Adoptables

1 min read
I've been thinking about Adoptables a lot recently, y'know, adoptable characters, that you can buy or trade from other people, and I find it a little disturbing how very little it takes for someone to call something a character.

I have a character, a Star Wars OC who I adopted from someone else - this person posted in the forums a little contest, and the winner would get the character. I figured, 'sure, why not?' so I won the contest, and I discovered that the character consisted entirely of. . . a name.

No picture, no story, no bio, or description. A name. And that was an adoptable character.

This seems to be an extreme case, but I have other adoptables who, before I got them, consisted of a picture. Again, no name, no description, no bio, a plain, black-and-white lineart picture. I'm sure I am not typical of people who get adoptables, and it could very well be that my experience is nothing like that of most people, but it is a valid experience.

Rain

The rain came early this year: at 6 o'clock this morning, in fact.

For those of you just tuning in, I am Israeli; I live in the Gaza periphery, app. 8 Kilometers from the city of Gaza.

And we are being shot at again.

Baruch Hashem, my village has not been hit, but Sderot, where my sister and my brother and my sister-in-law live, has been hit. They're okay, Baruch Hashem, but still. . .

An just because I'm a little sensitive to people saying its our fault people are trying to kill us, I'll write this:

We have made no assassination, no raids into Gaza, we have enacted no new laws or launched any program against the terrorists, we did nothing, okay? Things were just humming along as quiet as things get around here until early today when someone over in Gaza said 'hey, it's too quiet; let's kill Jews!'

And once again, like always, they are not attacking our soldiers, our bases, our police stations, they are attacking our cities, our civilian population centers: they are targeting our unarmed civilians.

I've decided I'm a-gonna keep this account for personal stuff, J-B-Hickock for my writings, and FanaticalPublishing for my publishing.
