Well, the sudden change in Bonnie I believe was the change in his art to attract more people to visit his website. I 'could' be wrong.

Anyway, as those of you might know, I... well... posted what some would say 'an attack' towards Noogy. In a sense, that was an attack, promoted by an anger fueled by several factors, one being how he changed from a friendly guy to something completely different. I admired Noogy and thought he was the greatest artist/animator I've ever seen. He's gotten that comment from others, I'm sure, which was what boosted confidence in himself.

In the end, he started his Elysium Tail video, which I've waited ever so eagerly for him to start. You should see my messages on ICQ, I'd bug him about it and ask what it was about. I am completely certain that he's told others about it, but not me.

It was at that point, I came to realize from a reply he made on a previous topic that I was just 'an individual fan'. I don't want to get into much detail, but I'm sure all of you expect nothing more than being a fan, and probably think I'm stupid for expecting more than that.... But to me, it hurt.

I was even feeling uneasy about 'Star Student', but even worse, I'm just a 'fan'. A bunch of stuff gathered together in my mind, creating arguments about the difference of events.

It was the beginning of Elysium Tail that Noogy had changed completely. It must be ironic that the one thing I waited for would be the turning of events that I had feared.

I snapped as soon as I felt like I was in a dead-end one night after a conversation with Cobra. I guess it was a combination of beserk and hopelessness mixed together. The outcome was that 'attack' post on Noogy's forum and his response just answered everything for me.

Even further, I argued with Spring and e-mailed Noogy. Spring agrees with Noogy that I should F off, and Noogy thinks I'm telling him he's not a Christian.

I can come up with a bunch of things from these arguments, but the clear point is that Noogy doesn't have much care for friends anymore, because Elysium Tail will earn him a million fans. All he cares about now is publicity.

But you gotta look at it two ways. 8/9 people will say I deserved to be told to F off. The other way to look at it is, if I was such a 'friend', why couldn't Noogy have just deleted the topic and send me an e-mail? All he did was proove my point thru his reply.

The answer is likely that the 8/9 people and what he said relates. Since 8/9 people agree, he's confident that what he says will be respected by all his 'fans', if not supported. I bet that if it was the same Noogy I knew several years ago, he wouldn't have responded that way.




Anyway, in conclusion, the whole topic isn't about art talent. You decide who you prefer.

*arms his BFG* Of course, you all know that the only option is Cobra, right?
