So beautiful it hurts to look
I just spend the last 10+ hours straight working on artwork for the marvel-bang Yeah, I said I didn't want to do this kind of thing right now, not tie me down etc. for lack of time etc. And I believed that when I said it.
... But then I was out of the internets for a while... and I was stressed, and a bit annoyed and generally frustrated with lots of unreleased energy, and life of a grown up person is really tough and demands stupid attention... so then I got back on the internets one night. I thought let's do something else altogether, because you don't have the time for anything your friends have done lately anyway... and there was the artist claiming post for the marvel-bang. And I looked, just to see what I was missing really. Just to hurt myself by counting how often that one pairing that I hate will be written. And stuff happened. Actually so fast I had no time to get any defense mechanisms started. It's always that way, no? I did not see that one coming. I suppose I should have. Maybe. I was surprised though. But it's fun. It's a beautiful, melancholy story. And it... it's like it was written for me. You can tell from details.
So yeah, it's Steve, of course - why would I want to do anything that's not him, and it's someone else, someone that's not Bucky, and not Peggy, and not Wade. ... Someone super-popular. And you know what I'm like with super-popular things, I dislike them out of spite. And now, after looking at all those pictures, and reading the story, and drawing, now I like him. I know him for years really, first time I saw him was in unexpected circumstances that probably very few fans of today have seen him in, and I never thought that way about him. And now I do. Dammit.
Anyway, posting time is Wednesday, and I'm nervous.
Also, lol @ all the other football fans who think they're oh so much better. See how we care :)
