marvel - cuddlyface
Okay, Marvel fans of the flist (all three of you), I am having a problem. As usual, I am having a timeline problem, because it is one of those things that, as a fangirl, I am far more worried about than the people who made the movie are. I am trying to work out some kind of functional timeline of the nebulous period between Raven and Charles in the kitchen and Raven and Charles in England (which is quite a long time, actually, now that I look at it).

But this is the problem I keep running up against on the various Marvel wikis:
A natural genius, Charles completed high school at sixteen. He attended Oxford University accompanied by Raven. He earned Ph.D.s in Genetics, Biophysics, and Psychology. After completing his thesis on genetic mutation, he was approached by Agent Moira MacTaggert [etc.]

Is any of this canon? Because I don't remember it. There are several Marvel wikis, but this particular article is copied verbatim on all of them. It seems like imported canon at best and an ass-pull at the worst.

I'm not crazy, right? Like, I'm pretty sure that's something I wouldn't have missed.

(I'm not going to all this semi-frantic effort to write D/s AU, why would you even think I was?)
vb - slash friends
So here is the five minute comment fic meme, stolen, as one does, from [livejournal.com profile] pocky_slash and [personal profile] schmerica:

1. Clear your schedule for five minutes (or longer if you have time, I'm not gonna turn down more fic).
2. Then look under the cut tag, where you will find ten prompts, all of which are song titles (selected at random from my iPod WMP library).
3. Choose one of the prompts, and - using any appropriate fandom/character[s] (meaning ones you think I might enjoy) - write.
4. Reply with your teeny weeny story in the comments to this post.
5. Repost this in your journal and make your friends write for you!

This says an unfortunate amount about my musical tastes. )

Ohhh dear.

Oh my god, you guys, three times in as many days, I have gotten kudos notifications on stories and gone, "...what the hell story is that? Did I write something called that?"

So it is past time to do this meme again.

Pop quiz! Pick a sentence or so from anything I've written (consult the AO3), and I'll see if I can identify it. Be brutal, but we will have none of this "Jesus wept" crap. I'm expecting at least ten words here.

Also, for real though, brain, if I'm going to write kinky Charles/Erik, you've got to give me something better than frustrated!dominant!bottom Charles and clueless!newbie!Erik. It's only the frustrated and clueless parts that bother me, mind. But STEP UP YOUR GAME.

So someone(s) did actually ask for a translation of Cant. IMHO it's not actually necessary to know the vocabulary to get the gist of the story, but here we go anyway.

I was just looking for soothing pictures of my future husband, James McAvoy, and then this:

stargate - linguist rage
Okay, I wrote the sad alternate ending where Erik and Charles fall slowly out of love. I wrote the post-canon story with Magda and Azazel and death and noncon and memory wiping. I even wrote the one with Charles Xavier, grand puppetmaster of Xavier Mansion, and the one where Erik flips his shit over consent play.

But FUCK you, story. You are a dystopian hooker AU where Erik is the BIGGEST CREEPER WHO EVER LIVED and Charles is SO DAMAGED and Raven is SO ANGRY and oh god you are only 800 words long and you are already completely heartbreaking and SO depressing.

Get the fuck out of my brain, because you are persona non fucking grata around here.

I am thisclose to deleting this gdoc in protest. I CANNOT BE HAVING WITH THIS. I HAVE TO START STUDYING FOR COMPS TOMORROW.

Why can't I write something happy.

A/N: So, my gdocs has gotten totally out of control, right? Not because of the number of stories (not that that's good either), but because I've given up entirely on giving things names that relate to what's actually in the document and just started naming them whatever silly shit comes to mind. It's actually worse than this now, because I just started working on "Raven Darkholme got to get paid." So here is what was labeled "everybody in the club getting tipsy." As one does.

Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me )
marvel - in this bitch
This began completely... innocently is absolutely the wrong word. But it was not complicated. I was trying to write a description of this sexual position (NSFW), which is not a big deal.

And then everything got COMPLETELY out of hand.

(2:09:12 AM) sabinelagrande: (god, anatomy. I'm going to just draw a tiny picture and insert it into the text)
(2:10:41 AM) sabinelagrande: (I feel like I am describing this in the least sexy way possible, to boot)
(2:11:18 AM) dizmo: Ahahah.
(2:11:39 AM) sabinelagrande: stick figures. I'm going to do it with stick figures
(2:11:46 AM) sabinelagrande: WHERE IS MS PAINT I WILL ACTUALLY DO THIS
(2:12:14 AM) sabinelagrande: I WON'T EVEN USE PHOTOSHOP WE ARE ROLLING OLD SCHOOL
(2:12:24 AM) dizmo: SWEET.
The transcript, continued )

And now, the moment you've been waiting for, my grand masterpiece. Cut for naked stick figures )

This is why I will fail my comps.

PS: It didn't help.

Icons!

Jan. 19th, 2012 09:13 pm
marvel - darwin's :D face
I don't often do the icon thing, because 1) I really couldn't care less about fancy filtery things and tons of lorem ipsum everywhere; I just like making nice pictures of hot people smaller 2) it triggers my obsessive tendencies something FIERCE; I will be up til 6 AM going, "Seven of these pixels are wrong and they're STARTING TO MOCK ME" 3) I have very little actual technical ability with photoshop. I am willing to go as far as using the Extract filter. After that, I can't be buggered.

But if I wanted icons of any combination of Raven, Charles, and Erik except Erik/Charles, by god I was going to have to make them myself. So here are some icons! We have, under the cut, 6 Erik/Raven, 4 Charles/Raven, 2 Darwin, 1 Ororo, 1 Emma, and one Erik/Charles/Raven. You are not tripping balls: Some of them are the same thing with or without borders or text, and all of them are poorly photoshopped. You can tell by some of the pixels.

Nice pictures of hot people made smaller )

marvel - makeouts
This is why I must be stopped: because now I am dreaming about Magneto.

First I dreamt very vividly that Ian McKellen died, and oh my god I was overcome with grief. He's never allowed to actually die now, at least not before me. I have seen how I will react. It isn't pretty.

Then last night, I dreamt that Erik Lehnsherr gave me a back massage to Bohemian Rhapsody while I was candy flipping.

It sounds so much like I created that sentence with a random word generator.

But then we had to leave, for some reason, and we went to the store. We were talking about gender socialization and separation of "male" and "female" domains in store displays while we were looking at the Halloween clearance aisle, and then my dad was there, and he was like, WTF is this shit, and I'm like, Dad, you don't understand my work.

And we were in Denver, and we had just gotten back from the club to the hotel room and gone to bed (in a completely platonic way, because I never get laid in my dreams). All the hallways were really small, and I was having this long inner monologue about state nomenclature. And my dad was there again, and I was like, Dad, me and Erik are trying to get some sleep, you need to go home.

And we got up, and for some reason we were famous- I mean, we had been famous this whole time, we didn't wake up famous. And I'm watching us on the morning shows and talking to my producer, and I'm like, this bitch on Fox News is getting every single thing we told her wrong, and ze was like, I know, right?

And then Charles was there, and they were having some kind of competition involving random number generators. And this led to trying to open competing cafes in the same town? And then my alarm started going off, which is when I became convinced that this was all evidence about how we should take down JSTOR.

If I knew, I would tell you. I think the reason that it bothers me the most is that I'm a Charles girl.

Also yesterday, because Wikipedia is down and it is knowledge Lent, I calculated whether I was taller than Charles Xavier. By my calculations, yes, because Patrick Stewart is an inch taller than me, but James McAvoy is two inches shorter, so Charles Xavier must be half an inch shorter than me. QED

I was not the one on twitter to ask if that was sitting or standing. But you know we were all thinking about it, because we are horrible, HORRIBLE people, every last one of us.

But Erik is much taller than me. That is comforting.

Oh, flist. I assure you that, one day, this too shall pass, and I will go back to SGA or Doctor Who or something. But I've gotten to the point where I don't want to make new friends, right, just because we share a fandom. There are cool people I want to meet, but IDGAF if they want to prattle on about Sherlock or Supernatural or something, just as long as we like each other. And I think, like, if you don't have that philosophy, it's totally legit if you defriend me. But I probably won't defriend you, because if I've got you friended at this point, it's because I think we're friends, not just people who like the same thing.

That got serious for a moment. Let's go back to baby sloths taking a bath.

You guys, this has been me, all day, as [personal profile] arymabeth can attest:

"Oh, that's a good idea for a story, I should- oh, no, I already wrote that. Hmm, but some of this sounds good- oh, that too. Goddammit. Maybe a little- OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE."

There is nothing new under the sun.

So I've been thinking I should just



but I don't know, y'know?

Let me explain this: podfic is what I do because I can't vid. These two things are not in any way comparable, but the underlying motivations are very simple. I don't have the attention span to vid, right? Like, you have to learn to do a lot of things, and it seems to take a lot of time, and I want to hit it and quit it. I am a rat hitting a pellet machine, over here.

But I fear that no one will ever make the Brotherhood ass-kickery video to Saints of Los Angeles that must be made for mankind to be truly complete. So.

So I do podfic, and nobody ever listens to it, but at least it's really fast. Like, I have government training to this shit. The government did not train me well, and they mostly trained me in hardware design, but by god they trained me to do it fast. And I really like to podfic, but my setup is, frankly, atrocious. I don't do it much, so I can't justify buying something nicer, but if I had something nicer, I'd do it more, and so on in that fashion.

I had a point. I... don't remember what it was. Shit. There was something in there about fanmixes, too. Love me some fanmixes. No one ever comments on them, but I love crafting them so much I really don't care.

Um. Something. IDK. No idea what story I should read next. Suggestions welcome.

A/N: God, people. I have this terrible weakness, right? Because whenever someone says "Someone should write X" or "Why do I never see more of Y?" I go directly to Gdocs, because I am Wish Fulfillment Man! By day, a lowly graduate assistant; by night, purveyor of questionable pornography and filler of kinky requests everywhere! (And this is why I don't do kink memes anymore. I have a job.) So this is [personal profile] helens78's fault. Okay. Now I am really going to write the thing that's overdue, I promise, you guys.

"I feel like a million tonight- but one at a time." - Mae West
So there are two things I'm writing, a thing I'm supposed to write, and I should have been in bed two hours ago, but here is this instead.

Nobody ever said Magento wasn't sassy and a little stereotypical. Let's clear that up. )
Booster Gold, text "Bite my glorious golden ass"
Okay, okay, I have other things to post about, but it's late, they're long, and they have to go under flock. So instead here are two short, amusing notes:

1. I want to write the story of Magento, the fabulous alternate universe Magneto, so very hard, you guys. You have NO idea. Unfortunately, nobody thinks it's hilarious but me. You just don't know, y'all.

2. OMG I have a glorious [livejournal.com profile] gyakusai_swap present! Go very quickly here and see the absolutely glorious Pearl and Maya art that [livejournal.com profile] cannedebonbon made for me. It is completely lovely and must be appreciated forthwith.

OKAY I AM SLEEPING NOW. Because tomorrow is for writing for exchanges and poss. making the house not look like a bomb went off in it (unlikely). <3 <3 <3
Abby and McGee
Pick up the nearest book to you. Turn to page 45. The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.

I'm cheating a little. The closest book is the deluxe edition of Bad As Me, but that's not paginated (thank god, honestly, because I don't really want Tom Waits to describe anything about my sex life); and the second-closest book is a National Parks guide with a hundred pages of maps at the beginning, which I think means I would have to have sex in Lassen, and it's just too cold right now to do that (though, remind me to tell you my friend's story about the people who made porn at Zion).

So here is the third-closest book, my beloved copy of Idylls of the King from 1923 that is going to fall apart the next time someone breathes on it too heavily:

'Let Lancelot know, my King, let Lancelot know, Thy noblest and thy truest!'

Well, shit, if that's all I have to do, that's not so bad.

Don't know how I'm going to get a message to a fictional medieval knight. We'll worry about that later. Maybe I'll tweet at him.
