Fralex: I'm positively tickled that Kazerad has apparently read Captain Underpants (or maybe it was Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot? That series was a little but older).

Fralex: @Kazerad: could you give us more of a notice when you do livestreams in the future? I only check the comments like once or twice a day.

Fralex: The M&L crossover one was probably my favorite, congratulations!

Fralex: ARGH ignore that, didn't see someone already did it.

Fralex: @Bagman: No no no, that's all wrong. It should be like this.

Fralex: I definitely have many questions for you about this piece, but I'm not sure I'd call the thing itself "questionable"

Fralex: Wait, is ALL Squiggles' lost art here?! This is great news for Team Sadcat's fandub!

Fralex: This is a really simple, but well-done animation. Are you the one who made it?

Fralex: If you want a more realistic jump motion, motion ease can go a long way. She should spend more time in the top of her arc than the bottom.

Of course, if this is the game sprite for a platformer or something, the game's own physics will take care of that.

Fralex: Also, as criticism for the actual thing we're commenting under, it might help if you did something to better-differentiate the two arms. I can only read it the correct way when I focus; otherwise it looks like she's just shifting her arms up and down a few inches rather than swinging them back and forth.

Fralex: There is something oddly relaxing about sharing your concerns with internet strangers, safe in the knowledge that you'll never see them in person so it can't be awkward. I do it a lot.

And @Arcsome, that sucks!
I don't know what I can do to help, but if you like I could add you on Skype. Friends are nice.

Fralex: Ugh, I just wanna pinch her little cheeks.

Fralex: Wheee, there are Katmojis now!

Fralex: What's that book say? "How to Buy a Co-"
Also your monogram is cute.

Fralex: Is she... wielding a pineapple on her back?

Fralex: Shouldn't this be filed under "goodass?"

Fralex: I had to stop the animation to figure out what she was roll-pouncing. Also, the first time I clicked on this link, it crashed my computer, so I think the picture is entitled to some XP now?

Fralex: @Tahrey: Carrot top!

Fralex: ^Oh, wait, that's what you were thinking of, too. Sorry, I didn't read the whole comment. It's late and ADD is happening.

Fralex: My school has one, too! Of course by "school" I'm fairly certain both of us are referring to colleges where crafting takes place frequently.

Fralex: Now I want oatmeal cookies.

Fralex: Katia poking her head out the top of a huge pineapple.

Fralex: @Armored-Struggle-Wagon: OH, that! I thought it was a reference to some previous fanart.

Fralex: @MikeyTheFox: What's the original?

Fralex: Argh wait, I mean

Fralex: http://www.prequeladventure.com/this/story1795.gif

Fralex: Wow, I am in the past now. Whoever made this, your edit is quite cute.

Fralex: @Tahrey: I was imagining them as other pawns. If I'd had time, I might've included ASOTIL as a knight or something. With the angry eyebrows drawn on his horse.

Fralex: Oh, wow, you really have to set it to full size to truly appreciate all the little details.

Fralex: Yay! I was hoping yours would win!

Fralex: Congratulations! This was pretty cool, surprised no one commented yet.

Fralex: @Arcsome: The main idea I was building around was that pawns have no choice but to keep moving forward, unless they take the opportunity to act against another piece. Also, they can become something better when they reach the end of the board.

Fralex: I hope this isn't too late! I got an idea at the last minute and decided I might as well try.

Fralex: @Mayrasiili: "Death was familiar with the concept of the eternal, ever-renewed hero, the champion with a thousand faces. ...he pondered whether, if this creature did exist, it was somehow balanced by the eternal coward. The hero with a thousand retreating backs, perhaps."

Fralex: @Mayrasiili: The Discworld Death is the best depiction of Death as a character that I've come across and I approve of any Grim Reaper inspired by him. Actually, I recall he canonically had a soft spot for cats, so it works really well here.

Wait, what if Katia is this world's version of Rincewind?! Look at the similarities:
-Wannabe wizards for which even mastering a single spell is a huge effort
-Horrible luck, life completely out of their control and used as fate's chewtoy
-Used as a pawn in a game played by godly entities they don't understand
-Surrounded by chaos and disaster
-For all their bad luck and apparent lack of agency, they always just manage to avoid dying.
-Everything seems to fight to direct their life, but no one force, be it gods, Death, daedra, or the readership, can actually wrest total control over it away from everything else. Instead, the net result is an individual whose true fate is impossible to predict OR control, perhaps even to the gods but at the very least to the audience. They're a wildcard that brings about great change, often by accident.

Fralex: Follow-up question: Are we allowed to mail you a sample, so you can judge them by taste as well as aestheics? I mean, if / were judging a cookie contest, that's what I'd want.

Fralex: Nice! Reminds me of Mort by Sir Terry Pratchett.

Fralex: Nyah-nyah, I don't have any finals to study fooorr

I just have three huge final projects

And I'm horribly behind in two thirds of my courses

And doing make-up work sets me behind even more

And I hate everything

Fralex: @Olaffson: Take a photo on your phone and upload it! As long as it's a clear enough picture to show what's going on, it won't matter how good it looks!

Fralex: I haven't gotten to show any of my art yet, even though I've had an account for a while. Actually, I still haven't really, since the only think I drew was the tiny Katia head. But still! It's a start!

Fralex: What if our cookies have a really convincing story baked into them? Do we win both contests? And then get murdered by disgruntled fellow contestants?

Fralex: This is great, though I personally think it would be funnier without the exclamation point.

Fralex: YES, I did it!

Fralex: Wait, what about this?

Fralex: @MetalC0Mmander: According to the box, they are "superior for opera, theater, stargazing, ogling from afar, or any activity that requires very little depth perception." They're also very good if you wish to read promiscuously without risking eye infection, or in any situation where you need to appear classier, like the one pictured above. I myself keep a sealed packet in my wallet for just such an occasion.

Fralex: He's probably using one of Dr Weinersmith's patented Gentleman's Single-Use Unlubricated Monocles. (http://singleusemonocles.com/)

Fralex: The image preview here is very strange.

Fralex: It covers everything necessary, provided she doesn't need to move, or stand in a light breeze!

Fralex: I feel like they could be good friends.

Fralex: So I was closing some tabs in preparation for showing a friend Steins;Gate, and this picture was on one of them. He only saw it for a split second as the tab was closing, IE just long enough to get absolutely NO context for it. He declined to comment. I need to come up with a cunning plan to bring this up again so I can (attempt to) explain myself, or this is going to bother me forever. What do I do? Show a different fanart SO weird he'll HAVE to demand an explanation?
