or what I did instead of paying attention in General Biology 1408 class... approach at your own risk there are 11 sketches... not doodles in the margins, SKETCHES.

( On the other side of the looking-glass... )

As your local people-friendly-ish nerd/geek/dork/whatever kids are calling it nowadays, I felt compelled to write about two new series from comic book juggernauts Marvel and DC.

Both released this week two series centered around a team of super-powered women (relatively speaking). Marvel has its lulztastic, good for a fun read "Marvel Divas," which involve the B-Listers (read the preview over at Marvel.com) Firestar, Photon, Black Cat, and Hellcat trying to get a move on with life and not be tied down by being superheroes... well save for Black Cat right? It's pretty funny so far and I want to read the rest of it once it actually releases tomorrow :3. My only complaint: NEEDS MOAR DIVERSITY. The one Mexican superheroine is pretty much unknown boo you whores. Which is why I must work at Marvel.

Moving on... I read the entirety of DC's "Gotham City Sirens" #1, which is going to be pretty badass. Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn and Catwoman in one series? That's a whole lotta fierce. It's more serious than the former but it seems like it's going to be a good series too. Very different from "Marvel Divas." Even the name already tells you it's gonna be something a little more serious, plus we're gonna see the nice and possibly bitchier sides of DC's most famous villains as they team up after the tumultuous events of "Battle for the Cowl" and

There's probably been other supergirl series and teams (lol B.A.D. Girls), but I'm glad they're still at it because we all hate Mary Sues which is why I hate Nico from "Runaways" and I'm also glad that Marvel went with some more out-of-the-way characters instead of typical Emma Frost, Jean Grey, etc. etc. (even though they do make a cameo, they're too A-List for the girls ha) and a team of badass villain women is just WOAH.

Anyway, point of this post is to go read it if you like comics.

1.) Why, oh WHY do people insist on purposely getting drunk? IDGAF if you get drunk, but when you make it a point, you have issues. You had a tough break-up? Ok, sure, I'll let it slide, but every fucking time? Just no. While you have yourself a good time, you're fucking up your body and shortening your lifespan. Have fun with that.

2.) For once I'd like to go to a party in which not 95% of the people are actually passed out. Is it too much to ask for people to just socially drink and not get wasted? Is it? Apparently so.

3.) Is getting drunk REALLY that fun? It doesn't seem like it. I like to be in control, know what is going on. Now why the hell would you want to not remember what you did? Why would you not be aware of your surroundings? Do you really want to make out with that creep that has been staring at you for the past hour due to the fact that you are inebriated and can't distinguish much? I thought so.

4.) A party does not require alcohol. Enough said.

5.) Be a good friend. Don't fucking post drunk pictures of each other. Big Brother is watching your every move. Also, that's a bit dick imho.

I blame all of my former friends for giving me this bad insight into all house parties. I'm sure not all are like that, or at least, not to the everyone piss-ass drunk extent. It's some sort of weekend hobby, I don't know. I can enjoy myself and be stupid without the aid of alcohol. Is it a societal thing that has been inbred into the minds' of teenagers to make them seem cool and appear rebellious? Maybe.

Someone prove me wrong about all this because at this rate I feel like I will be a social outcast, a hermit, and friendless. It baffles the mind about how much life revolves around alcohol when you're a high school/college student.

/end rant

I just thought I should update this bad boy... maybe what's going on in my life?

1. drawing a lot of characters for a comic book concept that I plan to talk to Marvel about, and by talk I mean send a letter and beg for them to at least give me a chance.
2. kept writing my vampire novel lol I really need to just sit my ass down and write without getting online. I should go to a Starbucks where they charge me for internet so I won't get online.
3. rediscovered my love for Ryan Reynolds. see the icons.
4. got an upgraded account from an anon <3333
5. got a tablet, still need to keep practicing with it.
6. FINISHED SPN OMG I HATE YOU RUBY AND SAM.

that's it for now. XP

So, for Postmortem, I have a character... her name is Charlotte but everyone calls her Charlie... she's something of a doctor but only helps vampires because according to her humans are too fragile to work with... yeah yeah spare me the twilight crap I had come up with her character before I knew there was the good doctor who's willing to take a look...

anyway, this character... all I know is that she has raven-black hair... other than that I haven't quite decided what she looks like... so some ideas would be lovely

also, names for characters would be fantastical

Well, then, everyone obsessed with Twilight wants a vampire boyfriend. All fine and dandy... but let's see... there's some problems with this... let's start with a big fat obvious one:

1. Vampires are dead.
That's pretty self-explanatory. They are dead. That's gross, you necropheliac. Well... I'll explain another point later... now this leads me to...

2. Vampires have no soul.
Alright, so there may be some of you who don't go with this soul stuff but this plays a big part in vampire mythology. As beings that are dead, their souls have left their bodies... in essence, they don't have emotions because emotions are part of the soul. Therefore, they don't have true feelings. To further this theory I'll be adding bits and pieces of my own ideas that are part of my future novel. The reason they show feelings, again in my novel, is because it's been ingrained in them. They know how to react to situations, but they don't actually feel it. They are empathetic beings.

3. Vampires NEED human blood.
It's not an issue of, "oh hai human I'm nice I'm gonna go drink some animal blood." No. They drink human blood to keep themselves healthy... if you've read Dracula, their preference is beautiful women and strong men. Part of their payment, I guess, to live forever. Sure, I guess they'll go on and on with animal blood if need be, but it's human blood. Plus, it's just more badass like that if it's humans.

4. Vampires are lusty beings.
This issue with love? Yeah, already disproven with the no-soul deal. But they are also lusty. How the hell do you think vampires were able to get their blood? It's not like they asked nicely. Sex appeal is a big deal in vampire mythology and they sexed up their victims before going for the kill. Like I said, read Dracula.

Other random things that I'd like to point out that makes the entirety of Twilight look bad. In other words, Wikipedia is more useful.

1. Vampires aren't actually pale.
Again, going back to Dracula, vampires don't get pale unless they don't have blood in their system. They actually look healthier than average, being described with rosy cheeks (in the case of women) and whatnot. On the other hand, they look very old and sick when they don't drink blood. I guess you could say they age.

2. Vampires have fangs.
Please, bitch. How the hell do you THINK they drink blood? Drain them? Good job. You're brilliant. Get out of here.

3. Vampires are not stone.
Good Lord... stone? STONE? Are you stupid? They didn't get petrified. How sexy is that, having a body of stone and not in a good way? How would they be able to ~attract~ their prey?

4. Vampires don't have psychic powers.
Seriously.

5. VAMPIRES DON'T FUCKING DAZZLE.
Need not explain.

I'm getting all srs bsns here but shiieeet Smeyer it's called Wikipedia... and if you want to ~revolutionize~ a vampire, at least be sensible about it and have it all make sense? Pls? Make it, oh, I don't know... COHERENT?

I may be posting the prologue chapters of Postmortem (my novel) later, but let me warn you of a couple of things...

- There's a good deal of cussing... after 700 years of living, I'm sure a vampire would stop caring about being politically correct
- Drug addictions... as vampires, I'm sure they would find some way to try and feel some sort of something since they have no souls and emotions are part of the soul in my novel so all they have is physical feelings
- Messed up relationships... yes, the humans in my novel have something wrong with them, they aren't perfect and I wouldn't want them to be perfect
- Diversity in characters... it's not really a warning lol but I will have a big variety of characters

These among others will be in the novel and I don't want you guys to freak out on me

I don't get it. I don't. There are so many things wrong with it that I can't believe people like it in this modern age.

For instance, in this age of strong female roles, Bella is a weak-willed, self-critical to a fault, moaning girl. Please. Why would you even LIKE a girl like this? All of my guy friends would be turned off. It really is ridiculous. And then a stalker vampire boyfriend? Dude, I'd call the cops. And if I knew he was a vampire, I'd go to the nearest Catholic church and have them make a silver stake dipped in holy water for me.

And the writing? Please. Poor fanfiction at best. My fanfiction from the 8th grade was better and more original than that.

Ugh. I could rant more, but I'm too lazy...

Laters, more to come.
