After a handful of tissues and a 2-hour romantic comedy with the ever-reliable Julia Roberts to unwind, I have to say--

It was intense! It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me yell at my screen, squee like a fangirl, and pee in my pants in the span of 58 minutes.

But I never failed to remember that this was a UK drama so... I kind of liked it.

*salutes Captain Jack Harkness*

Please don't hate me, Ash.

CHILDREN OF EARTH - Day 1 is BRILLIANT!

Ianto is AWWWW ♥ and I just want to squish him silly.
I miss Owen, but I'm also a little relieved he doesn't make me cry every. Single. Damn. Episode.
And Jack... is Jack. Which usually means me jumping in my seat and going OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG.

I'm going to have another heart attack because of this series.

I am making a new set of VK, Naruto (come on, long overdue SasuNaru reunion!) and random real and pretty stuff for semantiks. If only because of this one page and one line in ch. 49 of Vampire Knight.

( I love your hands on me, onii-sama. Tainted or not. )

Its not a spoiler. Its not incest. But it IS very very hot encouragement. *crosses finger for shirtless Kaname. Or at least an unbuttoned dress shirt*

P.S. I'm also open to making interest icons again. Just post 1-3 pictures here and let's see what I can do.

And please leave a comment! You know how recently debuted DA artists are hungry for them. ;)

I figure if I can get some buzz for more cutesy stuff, he might actually give in to my begging and pleading for more fluffy pink bunny art. LOL. And penguins too, of course! ♥

And because this is still one of my favorite 'doodles':

Thanks to my musical muses (you know who you are!), I present a lyrical story with double the Sasuke and Naruto yummy ♥!! Because Sims 3 may have awesome architectural potential and landscaping, but Sims 2 characters are still prettier!

And just because they're too good to NOT share:
( Outtakes and bloopers - Oh how I love free will in the game! )

Inspired by rebekkamaria's ... and older spunbymidnight's posts, here were the results of the Cursed Exile: Uchiha Sasuke Fanfiction Awards circa 2005 (ouch!). I can't guarantee all the links will work as I've copied this directly from the website I used to have. Whether it be the nitty gritty angsty stuff or the ridiculously fluffy and slashy -- these are still definitely still some of the best fandom reads on the net:



Category: Prodigy - Most Outstanding Overall Fanfiction If he's honest, if he looks underneath the underneath, Sasuke knows that there is no such thing as coming back.

I have never been a big fan of female characters in anime or manga, but I do make an exception for one.

( DOG's Naoto is HOT-- where can I get a dress like that? )

Also, I AM still faithful to Sims 2. Looks like the gossip might have been true and its extremely difficult (if not completely impossible) to create custom meshes in the game. I have to admit though, if I ever do get the game, it is for the spectacular architecture and landscape.

Alas, I seem to be lacking inspiration for a story in the game. So I was thinking: MUSIC PROMPT!
My dear flist, please PLEASE recommend a song to me! It could be one that makes you think of kick-ass girl power. It could be emo. It could even be your official summer 2009 song choice.

On that note, happy Midsummer Day for those who celebrate it this week (and this month in general)!

I should've been asleep over an hour ago but I suddenly remembered I was still kind of interested in this series so I caught up. All I want to say without going all spoilery is--

Kaname is sexy. OH HELL YESSSSSSSSSS! And dammit, he better get shirtless in the next few chapters.

*squishes pillow happily*

p.s. Naruto 450 - even if it was kind of a cheesy way to start a new arc, it definitely made the chapter less depressing than the first few pages which might as well have been stamped all over with "THE END IS NEAR!" ;_____;

OMG when I first saw this, I thought I missed that part in the anime. The CG done is THAT GOOD.

BE WARNED! This is total spoilers if you don't know the story about Itachi to-date. That means you empyrealrain.

EDIT: FFXIII TRAILER MAKES ME DROOL.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG *goosebumps*

Why didn't anyone tell me that Sasuke is pretty much NAKED in both the newest opening and end theme for Naruto Shippuden?!?!?!

I'd have done this sooner:


To my fellow Canadians, have a happy & long Victoria weekend!

Oh Sims 2, never leave me. <3

Warning: Picture intense! (50+)



( The truth about the Uchiha daughter )

I know, I know. This is totally far off canon (HET!OMG) as you can possibly get but... ha! There! Finally her origins revealed while filling in the gap in my Sasuke II's timeline with pretty pics and a partially angsty (WTF) story to go with it! Looking at it now, there's no denying I was pulling a big BSG arc here for inspiration. Then again, what better source is out there now that could beat that kind of quality, painfully angsty storytelling?

I ♥ VINCENT VALENTINE FTW my boyfriend x 100 :D:D:D



( It's Christmas in April (in Finland)! )

This is probably my only SIM post for the month (tragic, I know) so here's a hodgepodge of mini SIM stories till the next (presumably more epic) one.

( Last year's 'may be's bring new babies! )

( Uchihas out on the town )

( Pretty boy meets Skater girl )

( Naru!twins = secretly evil partners in BFF breakups? )

Hi! I'm bored. My bags are packed and I've got nothing left to do but wait now. How is everyone?

I'm thinking that at this rate, I should post the 'real' icons seperately from the anime/manga at semantiks. If only so there's more than one thing to scroll.

Still have some more Naruto, Loveless, Miyaken, probably some Okada and Tahmoh Penikett to be done. Until then, here's what I have so far:

( experimenting with pretty )

deaxolff, spunbymidnight, would you mind telling me what fandoms I've covered (will cover)? LOL, you know, so I don't just list them as 'random pretty.'

Not all stories have to be angsty. Some can just be... sweet. Beautiful in all its little moments. And sometimes, just sometimes, I like to have some fluffy sexy fun with my SIM couples.

( Don't you still dream in happily ever afters? )

WARNING: this one's a little risque
( Too late to stop, got your heart in a headlock )

( Random cutesy shots )

So this was the second episode I've seen (and ONLY so I had something to distract me from the fact that the 2-hour series finale of Battlestar Galactica is playing AT THIS VERY MOMENT) and I only saw the last half, but it was definitely a MUCH better episode than what I saw last week. There was sex, there was fighting, there was a big hot manly man and OHHH look at how the shirt CLINGS to his chest... his oh-so-sweaty chest.

*cough*

I am totally watching JUST for Tahmoh Penikett, who pretty much confirmed himself as Joss Whedon's Nathan Fillion replacement favorite new boy toy. The other 'dolls' (Sierra and ...Victor?) are kind of growing on me too. And the one that watches Echo. But everyone else is still rather XDDDDD

*starts browsing for Tahmoh Penikett caps*

BTW, I created a new LJ to house my future, non-restricted-to-anime icons. Look forward to debuting semantiks in the next month or so. I have things to wrap up by the end of this month first. :p

Meanwhile, I have no idea what the hell they're talking about and I don't really care because his voice is SOOO SEXY it gave me goosebumps and OMG I'VE NEVER WANTED TO PULL A ZIPPER OF A HOODY SO BADLY.

*whimpers and claws at screen*

I feel kind of cheated that this chapter focused on something fandom knew, like, 200+ chapters ago. But awwwww! A little fluffy interlude never hurt.

Bwahahaha -- it made me think though: when Naruto and Sasuke meet again, does this mean their epic fight scene is REALLY just hot and heavy foreplay?

...

Just sayin'
