and before you know it, you are walking on air

Thank you all, my lovelies, for the b-day wishes! You are a basket of awesome and sparkles and I am so very grateful for having you around *squishes all of you* This has been the best birthday ever, no lie! I had a lovely dinner with a bunch of friends yesterday evening and we had all the laughs and tasty food (and delish sparkling wine at midnight :9) and then today there was an avalance of birthday wishes and my sister gave me her present and it's the Escaflowne boxset, I have been pining after it for years! And my parents got me a kindle omg brb downloading all of AO3 and some sent me v-gifts (of a "tied up Andrew Garfield who is slightly unattractive" and I know who you are, dear anon!) and then chaoticallyclev made me stupily adorable icons (say hi to my new default one! It's a wombat! That clutches at flowers like I clutch at feelings!) and angelgazing got me paid time and delires wrote me the most charming and precious ficlet and I almost feel guilty with the aumount of love I received today.... ILU ALL LIKE CRAZY! I wish I could teleport all over the places and offer you cake and hugs and kisses <3333


In news unrelated to my birthday, I went to see Hugo with my sister last week and I still have to come to terms with the fact that I cried like a baby for half of the movie (which is something that only ever happens with cartoons). I would fire you all for not telling me how beautiful this film is, but I'm too busy looking for the fandom at the moment... where is it?

Been listening to a lot of Fun. and Ed Sheran, been humming along all the while. I am in the middle of finishing up the last of the doodles from the Valentine Fest so expect them to pop up soon :) Also also! I just found out that apparently i_reversebang is going to run again this year! It's like the universe decided to hand me over all the good things today \o/


And now a meme from angelgazing because it's been a while :D

The iPod Shuffle Meme!
No, not that one. Let's be honest, when we need inspiration, the first place we go is our music library. So let's try something a little bit different. My music library is no help to me, but maybe it can be for someone else. Here's how this thing works:
1) Comment to this post, and I'll give you a prompt in the form of whatever song shuffles up next on whatever music player I've got going at the time.
2) Turn on the music player of your choice to shuffle, post this to your own journal and dole out prompts. No, you can't hide your shameful music. If it shuffles up, that's the gig.
3) Write/draw/whatever way you create for the prompt you've been given: post it. Again, no hiding the shame. Even if you think it's awful, post it.
4) Link your finished product to the prompt comment, because it's always lovely to see the results. ♥

*peeks in* Hello flist :)

I remember a time when I thought RL was just a myth D: I liked it better when I had time to do stuff other than working and stress over stupid RL stuff that I don't have to stress over :( In addition I feel like such a shitty flister, what with never leaving comments and forgetting to reply to emails /o\ I keep promising to do better but it looks to me like I'm failing to do so on every front. Why am I so faily? Ugh :(

Anyway, setting apart my faily self, there's this community you might want to check out: helpsomalia! I know there where people on my flist a couple of months ago who wanted to know if someone was going to set up a fandom auction to help fight the famine in the Horn of Africa. I'm not sure if I was just extremely distracted and completely missed the pimping of the comm or if it just flew under the radar but whatever, the offering posts are all still open so hop over there and take a look around? If you are interested, my thread is here.

And now a doodle! The lovely katie_andrew asked for a birthday doodle and prompted me with "Boys in Autumn" :)

( nothing says Autumn like skipping on fallen leaves )

Also also, a meme from my dear toodelicious :D

Comment to this entry and I'll give you a letter. List ten things, people, places, beings, thoughts, feelings, that you love that begin with that letter
and then post that list on your journal.

( She gave me the letter R :D )

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 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.

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 ♥

HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY hackthis!
I'm sorry I'm so late, but here is your birthday doodle!
( Boooored )


Also, if you don't already know, angelgazing is hosting The Multi-Fandom Cuddling Meme! Any fandom, all the fandoms! Go and join in the fun and write/draw some cuddling! You know you want to! Now excuse me, I have to go sketch a thousand silly cuddling situations :D

ETA so here is my first contribution: Game Over (Inception, Arthur/Eames).

Um. Today I was supposed to work on the stack of sketches I have accumulated since last week. I say supposed because what I actually did was take a stroll down the comment threads in the latest inception_kink post and blah blah blah you all already know how this story ends.

Title: Batman!Eames and Catwoman!Arthur
Fandom: Inception
Characters: Arthur + Eames
Rating: G
Notes: drawn for this prompt at inception_kink. Arthur wears the purple catsuit because I like that one best and also because I think he would totally show his support today :)

( nananananananana-batman! )

In other news, this is a fun meme (and I am a prompts hoarder, so go wild):

Out of utter curiosity, if I was chained up in your attic (I prefer attics, basements are damp and cold, attics theoretically at least have windows), and I had to write draw you one story picture, what would you request? (demand?) Or alternatively, what's something you always hoped I'd write draw but know is never going to happen?

It's time to post the aswer to the "Top 5" meme :D

angelgazing wanted to know my Top 5 OTPs:
( TINHATTING )


saba1789 wanted to know my Top 5 Brendon/Spencer moments:
( FAILBOATS )

and my Top 5 people to hug
( HUGS )


coreopsis wanted to know my Top 5 most difficult people to draw:
( ARGH )

and my Top 5 most fun people to draw
( :D )


squashbee wanted to know my Top 5 favourite foods:
( Omnomnom )

Well, that was fun. If you have other questions, please feel free to ask! I'll answer you in the comments, though, because I am lazy :P

Guys! Look what meme came back! :D

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request ~something~ of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. (Also, gimmie a prompt, please and thank you.)

In return, they have to post this in their journal. If you absolutely can't write, you can offer drawings or icons or something instead (meta? picspams? reasons why that character/pairing rocks/doesn't rock?).

ETA: Happy Birthday to trashcancore and ordinaryink! I wish you both the very best birthday ever!

Ok, I know I shouldn't be here but I missed you guys like crazy!

Flash news: I am tired and I need my days to be at least 36 hours long because I need more time to do everything I have to do. I'm super behind on posting on the doodle jar and also for my bandomvalentine assignment. I plan to catch up tomorrow morning.

In the meantime,


and also, here's a music meme from toodelicious (who tagged me last week! I'm sorry it took me so long!)

- pick a band/artist, and answer the questions using titles from their songs.
- tag 5 people from your friends list.
- everyone tagged has to do the same thing. You know the drill: you want to do it, you do it!

( 1000 Umbrellas! )



I feel completely out of the loop. Tell me about your exciting lives, flist!
