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).

[community profile] chocolateboxcomm creator reveals were more than a week ago, but my pandemic brain fog/disjointed awareness of the passage of time has been a lot, lately. I had a ton of fun drawing for the exchange as usual!

My contributions! )

My GIFTS, though. [archiveofourown.org profile] likeadeuce wrote me The Only Hell Ma Guthrie Ever Raised, a deeply delightful piece of classic New Mutants comics gen that was exactly the kind of balm I needed. The best kids! Shenanigans! Magneto and Emma Frost being, respectively, stern and snarky! And then there was this intriguingly tropey piece of Locked Tomb smut, Fingerbones, by [archiveofourown.org profile] DachOsmin. D/s-inflected necro/cav ritual sex set at the very start of Gideon the Ninth, my gosh.

Cabin fever shows some signs of breaking, as the weather has been warming up (I got to go back to commuting to work by bike last week, which was such a relief). At least, to a point. Semi-quarantine continues to be painful and lonely, and there was an awful scare in my family (non-COVID-related) last week that has me even more shaken right now, which I didn't even really realize was still possible. So I've buried myself in a reread of the Murderbot Diaries over the last few days. I'm excited to write my first fairy tale retelling in years for [community profile] once_upon_fic (and my goodness, aren't I grateful for the generous writing period, in this time of deeply unpredictable creative energy/exhaustion). And the BFF has convinced me to try and take up Tumblr again, luring me with talk of upcoming The Expanse fic. I hadn't been back over there in three years, so it's a bit surreal.

Speaking of both Murderbot and tumblr, I'll leave you with this truly stunning Murderbot animatic/fanvid which gave me ALL THE FEELINGS, good lord. Made by a 20-year-old, I have wasted my life.

Talk about some warm fuzzies, here. [community profile] fandomtrees revealed yesterday, and um ... I GOT PODFICCED! :D :D :D I can't stop flailing, oh my gosh. I didn't realize quite how much I wanted this, even when I requested it, but it's like ... IDK, like having someone draw fanart of your original characters or something. My words in someone else's mouth! They sound so much better that way! ;)

In which there is a party, an extra-fake trial marriage, an unexpected indoor snowstorm, and a Prince of Cats who is not particularly impressed with self-denial based on possible future expectations. (Spoilers for the entire series up through A Red-Rose Chain.)

I also got several yummy-looking recipes! There's tons of good stuff scattered under peoples' trees in general: fic, art, fannish graphics, recipes, book recs, music recs, fic recs ... worth browsing through. I've only just started.

Apart from several recipe and book rec sets of my own, I made two pieces of fanart:
Harrow the First and Gideon the Ninth kissing, apparently mid-battle
Harrowhark/Gideon smooches for [personal profile] crookedspoon!


And Utena language of flowers art! )

Yeah, I love fandom, you guys. (Also, psst, [community profile] chocolateboxcomm sign-ups close tomorrow at 11:59 PM EST! 300 word minimum, or a clean pencil sketch on unlined paper, and it's always amazing!)

... and then I fell into an anxiety-riddled funk and kind of disappeared (online and IRL) for awhile. /o\ But hey! I've been doing a bunch of fanart to help pull myself out of it. Have a roundup? :D?

Sailor Moon/Killjoys fusion (like a neon pink raygun to the face) ) Also, CHECK OUT the gorgeous Teen Wolf/Lost Girl fusion art that [personal profile] ataratah drew for our exchange! <3 <3 <3

Teen Ghost: the Teen Wolf spinoff that exists only in my head )

Quickie illo for thingswithwings's America Chavez/Kamala Khan fic )

Scribbly little Teen Wolf & Pretty Little Liars doodles )

Aaand last but not least, here are two more pieces for my birthday female characters doodle fest: the Queen and the Soldier (Serenity/Pluto) and Utena's birthday present. I know it's been months, but I'm still carrying the remaining prompts around, so you never know when more might pop up. :)

I can't believe there hasn't been any MCU fanart in all of this. I should fix that. Although I do kind of have (original) porn to be drawing, too.

At some point I really need to check around and see if there are any exciting bigbangs or reversebangs I want to participate in. I miss doing fic illustration so much ...

Heyyy, sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth (again) ... I had a lovely, very full birthday weekend (with very tolerant friends!) and then things got all busy again, as they do. I have more than half a dozen awesome prompts I'm still planning to fill for the female character doodle challenge, all written safely down in my sketchbook! They might just be a bit staggered. (Convention season has been sneaking up on me, yikes.)

Here are a couple amazing things other people made for me for the fest (jeez I am still all a-flutter, you guys are so GREAT <3 <3 <3):
Bondage interruptus (Sailor Moon; Michiru/Haruka & Hotaru - pretty SFW) by [livejournal.com profile] sae
Lydia and ghost!Allison team-up (Teen Wolf), by [personal profile] ataratah
Adorable Utena/Anthy vignette (Revolutionary Girl Utena), by [personal profile] alexmegami

And here's a quick round-up of what I've managed to produce so far:
♥TUXEDO ARCHER♥ (Teen Wolf/Sailor Moon fusion)
Leslie/waffles OTP doodle (Parks & Rec; prompted by [personal profile] analise010)
Alana Bloom puppy pile doodle (Hannibal; prompted by [personal profile] were_duck)
I AM FOUND doodle (Welcome to Night Vale; prompted by [personal profile] rhivolution)

So that was an awesome way to turn young for trees, basically. Love you allll.
