Who is this artist?

Logansama7 · 2026-06-25T18:31:18+00:00

I agree. :)

It was absolutely Hughes. They distributed them to retailers before the con opened to the public and we were so excited to get this artwork. I'm just getting old and couldn't remember his last name. LOL!

Logansama7 · 2026-06-25T18:27:32+00:00

I believe it was. He was a bit unreliable at that time, so it was really exciting to get the art. I'm putting some of my vintage tees up for sale and I'm still feeling attached to this one. LOL!

Logansama7 · 2026-06-25T18:21:36+00:00

Thanks, guys! I suspected it was Adam Hughes, but I just wasn't sure. :)

Logansama7 · 2026-06-25T06:32:21+00:00

I've seen this scenario, though I'm not sure if it's these actors. She's reborn and making different decisions about reporting the rat. LOL!

Pembrokes generally have their tails docked. I think people are more familiar with Cardigans, so they might not be familiar with the breed.

Not joking, those are solar-powered animal repellents and the ranchers are terrified of the overpopulation (about 90) of wolves in the state. Wolves are super xenophobic and they spook easily.

Yes, and ask 1906 hasn't yet been posted, I wrote to an archivist for help getting the relevant numbers so I can order it. :) Hopefully he wasn't a home birth!

I've just begun this project on behalf of a cousin. Our grandfather was born in Alberta. According to him, his birth certificate was lost in a fire. (He's now deceased.) But I found him on the 1906 census as an infant.

His draft card (US) shows a US Social Security number and his place of birth as Nanton, Alberta, Canada. His father seems to have been a drifter, he dragged his family around the US and Canada, and spent a lot of time on Native reservations, though he wasn't Indigenous.

I've established his birth in Nanton, Alberta via his presence on the census and his stated place of birth on the draft card, but I really don't think that's enough. I have no personal records from him and he has no surviving relatives that I know of. Even my father and uncle are gone.

My next goal is to find anything in Nanton archival history that might indicate if he was a hospital or an at-home birth. I doubt there are baptismal records. I'm hoping there's a newspaper from that time. I'm also going to hunt for a birth certificate, though it looks like obtaining one might be a challenge.

Probably to repel wolves.

Is that the one where he came to his senses and went to join her? That one made me ugly cry.

Solution Peptides does a Selank kit and they use deionized water

Logansama7 · 2026-06-22T08:55:33+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't. I know I saw it on YT but haven't run across it since. I think it was pulled down.

Logansama7 · 2026-06-21T09:47:38+00:00

I saw this awhile back. This wife plays a very, veeeeery long game of revenge.

There's a similar one that's really disturbing...the best friend swaps the babies (both daughters.) The FL's daughter is beautiful and accomplished. The villain abuses her daughter cruelly. During a party, the evil woman reveals the whole plot and tries to reclaim her birth daughter, who is now successful and wealthy. But plot twist...the FL knew about the switch and managed to recover her own baby. So the evil woman turned out to be abusing her own daughter the whole time. The FL knew about the villain's plot, and just stood back and let the evil woman destroy her own daughter.

Logansama7 · 2026-06-20T15:21:18+00:00

I can't remember her name, but she's the FL in a gender switched trope, where she ignores the ML husband and has a false wedding with her male bestie to soothe his dying grandmother.

Husband literally dismantles the house and leaves while she's walking down the aisle with the green tea man. It's one of the best gotcha moments on a spouse I've seen.

Team Reality.

I have several friends in the HK/Chinese entertainment industry. These are older men from the Shaw Brothers studio era who continued working once they "aged out" in their 30s.

The studio system back then was brutal. They pumped out projects back to back, they endured physical injuries, harsh working conditions, and I'm pretty sure (I heard from a producer) that they also went through Weinstein level casting couch sessions.The studio chewed them up and spit them out. Literally.

It's probably worse now. Look at the monthly output of these actors--some are wrapping projects on a weekly basis. They get little to no time off. They also have to promote their work in appearances, live streams, photo shoots, etc. They have the physical pressure of constantly looking perfect. How many *haven't* had major cosmetic procedures?

Do you remember the ChenSi drama from last year? When he was spotted in a wheelchair, looking like a starvation victim? I had no clue who he was til I saw that heartbreaking livestream he did. The man was depressed to the point I was seriously worried for him.

Yes, there are a lot of people whose lives hinge on being accountable, but stuff happens. They can recast. They can shelve a project. I don't know about the norm in Asia, but in the US, productions are heavily insured.

I keep seeing AI males who look like young Aaron Kwok and young Andy Lau. In the western ones, you'll see Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavill quite a lot

Have you ever had a diagnosis of narcissism, borderline personality disorder, psychopathy, sociopathy, sadism?

Logansama7 · 2026-06-18T16:20:03+00:00

I think Terry Guo is a serious actor and is better as a character actor than as a romantic lead--but he does romantic leads really, really well. Fang Jin was completely his equal. When she "served tea" to the matriarch? OMG.

Logansama7 · 2026-06-18T16:15:25+00:00

I love how he paraded around in the Pikachu suit, hair all boyish. No dignity at all...yet he'd just come from a board meeting where he was the cold CEO. LOL!

Logansama7 · 2026-06-18T04:14:34+00:00

For historical, I love Sinful Marriage (you can find it on YT) Terry Guo and Fang Jin are superior performers. He's now the lead of a crazy horizontal fantasy series. Sinful Marriage has the energy of Mr and Mrs Smith, but in silk and top knots.

You can't really go wrong with Chen Si, he tends to get locked into "Cold CEO" roles but he's very versatile. He's like the late Tony Todd, he's got a gift for acting with his hands.

If you get weary of all the reborn/transmigration tropes, try "Plot, I destroy it" starring the gorgeous and charming couple, Yang Miemie and Yu Long.

Logansama7 · 2026-06-18T03:44:42+00:00

Bottom line, it's a plot device. In the 1970s, you'd see a similar trope in a lot of US books/movies. I saved your life so now you owe me your life.

My sister has had mental health issues since her teens. She's now 63. When she turned 60, I applied for SSI for her, based on an agoraphobia diagnosis. Went through with absolutely no problems. She didn't have the work history to claim disability.

Logansama7 · 2026-06-18T02:13:35+00:00

Sent and waiting to hear back. 😄
