Help Me, I'm Confused!!!
Hello World; This section is for all the confused ones out there who are confused by this site. Actually, its more like a faq (frequently asked questions) section, except I don't get any questions, so I'll make up my own! Mwahahahaa! (*Ahem*) Enough of my insane ranting, I'll try to address any possible common questions now....
- Argh! How is the name of "Baka" supposed to be funny?
For those of you who haven't watched Ranma 1/2, Baka means stupid. Dumb. Moron. Etc. Which is sad because I can imagine someone actually naming their kid in some foregin language BEFORE finding out what it means. Which leads me to comment - the Chinese character on her shirt also means stupid. It also amuses me because lots of people wear words with Chinese characters on it and don't know what they mean. People could seriously write ANYTHING and people would still wear it! But you should see what happens when Taiwanese T-shirt companies try writing in English.... Argh! I'm ranting again! Bad me! *slaps self on wrist*- Grrr! All the pictures are waaay to small, I can't read anything, whadda I do?
Ummm... when scanning and exporting all the piccies and whatnot, I tried to find the balance between too small to read and too large to be viewed on the Internet. The only suggestion I have is to change your screen resolution - I have 1024 x 768 and it appears fine... Now I'm not exactly very tech-savvy, so if anyone has a better idea, let me know...- Waah! Such and such links are broken, such and such takes too long to load, and such and such image doesn't work, and such and such...
Well, bite me then, see if I care! No, seriously, if there is a broken link or whatnot, let me know, I really hate broken links when I go to webpages, so DON'T JUST SIT THERE TELL ME!- Hsss! It takes too long for the next pages to be up, and I want more! More, I say!
Hisssss. Your mom.- Yargh! What are all these strange little things that keep appearing on people's heads in the manga?
For those of you who aren't as familiar with manga conventions... three things appear most frequently on manga people's heads. They are...
Vein pops usually make a "poik" sound (or at least I like to make them that way) and indicated ANGER. Lots of it.
Sweat drops can appear on the top of the head (as shown) or on the side of the face, the previous usually is for greater comic effect (I think, I'm no expert), and indicate anything from nervousness to disgust to being disturbed by something.
Instant Bandaids usually only exist for a few seconds... they appear when someone gets hurt (for comic effect). However, the artist has forgotten them by the next frame, and the poor Insta Bandaid is no more.
