So close to the finish!
1 min read
Ugh! So I'm close to completing my Unova Pokedex, you know? the one that nobody else seems to care about...
So I'm missing Vullaby/Mandibuzz, Reshiram, Tornadus, and Landorus, I wander if anyone has one of those spare?
Thanks in advance!

Hmmm...

Recently I find myself thinking; What is the difference between porn and artistic nude? Where does the line of separation fall, or is it too blurred to tell?
At risk of being trolled I shall give my thoughts to the web...
For me nudity can be considered art and is not at all porn IF presented properly! A picture of a person wither her legs wide open, with the camera zoomed so far in that it might as well be pressed between their legs; THAT is CLEARLY porn! However on the flip side a person might strike a pose, yet appear naked, this could very well be considered art. (See André-J: andre-j.deviantart.com/ for a good example of this)
Now as always with such subjects there is a definite grey area, it is still possibly to create art while posing nude (even if the person's legs are wide open), however it has to be done in a way that looks art like; e.g. siting astride a horse or that gym equipment whose name I forget, another way in which a picture with nudity, and wide open legs could be considered art yet again falls to posing.
So perhaps this is the answer to the question then? The difference between the core difference between Artistic Nude and Pornography is all in the presentation of the model, or models, within the piece in question; Once you realise this it is merely down to your own perceptions of what is and is not acceptable. (That is still not an excuse to go trolling people!)
Following the end of that paragraph I could go off on a tangent and begin ranting about how I'd like to bash sense in to people who leave comments such as; I hate this bla bla bla... On that I only have this to say: YOU know what you do and don't like, YOU have eyes, if YOU don't like what YOU see, DON'T click on it, DON'T click comment, and DON'T ram YOUR opinion down the artist's/writer's/whatever's throat!
Peace~
Edit #1: Actually there are parameters in which inclusion of the lower sexual organ in a picture can be considered art, but that mainly fails outside of the whole photography area and without outside input from other people, I can't say much on it for the above subject matter.
Edit #2: A quote from a good friend: 'I really don't have the first clue about what's art and what's not, but I pretty much have the same opinion as you. Porn is clearly when the drawing/picture is supposed to look 'sexy' - and thus modelled as such. Artistic nudity is when the arousal of the viewers isn't the point'

Project Luna
4 min read
(Ignore the current title of this, I do it with my stories too, it's a bad nameing habbit I've developed!)
Project Luna is the re-grouping of Rocket survivors and the creation of an entirely new team, name pending. Please bear in mind that this would be developed in the mush over time so as to make it realist; big organisations don't just appear out of thin air, like Abra!
I have several ideas to make this team something awesome, and I also aim to make it so that it provides plenty of opportunity to role-play. Along with the role-play options, I would like to bring in a long-term research project that aims to create a new generation of morphs… this would require wizard approval however!
Why would I want a new generation of morphs? Well it would break up the free-birth thing a little, but there would be limits for a start. All Third/Newgen morphs would be in the new team automatically, and there would be a limit for their creation, be it a certain number or a darn good application only. However this is several years away (if ever), and so I'll return to more present ideas.
For the team's structure I have chosen a multi-leader, multi-branch system in order to give the most flexibility possible. Now let me explain in detail here… More than one leader means carefully thought out strategies, and if done right at least one team leader should be on at all hours. The classic branch and department system is just to make selecting your role easier; however it also helps to structure the organisation.
Ok, bullet point time!
• Leaders: I planned for about three or four who lead in a council style, they have the final say on who we kill, what we blow up, where funding goes, etc. They can call shots on their own, but generally it's been designed so that no one person gets too much power. (It also means that one person is pushing other mushers around)
• Operatives/Soldiers: These are the guys and girls that do most of the field work with the exception of the corporate and black market branch. These morphs are the ones that get all the fun though (and the toys!). Morphs assigned to this category get to blow stuff up, kill people, or otherwise cause trouble!
• Scientists: This is the branch responsible for R&D, they get to develop new toys that can't be got elsewhere/don't exist yet. Much of what they do is probably going to be out of sight and secret, though still quite important and RP-able! The only other thing to note here is that this will be the branch working on Project New- Morph if it gets the go ahead (though again, this will be years away!).
• Provisions: This is the branch that gets all the money and toys for the organisation, it includes smugglers and corporate workers, there's lots of potential here I think. Basically the organisation will need funding, and it will also need supplies, this is the branch that deals with these needs.
• Recruitment: This is the branch in charge of covertly recruiting morphs to their cause, as well as another function that will require wizard approval! The recruitment branch also employs morphs, and mon, of the psychic type. The psychic types are used to brainwash some of the more unwilling candidates in to service (there's already some interest in this). Now obviously that will need wizard approval, but I don't see much of a problem because of the player consent clause. It would be voluntary, nobody would be forced in to having their character brainwashed, and this is only intended to provide yet more fun RP options!
Organisation goals:
Short term Goals:
1. Regroup/round up free Rocket survivors and re-establish mainland connections.
2. Find a suitable location for the organisation's primary HQ.
3. Set up supply lines.
4. Free captured Rocket personnel.
5. Begin operations and recruitment.
Long Term Goals:
1. Enact revenge on the PIA.
2. Take control of the island using various means.
Choosing a name:
Now here's where you come in mushers!
The new organisation needs a name; I have a few in mind and would like help choosing:
• Crimson
• Galaxy
• Steam
• Magnum
• Midnight
• Microsoft
• Sabre
• Avalanche
If none of these take your fancy I urge you to leave a suggestion in the comments, also any input would be welcomed too, thank you!

Yush, I want to upgrade my graphics tablet: www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/wacom-c…
I know, it just looks so awesome, and I have expensive taste! lol
So how is everyone? I'm basicly computerless, and even if I could use my laptop at the moment, it doesen't like my bamboo for some reason. D:
Still, I'm pencil doodleing at the moment, I WILL return as soon as!
That's all for now, cyas!
~Peace! :3
