So it's kind of a quiet day at work, and I figured I might as well do two things: first, signal-boost for

Since Yuletart is over, I wanted to get in the last batch of recs:

. the frozen charm | stardust - there's something almost unsettling about this picture, and the way it looks like the figures might move when you glance away. I love the soft pencils.

. last minute shopping | persona 4 - the movement and personality in this piece is so strong, ( Read more... )

Incidentally, I'd like to join the rest of you in giving 2009 a sound boot in its smug, resentful, withholding ass on its way out the door. So long, year, and never come back.

. harold and kumar and maria and vanessa go to bed. together. | harold and kumar - wow, I haven't even seen the second movie yet and can't remember/don't know what the ( Read more... )

Yay, they did something with the archive and now I can go through the Yuletide stories in no particular order!!

. we should have met in finavir | tigana - I am not really one for fixer-upper fics, but so *much* went to hell in Tigana that it's nice to have one, especially for the inexplicably hot Dianora and Brandin.

. a matter of convenience | ( Read more... )

Back to Yuletart:

. the seasonal crossover massacre | middleman/umbrella academy - people with this sort of clean cartooning do such neat things when they fill a page to bursting!

. feel the sting of the monarchs! | the venture brothers - I don't know this fandom at all but the art sure is pretty.

. gelflings | the dark crystal - softly-rounded ( Read more... )

Yuletide:

. but not forgotten | watchmen - a fig of a story, plump and so rich it's almost nauseating. All of the different elements of Dan are in here so brilliantly, his intellectual primness and hot desire and wistful longing, and playing that off Rorschach is one of my favourite things for this fandom.

. shadows and shade | watchmen - if you ( Read more... )

Back to popslash:

. public relations - the group banter in this one reminded me of one of Jae's stories. I know it's not really good form to compare authors, but seriously, Jae's group banter is my favourite kind, so that is a high compliment!

. the most craziest wonderful time of the year - there's something very jagged about this story, ( Read more... )

Yuletart recs:

. hobbit wonderland | lord of the rings - it looks like felted Hobbit art, all cheery and homespun!

. what do stars do best?! | stardust - Don't know the movie, but it made me laugh!

. citadel | world of warcraft - This is just lovely -- such delicate and evocative watercolours, which I absolutely didn't expect for this fandom ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention in the last post that Lori and I watched the 1978 teleplay of Little Women, which was inconceivably bad. They rewrote shit to concentrate more on their Laurie's whiny-ass manpain life and problems, Marmee was incapable of making a decision and yammered endlessly about how she wished Mr. March was there to lay down some ( Read more... )

I know I may have missed thanking people individually, but thank you all so much for the happy birthday wishes! I really needed them this year due to having a huge and stressful fight with the parents on my birthday, which turned out best in the long run but was still pretty draining to have on Christmas Eve, as you can imagine ( Read more... )
