BBB art + recs + rl babble

Two post in three days and I feel like I'm spamming you all with my nonsense, but bear with me, please, I have awesome recs for you!

The second wave of [livejournal.com profile] bandombigbang is in full swinging and yesterday the story I drew fanart for went up! Don't Drink the Water by [personal profile] cloudlessclimes is an amazing story about Spencer the grumpy fish scientist (yes! Now you know what all my fish-related drawing woes were about!) and his wading the waters of life as a researcher towards happiness. This story's so lovely and I reccomend everyone to click on the link and go check it out.

Remeber that icon meme I did a few days ago? Well, [livejournal.com profile] sarahyyy wanted to play and I asked her to tell me about her Tangled icon and she said something about wanting to write tangled fic but never getting around to do it and so I said "WRITE IT NOW!" and what d'you know, she did! In Love for a While, run don't walk!

In case you were not aware, [livejournal.com profile] thesocialbbang has been showering my friend page in sparkly joy for a couple of days. I've been bookmarking everything because free time hasn't been on the menu this past week, but I managed to read one the other day: Draw Me A Map by [livejournal.com profile] fairy_tale_echo. I keep going back to it so I thought I'd rec it here (and then we can spazz all together about the sheer brilliance that is correspondence!fic, Y/Y/MFY?)


In Real Life news, my old medications weren't working anymore so I had to change them with something stronger :/ I'm not particularly fond of this new one, but it seems to be doing its job so far... If I suddenly start spewing stupid(er) crap around here, I'm blaming it. Also, to cheer myself up, I bought a mammoth book of fairytales. The best thing about it is that among the usual ones, it also features classic fairytales written by women :) I don't know when I'll have the time to read them all, but it's something nice to look forward to, no?

I dunno how I managed to miss that TSN BB but I totally did so yay new fic for me to read tonight!!! Have you read [livejournal.com profile] fledmusic's TSN BB? SO GOOD OMG. <333

I seriously need to catch up on BBB. I obviously suck at juggling fandoms. /o\

Also hihi iluu. ♥

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, which one is it? I'm going to try and check it out tonight :)

Oh god, I have too many fandoms to juggle but I refuse to drop even one because they all bring me joy :3

Hi bb hi! Ilu 2 <33333

You're not spamming at all. Your posts always make me smile. You bring happiness on my screen! <3333333

Yay fairytales. :D

Eh, it's just that usually I don't post more than once a week, if that, but lately I've been posting almost daily. I don't know why, but it feel a bit like throwing balled up paper sheets towards the waste basket but they never get in, they just litter the place...

Fairytales FTW! \o/

[identity profile] squashbee.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Your BBB art is <3!

Nooo, medications. )': But but, big big book of fairy tales! Yay! :D

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yours are too, omg! I'm heading to bed soon, but I'm going to leave you all the falily comments tomorrow :D

They are kind of tricky because I have to take them on an empty stomach and then I have to wait 30 minutes before I can eat, but not longer because otherwise I'll start feeling faint. Ugh /o\ BUT BUT! FAIRYTALES MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER :D

Poor bb! Medications are stupid like that. :( +hugs+

I've been out of town for 3 days, Nas, I feel SO BEHIND on everything! Esp TSNBB! D: D: D:

re: RL: so sorry to hear that, darling. *hugs* I hope there aren't too many side effects? Fairytales! <33333

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Ohh, where have you been? Bb, I was home and still failed to keep up with all the awesome things /o\

So far the only side effect is that I get a slight headache in the evening, but that could just be chalked up to the weird weather of the last few days so who knows...

Fairytales! I am pondering the idea of making an (insertfairytale)!AU fandom doodle for each of them :3 Watch me aim high and miss.

I was in the mountains. :) Our church has a retreat each year during Labor Day weekend. This time was esp restful for me bc I was away from my computer the entire time and I even took a super long nap on Sun afternoon. :D

\o/\o/\o/ You totally should! It would be so epic!!! If you have ideas, email them to me and I'll flail all over them and wave pom poms!

Speaking of email...oh man, I totally owe you a ninja!AU email don't I? /o\ So sorry, darling. >_

Eeee! Grumpy scientist! :D I will check that out.

I hope these new meds work out. <3

That book looks awesome! xx

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
Do it! It is a truly enjoyable read :D

*crosses fingers* <333

It is! I couldn't resist and leafed through it yesterday. The illustrations are so niiice :3

[identity profile] wethepainted.livejournal.com 2011-09-09 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
Your post make my days brighter and brighter, darling! I'm wearing sunglasses over here.

Fish scientist Spencer! I've mostly been ignoring bbb, other than keeping an eye out for your art and it doesn't disappoint! His hand and the big fish in the background and I can't even tell you how much I love the light.

Also, what is this I see about (insertfairytale)!AU fandom doodles? *bounces on her seat*

And in RL-related: I hope the new meds work out better for you :)

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
*shines like a Spencer Smith's smile*

I am so very behind on all things fandom, is quite embarrassing /o\ You are too kind bb <3333333

Shhhhh! Omg! I should be doing Responsible!Adult stuff and instead I am here, making cooing noises over this book... Also, I am still waiting for someone to write me the Donkeyskin!AU *grumbles*

<333 I am still unsure if they are truly better than the old ones, but so far they seem to be working fine :)
