The recent fandom wank induced D: and I don't want to think about it because then I'll go around with a frowny face and I hate frowny faces (mine or someone else's) so I won't talk about it except to just say that it makes my heart sad (like this: /♥\ )

So, my third (and final) piece of art for BBB got posted a couple of days ago. It's for the story Dreaming of Manhattan and you can find it here. Jon/Spencer is not my favourite pairing, but this story was really nice and drawing for it was easy. Once again, I'm more happy about something inconsequential like the dishcloths than anything else. I fail.

(Speaking of BBB, There are so many beautiful stories and I have so little time that I've kind of fallen behind. Good thing that Summer has just begun.)

Oh, hey. Check out

milenaa's beautiful art inspired by Nearly Witches (she warns for gore!)

Also, I've yet to read the story, but the fanart

wethepainted did for Like Yellow Does On Blue is up. Go look at it and leave her nice feedback :)

I'm starting to think that I may have signed up for too many bigbang thingies (

bandgirlsbang,

boxofmagic and I've been meaning to sign up for

bigbangitalia). The good thing is that they aren't too close to one another, so I should have enough time to work on them and give them the time they deserve.

At the moment I'm working on some fabric painting. One of my sister's friends commissioned me 3 t-shirt (one of which must be like the "free your mind" one with all the tentacles I did way back). He came up to me and said "My cat is crazy. She eats all my bedsheets and t-shirts and uderwears. I swear to you, my wardrobe is practically empty. I need you to make me some tees again. Oh, by the way, hi! How are you?" Logical, right? If only he hadn't a girlfried already...

Anyway, WASP (ahahah We Are So Purring has a cool acronym!) is kind of laying there, looking at me as if to say "So, what are you going to do with me?" and I've been meaning to go back to it and at least write a bit more, but cat!Ryan is not co-operating. To get my head into cat-mode I doodled some Merlin!Cats (I thought that a fandom change might be good) because

toodelicious asked me to some time ago. I'm going to post them tomorrow (maybe).
Anyway, ask me something about WASP? Maybe writing snippets will help me to get into writing mode...

We are so purring ♥ ♥ ♥

I have nothing of importance to say, other than that. KITTIES.

KITTIES! They own my heart... except for Ryan. Ryan is a little pest who won't let himself be written. Bad Kitty!

Write more about Brendon and Spencer's epic kitty love for each other! sleepy snuggly naps in the sun! Okay, mostly I am of a one track mind. /o\

Ahahah, "one track mind" is totally understandable when it come to kitties :D

So, Spencer takes his nap inside the house. The sofa is soft, the air is not too hot and there's a sunray that hits the sofa cushion just so. Or, well, he used to take his nap inside.
Since the Hydrangea Incident he's wary of leaving Brendon alone in the garden. Ryan is no help at all, way too busy trying to impress Jon to keep an eye out for Brendon, and Jon is a stray cat and is not always around. Spencer can't take the risk. It's almost Summer and the flowers in the garden are all blooming and yes, Brendon promised him he wouldn't eat things just because they're pretty anymore, but what if he accidentally swallow something? Or what if those mice Brendon talks to convince him to taste some of the doctored cheese the Old Beckett use to keep the rats out of his hen pen? So, that is why he's taken to lounge in the garden instead of taking his afternoon nap.
At first he just stayed on the flat stone just outside the kitchen backdoor, but he soon discovered that Brendon liked to run around and go on "adventures" behind the hedge and the bushes lining the backyard, which meant that Spencer had to relocate under the tree on the far side, where he's able to see pretty much anything.
Spencer knows that Brendon would prefer for Spencer to join him in his little adventures, but after the first couple of times Brendon asked and Spencer refused, he stopped trying to engage Spencer in his afternoon activities. Until now, that is.

"What are you doing?" Spencer doesn't get it. He came out of the kitchen like he's been doing for the past week and Brendon was brushing the grass covering Spencer's spot under the tree with a concentration that he's never seen him show.

"I'm brushing the grass" is Brendon answer.

Well, "I can see that. But. Why?"

Brendon's paws slow in their movements and he glance at Spencer "Well, I know you come out here to keep me company, and I know that you usually take your nap now. I noticed that you never lay down unless you're on the flat stone and I didn't know why and then I thought about it and it's because of your fur, right?" he looks at Spencer from behind his whiskers "You don't want to get things stuck in it because it's painful to tear out... so I thought I'd clean the patch of grass you use so you can lay down" he looks down and stops stroking the blades, now organized in a cross-hatching pattern.

Spencer doesn't know what to say. He figures he's better with actions anyway.

He brushes past Brendon, lays down on the carefully arranged grass and looks at Brendon. And then he swipes Brendon's paws out and makes him fall down next to himself.

"You must be tired. Take a nap with me."

Brendon purrs.

Maybe I should abandon the long-fic and just write drabbles....

Oh, I love this SO MUCH. KITTTTTTIES. ♥ ♥ ♥

BRUSHING THE GRASS. KITTY SNUGGLES. <33333

That's what I do! I just write lots of little bits that I like and then put them together and fill in the bits in between. I wholeheartedly approve of any and all snippets of WASP. :D

I have this mental picture of Brendon doing his best to take all the bits of dirt and tiny leaves out of the grass so Spencer won't have to spend hours cleaning his fur (nevermind that Brendon's fur will be a total mess) . I don't know, I'm a fan of silly little gestures like that.

Writing little bits sounds like a good plan! Thanks for the tip *hugs*

Speaking of BBB, There are so many beautiful stories and I have so little time that I've kind of fallen behind. Good thing that Summer has just begun.

Good lord, I agree with this statement so much. Every time I refresh the page, I just scroll down and stare at all the possibilities. I don't remember bigbang being this...crazy last year.

Also, your art is amazing. Really. I wish I could draw that well.

Lastly, kitties! I don't know what to ask you, exactly, but if you wish to ramble about kitties please feel free to =)

Right? Last year it was way more relaxed. I don't remember feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stories being posted. It's like an avalance of awesome and I don't think I can get out of its path...

Thank you :D Actually, I think that my artistic skills are still not up to what they used to be when I was still in art school, but it's getting better :)

Kitties: I love them to pieces, but getting their different voice right is way harder thanI thought /o\. Brendon and Spencer are easy-ish, but Ryan is kind of a little pest.

I need a bff ryan/spencer kitties now after I saw they tweets. We Are So Purring! WASP! It's a very very cool acronym indeed.

WASP!!!

Um... bff, bff.... let's see... Brendon had been living here for a 3 days when he managed to make friends with the stray cat Ryan's been pining for in no time. This is stressing Ryan out. He's been trying to impress Jon - it took Ryan two weeks to find out his name - for months now and Brendon just had to say "Hi, I'm Greta's new cat. Wanna be friend?". It is not fair. Ryan makes sure to tell Spencer on a daily basis. Spencer thinks that Ryan is an idiot. If he wanted to hang out wih Jon so much, he should have gone and striked up a conversation, like Brendon did. Except that Spencer is an idiot, too. He has nothing against Jon, but why would Brendon spend all his time with him? Doesn't Brendon like to spend time inside the house with Spencer and Ryan? He gets that stray cats have that roguish appeal, but house cats are cool too, right? Why is Brendon always talking about how "Jon did this" and "Jon said that" and "OMG Jon is so cool". Well, Spencer is cool too, okay? Spencer is a Persian. He's a Persian and he can play with a ball of yarn for hours without unraveling it. If Brendon didn't spend all his time running after Jon he would know how awesome Spencer is. Ryan thinks that Spencer is an idiot, too. That's why they are BFF.

:D

Because Spencer is a Purr-sian so he's totally cool :3
I love this so much.

Spencer is a purr-inducing Persian! He's the coolest Persian ever and it's just sad that Brendon doesn't get it. Ryan is of the opinion that if Spencer would just stop being so fierce, maybe Brendon wouldn't be so afraid of approaching him. Ryan has known Spencer since forever, and he knows that Spencer is actually a ball of fluff (Ryan still remembers what Spencer looked like when he was just a couple of weeks old, all round and fluffy and stubby-legged), but he also knows that the other kittens used to make fun of him and so he started this fierceness business to get them to leave him alone. Except that now it is proving to be counterproductive to Spencer's dreams of lazy snuggling sessions/yarn ball sharing/tongue bathing with Brendon. Also, if Brendon were busy doing all that with Spencer, Ryan could sweap in and impress Jon with his bendy tail.

Tongue bathing! \o/ Ryan should tell Spencer that plan! He and Spencer are BFFs, so Spencer will of course help him with that :3

He tried to, but Spencer is still denying his obvious crush on Brendon. Every time Ryan brings it up, Spencer glares at Ryan and jumps on the highest bookshelf - the bastard! He knows that Ryan has problem jumping even just on the sofa - and broods. From what Ryan gathered, Spencer thinks that a cute cat like Brendon would never go for a chubby, fluffy cat like Spencer. More to the point, Spencer is convinced that he made a bad first impression on Brendon because he wasn't awfully friendly when he firstly showed up. It'd be all a waste of energies and would end up with Spencer's pride - and heart - in pieces. Ryan has to come up with a plan.... as soon as he find his red lacy string....

Awww.. poor Ryan.
But Spencer! Chubby and fluffy is really really attractive for cats, duh!

Spencer is, of course, stupid. Just because he's the only persian around here doesn't mean that he's the fat cat! Plus, it's mostly the fur that makes him look bulky.

GUH. I want o squeeze a kitty now.

here, have a baby Spencer

That cute little face. *squishes*

SO cute, right? ♥

Very :'D
I wish I am half as cute as these kitties :3

I'm afraid there's nothing in this universe cuter that kitties

I'm afraid that you are so right :|

Yeah, well.... no need to be sad, tho.

LOOK AT THE PRETTY!

AW. brb to jumping into that heaven now

WASP! ♥
That is the best acronym ever!

Thank you for the rec :)

I'm soooo behind on reading big bangs too! It's kind of nice though because at my current rate I'm going to have enough reading material for months of lazy evenings :D

WASP \o/

I couldn't not rec it! It's awesome!

Oh god, I'm trying to read at least one every day, but sometimes I get distracted /o\ Never been so glad it's Summer tho :D

your third (and final) piece of art is marvellous♥
i wish i could draw as good as you!
*thumbs up*

aww can't wait to see my merlin!cats (:

*blushes* Thank you :) I still think there are lots of things I could have done better, but I'm glad you like it *hugs*

I'm working on them!! Don't despair!

WASP w00t! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

YOU SHOULD TELL ME MORE ABOUT RYAN'S ATTEMPTS TO IMPRESS JON :D? ~~and Brendon's attempts to woo Spencer~~

Well, pretty much Ryan is a total loser when it comes to make an impression on Jon, mostly because he thinks that the way to Jon purring heart is walking like an uptight showcat and flashing his lacy collars and waving his tail around. Of course Jon doesn't say anything because he enjoys watching Ryan embarass himself by slipping down from the windowsill :)

With Brendon, the problem is that he tries too hard, and so ends up in situation that make Spencer motherhen attidude act up. It's kind of cute <3

Awww!

Brendon: Look Spencer, I can make it to the other side!

Spencer: NO YOU IDIOT IT'S TOO FAR OMG

Brendon: *tries to jump a table to the couch but ends up FALLING ON HIS FACE*

Spencer: OMFG BRENDON YOU IDIOT!

XD and Ryan thinking that Jon would be impressed by his 'poise' haha, I can totally picture it! And Jon being amused by the entire situation lol
