The word "Make".

Who made  that damn word anyway?

"Make" room for your eevee character.
"Make" your own panda.
"Make" your own rabbits.
"Make" time.

I'm getting tired of that word.

“Make” in the toilet. 😆 Lol, but seriously, it is an irritating common cover-all word that shows how lazy our current form of English has become.  The same goes for the word “let” (other than the song “Let It Be”, which I can overlook given how great the song is in my opinion).

Anyways, for others who read the comment section, here are better words to use in place of the above “make” sentences...
“Clear some” room for your eevee character.
“Design” your own panda.
“Draw” your own rabbits.
“Set aside some” time.
“Shit” in the toilet.

These words are more specific and clearly convey the intent.  Now, the word “make” is often used in everyday language, and so while it’s irritating, it’s understandable most people don’t set a higher bar for themselves.  I can also understand if English is somebody’s second language and they need the word “make” to assist in learning English.  HOWEVER, if you’re writing prose (story or poetry) and English is your native tongue, the words “make” and “let” outside of quoting a character is just goddamn lazy writing.

And yes, I took Creative Writing in college.

I think he's just tired of people encouraging him to come up with his own characters and not rely so much on people trading characters. Especially since so far he's had crappy luck with that.

I don't think this really has anything to do with creative writing. '3'

Ah, now I see.  Well, I did invent my Jimbear character, but all other characters were either given to me, or I purchased the designs.  Maybe it’s considered lazy?  Who cares, lol.  I do what I want with the time allotted for art, which thanks to real life, isn’t as much as it was in previous years.

So, if other furs are pressuring them to “make their own character”, they can tell the other furs to bugger off in the simplest terms of, “You do you, boo.  I’ll do me.” xD

Well it's that he thinks he has to or there's just no other option.  Like there's no hope for him etc, etc. Which is why I keep saying if that's not possible you should create one rather than rely solely on character trades. Especially when chances are there's folks who don't want to give up their characters. For me personally though it's more fun and more free to make one rather than buy, but hey if that's what you want to do, you do you :>

I got tired of people using the word, this Eevee thing is getting to me.  People's telling me to keep the Eevee and make *insert character species name here* and one person on Skype told me to "Make" my own rabbits and when I told him I had my hands filled with trying to find my Eevee character a new home, they told me to "make" time to make new rabbits.

Is it really that hard though? is it really that bad to just come up with new characters? do you really have to desperately get rid of your eevee character?

I assume you're capable because you've done that in the past haven't you? aside from maybe occasionally adopting and trading, haven't you come up with some of the characters in your roster before?

She wouldn't of disappeared, just go to another person for a panda character or rabbit character.  The panda characters would expand upon the islands of the Pandaren Empire and the Rabbits would of expanded upon the Bunerean's home continent.

Well if you're so eager to get rid of her why not just change her species into a panda then?

Fine, I'll drop Universe 40.  I was trying to build that universe up.

*face palm* no one said you had to. ' - ' seriously you're making shit complicated.

It was main reason why I wanted to trade the Eevee because I was busy with Universe 40.  Plus a camera could do her job better and with no lies being told.

Then stop worrying about trading the eevee character in for the fricken moment. This is the last time I'm gonna have to explain this:

You DON'T have to trade in the eevee character right this damn minute, because honestly it's currently a pain for you right now to find anyone who's willing to give up a panda for her. That being said, your options are simple:
        
              A: Put her on the shelf

              B: Save it for later until then.
              
              C: Just out right create a panda character.


There is no reason to raise hell and start so many journals over this dude. Your situation isn't really so dire. But ya know what it's your roster so it's up to you what you wanna do. All I'm saying is, you don't have to start constantly making journals about it.

Happy Thanksgiving
