So I was trying to get to sleep EARLY (midnight) since I had to wake up at the CRACK OF DAWN (7:30am) in order to meet Juliet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 8:45. They open at 9:30 and really, it's a good thing we got there when we did because by the time the line started moving it stretched down the block and doubled back a few times. Haha, if I felt left out and missing Otakon this past weekend, this line certainly made me feel like I was there for a little while.

Anyway, I was trying to get to sleep early, but really I should know better by now that I just can't. Instead I customized my screensaver and proceeded to take a few screencaps to make into a gif. (Yes, I'm we know I'm obsessed already, this is old news.)



And now for the few additional A Softer World Remixes I've done since I last posted. The last one was done for @15dozentimes; it's totally my favorite, and not it's not even one I'd ever have thought of/chosen to do myself. So yeah, pass any requests my way. These are fun and ridiculously easy to do with my somewhat limited skills. =D

some geekery, some half-naked drunken shenanigans, some molesting of innocent blow up deer... oh yeah, and angst (that's my fave). =D )


This is totally random, but I somehow naturally associate Avenged Sevenfold and Panic! At the Disco. This is really interesting because I was just recently thinking I should listen to more AX7 (while listening to P!ATD).... and then I realized that I did the same back in 2006 when I first heard them both.

I know it's just a pipe dream, but-- what I'd give for P!ATD's next album to have a harder sound. *__* (Jesus fuck, Spencer Smith would be even hotter and sweatier than he already is...?!)

Ahahahah, so this is what I did with a little of my free time. I've added them to my header, too, so I'm looking forward to randomly seeing them.

yeah, i kind of don't know what i was thinking with the second one, but it made sense at the time. it's sort of hilarious. BOYS. )

While I'm not normally a huge fan of A Softer World, I find the ASW remixes to be hilarious. Let me know if you've got a request or something. =D

You can also view them on tumblr:

Sooo.... my throat is all sorts of fucked up. You know that talking louder thing that happens when you get drunk? Well, I don't know if I was screaming or what, exactly, but I'm all squeaky and whispery when I talk. It's actually pretty hilarious as I keep forgetting and then suddenly laugh or try to say something to my roomie and it comes out silent for a second or two before my voice squeakily kicks in. SRS LOLZ PEOPLE.

Completely unrelatedly, Rian Johnson's tumblr for his new movie, Looper posted a pic of JGL, Noah Segan, and Lukas Haas!!! BRICK REUNION IN NOLA!!!! This made me all sorts of *flail* and happy because you guys may or may not know how much I love Brick!

on my tumblr:


...and now, for some AWESOME fanart (haha, not by me) )

Um, yeah. That's all I've got for now. I'm supposed to be posting my Sex Is Not the Enemy fic today, but I don't think I'll be able to until later. IT HAS BEEN GIVING ME ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE. =/

ETA: I just saw that [livejournal.com profile] paperflower86 is selling her papercuts. I made this post about 12 hours after she'd posted her sale and didn't know about it til now. AND AND AND the Arthur/Eames papercut I love hadn't been claimed. WELL IT IS NOW. IT IS CLEARLY THE UNIVERSE'S VALENTINES DAY PRESENT TO ME.

Just saw this on [livejournal.com profile] sherlockbbc and it's just creative and adorable beyond words, so I thought I'd post it for anyone who's into BBC Sherlock right now.

The Coat - A Tale of Adventure (book)

ETA: More adorable Sherlock + coat fanart by [livejournal.com profile] humansrsuperior!




I really need a Sherlock icon or two. <3

Crossover fanart:
  1. Anon's adorable fanart fill to this XXXHolic crossover prompt.

  2. maywood-preston's Sherlock/Misfits crossover fanart (via tumblr). Adorable and so true (even though I haven't actually seen Misfits and don't know what it's about. Though I might have to check it out now. Oh, Sherlock.


And. Round 11 of the [livejournal.com profile] inception_kink meme is open. How is it that I still need Inception fic like fucking burning?!

Also, I currently have no music playing. Please suggest something!

Inception Crossover fic recs!


  1. POSTED TODAY: [livejournal.com profile] frantic_allonsy's crossover with Merlin, in which the team incepts King Arthur. Since I just saw s1 plus a few eps of s2, I consider this good timing! SO DAMN GOOD (so far, as I'm in the middle of part 2); lovely and subtle and more quiet than I was expecting. AND OH JESUS, ALSO EXTREMELY HOT!<3

  2. [livejournal.com profile] ethrosdemon's crossover with Harry Potter, in which Arthur and Eames are wizards. Hahah, this is as close as I've come to being tempted to read the books when I've managed to avoid anything and everything to do with HP (books AND movies). I highly recommend it based on Kassie's usual writing. I probably will not read this for another couple of years. (How ridic am I right now? Yeah.)

  3. [livejournal.com profile] butterflythread's crossover with Equilibrium, in which Arthur is a Grammaton cleric and Eames is a sense offender. Lovely and sad and hopeful; it captures the feel of the movie perfectly. <3

  4. [livejournal.com profile] finkpishnets's crossover with Brick, in which Brendan receives a visit from a stranger in a dream. I tend to like the ones where Arthur used to be Brendan, but this one's got a unique idea. Slightly more Brick-focused than Inception, and I wish there were more in this verse, dammit.

  5. [livejournal.com profile] whiskyrunner's crossover with Mysterious Skin, in which Arthur used to be Neil. All kinds of angst and fuckery. Poor Arthur Neil Eames is all I can say. It's heart-wrenching (as always) to read her stuff, but the end (and the two one-part sequels) are SO worth it!

  6. [livejournal.com profile] pyrimidine's crossover with Time Traveler's Wife, in which Eames travels a lot. And Arthur waits. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I may have recced this before, but it deserves another. I read the book because of this fic. It is so much love, IDEK.

  7. [livejournal.com profile] cobweb_diamond's crossover with Burn Notice, in which... I don't actually know what happens because I haven't read it yet and neither have I seen the show. So, yeah. I'm reccing based solely on the quality of Gav's writings.

  8. BONUS: FANART and crossover with... RL!THARD? Now We're Cooking by [livejournal.com profile] red_rahl, in which EAMES IS COOKIN A TURKEY YO xX


I just started watching Lie to Me based on a friend's recommendation -- and realizing how similar it is to all the Holmesian shows (House, The Mentalist) out there. Which are, of course, my favorites. Well, so "just" started watching means I saw season 1 over the holiday and am looking forward to starting season 2. It's a wee bit more episodic than I usually like, but am enjoying the characters despite some of the cheesiness inherent in depicting the workings of the main character's talent in reading people's true emotions based on "microexpressions".

So yes, I WOULD NOT BE AGAINST AN INCEPTION/LIE TO ME CROSSOVER FIC RIGHT NOW.
osaraba: (portal wcc x head)
But you wouldn't be able to tell because I just SPENT THE WHOLE FUCKING NIGHT -- and yes, I mean the last seven hours re-familiarising myself with CSS and S2 codes so that I could change my layout and add in a rotating header.

SELF, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

In any case, I finally figured out something that was being stubborn, so... yay?

I still have some more tweaking to do; mostly of colors, but I'd like to create some C6D headers in the same vein as the Inception ones above. (For which, btw, credit goes to A Softer World comics and [livejournal.com profile] greenpixiehair, who brilliantly combined the two and kindly gave me permission to use them.)




But for right now, I just want to sleep; this is kind of what I feel like:

Please don't take the fanfiction survey. (This is from August 2009 and links are obsolete but the comm's response was lovely. ...and I don't even know how I actually got to this page in the first place.)

osaraba: (twice the fun|inuvampy)
Last night I read (in one sitting, no less!) Dead Beat by Jim Butcher, the latest installment of the Harry Dresden series. Oooh, it was good. One thing that is always consistent with Butcher is his sense of humor; his dry wit is irrisistible and delightful. And I love that he makes grammar jokes within the story. OMG, yes I do; yes, I am a nerd. Sometimes he'll have a story that is less than captivating; his humor -- shot straight into your veins via the main character -- always pulls me through those trouble patches. Luckily, Dead Beat was not one of those less than captivating. The plot held up, as did the humor. And I think that this one was just a bit darker than usual, Dresden was a bit darker, and I loved it. I hope Butcher continues in this vein (no pun intended, I assure you).

Yesterday, I saw [livejournal.com profile] ponderosa121's post of commissioned original fanart for [livejournal.com profile] maderr's original fiction story, Treasure. For background information, you must understand that there haven't been many works of (fan)art that will make me go out and read a fic or start a series because of it. One exception is Pond's pic of Duo and Hilde that I love so much (and I'm not a 2xH fan) -- it really, really makes me want to write a fic for it! The other exception being the fanart linked above. I loved that it is two parts, not just one pic; I feel like you get to know the characters a bit better just because you can see them in two different ways -- the night/kiss scene is that much more powerful because you see them not kissing (but obviously sharing some kind of communication) in the day scene. And the dynamics and emotion in her art really leaps out of these pics!

I don't think Maderr could get any better advertising for her fiction than Pond's pics; I just don't think I can gush enough about them. It's really odd, but even without knowing the characters, I was really effected by their personalities -- that's how you know it's good art. =D

Well, I went to go read the original fiction, and by god, it's some of the best fiction I've read in a long time! Her characters and interesting and well-developed, and sensible! (Oh, the rarity of sensible characters ~ it pains me!) Her plot is also interesting and well-developed! I am highly impressed and feel the need to make everyone who hasn't read her stuff, go read it!
