I've been thinking about it and maybe we've all been a bit too straightlaced about fanservice in Magic. I mean, it's a legitimate artistic subject, so shouldn't we embrace it?

I think what really turned me around on the subject was this picture:

Spoiler: Show


Now, hasn't your perception of the Scars of Mirrodin storyline been greatly enriched?

Keeper, I'm very tempted to just bomb your email with links to a particular artist that you've told me you hate, not because she's a bad artist, but apparently because you think she's a bad person.

Food for thought.

I... Actually, I suppose it depends on how it is being used. If it is being used to display actual methods of seduction/distraction, then I'm all for it. If it just means drawing the next Chandra card as a Monroe homage simply because she's "so hot, she causes updrafts!" then someone needs to be smacked.

I should probably mention, since it apparently wasn't clear from the sexy Karn painting, that this thread was not meant to be serious.

I'm just so boooooooooored and everything is so deeeeeeeeead and even posting sexy Karn paintings apparently doesn't get a reaction.

The threats... [sigh]

Darling, the threats just aren't the same anymore.

I just... I just want to recapture the magic of the first time you sent me that Tezzeret and Bolas fanfic.

And so people say to me, "How do I know if a word is real?" You know, anyone who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it! That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an artificial distinction; it doesn't make the word any more real than any other word. If you love a word, it becomes real.

It seems like the hatemance has gone out of this relationship.
Have you tried experimenting with new kinds of rancorous bile?
