where our design has failed

[reflectedeve]

Egad, I am so sleepy.

This ... is an unusually and especially intense holiday season in many ways. My partner had top surgery two weeks ago, so I've been spending a great deal of time a few towns over at their place, caring for them and helping my metamour around the apartment. (I also cooked half our Thanksgiving meal, but that's standard!) This weekend, one of my dearest friends is having a baby shower (my second nibling is coming soon), and the weekend after that, I'll be attending (and briefly cameoing in) an unusual theatrical production which will have emotionally high stakes for my entire family of origin. And I mean, you know. Yuletide, Christmas and Hanukkah presents and a lot of cross-state travel.

Is it 2020 yet?

Really, all of this (hopefully including that performance) is good stuff, it's just ... so much. All crammed together. Gah.

Anyway, I did want to share my femslashex piece! It's post-film Edith/Lucille from Crimson Peak, and I had the most splendidly self-indulgent time with all the crosshatching.

I also received a lovely bit of Rachel/Kitty futurefic from Sheliak, A Future, Brick by Brick. My forever OTP. <3

And now it's back to what is totally my dream Yuletide assignment! If only I can stay awake!

I have no idea who these women are or what Crimson Peak is, but I enjoy your art nonetheless! :p

Well thank you! :p It's a 2015 gothic horror film (heavy on the gothic, fairly light on the horror) directed by Guillermo del Toro. Fun and pretty, if not very substantive. A fun film to do art for!

Wow, I love the art, especially all the detail in the room! I hope your partner is recovering well!

Gosh, thanks! <3 Doing all that little fiddly detail is one of my favorite artistic indulgences (alongside the hatching), which I have to temper most of the time. So this was super fun!

And my partner is doing great (just over three weeks out, now); thank you very much for that as well. :)
