    My First Convention

    I'd been meaning to put this up earlier, but well, better late than never.

    Tomorrow and through Sunday, I'll be out of town - my dad and I are going to a convention over in Beckley. Dad's going to be vending a table there to try and sell some books.

    Thoughts on Harakiri (1962)

    Wow. This was a masterclass in buildup and tension. I knew about Masaki Kobayashi's movie before - a scathing indictment of the samurai and the honor code that they profess to live by - but all the same, watching the movie had me hooked from start to finish. :scootangel:

    Thoughts on Galaxy Quest

    Finally getting around to writing up my thoughts on this one. I had heard plenty of good things about it from my parents, though I had yet to see it. Finally, we rung in the new year by watching "Galaxy Quest" with dinner.

    I watched Godzilla x Kong yesterday

    And all in all?

    It was fun. Good mindless monster mash of a film. Funny how much some of the stuff with Kong in the movie made me think, just a little, of Primal. If only for the lack of dialogue and the importance of character through action and expression.

Important Message for a dark topic · 10:40pm March 5th

Passing this along.

Pen Dragon has made an important petition, about a subject that I do believe to quite important and worth people's time and attention.

In their own words--

WARNING: This blog contains topics of Suicide and Hate Speech. If you are sensitive to such topics or are uncomfortable. This is the time for you to leave.

For those who remain, I want you all to know that this isn’t a blog post about me and for the sake of respecting the one involved and following the rules, I will not be adding her name to this blog and I will not add the names of the individuals who had targeted her with their bigotry, hate speech, and discrimination.

Just know that from this point onward. There is no turning back and whether you hate me or support my cause is up to you. One way or another this needs to be said and if no one will do it.

I will…

About a month ago, someone had almost committed suicide because of the actions of former friends of hers. You all may know who this person is and you may know who was involved. Because I definitely know who they are. At least the obvious ones.

The reason why she was targeted was because she was transitioning and she wrote a heart felt message about coming out and sharing her story with everyone and these people that used to be her friend. They weren’t as accepting, and told her that she was making a mistake, and threatened to come after her. Using their “religion” and. “sexism”as an excuse to attack her.

Making her question her decision and posting blog posts of their hatred and lies and using their followers to harass her. Using slang to discriminate against her that I won’t use because it’s wrong. It honestly embarrasses me that they would use their religion as an excuse to hate people who just want to be themselves. They nearly drove this innocent brony into making a mistake that she wouldn’t be able to take back.

Thankfully that didn’t happen and she’s getting the help she needs now. What I can’t abide by though is that these asshats are still roaming around when they should be BANNED!!! It disgusts me that people like them actually exist and they STILL believe they’re in the right!? A person almost took their own life because of them. And to those morons who are out there. I hope you are reading this because I want you to know you are a disgrace to this fandom, an embarrassment to your own religion, and are a horrible human being. How dare you weaponize your own religion to target this person who just wanted to be accepted!

This site is called “Friendship is Magic” Meaning there is friendship for ALL! Everyone! If you didn’t want to be friends then anymore that is fine, but to attack people is an absolute disgrace. I hope they feel regret reading this and if not, well… I said what I needed to say.

As for our Moderator’s and Admins, they are complete idiots who don’t really care about this site anymore. It’s their job to enforce the rules when they are broken and the fact these assholes are still on this site skulking around like little termites is an insult to this and to themselves.

This is supposed to be a safe space, a place for everyone to come together and read stories, write blogs, make friends, write stories and so on! If you do read this blog and you want to make things right with the community moderators. GET. THEM. OFF. THIS. SITE!

For those of you out there who are going through a difficult time, or have these thoughts of ending it all. I ask and beg of you to get help, your life is precious, all life is… ending it won’t solve anything.

Everyone who believes that we need to make a change sign this petition.

https://chng.it/zMYP8Lg76t

Sign it and help stop the hate and let’s make this site a fun and safe place for everyone.

I have checked the comments section; jesus christ, what a shitshow.

But more importantly... I checked the page of one of the instigators. I really hope it's true and is permanent... but it seems like one of them is possibly gone for good. Let us hope it stays that way.

I've looked at the comments as well. "Shitshow" is quite accurate.

But still... let us hope, right?

Agreed. Sometimes, miracles really do happen, eh?
