Hello, everybody! How is it going? I'm not dead!
I'm back to this website. It's been a long time since I last uploaded here. The page has changed so much...
I hope to be able to start uploading within this month or the beginning of November. I want to post a couple small things before I go back to how things were before, making full sprite sheets, accepting commissions and such. I will post another journal explaining how everything will work once I am ready for it.
Goodbye and see you in the next post!

Old scams never die

Hello there! How are you?
Today, they have called me from Microsoft (with an occult number) to tell me that my computer had been sending warning reports for some time because someone was using my computer to do illegal things, and if I didn't do something to stop it they would block my computer in an hour. All this in English (I live in Spain.)
Wow. That escalated quickly. And why do it in English in a country where English isn't the first or the second language?
My computer has been working nicely, I always have my antivirus updated and never go to weird places, so this was very, very strange to me. The woman wanted me to get into my computer and check some things, but I didn't press a single key. Instead, I asked about more information of those reports and the illegal activities, but she didn't give me any answers and repeated that someone was doing illegal stuff over and over again. Then, I asked why they had been waiting for so long to call me, but she gave no details and said "That's why we're calling you right now!". Yeah, you detect someone's using my computer for illegal things and you wait some time to tell me. Not only that, you call ME instead of the police or some kind of authority. Sure thing.
I asked her to talk to someone else, since understanding that woman was a true challenge. I bet my English is better than hers, especially since I had to tell her twice or three times that I wanted to talk to someone else before she understood me. The second person was a guy, and -surprisingly- he talked even worse than the previous one. I ended up asking for a person who spoke in Spanish and they got me to a person who spoke Spanglish (a mixture of Spanish and English.) The only reason I kept talking at this point was to find a contradiction or enough evidence to demonstrate their obvious scam and strongly make fun of the speaker, but I was getting bored of playing along.
The ending?
Me: Look, I am going to hang up.
Guy: Well, your computer will be blocked.
Me: Ok. I don't care
Guy: Well, *angry rambling* motherfucke *hangs up*
Me: *laughs loudly*
An hour has passed and my Thresh shimeji is cutely asleep as I write these lines
I didn't give away any IP information or personal data and did not follow their instructions, so I am safe. I cracked myself up when he insulted me xD I wish I had thought of telling them "I am a Linux user!" when they started with the weird stuff.
Anyways, the reason why I post this is to warn other people (be it English speakers or not) that this scam is coming back once again, since Windows XP support team was shut down and they're trying with Win7/Win10 users. Be careful!
Bye bye! ^^/

Hello! This is the journal I mentioned in my status. This is a raffle about icons!
I'll make it simple: there will be 10 slots in this raffle, one per user. One user can only ask for one character. You must be a watcher of mine to enter, since this is for them. Watching me now won't allow you to get a slot, though. This is FIFS - First In, First Served!
The characters must follow these rules:
-It must be human or humanoid.
-It must not have wings/horns. If they have wings but they can hide them is ok; I'll make it wingless.
-They can have accessories, such as earrings, piercings or necklaces.
-You must have total or partial ownership of the character you're asking for (example: the child of an OC of yours and someone else's.)
-It must have a picture showing its appearance (be it a drawing, a painting, a cosplay... A visual reference, in short. Descriptions won't be accepted.)
-It can be either an OC or a character from a fandom, as long as it's human(oid).
OPTIONAL: link me a bio, so people who like your character can learn more about it!
Your comment must have the name of your OC and their reference(s).
I'll close this raffle once the ten slots are filled or seven days have passed. I'll consider making another raffle if this one is successful (this is, if the 10 slots are filled before the seven days.)
1. MH Jas Doll (MidnightMadness15)
2. Neko Mizu (NekoMizu68)
3. Kor (Garenaxmix)
4. Circ (dragonholder411)
5. Alouette Germanie (sunjian54)
6. Shadow Nightmare (Flamme2)
7. Maya (Venterita)
8. Max (Ana-J)
9. Sharyka Winchester (Kakao-Skill)
10. Plague Doctor (SweetRevenge09)
This is pretty much it. Bye bye!
Oh, yes, before I forget: to make sure you read it all, write "Oreo" or place an Oreo in your comment along with the rest of requirements. Failing to do so will disable you from taking a slot.
