Cute :3

Thank you. :)

First of all, there's a teenyweeny bunny in it. This is the beginning of the Invasion of the MicroHares and will signify the end of the world as we know it. Then there's the swing hanging from the scary monster Ent at the back, making him excited and happy to the big rabbit, particularly as the Ent was ordained into the priesthood recently and wants to see what it's like to get his end away. The sinister chain of sausages behind the swing was his original religious lure for wolves and other carnivores, but their mothers won't let them out to look at the aurorae until that sunspot explosion kills off the microhares. But yay for our saviour! The ginormous VoreBirdOfHades (Veep for short) who is just entering the frame stage right and will nom those tiny lapines up like my duck eats bluebottles. Oh yes.

I must go. My medication is getting cold.

I was amusingly with you all the way except for the sausages part. I put so much effort into making a decent challenge-bride, and now it's pulled into the realm of the ridiculous. :D

Don't let your duck have this medication, or you'd be a quack. Hah. Hah. Hah.

She's very pretty. I noticed that she's very pretty.

I guess I think so too, I've drawn her about a dozen times already. :D

I disagree with Metassus, the rabbit is hiding representing the shyness of the subject. The swing is actually an inverted reference to Nicolas Lancret's 'The Swing' it is in the same point of it's arch, but yet there is no-one moving it. The swing is suspended between worlds, not quite in the air but not on the ground, it has lost it's taste of eroticism (but still maintains it in a way with the connotation of the string of sausages behind it), it is now swinging in nothing. An excellent 'quote' Makes me feel as if the character is a little 'outside' her norm, shaken out of her state of complacency.
The two trees are dead but the fence is relatively clean. A haunting reminder of man's supposed 'power' over nature, like in Caspar David Friedrich's painting 'Abtei im Eichwald' where the air of decadence of the power of the church is clear, here it is only quoted, so the house still has a bit of dignity, but not as much.
The 01 band represents 'the first' quite important if you ask me, she might have just escaped from prison, and she's blue because she misses the guards that used to shoot the other inmates for sport, not that doesn't sound right, sorry!

All in all a jolly good use of artistic quotes, and all made to work very well without looking busy.
Huzzah!

Artistic interpertations are always going to remain absurd, aren't they?

Well, my artistic interpretations usually aren't,
but I don't think we're being serious here!

Well, I figured that. (Based on the sausages and the last section - it's actually not that easy to tell.) The idea is that she's actually looking for herself, with her tag being an archaic reference to the moon, though she has only her limited interpertations (fed to her by those that would dictate the senses) to go by. The swing's supposed to indicate recent use. Afterall, finding one's self should be a process of fun.

I was only a few mental miles off, being stuck in-between worlds may also mean looking for your own place in the planet in a way, thus finding yourself in the process!

That's an accurate leap I think. I actually indended to draw some planets hanging from the trees or structures, or something, but I thought it would be a case of trying too hard. I don't want to beat my ideas into people. :D

That would have been a tad much!
It's nice to be subtle

Oh and you drew your sausages the wrong colour, or are they some juicy bloodwursts?
Actually, I commented on this on a bad screen so I didn't notice, but your sausages do look a little woody.

Trust me, if I drew actual sausages it would be a terribly political picture devoid of anything fun. The meat industry to me is the prime symptom of just about everything that's wrong with our society.

Yes, meat (mass consumption of it especially) is the worst thing that hit the world, most of the rainforest problems could be solved by being a vegetarian.
Are you with me?

23 years and counting! :3

Well, I'm not anywhere close to even being 23 in my actual age!
I can't boast as much as you :(
Oh well, congratulations nonetheless!

Heh, that sounds as if you're very young. "You know, 10 is not even close close to being 23!"

I don't feel I need a ribbon for that.. it just makes me a little sad, but I should abstain from rambling about it I think. :D

Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little, I just turned 17 last month.

Well, you deserve something! So you've never eaten meat? That's pretty awesome (can't say the same on this side, I've eaten an animal when I was a wee child, a cannibal! Shame)
Ramble on good sir, I love to read!

Happy belated birthday!

I've eaten many forms of meat, but became a vegetarian at the age of four. Funny thing is that about every year I discover and learn another ten reasons to be so. It started out so simple. I don't like suffering, and I don't like being responsible for making others suffer. Also, I feel that the premise of non-human animals deserving life is stronger than such a statement concerning 'us'.

But then you grow up and discover that, yeah, world pollution? Meat industry. World hunger? Meat industry. Psychologically and historically it's also a deathtrap. There's nothing at all beneficial to it. It's only negatives. Frankly, I'm starting to believe that the essential quality of one's philosophy can't be that great when one justifies eating meat. It's too hard to ignore for me. At the end it's almost always a case of playing dumb 'cause someone likes it. Rape is natural, and sure, it has a victim, but the perpertrator thinks it's fun so it's quite all right! Bring in any kinds of pseudo-extracts of Darwin and Nietzche but remember that morality and reason are parts of evolution and life.

Murder isn't wrong because it's illegal, it's illegal because it's wrong.

Thanks! I think that at this point it would have been better to wait 11 months, but never-mind.

Four, that's pretty young, I ate it till I was 6 (my grandma made the best lasagnia in all of Italy! Bad excuse, but she as pretty old, and I couldn't say no, selfish me). I agree with you whole-heartedly on that last statement (of the second paragraph and practically everything afterwards).

Can't believe that now it's so sick, I mean, truthfully, I must say that back in the good days (during medieval, renaissance and some of the baroque eras) where for most people meat was a fairly rare thing to have, that's okay in my book, but afterwards everybody wanted to be like the kings and nobles, who ate meat daily (and suffered the terrible consequences), just BLEH!
Interesting insight on rape... I'll let it pass (it gave me quite the mental laugh though!)
Well, I believe that after a certain amount of time spent thinking, we all become benevolent. Thus violence is merely stupidity.

There's a ring of truth in what you say. Collect enough wisdom and the chances of being intent on causing grief decrease.

The rape thing is just an extreme of the vast array of fuzzy-logics and vague arguments people use. Under the banner of what is 'natural' and whatnot. Ridiculous notions that I can disprove and counter in a dozen ways. I've never heard a sensible argument outside of selfish necessity.

I hope it's not the same ring you can put on someone that makes them become your spouse.

I wouldn't really count it as logic, are there any sensible arguments against vegetarianism, I'd think not. I'm totally alright with a friend of mine that eats meat at dinner on Sunday, but really that's the only quantity I see as acceptable. Meh, proving these silly claims wrong is easy, simply sickening to hear what some people base their whole value systems on!

I agree with that intellectually, but my stomach disagrees slightly. There's something extremely unappetising (disgusting) about watching/hearing/smelling someone consume someone. But somehow I manage this quite well, and I don't demand people to be empathic on these matters.

Quite, but hey, can't force people to do things, I really don't mind (neither does my stomach for some reason, anyway, it's probably because I box), at least moderation's always good!

It would be great if you could punch people in the face to make them understand things, but the philosophical consequences of such a matter would be far too great to burden reality with. And so, we're left with keeping to ourselves and waiting for people to catch on.

The sweetest are the violent.
The cruelest are the kind.
No just kidding, yeah, that's just how it is, I only hope (I hate using that word, hope, now) that something will happen that will let people realize things slightly faster!

It looks cold. Like november.

It's a slow spring, but it's getting there!

Here too. There was snow on the ground this morning. -.-

It looks cold. Like november.
