and before you know it, you are walking on air

Hello my lovelies! And hello to the new people around here, too :D Um. I don't have an intro post... so, um, we can have an impromptu get-to-know-me Q&A? Just ask away, I promise not to bite :)

Sooo. BBB 2nd wave is about to start (how excited are we? A LOT! Also, if you follow me on twitter I apologize for all the wining I dumped on you while I was finishing my assignment :() Anyway, it looks like the Big Bangs gates have opened and it is now time to sign up for lots of other brilliant challenges :D bandgirlsbang (yay girls \:D/) is running again this year! I am extremely happy about it *cartwheels* inception_bang (woohoo!) is here again! If you had fun last time, you should definitely sign up again :D (I know I will!) and now, my darlings, please pay attention because we have a new entry! eagle_bigbang! I am most excited about this because this fandom needs all the longfics! ALL OF THEM! *urges you to sign up*


Speaking of fics, here's a rec for you all TSN peeps

Pangaea by princewardo
They have the island, the enclosures and labs and hotels and gift shops and all the little monetizing pieces that Eduardo bullied Mark into letting him get away with. They even have the first of the population: tiny baby stegosaurus that Dustin insists on carrying around and nursing to the point that even he, their so-called reptile specialist, has to admit they’re getting a little on the chubby side for three month old herbivores.

Mark has somehow managed to charm a trio of their velociraptors.

I must have read this story at least once a day for the past week and I still can't get enough of it. As the author says, this is practically dinosaurs kidfic. How can you resist the call? Spoiler: YOU CAN'T! Go click on the link, read the story, and then come back here to tell me that drawing Dustin riding a triceratops is a bad idea and I should desist at once!


Also, these past few days my flist has been swamped in delightful fic memes of all shapes and forms, but I haven't seen a single one for fanart :( so I decided to tweak this one! :D?

The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms you know I write doodle AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc) or another time period (Ancient Rome, Regency England, etc). I will then explain what story from that fandom I would AU in that era doodle something quick based on your choice.


Ion, I've spent all of Monday marathoning Ouran Host Club (and then getting scarred on FF.net D:) What anime should I obess over next, my dear flist?

Hello hello flist! :D *hugs you all* how is everyone?
I'm afraid I've managed to fall into the dreaded RL Black Hole these past two weeks, and everything can be summed up with work work work blah blah blah house got flooded blah blaa cleaning all the things blah out with uni friends blah blah blah more work blah blah. Exciting, yes? Right.

Anyway, in between all that blah blah blah I was able to cram some reading and browsing while manning the front desk and so I come bearing links and stuff for you :D

The lovely airgiodslv offered to write a bunch of one-year-after timestamp ficlets to celebrate Inception first anniversary and I asked one for the Kissing Meme Ficlet (because I want all the timestamps from that 'verse) and of course she wrote the most awesome timestamp ever and everyone should go read it and tell her how great she is! Oh, I also made a doodle for it! Just scroll down the thread :)

In more fandom art news, time has come to reveal what the fifth card I drew for ohohstarryeyed as part of my help_nz offer :D
It is a tiny illustration for her story Be on the Stars (all of you should check it out!) which she wrote for BBB, so that's why we had to wait a bit before making this one public :)

( Spoilerish doodle under the cut )


In case you're not aware, Bandom has a Golden Trio of its own! ohohstarryeyed, sunsetmog, and hermette have been writing the most delightful of hogwarts!AU chatfics! What are you doing still here? Off you go to read Roar and What are these feelings. Go go go!

Speaking of HP, MY SISTER IS THE BEST SISTER AND GOT ME A POTTERMORE ACCOUNT WHILE I WAS STRANDED IN A 10 HOURS LONG SHIFT AT WORK! I am DreamFeather124 :) what is your magical username?
(Also, Smunchkin just run into the room to tell me that "Fuuuuu! Ovid rocks! OMG Nas! He's a BAMF and Metamorphoses is going to give me effing nightmares :D!" So there, that's your book rec from Smunchkin)

Once your done reading all the things I linked above, you should watch this video! Dad practically sat me down to make me watch it and I can't tell you how much I loved it. (Did I ever tell you how much I adore TED? A whole lot!)

In TSN news, errandgrrl and I want fic of this video like burning. Universe, get on it!

Tumblr keeps being a source of pretty awesome stuff, like this fantastic playlist! I've been listening to it in loop for days now and I can't get enough of it <333 Also also, Beirut's new album, The Rip Tide, is amazing! Check it out!

Oh! I've seen everyone is pointing out what their usernames are on all the other places, which is pretty nice :) So, anyway, in case you were wondering I use this same username everywhere (meaning DW, Twitter, and Tumblr), so I'm pretty easy to find :)

And now excuse me, but I have flist page to go check <333

Title: Here
Fandom: TSN
Characters/Pairing: Mark/Eduardo
Rating: PG overall (c'mon, they are chibis!)
Notes: Drawn for the charming elefante_locura, who won my offer for helpthesouth. She gave me an incredible selection of prompts to work with and I was so enamoured with all of them that I suggested we turned the "one big fanart" into four smaller ones so that we could play with more of them. Of course, since elefante_locura is a darling, she said yes :D The main themes were "domesticity" and "being together and in love" (who told her my bulletproof kinks? I want to thank you!)
Many, many thanks to my Smunchkin for the beta and relentless hand holding.
Additional notes under the cut :)

( I need you here )

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY, photoclerk!!!
I wish you the very best birthday ever, bb! May it be full of delicious cake and pretty presents and all the love you deserve (which is a lot!) ♥

( come see your bday card! )

I also promised unaccompanied_g a doodle for missing her birthday! She asked for Tangled fluff :D

( Swing my hair back and forth )


In other news, I am super behind on everything! I keep meaning to do stuff and then something happens and my fannish plans get derailed :(
Anyway, assorted drive-by recs for you!

Thanks to ohohstarryeyed and her reccing ways I managed to read two BBB today: Cute Girls (Just Wanna Have Fun) and I'd Hate to See You Frown. Both really enjoyable! Check them out :)

This BBB fanart by undeny is gorgeous! The textures in this are so beautiful, you should all click on the link and leave the artist buckets of praises!

themostepotente wrote a bandom ficlet! Go read it now because it is lovely!

A truly gifted anonymous person wrote a fill for a "Hipster!Eduardo" prompt over at the TSNkinkmeme. When I say I want to wrap myself in this fic and never let it go I'm being extremely serious. To be honest, I want to print it and paste it into my notebook and then read it forever and ever.

Pixar released the first trailer for Brave. YOU COULDN'T BELIEVE THE HANDFLAPPING I'M DOING RIGHT NOW :DDD Everyone should watch it and then come here so we can flail together about how gorgeous Merida's hair is!


And now, a question for you, my dear flist: is there a "The Mentalist" fandom? If yes, where could I find all the words about Agent Cho being his amazing kickass self?

Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
List (and upload?) 05 songs you love that begin with that letter.
Post them to your journal with these instructions.

or you can just tell me your favourite song that start in I, since that's the letter that toodelicious gave me :)

o1. I'd Rather Dance With You - Kings of Convenience
o2. Is There a Ghost? - Band of Horses
o3. If You Like It or Not - The Brobecks
o4. Indestructible - Robyn
o5. Incantevole - Subsonica

C'mon guys! I need lovely music for doodling porpuses! You don't want me to listen to the same 20 songs over and over, do you?


In other news, I popped my tsn_kinkmeme cherry!

( Little Black Cloud )

Hello my lovelies! Here is a post of random things :)

First and formost... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO: spindlelimbs, delilah_lilith, xbeax, _princess_han_, jibrailis, unaccompanied_g, thatreevesgirl, gyzym and jocondite.
As you know, I usually draw personalised b-day cards for the birthday people on my flist... but this year RL got really demanding for a while /o\ To make it up to you, you all get to request a special doodle! (that I can mail to you, if you want! Just send me a PM with your snail mail address)


Now, Summer is practically here and you know what that means? It means that it's time to meet new people! The lovely hermette is hosting a fantabulous Multifandom Friending Meme! Go and have fun :D


Bandom people? HOW EXCITED ARE WE FOR BBB?! I know that I am bouncing around like a crazy ball :D I haven't had time to sit and enjoy the stories yet, but I did check out the art and, you guys, it is all so freaking good! You should all go see it and shower the artists with love :D


And here, have a meme!
Post a comment, and I will reply with one or two reasons why I think you're great. In return, you have to post this same meme on your blog and comment for other people.

Hello my dearests! here are the pictures from the picture meme I did a few days ago :D (if you missed it, just ask for whatever you want to see here and I'll post the picture in reply to your comment, okay?)

( Image heavy! )

And that is all.

A-hem.



Discuss!

I am very late to the party, but this meme popped up on my flist three times in the last week so whatever, I AM JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON WHILE IT IS SPEEDING TOWARDS THE SUNSET :D

Ask me to take pictures of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about -- it can be anything from my favorite shirt to my books or my home. Leave your request as a comment to this entry, I'll snap the pictures and post them in a post. That way, you get to know a little bit about my life.

Really guys, GO WILD! :D

Also also, HI FLIST HI! ILU ALL ♥

Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Rating: G
Notes: Drawn for i_reversebang. This is the first piece I completed for the challenge and if this picture came into existence it is all thanks to ohohstarryeyed, who suggested the idea of astronaut!Eames when I was uselessly flapping my hands and sobbing over my sketchbook and wandering the lands in search of ideas. You're a life saver! ♥
Many, many, many thanks and snuggle coupons go to my Smunchkin, who is a pro at spotting my faily perspectives ♥

Finally, a whole lots of love goes to sevenwindows for picking my drawing and writing Forever in All Directions. I was left completely speechless by the sheer brilliance of this story. I love every single word that makes it up and I will never thank sevenwindows enough for gifting my drawing with such a beautiful story. Please click on the link and go be amazed ♥♥♥
