well, who needs it? Clearly not our artist, since you&#8217;d have  better luck figuring out what the fuck is going on with this page by  reading it entirely in braille. I mean yes you could argue that the main  character is lusting after the fishing hole of the red-headed Lena  Katina but than again who is to say. I mean that dark silhouette in the  background could be anyone. Hell it could be the janitor. I mean after  all this is an Oreo hording carpet muncher we&#8217;re talking about here and  I&#8217;m sure after fucking half of the vegetables in her house the artist  was by this point completely delirious. Christ she probably was queefing  out popcorn after the unholy shame that took place in her kitchen from  earlier on.</p>
<p><strong>Habermann:</strong> I think you&#8217;re ignoring the biggest logical flaw in this page. Yulia  acknowledges that Lena has shown up at school extraordinarily early,  meaning that she herself would have to have shown up early as well. If  Yulia hates school so goddamn much, why does she show up potentially  hours in advance just to sit around in a hallway and contemplate how  much she fucking hates school? We&#8217;re only two pages into this mess, and  the plot has already revealed itself to be as flimsy as the paper the  comic is drawn on.</p>
<p>Also, I lol&#8217;d at how smug Lena&#8217;s face is as  she opens her locker. Back in my school days, my facial demeanor in the  early morning matched something like my face in present day after puking  a whole bottle of Jack into a toilet. Lena is either obsessive about  keeping up appearances, or on some kind of botox regiment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//deviantart.com//qmTGU.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Habermann:</strong> Here, we discover our artist has a bit  of difficulty with drawing hands. Try and figure out what side of the  paper we&#8217;re looking at in the fourth panel: If it&#8217;s facing towards the  reader (Like a good artist would usually draw), her thumbs are on the  wrong sides of her eerily disproportionate hands. If the text is facing  towards her, how come we don&#8217;t see her reading it from behind the paper?  Either way you slice it, it&#8217;s an incredibly awkward panel, on an  incredibly awkward page. From her amusingly out-of-place angry face in  the first panel (Nice transition from bubbly and bright on the previous  page!), to the confusing inconsistency in the use of onomatopoeia and  motion indicators, this page is a goddamn mess.</p>
<p><strong>Sir Jimbo:</strong> Let&#8217;s see, what sorts of  qualities do you absolutely never want to find in the person you&#8217;re  fucking? I know! How about butting into your fucking business?  Apparently Lena is one hell of a controlling pearl licker because the  moment she finds something on the ground which has nothing at all to do  with her, she has to get involved. This is typical behavior for sexual  predators. It probably explains where all those bruises from the cover  page came from. Think about it: Lena is a fucking animal, and god help  you if you leave her out of the loop. She&#8217;ll cut your fucking titties  off to teach you a lesson.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//deviantart.com//d49bF.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Sir Jimbo:</strong> Yulia Volkova? Well  there is a name that just rolls of the tongue now doesn&#8217;t it? Probably  just like Lena&#8217;s meat curtains do after she face rapes poor Yulia. Also,  you shouldn&#8217;t be alarmed by the rapid growth of Lena&#8217;s skull on this  page; it&#8217;s just a side effect of too much B-12 in her diet.</p>
<p>You  know, from carrots. Cause&#8217; that&#8217;s what she likes to shove up her&#8230;. Oh  well you get the point.</p>
<p>But just in case you didn&#8217;t: LENA LIKES  TO INSERT THINGS IN HER VAGINA. All lesbians do. It&#8217;s natures way of  telling them that they&#8217;re fucking wrong. Mother Nature&#8217;s not a dyke.  Hate to break it to ya, but she loves the cock.</p>
<p><strong>Habermann:</strong> I&#8217;ll admit: I got a  hard-on watching t.A.T.u. in their early days, before they revealed that  their love for one another was a gigantic scam. And as much as I&#8217;d love  for some kinky sex video starring the two of them to get leaked and  reveal that the two of them actually DO have the hots for one another  (Hell, I&#8217;d watch it even if it was just another promotional gimmick. I&#8217;m  not picky about the actual romantics of the situation), it simply isn&#8217;t  a pairing meant to be. This whole backstory about the duo having been  lesbians throughout their school days, not knowing each other to be  lesbians but lusting over one another, and finally coming out to one  another despite the cries of their peers is fucking weak enough on it&#8217;s  own without it being based on a real life love story that&#8217;s been  revealed to be completely fucking fake.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//imgur.com//Wr0Kn.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Habermann:</strong> Let&#8217;s take a look at our crowd, shall  we? We have our chain-smoking grunge kid covering his little brother&#8217;s  eyes, clearly concerned about being a good role model for him. We also  have a green-eyed bald guy, who is amazed upon discovering exactly how  bald he is as he tries to run his fingers through his non-existent hair.  There&#8217;s a girl who appears to be inside a peanut costume clearly not a  fan of Yulia&#8217;s faggotry, while the girl in the ponytail to the left is  clearly not a fan of the former&#8217;s peanut costume. And finally, we have  an elderly woman with lopsided tits, who should honestly be a bit more  desensitized to teenage lesbianism after having witnessed and survived  the horrors of the Gulag. Isn&#8217;t it lovely how all these people can come  together to share their groundless hatred for lesbians?</p>
<p><strong>Sir Jimbo:</strong> &#8220;Don&#8217;t look bro, she&#8217;s a  dyke&#8221;. Well clearly than this is a work of fiction because even the  gayest of men would line up during the world&#8217;s worst fucking snow storm  in history just to witness two chicks scissor the shit out of each other  in real life. Poor girl: It must be so hard to be an attractive lesbian  surrounded by nothing but horny teenage boys. How rough. God they must  hate her for being so kinky. You know, when they&#8217;re all not furiously  jacking their shit to the idea of some hot lesbian pearl diving action.</p>
<p>REALISM  has no place in this comic. Now go get some stones so we can kill this  bitch ffffffuck</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//imgur.com//59Rl6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Sir Jimbo:</strong> I have to say this page  makes me happy. Honestly it does. I mean I was a huge fan of the Lord  of the Rings movies and I was really worried there for a while that  after the Return of the King came out that Smeagol would be out of work.  But here we see that&#8217;s clearly not the case. Not only is he employed  again but he is working in a comic that&#8217;s dedicated to a couple of hot  lesbians fisting each other. Lucky fucker. And to top it off he&#8217;s giving  her Eskimo kisses. ESKIMO KISSES, THAT&#8217;S SO SUPER KAWAII. ヘ(^_^ヘ)</p>
<p>Oh  god, sorry. I threw up in my mouth a little bit. I&#8217;ll have to set up an  appointment with my doctor to get another round of immunizations  against weeaboo.</p>
<p><strong>Habermann:</strong> I&#8217;m not sure why &#8220;Find our love note, dyke?&#8221; is an insult so worthy of  praise. That&#8217;s like me getting a round of applause for saying &#8220;Enjoying  your coffee, fag?&#8221; at Starbucks. Hey, here&#8217;s a good question: What the  hell are these two guys doing at school early? They don&#8217;t exactly seem  like the type eager to learn. Do they show up early just to harass Yulia  for showing up early? If so, why the fuck does Yulia keep showing up  early? And if she has the same habit of showing up early to be harassed  as Lena does, how come Lena hasn&#8217;t witnessed Yulia being brutally  &#8220;tapped&#8221; on the knee before? This plot has more holes than a lesbian  orgy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//imgur.com//KD980.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Sir Jimbo:</strong> Sadly though Lena has to ruin it all  like the typical angry dyke that she is. Because suddenly, for NO reason  whatsoever, she goes all period rage on poor defenseless Smeagol and  attacks him. Imagine it: There he is: Our loving, caring, kindhearted  Smeagol just minding his own business giving Yulia some Eskimo Kisses  and what happens? Some angry beaver beater shows up and starts shooting  her pussy blood all over the hallway. Somebody get this bitch a pallet  full of Midol and call the cops. For the love of God lady it was just an  Eskimo kiss will you please pull that stick out of your ass&#8230;..</p>
<p>&#8230;  And those carrots out of your cooter.</p>
<p><strong>Habermann:</strong> It&#8217;s amazing how the artist  transitions so quickly from &#8220;drama&#8221; and a generally depressing tone, to  &#8220;OMG CHIBI KAWAII&#8221; and other stereotypical lazy manga bullshit. If  you&#8217;re going to weave a tale of &#8220;true love in the face of prejudice&#8221;,  and try to tackle the serious issue of disregarding social criticism in  order to live your life to way you want to live it, you can&#8217;t suddenly  stop drawing full figures and start drawing fucking chibis reacting to  major plot-changing actions with simple stock shocked expressions.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//imgur.com//l1ERY.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Habermann:</strong> We&#8217;re treated to more half-assed chibi  art and half-hearted attempt at social commentary. And so, our romance  plot advances as swiftly as bald guy is forced out of the frame (God  forbid our action sequence span more than one page), as fast as Lena  turns away from the angry bald guy to look at Yulia, and as quickly  we&#8217;re supposed to forget about the impact that the fateful punch will  have on Lena&#8217;s social standing.</p>
<p><strong>Sir  Jimbo:</strong> Smeagol is upset and rightly so. But does anyone call  the police on this raging whore? Do they get him some medical attention  first? Call in the swat team? Render any aid whatsoever to our poor,  beaten, and abused little hobbit? No. And why? Is it because the  hallways now reek of rotting fish? Well probably but that&#8217;s not the  reason. Is it because the amount of blood she leaked everywhere has now  created a hazmat level 8 situation? Again probably but still not why.  The reason that no one does anything is because Lena is fucking crazy,  like all Lesbians. That&#8217;s why they molest children. Gay people that is.  Because they&#8217;re fucking crazy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.metokur.org/devart//imgur.com//Zfpmj.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Sir Jimbo:</strong> We&#8217;re finally on the last page (So  far), and what an adventure it&#8217;s been. Yulia, our protagonist, is  clearly terrified by all that has transpired. Can you blame her though?  How often is it that a person witnesses a raging lesbian beat a hobbit  to within an inch of his life? I can&#8217;t even begin to fathom the amount  of therapy that it&#8217;s going to take to undo that. And so here she is  broken, beaten, terrified, and in a fetal position on the ground looking  up at her attacker. She&#8217;s probably wondering all sorts of things.  Things like just why it is that a man sized lesbian with orange hair is  allowed to stalk a school&#8217;s hallways unsupervised. Or why rampant hobbit  abuse is tolerated in this modern society. Sadly she&#8217;ll never get  answers to those questions since Lena is now going to take her to the  broom closet and brutally rape her. Probably with one of those carrots  she used on herself earlier. Sick bitch.</p>
<p><strong>Habermann:</strong> I&#8217;d be surprised if  latter pages of the story bother to address Lena&#8217;s newly inherited  social shunning, or the couple managing to melt the cold hearts of the  rest of the student body by means of their true love in the fact of  adversity. Hell, I&#8217;d be surprised if the story is continued at all  beyond another page or two tops: In a mere nine pages, we&#8217;ve managed to  fly through the entire exposition, dash right past the climax, and reach  the point in the story where the couple is about to confess their  secrets. At this rate, they&#8217;ll be married by page 13, and adopt a child  on page 14. One thing&#8217;s for damn sure: We&#8217;re not reading any more of  this half-hearted animu garbage. If you are braindead or gullible enough  to fall for the perceived &#8220;inspiring message&#8221; being pushed by this  populist garbage, you can kindly take your shallow love story and shove  it up your ass, right next to your life partner&#8217;s dick or dildo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I&#8217;m feeling down and blue, nothing cheers me up quite like knowing that there are other people out there who are miserable too. Depressing poetry is like God&#8217;s way of saying &#8220;Everything is going to be okay: You&#8217;re not nearly as bad off as this whiny prick&#8221;**. Perhaps the best part of depressing poetry is that the author usually intends to use his work as a means of spreading his misery, and making his readers feel as terrible as he does. Of course, when they realize that their odes to slitting are in fact found to be entertaining, it only serves to make them more miserable, which in turn inspires more fucking poetry. Humans are an amusing breed indeed.</p>
<p>But enough of me <em>explaining</em> why depressing poetry is amusing: Why don&#8217;t we read an actual piece of it together?</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://love-fate-mizery.deviantart.com/art/No-One-Cries-157807891">No One Cries</a> <small>by ~<a href="http://love-fate-mizery.deviantart.com/">Love-Fate-Mizery</a></small></h1>
<blockquote><p><em>Neck is slit and eyes are gouged,<br />
By her bed I see her now.<br />
No  words said and no song sung,<br />
And no one cries.</em></p>
<p><em>Living corpse  inside her bed,<br />
See the thoughts inside her head.<br />
Wisps of smoke  and hair soaked red,<br />
And no one cries.</em></p>
<p><em>Arms crossed, legs  locked, eyes are shut,<br />
Final soldier salute on crutch.<br />
Paler  cheeks than glowing moons,<br />
And no one cries.</em></p>
<p><em>Run! Impervious.<br />
Fight!  Delirious.<br />
Breathe! I beg of you.<br />
Cry!</em></p></blockquote>
<p>How did our narrator come to be in the same room as this tortured soul? Is he himself responsible for taking the initial slice out of her neck and poking her eyes out, or did he just accidentally walk into this hell-hole of a room while trying to find the bathroom? Maybe instead of getting all worked up over the fact that &#8220;no one is crying&#8221; <em>(How he came to possess the clairvoyance needed to confirm this sorry fact is beyond me)</em>, perhaps he should do something to help the poor girl! I like to imagine the narrator&#8217;s character sitting on a wooden chair across from the bed, typing up the poem on his laptop while the girl gurgles her blood. <em>&#8220;Just a second, ma&#8217;am! I want to get this poem posted on deviantART, first!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>If I didn&#8217;t know any better, I&#8217;d say the third paragraph tells the tale of the nameless victim&#8217;s funeral. It&#8217;s nice to know that the mortician went ahead and shut her eyes up tight, so the attendees don&#8217;t have to get a glimpse of her aerated corneas. It also appears that a member of the armed forces is present to send her off as well! But what happened to his leg that has him crutch-bound?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>&#8220;His leg was fine the day before she died&#8230;&#8221;</em><em></em><br />
<em>&#8220;The coroner said that she had fought back&#8230;&#8221;<br />
&#8220;The two of them were going through a bitter divorce. But surely, Dan couldn&#8217;t have&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The final stanza is one of those pretentious &#8220;Verb! Adjective&#8221; bits that seems to be popular among the uninspired these days. But the question still remains: Who&#8217;s the narrator shouting at? Surely, he isn&#8217;t yelling at the dead girl and telling her to run, breath, and do other things that a corpse is decidedly incapable of doing. Even if she wasn&#8217;t dead yet, I imagine it&#8217;d be pretty difficult to cry with your eyes gouged the fuck out, or to breath with a giant hole in your throat! There&#8217;s the chance that the final line is a request of those who knew the deceased, and that the poem is about their not shedding tears for the dearly departed. Maybe they have their reasons: Maybe the girl was a bitch. Maybe she had it coming. Maybe they were all in on it. Who knows? Who cares? Good riddance, I say!</p>
<p>Before I go ahead and wrap this up, allow me to leave you with the submitter&#8217;s notes that accompany the piece.</p>
<blockquote><p>PLEASE DO NOT COPY, STEAL, OR USE THIS POEM IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM  FOR ANY REASOM WHATSOEVER. SUCH ACTIONS WILL RESULT IN DIRE CONSEQUENCES  FOR THE THEIF AND HIS/HER AFFILIATES. THANK YOU.</p></blockquote>
<p>Oh no! Perhaps I should heed this warning! We have enough to worry about right now, what with the clearly serious risk of <a href="http://www.metokur.org/devart/2010/03/19/hungover-like-the-wolf/">being prosecuted for making fun of furries</a>!</p>
<p>On second thought, fuck that: We do what we want.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><sub>** If God were to have a sense of humor or even exist in the first place, that is.</sub></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://avikaw.deviantart.com/art/Alone-and-Remote-146294556" target="_blank">Today&#8217;s story</a> was submitted to deviantART by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://avikaw.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">AvikaW</a>, who has posted over a hundred fucking pieces of fanfiction on his dA gallery over the course of his four years on the site. Not to mention, a few pieces of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://avikaw.deviantart.com/art/sdf-22473026" target="_blank">awful fanart</a>, which you might as well just classify as more fucking fanfiction with the ridiculous walls of text on display in them. Tim Buckley, eat your fucking heart out.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Why me? Why us? Why now?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>You tell me, you talentless hack: You&#8217;re the goddamn author, here.</p>
<blockquote><p>Fox awoke in the wreckage of his arwing. He looked at the instrument panel.</p>
<p>&#8220;Breathable atmosphere. Guess we&#8217;re probably not dying afterall.&#8221;</p>
<p>Krystal was sitting on his lap, as her ship was destroyed during the mission. He regretted accepting her offer to ride with him, believing that his desire to get closer to her may have doomed her.</p>
<p>Fox opened the canopy and got out, lifting and carrying his unconcious wife to safety. The air on the planet was clean, disturbingly clean. No planet should be that clean unless, unless Lylatian civilization hadn&#8217;t spread to this particular planet.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is as close as the story comes to giving us any sort of setting or context. I can totally understand the author expecting his readers to have played the Star Fox games, or to have read the previous installments to his story. But if knowing the events leading up to this part of the story is absolutely necessary, then it might help if he <em>let us know what the last chapter was</em>. I mean, come the fuck on! This guy has written <a rel="nofollow" href="http://avikaw.deviantart.com/gallery/" target="_blank">literally hundreds of fucking stories</a>. And from the looks of it, not all of them are Star Fox fanfic. Let&#8217;s say, for the sake of example, that a new reader wants to play catch-up and read the story from the beginning. Where the fuck are they supposed to start? Authors, take note: If you&#8217;re not going to let us in on what the previous chapter of your story was, at least give us a goddamn summary of it. Even the lamest 50&#8217;s sci-fi serials give brief backstories at the beginning of each installment!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;What now?&#8221;</p>
<p>Fox looked at his arwing. The nose was crushed like a can and torn apart like paper. The wings were completely torn off and the engine was unrecognizable. It was a maracle that the cockpit held together as well as it did. Why did it crash? Previous arwings lost entire wings and engines and still got the job done. This arwing took only a few hits to the engine and went down like a wounded bird. Probably one of Slippy&#8217;s &#8220;upgrades&#8221;. Fox thought that Slippy was losing his touch. Now he knew it. Stupid frog.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to throw tired similes at us, at least have the common courtesy to not reuse the same fucking adjective twice in a row. Nevermind the fact that it&#8217;s pretty difficult for the nose of an air vehicle to be crushed (Read also; &#8220;Compacted, but still in one lousy piece&#8221;) <em>as well as</em> &#8220;torn&#8221; like a piece of flimsy paper, but immediately telling us how the wings had been &#8220;torn&#8221; off immediately afterward is just poor writing. Note the misspelling of the word &#8220;miracle&#8221; as &#8220;maracle&#8221;, showing that our would-be novelist has yet to acquaint himself with the most important tool in the modern author&#8217;s proverbial tool belt: Spellcheck.</p>
<blockquote><p>He then thought about home. Corneria would go looking for their hero, even if it meant saving the blue &#8220;traitor&#8221;. Surely Falco and Slippy would look for them. Afterall, Fox wasn&#8217;t just their friend, he was their employer. Without him, they&#8217;re out of a job.</p></blockquote>
<p>Krystal is a &#8220;traitor&#8221;, now? Once again: Something that would have been nice to fucking know earlier, without having to do any digging through his enormous pile of previous works. Also, the &#8220;logic&#8221; bit at the end is a bit silly, if you ask me. I would figure that Falco and Slippy being Fox&#8217;s friends would be more of a motivating factor than his happening to be their employer as well. Does the author mean to tell us that if there was no working obligation involved, Falco and Slippy would leave Fox for dead? I mean, after all: He&#8217;s only their fucking friend, right?</p>
<blockquote><p>But would they find him and Krystal? Probably not. The planet was in a different system, probably too far away from any Lylat-controlled system for any rescue to be possible. It probably didn&#8217;t really matter. Fox had grown to loathe the pressure that comes with hero status. He hated being criticized for merely getting the job done in a merely perfect matter. They wanted better than good. They wanted better than great. They wanted better than the best. One more mission and Fox would likely have drank himself to death.</p></blockquote>
<p>There&#8217;s probably a bit too much repetition in this paragraph. I reckon there probably is. This paragraph probably employs more annoying repetition than any other paragraph in this mess of a fanfiction. It probably doesn&#8217;t really matter, since this paragraph is the least of this fucking story&#8217;s problems. After all, we shouldn&#8217;t expect this to be written in a merely perfect matter. We shouldn&#8217;t expect better than good. We shouldn&#8217;t expect better than great. We shouldn&#8217;t expect better than the best. One more fanfiction like this and I&#8217;m probably going to drink myself to death.</p>
<blockquote><p>And what about Krystal? Lylat hated her for &#8220;betraying&#8221; their &#8220;hero&#8221;. They spat on her and pissed on her and pelted her with stones and garbage. They called her names and threw poo at her like monkeys. Had it not been for her love of Fox, she would have blown her brains out long ago.</p></blockquote>
<p>Jesus fucking Christ! That&#8217;s a bit fucking graphic, don&#8217;t you think? Are all the citizens of the Lylat system just whipping out their dicks whenever she walks by and giving her golden showers? Or do they give her a &#8220;breakfast in bed&#8221; sort of deal and break into her fucking house? The monkey metaphor doesn&#8217;t even fucking work, considering there are <em>actual monkeys</em> in the Star Fox universe. Unless, of course, there&#8217;s some previous chapter I didn&#8217;t bother to read in which all monkeys are wiped from the face of the galaxy by some sort of banana virus. I do love the idea of this couple being suicidal, though: Between Fox&#8217;s alcoholism and Krystal&#8217;s depression, you&#8217;d think the pair would just pull a Romeo and Juliet and vow to be &#8220;together in Heaven&#8221; or some shit.</p>
<blockquote><p>Maybe Fox should be thanking Slippy&#8217;s engine upgrade and its sudden malfunction. Had the engine not been crippled, he and Krystal would not have had this second chance.</p>
<p>&#8220;Second chance.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fox liked the sound of that. Second chance. They could start over. Fox could be a normal, nonfamous person for once and Krystal could finaly get the respect she deserved.</p></blockquote>
<p>What the fuck? Why is &#8220;Second chance&#8221; in quotations? Did Fox just blurt out the words during his situation assessment? The non-quotation dialogue isn&#8217;t actually his inner monologue or anything: It&#8217;s the narrator providing us with explanations [minus context]. It&#8217;s the narrator who put the words &#8220;Second chance&#8221; on the table. Unless Fox can hear the narrator talking in his head, there&#8217;s hardly any reason he should choose those specific words to say out loud. I&#8217;m telling you, man: &#8220;Normal, nonfamous people&#8221; don&#8217;t have to put up with shit like this.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;What happened?&#8221;</p>
<p>Krystal woke up with a blinding headache. She ran up to Fox, tears streaming down her face as she wrapped her arms tightly around her husband.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was so scared, Fox.&#8221;</p>
<p>She tried desperately to avoid crying until the urge grew too strong. Her sobs started quietly but grew louder until it was painfully obvious. Fox knew that it wasn&#8217;t just the crash. No. The crash was the final straw, the spark. The real reason she was crying was her shitty life in the Lylat system. It was the insults and the spit. It was the garbage tossed at her everywhere she went. Fox tried his best to calm her, to reassure her.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s alright&#8221; he told her, his arm holding her against him &#8220;It&#8217;s alright. That&#8217;s all in the past. You don&#8217;t have to worry about Corneria anymore. I&#8217;m here for you.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Forget the insults and the spit: People are tossing their fucking feces at her, for fucks sake! If you&#8217;re going to provide us with such extreme circumstances, why reference circumstances that seem so goddamn tame in comparison? You want to talk about her having a &#8220;shitty life&#8221;? Why not mention the fact that <em>people are literally tossing shit at her</em>?</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m here for you. Those four words were all she needed to feel better. He was always there for her, even if she didn&#8217;t want him to be. She knew that she didn&#8217;t have to worry as long as he was there for her.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fox nodded and walked back to the arwing. He had remembered about the emergency supplies. Even if the faulty emergency radio didn&#8217;t work, there was still the food and alcohol. He had always insisted on alcoholic beverages in the kits because water would contaminate easily and the alcohol would kill just about any harmful microbe that dared fall into the booze. Alcohol also had a calming effect, valuable when you were stressed and didn&#8217;t have to worry about flying.</p></blockquote>
<p>Alcoholics, take note: The next time the wife is nagging you about taking a six-pack along with you on your road trip, just tell the bitch that it&#8217;s to &#8220;avoid contamination&#8221;, and all those nasty microbes and shit. Then slap her, right in her stupid bitch face, for daring to question you! You don&#8217;t have a fucking alcohol problem! You can quit whenever the fuck you want!</p>
<blockquote><p>Fox grabbed the kit and walked back to Krystal.</p>
<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s the plan&#8221; he told her &#8220;while you won&#8217;t find this system on any map, there were reports of inhabited planets in this region in the galaxy. Some with primitive societies, some with advanced. Civilization, no matter how primitive, means food and drinkable water. We simply need to locate food and water supplies while also finding shelter. Your staff is our only weapon, so we have to be careful not to attract any unwanted attention from hostile predators.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Look bitch,&#8221; he told her. &#8220;I don&#8217;t give a shit if you&#8217;re alright, or if your ass is sore from us crashing into this totally mysterious planet the narrator previously stated I had no knowledge of. I know for a goddamn fact that there are societies around here, including some ones with some pretty advanced shit. The reason they aren&#8217;t on a map is because they <em>refuse</em> to be on one. That&#8217;s how fucking advanced they are and shit: A bunch of pretentious, elitist, fucking assholes. Now, we&#8217;re going to find ourselves some fucking water, because I only packed enough booze in the emergency kit for me, and my seed isn&#8217;t going to be enough to satisfy your fat fucking gut, you cunt. Use that magical staff of yours if need be, but remember that it was only powerful enough to keep me safe throughout the entirety of a shitty Gamecube game, so don&#8217;t go crying too loud and attracting hostile predators. Now, suck my dick for good luck!&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>Krystal nodded and followed him as he ventured out into the forest. She didn&#8217;t know if they were going to survive, but Fox&#8217;s plan sure beat waiting by the wreckage for rescue that might never come.</p></blockquote>
<p>I hope they get lost in a tree maze and fucking starve to death. The end.</p>

<blockquote><address><em>I Refuse </em></p>
<p>The more you kick me,<br />
The more I refuse to lay down,<br />
The more you mock,<br />
The more I refuse to take it.</p>
<p>I refuse,<br />
To be treated like this,<br />
I refuse,<br />
To allow you access to my heart,<br />
I refuse,<br />
To let you know me.</p>
<p>The more you try to degrade,<br />
The more I&#8217;m going to speak out,<br />
The more hatred you send,<br />
The more I laugh at your intolerance.</p>
<p>I refuse,<br />
To have you hurt me,<br />
I refuse,<br />
To let you get away,<br />
I refuse,<br />
To not take a stand.</p>
<p><em> Take A Stand </em></p>
<p>I am not so alone,<br />
This fight is for us all,<br />
Lend me your hand,<br />
Refuse to conform.</p>
<p>I am one being,<br />
One being in millions,<br />
One person yet a strong voice,<br />
I reach out to you.</p>
<p>Lend me your strength,<br />
Take my hand,<br />
Do not be afraid,<br />
We, not them, will win.</p>
<p>In the end,<br />
We shall prevail,<br />
In the end,<br />
We will remain strong.</p>

<p>&#8220;I Refuse&#8221; and &#8220;Take A Stand&#8221; are extremely cliché terms to be used  in any kind of poem: Just look at the results for <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/#catpath=literature/poetry&amp;order=9&amp;q=I+Refuse">&#8220;I  Refuse&#8221;</a> and <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/#catpath=literature/poetry&amp;order=9&amp;q=Take+A+Stand">&#8220;Take  A Stand&#8221;</a>. &#8220;I Refuse&#8221;/&#8221;I refuse to&#8221; is basically a fancy way  to say &#8220;I DON&#8217;T WANNA&#8221;, whereas &#8220;Take a stand&#8221; is basically a fancy way to  say &#8220;TELL THOSE GUYS YOU DON&#8217;T WANNA&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote><p>Two poems I wrote for those of us in our crusade against bigotry and  hatred.</p>
<p>For <a href="http://redustrial.deviantart.com/">redustrial</a>, <a href="http://chocolatier-mihael.deviantart.com/">chocolatier-mihael</a>, and those of you I know who are a part of it and I just don&#8217;t know it.</p>
<p>Love and power to us all!</p></blockquote>
<p>The problem with these messages is that they ALWAYS fail to be inspiring, especially when a bunch of whiny prepubescent brats and nerds use them to boost their crippled spirits and hide out from reality a little longer by &#8220;expressing their feelings&#8221; in faux poem format, particularly whenever someone reminds them how nerdly or bratty or fat they are.</p>
<p>Here is a basic, expert translation of the above &#8220;poetry&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>I DONT WANNA EAT MY CAULIFLOWER</em><em><br />
I DONT WANNA GO TO GYM CLASS</em><br />
<em>I DONT WANNA<br />
TELL THOSE GUYS YOU DONT WANNA</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>THE INTERNET TERRORISTS</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>TELL THEM YOU DONT WANNA CRY<br />
</em><em>TELL THEM YOU DONT WANNA SCREAM<br />
</em><em>TELL THEM I AM RUBBER YOU ARE GLUE<br />
TELL THEM THEY DONT HAVE A CLUE</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>WE ARE STRONG, THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO REMIND OURSELVES ALL THE TIME BECAUSE WE ARENT ALWAYS SURE</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>WE WILL WIN THE DUMB INTERNET WAR!!!!1</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>(Note to self: calling a fat girl &#8220;fat&#8221; leads to poetry that no one needs to be subjected to&#8230; I hope that this isn&#8217;t what anyone wanted.)</p>
<blockquote><p><em>We are bound,<br />
Together we&#8217;re one,<br />
One voice, One Hope,<br />
The end&#8230; Is nigh&#8230; </em></p></blockquote>
