Fellow Raptors
Hey guys new filter and want to talk to you about the same issue with Gamma still. Posting it here because some of you aren't on DA anymore. Asher is on this filter too but I did not mention him. I may note him the link later on.

Gamma is not included in this filter at the moment because I have not been happy with her for months. Now we all talked about this on DA prior to me leaving on my trip. I discussed it with her twice and the issue has not been resolved. I think she's just giving us all excuses now. I don't buy into the "I'm so tired" when I get home line because I'm an introvert too and almost all of us here are. Work is way harder than school and I and Chris get tired but we still have time. Again a normal introvert needs time off. We all disappear but this is ridiculous. If she's that tired all the time then she needs to go see a doctor because this goes beyond introversion and is a serious physical condition. Yeah I call BS on this one. Chris works crazy hours doing physical labor. He's an INTP yet he still comments to those he watches and makes journal enough.
Art Block. Everyone gets art block but art block does not keep you from posting to your friends. Her and I long ago talked about priority people and if you're too tired but you have time then you at least reply to the priority people in this case the other raptors. I posted the new character sheet for Fear yesterday. She was on. She posted that stupid Canada status post that has turned into an idiot RP game by two of her watchers. These are low quality people because anyone with half a brain would not RP on something posted by someone they watch. I WAS watching Sadogus but after she started posting crying budgies and then the stupid selfish comment begging for gift art of her character I removed her from my watch. I may even flick her from watching me because she brings nothing of substance and is not following my rules of participation. Back to the point. Art block is no excuse and it's not just me I have noticed she does not comment to any of you anymore.
Summoning and bird posts only. The only way you can get her to comment is to summon her with a mention or a gift art. This is very wrong. She should be there for us. She visits my journal or she used to. The last time she looked here was a few days ago on the 27th. If she's looking she needs to be commenting. If she's looking she has time. Same on DA. I told her in real life the only reason I added the account Nuclear Wessels was because I wanted to see when she was on as she was hiding from me on that account. The content of that account does not interest me at all. Another thing that we talked about was in real life which was Inspire and I found it rather hypocritical that she told me it was because of her that Inspire made that last journal. She forced her to post it and told her she had to and then we all dropped her. Except me I was left out of the loop on this. I told her I would pass the word on to Peregrine and Shanglong as they were the only ones she had not told about this and they are closer to me than her. BUT then I told her that tip for tat I want her to write a journal about my visit. I drove the length of a continent to visit her why wasn't she excited about this? Why didn't she write a pre journal saying, "My friend Thagirion is coming to visit I'm so happy." And then afterwards write "She visited and we had a great three days. Here are some pics I took. I got a new bird thanks to her I haven't been able to ever get." As Shanglong said on ACTipton's journal it's nice to see things from the other perspective and ACTipton wrote a neat journal about my visit. If you haven't seen that post check it out to hear about it from the other point of view. Shanglong even asked Gamma to write the journal too. So far nothing. And she only commented on my journal because I used her icon. I should have made it text only then she would not have gotten a mention. Roller she only commented on your LJ because you mentioned her and said you were making gift art for her. All of us have since posted art or journals both on DA and LJ and nothing. I'm getting sick of it. I'm sorry but if I have a great time I want the world to know about it even if I'm a total introvert which I am. Also she was visiting here. Why didn't she comment on my trip updates with comments like, "You're getting closer. You're almost here I'm looking forward to it." Chris and Peregrine were way more helpful with this. They helped me and encouraged me when I was having those second thoughts of going home part way there. Actipton too.
The parent situation. Her parents were nice to me. Even offered to let me stay at their house. I declined it though. I need to send them a thank you card. Now I know they probably put on an act in front of me and all guests. I know this because my mother would do this. I know all about oppressive parents that have to put on a mask that all is perfect. Yet despite that they did let her go out with me for hours and hours which I am thankful for their trust. Gamma herself on a skype told me she had a deeply good time. I could sense she was holding something back when I asked her why she didn't tell me about Inspire. Did she think I would not side with her? It's getting less and less likely now, but I had hoped my visit would rekindle the friendship. AT this rate she stands to lose us all and gain people of annoying qualities like Sadogus. I know I gave her a taste of freedom. Took her to new places she'd never seen, did things like draw, let her use my tablets and watch movies and we even had quiet time. Does that mean nothing or is she now depressed because she can't have these things. If things are so bad at home she needs to get her act together get a job, any job and get a car. I offered to give her a driving lesson but I know that fear all too well and didn't push her into it because she was afraid to drive my car but that would have been something to teach her basic driving skills. I partially posted that thing about how to move out for her. I think she did not comment on that either. Luckily this trip was no longer about her. It started that way. It was about going to Canada and visiting her more than anything but as these things began to go down hill before the trip it became more about visting my aunt, Tipton, CVersailles and working on my driving.
Broken promises. I am still waiting for her to comment on the Triangulum posts I made because she said she would. I hold everyone to their word be it friend or foe. You tell me you will do something or you are a certain way you better damn well then stick to that. The promise she would write the journal about the vacation. The promise she would post the photos and drawings she made while I was there. Granted I have most of those drawings but I don't feel like giving them to her because I doubt she'll do anything with them.
Fantasy only. Gamma seems to not be able to relate to us unless it has to do with birds or bird art. You guys know I talk about a variety of subjects all of which are interesting. Apart from birds and my characters I talk about plants, travel, science, driving, gaming and things that happen to me in real life and more. Well on these topics she does not comment. She can only talk about her stories, birds and sometimes our characters and that is wrong. She has a very narrow field of view and it is making for conversations that are breaking down or in this case non exist. This is a very childish thing when she should be growing and maturing. She's 18 she shouldn't be acting this way. I also got annoyed when she whinned that no one was commenting on her LJ other than me when that was not true. Just that most of us have jobs or school like AudeS and Shanglong and well most of you and you do reply when you have time unlike her. Then she does this to us which is the same thing. I call foul. None of us post boring things. Bottom line she needs to be there for us.
Triangulum. And you guys know I'm angry about this one. Triangulum is my project now completely. I will no longer be asking her for her advice despite half the main characters being hers. We talked about this but it still angers me that she asked me to be on the project when it was originally going to be just me. Again don't tell me you're going to do something because I expect you to stick to your word or hold up your end of the bargain. And the excuse that she doesn't play video games is just that an excuse. You don't have to know how to play games to come up with concepts. I've pretty much masterminded this whole thing on my own. AudeS, Joker, Chris and Colonel have put way more into this to the point that if this became a game they'd be in the credits and not her. I showed her Skyrim so now she's seen what a real RPG is like. I wish we'd had time for me to show her Mass Effect as that was a bigger influence and more up her alley but oh well. Oh and it's because of her I dragged the Xbox and PS4 all over creation. Waste of time and space for me the majority of the trip as I didn't or couldn't use them anywhere else. The virus game I couldn't get to work because you have to be online which is something I hate about modern games but that's a rant for another time.
Art quality dropping. As far as creativity goes. No one questions she can draw birds but it is now lacking in creativity. I remember when she used to complain about S type artists that only draw fruits or paintings of dogs. They are realistic and good but empty for having no story. Well now she's joined the ranks. Yes pretty paintings but no stories anymore. I understand not spoiling things but she's holding back too much on the stories and I'm losing interest. I need to know what's going on. Too much "I just threw this together". Remember I understand about art block but this is just quality dropping. I also warned her about straying from her own unique style as her parrots are looking less like parrots and anime is a bad influence. I pointed out the bad eyes that are unclosed and un realistic because that. She blamed Inspire for it. It is important to hold to a standard of excellence in what you do, what you are and the people you associate with. Not that I need her to post all the time. The honest selfish answer is I'd rather she and everyone comment to me. I was telling someone today that to me the artist is more important than the art and I enjoy a good conversation. This has been lacking with Gamma.
That's all I can think of at the moment. I know that's a lot actually. You guys know I want to be through. Also I may add her to the list as I feel I will have to confront her one last time. And I mean that. This is the third time and I'm sick of confronting her and nothing is improving. She needs to fess up to me and to all of us. I will say it the friendship is in jeopardy and I am not happy with her at all and how she's been acting towards me and us.
EDIT: Gamma can comment on this now. She is the only one that can clarify this mess now.
EDIT:EDIT: I want to add the whole topic of her claiming to leave DA as I forgot to mention this and it was a topic we had previously discussed a few months ago through notes on DA. I will repost my comment to Solartornado.
The whole "I'm leaving DA" business. She never left. I saw her on every single day and that ticked me off. If you say you're leaving then you sure as hell better make good on that and leave. That means no peaking, no logging in, no faving. Leaving is LEAVING. When I was sick I needed to take a break and I did not log in. I had Chris keep my account clean and I got the peace and quiet I needed to rest. I completely unplugged. I never made a journal about it saying I was leaving because it was not permanent and I did not know how long the hiatus would be for. Now I am back like nothing happened. It is a pet peeve of mine when people do this because again if you say you're going to do something I will hold you to your word but she has been on everyday which means she could have been commenting.
And a list of those she owes art to that need to be priority.
