::dusts LJ off::
. . . I still can't believe that just a couple of years ago, I never would have gone so long without updating/reading my flist/engaging in other LJ-centric shenanigans. Now it's getting too regular for me to vanish for a month or more. Sigh. Well, baby steps + fandom = regular LJ activity, right? Right!
(& that reminds me,
sneakyangel virtually gifted me a pair of awesome headphones! Thanks, bbdoll, that was so sweet of you! ::hugs::)
So! I'm popping in before I start getting ready for work (opening the shop today, not being a file slave) to say hello to all of the lovely new friends I made from the Young Justice friending meme! ::waves at all of you:: It's delightful to meet all of you! I'm really rather bad at intro posts, but my big damn fannish megapost can be useful, I think. Also, my Twitter! (Yes, I love Twitter a bit more than I should, I know.) It's locked, but I'll add anyone that isn't a spam account. ♥
Hmm, so, what's new in my little life . . . not too much, really. Life's been fairly smooth for the most part, at least recently. ::knocks on wood:: I did actually start venturing back out into my (past) nightlife activities, after a long, long period of reluctance. I actually had a great time last week & I'm pretty sure I'll be going again this week.
I also saw the fellow again. Erm. That's for a longer post, but the short of it is, it was his birthday last week, I wished him a happy birthday, he said he was glad to see me & had felt kind of bad about how things went the last time we saw each other & I gave him a (somewhat sipped at, but still a valid offering) bottle of Bacardi I'd been (trying!) to drink throughout the night. Good thing he likes rum.
I also need to do a comics squeepost sometime. Mostly because I need to flail about Huntress: Year One in more than one hundred & forty characters. Also, Young Justice.
Also, Green Arrow. (Spoiler alert: the Grell era needs to NEVER EVER END.)
Speaking of all things Oliver Queen, I think I need to do another rec post in the future, but rather than a second Bruce/Wally one (because there isn't enough fic for them in the world!), I'll whip up a nice Arrowfamily rec post! They're not getting enough respect, dammitall! ::shakes fist::
Hmm. Must go get ready for work now. Then I have errands to run, which means I can't stay & spend time with Jenna after she gets to the shop, or start working on the book she's showing me how to create. (she knows a bit about bookbinding & she's teaching me how to do it. Awesome!)

I'm really hoping I can get back into some sort of consistent activity on here, a part of me really does miss it. And I've been wanting to get back into writing, so I hope this helps with the motivation.

Date: 2011-03-10 06:46 pm (UTC)YAY! (really, what more could I say? :P)
I definitely miss LJ a bit too - I've been here under different names since I was thirteen - having a semi-real life is nice & all, but LJ is always justa bit more fun somehow. ;D

I'VE BEEN HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH OLLIE LATELY, BB. & DINAH. IT'S BEEN AWESOME.

Date: 2011-03-27 09:00 pm (UTC)And because I need to tease you further, have my shipper icons, which were adopted by some of the other players according to their preference:
For the Declan/Molly shippers:
The second one was dedicated to my friend Patty, who has this fantasy of Declan skinny dipping in the lake to the sound of Dreamweaver, which became a running joke in the RPG. :P
And for the Declan/Cece shippers:
The last two are a reference to the fact that Cece's best friend, Hugo Beery, has a crush on her and is trying to steal her from Declan - which results in my boy threatening to break his teeth and/or nose at every possible moment. Kristine (who plays Hugo) often jokes that the two boys should dump the girls and shag each other, which resulted in her making this icon of Declan:
In retaliation, I made this icon of Hugo:
And we throw the two icons at each other OOCly for a laugh.

*pets again*GREAT arms, you mean. I should not perve on my own characters, but with Douglas Smith as Teddy Bear Boy's PB, I just cannot help it. Have some more examples:
I think he's trying to channel Maxwell Smart here. :P
I screencapped these two pictures myself from my Big Love DVDs - which I snagged just to perve on Teddy Bear Boy. As you could see from the cap of his bum that I showed you some time ago, it was worth it. :P
No arms in this one, but I'm adding it because I feel this picture shows just why Teddy Bear Boy's theme is Behind Blue Eyes (the original version by the Who, not the Limp Biskit cover).

*SPARKLY FITZY*
*giggling*I LOVE ALL OF THEM! Honestly, I love this guy to pieces. And his arms. And his bum. :P And look at my icon - isn't he adorkable?
And for more Teddy Bear pimpage, Douglas Smith is also a musician, and I love his music to pieces - not only because I think it's catchy, but also because the knowledge that he writes most of the lyrics shows me the sensitivity he has. Teddy Bear himself is a jock rather than an artist, but thanks to his PB's music it's very easy to see the artist hidden underneath - the inner Teddy Bear. :P
Here's some of his songs:
* Antarctica, by his main band, His Orchestra. I tend to link this one to Teddy Bear's relationship to his girlfriend Cece, particularly the lyrics that seem to connect with their first attempt to sleep together ("It was the strangest thing for him to ever think that one day he was to give himself to her/But for me what was stranger was the feeling of danger that I felt the moment that it occurred").
* Another His Orchestra song, Black Coffin. I like to picture this one as the theme song for Declan/Molly, as the opening verses (Keep me out of your life/I know it ain't nice but it's for the best of both of us") fits with the fact that Teddy Bear's love for Molly is such that he's willing to be away from her just to keep her safe.
* Just for the lulz, here's a public service announcement His Orchestra made using that very song. I usually hate ads against illegal downloading, as they're annoying to hell, but I love this one - and not just because of who's in it.
* besides His Orchestra, Douglas is also in another band, Alaskan Summer, alongside his RL girlfriend Ashton Lunceford (who was the "face" for Cece in my mind before my friend Orla started playing her in the RPG and decided for Nicole Anderson as PB). My favourite song of theirs is Machine of Love. The song is very cheery and sweet, and the music video reminds me once again of Teddy Bear and Cece.

Date: 2011-04-17 05:12 pm (UTC)It's Baby Teddy Bear! Aww. ♥
And here he is, all grown-up but still as adorable.
Douglas Smith with his older brother, actor Gregory Smith from Everwood. I like to imagine Gregory as Teddy Bear's brother Cormac, for visual reference (Teddy Bear is an OC, but Cormac is a canon character that appeared in the sixth book).
Tee-hee.
I have no idea what's happening here, but it makes me giggle.
This one too.
Rawr.
Gorgeous.
Stupid watermark. If it wasn't for it, I could stare at this picture (and into his eyes) for ever.

Date: 2011-05-02 10:07 pm (UTC)I have some bad news on the Teddy Bear front: he broke up with his (evil) girlfriend, who is blaming Molly (AKA the girl he really loves), even though Molly is completely blameless, and is now plotting a plan to get even with her. I've been discussing this plot with the players of Molly and the evil girlfriend and with the game's mods, as Teddy Bear will have a noble gesture and take the fall in Molly's place - and alas, this means he'll be severely punished by the Voldemort supporters now running the school, who will see him as a traitor (he's been misguided all this time and being a student aide to them, remember), and will come out of said punishment looking a bit like this. :(
Also, the game will probably end in two months' time, as that's the point in the timeline where the final battle in the last book is to take place, but because I'm dreading the prospect of no longer playing Teddy Bear I'm trying to figure out a way to convince the mods to create a sequel game where the characters will deal with the aftermath of the battle and spend the next school year (those who are younger than Harry Potter, that is, like Teddy Bear) witnessing the school returning to normal and their society being rebuilt. Wish me luck!
And because I want to end this blabbering on my RPG fun on a high note, I leave you with this magnificent sight.
