drawing! today was supposed to be our final grade day for this first pose, but we did the critique and then he gave us another week to fix it up even more. \o/? I really don't have a lot to do with mine. darken a few things, straighten my horizon line, that's about it. I was actually impressed with the progress a lot of other people made; there ( Read more... )

I read that fic too, and I really enjoyed it! I got super into everything that was going on, and I was disappointed when I ended up having to go to class about halfway through and had to wait to finish it. LOL

I totally need to get moving on bbb too /o\ I think I'm farther than I was last time we talked, but not by much. That's what I'll be doing this week and next whenever I'm not OMG OVERWHELMED with homework.

HEE! ikr, it was like a constant hum of WHAT HAPPENS NEXT in the back of my mind all weekend until I could finish reading it.

oh dude, I haven't even written anything at all. DDDD: so yeah, I need to do homework, and then write like crazy to meet that deadline. but I'm signed up to do bbb art too, so that should be really fun.

I know it's a short fic but I've always wondered about The Kids Are All Fucked Up because it's got such a premise that is just left of canon and Frank and Gerard seem to have a really strange relationship especially with how Mikey is about it and the way Gerard reacts when he talks about Jamia.

Mikey comes in a few minutes later. Gerard doesn’t move, and he doesn’t bother with tugging the blanket up over Frank’s ass. Frank won’t care. Mikey hands him a beer bottle; it’s more than half gone. Gerard leans up on his elbow to take a sip without choking or spilling on the bed.

“That was kind of fucked up,” Mikey murmurs. He sits down cross-legged at the foot of the bed.

Frank snuggles closer at Gerard’s movement and tangles their legs together. Gerard looks down at his face, the soft curve of Frank’s cheek where it meets his own pale skin, and nods. “He’s kind of fucked up, I think,” he adds quietly, and it’s true. Frank would be the first to admit that.

Er... I know that was short of a short fic so if you'd rather this bit from Guilt. If this pushy just tell me.
Gerard grabs the front of his shirt and slams him into the bar, pushing down so Frank’s bent backwards over it. “Don’t you fucking call me that,” he hisses. He doesn’t hold Frank there; he lets go a second later, reaches into his pocket to toss a wad of money onto the bar, and disappears ( ... )

not pushy at all! I'm... pretty much a self-important asshole when it comes to fic, so I will take any excuse to talk about it. hahaha. I'll address this one first, since it's a little easier ( ... )

I love hearing writers talk about their stories *g*

I really liked the Bob/Frank friendship in Guilt and how Frank has to confess what he's done because Bob, like everybody at the time, jumped to the logical conclusion that Gerard had been the one in the wrong when it was really Frank pushing and pushing him. Frank finally admitting aloud what he'd done, that he was the one who had turned Gerard's life upside down was really a big thing for him. I remember the first I read this I was really surprised that Frank tracked Gerard down after he broke down with Bob. I like to think the story would have a happy ending but there is so much standing the way.

Since I am rereading this right now, tell me about this part from Promises, Promises:

“Should I let you clean up before we get out of here? Or do you want to walk around like this?”

“Please let me clean up,” Frank whispered.

“Maybe I should just leave you tied up next time I go out,” Gerard mused.

“No!”

“Why shouldn’t I?”

“No, don’t, please,” Frank cried. He remembered vividly the horrible ache in his chest from being abandoned like that, the loneliness and the uncertainty, and the more physical ache in his shoulders from being unable to move for hours on end. “I’ll be good, I promise,” he said. “Please don’t leave me like that again, please.”

Gerard reached around to the back seat and pulled out the makeup kit. He tossed it into Frank’s lap. “Clean yourself up,” he said coldly, “and don’t piss me off.”

Hmmmmm. Well, let's see. I'll start by saying I really really love the dynamic of 24/7 BDSM relationships, and I definitely used this fic to explore writing that dynamic, even though some of it was not-quite-consensual. In this particular bit, Frank is definitely a willing participant. He's being punished, yes, but in his mind, he deserves it and he wants to make it up to Gerard ( ... )
