funny weird fursona from ages past hours while i wanna take this opportunity to share my art, i kinda also wanna reach out to everybody who had cringy neon old fursonas and oc's that they're embarrassed of or feel like they need to shittalk every time they mention them bc "theyre totally better at making characters now i swear!" this is my fursona splash. i've changed sonas a few times, but none of them will be as important to me as her. she's not there yet, but next year in february, on my birthday, she will be 9 years old. i made her feb 22nd of 2015, my 9th birthday. i stopped using her eventually, because i thought i'd grown out of her. i used to show her to people and laugh about how stereotypical of a mary sue she was, how she had a demon AND angel form, how i'd ship her with characters from whatever media i was interested in at the time, how she had super secret sparkle powers that could do anything and how she's "not me anymore" then i remembered how crushed i felt when my friends at the time first started calling her one. i was knee deep at that point in thinking mary sues were dumb, and felt really bad about it when a friend said she was a huge mary sue and how i should probably change her. they even got mad when i said i didnt want to and told me i "couldn't take criticism". ive tried so hard over the years to distance myself from her while trying not to be too hard on her, to enjoy her in an "ironic, more experienced way" and regard her as what NOT to do.

this is the first ever drawing i did of her. another oc of mine turns 9 on my bday, and ill do art of her too, but this is where i made her. she was a drawing of firestar that i got bored drawing and decided to slap some neons on from the ms paint advanced preset colors. as you can see, she hasn't really changed much. her name used to be colordrop, because i had a stuffed bunny around that time with the same name. i think i renamed her to splash because i liked splashkittyartist. is the art good? no. did i really care? not really! i didnt even know it was bad at the time, because it honestly wasn't. i just wasn't as far in my art journey as i am now. im glad i never deleted my deviantart account, and i plan at some point to go through and save the images that are important to me on a google drive of some kind. aslong as im able to remember and keep her, she's an important part of myself. she's still me, just from a different time, and also so much more than that. im not sad about her, not in a nostalgic "i wish i could go back way". im happy, if anything, because i only recently realized we shared a birthday. isn't that cool? to not only have an oc that was made on your birthday, but reaches milestones with you? when she turns 18, i'll be 27. when she's 27, i'll be 36. i think that's pretty neat. i think it's important for every artist, if they struggle with this, to look for their old oc's and fursonas and whatnot from when they were kids and instead of looking at them through a lens of "im better now, do you see how bad i used to be at this whole character making thing though? its funny.", instead be kind to your old creations and go "wow, i had alot of fun with you. i wonder if i can have even more." if you're able to, start using them again. write with them again, even if its small and silly and more out of whimsy and joy than actual plot development. i implore you to be kinder to kid you. even if kid you wasn't very kind themselves. if you would look at another kids drawing and oc and go "wow thats amazing! you're so creative!", then you should regard what you made then with the same enthusiasm. put your own work on the fridge if nobody else did. anyways, ramble over. i'm very passionate about this subject because i lived it, and i deeply enjoy reclaiming what i was made to feel embarrassed of. so moon darkraven, demon wolf with an anime scythe and scene bangs and red eyes and neon colors that don't mix, i think you're doing great. i hope you're doing well, wherever you are now, and that so is the person who made you. happy early birthday to me and my special little gal

Hearthstone by far treats Worgen better than the actual retail World of Warcraft. Hearthstone Festival of Legends has given us some S Tier Worgen content. We even have the very first Worgen Demon Hunter Halveria Darkraven. 6 new worgen card arts the most we have gotten since the Witchwood Expansion.

this line is hilarious tho

[image: 2 comic panels from hawkman 2002 #12 showing rajak darkraven (currently fused to his bird, making him a giant man-sized bird creature) trying to beat up hawkman (carter hall) in front of a salt statue of helene astar (reincarnation of hath set). rajak says “helene never asked to be hath-set. she never had a choice in the matter. she only wished to be loved! loved by me! her soul is destined to kill you and hawkgirl again!” end image]

feel like this narrative could be more interestingly explored: first of all, rajak doesn’t have the whole story, he only has whatever helene/hath-set told him. and whatever hath-set told him obviously framed it in like a way where the source of the problems was hawkman and hawkgirl

i know from the original mod of this blog telling me about infinity inc that (according to memory) hath-set tries to retroactively justify themselves with the prophecy thing (I was killing chayara and khufu because their baby was going to be evil). I think there could be like some interesting tragedy explored not in a ‘oh so the person who decided to commit murder is the good guy actually #i am very smart) but in a character having been stuck making bad decisions for so long that they can’t even really remember wehat caused them to make those decisions in the first place and trying to re-create a narrative where all those bad decisions are secretly vindicated... kind of like stuck in a cycle of tragedy which may (?) have been what the authors of hawkman were going for before the writers changed. we’ll see
