The 5 Things Meme: the Drawing Version

So.... Let's start this rambling post saying that I love memes of the "5 times/things" variety an unhealthy amount. I like reading the prompts and I enjoy even more reading what the authors come up with. The only let down is that I can't ever partecipate to those because writing fails me (even more when it's in a language that is not my own). But.
A couple of days ago [livejournal.com profile] milenaa asked for 5 times/things prompts and earlier she posted the response to mine (you might want to click on the link, read it, be jealous that she wrote it for me and then save it in your memories. Sorry for the smugness, but it totally deserves it). Anyway, I told her about my love for this kind of meme and that I wanted someone to invent a 5 things meme for people who can't write worth beans but are quite capable with pencils. She went all "Duh! You just did!". So, to thank her for her awesomeness at writing (and making me realize the obvious) I drew the response to her prompt.
Therefore, I hereby present you the first ever (at least to my knowledge; if you know if someone has to be credited for the idea, let me know) 5 Things Meme: The Drawing Version.
[livejournal.com profile] milenaa's request was : 5 Things Brendon threw at Ryan.
I don't think there need to be a warning, but just to be safe: there's a hint at a slash pairing that is so veiled I don't believe you'll catch it so...

1. plectrum

2. confetti

3. garter

4. cake

5. rice

I had so much fun doing this that I decided to follow [livejournal.com profile] milenaa's advice and give this thing a try, so...
Give me prompts? I'm in Bandom, Harry Potter, Disney and Merlin fandoms so you'll have to ask for something from those realms and, please, keep in mind that this is an art meme, so don't prompt me with, say, "the 5 aspects of Andy's personality that Patrick can't stand" because I wouldn't even know where to bash my head. Ask for something "drawable" (I don't care if that is not even a word).
Other than that, go wild! Spread the word and tell your friends about it. I'm a friendly person so you don't have be on my flist to prompt me. :)

Omg awesome idea. I approve so hard.
What are five things arthur hides before merlin shows up to clean in the mornings?
(I'll draw something for you in return :D )

Awesome prompt! I'll go sketch it right now!

OMG, THIS IS AMAZING! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
I love this so hard. So many things I never could have come up with! That last one

♥_____♥

OMG I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT!
At first I wasn't sure they were ok, and I didn't know if I wanted them to be hurty or silly... and then I drew the first four and when it came to the fifth I didn't know if what I chose was ok. I really wanted to do something that could compare to what you wrote for me...
I'm so so happy that you love it!:D

Also, I have to let people know about this thing because I had loads of fun doing yours... do you know where one should go to pimp these memes?

I have an epic love for schmoop, number five was absolutely perfect! Hurty is good too, but happy endings are always better :D

IDK, you could try asking the newsletter to link to your post? Or maybe see if it'd be ok to post on [livejournal.com profile] bandom_art?

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-06 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I asked the newsletter, but apparently they don't do memes.
What I really want to know is... why I am not a member of that community?! It flew under the radar! Also, you're a genius!

Happy Endings FTW!

This may have been obvious but he threw the rice at him because it was a wedding, right? everything is wedding related except the 1st one.

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-06 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes yes! And I didn't even notice they they were all wedding related... My art eludes me, apparently.

And... this may sound creepy, but are you the one who draw those fantastic portraits of the panic boys? Your name seems familiar...

[identity profile] samelastdream.livejournal.com 2009-01-06 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
eeep! yes that was me. or else i am taking credit for some one elses drawings, ahha. http://heidirebecca.deviantart.com/ yeah if you mean the ones in my gallery there, then yes that is me.

the plectrum could be wedding related too, because someone could have played in the band at the wedding. i liked this meme, i'd do one if i wasn't such a procrastinator haha

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-06 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep! It's you! (I'm kind of gaping right now because usually I'm awful at remembering names)
Do you mind if I add you to my watchlist on DA? I kinda like your art a lot....

[identity profile] samelastdream.livejournal.com 2009-01-06 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
go right ahead!
i've been stalking your LJ, wow you tattooed your mum, that is so nuts haha. i just told my mum about that and she goes "don't even think about it..." hahaha. you're really good at tattooing.

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-06 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!
Also... Ahah! Are you telling me? I was so friggin' nervous! I was practicing on pigskin, she came up behind me, looked at what I was doing and then said "Oh, nice! You're doing me in 5 minutes." and then turned on her heels waving her hand. Most surreal moment ever. trufax.

[identity profile] samelastdream.livejournal.com 2009-01-06 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
lol, parents eh. my sister wanted her bellybutton pierced when she was 16 and so my mum went with her and got hers done too, and then tried to bully me into getting mine done as well. i was like "NO I DON'T WANT IT PIERCED UNLESS IM UNCONSCIOUS".

that pigskin freaks me out haha.

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-06 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Pigskin is evil! It freaked me out a lot because it's dead skin that is soft to the touch, but also cold! And it smells really strange.
Oh God! Piercings are something I don't get... If we are born we a certain amount of holes, there must be a reason, right?

I came here from bandom_solstice!

Do you draw anything Spencer?

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-07 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hi!
Uhm... sure! Spencer's my favorite after Brendon.

[identity profile] shdwcat.livejournal.com 2009-01-08 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
5 things that have been on spencer's left foot!

would you prompt me also? i used to be in hp too, and am (obviously!) in bandom now. bandom_solstice was my first ever delurking, and drawing for an internet audience is actually surprisingly fun. i'm addicteddd.

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-08 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
What a prompt! Now this is a challenge!

Sure! let's see..... 5 things Draco is shamed of possessing.

I'm thinking of participating in bandom_solstice next year, but I haven't decided yet...

Oh wow, these are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing them! :D

Hm, let me see if I can come up with a prompt - how about 5 things Spencer always has to has with him while on tour?
Of course I don't even know if you're still doing this so feel free to tell me if I'm too late :) .

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-11 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi! Thank you for swinging by and leaving a comment!
You're not too late! It might take me a while to complete it because lectures start again this week, but I'll do it! :)

Hey, sorry for randomly stalking you in someone else's lj but OMG that's totally the prompt I wanted to ask for if I hadn't gotten one already! :DDD

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-11 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, aren't you lucky? :)

Oh, stalk away, bb! :D And yay for the GMTA going on here!

[identity profile] saba1789.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! I'm very much looking forward to it but no hurry, ok? :)

Also, totally going ahead and friending you since I've seen you around over at Milena's journal and you seem pretty cool. Hope you don't mind.

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mind at all, in fact I friended you back!:)

I'm already thinking of possible 5-things... Apparently, Spencer is not my friend because he really just doesn't cooperate with me for this meme thingy (the one regarding his left foot was a struggle too)... But don't worry! I'll beat him into submission!
