Hi I'm Vex.

Skip to the part where it says 'skip to this part' if you want to get to the "point" of this journal. Maybe I should have done this years ago so people wouldn't be following me under apparently 'false pretenses'. But aye. No better time than now right. Disclaimer: However this influences your decision to +watch or -watch me. Go you either way. Because both benefit me. How? I mean yeah I want you to +watch. Fuck yeah man I want you to be around as long as YOU want to be. But I'd also rather someone that has issues with me/how i am. Stay the fuck away from me. :) This way you can go be around people who agree with you and -I- can be around people who agree with me. I'm not seeing a loss here. Hi. I'm Vex. Art is my life. I fear my hands crippling to the point where I can't draw, more than I fear death. To me...that would be a worse fate than death. Off that statement alone you can probably guess how important art is to me. I was that bad ass kid that picked up a crayon first....and started drawing on the walls. In 3rd grade, when they asked everyone wanted they wanted to be? I said an artist. In 6th grade, I came up with my 'artists honor'. I showed an english teacher my drawing and said, "It's not very good. But at least I drew it myself. It's against my code to trace." (some of you assholes that don't believe me, i still have the drawings from then :D ((there's quite a bit of extremely old art on my deviantart ) It was also in 6th grade that I realized my love of furries. During the scholastic book thingy (FUCK YEAH THOSE WERE GREAT) I picked up the book 'FREAKS' ( http://www.amazon.com/Freaks-Fantas...../dp/0823016625 ). I fell in love. I was always a 'weird' kid. To avoid this becoming a 400pg book, i'll just say 'and i haven't stopped drawing since'. stepping away from art though. Hi. I'm Vex. I'm opinionated. Loud. Sarcastic. And I believe you get what you give. I'm not afraid to say, what the fuck I have to say. Oh yeah. I swear. Immensely. Apparently all those things make a person a 'bitch'. I call it not taking shit. When It comes to my work, yes i'm pretty serious. Even outside of work i'm not really one to emote and smiley face all over the place to people i don't know. If i had to describe myself as an animal. I'm a cat. People hate on them and call them unloving. They like to be left alone but when they want loving they seek it from the people who have -earned- their affection. (hmm...strangely accurate) If I'm in the hanging out mood though. I'm pretty chill. People who have actually taken more than 5minutes to talk to me, know this. And usually I'm not an asshole unless you give me a reason to be. I'd say, that's all pretty damn fair. /shrug Skip to this part-- Lemme put some shit said about me to rest: Person: "Vex blocks anyone that disagrees with her." Me: That's a dumbass statement. No i'm not going to block someone if they hate hip hop, hamburger helper, tumblr, etc. So again. Dumbass statement. But when it comes to things I'm PASSIONATE ABOUT, no i don't want anything to do with people who disagree. Cause i'm not about to debate about it, our opinions arent going to change, and i want nothing to do with it. And I think that holds true for ANYONE. So yes. I will block you if you're going to asspat people for tracing over the age of 15. Yes I will block you if you think it's okay 'borrow' someone elses character art and RP with it. Yes. I will block you if you think donald trump is intelligent. Person: "Vex is mean to me." Me: By what standards. If you literally go up to ANYONE with a problem with me, and ask them what i've DONE TO THEM PERSONALLY you either aren't going to get an answer. OR you're going to get something stupid like this: "well i kept saying how i was hungry in her stream and she told me to either go get food or stop complaining. she didn't have to be such a bitch" <--if logic offends you. then yeah. i'm mean. Person: "Vex is unapproachable" Me: if you're saying this without ever having met me in person or joined a 'kick back' stream. Then I don't know where you're getting your information but whatever works for you bro. I literally do not have TIME to sit here and ONE ON ONE chat with each person to convince them otherwise. This is what cons and designated streams ARE FOR. (keyword: designated. there are some streams i really am just super focused on work. Usually my mic is off during these. ) Person: "Vex is so negative" Me: Proof? Cause you wanna take two seconds to go through my journals (Before I deleted them all and moved to blogger lol) and see how many shout outs, signal boosts, advice journals, tutorials I've shared? Shit for a while I was doing a wednesday thing where i'd just kick in a journal and talk to you guys. Unfortunately SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC HAND PAIN it became too much to respond to those. As well the voice recognition things just aren't fast/accurate enough for my patience very often. I could go through a list of all the shit said about me and be here all day but the summary of me is: I am as kind to you. as you are to me. You don't screw me over and I won't screw you over. More than half the people with 'problems' with me can attest to that(thought they won't admit it). they didn't start 'hating' me until they or someone they know did something fucked up and i got mad about it. Even though sometimes i need a break. I try to be as involved in this community as i can. As involved with -my watchers- as I can. I'm watching new upcoming artists all the time. I'm posting signal boosts. I'm hosting streams and actually GREETING people as they join. I can't begin to COUNT how many 'thank you' journals i've posted, hoping people would see it and know how fucking grateful i am to this community for making my dream of being an artist....being able to say I DRAW for a living, a possibility. So. Whatever you decide to do. Whatever you decide to say. Whether you go. Or whether you stay. Just make sure you have your facts straight Thanks. /shrug
