photoshop problems   
04:43pm 06/10/2014
  I can't decide which colouring I like better:

Blue


or sepia


Such an issue.

Also, it was tempting to put Peter in there, but his alpha form is just not photogenic.

  Circles are also apparently a thing.

I'm kind of impressed on how well Derek turned out.



And, now, to sleep.

photoshop = binge

  I have now just finished my third graphic for the day. Apparently I was missing some Photoshop vitamins or something.

I am loving the sepia at the moment -- this one was on purpose because I was trying to make look like a page from the bestiary.

  Like Hathaway for Lewis, they spring forth over my Yuetide story, along with some high pitched squeaking.

I got KEL AND DOM, people! And it is awesomely awesome.

any other way -- Sister, daughter, mother, teacher... five ways in which Keladry of Mindelan is loved.

Kel from outside points of view.

<3 <3 <3

I would flail as well, but I'm a little too tired and would probably hurt myself.

Fanon peeves. What are they for you?

Be as fandom-specific or as general as you want.

  My story this year is a thing of beauty:

That's How We Rolls, Muchachos - Sahara. Rudi POV. Poor Rudi is drawn into yet another Al and Dirk adventure with guns, snippy banter, Al's hat and the destruction of Sandecker's property.

It's wonderful and so incredibly spot on character-wise that I'm flailing like Kermit.

If you know the movie -- go, read it.

If you don't know the movie -- go, read it. And then beg, borrow or steal a copy of the movie and enjoy the role that Matthew McConaughey was born to play, Steve Zahn being awesome, Penelope Cruz bringing a great female character into the mix and William H. Macy, 'nuff said.

so, it's white ribbon day tomorrow   
08:07pm 24/11/2011
  Just a little reminder of the society we live in and why not saying anything, not doing anything is criminal.

Just add the recent Vile Kyle spewing of filth and it makes you think.

Well, make some of us think.

My hope for White Ribbon Day is that you, dear friendlist, will think.

Pretty simple, right?

Do some reading, follow some links. Maybe even do some research.

It doesn't take much to be aware of the world you live in and try to do something to change it for the better. Even if you only make a small change in attitude or action, it's still a change and can lead to something greater.

Simply saying, "Hold on, that's not cool," is simple but says so much.

Choosing an alternative option hits companies where it hurts -- their bottom line.

But saying nothing? Doing nothing?

Perpetuates the cycle, gives tacit approval for it to continue and makes you complicit in wrongs that are done.

If you agree? Do something. Sign a petition, choose another brand, go out and be awesome.

If you find this confronting? Good. A wake up call is good for the soul. It's good to learn new things.

If you don't care? Feel free to defriend me.

If you really don't care or can't be arsed to click a couple of links? Please, tell me now. I'd love to know, because I'll do the defriending for you.

  Firstly, thank you, thank you for signing up and I hope you have fun with whichever of my requests you go with. Please take anything I say as a guide, please don't lock yourself into trying to make it exactly as written. I don't want to limit you with what you feel you can write, I just want to give you an idea of what generally floats my boat. :)

If inspiration takes you somewhere else, I'm more than okay with that and will be bouncing off the walls waiting to read it.

the nitty grittyCollapse )

I missed out on nominations because I was lazy and distracted -- and now I'm doubly annoyed with myself because, people, why is there no Dom in Protector of the Small? :(

  but could mean that a ridiculous and discriminatory law is abolished if enough support is given.

The Get Up petition to the PM for marriage equality.

sign here

Why should anyone be denied the right?

Now's the time to show that you're not into slash just for the fetishisation of gay relationships and ignorant of the reality.

If you chose not to sign the petition, I will judge you.

If you can't be arsed to sign the petition, I will judge you.

If you conveniently forget to sign the petition, I will judge you.

You will be weighed, measured and found wanting.

Why, yes, I am looking at you.

Kate, Roland, Wat and Chaucer are also looking at you.

icon meme   
11:25pm 09/09/2011
  1. Reply to this post with 'hit me', and I will pick five (or three if you are pollymel) of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee. And there should always be icon glee!


robanybody picked these prettiesCollapse )

  According to the lovely littlerhymes, they have announced a release date for The Eagle in cinemas in Australia.

So, would any of you Aussies be interested in a viewing at a cinema to be determined on Saturday, 23rd July?

shower epiphanies   
07:02am 10/05/2011
  So, this morning is not going well -- took me about twenty seconds to realise that the reason I couldn't do my pants up was because I had them on inside out.

Anyway, I have a shower epiphany, as I am want to do, but this one was fandom related (normally they are more rant-related about something in the world according to pollymel).

WHY HAS SOMEONE NOT WRITTEN AN EAGLE/WHITE COLLAR FUSION? C'mon, opposites sites of the law, having to work together. It would be awesome.
