Cactus Codex

(All gifing aside, the vulva is on the outside and is the one we see most of the time. So…)

But I don’t waaaant tooooooo!

Try harder.

Hell yes.

Even online, I still have issues with keeping up conversations and end up making a fool of myself with derailing topics and chat-killing comments.

I am proud to be part of this fandom. It has changed the way I think about fandoms in general, and made me a slightly more social person.

But I’d like my status as a brony to remain online or when I’m with friends or at conventions (as if).

I wouldn’t wear any brony clothes, or mention it much, if ever. But I admit that I hum “This Day Aria" occasionally and no one knows what it is. I would like a little toy to keep on my desk, though. :3

I’d like to keep my identity a secret. (Some of you may know my first name.) But you might get a photo of good ol’ PC mod one day.

Much of my first drawings were practice.

I don’t admit this as much because I'm embarrassed by it. But when I started drawing fanart for MLP, I drew them as stick people.

I know, I know. Lame. But at the time, I was under the impression that I could never draw a pony. So this was the best I could do.

Until I actually drew one in December 2011. Took my 2 hours with a reference. Eventually, I could draw a simple pony in 20 minutes. Back then, I drew with paper and pencil and scanned them to the computer. Comics were a pain to draw/compile and often took 8 hours to get right.

In order to add some color, I taught myself to vector in Inkscape. I practiced a bit by trace vectoring screenshots from the show, and then started vectoring original drawings. This was in February and March.

By April, I had a Wacom tablet. I had to practice using it, since it’s completely different from drawing directly on paper. The first PC comics were big practice sessions for me and looked rough and unpolished because of it. Hell, I’m still trying to perfect the lineless style.

So I guess you can say that I practice a lot.

Drawing and moderating PC and Diaries have taken up a huge chunk of my spare time.

But, I do find times to simply relax and read a book, or go out with friends to Six Flags or the mall. I watch a reasonable amount of TV (though not as much as I used to), and enjoy walking outside when the weather isn’t shit.

But it’s shit very often, so I just draw instead. :P

Canada, man. Something’s off about it…

(I’m kidding. I can’t really judge a country if I never visited it. But I heard that Australia is like living in the Spider House at a zoo. Also, countries that force women to dress like monoliths and treat them as such because of a religion get my downvote immediately.)

Yep. I’m not really public with the whole brony thing. But I have told my close friends about it.

No. I had a Facebook in 6th-8th grade.

By this time, I have broken contact with most of my pre-5th grade and went to another school because of bullying issues. I basically restarted my social life at this new school.

When I first signed up, she found me, asked about me, and wanted to talk to me again. Hell no.

For the record, I didn’t close the account because of her.

I’m paranoid of a lot of things because of Tumblr drama. I consider it one of my biggest personality flaws. When a problem arises (even though it doesn’t involve me), I assume the worst and I end up panicking over things that don’t even affect me.

One big scare is the loss of interest. Since I can only update the blogs on free days (read: weekends), I’m worried that my followers will lose interest due to the long wait in between updates. So I sometimes end up rushing through stories for the sake of keeping up.

That’s my biggest regret. Slicing up good stories for the sake of time. But for these next parts, I won’t do that.

I don’t have a crush on anyone right now.

I did once, in 4th grade. And I was able to tell her about it and we started “dating.” But it turns out, she was a psychopathic bitch, so we “broke up.”

I’m pretty sure she never got over it. She stalked my Facebook page (before I closed it) and constantly sent me friend requests that I kept denying. Now that I look back, I wonder why I ever liked her…

It’s that time of the week again.

TMI Tuesday!

So rape consensually press that ask button!

 appreciation to those on tumblr that have changed my life.
