Introducing..The List!

Thanks to a suggestion made by Jason,I've decided to make a list of People and Organizations that are extremely hated by the ACF...An Enemies List,if you will. I simply call it,The List.

The Sarcastic Wit is Gone: The Death of Don Rickles

This just in!

Famed comedian, Don Rickles, who is known for his sarcastic wit towards other actors or political figures, has died due to kidney failure. He was 90 years old. Although a famed comedic actor since the 1950s, Rickles was also known as the voice of Mr. Potato Head from the Toy Story series, combining his wit to all the re-changable parts of Potato Head himself. I never knew much about his career, but if I ever get a Mr. Potato Head for either myself or if I had a child, I will always think of Don Rickles. Here's to you and to your sarcastic wit. Godspeed, with ever sense of the word.

Jason's Gallery - Killer Frost: Tragic Monster!

"Caitlin Snow is dead, only Killer Frost remains!"

Another emotional-driven made fanart, which combined my emotions with my fandom, which is the case of a character of The Flash, Caitlin Snow, who (due to Barry Allen screwing up history) broke all our hearts when she became the icy temptress, Killer Frost. But, enough of the short synopsis, let's get the heart of the matter, shall we?

"Monsters are tragic beings. They were born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy." - Ishirō Honda

With that in mind, here is another fanart that is a combination of my fandom, which is the case of The Flash, but also based on my emotions, which is the case of me dwelling in the crossroads when it comes to friendship as a whole. Let me explain as I talk about this fanart and the motivations behind it, starting with this question.

What does Killer Frost, Mr. Freeze and Godzilla have in common? They are all tragic monsters, which is especially the case in point with Caitlin Snow, who as of last week, has died before our very own eyes and rising from her frozen ashes lies Killer Frost herself, without any emotion and feeling of Caitlin whatsoever. Ever since last year, around the Thanksgiving holiday, after seeing the Killer Frost episode, I haven't been the same, especially knowing that Killer Frost's appearance and spilling the beans about Barry's meddling in the Space/Time Continuum and its dire consequences, especially causing the death of Cisco's brother, Dante, which almost ended his friendship with Barry when he decided to threaten him with physical violence. Since then, I have started questioning the concept of friendship as a whole, to the point that I wrote a fan letter to Cisco Ramon himself, Carlos Valdes, asking him the question that has been plaguing me since that time, Is friendship truly dead?

I waited and waited and waited for so long and still got no response. And what this got to do with Killer Frost, you ask? For the remainder of season 3, I was hoping that Caitlin Snow, as good-hearted and strong as she is, tried her best to control her darkside (there's that word again) and just like myself, everyone has a darkside, even Caitlin. But, after being stabbed by Abra Kadabra, and saved by Julian Albert, only to end up in cardiac arrest, thus removing that snowflake pendant (which prevents her darkside from coming out), no point of delaying the inevitable cause just like with Eddie Brock with Venom, Caitlin Snow is dead and only Killer Frost remains. And judging by her pairing up with Mirror Master in the next episode, she is going to commit death and destruction in her wake.

In short, other than Barry and Cisco's nearly ended, Caitlin Snow's rebirth into Killer Frost breaks my heart even further, especially what I am going through in the past few months or so, especially recently with the reminiscing of the bad part of my past where bullies used Kamen Rider to torment me . Losing Caitlin like that is like losing your best friend who is a true study buddy and one of the few people who can solve a Rubik's Cube better than me.

And even with me posting this fanart and posting so much hashtags on it on social media, no one will not notice the emotion I put in this drawing, not even the cast of the Flash, including Danielle Panabaker.

Bottom line, even if I did send my fan letter to Carlos Valdes, he won't responded. My question is already answered. And with Caitlin's death and Killer Frost's rebirth, it only cemented my answer, because in this crazy and cruel world, whether it's in the Arrowverse or in the world of Equestria, fictional or otherwise, bought or broken, one thing is certain in this day of age, friendship is truly dead. I know she is fictional, but it still hurts that one of your favorite characters (who could be your dearest friend) becomes your worst enemy.

Sorry I have wasted your time. I just wanted to tell you what I am going through. I just hope you all forgive me, especially Danielle Panabaker herself. 

Jason's Gallery - Anime Jason's Dark Side!

Everyone has a dark side, even Anime Jason.

This drawing represents two things:

1. It represents the fact that everyone, even the pure-hearted, has a dark side. Our inner demons that dwell inside of us. The same demons that we try to fight. If we don't overcome them, they will overtake our lives and destroy us from within, especially me. Since I got so much problems that I am dealing with, I got a lot of demons to overcome. And...

2. Presenting the living embodiment of those inner demons that I am fighting against. My animated self's dark, psychotic doppelganger, known as Anti-Jason.

When I do another drawing of this character, I will give more info on him. Until then, tell me in the comments about your inner struggle. Until then, stay frosty.

Discovery Family...YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!!

That's right, Toonsters!

The latest list from TheWrap.com has come and this one my peak your interest. This is the list of Top 20 Least Watched Cable Channels. And what's this has to do with subject at hand, you ask? Discovery Family, the channel that has so much hatred since Tirek Schleiff killed off the Hub, is on that list. If Chris Jericho was doing the List of Jericho (Sign me up, MAN!!), he would put that to his list for being boring and tasteless to those who like both nostalgia and every thing modern. If you want to see the whole list, go to the link below. But, as long as DF is one the list, it means one important fact: Discovery Family's days are numbered and the ponies of Equestria will finally be free. So, in short, say with me people:

Discovery Family...YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!!

Jason's Gallery - Kamen Rider Black RX

"I am the Child of the Sun, the protector of all living things, Kamen Rider...Black...R...X!!"

As we recall, when I did my Sailor Moon Retrospective, when I was talking about the part about the promo of the old English dub, I slightly ranted about one of my darkest parts of my childhood after I mentioned the part about Tuxedo Mask being called The Masked Tuxedo, which was a slight nod to Kamen Rider/Masked Rider. But Stefan removed that part when he edited it, stating that part was not a part of the story or retrospective. But now, I will tell you in full detail of my dark part of my past while describing this fanart I made. I know I will give you full details on my ordeal. But until then, without further ado, here is the short abridged version, along with the motivation behind this fanart.

(Taken from Deviantart)

Presenting my fanart of the last of the Showa Kamen Riders, Kamen Rider Black RX. And I got significant reasons for this drawing and it's a personal one. It all began in the mid 1990s. I never even heard of Kamen Rider until I read an article on Gamepro on a review on a FMV game on the Sega CD, which had clips from the Kamen Rider movie, Kamen Rider ZO. It was not until around 1995, the same year Ronin Warriors and Sailor Moon were released to the states, that I got a small taste of the creation of Shotaro Ishinomori, thanks to Power Rangers. I was one of the few lucky people who got to see the three parter (in the form of a backdoor pilot) before seeing the actual show, Saban's Masked Rider. Where Kotaro Minami was born on Earth and is both Black and Black RX, the Masked Rider was Prince Dex of Edenoi and his henshi phrase was completely different from Kotaro's. Anyway, Masked Rider was completely different from its source material, especially not only using clips from Black RX, but also from Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J. Where the Kamen Rider shows were dark and serious, Masked Rider was kid-friendly and tame. That and adding Ferbus was completely awkward, but that's another story.  For quite awhile, I have enjoyed the show, but something happened to me that has changed me, but for the worst. I had bad memories from the show, but it wasn't from the show itself. 

When I use to go to middle school in the Bronx, NY, the bullies over there used Masked Rider as an excuse to pick on me, just because I was smart and level-headed. They teased me mercilessly without end until somehow the staff and guidance counselors stopped them and reprimanded them. Even though I have graduated, the memories of the torment were long-buried...until now.

When I was looking up everything Kamen Rider related and seeing the differences between Kamen Rider Black RX and Masked Rider, I have come the conclusion that I have realized one fact. Those bullies didn't just humiliated me, they have also disgraced the name Kamen Rider and Tokusatsu in general, without knowing what either of them are. They think that Kamen Rider was a excuse to bully people around who were smart and level-headed like myself. That is not true, not at all. Bullies like them just don't have better things to do but use anything Tokusatsu to pick on the weak. And those same bullies, either they lamented their bullying past and turned their lives around or haven't changed at all and ended up in a life of crime. Either way, they should be a shame of themselves, disgracing Tokusatsu and Kamen Rider like that.

And in response, I drew this, not only to let my anger out, but also seeking redemption over the matter, besides meeting Jodi Benson.

I will seek redemption and see if those same bullies will one day come out of the woodwork and apologize to me for humiliating me and disgracing Kamen Rider. Until then, let this fanart serve as a reminder that Kamen Rider Black RX, like all the Kamen Riders before him and after, is a symbol of justice, not a tool for bullying and that's saying something.

HENSHIN!!

Jason's Gallery - Penny & Jade

My two favorite kid heroes, who are nieces of their respective characters (Inspector Gadget and Jackie Chan respectively). Both wily and clever, combining brains with brain. No wonder villains like Dr. Claw and Shendu always lose. If it wasn't for Penny and Jade, their respective uncles would not succeed against their enemies. So, fistbumps for all, especially with these two kid heroes, who should form a club for kid sidekicks that would put those of Teen Titans GO! to shame and that would be something.
