| Subject: Who's awake? :D |
"To obtain the gifts of chance and chance encounters, risks must be taken--the risks of failure, poverty, vain pursuit, the risk that the moment of presence will end, leaving behind it wounds and nostalgia. Suffering must be accepted, which is less profound than joy (Nietzsche), but slips despair into joy's place when joy is lost in time. It is true that despair, a moment of poietic action, is different from anguish, that emptiness from which there is no escape. Those who refuse to take the risk because they do not wish to suffer, no longer wish to feel joy. Who has desired it to the full, apart from the philosophers, the founders of religion, certain mystics, certain revolutionaries?"

| Subject: [fanart] Scribbly bit of Noitora/Nel |
I don't usually post the things I do over on Tegaki, over here, because my fast sketches are crap, but I'm pretty happy with how this came out.
Another bit of Noitora/Nel fanart.
( Worksafe enough for the Tegaki E board ) |

| Subject: [not fanart art] Great manly piles of cloth |
I finished this so as not to feel compelled to finish it any more. More guys in togas.
It started out highly not worksafe, got rearranged into something nearly worksafe, and at long last I just figured I might as well make it worksafe. If only to be able to post it on DA and make people squint suspiciously at the thumbnail.
...aaaand I did a desultory flip through pictures and diagrams of Roman houses on the internets and yet this is still almost certainly not a historically accurate space. YOU CARE. I KNOW YOU DO. :D
( ...Worksafe. ) |

| Subject: [fanart] Bleach, Neliel/Noitora |
This finished itself in between a stack of other things (seriously, there's still a row of eight half-done little drawings in tabs in Photoshop). Neliel/Noitora porn, because I like this couple a whole lot and they're both hot (yes, even Noitora--IDK, it's an acquired taste) and they're even hotter together and they're relatively canon, yet fandom hasn't made with the stacks and stacks of porn as yet. And there's about nothing on 4chan. BOO.
Anyway, there's a dearth of angry hair pulling and beating the crap out of each other het porn out there.
( NOT REMOTELY WORKSAFE ) |

LOL FATTY. :D
I've straightened most everything out now and also actually tagged all my entries, plus fixed some old image links that no longer worked, etc. etc. etc.
It's all very satisfying. ;_;
I yearn for more cat manga; unfortunately, both Fuku Fuku and Chi's Sweet Home are done by the same scanlators, and they seem to be rather backed up just now. :( |

| Subject: Meme/Public Service Announcement |
This meme has been going around and it looked like fun. Anyhow, there's a possibility that there are people on my flist with whom I share fandoms that I was hithertofore unaware of having shared. With them.
a. Post a list of 15 fandoms.
b. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.
1. Bleach Hirako Shinji. Because all sorts of things are wrong with Soul Society, so you have to love the people who break its rules best--especially when they do it with this kind of ~*~style~*~.
2. Death Note Mello. He's the reason I kept reading through the second half--if you're going to cheer for the bad guy (and everyone in this series is, to some degree, a bad guy), it's so much more fun when he stands on the side of anarchy and not on the side of order.
3. Hikaru no Go Hikaru. He goes from being a thoughtless punk kid like any other to the sort of person who can cry openly over the records of old Go games because they were so beautifully played.
4. Claymore Jean. She turns into a monster without losing her mind, she's loyal and devoted and honorable to the end and, really, the classic strong silent knight.
5. Monster Inspector Lunge. I love him even more than L: he's fixated and obsessed by his work to the exclusion of everything else (and he's clearly written by someone who read Les Miserables Y HALO THAR JAVERT) and in the end actually manages to wrench his mind out of the linear rut of reasoning he built for himself and to solve his case. (Also to kick ass while doing it.)
6. Princess Tutu Ahiru. THERE IS NO QUESTION: the duck who saves the world.
7. Moyashimon Hasegawa. I love her best of a very lovable cast: she doesn't take shit from anyone and she's strong-willed and impulsive and she has a good heart. <3
8. Harry Potter Dumbledore. After seven books of plot twists and turns, his character hung together the best and most interestingly for me--besides, I love arrogant young twerps who win a conscience the hard way.
9. Simoun Neviril. She reminds me a bit of Anthy, who was my favorite from Utena: both of them seem so polite and proper and contained and too willing to do what they're told; they're also seething with repressed -everything-.
10. Oniisama E Miya-sama. SO CRAZY and a bit of a sociopath and a magnificent bastard, but hey, she just loves perfection and quality and beauty so much--by the end of the story, though, she's really learned, repented, and ~*~moved on from the aesthetic to the ethical~*~ (another brilliant jerk who wins a conscience the hard way, basically).
11. Babylon 5 Marcus. SUCH A SWEETIE he's like one of these saintly young things with 'beautiful souls' from a Dostoyevsky novel--if they also had a sense of humour, sang Gilbert and Sullivan songs, and could beat people up with a Minbari staff. :D
12. Battlestar Galactica Two answers: Boomer and Tigh, my two favorite unsuspecting toasters. :D BSG and Carnivale have a common preoccupation with what you are as opposed to who you want to be, fate and free will, and my favorite characters in both of them are the ones who have to worry about that question most: I started watching BSG for Starbuck and kept watching for Boomer (and then BAWWWWWWWW'd shamelessly at the beginning of the second season when *spoiler*). As for Tigh, he's the sort of unhappy crusty old S.O.B. I already couldn't help but like (also hopelessly devoted to Adama) and now that *spoiler*, well, he's even more interesting.
13. Deep Space Nine Odo. I love pretty much everyone on DS9, but angst-and-guilt-ridden defectors from the other side get me every time.
14. Avatar Have to have two answers: Iroh and Zuko. Because they have all the best moments in the series together, and everything that I love about Avatar shows up most between the two of them: Iroh is the sweetest wisest mentor in the world and Zuko, well, is highly fallible (not to say adorably full of fail) and really needs someone to show him the right way to go. (I loved the second season dearly.)
15. Carnivale Brother Justin. He's one seriously evil motherfucker (unfortunately for him, he was fated to be) but through most of the first season he still managed to hold on tenaciously to that small bit of good in himself.
NB: Chi's Sweet Home would of course be on the list if the answer weren't so obvious.
NB#2: YOU SHOULD STILL WATCH MOYASHIMON

LOL EASILY AMUSED BY ANIMATED GIFS (And yet the little squeaky shoe from Roger Rabbit made me cry as a child. ;_; But that wasn't played for comedy--anyhow, in this case, the rabbit eventually got away I DON'T CARE IF THEY SHOWED IT OR NOT, THE RABBIT GETS AWAY.)
Here's another piece of Handel duet for singer and trumpet from the same CD as last time, and...just the last movement of the Trout quintet because I'm an accessory to the debasement of high culture like that.

| Subject: Oh, boo. BOO I SAY. |
I has flat tire. >:( Just coming back in the front gate with my bicycle this morning I snagged it hard on a bit of garden edging. BAH. That was extremely stupid of me. (And now I must look up 'changing bicycle tires' on the internets because I actually have no idea what you do in a situation like this.)
The weather here is unbelievably beautiful right now, though. Texas has its moments of perfect weather, around this time of year; it's still even chilly in the mornings. Which is nice, because you don't feel so much like you're right on the brink of an inevitable spring-to-summer slide into hundred degree days. (Although you are.)
Here's the Barber adagio that everyone knows, something off a Wynton Marsalis/Kathleen Battle baroque duet CD I've had since forever but haven't listened to in a while, and a Dvorak serenade that everyone knows, but which like everything Dvorak is still awesome. :D \o/ I've played the first and part of the last before (and so am sentimental about them both) . . .but not the second of course, ah. . .on account of being neither a singer nor a trumpet player.
