"I fought the law--" also art dump #134 - Last Exile [1], PoT (Rikkai) [4]
"--and the law won."
So I got a citation today for "fare evasion". I had to meet a friend in SF, and to save gas and avoid having to fight for parking on a Sunday in the city, I took the Caltrain. My mom drove me there but we left too late, so the train was about to pull in when I got off the car and with a mad dash I just barely made it. Obviously I was gonna try to catch the train without getting a ticket as opposed to wait for the next one an hour later. I thought, this sort of thing must happen all the time right? Surely there's some policy for it, I wouldn't even mind if they make me pay double the usual fare. When the conductor came around to check for the ticket I perfectly willingly professed my situation, only to have him unload a shitload of sass on me. Here's how the conversation went:
me: Hi, so the train pulled in just as I got to the station so I didn't have time to get a ticket. I just barely made the train.
CDB (Conductor Douchebag): And where was station where you just barely made the train?
me: Sunnyvale.
CDB: So you've been on the train for quite a while and you haven't approached anyone about it. What're you gonna do?
me: (...What am I gonna do? YOU tell me what I'm gonna do you fat bozo) Well I was thinking that I could maybe pay for the ticket on the train--
CDB: Let me read you our policy. *whips out his little fucking pocket guide and begins to cite me the fucking policy about how the trip must be prepaid, tickets can't be purchased on the train etc*
me: ...Well, I never knew about all that.
CDB: *gives me his best fucking "this is my "I give a shit!" face!"* That's your responsibility, not mine. My job is to make sure people have their tickets.
me: *visibly surly now, naturally* What are my options?
CDB: I could either give you a citation, or I could call the police and have them escort you to the magistrate.
me: *trying really hard to not to kick him through the railing; I was on the 2nd level, he was on the 1st, so I had very good clearance for my foot to his face* ......Could you give me the cost range of the penalty?
CDB: *his fucking face again* I don't know that, that's for the court to decide. (And I was like, COURT?? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THIS IS?)
So he wrote me a fucking citation and gave me NO ADDITIONAL INFO on anything IMPORTANT regarding the citation besides his ASSLOAD OF ASSFUCKETRY. All it said on the sheet was to show up in court by a certain day, "without admitting guilt". I dunno if it means I can just pay it off without all that hassle. Later, on my ride home, I heard an announcement over the intercom reminding people to board with their tickets or face a citation of $250. I was very amused and wondered if they decided to add that because of my case earlier in the day. Also, MOTHERFUCKER didn't tell me the fine was $250. Either he's stupid or he's a complete asswipe. And also, $250. That's worth more than my fucking SPEEDING TICKET, and I wasn't even in danger of KILLING ANYONE. Some days I really hate this country.
ANYWAY, now that I've got my exciting bit of civil disobedience off my chest, here's some sketches.
Dio and Lucciola, of course X3 I love Dio he's so cute T^T For all the shaking on the train, I'm surprised some of these turned out so well. 2nd from bottom right is a SPOILER! moment, and bottom right is how I imagine he'd look like several years after the end of LE.
LOOK BUNNY LOOK I PROMISED! XDDD God I love drawing legs.
This is my "JaBun is retarded comedic love" page. Channeling a little bit of Rikkaimyu XDD W-why do they look terribly like Isaac and Miria in the bottom left pic Okay besides them being retarded you also got oral fixation Bunta and fretting Jackal.
...I love how Sanada turned out. He looks good, and cool, and yet somehow I want to laugh at him. He kinda has a serious failboat face XD Succeeded in making Yukimura not look like a woman (a drag queen maybe, but not a woman), Yagyuu came out alright (and not looking like Raito thank god) and Niou's hair is IMPOSSIBLE.
Akaya looks suitably elfin and bratty, I really like how Yanagi turned out, Bunta looks like a chick T__T (I suppose that would happen after you draw an uke-type a certain number of times) and Jackal looks too... pretty. XD;;
