I hate writer's block. I also hate it when you know exactly what you want to draw and you can draw the stick-figure/rough draft design of it, but when you try to flesh it out at all it looks like the thing your drawing has had all of its limbs dislocated from your inability to draw them in a half-way accurate pose. So I can't write and I can't draw. And I can't read because every book I've picked up this summer has started out incredibly good then they just turn ... just no. Bad. *sigh* Does anyone have a suggestion for a good book? One that's clean? Or...mostly-clean? Violence is fine.

Oookay, anyway. On the bright side, I think I've (maybe) figured out how to (kind of) draw people(-like things)! I think it looks good, but the jury's still out on this one. So yea, sketchdump coming. Nothing good enough to get its own space and title.

Yar, something's taking up my bandwidth. So, 'nough talking.



Quiz stealing time!

Stolen from
And this time I think I'll use Zale. A character who doesn't get much love. He's Pyran's nephew.

1. Easy one. What's your character's name?
Zale. Just Zale. He doesn't have a last name, because his dad doesn't have a last name either, and they don't know who his grandfather is.

2. Now what's his/her damage? There must be something wrong with the (wo)man.
Like...his weakness? Well, he's definitely too friendly, if that's possible. Quick to trust and somewhat naive. Also, his ability to be serious is crippled.

3. Anything good about your character?
Just take your typical, over-used good-guy cliche and slap it on him. That's more or less it.

4. What's your character's world like?
Oh gosh, now that takes a complicated answer. It's the same as Pyran's world, though. Okay, in a nutshell, it's populated by furry/anthro-like beings, it's a little bit on the futuristic side, more like post-apocalypse futuristic, but the main mode of transportation is still beasts of burden. The people are very familiar with guns and fighting for their lives, but unfamiliar with wars. This is because the environment is far from friendly and people are usually too busy trying to stay alive to start up a war among themselves. Wars have happened, but few and far-between.

5. Does he/she have any significant others? Would he/she make an ideal partner for anyone?
Flirts with a lot of girls. He's definitely the sort who would get married real fast, except that he's still young and he travels a lot, so hitching up with a girl is difficult.

6. What does your character do when he/she is upset?
He might try to humor his way out of it. But when real bad times come he's the silent type, blocking everyone else out. He rarely blows a fuse, and even when he's mad people still have a hard time taking him seriously.

7. What kind of occupation does your character have?
Still in school.

8. What is your character afraid of?
What's everyone afraid of? Dying, of course.

9. Is your character satisfied with who he/she is?
Very much so. He's full of himself, but he tries not to rub it in everyone else's face.

10. What's your character's idea of a good time?
Daredevil stunts.

11. Your character is alone in a restaurant, staving to death, and someone's left a delicious juicy burger behind. He/she knows it's somebody else's because the person wrote a note asking your character NOT to eat the burger. What do they do?
He eats it. He has a conscience, and a strong one at that, but food...well, food falls under a different category.

12. Actually, your character wasn't alone in the last question. He/she just notices a police officer is watching the burger rather intently. In fact, it's probably the police officer's burger. What would your character do now?
He'd look up at the officer and ask him why he'd written a note to Zale and how he'd known his name and that he was going to eat it. He's perceptive. Then he might make some fat police officer crack and end up on a ride down to the station.

What would your character do if he/she..
1. Had to fight off a pack of five-year olds?
Surrender. Lol, he can't fight five-year-olds.
2. Was stuck in a foreign country where he/she didn't speak the local lingo?
Somehow or another, he'd end up in jail.
3. Was hit by a basket of Atlantic salmon?
Augh! Ah! What the...HEY, FISH! *munches*
4. Had to save to world?
He'd try. He'd more than likely fail if he didn't have some serious help, though. His world is freaking scary on its own, so anything that's a threat to it doesn't exactly scream piece of cake.
5. Was dropped into the middle of a busy street in the modern world?
Like, our world? *shoo-da-woop!*
Zale: Holy crap, these creatures are ugly.

Does your character like...
1. Birthdays?
Does a fish like water?
2. Sunsets?
They're okay. He isn't really the poetic type.
3. Flesh-eating diseases?
Pyran's rotting ear turned him off the stuff.
4. Democracy?
Yea, I guess. He prefers true democracy, though, rather than a republic. Republic governments get corrupted easily. Admittedly, democracies are prone to human stupidity, but Zale's still an optomist.

Would your character ever..
1. Get Facebook?
Definitely. But he'd never keep up with it--probably drop it within the first week.
2. Be loved?
Definitely. He fits that romantasim cliche that girls like.
3. Read Shakespeare?
Heck no.
4. Breakdance?
Definitely. He hasn't yet, though.
5. Push someone into a swamp?
Maaaybeee... He'd make sure they could get back out though.



Yea, Zale's very cliche. XD Tha's kay. He's meant to be a nice break from emo Pyran and the rest of the psycho cast.

And that's all.
