My Account Got Deleted??

A few days ago, I made a Listography account. Some Twitter friends had one, and I was really interested in it. I figured this is perfect, I had plenty of lists on my old Zetaboards forum, that I could transfer over. Since Zetaboards closed down, and turned into Tapatalk. (Which deletes inactive sites after 30-90 days).

On Listography, I added a profile bio, an avatar (A drawing of mine.) I made one list of all my accounts on other sites, such as Deviantart, Twitter.. etc..
I had to go to bed for work the next morning, although I wanted to continue, I had to stop.

So fast forward a few days later, today. I was like, oh man, let me go look at my Listography, and add more to it! When I read "User not found". I was like huh? How can that be? There must be an error! I look around, maybe I'm on the wrong profile, I check my emails to see if there was something about account deletion. I find nothing.
I snoop around, and I find the Listography main page.

"Our spam detector automatically deletes suspicious accounts. To avoid deletion: MAKE introductory lists, DO NOT link to shady websites, DO NOT create multiple accounts, DO NOT create an account that is AD-like. Suspected spam accounts are deleted within one week and not retrievable."

I was like, are you kidding me?? I had a real bio, and all the sites I linked to, were Twitter, Deviantart, etc.. and not shady sites.. but somehow, their program must have picked it up, and deleted me! (There goes an hour of logging into my accounts, down the drain!)
At first I thought I'd make another one, but I thought, it could happen again, so I'd rather not. It's a shame, I really liked the way Listopgraphy had everything, but I'm not risking wasting my time for something that might get deleted again. This is just bad consumerism, if I'm using that in the right context.

Picture by me.

My advice for Listography, and any site that uses an automatic bot deletion program.

•  Hire volunteers to check out profiles, there are people who will do it for free. (Since it's made by people who made the site for fun, and not a company.)
Back in the old days of the early 2000's, there were plenty of people who volunteered their free time to help run websites,  I don't see why people wouldn't do that now. (Especially good for people wanting to get a marketing/social media job in the future, it could even count as job experience.)
If the bot detection program (BDP), spots a suspicious profile, a volunteer could check the profile out to see if it is a bot, or just a little innocent ol' me, just starting a new account. This gives real new users a chance to actually save their account, and redeem themselves.

The third twitter I ever made, is named Esmeralda'sdildo, which is based off a character I made. It was banned for two years, because  I was lazy and didn't do anything to save it. I sent them an email saying I was just a person using the account for a character, and they lifted the ban. The account got banned through their bot detection system, but at least it wasn't deleted!

• Get a bot verification program. You know when you log in/sign up for a site, and it asks if you're a bot, and makes you type in words/letters from a picture? "3d5h8s"

• Email accounts that get deleted. It should be easy enough to set a program up, that will at least email the user, saying their account was deleted. This way they aren't in the dark, like me.

Hopefully, there's another site that's similar, that doesn't have a program that just wipes things out. If not, I'll just continue to make lists on blogger, like I was doing in the first place!

Most of my Formspring friends were jerks?

From 2010-2013, I frequented a website called Formspring. Formspring.me (Later known as Spring.me, which sounds like a porn name), was an ask and answer site. People would make profiles, and users could ask other people questions. Users could also ask questions anonymously, I don't remember if non-users could do that as well, or if it was strictly people who had accounts. Formspring later died in 2014/2015, and joined up with a dating site called "Twoo", which my spam program always tells me is a harmful site. Ironically enough, Formsprings competitor, Ask.fm (Which I didn't really like, or use), is still around.
I had found out about Formspring, from Yahoo Answers. I found someone interesting on there, and saw they had a Formspring. We ended up becoming friends, and I was introduced to a few of his friends as well!
Unfortunately, my friend, Jye, vanished off the Formspring. I never found out if he just moved on, or if something bad had happened to him.
I met many interesting people on there, however, many of them turned out to be jerks. I stopped talking to most of them. What's upsetting is, I was rather close to a few of them.

It's  silly to talk about stuff like this, but I think it's the experience, and the story time, that can be entertaining, quite possibly.

1. Teri Pterodactyl - One of my mutuals with Jye, Teri, was always so rude. I ended up cutting ties with her. Since she thought an image I posted was unacceptable, even if I was gay. Like what.. it's an innocent picture of two girls with a birthday cake, maybe it's YOU whos mind is in the gutter? Post

2. Mystique - I think my friend, Mystique, was the hardest one. We were really good friends, and I always got so excited talking to her. But she started getting rude, and homophobic. See the Mystique Series.
Two years ago, she messaged me on Tumblr to see how I was doing. I responded, but she hasn't gotten back, I don't think she uses Tumblr often. lol I wouldn't mind if she tried being friends again, that was already years ago, many things have changed.

3. Tish? - I don't remember her name, but it was something like Tish. I thought she was cool, but she wasn't very responsive. I'd ask her questions, and like her posts, but she wouldn't do the same. I even made a comment about how she doesn't seem to be my friend, and she liked it, but said nothing, so I just didn't bother anymore.. no need to be friends with someone who doesn't care.

4. Outer Spacer - Spacer had deleted his account, but I found an old post by him that I hadn't seen before. He told me he thought I was annoying, somehow I missed this response when his account was active. I was surprised! I wouldn't have talked to him at all if he thought I was annoying, I would have said bye bitch! Shame he deleted his account before I saw it, I would have slapped a ho! He was rather bitchy in general, I could have said that to him!

5. Ronan - We were really good friends, we talked about everything, and he was really funny too. But once Formspring was over, we didn't really talk much anymore. But I felt a distance between us on facebook. He eventually unfriended me, which I thought was rude since we were so close at one point! In this case, it's not rude, it's just upsetting that someone you were close to, just kind of vanishes.

6. Danger Noodle - Was a seemingly cool dude on formspring, but he was actually a slab of homophobic garbage on Facebook. He thought being gay was a choice, when I explained to him, that it wasn't, he continued to tell me it was. Then posted a link to a Christian website, that literally came up with opinions as to why being gay wasn't genetic. It was not research, just opinions. So I blocked him faster than a prostitute comes on a Saturday night. Blog post
I saved what he wrote, maybe I'll make that a blog post!

7. We'll call her H - I thought I got along well with H. I did notice that she'd unfriend people on Facebook, that were from Formspring. I was glad that I hadn't gotten deleted! That was, until much later. H didn't like that I didn't really like the word "Gay", I prefer to use other words (I have since grown out of that, and don't have a problem with the word gay anymore.). She also made a comment asking if I had a problem with the term partner, to refer to a gay couple. I said I don't like it, I find the term partner, to be demeaning. Like gay people aren't good enough to straight people, (Like straight couples are boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife, but gay people are "partners". It feels weird, like lgbt aren't good anough, and I don't like it.) . She'd get mad at me if I was hating on straight people, but she also thinks it's okay for black people to be racist towards white people... (Oh, the irony!) [Also, hate cannot be fought with more hate!]
One day I just noticed she unfriended me, but hadn't unfriended my other account on facebook, so I did the favor for her! I'm rather glad I'm not friends with her, I don't want to be friends with a hypocrite.

8. Next up is Double Danger - DD and I didn't always see eye to eye, but he was still pretty chill. (I'm pretty sure he was a very slight homophobe)
For the most part he was fine, until a few months ago. I posted a seemingly innocent post on Facebook, about the goddess herself, Daisy, from the Super Mario franchise. I said she should have a game of her own! A few of my friends liked my posts, and commented. However this one... was acting like I killed his family, and burnt down his village. He gave an angry react, and then proceeded to be hella rude about Daisy, and talking about how she's a terrible character. I don't care if you don't like a character, but like don't crap on other people's likes.. I'm also an intellectual, if you don't like something I love, like lets have an intelligent discussion as to why you don't like something.
Which he didn't, he just said how much he hates her, and even when I said "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it", he pretty much just said he can do what he wants. Which is super rude, so I deleted all of the pictures he tagged me in, from 2012 (There were a lot of anime pics he put me in..) Then I unfriended him. Like he honestly acted like I just blew up the world, just because I liked a character, and he didn't. It was weird, and immature.

9. Danger Damon - was always cool, he's also good friends with D. After Formspring was gone, and we were on Facebook,everything was fine. But the last few years, he'd only post on political posts I made. Which is fine, it was always an opposing viewpoint, and I welcome other sides of the story... but what I found weird, was as follows.

• He lives in Europe, and he's talking about America? I just find that strange.
• He would only comment on my political posts, to the point where it was getting annoying..

Like why be my friend if you're just going to comment on the one political thing I post on Facebook a a year?
I unfriended Danger Damon and Double Danger at the same time, they're weird, rude, and annoying.

(For the record, I have plenty of friends on Facebook, that don't share my political views)

So that's how most/ half of my formspring friendships ended. I still have a few on Facebook, and the rest are cool.

Funny enough, I became close friends with someone named Van on Formspring, when it was dying. Now we're really close, and he's one of my online besties now.  I was telling him recently, that's he's one of the few good people from Formspring. lol

Toxic Communities: Let Them Go

The internet is a great place where people can talk to others, learn about new things, see pictures of the world, talk about Marcy and her questionable fashion choices.... The list goes on!

However, the internet is not all sunshine & rainbows. Plenty of sites on the internet can be a toxic place to go to, and these places are filled with nasty comments, trolls, and that moldy three month old bagel you left in the refrigerator!

One particular site, I will not name, is a popular meme sharing site. Unfortunately, the kinds of people that flood the comments are absolutely vile. The comments on the site are littered with sexism, racism, homophobia, and anything else you could think of.

You could make a very harmless comment about the sun shining on your shoulders, and you bet your bottom dollar that someone will respond with a nasty comment.

It's almost like these people get off on being rude to one another 

I noticed one person responding to one of these negative comments, this is what I said to them.

"Hey there! I've seen a couple of your comments! I 100% agree with what you're saying, but I think it's best to not bother with these idiots, "Site name" is filled with vicious people who are disgustingly racist, sexist, homophobic and other things. I used to get mad at these people too, so much so that I quit the site for a year. The negativity bothered me so much that I left! My friend said that I should come back because it still has funny stuff. I decided not to worry about the haters, the nasty people, etc.. They'll never amount to anything! So I don't bother with the comments because it would wear me down, I usually take a peak, but don't really comment because that's when the hurdles of D-BAGS come in. What I'm trying to say is not to let them get to you, and just pay no mind to them, that's what I did, and it's better to enjoy yourself without these losers being negative. I'm sure there are better, more friendly communities out there."

What I've learned from the negativity from people on the internet is, that there's really nothing you can do about it. Trying to change their mind will most likely not work. You have to do what's best for you and just move on, find people that are on the same wavelength as you. Enjoy the things you like to do, and pay no mind to the haters.

As I said these people are just losers, and they won't amount to anything. They're probably unemployed, eat junk food all day, have no friends and live in their moms basement anyway...

The best thing you can do with a toxic community is, either leave, or do not bother with the comments. Sites like that, where they offer something, is easy to ignore comments all together. A site where the only function is to talk to other people, such as a forum. Is best to leave if they're a toxic community.

Sometimes you have to let it go, and move on, you're better than that! Unless you're like really vengeful, and want to find their home address and just shock them with a cattle prod... But the best thing to do is move on, find more interesting people to talk to on the internet!

How To Not Get Angry Over The Net

Saint October Wiki

In my last Wiki post, I mentioned two wiki's that I am active and an admin on. The Suikoden and the Kya Dark Lineage

After I made my post about characters named Esmeralda, I was curious and I was searching up Esmeralda from the anime Saint October, and when I saw that someone created a wiki for the show,  I decided to step in and start editing it! I made graphics for the front page, and I gave the whole website a new theme! (Once I asked Wikia staff to allow me to become an admin to fix the place up!). I think it's coming along rather nicely!

Check the Saint October Wiki out! Click here. I think fixing up the Wiki would actually allow for more people to find out about the show and gain more interest!

I love Bing! But no one else does...

I am one of those rare people who uses Bing as their search engine! Yes, I used to use Google, a loooooong time ago! But then I found out about Bing and I just thought it was so cool, and much better than Google. For starters, Google would post my old Kya Dark Lineage forum on the 3rd or 4th page when typing in Kya Dark Lineage, but Bing, would actually have it on the first page! That excited me, since it's not only one of my favorite games, but also a website/forum that I made myself that I wanted to get it out there. That was my initial reason for liking Bing, I was like hey, that's cool!
What I also liked about Bing, was it not only has an interactive front page with a changing image for each day, but it also tells you about certain things that are depicted in the image of the day.
I started to use Bing more, because Google just has this boring white background and a logo that doesn't really change that often (Except when there is a holiday, etc.). While Bing has an inventive image of the day, I started to like it more. I'm an artist, I love colors and interesting things, Google may have a colorful logo, but it's just so plain and boring. I like variety, I like vibrant and colorful things, and Bing leans more to it. This is what sold me to use Bing instead of Google.

Picture by me.
This is the kind of pictures you could see on Bing.

As I started to use Bing, I also noticed some cool things that Google does not have! Or at-least did not have when I used to use it!

 For starters, when you're looking up for a definition of a word, it will actually pop up on the search engine, as somewhat of a tip so you don't even have to go onto a website to find out what the word means. It even has someone saying the word, so if you don't know how to pronounce it, you'll find out how to. I just checked Google and it has the same thing, except it doesn't have the voice over.
The interesting thing is Google has a chart about what time period the word is used and Bing has other words that go with it, so they both uniquely have a different twist on it.

Bing and Google have the same type of translator, where you just put in the term and it automatically translates! I just learned how to say, "I speak no Spanish, suck on a turkey!". (Hablo no espanol chupar un pavo!)

But enough about that, eventually I moved to Bing, and I just find it to be a more attractive and physically beautiful search engine, while Google is just very plain and boring.

But what I dislike, is that there are so many Bing haters out there! I like Bing, other people don't, but I don't go around saying Google is stupid, or anything like that. But meanwhile, anytime someone mentions Bing online, it's to make fun of Bing. It's super rude!  Like why do people waste their time complaining about something they don't use? No one likes haters, and you’ll never be invited to any fun parties anymore! I just dislike all the hate it gets, and I actually get defensive with my friends when I say I like Bing, because I’m so used to people being assholes about it.
If someone doesn't like something, they should move on, and not be rude about it.

PS. Any Bing hate will be deleted. However, if you have a normal comment on why you use Google, that is fine.

EDIT (Dec 2017): I will be posting Bing hate below! Some people were like, I've never seen anyone hate on Bing... Well, there it is!

Twitter Post

Why I'm not a fan of strict policies..

I'm sure many people on the Internet are loosey goosies (Yes, I'm pretty sure "Goosies" is not a word. Actually, that kind of works with this topic...). But there are definitely plenty of stubborn strict people on the Internet, who just need to lighten up!

Let me tell you, when I was 16, I frequented Wikipedia and half of the stuff I edited either got fixed or deleted. Now, I'll understand for a good portion that I was an idiot who didn't know how to spell, use proper grammar and punctuation, (In fact, I still don't always do proper punctuation, but I try!). But there were so many things that I put in, that were useful facts, and info that were just deleted! For the most part, I am talking about the page for the game, Kya Dark Lineage. The Wikipedia page that I started! As you can see Here.
Wikipedia goes by a very strict set of rules, and I'll understand to a degree that a clean up must be done. But I feel like some people are just sticklers, and they want the least amount of info for a Wikipedia page possible. It has to be so by the book, that in the end, lot's of useful information is deleted at the drop of a hat This will actually discourage people to not even bother with it, such as myself, who doesn't bother with editing on Wikipedia anymore.
I had recently edited the Kya page back in 2012, and I found out that my edit was removed completely a few years later! If you ask me, finding out that the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender, were going to name the female lead "Kya", but chose not to due to a video game character with the same name. I'd say that's a very interesting bit of info! A hidden gem of a game that no one knows about, actually influenced a character's name from a popular show! That's just great! Yet, it was removed a while back.
As I look back to the Wikipedia page for Kya, I noticed in the history, that lot's of information was deleted and then someone goes around and puts a tag saying it needs to be re-written! Well yeah, if someone else didn't delete everything!
It's just very aggravating in my opinion, that's why I don't even bother anymore, because anything I put down gets deleted in the long run. Meanwhile, I'm like the only person that cares enough to write about Kya in the first place!

This is also why I enjoy Wiki's better, because they tend to be less strict and more free. However, sticklers can still abound and it really depends on who the administrators of the wiki are.
Wiki's, like the Kya Dark Lineage wiki, which I created. I'm very carefree and I'll allow many things, and since I'm the admin, I can do whatever I want (As long as it doesn't go against Wikia's rules, of course.). I've even added a few non Kya related articles in there, but usually pertaining to a few similar games. This is to create more activity, and views, and interest in similar things.
I also edit on the Suikoden Wiki, which also has breezy admins and it's fun to be on (I've also been made an admin on there as well).

Picture by me

I was disappointed to find out that my edit on the Tales of Legendia wiki was deleted, as there is a character named Norma, who is very similar to the Norma in Suikoden. Apparently, It's not good enough because the characters aren't made by the same company. which in my opinion is silly, but I find these character similarities interesting, and someone else was the one that pointed it out to me!

Another instance as to strict policies, are particular people at my job. There are certain higher ups who will get you in trouble just because you took two extra minutes on your break, or because you talked to someone for two minutes. Yes because if I talk to my friend for 2 minutes, the world will explode, all is lost, and no work will ever be able to get done! Because that two minutes, out of the 8 hours I am there was the most time consuming, and wasteful two minutes of the entire existence of the planet! Not to mention, if I don't talk to anyone interesting and I have to deal with one more douche bag customer, I'll punch them (Customer) in the face and walk out! Talking to friends allows me not to cut a bitch! It would also put me in a better mood!

(Please realize, I am exaggerating with the violence though...)

The irony, is this manager had to talk to my friend for 5-10 minutes about how you shouldn't be talking to people at work and how you should be working...... what.... (Oh, the irony!)

In 2018, I worked for a company that would have your head if you were a minute late coming in, or even if you were on break. One minute is not going to ruin the business, I promise. Which is funny because, the manual even said you were allowed a 4 minute grace period. Which they didn't care about their own rules.
I told my friend Stephanie about this, she said they needed to calm their tits, it's only a minute! I said, that's something  I would say! She said "See, this is why we're friends!". lol

What I'm trying to say is, I dislike strict policies and sometimes everyone should take things less seriously and take them in between silly and serious. Some rules are good and some are good to be mended. You can't take things too seriously, or you'll have a dull life.

Wiki's!

Wiki's are encyclopedia's about a certain item, game, show, book or other. The most you can ever find out about something is through a wiki! As long as it has a dedicated person making edits of course!

I've been working on two wiki's recently, the Suikoden Wiki a wiki about the Video Game Series Suikoden! As well as the wiki I made, for the game Kya Dark Lineage. The Kya Dark Lineage Wiki!

I also helped out the Saint October wiki, and the Goulart Knights wiki as well!

How to win an argument on the internet

I'm here to tell you how to win an argument on the Internet, even if you don't actually win.

First off, check out the prequel to this post here.

Recently, I caused World War 5 on social media between a few people that I know. I was neutral on the subject, but my friends were not! A war broke out between them! It was 2 against 1.
I didn't side with anyone, as I was not getting involved what so ever! So, I gathered information and found out what had happened and I kept my opinions to myself because I didn't want to start another war! Plus, I just wanted to know what happened between my friends on the site.
Regardless who I thought was right or wrong, there was one key factor! There was one thing that all three people did wrong, and I'll tell you what it was. They all flamed each other; they used nasty, derogatory insults to each other. Now, what I was thinking is this, if they had used intellect, wits and logic, they most likely wouldn't have had a fight in the first place.

Tip

• A common mistake about Internet arguments, is to get heated! Never get heated; use your logic and strong powerful words of knowledge and wisdom to win the fight appropriately.

What NOT to do

• Flame the other person and or use nasty insults.

What to do

• Use good words, be respectful and use facts and even links to good sources to back your claims.
• Agree to disagree, be polite and courteous to someone you disagree with.

Example

Now, here are my non existent, lovely assistants here, to point to you, the examples on how to win and not to win an argument over the Internet.

What not to do

Post 

I think the abandoned ghost tower should be safe and supervised so no one gets hurt! Tourists and villagers alike want to explore it without worrying about injuries.

It's a good tourist attraction with lot's of interesting history behind it.

You iz stupid, if idiots want to get hurt by bein' stupid fo' going somewhere dangerous, then get hurt! 

 I can feel my head!

Who invited this freak?! Get a life ya ugly looser! Ya'll are stupid, you iz gunna die if you go to dangerous spots! 

How to argument correctly

I think guns should be legal, we just have to have stricter gun laws, preventing guns getting in the wrong hands.

Although I don't agree with guns being legal, I see your points in your argument.
We may never come to an agreement, but I understand your opinions and I hope you understand mine.

Although I disagree with your stance, I understand where you are coming from. We disagree with each other, but I think we both have valid points on our argument and I respect your opinion as you do mine.

I want a pet lobster!






See, what I'm trying to get across is this... instead of going psycho on someone because you don't agree with another person.... use proper wording, intellect and sense in the argument you're trying to get across; the most important thing is to respect the other person! No flaming and no rude words!
Even if the other person is nasty the whole time; if you're respectful and nice, it'll show others that you're the bigger and better person!

Someone at work called me ugly!

But you are ugly!

You're not ugly! You're beautiful just the way you are! Besides, it's what's inside that counts! Obviously, they are ugly on the inside!

U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi, you ugly, yeah yeah, you ugly!

Don't listen to them haters, it says more about them than it does you.

Thanks guys! I won't take others harsh words to heart, I know that just by being a better person, that I am better than them.

I like tomatoes!



By using your smarts, being respectful and courteous you'll win the argument; even if you're wrong. The best thing we can do when we are wrong, is to understand that you were wrong in the first place and understanding is the most important thing. We have to be open minded enough to also understand when we aren't correct, and then changing our thoughts in the process to know what is right and what is incorrect.

Tomatoes are Vegetables!

Actually, Tomatoes are a fruit.

Oh, ok. Tomatoes are a fruit!

BITCH! You are a fruit! A fruit-loop!

Make sure to always back up your facts! Links  and scientific studies can always be helpful.

Here's my research on why a Tomato is a fruit.

Here's what I found on why you're a looser!

Last, but not least, don't be a, lame llama! This may or may not be related to the topic at hand, I just really wanted to say that.... #don'tjudgemeho

Suikoden Characters: Rita

As of late I've been replaying Suikoden  IV, and I would like to post the advantages of having the character Rita in your party!

Rita is a spunky young girl, who appears in Suikoden IV, and Suikoden Tactics. She's a side character that you can recruit early on in both games. She'll join the party if you play, and beat her in one of her games. Suikoden IV involves the player playing against her in "Rita-Pon", a game like Mahjong, except with characters from the game as symbols. In Tactics, you have to get your characters element over more spaces than her, in a splatoon like fashion. Since Suikoden Tactics came out in 2005, Rita thought of Splatoon first ya'll!

In the series, she takes place of the Trickster category. Tricksters are normally young, energetic girls, who use hammers, or long range weapons (Knives and crossbows). Usually, they have a knack for engineering/building things. Rita isn't necessarily a builder type, but her creativity when it comes to making new games, can be similar to "creating".  Her outfit is very reminiscent to the other trickster characters as well. Other tricksters have striped clothing themes, and a focal point item, for Rita, it's the orbs on her outfit. (Earlier, and Later installments have Bells, and Buttons. Unironically, another trickster's name is Belle, and she has bells.)

 Rita is an early character, who has great magic stats, and a powerful weapon for a magician type of character.

Rita is actually a mix between a mage character, and a fighter character, but she's not strong enough to be a Jack of all trades type that has an equal amount of stats all around. Basically, she is weaker than the hero character when it comes to HP, and Strength, but she has better magic power than him, and she's stronger physically than other characters who are complete mage characters. Which makes her a bit of the best of both worlds. Since she's one of the first recruit-able characters in both games, it's good to have her in the party with her high magic stats. She'll gain magic faster than the other early characters, although eventually she does slow down around level 40 and everyone else catches up with her.

The really interesting thing about Rita is, although she is more of a mage character, her weapon is actually much stronger than other mage type characters, and can deal much more damage than most mage types.

Basically, Rita has good magic power, and her weapon is strong, but her "physical" strength and hp are not as good. She's basically an equal opportunity character, but just a little bit under the line of jack of all trades type.

Rita, on the Suikoden wiki

When Rita appears in Suikoden Tactics, they change her into a "Fighter" type character, which means she cannot use regular magic (Due to it being a tactics game, the mechanics are a bit different than a normal Suikoden games). This also happens to the character Wendel, which is very bizarre considering Rita and Wendel are great magic users in Suikoden IV. They literally have better magic stats in Tactics, than the rest of the magician characters! But they cannot use magic, I think the reason they did this, was because of their weapons not being "Mage type" weapons, and being more powerful, so they toned the characters down. (Wendel uses claws as her weapon) Maybe they didn't want the characters to be OP, even though there is one character you can get, that has a fighter type weapon, that can use magic. (Obviously, it's a different story, but still.)

Overall, Rita is a quirky, and unique character, who walks like Tommy Pickles from the Rugrats, and is a nice mix between a mage, and fighter character. Who may or may not be, and ancestor to the trickster Meg, from Suikoden I & II. (Considering Suikoden IV takes place 150 years before the first game, and they hint this with other characters in Suikoden V.)

Go Fund Me

What is Go Fund Me you ask? I'll tell you! Go Fund Me is a volunteer/donation site that allows you to either help people out by donating money to a worthy cause, or by starting a cause to help whatever your situation may be.
For example, if you have a terrible illness, but don't have enough money to pay for a cure (Surgery etc...) you can make a go fund me and allow people to send you money for your illness. Or perhaps you're in a rut with money, and you need a boost? You can make a go fund me to help out! There are plenty of reasons why someone would make a go fund me.

My friend Donna has a go fund me, she is in a rut, she needs money and she can't pay many bills!

Formspring memory lane

Today is memory lane day!

So here's the story about how I got into formspring in the first place.

Formspring was a question, and answer website that started in 2009. By 2013, it got changed to Spring.me, which in my opinion, and countless others, was a very porno type of name.
Even though it became Spring.me, I still call it Formspring.

But the way I got into Formspring, is very much of a domino effect.

This all started back in 2010..

I was on a forum called Wober, and someone made a topic about a cool new ask, and answer site called formspring. I joined in January 2010, just to advertise my forum. My advertisements weren't going anywhere, so I just left.

 Fast forward to a few months later in the summer...

I was on bing, orbviously, looking for a sugar daddy. (jk lol)

I typed in something gay, and I found a yahoo answers question. One person who answered, said something really homophobic. I wanted to "thumb down" their answer, but it wouldn't let me because I wasn't a "level two". So I decided, I would become a level two on yahoo answers so I could thumb down a negative question!
Well, I got really attached to Yahoo answers, I was on it all the time. I eventually became a level three, but by the time I was a level two, I had forgotten about the answer I wanted to thumb down.
 I lost the link, and forgot about it, which is funny since the only reason I used Yahoo Answers, was for that purpose.  I ended up making a friend named Jye, he was a cool bisexual Asian guy around my age, but younger. I think he was 18, or 19 and I was 20. He liked anime, video games all that stuff. I found him on yahoo answers, and he had a formspring. I figured I'd stop by again, and say hi to him on there.
Jye was a blast to talk to! And eventually I made friends with a girl named Teri Pterodactyl, who was also cool. Teri was also a jerk at the same time, and was also friends with two gay boys,  "Outer Spacer" and "Noel Joel".
Joel, was a shy kid who likes anime, and video games, especially Legend of Zelda. Outer Spacer, was an energetic kid, but also kind of a brat.

Teri and I would have conversations about Jye, because he just kind of disappeared!
She was telling me that he was suicidal, and that she's worried about him! She linked me to one of his yahoo answers questions.
It doesn't let you see his answer/questions anymore, but for research purposes, his old profile is here. I advise anyone, not to message this account, as if he is still around, not to pester him. This is just for research use.  account.

One day, Jye vanished from Formspring, Teri and I were worried.The only good thing is that his account got disabled, and went back and forth from disabled/non-disabled. Teri mentioned you can only disable if you do it, Formspring doesn't just delete accounts, especially not for a reason. There was still hope that Jye was alive, but unfortunately we never heard from him again. It was upsetting to me because he was really cool, and fun to talk to.
Despite Jye's disappearance, I still got along, and talked with Teri, Joel and Spacer, we made a bit of a four musketeers.
I was later introduced to my friend Braylon Bay, who I talked to for a long time. (I ended up blocking him on facebook, because he would only comment on my facebook posts when it was about politics, and was always negative about it.) he was one of Teri's friends, and actually doesn't remember her anymore, and doesn't realize we met through her!

Joel knew this bisexual guy I can't remember the name of, but I want to say his name was "Mystery" or something similar to Thumper. Him and I had about the same taste in men, we both love older muscular guys. Last I heard from him, he ended up with a flamboyant guy, he went up and vanished too.
Since I was having Formspring fever, I had also used FS to find my real life friend Toche, and ask her some questions,as well as my online friend Thais.

Eventually, me and teri broke it off, because she was turning into a jerk. She was accusing me of posting "disturbing images". It was two anime girls with a birthday cake, and she thought it was pedo worthy. She was the only one that thought that too, when I showed it to other people, they didn't think anything of it. So I think it was her, who came up with weird thoughts, and then got mad at me for posting the picture. She was all.. I know you're gay, but that's too far. I was like what are you even talking about?! I was over how rude she was to me constantly, and that was just the last straw, so I told her I didn't appreciate how she was talking to me.
Teri wasn't sure if she was Asexual, or a Lesbian. So it's quite possible it was just her,if she had any feelings for girls  maybe she just saw it as weird, because to her, that picture was MORE than just two grills with a cake.

This picture to be exact.

Later on I met more friends, ericcartman, likes south park, and K pop. Pan Tokki likes anime, IDBATMAN, Jack L  likes anime, and works with a company that helps graphic designers jobs. Lord Sir knight from england, Chocomax who likes using Hitler as her pictures as a joke, all whom I have on facebook and stay in touch with.
As well as two asexuals, who are unfortunately the only asexuals I've ever met knowingly. Which is also sad since I have yet to meet an asexual in real life.

I also became friends with a kid named Ronan, he was 15 when I first talked to him, and somehow he's already like 21 and I'm just like.. they grow up so fast.. *tear*... Although I may or may not be jealous that I'm like 5 years older than him and he has already had boyfriends before and I'm here collecting dust all. I've never even been kissed,but anyways, Logan is hilarious. Definitely one of the funniest people that I know the existence of, he's always posting funny things on facebook.
Ronan and I became great friends and we have a rare friendship where we bash each other and call each other ho's, sluts and puta's (Oh my!)...
Unfortunately, we slowly stopped talking around 2015, and are no longer in contact anymore.

Eventually, Outer Spacer and Joel had a fight, Joel is kind of a creeper.. He loves twinks, especially in tank tops, but he was being too creepy with Spacer, writing love poems and saving pictures of Spacer on his computer.

..creeeeeepy..

Spacer even got in touch with the local authorities, the cops actually came to Joels house! Although nothing happened,  I do hope that Joel learned something from this!
He's a good kid, he's great with English. One of the few people online that I know that always make sure to use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling! He just has to stay away from the creeper side, and everything will be great!

Mystery, Teri, and I were like... WOAH. But we also though that Spacers reaction was rather harsh, and Mystery was really mad at Spacer. (Even though I didn't talk to Teri anymore at this point, we did reconnect shortly about this incident)

Ronan and Joel spoke for a while, Joel is afraid everyone thinks he's annoying. Ronan don't care.. nothing bothers him, except for Michelle Bachman, but who doesn't that woman bother?!

....anyways...

I also met a girl named Mystique, she was so much fun to talk to! She also became friends with Ronan as well. She got me into the show Supernatural, as she had showed some gay themed gifs of the show that piqued my interest in it.

Mystique was in a confused state, she thought she was bisexual. She had a thing for hats, and talking about peeing...
Her and I share a similar taste for black comedy, some things were just so gruesome but we loved, or agreed with it.

Eventually, I became friends with lot's and lot's of anime fans on the Formspring. As did Braylon.
I met some interesting people, such as Teen Team, who I have on facebook, he has his own comic and tends to have a more offensive taste of humor, as do I.

Milky, I had also became friends with a bit earlier too, she got in with all of the anime kids too and kept getting banned for stupid reasons. lol

There was a particular feud with two girls Ketchup and Cosgrow, I don't know what happened. But I was upset with one of them because she didn't like to answer me very often, and there were cues that she didn't really want to talk to me, so I was like #ByeFelicia

Eventually, I got my friends Chaco, Sage and Queen on Formspring, even though they didn't use it that much. Chaco, of course had to go on Teri's profile, and continuously spam her as to why she had been mean to me, even though it was at least a year later...XD

Eventually, Formspring was getting too addicting, and I was procrastinating way too much! I was trying to leave., so I'd leave, and came back, as did Mystique. She'd leave for long periods of time, and I was so happy when she would come back, she would literally make my day when she came back on formspring.
I wasn't too much of a fan of her friend "Betsy with the bad hair" though, she was ignorant and thinks people should have straight pride day... liek gurl seriously.. ¬_¬ And just in case you're wondering... we don't need straight pride for the reason below...

After Mystique left for a while, she came back, and I loved that she came back, I was excited. However, it didn't last long, Mystique started changing. She started to become very nasty, not only to me, but everyone else too.
Eventually it got to the point where I was once excited to talk to her, and eventually, I dreaded talking to her. She would put me down, or just be really nasty, and would just put me in a bad mood. I eventually broke it off with her, and It took me like four days to recover. I was so depressed because she had been such a fun, and interesting person, and somehow over night she became this intolerable asshole

I have a few blog posts about her, and I used the surname Mystique.. as seen here http://hotspotsportal.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Mystique%20Series

After I broke it off with Mystique, I became friend hungry. I wanted some new friends!
I particularly became friends with two people, SexyLexi.. which I don't know why she chose that name.. and Lord Of Storm's End, who is a friend of IDBATMAN.

Libby is actually the girlfriend of Braylon, which is how we had met. An avid anime fan and cosplayer.
Lord of Storms End is a friend of IDbatman, who I had been following on formspring and chatted with from time to time. He shares the same interests for sci fi and fatasy shows like Supernatural and Teen Wolf, and we're both gay, so we hit it off pretty well.

Eventually, Mystique wanted to apologize after 4 months, and I took her apology. But it wasn't the same, we just naturally did not talk that often anymore, we couldn't be friends like we used to, it just wasn't the same anymore.
Eventually I left formspring for good, even though I may pop on to answer a question here or there, I stay away from it because it was so addicting, and I need to do more important things in my life.

Mystique had said something that I find sweet, when I made my goodbye question to everyone on formspring..

"For the best.

Have a nice life baby"

After that, I bid adieu.. and to think that this was all because of one person saying something ignorant on yahoo answers that lead me to all of this, all of the friends, the fights, the fun I shared.. and the addiction of being on that site, last year, I closed an interesting chapter on my life too...

(This next part, where I name people. Isn't really needed in the blog, but I'll keep it in for nostalgia's sake)
I still have a few people on facebook, including. Lord of Storms end, IDBATMAN, Sexy Lexi,  Ronan, Joel, Jack, Ericcartman, Pan, TeenTeam, and of course my other friends Thais, Toche, Chaco and Queen. (Sage doesn't exist, he's actually Chaco, the real Sage prefers not to go online that much anymore.)
(As of 2019, Ronan deleted me on facebook years back. Which was rude, we were good friends! I don't really talk to anyone from there anymore, but most of the people right above, I have on FB. I really only talk to my friend Van now, and he's close friends with IDBATMAN, who wants to be anonymous. So I still talk to them.)

This was all made because Lord of Storm's End, Van.. because we were discussing something and I was like.. oh man I have a nostalgia boner now!!! I have to write!!!!
