I was looking forward to YOI Week* on tumblr, but it looks like I'm going to have to pass on it completely. I'll stick to writing Chocolate Box treats instead.

( More about that )

Had some conversations with anon(s) on the subject of Guang Hong's home city, + miscellaneous LeoJi stuff. Just going to dump my brain all over that....

( Continued )

I'm feeling really cranky right now, so I'm just going to braindump some ideas about Leo and Guang Hong and Leo/Guang Hong. Because apparently Yuri on Ice braindumps are how I make myself feel better these days.

I actually haven't played the ( Read more... )

After years of possible sketches and hints, Hetalia finally has Czech Republic and Slovakia, as of yesterday's strip.

Original | Hetascans translationWell, it's nice to have final designs, and a strip to go with them! Even if the designs are much different from what I was hoping for. ...I'm rather glad that I only wrote the one fic with Czechia; ( Read more... )

I watched The Wild Strawberries (1957) recently (ish). It's the fourth Bergman film I've seen; the other four were thus: The Seventh Seal (1957), Persona (1966), and Saraband (2003). Considering the huge number of films he's directed, it isn't much of a sampling. But so far, I have so many mixed feelings about his movies. The only one I've really, ( Read more... )

Observation: Between 1914 and 1919, war and influenza claimed more than a million lives in Britain alone. Conclusion: This is a time for ghosts.

So, I watched The Awakening (2011) with the horror movie gang this evening. [IMDBIt's a ghost story set in an English boarding school a few years after the end of the First World War. The central ( Read more... )
