12:26 am - "We'll see about that"
It doesn't have to be fluffy.
"He's mine. My servant. My toy. My property. Mine to break, mine to mend. No one else has such right. No one can take away what's mine.
So I'm taking him back."
Or something like that.
I'm not sure I want to write it - well, not as a fanfic, at least.
(And I *most certainly* not going to write a crackfic where he brings Leon back with the words "Eowyn Eomund's daughter, awake!". I'm not suicidal.)

02:21 pm - Fanart for hatedom: those are not the False Prophets that you're looking for...
I mean, that's not the portrait I began to draw a week ago. When you start screaming at your own drawing: "Stop looking so vulnerable, dammit, you're The Second Most Powerful Man In The World! Look the part! Imagine I'm someone you must kill!" - you know you need to take a break. So I did. Those are more... caricaturized versions and are not intended to be taken seriously.
(Maybe they'll anger him enough that he'll stop to act like such a woobie around me.)
( Judging by his sad expression and inability to look his age, that's fanon!Leon. And for some mysterious reason he looks like Sylvester McCoy. )
( This guy is either Jewish or a person of colour, but definitely not an Italian by any stretch. And what's with his face? )
I plan to leave him alone for two or three days. Then I'll either come back to the current version or start anew.

10:40 pm - Fanart for hatedom: he's still too pretty. Grrrrr...
I left his hair alone and try to work with his face.
"Prettiness" is not the only problem. He doesn't look Italian at all.
I darkened his skin. It didn't help.

01:53 pm - Umm... spoilers? No one who reads my lj watches Doctor Who anyway...
So I read all the spoilers for the latest DW episode I could find, and all I could think about was That One Fanvid. So today I braced myself and went to who_daily - and what did I see in the beginning of Monday reaction post?
"WARNING: EVERYTHING FROM HEREON IN CONTAINS SPOILERS OF VARIOUS KINDS FOR THE WATERS OF MARS AND THE TRAILER AT THE END. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
For reference: Handlebars, by flummery"
So I'm not the only one.

10:46 am - Fanart for hatedom: trying to draw Leon
Right now, despite all my efforts, he looks ten years younger than he's supposed to be and too... well, "pretty" is probably a wrong word, but I can't think of the right one. And, well, I'm still not a hairdresser. I did three versions of his hair, and neither is satisfactory. I tried to make his hair curly, he ended up with an afro. I straightened and shortened it, it made him look like a brunet Ken (Allan headmold, not modern one).
At least this time I'm not on meds. Could be so much worse.

07:23 pm - Ходячий замок
В книгах Софи – рыжая и с характером. (Рискну предположить, что характер у неё всё-таки и до превращения в старуху проявлялся. Да, «серая мышка», да, экзистенциальный кризис, сыгравший на руку Ведьме… Но судя по обоим переводам, находящимся у меня под рукой, истерики младших сестёр наша героиня прекращала отнюдь не лучезарной улыбкой и словами «Ребята, давайте жить дружно»… А после того, как чары Ведьмы с неё спали, она не превратилась автоматически в ямато надешико, вторая книга – тому свидетельством. Так что, сдаётся мне, характер таки был её собственный, а не побочный эффект чар.) У Миядзаки она сначала темноволосая, потом седая… и не столь «взрывоопасная». Toned down a bit. Она и с пугалом подружилась… тоже мне, Дороти.
Джонс… не знаю, как сказать… более тонко, что ли, обыграла сюжет «Красавицы и Чудовища». Героиня большую часть книги проводит в облике старухи, бессердечный герой внешне отнюдь не похож на монстра. В аниме Софи, подобно шварцевской фее, стареет и молодеет в зависимости от душевного состояния, Хаул превращается в гарпию…
(Кстати, Хаул в книге валлиец. Это многое объясняет. Что у нас в Уэльсе? Прааавильно. Центр изучения и наглого присвоения инопланетных технологий. Разрыв в пространстве-времени. А вы ещё спрашиваете, как он сюда попал.)

http://s57.radikal.ru/i156/0911/0b/62c461b2a721.jpg
And her Theme Song (first part of it, anyway)
I'm the woman of science - you know what it means:
Science is godless, therefore it's bad.
Scientists are commiting multiple sins,
When they should swallow their pride and trust the Bible instead.
I'm a foreigner, too - you know where it goes:
Foreigners are evil by default,
With our primitive cultures, our sinister goals...
When something goes wrong - it must be our fault!
Call me
Ms.666 -
Because it's better than the name that they gave me
(something something something -
- next two verses don't exist yet, sorry)
And stop with
this nonsense, please -
Quit telling me I'm damned and nothing can save me.
I am
Ms.666,
And, believe me, i know what I do.
Heaven's closed for me. you say? Well, who needs Heaven anyway
If it's full of creepy jerks like you?

02:41 am - Going Meta (yes, that's the title)
There's something about our story
That I simply don't understand -
I mean, we both read the books, right?
So we both know the end...
The game is rigged, we're doomed from the start -
All the prophesies tell us so.
Can we do something, anything at all
To change the status quo?
Why should we play by their rules,
Once again lose to those fools?
The end of the game is always the same -
Just how they want it to be be.
Why bring forth our own demise?
That's exactly what they want from us!
It won't do us any good -
so why should we?
Why are we doing everything
That might help them to bring us down?
Wy are we welcoming enemy spies
And letting them hang around?
It's not that I'm jealous - even though I am -
But such affairs can be dangerous.
You can have everyone, all the world is your bedroom -
Why risk everything for one of those?
Why should we... etc.
Canon's on their side, says they're always right -
So we need to prove them wrong.
Why are we following their script?
Let's go and write our own!
Screw canon, screw prophecies, screw them all!
Playing along makes no sense!
Why should we let this story end
The way it always ends?

Having inexplainable problems with accessing some sites and blogs. They work for others, juist not for me. Is angry.
Tried to take a quizz to relax. Second question killed my desire to continue:
"Would you ever consider dressing up as a member of the opposite sex for Halloween?
---Um... I'll keep that in mind just in case I get desperate for a costume idea.
---Not unless I can be a stumbling, zombie-fied version of the opposite sex.
---No way. I'd look like an idiot."
Screw you, quizz author. Oh wait. I won't. Screw yourself.
There's no people who'd willingly dress up as a member of the opposite sex for any occasion. Nope. Because, really, why would you want to do it - what are you, gay? Oh, wait, gays dont exist. It's a teen site, teen quizz - no icky gays here! And since you're straight, remember: straight people are never ever would do anything that's unaproppriate for their gender. For example, girls don't wear trousers - only dresses. And men can't cook. What do you mean, you know a definitely straight girl who wears trousers? What do you mean, you are a straight girl who wears trousers? Well... erm... but, you see... it's different... really! Because... because we said so! Trust us, you don't want to dress like Jack Sparrow for this Halloween! No, you don't! Well, you can dress like "a stumbling, zombie-fied version of the opposite sex" - that's okay, that doesnt't send those eww-inducing gay wibes.

04:18 pm - Fanart for hatedom: I'm NOT the hairdresser!!!
Say, Tr., are you ready for another round of "The hair! THE HAIR!!!" horror? No? Thought so.
Five or so minutes ago Viv tried to cosplay Jareth.
I probably should stop for now and continue when I get better.

11:49 am - Fanart for hatedom: trying to draw my namesake
I suspect that when they wrote about Ms.666's "teased hair", they probably didn't have something Edward Scissorhands-like in mind. Probably.
Right now she looks like she's in serious need of a name starting with "D".
Oh, and a better artist.

I go to sleep, come back in the morning - and what do I find there if not the same old flamewar, and I still have no desire to participate. Tomorrow we'll get (maybe) a new installment of critique, and people will find something else to talk about, and J. will (hopefully) bring new dose of slash that'll save me... But toworrow is tomorrow. Today is flamewar, over and over again.

So. Lots of people think that my English is quite okay. That's good.
At least one person thinks that I am flirting with J. Not so good.
I don't know what J. thinks and I'd rather not ask. I mean, I know that she doesn't seem to mind (yet) but I don't know if she sees it as flirting or not.
And I'm scared.
I don't need melodrama in my life, I really don't. I created this LJ to run away from melodrama.
Am I really flirting? Why the hell am I doing it if I do?
I'm there for snark and slash, not for melodrama.
I promised to stop worrying. It would be easier were it not public place where everyone seem to pay attention. What she thinks about this attention? Is she comfortable with it? That's the only thing that matters. I don't want her to have problems because of me.

Не самый лучший день сегодня, хоть я в итоге и притащила домой троих шарнирных личностей мужского пола. Плеер выбрал самый "удобный" момент, чтобы сдохнуть, пришлось всю дорогу слушать то, что водитель врубил.
Полдень. Солнце раздражающе яркое. И мрачный голос Цоя: "А тем, кто ложится спать - спокойного сна. Спокойная ночь..."
Сюуууур.
Мой поставщик слэша пока не появляется, но стараюсь не нервничать - кто их знает, который сейчас день и час в Колорадо... Надеюсь, с ней всё в порядке.
