Why Magical Girl Raising Project Doesn't Work
An Anime Review by BHS
You may have noticed that I like magical girls. A lot.
The first anime I ever fell in love with was Sailor Moon, and I've loved the genre ever since. I've seen pretty much all of the classics: Cardcaptor Sakura, the various Precure series, the Nanoha franchise, Cutey Honey, Tokyo Mew Mew, the works.
As should be obvious by now, Puella Magi Madoka Magica has had a profound influence on me. Ever since I first saw it in 2011, it's been one of my all-time favorite series. Like Evangelion did with mecha shows, it tore apart and deconstructed all the standard tropes, and in doing so elevated the genre. So naturally, given

Emergency-YoungJustice :Robin:
Red Tornado was out on a mission. No one was there to stop him. And so, waking up feeling like crap wasn't going to stop Robin from watching his Saturday morning cartoons.
And he didn't feel like crap.
Or at least that's what he tried to tell himself as he forced himself out of bed. The floor froze under his feet, but at the same time, he was sweating buckets- how the hell did that work? He pushed the thought out of his mind, taking the entire comforter off the bed and wrapping it around himself. He then opened the door and ventured out into the Secret Sanctum. The halls were empty, leaving his footsteps to echo off the walls.

War Treads
By Kira Li Caldwell
Peace, no.
Love, far away.
Chosen to fight
And broken away
From family
And memories,
Living in fear,
Will I live the next day?
Hatred boils,
And your heart aches.
War treads on...
Mami fiddled with the ruffles on her dress, unsatisfied with the rough fabric against her legs. The large bow on the back of her dress didn't help matters, as it made it hard to sit back on the seat. "Will we be there soon?" she asked.
Her mother glanced back at her over the seat. "We'll be there soon. It's not too far now. Don't ruffle your dress like that. It's not becoming of a little girl."
Frowning, Mami glanced out the window as they drove along the freeway. Lights twinkled and cars sped past. She liked her dress just fine. It was very pretty, and she loved pretty clothes. She just didn't like pretty clothes that were uncomfortable. S

Unique Character Design Tips
In my opinion, these are the most important factors in any character design: color, concept, shape, simplicity, cohesiveness, repeatability, personality and uniqueness.
Color: Any design with colors all over the place creates too many places for the eye to look. Keep your color design very simple and zen. Looking at the colors shouldn't be jarring or confusing. This isn't to say only use one color, not at all, but try to make sure the ones you use are harmonious. Avoid mixing and matching different saturations of the same color or picking colors that clash with one another.
My rule of thumb: Stick to no more than three base colors and some
“Grow up.” They say.
“Make something original.” They say.
“If you can’t do it for money, why do it at all?” They ask.
They say lots of things.
Other people say things too:
“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” ― C.S. Lewis
“Most people don't grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.”
― Maya Angelou
"When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do. And one thing it takes to accomplish something is courage."
Hey guys, I decided to post this little Journal after having encountered lots of things that are really hard to understand due to the fact that they are completely illogical (if not stupid).
:bulletblue: First Point:bulletblue:
I know that most of you have encountered at least one thief who steals either drawings, or stories or photos from other artists and claims them as their own. Sadly, this has been happening more often than not and I would even dare say that the number of thieves out there has increased. No matter how annoying they are, we all know they are easy to deal with, especially if you have proof that the art/story/picture was

Sora x Reader : Birthday Tiem
"Happy Birthday~!" You burst into Sora's room with a huge smile on your face. The aroma of chocolate chip pancakes wafted to Sora's nose and woke him up in a matter of miliseconds.
You beamed as his head shot up, due to the instinct of your wonderful cooking. Sora yawned and streched, and smiled back as you set the tray on his lap.
"Thank you, _____!" Sora hugged you tightly, his eyes wandering over to the tray with delight.
There were five large choco chip pancakes piled on each other, and a blob of peanut butter on the side, with apple slices making a flower on the top of the pile. Fresh squeezed orange juice, and a single white rose in w
The door shut behind her, none too gently. However, Kyouko was too busy to be bothered by such trivialities as consideration for nearby neighbors. She knelt by the front door, fumbling with the laces on her boots. She'd just recently bought them with the last bit of cash she'd saved; her other pair had worn thin. Breaking in the boots was proving to be harder than she had thought. They were still far too stiff for her tastes. Kyouko pulled the last knot free and kicked both boots to the side of the door, watching them fall haphazardly over each other.
Kyouko stretched and yawned, heading for the bedroom that had been deemed hers. She passed
Late afternoon sunlight streamed through the windows of her apartment as she opened the door. She flipped the light switch absentmindedly as she set her schoolbag on the floor. She traded school shoes for slippers, and walked into the kitchen, humming a tune to herself. She had had trouble all day concentrating on the lessons. Her mind was focused on her latest creation that she would bake after school. The teacher had reprimanded her for such absentmindedness, and though it embarrassed her slightly, she didn't mind too much.
School was finished and at last she could relax. In no time, she had set up the ingredients upon the table, along wit
