Hi! My name is K.D., although most online know me as misachan83. I'm 32, and am an author and anime lover. Welcome to the shadows of my creative and sometimes odd mind

Anybody else into this series????

So I got into this manga a while back, and just in April, they released the anime adaption (which I only just learned ^^;) The series is called Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign (Owari no Serafu in Japanese). It has beautiful characters and a cool storyline, definitely one that had caught my eye when I was searching for a decent new manga to read. Anyway, is anyone into this series or know about it? It's nowhere on the 'O from what I've been able to find, and it's really good and interesting. Would've thought I'd seen something on here by now...

Yay, I'm Back!!!

So after five days of not having internet, I'm finally back online. I'm so happy! You never realize how much you love something until you don't have it. Anyway, it's nice to see everybody's stuff again, though I still haven't gotten through everything yet ^^; Also, thanks to those who liked and commented on my artwork and all too. I really appreciate it!

Can I get opinions?

So I've been working on a picture for my husband's birthday, and this is the rough outline of what I have so far. I wanted to do something different and kind of epic this time around, and this is what I came up with. Opinions so far? I'd love to get some feedback. This is just the outline draft right now. I need to do shading and all and add some more maybe, so anything is fine. And yes, when it's all done, I will post it here too Thanks everybody!

Just little old me :)

So just for the fun of it, I thought I'd share ten little things about me. Don't know if anyone's interested, but at least you all can get to know me a bit better

1. I've been an anime fan for as long as I can remember, and two of my favorites growing up were Voltron and Sailor Moon. I also loved the movie Galaxy Express 999.

2. I'm married, and have slowly gotten my husband into some animes. He also likes to draw like me and has his art on drawhive with me.

3. I have two children that are five years and nine days apart (still don't know how that one happened).

4. I love writing and have written to date 8 books with two more in the works. Seven of my books are published on amazon.com.

5. I came from the city, but I'm married to a country boy and currently live on his family farm. Love it here too

6. I dream of my characters being well known someday and maybe seeing them brought to life in a movie or anime.

7. My first anime crush was Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho.

8. My favorite animes are Kuroshitsuji, Yu Yu Hakusho, Fullmetal Alchemist (original and brotherhood), and Junjou Romantica. I like many, many others though, so this is only the top of the list

9. I came to the O looking for a wallpaper community for my favorite animes, then got hooked on making them and doing the fanart.

10. Aside from anime, my favorite things to watch are horror and thriller movies, especially Asian films :)

So there's a little bit of variety in my tiny list. Hope you all enjoyed getting to know a bit more about me, even though it's not that much...

Are You Kidding?

Okay, so this is kind of a rant, but I have good reason to say something, because I think that it was totally unfair to this person's page.

Ruby and Sapphire

For all of us who like Steven Universe and watch it (which I'm sure there are a bunch of us here), I'm sure you guys know about Ruby and Sapphire now being joined forever being Garnet. Well, while I was on FB, I found a wonderful fan page for Sapphire, and I joined it because I like the character design and I personally think that it's a sweet story that two would want to be together forever with undying love for each other. But being on this page, I've seen where this poor person has gotten a lot of hate over it because people don't like that relationship.

Seriously now, are people that picky that they'd pick apart a kid's show over such a thing? Most kids don't even notice it I'm sure. At least, my kids didn't and don't care. What bothers me is that this girl has actually been told that she needs to take down her page just because people don't like her having a fan page for such a character, even though the page is very, very clean and just fandom. She's stated herself that it hurts to have haters like that because she suffers from depression and these characters (including all from Steven Universe) and anime are things that really help lift her spirits.

Honestly, and this is just my personal opinion, I feel like that's completely unfair to anyone. You can like what you like, and if someone doesn't like it, then they don't have to look at it. I've seen things that I really thought shouldn't be on FB, and they show up in my newsfeed from time to time from, of all things, book sharing groups. I've had to block some of these groups from my news feed for covers of books shared by independent authors that show sexual things or nearly naked people because I don't want my daughter to end up seeing that, beings she's only eight. Now I agree that they can do their books however they want, but I need to be mindful of that for my children too. So of course this whole thing with Sapphire and Ruby being offensive is just plain silly to me. Okay, so the creators confirmed things with them, but seriously, kids don't care. They just love the characters and love Garnet, and me personally, I think it represents that when you love someone, then who they are or what they look like doesn't matter.

Okay, so that's my opinion, and hopefully I haven't offended anyone. I just found it terrible that anyone would want to tell someone to take a fan page down just because they feel like they're offended by cartoon characters. Thanks for reading!

BTW, here's the FB page that I'm talking about it you're interested in seeing it:
