Hello, lassies.

I'm in a bit of a slump. I've had some time to work on things, but my sleep schedule's so out of whack that it hasn't really happened :/ I guess I have the weekend, though -- my brother's going out of town, so I'll have the place to myself for a few days. In the meantime, here are some things:

The first three were drawn by this person, who is fantastic.

Speaking of TF2, this is my new wall spray:

WCZP is getting really crazy and fun, by the way, and I love it:

JESUS KATE WTF

This one I drew awhile back, because...well, I'd watch it:

And a truefactoid brought to you by being hungover:

Habibi / The burn

So my fear of dying in the void of space* just went a level beyond because hey, you could drown horrifically in the void of space instead. Oh boy.

If you were a season,

you would be in bloom --

I wish I had good reason to see you soon.

No need to convince me

that you were a catch:

I bought my ticket. I'm sold.

At last.

Who was it that said

that love conquers all?

Oh

he was a fool, 'cause

it doesn't, at all.

Should I believe you told a lie?

(On the way to my heart,  and
on the way back)

*Yes, I know earth itself is in the void of space and we will thus technically die there. This does not make things any better.

Young and stupid and raised by wolves / Cops and wizards

Well I guess this is post #100, so I'm going to start with some pretty, pretty things:

This is in British Columbia. My current dream is to someday work-at-or-own a bookstore up there, and spend my days off wandering around fucking elven forests.

Or metal album covers.

SUDO MAKE ME A ROBOT

Oh Wizard Barristers, you are ridiculous. Also, Quinn is a total badass:

YEEEEAH

That's it from me for now... I have a few things in the works that I'm going to try to put up later this week, though. Happy Wednesday!

And oh, don't you wanna love and don't you wanna feel?

I remember: you were reckless,

you were hungry, you were real, you were

so uptight.

Listen,

I don't mind.

Humans are turning into wizards

WIZARDS, I SAY.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GOING TO DO TO MINECRAFT WHAT THE FUCK

Hey. Hey kid. You like articles? Well I got the good shit right here.

"We need to update our nightmares"

Also:
"Gosh, dad, I'm really glad you took the time to explain the Feast of the Hungry Ghosts to us in such minutely comprehensive detail."

So there is some wizardry.
Nature is ALREADY a wizard; ARE YOU READY FOR SOME NATURE:

Whoever designed this poster is a wizard (and now I need to see this movie):

THESE GUYS ARE WIZARDS:

"NEEEE~ ISAAC-KUN" "NANDAAAAIIII MIRIA"

...and this is me:

Yep. Well, I mean, metaphorically.

This has been your random sampling of things from my image folder. TO DRAW TOWN! /gallops away

In five years time, I might not know you --

in five years time, we might not speak.

In five years time, we might not get along;

in five years time, you might

just prove me wrong.

Love love love / wherever you go

Took some books back to the Library! today, then I stopped for a drink and a nice bloke (the bartender) bought me a G&T... so that was nice :3 It was really pretty out today.
A couple of those library books I'd like to purchase...but I think one of them might be out of print, which is a shame:
"To find the echo of order in The Rite, we have to pay exquisite attention. If we fail to listen carefully, if we tune out its engineered undulations, then the whole orchestra becomes nothing more than a mutiny of noise. The music disappears. This is what Stravinsky wanted. 'To listen is an effort,' he once said, 'and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also.' "

You have to respect a piece that causes an actual riot. Thanks, Stravinsky. Thravinsky.

I am also making a few things. Here's one of them!

"I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse."

Well, I can't argue with Hoshimiya Kate: it's anime time.

Come down from the mountain; you have been gone too long

"Emergency workers report that the damage from Valentine's day is worse than previously projected. They describe bodies, strewn upon the ground, covered in glitter and paper cupids. Entire buildings collapsed, leaving only rubble and chalky candy hearts."

Settle down with me by the fire of my yearning

More Qualia the Purple

YEEEEA GIRL

Pandora's music box / The blues are still blue spotted tail

I stumbled across a manga recommendation thread on SA (via a Retsutalk episode) and found some good stuff...I'm still reading through a few of them, but man...Goons definitely know what they're about -- masters of all things, etc. THANKS, THE GOONS!

In Qualia the Purple, Marii thinks people look like robots. Hey, that's swell -- but are you guys ready...FOR FRIENDSHIP

Baaaaaw.

Friendship (and borderline yuri), philosophy, and quantum physics... what more could a gal ask for?!

YEEEEAH REPRESENT

...aaaand this is one from Curvy I've been meaning to put up.

So! Some good finds there; apparently my to-read queue ISN'T BIG ENOUGH.
...It's nice to have the distraction, though; I got a mean case of the feels this past week, for which I (mostly) blame winter. It was so snowy here they ended up cutting a bunch of shifts at work... which at least meant I didn't have to bike in the snow, so that's a plus... and I have some good default things on the internet now for when I'm feeling down and need some cheering up. :3 They are the best things.

Music time!

All my nightmares escaped my head

 

We come in doing cartwheels

we all crawl out by ourselves

I...

I felt like I could just fly

(but nothing happened every time I tried)

Dare to be one of us, girl,

facing the android's conundrum.

You don't know how long

I've been watching the lantern dim,

starved of oxygen -- so

give me your hand, and let's

jump out the window. 

I left my lady in the launderette

you can put some money on it,

you can place a little bet that

when I see my lady

the black will be white and

the white will be black

but the blues are still blue

*  *  *

Suddenly, it was 4 am

...so I guess screw you, future self? To be fair: you should probably have seen this coming based on our shared past experience of screwing over future selves.

Happy 4 am! Remember: DO NOT. APPROACH. THE DOG PARK.

Feels so good, it must be Saturday

I ended up having some adventures last night, but I'll have to post about them some other time -- for now it's dinner time, and then veeedeeeeooo gaaames!

Who will fall far behind?

Sonuvagotdamnit/co/

Sooo there was a sad cartoon (and video, I guess) thread and now I am a melted puddle of feels. AND SO, TOO, UNTO THEE.

"I walked in with you alone, I'm walkin' out with you alone."

aaaaughlaublaghl

Montezuma to Tripoli (oh man, oh my, oh me)

Hello hello!
It's been a  little while -- I was sick this week, so I didn't do a whole lot...but today I got pumped (as the kids say) and got a whole bunch of stuff done. I think sleep deprivation helped somehow, because sleep...didn't really happen last night.

I've been drawing some more stuff here and there for Retsupurae, and for Supergreatfriend's delightful Saturday Stram crowd -- the latter in conjunction with the wonderfully talented Arlowa, who takes my crude lineart and works fantastic wizardry upon it. BEHOOOOLD!

 This one I colored, and I think it turned out funny, if decidedly less magical:

I also re-did an old dinosaur comic, because the apatosaurus looked dumb in the first version :/

So, there you have...all those things!

In more boring news, I'm getting my healthcare crap lined out, and applying for a second job as a grocery checker... it's really close to my first job, and if I can get an employee discount on groceries AND books, then I think I'll be pretty set. Cross your fingers for me, because one retail job just isn't cutting it, frankly, and I dream of someday becoming a real grown-up who doesn't have to worry about rent from month to month. (HA-HAAAaaaa)

Did you know there is a show about Wizard Lawyers? Because I am not even kidding.

These two books from the Library! are really good so far. I need to add them to my wishlist, but it's too vast and incomprehensible, by which I mean it is a box stuffed full of ISBNs on scraps of paper. That is how the book addict do.

In dearth or in excess,

both the slave

and the empress

will return to the dirt, I guess,

naked as when they came

(I wonder if I'll see any faces above me

or just cracks in the ceiling) --

nobody else to blame.

Nothing can be done

Week was long and somewhat baffling. I learned that walking to work takes longer than expected and trashes my back and feet -- but the snow melted today, so I can bike again! This is nice.
I've been in a comfy haze of books since my library trip. I got The Maxx, and it's great so far... and a graphic biography of Hunter S. Thompson (which was also good, but made me want a more substantial bio of him as well). Right now I'm on a book about the theft of a moon rock, which is kinda fluffy so far -- but I've been liking it. Maybe I needed some fluff. Bleeeeuuuaaaarrrr, this week.

I invented a game called "fill boxes with random doodles" -- you can probably guess how it's played.

As much as I'd like to end the post on that hamster-with-a-knife note, here are a few more things I keep forgetting to stick up here:

Exit stage...whatever direction my bed is in.

I am too tired to think of a post title

Today I visited the library(!) branch by my house and scored some goodies. I feel stagnant, and want to punch winter in the face -- maybe it's time to get my paints out and challenge that shit with brushes.

Despite a few rough bits, this (see below) was really good -- and this is coming from someone who's rather burnt out on zombie fiction.

Sooo... look forward to it, yo.
