Description
The seventh of a series of comics I'm writing. I've learned a lot of things from my year on dA: various memes, styles and terminologies.This week, Lemons! Yeah... This happened a couple of weeks ago: (who is the person on the other side of the screen, btw) suggested I did a comic on "lemons". Now, I was only aware of one definition of lemons. The other that I was "enlightened" to was... interesting... ly vile. You'll find that particular definition on Urban Dictionary (where else?).
Sorry about the late upload guys, I was seriously stumped for ideas for a little while. So, any interesting little things you've picked up over the years of dA, feel free to shout them out... quietly
And for those who don't know, here is the definition of "lemon" that I am talking about: "Very intimate and descriptive x-rated stories about fictional couples written by crazed, perverted fangirls."

Cute, but I'd like to point this out, fangirls are not the only ones who make perverted stuff, especially in writing. Sometimes fanboys can be pretty silly with their fetishes too.

Oh my... Yes. Yes, they can be just as bad if not worse. You know how many doujins (fancomics if you don't know) are out there where video game or anime characters that are female get... well, abused in every way possible? Some of them can make these written fanfictions seem like pure gold in comparison, not all though. There are purely awful fics out there too.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, don't look it up. Really. Save your eyes and sanity, advice from one slightly sane fan to another.
I'm going to feel so guilty if I just told this to someone who happens to be pretty young...

I'm seventeen, going on eighteen very shortly, so you're alright
I was aware of the existence of such material, but it somehow never occurred to me that they were fan-made. Perhaps it was just the contrast between the ideals at play here :/

Fan-made, and not all of them follow the best morals either, if you get my drift. I suppose it goes to show both men and women are capable of being perverted. lol

Well, if anything I thought men would be worse for it :/

It depends on what you're looking at. Scientifically and genetically speaking, men are more stimulated by visual and women by written word and imagination, so it makes some sense to find the major in certain places. Women are gonna write some pretty adult things if they're inclined (myself included, I won't lie, though I try to keep it tame) and men draw a lot of those comics. So it really depends on where you go and how you look at it. Also, some fans are more... extreme than others in their tastes and expressing them.

I suppose I should point out that the only reason I feature fangirls in my comic rather than fanboys is because I base my comics on personal experience. I haven't actually ever met a "proper" fanboy, or at least not to the extent portrayed in my comics.

lol Of course, of course. Personally, I find your comics hilarious. Even though I'm pretty much a fangirl myself, yes, I enjoy the fics and yaoi and all that, I find it amusing the reactions of other fangirls who are seemingly obsessed. My motto is it's a hobby and nothing worth getting too worked up over at the end of the day. Plus, I've always enjoyed laughing at myself as well. So don't worry about any offense. I assure you, none is taken. XD

That was my favorite one
Did you know the average fart weighs 27 nanograms. When you sneeze all your vital bodily functions pause, including your heart? Did you know there are actually some parasites that kill their victims and then reanimate their victims' corpses.
Give me an hour I can destroy any person's will to continue doing something. Muahaha.

Yes. I was known in elementary school, "That weird Belgianese fact kid"
It was a hobby of mine to learn facts.
Some of those facts to my knowledge relate to events in Portal 2 such as:
"The SchrΓΆdinger's cat paradox outlines a situation in which a cat in a box must be considered, for all intents and purposes, simultaneously alive and dead. SchrΓΆdinger created this paradox as a justification for killing cats."
And:
"In Greek myth, Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humankind. The jewelry he kept for himself."
"The first person to prove that cow's milk is drinkable was very, very thirsty."

If can i thrown in my two cents - Urban Dic should be banned from existence ! I mean a friggin box, a flight of stairs and a drawer Have nothing in ... connection to what U D makes them be defined as... and that what ever thingie (because it's not a dictionary to me) ruins incredibly nice words who could be used as names and descriptions for things.
π: 0 β©: 1
It does rather seem like a place for irritable people with grudges against things to go and express their views along with the definition (which may or may not be warped). Bu it does occasionally help with some "choice" words
