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'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

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. >_
