The Importance of Recognizing Art

A friend of mine spent most of the weekend making two paintings. Once it was done she texted me, and asked if I wanted to see them. I said yes, just to be polite. I'm not a big painting person, so I really didn't care. I took a cursory look at them and only responded with "Wow. Those look amazing." It was a very generic answer, but it did look impressive. After a while of her not responding (I thought she had seen through my not caring) I took another look at the painting. After studying it for a while, I began to notice subtle details in the two paintings. It moved me. This painting a college student made moved me, and I was just going to ignore it. After some time I gave her a possible title for the paintings and then gave a pretty lengthy analysis about how I came to that title. After a few minutes I got a call from her. . She told me thank you for analyzing her paintings. It sounded like she was crying.

Now why bring this up? My father has never seen the point of my analysis of various TV shows and comics because he doesn't see anything there. That I should really just keep to things with actual depth. My friend's reaction to me talking about her paintings was the perfect reminder for me to why I do this. When you put your heart and soul into a work of art (whether it be music, a short story, or a painting) one of the worst things to happen is to be brushed off. To be basically told that 'Ya, it's fine, but it's not really important or worth looking into. It's not like it has depth.' is something that can sting even more then being told your work sucks. Because being told your work sucks at least means that they looked at it long enough to get an opinion. 

I sadly was almost in the same group of just not caring about art, but I'm glad I took a second look. Because I took that second look, I not only got a great sensation of hope from the images, but I also helped a young woman know that her art touched someone. Hopefully this will allow her to keep creating and keep inspiring emotions.

The Yes/No option

I was hanging out with some friends earlier today and the topic of conversation came to the yes/no option in games. I should clarify I don't mean an actual choice in games. I mean the yes/no option that won't let you continue with the game until you say yes. Once this was brought up the logical question to about, Why would that exist? After thinking about it for a while I think I've come up with two answers.

My Valentine's Pokémon

I love Pokémon Valentine's Day Cards. Because they can be really cleaver, funny, or just sweet.

Pokémon ORAS

And here we go. My final team for now. Once again I have only one Mega in the form of Champ. I honestly struggled with an idea for a name so I went with the generic. Trumpet is named after a nuzlocke comic I read a while ago. Sadly I don't actually remember what the comic is called. If someone could tell me I'd be grateful. Oneova is the favorite I've ever thought of. Of all the zubats in the world mine is One of a kind. Get it? One of a. Oneova. Radar came from me looking at the pokédex. Firefox is a simple name, as is Snow.

Pokémon X

I give you team blue plus Talonflame. I didn't actually notice the color thing until I made this image. I wanted to continue the trend of only using new pokémon from Pokémon White, and I wanted at least one mega. That's basically how the team was formed. For a final note, I did actually have a 6th team member in mind. It was going to be a gen 6 ground type that wasn't Diggerby because that thing is ugly, and that means something to me when I make a team. As it turns out, the ONLY other ground type in generation 6 is a legendary that can only be caught after the main adventure. It's like Sinnoh with Fire all over again.

Why is DC getting rid of J'onn Jonzz from the Justice League?

This is an actual question I'm asking. Martian Manhunter was one of the founding members of the Justice League when the league was first created. He also has a power that the rest of the the league really doesn't have. So why is he not seemingly not in the movie universe?

The cool trick that Ant-man pulled off

Shrinking became a cool super power.
