Somebody shoot me. I've got other people's fancharas hijacking my brain.

heslestor's questionable Autobot, Hotzone. A Toxicologist and Pathologist whose ethics don't quite match up to the Autobot ideal, and if you kill him it's very likely that all the chemicals he's carrying around would make the surrounding area for miles a dead zone. Recent conversation had him cooing over a parasite of his own creation, and this image promptly burned itself into my brain along with the name Talin for the parasite. Which, like other made up words that hit me, turned out to be not-so-made-up. In this case, there's two. *exasperated*

Before, I'd offered to draw Hotzone because I like him so much and actually had a different one in progress. But nooooo, the pathologist wanted his parasite-in-a-vial. *sulk* It's really not fair when I'm struggling to get my own characters down and visualized. But hey, I'm glad it's one I could finish, there's not been many of those lately. And I hope you like this Heslestor, he was fun to design.

And if anyone knows where I can find some good tips on doing metal that's colored, I'd be very grateful.

*flails with happy* You made it an icon! (>_> It took a stupidly long moment for me to notice that though.)

Is it because he doesn't realize it's a topic most aren't comfortable with, or is it that he just doesn't care? It's one thing that bothers me about the humans in Transformers. The Autobots have some of the best masters of science or medicine and no one seems to take advantage of the opportunity of them being there to learn more. ~~And while the Decepticons do too, it's more hazardous to a humans' continued health.~~

Sweet. Is it a Haunted House or is it a house that is haunted? Either way, it sounds like fun. As for proper housing, even a house on stilts like some tropic peoples have would work. But a floating house sounds like a great place to live too.

Oh god, the TVTropes site, I just started drowning myself there again.

*relearns yahoo as well*

Just found the art program GIMP, and have been making icons like a fiend. Even if I still don't know what the pit it is I'm doing.

It's a little of both really. But mostly, he's like anyone whose job is something they passionately love to do and will go on at length about it to whoever has the misfortune to ask what they're doing. The humans in Transformers bother me to a great degree, I want to watch Armada and the other TF shows, but I couldn't even make it through the first episode because of the humans. Then there's one of the continuities, where there's actually a Cybertronian law that states they can't share their technology with other species.

The kind where you dress up, get free pizza and energy drinks all month and get paid to scare the ever living slag out of people. Glorious, I say.

TVTropes and all the very many different wikis out there, just discovered the quote wiki and lost about 2 hours just reading M*A*S*H quotes.

How's the program handle? I've only recently heard of it and haven't tried it out yet.

Psh...misfortune, not here. *wishes there were easier-to-find impassioned masters who'd share their knowledge* And it's their loss for thinking that way.

I got through the first episode of Armada solely though the awesomeness that is the pause button. It must've taken me three hours to get the thing over and done, with only watching five minutes or so at a time. Face-palming is also a must to keep your brains in your skull.

That IS a glorious job. *jealous*

Well, I like it so far though I'm not the best to ask since I don't have a lot of experience with different art programs. There's also a patch that is suppose to make near identical to Photoshop, but since I've never used PS before I don't really know. *is also very slow at learning such things since I'm one of those types that just randomly tires things without reading the manual*

The first time I saw Armada was one of the later episodes, and only a few minutes. The reason I remember it so well is that Red Alert, who is turning out to be a favorite of mine, abandoned the one human who was riding with him in the middle of a canyon while searching for one of the mini-cons. I may not be the greatest human sympathizer out there, but you know it's bad when I'm all but praying for one of the Decepticons, or even an Autobot, to just squish all the humans and get it over with already.
And here I thought some of the G1 episodes were bad, at least the humans weren't as annoying as the ones in Armada.

It is a great job, especially since you meet a lot of like minded people at a place like that. One of the things that amused me the most, was the fact that some people got so scared from me popping out at them, that they would actually admit that they peed a little.

*never bothers to read the manual as they always turn out to be incomprehensible* That and art classes tend to do the same. So while I have years of art under my belt, it's virtually all self-taught at a slow pace. I'll have to try the program now.

It probably makes me a bad person if I'm all determined to try to watch the series again just to see that part.

*is more jealous* *art!bunnymuse gnaws on skull*

The episode was one where the humans had those specialized suits. The process of putting them on made me headdesk so hard I nearly gave myself a concussion. It was great though, since not only Red Alert ignored that particular human, Carlos I think his name was, but so did every other Autobot as well.

Just wish I had a picture of my costume to show you. I was one of the white tiger twins, the back story to which we were escaped Russian biological experiments. Had those really long, 'bout four inches, elf ears that I put a bunch of silver hoop earrings of varying sizes in, really well done makeup with airbrushes, black trench coat (which quickly got covered in mud), one of those really nice leather dog collars with very sharp spikes on it, heavy duty chains draped all over me, fake blood all around the mouth like I had just eaten someone *there's a surprising amount of people out there who will let strangers bite them if you just ask* and a custom made set of six fangs. The only thing I didn't own was the white dress shirt, everything else was mine.
No one could tell my gender either, which made some of their comments even more amusing.

And I hadn't realized anyone made videos of the haunted house. The Field Where Robert Moss Played (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=16858903), featuring the Ringleader and Grub the Clown.
