There's been a lot of attention and traffic building around Weasyl in the last week, and there's a good chance that will continue, so let's use this thread to exchange Weasyl usernames!

For those not familiar, Weasyl is an art-site that isn't furry-specific, but very furry friendly. They have lots of great features like art folders, tag filtering, friends-only settings, being able to set what kinds of notifications you get from followed users, a thumbnail cropping tool, a proper streaming system, and a whole mess of other cool things! If you're not already on Weasyl, you should definitely sign up!

And of course, if you want to find the Weasyl's of other people you watch on FA, you can use this handy tool (http://projects.weasyl.com/soft/) and this tool to crosspost your FA gallery to Weasyl. (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/waxpost-weasyl-crossposte/boddplgmdhddfmchbifhpdpekfdaenjc?hl=en&gl=US)

Anyway, here's my page. http://www.weasyl.com/~Ben What's yours?

Recently, after closing its doors, Rhode Island development house, 38 studios, began auctioning off its assets. Sadly, not all of them were taken.

As the title says, Yes, i am making a comic :D Now i'd like it to be in the sort of manga black and white, inked look. So, i need some tips from my fellow fur friends! The comic is going to be a fallout or post apocalyptic series with action, adventure and some romance thrown in there to spice things up.

The character part is...well...currently undecided because i have some people in my high school art class (won't be learning inking or anything for another year or so) that want to be in it so i have a main character and some extra characters to use. (They aren't furries just some friends of mine in that class).

But help would be very nice from you all and i thank you for your replies, if you want to have a spot in my comic just private message me on reddit with your fursona and some traits or personality about said fursona. Thank you all again and Happy Holidays!

Characters i will use:

• Zarrow the Gryphon (by Zarrow) Zarrow

• Azalea the Snake (by Zarrow) Azalea

• Clarence the, um, SnorBell? (Pending approval made by Gypseecrush, Presented by Videohusky) Clarence

Announcements! I am now starting the designs for the characters on Saturday (clothing, weapon, what does he or she do, etc) I will start doing the comic next weekend do to the lack of school for 1 and a 1/2 weeks so i will be at home sketching the panels, pages, landscapes, and characters. I will also be making the main characters for the story and i will post them to my Furaffinity account.

I am looking for a suit maker that does good partials. Most of the makers I stumble upon really only do full suits, and my new character was designed entirely with a partial in mind. Also, ones that are open for commission, and could /possibly/ have him done by MFF of next year would be amazingly awesome.

Papabear has been a fan of the show "Family Guy" since it began, although some episodes go too over the top for my taste. Some of you may watch the show and know that the character of Brian the dog got killed a couple episodes back. He was run over by a car. A lot of people were upset by this, and I was a little pissed, too, but I thought, "Hey, that was a bold move, so let's see where Seth MacFarlane, the show's creator, is going with this."

Turns out he just took advantage of the fact that, after all, this is a cartoon, and had Stewie fix his time machine and rescue Brian. Today, Seth MacFarlane, the show's creator, announced that he did the episode around Chrismastime to teach us a lesson to "Never take those you love for granted, for they can be gone in a flash." (see 
http://comicbook.com/blog/2013/12/15/family-guy-seth-macfarlane-reveals-he-killed-brian-griffin-to-teach-fans-a-lesson/)

While this is true, I have to say I take some issue with Mr. MacFarlane's methods. First of all, in the episode where Brian is killed, you might think that he would do something like this: show the car coming, cut away to Stewie's reaction, then cut back to the scene where Brian lies dying on the street. But noooo, MacFarlane actually slows down the show and you get to see every bone-crushing, tissue-squeezing, blood-spurting frame of a beloved character getting the life squashed out of him. Absolutely disgusting and the very definition of "gratuitous."

Yes, it's just a cartoon, but it's still shocking.

Then we go through two episodes of seeing the family in serious emotional pain, especially Stewie, a little child of one (even though he is a genius). Then we are introduced to a new character, another dog who can talk, but with an Italian mafioso accent, and the dog appears in the opening credits.

But no, it's just a stunt. Brian is brought back to life, and we are left with the patronizing message from MacFarlane that we should sit cross-legged on the floor, innocent eyes wide, while the teacher explains to us the hard facts of life.

Well, Mr. MacFarlane, you might not realize this, but I watch your show for a little escapist animated fun, not to be "treated" to a snuff film. If I want to watch drama, I'll click over to "CSI" or "Law & Order." Secondly, your show is geared to adults who have been through just as much, if not more, than you have. How dare you think that you are wiser than everyone else watching your show and assume we don't know how painful and cruel life can be? How dare you say, in effect, that we take our loved ones for granted and therefore need to be taught a lesson through a cartoon? Finally, if you're going to use "Family Guy" as a podium to spout your diatribes to the public, then at least come up with something less cliched than "don't take your loved ones for granted."

Am I overreacting? Yes, probably, because, again, it's just a cartoon, not real life. I suppose MacFarlane might have seen a reason to write this based on the fact that he lost his mother to cancer in 2010, and perhaps he felt he took her for granted and that the lesson he learned should be conveyed to others.

But there is a time and a place for everything, and a cartoon that is supposed to make you laugh and be frivolous fun is not the place for a message like this one.

You see, what Mr. MacFarlane might not realize is that there are some very emotionally vulnerable people out there, and some of them watch his shows. MacFarlane noted, "Oh and hey… thanks for caring so much about the canine Griffin. He is overcome with gratitude.”

Perhaps he doesn't realize how emotionally manipulative his little stunt was. I've had some people write to Papabear in the past who take their fictional characters very seriously, and some get very upset when writers "kill" them. Some people out there can, indeed, be mentally unstable, and killing someone dear to them could be very painful.

Here is one example: http://yilb.com/14-year-old-boy-commits-suicide-over-anime-character.

Television and movies are very powerful. And, as Spiderman said (since we're talking fiction), "with great power comes great responsibility."

I suppose another reason I am upset is that I take my readers extremely seriously. I would never make light of someone else's emotional pain, and it offends me that someone like MacFarlane has treated such a serious subject with such utter contempt for the emotions and intelligence of his audience.

Hi there! I've been thinking about going to a con fir a whole now and was thinking about going to Confuzzled 2014. What do people think of it as a con?

Also generally, I've never been to a con before so I need honest opinions. Are they worth the cost? What to expect? Us it better to stay at the venue or visit? Any funny stories? Thanks in advance!
