ACTUALLY THAT’S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION AS WELL. Just like bunnies and carrots. They don’t really like it more than any other food. And mice actually kinda hate cheese even. Rats are more neutral towards it.
Aww. I think we have pretty good cheese. Not all of it of course. But, you know, there's bad brands and such everywhere. 'American' Cheese, the slice stuff calling itself that, is legitimately pretty bad though. For some reason it works on sandwiches- but that's it. Still, I think we've got decent cheddar, swiss, colby-jack, provolone, mozzarella, and parmesan available in most places. Maybe try various brands or a nice deli?
Oh yeh, I know! There’s some pretty good cheese over here, but it will never come close to stuff from back home for me personally. I prefer italian Parmesan and Mozzarella, but the American brands are pretty good as well! Same for Brie, nothing beats the real deal, but some American brands are very good. I do like American Provolone a lot, though! And Colby-Jack is nice. Sadly not a big fan of Cheddar, and that stuff is everywhere. :( “Cheese flavor” seems to be synonymous with Cheddar, haha. I don’t think I’ve ever tried a high quality brand of Cheddar tho, so my perception is probably warped in that regard.
Fun fact, what you guys call “Swiss cheese” is actually only one (and in my eyes not even the best, by far) of several hugely popular varieties of cheeses from Switzerland. If you ever get the chance, try Gruyere! It’s my absolute favorite cheese from Switzerland. Safeway/Vons stocks real imported Gruyere, sadly it’s criminally expensive.
Also secret cheese pro tip lifehack: Try combining cheese with jam. It’s super tasty!
Anyways, time for sleep! Night guys, it was fun talking about random stuff with you. I hope I didn’t annoy anyone.
Have you ever had American chocolate? Like Hershey's milk chocolate?
I don’t remember if I ever specifically had Hershey’s. I’m not supposed to eat sugar, so I try to stay away. I do remember having some Reese’s and other american chocolate products, tho!
They didn’t quite taste like what we had back home. But I see some imported Swiss and German (theirs is good too!) chocolate brands in grocery stores here in the US all the time! Lindt is pretty nice. Or Milka. In my opinion as someone who doesn’t really eat sweets!
Also the cheese here is mostly a sad excuse for fermented milk :( And real imported Swiss or Italian cheese costs an arm and a leg. But otherwise food is pretty amazing here in the US. Love the variety and all the different cuisines. So many options!
Well they’re both Swedish and mercy primarily speaks german(from what people tell me). Did you happen to run into Riens VA? See who does a better impression xP
Mercy is Swiss. Switzerland and Sweden aren’t the same thing, even tho it seems to be a very common misconception for some reason!
Switzerland is small, located south of Germany, has a big white plus on a red square as a flag, is famous for their neutrality. For cheese, chocolate, clocks. Ricola and Toblerone. Also snow and the Alps and CERN. Also bank accounts. Swiss people speak either German, Italian, French or Retoromanic.
Sweden is big, north of Europe, has a yellow cross on a blue flag, famous for Ikea, ABBA, Volvo and socialist policies. Also hot blonde women. They speak Swedish.
The more you know!
Now I feel stupid =_=
Haha, don’t worry. Like I said, it’s a super common misconception sadly. The more people that are educated the better!
I would love to know where the misconception comes from, tho. I always wondered.

Torb is Swedish, completely different language and different part of the world. :P I guess I kinda sound like Mercy or Reinhardt just with a stronger accent?
Back home from my very first SDCC! It was absolutely amazing and super exhausting!
I met the mane six cast (minus Tabitha) and talked a tiny bit with Ashleigh. She didn’t remember me of course, but she commented on my accent and aaah, she’s awesome. <3
Also randomly ran into Robert Picardo and shook his hand! Loved the EMH in Voyager and he was super nice. Got a bunch of great merch, lots of free stuff and bought some nice art as well.
A super gorgeous D.Va print was one of them and also an adorable Applejack.
I’ll take some pic of my office soon, once I finish hanging up all the new art! I also attended some panels, I’m super excited for a lot of new shows and games now! And I met some of my favorite webcomic artists.
I don’t think I’ve ever walked that much (my phone says 50 miles) while simultaneously somehow spending most of my time in a line for something!
Anyways, I just wanted to give a quick update! If you follow me on Twitter, you saw all my fangasming over the con already. I’m back drawing again now, I’ll try to stream tomorrow at around noon as well as on Friday to catch up on missed time! As usual, I’m almost done with a bunch of art and can hopefully post some stuff very soon.
Also I didn’t log in to tumblr once during those past 7 days, if I missed something awesome, please let me know!
Aaaaah, someone auto-bought the piece. I’m completely overwhelmed by the support and how fast and big those bids came in. Thank you so much! I’m so humbled to see people think my art is worth spending money on. It means so much to me. Thank you!
If I have an idea for a hot picture like this again, I’ll probably make another YCH auction like this. After I’m done with my current workload and got all of my personal ideas out! And next time I’ll deactivate the autobuy, so it’s fairer for everyone. To be honest, I didn’t think anyone would autobuy that!
Anyways, thanks everyone for the interest, you’ll be able to see the finished piece soon! And sorry if you were interested but couldn’t get it.
Pokémon Go is insane! I was hanging out in a park with about a 100 other people in the middle of the night, catching Pokémon. At one point someone yelled “There’s a Scythor here!” and everyone came running towards it. It was amazing!
Also there are so many players everywhere. Drop a lure at a Pokestop and within minutes a small group of people gathered!
It’s a lot of fun and the community is great, it’s awesome to meet so many people who are caught in the same craziness.
Also, go team Valor!
(New art is coming really soon, I promise! I’m hoping tomorrow. I’m so sorry for being slow.)
Sadly I couldn’t make it to Bronycon myself, but if you’re there, AphexAngel’s Table (#508) is selling a bunch of my buttons and 2 of my prints! Go check it out!
4th of July is always kinda special to me, because yesterday has been the third anniversary of my move to the States. It has been an absolutely amazing time thus far. Big thanks to all of you for supporting my art and liking what I draw!
I have a bunch of almost done art ready to show you guys in the next few days! Stay tuned and thanks for being patient. I’m sorry I haven’t been posting much art lately, I’ve been working on multiple projects simultaneously! So progress has been a bit slower than usual.
Anyways! I hope you guys have a great day and enjoy some tasty food, American or not!
Hey Rat. I'm trying to prove a point to a friend of mine. Do you still have that first clop picture you drew? The one that looks like it's on a post-it note and drawn in pencil? If you do could you share it with me so I can show it to him?
My very first (digital) clop pictures were either one of those following two, they’re both dated for February 11th 2012!
Anonymous fanart I drew for @haiku-oezu! Rainbow Dash cosplaying as the OC Honey Dip!
I wish I still knew the context of this, I think it had something to do with a conversation on Skype. But it’s definitely something I never posted publicly before.
And I’m pretty sure this here was my very first explicit picture I colored:
I would argue the urethra could conceivably only have one functioning pathway. If you have two, the urine would still find the path of least resistance. Also, due to how the anatomy is positioned, it’d always end up going through the female anatomy. You can look at the urethra yourself in an anatomical drawing, and see that in male anatomy it’d kind of “go around” due to the genitals but not so with females. Females are more a “straight shot”, you see.
Oh that makes sense! Awesome, so I chose the right exit point. Even tho some people now think her balls are somehow leaking pee. Because that makes more sense than that it’s coming out of her urethra below the balls.
Now that would be an interestingly weird fetish, pee filled balls.
Well, technically you still choose the wrong position, since the female urethra is under the clitoris, not above it. (in reference to her position on her back)
The clitoris is supposed to be all the way under the hanging balls!
I think the confusion mostly comes because the urethra isn't shown. That's because the balls are hanging down and squishing it and the labia together to hide the urethra beneath them. But there is still some sort of defined stream to the pee, despite the hole having been more or less completely squished or closed. I think the confusion would be avoided if the pee was even more just a dribble and spray instead of a solid stream, more than you did. Pooling largely on her tail instead of beyond it.
I can see that! I should’ve probably made more random spraying in every direction. Thank you!
The idea was that the stream was hitting the underside of the balls pretty hard, creating a whole bunch of other streams “reflecting” from the original point of impact, but there’s still one “main” stream forming with enough force to be defined enough! If that makes sense? The urethra isn’t squished or completely closed off, there’s some room for the initial stream to form until it hits the underside of the balls where the splitting then occurs.
Like if you put your hand against a hose, a lot of the water will stay defined together and create a sort of reflected stream in a new direction, while the rest will just spray in every direction.

It’s coming out of her urethra, the balls are just blocking the way, hence the whole spraying out under them part.
The discussion if the pee should come out of the urethra in the vagina or in the penis was an interesting one. I still wonder how that would work if futa (so two completely working sets of genitals) were real. Maybe the pee would come out of both urethrae simultaneously?
are you allowed to sell adult stuff there? (or is that why it’s leftover?)
Babscon only allows non-adult stuff! But some great people of the /mlp/ room party offered their room to a bunch of smut artists. So we were able to sell our adult stuff for an hour before the actual room party started. Which was pretty awesome! Afaik Trotcon is the only con with an official After Dark vendor hall. And I hope a lot more pony cons will follow their lead!
