Heey, look at me posting on LJ before the end of the year... :')
I'll be honest, I came on here to share my latest hyperfixation, which can use a little help. It's a little show called Dead Boy Detectives, and Netflix cancelled it even though it did really well, and has only been out for 4 months. It has a lot of potential. So I came here to entice you all who haven't seen the show yet to go check it out and give it those viewing numbers and maybe make Netflix change there minds. (And even if we don't get that second season, it's a pretty good watch as is. The season rounds up pretty nicely.)
What's Dead Boy Detectives about? Well, the title really says it all, honestly. In London, ghosts Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland are the Dead Boy Detective Agency, solving supernatural cases while hiding from Death. After helping a World War I-era spirit move on to his afterlife, they rescue psychic medium Crystal Palace from her ex-boyfriend David, a demon who steals her memories.
It has lots of great female characters, strong chemistry, talking cats, a cat King, a crow who's also a boy, a man who was once a mighty wallrus... and it's very queer. Also, Ruth Connell (Rowena from Spn) is in it, and Richard Speight Jr directed an episode. The head writer is Steve Yockey, who's also from Spn. And I mean, look how the main characters look at each other:
Seriously, George and Jayden (the actors who play Edwin and Charles) have Jared/ Jensen levels of chemistry and it's wonderful to see. (..George called Jayden the love of his afterlive on Insta and I'm still not over that. XD)
Hmm.. seems like LJ is gonna be a end of the year thing now? I keep saying to myself I want to post here more often, and then I totally forget. XD My fandom life is more on Tumblr, Instagram and Discord these days. I also still hang around on Xtwitter, and I'm also on Bluesky (if anyone needs an invite for it, I have a few). I'm Sillie82 pretty much everywhere.
Anyway. I came on here mostly for a request. I'm writing my Holiday cards rn, and I need to know if any of you have moved. If I sent you a (holiday)card in the past, I need to know if the address I have is still up to date. I personally have not moved, so if you sent me a card last year, that address is still accurate. :)
Quick update on other stuff... I'm very deeply into Good Omens right now. I loved the show before, but season 2 got me completely obsessed. I might have a bit of a fixation on David Tennant. :') My mom and I are watching Doctor Who finally. We started with the 9th doctor, and are now at season 3. Baby David Tennant, be still my heart. :')
Still managed to keep up with drawing. I'm posting most of it at Instagram and Deviantart. Still reading (reading the Witcher rn) and gaming (Tears of the Kingdom is amazing). Work is eating up a lot of my time and energy, but there's not a whole lot I can do about that sadly.
Will probably do a kind of end of the year review again at the end of this month.
Soooo.... The last time I posted here was at the end of last year. XD I've really fallen out of the habbit of posting here, and even though I wanted to do better, I failed hard at that. XD I must admit that other social media have kind of taken over from LJ. I'm a lot on Discord these days (username is Sillie82 (Silvia)#6261 over there, if you want to find me) and I'm on Instagram a lot, as I post my art there. I"m also on Tumblr, where I keep my queue going with a variety of things. I also have a side artblog there. But! I still have love for LJ so I thought it would be fun to summarise 2022 a bit. I mentioned some hopes in my last post, and I wanted to come back here and see if I managed those things. I'll put it all behind cuts, cause this will probably get long. :')
Hey all! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Mine was relaxed and uneventfull, just the way I like it. I'm off work for a week now (the daycare I work at is always closed between Christmas and new years), so I'm really enjoying that I have finally time for some gaming and arting. :')
Did some arting today, and drew a puppy. ...or, you know, Aidan, as I tend to do these days. XD Reference picture is taken by a fan after the play the Lieutenant of Inishmore when Aidan came outside to sign some autographs. I couldn't find who took it, but I love it so much I had to draw it. click on the picture to see bigger
I actually didn't do to bad with drawing this year. I hope I can keep it up next year. I still have a lot of pictures of Aidan I want to draw (XD), and I have some more other characters I want to tackle too. I watched season 2 of the Witcher with my mom (how awesome was that, btw?), and I def. want to draw some of the characters from that show sometime.
Anyway. It's very much bedtime for me. Last day of 2021 tomorrow. Will celebrate the start of the new year at my parents. Hope you'll all have a great night. Be carefull with fireworks if you light them yourself. <3
Working on practising eyebrows. Not passing up on drawing eyes as well, because eyes are my fave part of a portrait. :,) I of course went for Aidan's eyebrows :P Planning on doing a few more so eyebrows hopefully won't be as hard for me anymore. (Click on the picture to see it bigger.)
So here's part two of my recent portrait drawings, with people other then Aidan. :')
I had this picture of Jensen that I really loved and wanted to draw for a while, so I finally went for it. There's something about the way he's kind of turned away but still kind of looking in the direction of the camera that I love. (Click on the drawings to see them bigger)
Then I came across a picture of Eric Szmanda that I really liked. Greg Sanders was my main squeeze in CSI, and I haven't drawn him in ages so I decided to sketch him.
And last but not least... my latest drawing. Geralt (played by Henry Cavill) from the Witcher. Season 2 is coming to Netflix soon and I'm pretty excited about that, so I decided to give his face another go. :')
Next in line is probably going to be another Aidan portrait. XD My obsession is far from over, but I also have a few pictures laying around of other actors, so we'll see. :')
I mentioned earlier that I got back into drawing finally, and that one of the main reasons is my obsession with Aidan Turner's face. So I uh... might have drawn him a few times (and still have a few pictures I wanna draw). >__> I'm okay with giving in to my obsession though, because his face is very good practice for a few things I struggle with. I have a hard time with eyebrows, and his are pretty hefty. And drawing curly hair is also something I needed to practice, and his hair is pretty damn curly. :')
Anyway...
Here's the first Aidan portrait I did. By that time it had been about a year ago since I drew my last portrait, so I was pretty damn rusty. :') (For all the drawings, click on the picture to see a bigger version)
The next picture I drew is one that I adore, and is from a Being Human promo shoot where the cast is in a bed under some blankets, and Aidan's hair is just all over the place.
I'm very glad I can see some improvement with every portrait I manage to finish. Funnily enough, the way I draw a portrait has also changed. I used to set up a quick sketch, and then start at the top and work my way down. Now I set up, and just start layering. I'm basically working all over, and not section by section. I like this way of working a lot more, I've noticed. :) Also, for some 'in progress' pictures, check out my Instagram. :)
I've also drawn some portraits of people who are not Aidan (:P), and I'll post those tomorrow, probably.
Alright, in my post from yesterday I mentioned that my mom and I started an artjournal together. I went first, and my mom gave me the prompt 'a witch party'. This is what I came up with:
Mediums used are fineliner and watercolors.
The second prompt I got from my mom was 'flower children'(or flower fairies), and this was what I ended up with: Mediums used are fineliner, watercolors and colored pencils.
I didn't take a picture of my moms work, but when I get the journal back next time I will. Her drawing was pretty awesome as well, and I'm very curious to see what she'll do with my new prompt.
Uh...wow. I really haven't posted here in forever, haven't I? I'm just having a lot of trouble keeping up with LJ lately. These days I mainly hang out on Discord. I also check my Twitter and Instagram regularly (same name as here), and I reblog a lot of things I like on Tumblr (also same name as here). I really miss hanging out on Lj though, so I'm going to try and make an effort to come here again.
I'm just.. really tired all the time. Work is very draining atm. Covid is obviously affecting everything, although not much really changes for me. I work at a daycare, so I can't really work from home. :') (honestly kind of jealous of people who can, sometimes.) I'm honestly kind of scared I'm very close to a burn out. I just had two weeks off, and I still feel as tired now as I did at the start of my holiday. And I did absolutely nothing. Well... took the occasional walk, played a lot of Animal Crossing, and drew.
That's one thing I'm kind of happy about. After a dry spell of over a year, I'm back to drawing pretty regularly. My obsession with Aidan Turners face is kind of to 'blame' for that. He's just so pretty I want to draw his face all the time. :') My mom and I also started an artjournal together. We swap it back and forth and give each other prompts to work on. I'll post all my drawings later in a separate post.
Also!! And this is also pretty important with Christmas coming up... I've moved this year. I now have a small ground floor appartment with a little garden behind it. I also have a separate room that I've turned into an arts and crafts room, where I can work on my drawings/ paintings without getting harrased by my cats. XD If people are interested, I can post pictures of my new appartment later. Anyway... if any of you are doing Christmas cards this year and want to sent me a card, let me know and I'll give you my new address.
Which lands me on the main reason I wanted to post. I wanted to check in with ya'll to see who else moved this year. I'm working on my christmas/ holiday cards, and I know some people have moved, but for the life of me I can't remember who. XD So... if you have moved and you want a card from me, let me know your new address. Thanks!
Hey guys. It's been a while huh? I really didn't think it would ever come to a time where I wouldn't post or check out Livejournal, but I guess it finally happened...
I guess there are several reasons for that, and I think one of the main reasons is that I've kind of fallen off of the fandom bus.
Ok, that was a bit of a rant and I'm not sure it makes any sense, but I had to get that off my chest.
Other than that I'm okay-ish? I'm worried about the state of the world, but I try not to think about it to long. No working from home for me because I work at a daycare and that's just not something you can do from home.
I hope you're all doing well. <3

Summary: Dean finds Sam’s first digital camera hidden in the Impala’s trunk while he’s working on switching out the mouldering carpet. He’s surprised at the effects the pictures and videos that Sam took twelve years ago cause between them. A lot more than he ever would have guessed, but it had been one hell of a weird year, that one right before he went to Hell.
