Twilight pretty much already fails completely, but stubble? How did no one catch that?

I figured it would be fair to draw an image of the character in the OTHER game I'm playing before I draw another of my Legends of the Five Rings character.

Sadly, if I draw EVERY character I have in the works, there will be 2 more pictures before I can draw my L5R PC again...

Harry Potter 6 was crappy.

I wish I had AJ's silver tongue when it comes to writing movie reviews, but I don't.

Imagine all the things a movie needs, like drama,  a climax, or giving a shit about the characters, now get rid of those, and add in a truly wretchedly written book. There you go.

Better than Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, but only by a HAIR. If I could have cut and hour from the plot, and changed a little dialogue, I would have LOVED T2: Rolling on the Floor, but no amount of cutting could have saved HP6: giving less than Half a shit about Snape.

REMEMBER HIM? SNAPE? Like, the main character in book 6? He gets maybe 5 minutes of airtime.


LAME.

 I'm outlining a new, much more interesting [to me] novel. One of the main reasons the first novel I began to write had such halting progress was both my lack of a good outline, and my lack of real interest in the characters. I've gone back to the first novel I imagined, and starting from scratch on that.

With that said, I've encountered a major thematic stumbling block: MALE HOMOSEXUAL ROMANCE. This is:
A-something I enjoy reading
B- something that doesn't show up very often in fantasy novels

The story really suggests that the main character and the guy he spends a lot of time with are more than friends. Do I let the romance happen between the lines? That might sell better, but be much less honest.  I really despised Rowling for not making an explicit stance on Dumbledore being a homosexual. It's relevant to the backstory! I don't want to be another one of those authors (JKR) who only say in interviews that a character is one way or the other. 

Can a fantasy novel have gay romance in it without being a Gay Romance? I want to say yes, but I have a feeling most people who read books would say no? I wouldn't want that to be why someone does, or doesn't read the book.

Ethically, do I have a responsibility to portray this romance? I'm not contriving to make these characters fall in love for some political statement, it's just the kind of romance I prefer.

No matter what, the love story will be there, the question is, is there a really compelling reason to hide it? More compelling than any ethical or narrative obligations?

I'm off to the frozen and desolate northlands. Once there, I shall valiantly eat BBQ, attempt to drink lightly, and endeavor to chit-chat with my relatives. GOD SPEED.

Billy Mays is dead! Who's next?

(this is a NSFW dub of a Kaboom commercial, fucking hilarious)

I'm back home in North Providence, and it's good to be back.

It was a long, arduous journey, but mostly free of drama. My only big annoyance was all the layover time I had, both in Japan and Chicago. I wanted to sleep, but I also didn't want to miss my flight.

I'm home now, and it's relax-o-clock. Of course, I woke up after only 5-6 hours of sleeping, but I'm going to fix that with a nice postprandial nap. delightful.

I look forward to seeing everyone local, asap.

My birthday is on Friday (the 26th) for those of you who care about stuff like that.
