NOT friends only 8D

Hi, my name is Ginny, and emotional constipation and multi-fandom whoring are my game.
This place is born of rock n' roll, shiny feathers, magic wands and rainbow socks,
so feel free to add me up and comment whenever you want! :D

I JUST WANTED A BANNER TOO, OKAY. >_>

Hi, I have been abducted by the Avengers fandom but will probably be back soon--monogamy not promised. I have [info]hs_merlin and [info]reel_merlin to get all jiggy with, as long as long-overdue fills for previous requests as usual (I know you guys are getting tired of my lameness already ;;), and--well. Merlin and Arthur, Bradley and Colin. ALL MY FUCKING FEELINGS THAT NO SUPERHERO TEAM CAN SIMPLY BLOW AWAY, PERFECT BOTTOMS AND CHRIS EVANS' FACE (AND HIS EVERYTHING--seriously. I had never liked a blond and blue-eyed boy-next-door type until Bradley Fucking James, and now there's two of them what the fuck) BE DAMNED.

In other news,
I'm starting with grad school next week! This is exciting and fucking scary at the same time, not to mention how I'll have to endure limiting my daily budget even further now that my school fees have temporarily crippled my finances. Good news is the big boss at the office told me last week that he's spoken to the president of the corporation about possibly giving me a huge promotion halfway through my studies? And the president said yes, so. Hopefully that will srzfax truly happen for real face. But right now I'd be happy with a decent percentage of that annual raise. oAo /claws at

Anyway, I went to karaoke with office mates late last night and am currently functioning on autopilot so, uh, thank fuck my work requires mostly mechanical functions only. I love graphic desiiiiiiiign.


Do I want to draw fan art of those two dudes from the "Call Me Maybe" MV? Yes, I do.

ETA. YOU GUYS. I'm browsing through my f-list for the first time in two weeks (/cliiiing) and I am liking that I'm seeing a shit tonne of Avengers around. I thought things would have blown over by now, but ugh--this is a legit crazy-good-crazy ass fandom now, isn't it? Well, okay, it has been for a while before the movie even premiered, but ughhhh <3333333~~~~ &butt_hearts; FOR EVERYONE!!1 ;A;

ETA2. I've been terribly busy as usual and haven't had time to READ ALL THE FIC!!! *A* at all, soooo if you guys can rec me some that'd be awesome. o: Pairings I like are Thor/Loki (★★!), Tony/Steve, Bucky/Steve (★★★!!11), a bit of Steve/Peggy (FEELS ;___;) and Tony/Pepper, Clint/Natasha, and I might be swayed towards Bruce/Natasha too actually. Bonus non-romantic Science Bros are good, too. UGH IDK THIS FANDOM REALLY EXCITES ME?

I was too tired to properly squee last night and I'm kind of piled in with work today, what's new, what's new, but I've been flailing on your journals if you guys have noticed, and I wouldn't mind flailing here again--LET'S JUST DO IT IN THE COMMENTS Y/Y/MFY?

Here, I made a poster... thing:



OH, LOOK, AN ART DUMP! 8D
(includes moe!Arthur/Merlin, teenage!Arthur/Morgana, and Draco Malfoy.
all doodles, nothing serious, BUTTS.)


Also, also, also! [info]radioaches! I got stalled on the art I promised you for the hotness of your Tony/Steve/Bucky fics, but it is happening, okay? It. Is. Happening. Although it mostly looks like at the moment. 8|

.... Somebody stop me from signing up for [info]avengers_rbb. D8

I'm on vacation for Easter hols and online only on mobile right now, which is actually a lot more than I'd been while at home for the past two days where I pretty much spend the day just eating and helping Mum take care of the kids and do the chores and making sure she and my sister don't kill each other. XD

It would have been the same deal even now that we're here at my dad's resort (it's not really his, he just runs the place), only with swimming, but I kind of... incapacitated myself by accidentally tripping on our rusty old fence and cutting my toe deeply enough that I had to be taken to the ER for it.

There'd been live updates with photographic evidence of the injury on my Twitter (look for @ravynash if we aren't following each other already.) Basically, I had to get three stitches and anti-tetanus shots while my adorable sassy doctor flirted with the cute nurse (according to my mum at least; he wasn't really my type) and told me what a brave girl I was being, he's sorry if the anesthetic shot hurt like a bitch (it was only second to the pain I had to endure while they SCRAPED my wound clean), and not to worry because I'll surely feel the pain again once the anesthesia wears out.

So now I get to be a princess for two days until I have to get back to the city and work on Tuesday. I'm only disappointed I won't be able to take my usual laps in the pool and go biking in the woods like I normally do when we're here, but at least I have time to work on my fan projects? If the pain killers don't knock me out for most of our stay. (I don't really need them, though. They didn't use to call me "Robo Gin" during my football varsity days for nothing.)

Every time I have to go somewhere after work that isn't simply dinner or a movie with a few close friends, I get this irrational feeling of dread where I have bit of trouble breathing and can't concentrate very well on anything else until I'm already on my way to the event/place. Heh, remnants of GAD, gtfo plzkthxbai.

That being said, [info]Reis-twinneh and the other ladies of SPIDERSILK PRODUCTIONS are launching their new art exhibit ACID ASYLUM in Makati today, and another good friend from high school Sarah Joy (link goes to her Tumblr; go listen to her awesome singing!) will be performing at the event as well, so that's going be cool. Reis has already had some of her paintings reserved by a collector, which is thrilling, and I'm super super proud of and inspired by her for working really hard and going after what she wants. ♥

Anyway, since we're already talking about art, here are a couple of my comparatively less-than-impressive attempts at it (shh, but I'm still quite happy with them ok) lately:


Characters/Pairing: Mordred
Rating: T (because my team mate says the snake is too fucking scary for her and there's some blood)
Summary/Notes: Done for [info]drawmelot's Celtic Animal Project.

{ Mordred and the Adder }


Title: You put your arms around me, and I'm home.
Characters/Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Rating: G
Summary/Notes: Back huuuuug! :D

{ You put your arms around me, and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go. }

My boss finally told us that he will be leaving the company by April. Ah well, que sera sera, life must go on, it's not the end of the world, fuck it. I passed my grad school exams anyway! Just waiting the department to call me for an interview. Yay~

PS. CONGRATULATIONS TO MY WAIFU AND BBDOLL [info]ionnesaysrawr for having recently graduated from uni! Now stop making like Bakanishi and get back here on LJ and keep my ドキドキ 輝く bedside warm and poppin' again, betch.


B(


... I may have slightly taken over the PERVERT SUGAR tag on Tumblr last night.

ETA. Colin and Katie and not-the-right-Bradley's photoshoot: liking about half of it now, still running away from the rest. Yup.

ETA2. Man, I wish we had UK's Celebrity Deal or No Deal instead, if only so I could see Tom Hopper being all nervous and shit on a game show.

Nobody else is in the office. Time to draw! /o/




Oh, and--



Happy 6th anniversary, KAT-TUN!
You fucking bastards. I fucking love you boys so hard, I hate you. ♥
Maybe someday I can listen to your songs again without fucking crying.
Fuck.

So. Colin in the Lady Magazine video? Not my favourite thing yet. I think I'll have to wait for the actual photos to surface before I can join everyone in cursing his existence and dying from his glorious face, because right now I'm not feeling like the video is doing him justice. (Basically, I look at Colin and I see S L E A Z E and immediately want to run far far away while punching things. Issues, issues, personal issues.)

I am, however, totally with [info]lolafeist in wanting a Merlin jazz AU with sex and the slinky-like dancing and all that, well, all that jazz. Preferably with pompous aristocrat Arthur, and Merlin as Jack Dawson. Y/Y/MFY?


fucking hellnghhhh.

I'm seeing variations of this all over my flist and damn, it does not look good. I'm not sure what will be happening in Canada, but I wouldn't be surprised if we soon follow the US lead.

(this is an edited version of [info]lk737's post here)

According to this article, dated March 15, 2012:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/webnews/major-isps-turn-into-copyright-police-by-july-says-riaa/

"File-sharers, beware: By July 12, major US Internet service providers (ISPs) will voluntarily begin serving as copyright police for the entertainment industry, according to Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The so-called “six-strikes” plan is said to be one of the most effective anti-piracy efforts ever established in the US."

The article goes on to give details. After six notices, internet providers will decide to throttle a person's internet speed, or cut it off altogether. No more downloading eps of your favorite shows for vidding, gifs, or fanfiction art. No more downloading screencaps possibly.

Fox news confirms this:
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/03/17/us-isps-become-copyright-cops-starting-july-12/

Youtube video explaining this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5OG0R-yS-c

For the record, I'm far more worried about the constant surveillance and the record being kept of everywhere I go online than I am about getting caught taking copy written stuff.

A friending meme happened sometime last week--and you know how weak I am for those things (SO WEAK)--and I made new friends, but haven't made a proper welcome post yet, so...

OHAI NEW FRIENDS HIII!


I'm Ginny: fandom addict, communication & media studies freak, random artist, wannabe rock star, [[info]chaosmaka's] dragonpie, rainbow cadet.

Posting here will be sporadic because life is crazy and I can only manage my time so much, but I do constantly check my f-list and comment when I can. Tumblr also makes it easier to spazz-blog with only half a mind present, so you'll see more of me there, my love-hate relationship with it and all. I'm also on Twitter, though I usually log on there only on my mobile (for some reason, I enjoy tweeting more on mobile).

Here, have Bradley's face!



BULLETS!

All the bosses are out of the office today, so I'm spending half my time re-layouting campaign designs for other materials and the other half trying to plot out what I'll be doing for my [info]hs_merlin project. AH LAHV HIGH SCHOOL BOYS. Um. Yeah.

The other night I watched Parked. I broke. But it was really beautiful! But thinking about particular scenes still does terrible things to my feelings. ;_;

Have you guys read A Dabba Doo Time (You’ll Have A Gay Old Time) on [info]merlin_games? Voting for it ended yesterday, I think, but it isn't too late to enjoy it in its pure ingenuity and cracktastic glory. Check out [info]lil_lollypop36's art for it, too! :D

Ah, but I should finish my piece for [info]drawmelot's Celtic Project soon. Going on vacation with my family and relatives from my mum's side this weekend, so I'll probably be spending most of it in the cabin doing just this. Socializing? What socializing? I'll do that when there's food.

Kind of excited for this!
