NEW BL/ind Dating Service

Journal Entry: Thu May 23, 2013, 12:54 PM


~Dracushit here again, with an exciting new offer. Our top looove scientists have developed a new dating formula to help those who are unlucky in love, like me. Check out me hitting on Kobra. Yeah, I know, how are we not dating already? He's a tough nut to crack. But thanks to the new Better Living Industries Dating Service, I've got someone to tide me over until Kobra realizes what's up. When I joined this program, they paired me with "your right hand." At first I thought "Hey, is this some kind of sick joke?" But it turns out that me and my right hand are perfect for each other. It never sasses me or lets me down, and it loves white gloves as much as I do. Thanks, BL/ind!

I know you must be thinking "Damn, how can I get a piece of this action?" Well, fortunately for you, BL/ind has decided to let Killjoys in on this. Just complete this quiz, post the answers here or note them to me, and send me (~Dracushit10 points. "Whaaat, a fee?" Yes, a fee, we're not going to match you up with the love of your life for free. This is serious stuff. Plus, the proceeds all go to #MCRdeviantClub for affiliating with BL/ind. No need to thank me.

When all of you have sent in your little applications, you'll get a message from me with the name of your true love (and I'll give you their responses, too, so you know it's meant to be.) If you slip in an extra 5 points, I just may be tempted to pair you up with ~FunGhoulio, regardless of your answers. In any case, you have to send in the 10 points to get your pairing. No points, no pairing. All that fan fiction you're planning on writing? Gone.

So are you ready to meet the love of your life? Here are the questions, specially formulated by BL/ind scientists for maximum loviness.

1. If you were a BL/ind pill, you would be:

    a. Room-Clearing Pill (turns your face blue; you lay down and pretend to be dead until unwelcome guests leave)
    b. Anti-Anxiety Pill (replaces frightening thoughts with an image of Korse skipping through a meadow of flowers)
c. "NOOO" Pill (when something traumatic happens, it deepens your voice so you can fall to your knees and scream "NOOOOOOO!")
d. Thug Life Pill (makes every sentence rhyme, as if you were rapping; has no effect on users who are too "white and nerdy")

2. You see [YOUR FAVORITE KILLJOY] trapped in a BL/ind Criminal Pod. Your reaction:

a. Bang your head against the glass until cracks form
b. Pull out a walkie-talkie and say "IT'S GO TIME." Five Killjoys, each holding three big guns, burst through the ceiling and are quickly apprehended by BL/ind staff
c. Cry
d. Ask him to "hook you up" with free medication

3. What is your favorite kind of music?

a. Beeps and blorps, with the occasional "twaaaaaang"
b. Elevator music
c. Smooth jazz
d. Incomprehensible screams

4. What is your ideal Battery City job?

a. Preschool teacher
b. Psychiatrist
c. Grafitti-cleaner
d. Old man who yells at children to get off his yard 

5. What are your plans for the future?

a. Build a happy life in the city
b. Usurp Dr. Death Defying and become new King of the DJs
c. Cry
d. Smoke Dracijuana and drive in circles around a cactus

We still have teachers! -TeamWork Project

Journal Entry: Fri May 24, 2013, 4:18 AM
There are too few students signed up for our TeamWork project yet, so I decided to make a journal to list all the open teacher-offers :la:

Sign up to be those teachers students in this journal :hug:


~Orima-Kazooie


"I'd like to teach principles of practical character (and other things) design, far as I can tell this is most useful for comics and video games but of course also anywhere you need to create something expressly to fulfill some sort of purpose.
Mostly I'm self-taught but I also took a course at one point. and I've been making little video game mockups for as long as I can remember so I've gotten some good ideas of what does and doesn't work as far as practicality.
Mostly theory's being taught here but I suppose you could check out my art anyways either here or at paperwasteland.tumblr.com.
Ideal form of contact would be IM via Skype and for the most part I can do this whenever; around 4 or 5 EST might be best for somebody who needs a solid schedule? It'll probably be hazy but I can easily enough do late nights/far-off timezones."


~WaterSeeress


"Hm I'll give this a try. I can teach about writing. We can work on flash fiction/short stories or I can help develop the beginning of a novel or a preexisting one that you're writing, really its up to you ^.^ I focus on darker work, and since I don't really put my writing on devianart here's a link if you want to see my own work.
(My stories names or dirty habits are the best examples of my writing) I don't particularly care how we chat, but you definitely need to have or make a gmail, just because googledocs are the best way I know to edit stories back and forth."


`phydeau


"I could teach some basic to intermediate editing of portraits in Photoshop (skin softening, blemish removal, teeth whitening - that sort of stuff). I don't do digital cosmetic surgery, so we won't be using the liquefy tool."

`Infinite-Heart


"I'd like to sign up! I don't even care if I'm a student or a teacher. If someone wants me to teach them a few things about CSS, I can!

*Mini-Drachin


"I'd sign up too.
I guess I can teach (amongst others) how to draw hair with pencil or coloured pencil.
And drawing humans (mostly female but male is fine too ;) (Wink))

I don't know if my english is good enough to explain everything very precise
my timezone is UTC+1h and I can't stay up all night (and friday is my free day so I'm not at home ;) (Wink))
At all if you want to be my student the time could be quite a problem Sweating a little... But I'll do my very best LOL"


100% of profits from Book of Pandora will for to Doctors Without Borders. Profit is all money gained from book purchases minus the printing and shipping costs.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971.

Today, MSF provides independent, impartial assistance in more than 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters. MSF provides independent, impartial assistance to those most in need. MSF also reserves the right to speak out to bring attention to neglected crises, challenge inadequacies or abuse of the aid system, and to advocate for improved medical treatments and protocols.

In 1999, MSF received the Nobel Peace Prize.
