So like today was weird.
Today, the chairperson of the Cartooning/Illustration department at SVA came in my class to look at our finished theses. When he came in at the end of last semester, he told me that he hated that I chose to adapt The Little Mermaid, and if I continued with it there was no way in hell I could get into the end of the year C/I thesis exhibition. So I tried a few other ideas, but in the end I went back to drawing my gay merman and decided to not care what he thought.
When comes in today, he seems to have forgotten about all of that, because I've been waitlisted for the show! This means that as long as the comic is completed by the 30th, I will (most likely) get into the show. Since it's like 99% done, this won't be impossible, so...um yeah, I will probably be in the end of the year exhibition, something that I accepted I wouldn't get into. The only reason I think that I might not get in even if I finish is because he suggested one change that I really disagree with, but hopefully that wont be too much of an issue!
I don't even know. I haven't slept in twenty-five hours, except for fifteen minutes on the train, so I'm still kind of like, "huh?" but it's cool so I'm not complaining. Really, I'm just proud of myself for persevering, sticking to what I felt passionate about, and being able to tackle a really ambitious project in a way that I'm happy with. Normally when I get a project done I'm just happy it's over and I just think of it as another job done that doesn't mean much, but even though I haven't completed it I'm already amazed at myself. I can't even anymore....
Also, for those not following me on Tumblr, I've become really obsessed with Criminal Minds recently. It's a really good show to have on while working, so over the past two weeks I've watched seventy-eight episodes xD I started with a rec list of about thirty episodes that I got on fandomsecrets, and then when I completed those I started the show from the beginning, skipping episodes I had already seen. Currently I'm at 3.15 in chronological viewing.
Not surprisingly, my favorite character is Reid's hair, with Garcia as a close second, and Morgan as a close third, and my OTP for the show is Morgan/Reid, though I love Morgan/Garcia as well.
The character of Reid kind of amazes me, because he is a very innocent, pretty, sort of fragile man, and usually that sort of character isn't seen in Western television. Even male characters who show a lot of weakness usually have somewhat of a masculine edge to them, but Reid is really soft, and is strong in an emotional way instead of a physical one, and I love that.
With Garcia, I really love how well I can relate to her. Her method of coping with the darkness of her job by trying to always smile and live life with lots of color is similar to my own way of dealing with the personal issues I have. Even when my depression is at a high, I try to put on a colorful outfit and be friendly to people as a way to move past it. When I find a female character that I feel is similar to me, I get really excited because often I have trouble with that since a lot of times women are written poorly, so it's nice to have another one that I related to. Also, she's just very charming and funny, especially with Morgan!
Welp, I'm going to chill after this non-stop work, and take a nap once I've calmed down a bit.
