You mean amazing, right? That's one of the greatest pictures I've ever seen. That loving giant cat. :shobon:

e: I think Santa is holding a gun, but it's covered up by the text. Everything about that picture is awesome.

It's clearly the Yule Cat. It's a monster in Icelandic folklore that kills people who don't receive new clothes for say Christmas like they're supposed to.

I wrote a fanfiction 6 years ago that I abandoned because I'd written myself into a corner. But 6 years later, this morning, it resulted in this pure magic in my hotmail Inbox under the title A new review has been sumbitted to Fanfiction.net:

quote:

YaoiFan-Girl:oh thank god! this is an awesome story! always was bothered by
the fact that jack has no pride and so in the an evil guy can be funny AND
still show some pride! i mean there we have an evil genius boy, who can make
robots (all by himself in a matter of what? an hour?) like WOW! an boy with an
pretty cool style (well for me cuz dunno it's pretty cool) and amazingly
smart! and as what is he presented?! an whiny idiot loser ... man that not
only that but he gets making fun of by the bad guys (hell even megan! his
family!) and the GOOD guys! seriously those guys can be bigger jerks as every
single evil guy there O
actually even as kid i liked jack the most cuz he seemed more like to be the
poor victim i felt so sorry for him! almost like the creator really, REALLY
hated jack! who knows maybe jack spacer was based of an person from the
creators life and he really wants him to i dunno, but it seems like it's not
even funny to see the not real boy being bullied by for me it backfired badly
in making jack like that and i just ended up wanting jack to snap! or give him
some pride! he can still be our funny and evil (and cute) boy, but come on!

however this story made me really no weird drama backstory or anything, just
jack having some thanks and i hope the creator comes across ya story and
learns a bit from

My crappy little story finally drew out something amazing (if a little sad)

I'm not sure who should be made fun of the most here:
1. The girl who wrote that ridiculous review.
2. You, for admitting you wrote fan fic.
3. Me, for managing to realize, even through that disjointed mess, that you were writing a fic for Xiaolin Showdown because I used to watch that show obsessively.

I don't think I've ever actually run into a situation in real life where someone is offended when someone else says "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays". I mean most people I know that either are jewish or not religions think Christmas is awesome cause it's still a fun jolly ol' time. And I don't understand getting mad at companies that say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. Most companies don't want to be exclusive guys! They want everyone to buy what they're sellin so they include everyone! You are still allowed to say Merry Christmas if you want no one is actually getting mad!

Wait it sounds like you're describing people who would get mad if you said "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas," Macaluso was talking about the other way around. Unless the American South and small town Midwest has a bunch of militant atheists that I wasn't aware of.

Are there out of work Doctors? I mean who have their licenses. I've never met a Doctor with a license that couldn't find work somewhere, clinics are always understaffed. Or is Oboobalooba-care the reason 65,000 more people didn't go into med school 7 years ago? Or is this guy advocating that the US taxpayers should fund 65,000 new Oblackguy-care med school scholarships so that we can staff new taxpayer funded OhelpmeImracist-care state of the art hospitals? Holy crap, maybe this guy is actually really progressive.

My former stepsister writes it CHRISTmas, you know, so you don't forget what it's all about.

Some family members get pissed off and post memes about "Happy Holidays" and telling you who to boycott this year. What I don't get is that none of them are particularly religious or devout, and zero of them visit a house of worship regularly, if ever. I'm pretty sure it's just a jab against Muslims and Jews.

I love people who get angry about people using the word Xmas because they think it's not sufficiently christian. The "X" actually represents the greek letter "Chi", which is the first letter of "Christ" when spelt out in Greek and was a common abbreviation/representation of Christ's name in early christian art, and has been used in English vernacular since at least 1753.

I think if this guy is using his octopus rape art as part of a wider representation of the far-reaching and rapid cultural changes of his land, then he can have a pass. Otherwise, he's just a creepy motherfucker.

I went back and checked his twitter and that wasn't the first time he tweeted the octopus rape art. He tweeted it few days back, with the title "tentacle consent."
