Hi guys! I know I said I'd ramble about Hatoful Boyfriend some more, but I realised that I forgot to plug my upcoming Thing!

Me and chobichibi are running in the Race For Life, which is an all-women event in the UK to help raise money for Cancer Research. This is a pretty important issue for the two of us, since one of our good friends in Canada has recently been rediagnosed with cancer after recovering from it once before.

We've both set our sponsorship and fundraising target to £100, which is possibly achievable? I don't know, lol. We'll be jogging (yeah not running, we're not completely suicidal!) 3k, which is around 2 miles, dressed as Clefairy (pokemon) gijinka - in my case, I'll be wearing some adorable pink striped shorts and we'll both be wearing shirts designed by chobichibi :D Also I am making adorbs Clefairy ears wheeeee~

Either way, if anyone could spare anything at all to sponsor me, I would be eternally grateful! It can be as little as you like, but everything will help me get to my target! If you'd like to sponsor me, just click on the banner below - it takes Paypal perfectly fine or you can use a credit/debit card - and if you could GiftAid your donation too it'd be even better (the site has an explanation of GiftAid if you don't know what it is)!

still not a post about Distant Worlds/Expo! Well, it can be. A bit. Or at least, it could if I didn't feel like rambling about graphics and nano procrastination, lolol.

I hit 7500 words on nano last night! I know I know, it's still shite compared to loads of other people (ie: literally everyone else I know who's doing nano XD), but never mind. it just refuses to leave my head! I love this~

Anyway, in a spate of desperate procrastination (I'm going to a write-in in Huddersfield later, so I HAS LEGITIMATE EXCUSES, HONEST) I've been playing with my Crowley screencaps. I spent my procrastination time yesterday capping an episode - season 5 episode 20, The Devil You Know, to be precise. I am also cursing GIMP for being shite (I JUST WANT TO CREATE NEW LAYERS THAT AREN'T JUST COLOURS OR TRANSPARENCIES, JESUS GIMP). I am further cursing Supernatural's rapid decline to bloody dark filming all over again, and lamenting the loss of all the beautiful colouring methods I used to use for that buttload of season 1 and 2 icons I made back in the days of yore.

Is anyone on my flist familiar with GIMP? Do you know if there's an alternative to New Adjustment Layer from Photoshop (I used CS2 back then)? It is honestly driving me mental. I never realised how much I relied on that function in the past. :/ The only way I can see past it is to use New Layer From Visible then just adjust the properties on that one. But I'm not sure if it'll do the same thing. ARGH. I hate you, GIMP.

Anyway, after struggling with colouring a cap properly - I just CANNOT get rid of the pixelly black bits in the background, what is with that!? - I've managed to make myself an icon from it that I'm SORT OF satisfied with *points to post icon* And that's only because there is minimal background showing. I can still see the stupid greeny-black pixelly bits though, ARRRGH.

Alas, I cannot show you the before cap, because I overwrote it. But this is the monstrosity (I only say that about the colouring, because SWEET JESUS, THAT IS AN ATTRACTIVE FACE RIGHT THERE, MR SHEPPARD) as it stands now (and as it is, I did a fair bit of work once I moved the thing to the icon-size);



Also don't get me started on the size. VLC refused to apply my enforced size settings - I like to go for 1000px width and then just enforce the height proportionally, but it just kept all of them at their natural size. GRR. 623x352 is NOT BIG ENOUGH, THANKS VLC. *kicks it*

/problems of a screencapper

Either way, how happy am I to finally have some Crowley stuff I've made myself! Yay, I don't have to worry about trying to remember where the hell I found an icon! :D

OH ALSO: hallo to anyone from spn_crowley~ <3 it is awesome to have you around. Please to be telling me if you have tumblr also, then we can follow each other mutually and spray Crowley/Sheppard love ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE :D /end random XMFC reference

Oh and you're the only that likes Jecht, correct? I dare you to...er list an obvious daily routine for our favourite drunk lazy bum blitz star player. Preferably in his voice. Could be up to ten things and as scandalous/random as you like xD;

For your trick: you must write an entry on your personal LJ about how you think this original FFII Amano Chocobo design should have been what the series went with. ♥

MYSTI, I AM SAVING YOUR TRICK FOR LATER COS IT'S COMPLETELY FUCKING EPIC. <3

So this is my entry for the picspam challenge at ff_minigames 

Username: sai_salamander 
Class: Thief
Theme: Sacrifice | Favourite Scenes
Notes: Yep, this is pretty image-heavy alright. I am going to attempt to put them in chronological order... I expect no-one is shocked to see my favourite scene being one from FFX, haha. I would definitely have chosen something with Jecht and Auron and Braska in, but it's a fucker to find in-game screenshots, and I couldn't be arsed going onto windows for photoshop and VLC to screenshot some. Plus in-game isn't as pretty as FMV and we all know it! Anyway, I chose this scene because I'm a sucker for a good tragedy, and if FFX is one thing it's a stonking good tragedy. Even looking at these screencaps makes me well up (especially the one of Yuna whistling on the bridge ;____; ). Anyway, I don't do picspams often, so you'll just have to make do without a collage and proper colouring and whatnot (see: prior mentions of laziness).
Credit: Most of these screencaps are from the beautiful website Will, and some of them are my own. And then some of them are from a miscellaneous place which I forget, cos they've been in my images folder for quite literally forever. Oh dear.
