• it is an extremely rare occurrence, but spn_gossip *can* be awesome, at times. the best part are the idiots who fell for it. damn, they'll believe anything you feed them if it fits their ~agendas~.

• i've been playing majora's mask and i hunger for some good genfic for the game (like this one. never cared for game novelizations but holy shit it's amazing). where is it?? i've only found two or three. D: please help me out, flist. i've had to resort to browsing the zelda archive on ff.net and there is only so much badfic i can take before my brain dribbles out of my ears.

• okay, person, i'm not knocking your offer to write fic for help_haiti, but honestly, tacky much?

• speaking of zelda, i stumbled upon a video showing an old beta version of the OoT great fairy here. they should have kept those imo. the lack of face is slightly creepy, though.

• from 4chan: i thought this was adorable, for some reason. the rest of the post were long threads consisting mostly of "party" and "hard". idk, i lol'd.

• via aldehyde: BEST MANIPS EVER. I LAUGHED UNTIL I ALMOST PUKED. warning: NSFW!!!

• about two weeks ago, i made my twitter account public for a few days. looking through my replies, i found out someone had rt'd me:

@RPS_Family who the hell is @metalsirius and y is he/she talking bad bout us?

made my morning, what can i say? i thought about replying to them to tell them that their username hints at irl gay incest, but got off the computer instead to get some food or something, i don't remember.

now, speaking of twitter... ( here's a link dump of all the fics and stuff i've spammed to my feed for the past couple of weeks )

1- I HAS ACHIEVED SUPERNATURAL. dunno when i'll start watching, hopefully soon. i decided to give myself an extra week of vacations so maybe i can use it to catch up in time for the next season. i hope i like the series otherwise this whole thing will feel like an epic waste of time. :x

2- boxofmagic!! GIT IN MAH BELLY ARTHUR/MERLIN LONGFIC. i just finished reading one, it was fucking awesome. thanks to woldy for bringing it to my attention!

3- due to the above i can't concentrate long enough to make any real progress on my bigbangblackout art. :[ *stares at photoshop*

4- some really great twilight princess fanart over here. man i wish i could do clean lineart like that.

• stranger in the house by freudian_fuckup, r/s, nc-17. for all my angst lovers; r/s in the middle of the first war, when things are on their way to falling apart, with them still making an effort to hold them together. there's a richness of complicated, painful emotions and things left unsaid.

some more stuff:

• zelda wind waker fanart by meiwren, fantastic colors and absolutely a-freaking-dorable.

• sun and moon by maiyue . kafei and anju. getting married. *sighs, sobs.* ;__; the artist has a few HP pieces that are also worth a look, esp. for tom riddle fans.

• edit: i almost forgot one! i've been meaning to rec it for a while. petunia by gerre. this got me a bit teary-eyed, i admit. it tells two parallel stories: the canon version of events and an AU in which petunia is a witch and goes to hogwarts with lily. just wonderful.

art rec... of AWESOME!

feast your eyes on L16's deviantart gallery. and perhaps die of laughter.

some highlights:

malfoy got TOLD
voldemort's death stooges
hi voldemort

warning: if you want flattering portrayals of your favorite characters, LOOK ELSEWHERE.

i laughed so hard i got nausea.

on the other hand, this nabooru is quite lovely.


...

man, i love metal, but goddamn if some band names aren't absolutely lolarious.

guess who's finally working on their springsmut assignment. OH YEAH. i'm working sort of simultaneously with that h/d sketch i posted (which i had to re-draw because the original was one of the few things in my fanart folder i didn't back up. that slowed me down considerably). the h/d is looking way more tempting than the springsmut one, mainly because it's so much simpler. i don't know why i get myself into these problems, guys. ahhh.

i don't know how much i can talk about it, but i'll say two things:
-it involves more than two people
-one of the characters involved is one i've never drawn before. the others i have, just not often.

if you want to guess, give it a try! it's not like everyone and their grandma's pet cat won't be able to tell it's mine once it's posted. i can screen comments. and, you know, not tell you if you got it right or not. 8]

i still want to play mario kart a lot, though. and red steel. i should be better at it now that i've figured out the wiimote. we won't talk about the disaster that was my first attempt at that game.

other things. i found fleshdress's fic masterlist, which was great because when i tried to look for the fics directly in her lj there was some weird bug or something that directed me to a completely different post when i clicked on the cut. idek.

i finally could read this fic which i'd been wanting to for ages because YAY 4 crossgen!r/s, r/s with an age difference is my strange r/s kink and it's sort of hard to find, especially actual cross-gen. and also this one which, haha, reminded me that i had a thing for boys wearing girls' underwear, and this other one which is james/reg and hilarious, and yet another one that is AU and also james/reg and hilarious and hot and a bit adorable.

oh, and this other j/r (omg so happy -- me, not the fic) and lastly a nice bit of zelda gen (link, majora's mask) and this other hilarious link/sheik thing which cracks me up with every re-read.

mini links by itchibutt, rated G. adorable, very creative and well-made. :]

zora link:: musical tuna by rikona on y!gallery.

this is seriously amazing. one of the best depictions of zora i've seen. :D amazing details and use of color.

i think it looks more like mikau than zora link, but hey, it doesn't make it less good.

• holy shit man, Aceilux is FINISHED. This was the only Zelda fic I was still reading, and now I'm feeling all... sad and stuff. Because it's over. ;__; What shall I dooo. The Link/Sheik comm is sort of dead and I don't love L/S as much as I used to, so almost none of the fics that get posted interest me. Oh well. :/


• I updated the rec list. It went from 184 fics to 196 (plus 2 pieces of art). Some are new, some not. Obviously I had forgot to look in some places. :]


I just finished the first painting for my oil painting class. I still sort of hate using oils (I always start out well, but then it gets so fucking tedious), but the painting didn't turn out that bad. It's a reproduction of one of Beksinski's paintings. I'll post it when it's dry (along with a link to the original for humiliating comparative purposes, of course).
