dude, I had a goldfish that lived for seven years

Old school (relatively speaking) anime fans, Gundam Wing Addiction is no more! DDDD:




(Also, holy crap, hello! It has been a very long time!)

Ages ago, turlough won my help_pakistan auction. I was ridiculously stoked to work on it (old school fandoms! then-brand-new MCR! GUNDAM WING.), but life conspired such that I wasn't able to actually finish until recently. But Killjoys need no apologies! Nor do Gundams!

(Man, this was so much fun to make.)





( Have safe Zechs, use a Gundam! (rather gigantor picture under the cut)Collapse )

Also, just for completion's sake, turlough also posted the images over here and here.

YOU GUYS.



reena_jenkins MADE A PODFIC OF DEAN, SEX GOD.



Haaaaaaaahahahahahha! It is so wonderful! The inflection and the voices are just spot on, and it completely captures that deliriously wonderful time where OF COURSE Dean Winchester would end up in Atlantis and in the rituals of many a young nubile priestess!

GO GO GO LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!



(Also, I am just so delightfully boggled that people still even come across that fic! Who knew the enduring appeal of DEAN, SEX GOD - which I still cannot write sans all caps - and the hilarity of SGA crossovers? :DDDDDb)

I am working on things at a snail's pace. On the plus side, because my longer projects are taking so long, I am in the mood for INSTANT GRATIFICATION and have started picking away at some inception_kink prompts.

Prompt: Can I have Vulcan Arthur, please? Maybe some Kirkian Cobb, too.



( To that I say yes and yes! (2 pictures behind the cut)Collapse )

Whoop whoop!

Oh boy, sorry I've been MIA for so long! renquise and I actually moved to New Zealand in the past month (you know, as you do), so things have been all a'flurry. We were sans internet for a few weeks there, so now that we're connected again, I've been soaking up Inception like a crazed sponge.

So, for inception_kink, some fanart:

Prompt: AU fic. Arthur is a DJ, Eames is a bartender.



( Welcome to 528491 (2 pictures behind the cut)Collapse )


Finally, I am rather late on this, but I also put myself up for auction for help_pakistan. Probably a bit of a long shot, but I have fanart up for bid here and, if anyone is feeling particularly generous, a figurine up here. For the figurine/maquette, please read the additional notes.

Until next time!

An anon requested me to reupload Plight of the Clownana, and, over a month late, here it is! (Anon, if you're still out there, sorry for the delay!)

"Ishamel is the Clownana, a dancing half-clown, half-banana store mascot. Life is great until the nearby porn store gets its own mascot and Ishamel is left wondering what his life is all about - oh, that and there is a not-to-be-missed dance-off." - IMDB summary

(As an aside, this has been floating around the internet for six years now, so it's a pretty mini video. 15 minutes in 31MB!)

My gosh, I leave the internet for a bit, and suddenly I am behind on everything!

Real life: I finished up work! By the end, I was started to get a bit frayed, so while I will miss the rather nice paychecks, I am looking forward to a little bit of time to myself. Also, as of this weekend, I am graduated from university! To be honest, I am surprised by how nice the whole thing was. I didn't expect to be so moved by all of the ritual, but there were some very nice things said and done. Graduation was balanced out by a certain bittersweetness as all of my friends were leaving town for places unknown. My roommate has moved out, and there's literally a giant hole where her things once were. It is Very Strange. I did manage to drive a few friends to the airport and see them off, but it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I will not see them for quite some time.

Fannish things: I haven't had any time to look at BBB stuff, but my fanart was posted for Cadesa's Caress by the excellent figilio_vampire. A story about storytelling! Worlds colliding! Some of my pushbutton fic kinks! :Db


So now that I'm just sitting around for a bit, I'm looking for things to do. My current list includes:

+ Clean my room, or at least make the roomie-shaped hole slightly less conspicuous
+ Finish my little skater dude
+ Write up a commissions post and see if anyone is interested. (Alternately, spend the time making indulgent little dudes and see if anyone wants to take them out of my hands.)
+ Learn to bookbind(???). One of my crew works at a well known paper store and she says she'll teach me how. I'm excited about this. :D
+ Get ready to PACK.

spaggel drew this rockingsocks picture of Gaila and Kirk and it got me thinking of WHEE COLORS. And then WHEE HOLMES IS PURPLE. And then.

Well.



( The longer I look at it, the weirder it gets, so I'm just dumping it here now.Collapse )

Rah rah, Sherlock Beauregarde Holmes/Gaila!

It's been a relentless, uh, month, so I hooked up my tablet and did a quick little doodle.



( In which I pick out four colors and only use three.Collapse )

Derp derp. The end!

+ Gundam Wing fans! Did you know that Shinigami.org is saved on the Wayback Machine? Amazing! Also, do you remember that Heero is Not Toast? To this day, when I open up a new tab, I sometimes find myself typing in "GWA" because I checked that site near daily for a quarter of my life!

+ Did you know that Death Note is currently the 25th most popular fandom on Fanfiction.net? *waves cane*

+ Remember how dreamy Tamahome was? And what was up with Chichiri, no da? (True fact, up until about five minutes ago, I was calling him Chihiro, but I'm pretty sure that's the kid from Spirited Away.)

+ Who thought that House of Kittens was a good name for the florist front of four assassins?

+ And I KNOW that someone, years and years ago, sent me this Escaflowne AMV set to Apocalyptica. (Which, if you haven't seen it, you should. Instrumental badassery! Mecha! Granted, it's also the movie, but that is okay!)



And in a slightly less dated point, I am re-obsessed with Saiyuki manga. Rather than post the lengthy essay I am in the middle of thinking my way through, here are links to places where you can read it!

+ Gensomaden Saiyuki, the start of the series, is available up over at OneManga. Introduces the Sanzo Ikkou and their wacky hijinks while traveling west. It starts off as pretty standard shounen fare, but once it finds its feet, it becomes absolutely heart wrenching. Beautiful art and really strong characterization.

+ Saiyuki Gaiden, the prequel that takes place 500 years before the current story arcs, has since been completed (and apparently greenlit for an OVA) and the scanlations are available over at MangaFox. I am entirely unable to articulate how much I love Gaiden and how successful I think it is, both as a standalone series and as a precursor to the current story. (Also, I nearly cried.)

+ Saiyuki Reload, which directly follows Gensomaden Saiyuki, is also available on MangaFox. Reload is less episodic and, I would argue, works a much vaster scope. If I have my chronology correct, Minekura had put Gaiden on hiatus for a bit, but she started it up again at about the same time as Reload. Not surprisingly, the two storylines build on each other and make for a wonderfully realized universe. Relatedly, renquise pointed out that the Burial arc was made into an incredibly faithful OVA and has been fansubbed. (We ended up watching it in the late night hours, absolutely felled by glee.)

If that wasn't enough, Minekura has also started up the sequel to Reload - Saiyuki Reload Blast - in which the Sanzo ikkou make it to India. She's also started up Saiyuki Ibun, a story about Koumyou, our grumpy Sanzo's mentor. Those are both available at OneManga.

And, finally, here's an interview with Minekura, which is a fascinating look into how she ended up doing Saiyuki and how the storylines have fallen into place.
