I need more superhero icons
A Wonder Woman portrait done by the incredible Palace of Funk
I just adore the style, the colouring, the content and the artist. She draws such wonderful noses and Diana looks wonderfully magnificent and poised here. I want to commission artwork from her, but I am coming up with a stunning lack of ideas right now.
Something heart warming:
"You are a perfectly acceptable human being right now, this minute. You are just as valid as any other human being, without changing a single thing about yourself. That doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to want to grow, evolve or improve yourself, or you can’t do better sometimes, it just means right now this instant, you are worthy of your own self love. Even if it is hard to love yourself sometimes (and boy, is it!), or you’re struggling with some really difficult stuff in your life, you still deserve it.
So dearest you, be kind to yourself, be kind to others, and give the best version of you that you can give, but know that even in the tough times, you are still valid, worthy and deserving of your own self love."

Why you should watch Samurai Champloo. By watch, I mean covet the music until your dying days.

Quedarse by acchikocchi [ author commentary]
Pairing: Raúl González/Fernando Morientes
One of my favourite aspect of writing is world building and the world building in this piece of writing is utterly magnificent. I don't think I've enjoyed the ideas behind a story since reading some of the Neverwhere Yultide pieces. It's such an elegant piece of writing as well, very reminiscent of some of the YA fantasy writers. Certainly 10,787 words of creativity and awesome. I was surprised to see something like this pop up since the fandom doesn't really seem to foster this type of AUs.
Not Quite Silly Season by diemme
Pairing: Alberto Gilardino/Luca Toni
Such a ridiculous premise, but it got some chuckles out of me.
I'm going though the Canada Soccer flickr. Top notch sports photography can be seen here. Admittedly, it's a mess organizational wise and whoever is running it likes uploading old images willy nilly. They've recently uploaded some 2007 photographs. :P One of my favourite sets has to be the one from the recent Canada vs. Ecuador friendly:
Notes: I've finished marathoning Princess Tutu. It's so charming and fairy tale-esque, which was probably the point. Now I need to find the song list for each episode.
