1. yeah. crackdowns. dammit'all. been doing my own webcomic thing these last couple months and wasn't really paying attention, but when i actually went back to my usual viewing site, i've found they've removed all links. grr. now i really have to dig.
and, random tangent, i don't see what the big deal is anyway. i screen manga before i get into my car, somehow survive traffic to drive to the bookstore, and buy the paperback version. just like, i screen movies to make sure their appropriate, before i spend $50 bucks to take my nephews to see it in the theatre. if you don't buy clothes without trying them on first, why on earth would you treat your media any differently? especially when it's so damn expensive. end random tangent.
and back on topic, um, no. Sasuke didn't off Orochimaru so you can take those points back. Itachi gets rid of Orochimaru. and i am really hoping you are that far along, if not i am truly sorry for the spoiler but i had to set the record straight. sasuke already gets too much credit for crap he doesn't do. Sai. i really like him too, but in general he gets cameo appearances after his storyline is over. kinda sucks for him. and then there's the stereotypes. *sigh* as a mostly Black male i take offense, but at the same time i'm kinda grateful that non-Black artists all over the planet are beginning to realize there are other than White people in the world. and then i think hey, if M. Night Shyamalan ever gets the rights to make a Naruto movie, he'll just make all brown-skinned characters white anyway, so all's well. please to forgive my sarcasm.
ficlet: well, i'm in no hurry on that. Wish, well, i wanted to write more for nanowrimo anyway, so a cursory glance and a few pointers would be nice, but no rush. i understand that you're busy.
2. its not that had any real idea of what you'd call yourself. in my experience the Melissa's and Samantha's of the world tend to be morons. you strike me as an intelligent person so it was just unexpected that you'd want a vapid name like that. (my apologies to any smart Melissa's or Samantha's in your acquaintance). i do understand gender ambiguity. my favorite cousin has a stereotypical Black female name. and it kills her that when people hear he name they can't reconcile, her face, her mannerisms, her intelligence, or her dignity with her name. if ever a name didn't fit, this is it. so she uses a ambiguous name instead of her own. i was actually talking to her when i posed that question to you.
3. i recently acquired those episodes. and i was watching, and i was like, "holy crap, the cartoons i grew up on, really weren't meant for children. wow. looking at it now, i can see the innuendo, i can see where they edited the foul language out. i understand why my dad was cool with watching saturday morning cartoons with us, while he wouldn't do that with little brother (born 7 years after me). and A:tLA is one of the cartoons i sat my father down to watch after he saw the movie adaptation. i told him the movie wasn't on par with the cartoon so i had to prove it.
side note: Dante Basco was turned down for the role of Zukko. how do you turn down the VOICE of Zukko for Zukko in the movie? wtf is the world coming to when Rufio is turned away?
4. s'ok. he's mostly over it now and he offered this assessment though i told him taste is subjective and varies from person to person (thank God).
"Gina Torres, that's a fine woman right there, i agree. her lips look natural, full, juicy, healthy, and like they belong on her face. Angelina Jolie has had cosmetic surgery done to look the way she does (apparently that's like right of passage in Hollywood but, my opinion - no great improvement there.) anyhow, her lips look like an ongoing allergic reaction is causing them to swell in unsightly, infected clumps. like a bad collagen injection or something."
