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?

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 :)

*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 :)
