HAPPY BIRTHDAY toodelicious!

May it be full of cake and hugs and people who love you!





Before I forget... thank you bunches for the kisses! :D I've been away at work and then busy with uni stuff and I completely failed at being a decent flister (who is surprised? /o\) I'll try to make it up to you with a couple of random doodles
Sorry for the low quality. My dad has been using the scanner at all hours, I had to resort to camera pics :\


Um. So I was bored at work and I kept thinking about this Kushiel!AU and so this came out. One day I'll grow a pair and draw it properly... omg! Nakedness! What have I done?!


I have been messing around with cardboard again! Did I ever tell you about my love/hate relationship with Cardboard? I love it, but working on it is a pain. But I love the texture. I believe I once bored Nic to tears talking about how I love/hate working on cardboard...


If you follow me on twitter you've already seen this. Also, I'll come out and just say it: Mark is a joy to draw. If I could, I'd draw doodles of his unimpressed face and sheepdog curls all over the places.



Day #37894889292 of me being in love with steampunk failboats. Carry on.


and some recs! :D?

This WWF video is gorgeous! Everybody should watch it!

Deathly Hallow is almost here! My sister and I have been flapping our hands at each other for a week solid and we keep looking at each other and getting choked up. Our childhood ç___ç
Anyway, Tumblr is bursting with HP graphics and I stumbled upon this one and it made me remember that while I was an HD shipper through and through, I also loved loved LOVED Harry/Luna. My very most favourite H/L fics ever: Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast and The Wonky Dating Lexicon. Read them, enjoy them, love them! (and if you have HP recs to share GIMME ALL OF THEM!)

laria_gwyn has been reccing me stuff to read at work like a fairy reccing godmother and every single one of them has been a joy ♥ This week the award for Most Brilliant Rec goes to Under the Table and Dreaming (ToyStory, Andy/Sid) and its sequel To the Dogs or Whoever.

'Sup, flist? ♥

My sister just called to sort out dinner plans for Thursday night and I almost lost it on the phone! ;_____;

My sister and I are going on Wednesday afternoon. Everytime I think about it I tear up ;_____;

THE STEAMPUNK ART IS SO MUCH WIN <3

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you bb ♥ So is your icon, btw *___*

[lemniciate.livejournal.com]

omg ALL THE ART. SO ADORABLE.

I've got that Toy Story fic open in a tab! I've never even considered reading fic for TS... :O

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darling :D

Ah, neither had I! But everyone on my twitter feed was talking about some TS fic and so I asked Laria about it and she sent me the link. It is amazing! For me, it feels a bit like reading Calvin&Hobbes future!fic :) Delicious!

[aproposnothing.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, cardboard. Like you said, the texture is fantastic. The pressing-too-hard-and-poking-holes-in-your-work-surface is not :/

I'm not sure who Mark is but I lol-ed so very hard at his adorable, tangible irritation XD

Steampunkkkkkkk. I am absolutely fascinated by Steampunk subculture. FASCINATED.

I am so torn about the Harry Potter movie coming out next week for, you see, it comes out on my sister's 18th birthday and, though I did think about it, I simply cannot ditch her on the one day of the year that is (in our family) irrevocably hers. And she kinda-sorta maybe hates Harry Potter ... just a little bit. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT EITHER, OKAY?! ... T^T

I EXPECT LOTS OF SQUEE FROM YOU TO TIE ME OVER UNTIL I CAN SEE IT ON THE 16TH.

Ummm I just realized my H/D bookmarks are kind of lacking but if you haven't read Obsession by jitter_bug yet then I think you should. Draco is a bit more fandom than I usually like him but it's still a very good read. Very hot. Very funny. Lots of sexual tension ;D

:D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Oh god I hate when that happens >:| The worst thing, though, is when you try to use watercolour pencils on it. Cardboard, why must you absorb all the water?

Ahaha, it's Mark Zuckerberg from TSN. I am now in ten thousand fandoms I have no time for *bangs head on desk*

Isn't it awesome? I am completely smitten with it! :D I wish every fandom had a Steampunk!AU and that it wasn't such a subculture! There needs to be more steampunk around!

DDD: Oh my! Why does she hate it? I guess her birthday is more important than HP and it's not like it will have a short run in the theatre, you can catch it later :)
OMG THERE WILL BE SO MUCH SQUEE! SO MUCH! Though, I think there will be a lot of desperate wailing too and I'll probably put up a post for PostDH support (so we can all cling to each other and cry bitter tears of despair over our childhood fictional friends' adventure coming to an end *sobs and sobs and sobs*).

Ahh, Obsession :D *rereads* I feel like someone should organize some sort of HP Festival where people can go and be "remember this fic..." and "Remember that meta..." and "Remember that fanart..."

My dad (who avoids movie theaters like the plague) is actually planning to see this. like, the night it comes out. what even? I think he's gone to...three movies in the theater during my lifetime. two of them have been harry potter. even though he so doesn't get it. He read the whole book series over a summer of business trips, he had to borrow my copy of the seventh book and read it at home. then he immediately came into my room and went: 'wait, I don't understand. What just happened?" because the explanation of magic isn't enough for him. Also, he was sure that Harry and Hermione were going to end up together.

um, right. sorry about the dad/harry potter rambling. What I intended to say was: OMG, FAILBOAT STEAMPUNKS IN LOVE!! And your mark doodle is still so amazing. I approve any plans of random mark doodles forever. And I haven't read the thing about the other one, but it's still pretty. so. yes.

...you are the second person on my flist talking about this toy story fic.... why is there a conspiracy to make me read it?

HARRY/LUNA!!! I support that pairing fully. Would have made so much more sense to me than what actually happened. also, luna is one of my favorite characters if not my actual favorite character. I adored Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast. ahven't read the other one I don't think. Um...recs... my whole harry/luna stash is this:
Someday you'll get your happy ending
anniversary
handmates for certain
Let the Sun Inside
Three Interviews

and then for a H/D one that had lead to many ridiculous jokes in my circle of friends because they all read it: Freudian Slip

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Ahahah, my mum did the same thing! Except she read the books as they came out, but still once she finished each one she'd come to us asking for explanations because "it doesn't make sense!". Also, she never read DH because by the time that one came out she was obsessed with Eragon :|

Mark doodles forever and everrrr \o/ I actually want to figure out how to draw Dustin and Chris so we can have FB fab 4 cuddlepile :) You have to read that one! It's Kushiel!AU! How can you not?!

OMG GO READ IT NOW IT'S THE BEST FIC EVERRRR! I was totally skeptical at first because like, Toy Story fic? What even? But I gave it a chance and three sencences in I was hooked! To me, it feel a bit like reading Calvin&Hobbes future fic, except it's different because the TS movies were about the toys and here you get to see what happens to Andy. It's truly brilliant.

Adfghjklkjkhgfdfshfjhgkhl recs *_______* Harry/Luna made so much more sense than any other pairing, really (except for H/D :P) I was so disappointed that he ended up with Ginny :\ Not that Ginny isn't awesome, she totally is, but I always thought she and Harry didn't suit each other much.
OMG JENNAVERE'S MY QUEEN! I USED TO READ HER STORIES OVER AND OVER AGAIN! She's also the first person I've ever drawn fanart for :)

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAAY! You posted Kushiel!AU Wardo! :DDD So proud of you, bb! <333

I still love your Mark on the cardboard (I had no idea cardboard had the potential for love/hate :D) and OMG, steampunk failboats! And the birthday doodle! *_______________*

ALL THE HEARTS FOR YOU!!! ♥

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Shhhhhhhhh! It's a secret! I didn't link it to anyone! I am a lily-livered bunny!

*twirls you* Cardboard is like that boy/girl in your class you have a giant crush on but who is also an asshole of epic proportions.

NO, ALL FOR YOU! <33333333333

[elefante-locura.livejournal.com]

Seeing your drawings makes me smile. ADORABLE FACTOR x a gazillion. =D Even when I am not familiar with the fandom. =D

GAH I love Mark chewing on his hoodie string. =D Unimpressed face = HAHA. Brilliant. Sheepdog curls? Bahaha. =D

*gasp* Deathly Hallow! I'm going to watch that in Gold Class with my friend next week, I'm so excited!!! =D OhmyGOSH, I *love* Harry/Luna!! They're my second favourite ship, after Draco/Hermione. I shall check out the recs! I adores you. Haha.

On a side note, you can totally share those drawings on LJ! :D I'm more than happy with that; TSN-love to share all around! =D

Wassup? :D How you doin'? :D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Ahahahah, thank you bb! <333

He has the most delightful hair! Curls FTW!

I never could ship Draco with anyone other than Harry, that's how tinhatty I was. Harry, on the other hand, was a free for all shipping buffet, but I loved him best when paired up with Draco or Luna. Their dynamic made much more sense to me than any other fanon or canon ship :)

Yay! I'll make a post soon, then :D

I am doodling silly stuff with the TSN soundtrack playing low in the background :D It makes for awesome doodling music <3

[laria-gwyn.livejournal.com]

I want you to keep drawing Mark's unimpressed face forever! Too cute! Love the steampunk pic, darling.

I can't believe the movie's almost here. ;_; It's too soon! I'M NOT READY! XD But I kind of want it now...

Ooh. Yeah, I could get behind Harry/Luna (especially in the movies). Thanks for the recs, bb! ♥

I love that fic so much. So much. ♥

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Thank you my dear! More TSN drawings coming soon (like, either tonight or tomorrow... resizing is tedious, yo!)

I AM NOT READY! NOT READY AT ALL! ç_____ç *clings to the books*

I've always thought they made much more sense as a couple than any other possible canon pairing! They are MFEO!

Me too! Me too! I want more!

[sunsetmog.livejournal.com]

That Toy Story fic is AMAZING. As are your faily steampunk failboats, omg. <3333333

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

SO AMAZING! I was so wary about it and then BAM! Instant love!

...guess who's getting that piece of cardboard in the mail? ;)

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY BB! :D You're so very welcome, dear! <33333333

[burnishedvictory]

That second picture is gorgeous. I'd love to see the full version if you draw it properly. :) (I just read the story and loved it, and now I like the picture even more. Thanks for the rec!) I also love Mark's unimpressed face and his hair. ♥

Do you have any Harry/Draco recs? I'm on a HP kick right now.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I'd lovelovelove to draw it properly but. But. Anatomy. What is anatomy? *tears hair out* I'm so happy you like them, btw, and isn't that fic a joy? I would read so many more words of that 'verse <3

Mmm... let me check my delicious....

Bolero (http://www.notquiteroyal.net/topgallant/fics/bolero.html): Draco attempts to make up for Hogwarts' appalling lack of musical studies by teaching Harry what Ravel was really about, proving in the process that teenage boys are incapable of thinking about anything but sex.

Keeper (http://serpentinelion.livejournal.com/29746.html): AU. Non-magical boarding school, lots of fighting and football and mud and scabby knees. And rum and dope and smoking behind the bike sheds and sex in the showers.

Look Closer (http://cherryflavour.livejournal.com/1391.html): Upon first glance, there is nothing about Draco Malfoy that you would consider out of the ordinary from an acceptable distance.

Untitled (http://rurounihime.livejournal.com/6963.html): Draco Malfoy has an ultimatum. If only that prat Potter will let him give it.

Anything wrote by jennavere (http://archive.skyehawke.com/authors.php?no=1007). She's awesome.

Also, everything lovely_slyth has ever written! She is my very favourite H/D author <3 Her fics are under lock, but if you leave a comment on the sticky post asking to be added she'll do it right away :)

And if you need more, here's the Directory of Harry/Draco Reclists (http://gossymer.livejournal.com/20570.html) :D

I missed seeing your (virtual?) face in my F-List. I hope rl is treating you well and I am letting you know that I am a horrible friend because I always forget to write you an email and I just remembered I never finished your birthday drawing. (Wow, that was a really long run-on sentence.) Therefore, you are allowed to hold me at gunpoint. /o\

The offer still stands, though. I hope to be able to get two drawings done in time come next birthday. Do you still want the Chekov!puppy drawing? If not (and it's okay if you don't!), I'll surprise you with two random doodles. :D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

*tackleglomps* BB! WHERE WERE YOU? *never lets you go* Dude, I am a horrible friend, too! I keep meaning to check the flist or poke you on tumblr and then I forget to do both /o\ Let's ditch the guns and weave flower necklaces instead, yeah?

BB there's no rush :D Take your time :) And yes, I still want a Checov!puppy drawing to pin on my wall :3 Though, if you want to send me random doodles you won't hear a single word of discouragement from me :3

[whitedatura.livejournal.com]

Sooo a little bird pointed me in this direction and omg! Adept!Eduardo! His marque! I cannot even form words! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

*flails* Omg! Hi! Um. So, I was totally going to keep this one secret because I wanted to draw it better, because I love your story so freaking much (I actually read it again just yesterday for the 20th time or something) and it deserves way better art than this quick doodle, but I am extremely pleased that you like it as it is anyway :D
