A copy of Tevruden's blog because I don't Trust Like that anymore.
Tev was a very hyperactive child, pretty much bouncing off the walls from when he learned to walk until about age ten or so. He was also a little shit, it didn’t really help that he was also his parent’s oldest kid, which meant that he got away with almost everything.
He was kinda cute tho:

Oh dude welcome back! How’d the date go? You get her furaffinity?
MS5 and CSP (the digital download version) are on sale again for $20!
This is the main program I use, and I can’t recommend it enough (for both beginners and advanced artists). It’s as amazing and customizable as photoshop, and has brush stabilizers and excellent blenders and paint brushes right out the box like Sai. I highly recommend snagging it, even if you just use it for line art (that’s what I originally did!)
♥ Click HERE to buy! ♥
So this is actually really good, because Im probably gonna buy it. But I need to get a new tablet, any suggestions? Preferably in the $50 – $100 range.
There are a ton of amazing tablets out there within that price range!
I recommend Wacom tablets because their customer service and driver support have always been on point for me. A good starter is the ~ Intuos Draw ~ (formerly known as the Wacom Bamboo). You can purchase just the tablet and pen set for $69 and it works just as well as my Intuos Pro. I had my old bamboo tablet in working order for damn near 5 years.
If you decide to go with another brand don’t forget to do research on the tablets! Always check compatibility with your program (some tablets don’t play nice with Sai, or some free programs), availability of drivers and support (some companies stop supporting tablets after 2 years, or don’t update drivers when new tablets are released), and check what general maintenance is like (IE: How much are pen nibs and how often do you need to change them. Do the pens or cords break or fray easily. etc).
Hope that helps!

Okay, I’m re-posting this because it’s going to get buried in the actual massive thread of reblogs, which is up to 70k.
Here’s what happened. I mentioned that while I was in line to get tickets and popcorn at my local teeny town theater, the guy next to me started explaining who Deadpool was, because he just assumed I wouldn’t know.
I thought it was kind of funny, I didn’t think it was ‘mansplaining’ or the patriarchy or any of that stuff, it was a guy excited to see his favorite hero in a movie and he had no idea that I had written the character and actually have an on-camera shout-out.
I tweeted it because I thought it was kind of cute, I never thought the guy was an ass or a jerk or that he was being a douche, he was just excited. At the very WORST, he just made an assumption. I posted many times that I didn’t think it was sexist, and I didn’t think it was even REMOTELY a big deal, AND I posted a story where I had made a very similar mistake myself with an artist I really respected.
This was NOT a big deal. I thought it was cute and if I’d had some Deadpool comics with me, I would have happily given them to the dude.
Anyway, now it’s up here with this huge thread of tens of thousands of reblogs under a headline about sexism, and I have to say, I just never had that feeling for a moment, nor did this seem even remotely like a serious issue.
Here’s what I wrote on the thread.
“I just want to say, I think people are making a bigger deal of this than they should, to be honest.It’s not that he didn’t recognize me (why would he?) and it’s not that I thought he was ‘sexist.’ It was just a guy excited about Deadpool and he started telling the closest person in line.
I said a bunch of times after posting this tweet that I didn’t think he was being sexist, it just seemed kind of funny. I live in a tiny small town, there’s no reason for him to think someone who wrote Deadpool was in line with him. AND the few times I’ve told a guy who talked about the movie that I used to write the character, they were universally very positive and excited about it. Not one bad experience.
So, while it would be nice if people didn’t just ASSUME that a woman wouldn’t know who Deadpool was, I didn’t ever think it was this big deal, I just thought it was kind of funny that the ONE person he chose to explain Deadpool that day is actually given a shout-out in the movie. That struck me as kind of amusing.
He wasn’t being a dick, he just was excited about Deadpool, and assumed I wouldn’t know who Wade Wilson was. Not a big deal at all. “
Anyway, this was so inoffensive, I actually forgot it happened until something jogged my memory and I thought people might find it amusing. It was such an incredible non-issue! Deadpool fans have ALWAYS been incredibly nice to me, regardless of gender, I have always felt they were some of the kindest and most generous readers out there.
Also, dude, if you’re out there, I promise, I was NOT OFFENDED and I thought it was kind of adorable to see your excitement at your favorite hero getting a movie. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
