I think the source of this rage has been found.
We have a role playing forum?
Can you believe it?! I already had a tantrum about its invisibility . . . thankfully, I learned what Mojo could not . . .
I did try to be nice to her . . . 'tis a shame, truly
This thread is no longer about Mojo. She hates the place, so I don’t think she’ll mind.
This thread is now about coloring books. Any other discussion will be regarded as off topic and spam. Warnings will be given out accordingly.
So who liked coloring books as a kid? I did. Did you try and stay in the lines, or were you all “FUCK YOU RULES! I DO AS I PLEASE!” Did you color the picture normally, or were you all “FUCK YOU RULES! I DO AS I PLEASE!” Did you do both?
I think how a kid colors a coloring book says a lot about a person. Take Hades, for example. I bet he colored outside of the lines AND in wrong colors not to do as he pleased but to make other people mad.
Bye.
EDIT: Damn it, 984 replied before I could. Well, I always liked coloring things in the wrong colors, like coloring apples blue. Oh yeah, I went CRAZAAAAAAY!
I tended to color within the lines . . . though sometimes I didn’t use the specified colors, however, I did use ones that COULD have worked, so technically, no fucking of the rules there
EDIT: In the spirit of the new purpose of this thread, I’ve deleted my ultra comeback at Simply_Mojo to talk more about coloring books!
Why did you close a perfectly good discussion about coloring books, SG?
Now, as I was saying to 984 before the other thread was so RUDELY closed:
I don’t know about your theory 984. I was a pretty obedient colorer. I didn’t always use the right color for the job, but that’s because I didn’t always have it. I did sometimes go outside the lines, but never on purpose; without the lines, coloring would be pointless, I thought. And so I stayed within them.
Maybe I still follow the lines, though. Maybe it’s just a different set of lines. A different picture, if you will.
Coloring’s for gay fags that have gay sex with other gay fags (in a homosexual manner).
So you might be coloring in the lines that are bleeding through from the other side of the page? You’re still coloring in the lines, but not everyone sees those lines or recognizes those lines as valid?
What I’m saying is, instead of coloring a picture of a teddy bear or something, maybe I’m coloring a jester.
p:unch:: or for girls! But . . . then . . . I didn’t color very much when I was younger, sorry dudes, points at The 984 and Hades I’ll let you two get it on in peace . . .
walks away whilst whistling
It wasn’t about coloring books by the time I closed it.
REOPENED FOR ALL!
Threads merged. We can’t have TWO threads about coloring books. That would just be absurd!
Interesting, Hades. Now, when you color a picture of a jester, do you still follow the regular bear picture and then add jester accoutrement to the picture? Like, you color the bear outlines then add the various trappings? Or do you color your own free-wheeling jester over the lines, creating an oppositional dichotomy between what society wants and what you want?
I was joking.
Anyway, to be serious- I never colored in the lines. In fact, they even had a parent teacher conference about it in Kindergarten, so my mother tells me. I have no idea why. But I never liked coloring because I wasn’t good at it. I tend to do that. <_<;
You have it all wrong 984! I no longer see the bear. I have a different page, with a different outline on it. And I follow that outline the same way everyone else follows the bear’s outline. But it creates a different picture nonetheless, because I was given a different page!
Sarcasm IS hard to convey in forums heh heh.
I didn’t like coloring books cause they restricted me. Such restrictions shouldn’t be placed on a childs broad and absorbant mind! I wanted to draw whatever I saw in my head . . . be it dragons, buildings or [STRIKE]prostitutes on a dark city curb[/STRIKE] kittens.
Interesting. You see beyond the page to a different page. However, if someone else looks at the page, they will see a jester scrawled over a teddy bear. Chaos. However, you can look beyond the Chaos to see Order. Truly post-modern.
The way you put it almost shows Hades in a deconstructionist light. The Derrida of coloring, Hades empowers the “lesser” half of the order/chaos dichotomy by showing that they are interrelated.
