tip: When you’re at an airport, add “?.jpg” at the end of any URL to bypass the expensive WiFi and access the Internet for free.

this actually works wtf

Not sure if it works. Does anyone know?

I have never once been at an airport that doesn’t offer free wifi.

Newark Liberty is the only airport I’ve been to that has pay-per-minute wifi. And it’s the regional airport, so it’s annoying as fuck.

Never tried this trick, though. I usually just sit near the first class lounges and leech off of them.

GAAAAAH I’M SO FUCKING ANGRY (Rollercoaster of emotion time)

But reblogging that post with a public message of discontent is not the right thing to do.

Best to do it in private.

Sorry about that.

The last one of the donation thingies for broken-pen.
Request was to draw his and Cactus’ ponysona playing with dolls. And when it comes down to it, aren’t we all (metaphorically speaking) doing the same?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU WANT PROOF, CACTUS MAN?

HERE’S YOUR PROOF

OMGGGGGGGG SHE’S ADORABLE.

Not exactly PC glasses, though. But it does look like sosweetiebelle’s glasses.

3,000 posts!

Thank you barontristan.

WHAT

PROOF. I NEED PROOF.

You know what’s one of my fears on this site?

Making a post that is worded imperfectly and ends up upsetting people even though I never intended for that to happen.

You know what’d be cool?

If ask blog artists (primarily speaking to the digital ones) got together and did a “Traditional Art Week” or something.

Everyone would ditch the tablet for a week and update their blog solely using traditional media. Pens, pencils, crayons, paints, etc!

That’d be awesome!

lilboulder:

I’m getting absolutely sick of the ‘traditional ask blogs aren’t worth pursuing’ mentality

They may be in the minority but there are plenty of traditional ask blogs that are very successful, and claiming that digital art is necessary to be a decent blog is complete bullshit

If you want to start…

It’s a bit of both.

Obviously, WIP scripts for PC and Diaries are rather confidential. So no peeking.

But I do have ideas for fanfics and such. Many of them have been started but shelved for the moment.

An old one is a zombie apocalypse short story/comic about a mare with a foal looking for the foal’s parents in an abandoned city riddled with the undead and whatnot. (Lucky)

There’s also a sad ghost story starting Sweetie and Scootaloo. Need I say more? (Zero Days)

On the lewder side, I have a fic idea about Spike dealing with mares and their battle with the heat cycle. Oddly enough, it’s not a clopfic. It’s maturely themed, but there’s no sex as the focus. That one’s fun to write. (The Garden State)

One is a more comedic story about Rumble and Dinky trapped in a ditch for two hours and they keep trying to cope with each other. This one is a bit cool because it’s PC’s first official spinoff fic. (Diabetics and Detours)

On the note of spinoffs, Diaries may also get a companion fic that acts as a universe-builder. (The Immigrant’s Guide to Equestria)

There’s a lot more floating around, but too underdeveloped or secret to mention.

I’d like to show some WIPs.

But I actually don’t have any drawn ones at the moment.

I do have written ones, though, if that entices some people.

I need to do more mod things.

Instead of doing short quips about everyday life and shit.

Then again, I don’t exactly know what a mod is supposed to do (besides work on his/her blog).

Halp.

If you know TJ, you know that the man’s withstood a lot.

Between vicious family drama, Tumblr shenanigans, having to move back home, being unable to find a job despite several months of continued job-hunting, and others, it’s painfully obvious that the man needs a break. He needs something to go his way, something (or should I say someone) to help him out in this time of need.

Hence, the foundation for this drive. If you want to read what he said on the above topic, his vent can be found here. (Note: please treat it with the respect vents would normally be given, aka don’t be a douche).

I went around to all the artists I knew and proposed to them that we get together and draw commissions to help him out, and a motley crew responded. Big artists, small artists, even a musician came out and agreed to work together in order to help him out! I’m sure that many of you will recognize many of the drawblogs represented in the above images.

Now, we need your help. By clicking this link or this link, you can access spreadsheets that give the details as to what sorts of things you can commission in order to help TJ. The first is sorted by Artist, and the second is sorted by Money. That way, if you’re only interested in getting something from a particular artist, you can look at the first spreadsheet, but if you have a set budget and want to see what you can get from who, you can use the second spreadsheet. To navigate them, you can either use the provided links or the sheet navigator on the bottom.

(Even if you want to just donate, please commission something. He’s the sort of person who feels guilty when someone who donated money doesn’t get anything in return.)

Once you’ve decided what you want, please email Fisherpon at aaron_siebenga@hotmail.com with the information. Which artist you want to commission from, what you want to commission, and necessary references. That will start the process of this drive, which is explained in a seperate post to keep this post from being super-long.

If you want to ask questions regarding the drive, feel free to send me messages about it. You can also send your Skype address via this method if you want, which will be answered privately. All publicly answered questions about the drive will be tagged #teej drive.

As you may notice, this drive has no specific end date. This drive will go on as long as there are artists willing to donate their work for it. Hence, you should get your commission as soon as possible, in case the artist you want it from drops out before you go for it. 

If you are an artist and want to participate, everyone and anyone’s welcome to join! Just use the same contact methods as above to get ahold of me and let me know. I’ll need the name you want to be identified as, any drawblogs/tumblrs/DAs/FAs you have, the types of things you want to offer, the prices you want to offer those things at, and examples.

Hopefully our help can alleviate the pressure TJ’s under, so that he can enjoy life more and we can continue to enjoy his friendship and work.

FOR TJ!

…I realize that starting this drive right after Christmas probably wasn’t the best idea, since everyone would have already spent all their money.

However, now that we’re into February, I think this is a good time to repromote this! (I would’ve done it right on Feb 1, but I felt that with the Morones drive in full swing then that was a more deserving cause.)

The drive is still going on, and we’ve raised about $440 so far. Teej’s troubles are far from over, though. Between bills, the US job market being complete shit, and other shenanigans, he’s far from being able to return and be everyone’s favourite pun pirate. Help us help him out by commissioning an artist today!
