Hello from my air-conditioned cave, friends ...

I've been dabbling in various new exchanges this year! Mainly, there's been a run of racy art, which is always a lot of fun to do.



Links to variably naughty f/f drawings in Buffy, Utena, and Original Works )

I'm especially proud of myself, however, for the one bit of writing I did ... the first time I've written fanfic (of a sort) outside of Yuletide in fifteen years or so.

une sororité sanglante (gen, M)
An adaptation of La Barbe Bleue, by Charles Perreault (this version!), for [community profile] once_upon_fic. Written for [archiveofourown.org profile] Missy.
The letter arrives unexpectedly on the second day of her new husband's abrupt departure (urgent business, he'd said, unavoidable), addressed to her married name, and dated five years previous. The contents turn her world upside-down.

... you shall go back, and take your place among the ladies you saw there. )

What was the old maxim - three things make a post? Taking art and fic each as a "thing," my last is short and sweet: of course there's going to be a second season of the Good Omens show, and of course I'm feeling something between disgruntled and indifferent about it. I could certainly be surprised, but ugh. It's one of my favorite books, and the show already gets too dark and full Gaiman for me in places, you know? I suppose we'll see.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled occasional Dear Creator letters, though maybe I'll manage to write an entry that's a bit more substantial and present again in the near future. Who knows? We can hope that the brain fog won't last forever. And at some point I may feel inclined to blather about The Magnus Archives (which I did finally listen to).

(Aw, GeeWay, I missed your voice!) I very much enjoyed The Umbrella Academy adaptation on Netflix, I have to say. I mean, it certainly has some problems (pls stop fridging women, especially WOC, ugh), but having reread the comics last week, I really appreciated the additional depth the show gives pretty much every character. It sacrificed some of its delightful weirdness in the process (I missed the televator and the evil Eiffel Tower, although the latter at least got a mention), but I think it was, on the whole, a fair exchange. Especially for the developed relationship between Allison and Vanya, because I'm predictable.

[community profile] chocolateboxcomm reveals are up today! I drew two things!

it's all been done (Good Omens, Crowley/Aziraphale, G) is an exploration of Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship (more gen than not, tbh) through the ages, something I've wanted to take a crack at forever. And titled after the BNL song, of course. (God, I hope someone vids the new Amazon miniseries to that song.) It was really marvelous to revisit the characters after such a long time, too! I'm rather pleased with how my Aziraphale design has developed.

binding spell (BtVS, Willow/Tara, G) is a surprisingly SFW shibari-themed illustration of Willow and Tara performing a steamy/romantic spell together, because of course. Aw, nostalgia. <3

I have utterly failed to read any of the fic yet, which is ridiculous, although to be fair I've been quite busy. Taxes, family drama, work drama, blah. But my person will finally, finally be back from Europe tomorrow night, so really, nothing can keep me down for long. And then when they head off for another month after only a week's stay, I'll have the archive waiting to comfort me.
