{look upon my works, ye mighty}

So, as a result of the Dumbledore thing, I found out that Roger/Thom is canon (Alanna the Lionness series) which is also confirmed by the author here, that Warren Ellis doesn't get why it took so long for people to realize that Midnighter/Apollo IS canon and that Hugh Laurie, House's actor, would be willing to do a House/Wilson plot. Also, Hugh Laurie sounds like Blackadder. Worrying, that.

Oh yeah. Definitely a good time to be a slasher. Canon everywhere looks favorably upon us!

I am happy. ♥ I love it when fandom AND canon make me happy.

And to share the happiness, here's a meme I snagged from cairnsy:

For the first three people that reply to me and re-post this challenge, I will send you something. It will be random and awesome, or perhaps just lame. Whatever it is, I promise that I will get it to you in 365 days or fewer.

The only thing you need to do in order to participate is to be one of the first three to reply to this, AND post this very same thing on YOUR LiveJournal - cause it's fun to give people stuff.

And I'll be watchin' my f-list to make sure you re-post! Because I am a stalker.

To counteract that happiness, here's a meme from a_white_rain who is made of pure crack and making me read Tokyo Babylon and cheering on my Slade/Terra and Terra/Raven love:

Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return, I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

Anyone who dares asks for three bits of thiefshipping will SUFFER, I swear it. ^_~ fan_dancer, have yourself a ball with this :P

Edit: Auction of Wonder Woman Art with proceeds going to domestic violence shelters. The world is made of pure WIN at the moment. ♥

I got an e-mail from the girl commissioned to draw me a Ryuuji/Terry pic at AnimeBoston (I also commissioned a Seto/Ryuuji one from a different artist) and she included a scan of the pic so far! And because I know there are other people who ship Ryuuji/Terry on my flist *coughs at ego_chan, pikachumaniac, 9tails, abrandnewboom and witchwillow, I'm sticking up the lineart here for all of you to see!

( Shiiiiiiny! )

First of all, many a thousand thanks to mlleelizabeth for the candy hearts, and to daemonsadvocate for the flowers. Liz, if you want a drabble, all you have to do is ask. ♥ And now onto to the drabbles that I promised. I might do the secondary requests later, but I just wanted to get these up first to make sure everyone had something for them on V-Day.

For shantih: ( You know, the hardest part about writing Stephen/River is the way that I keep feeling like I ought to research Chinese phrases to use. XD )

For ryuutchi: ( My heart's divided. )

For abrandnewboom, whose Xmas card I just received today!: ( Trowa had never really understood the point of romance anyway. )

For witchwillow, who is hopefully better and enjoying her new computer: ( Say it with flowers? )

Edit: Eeeeek! Just got the notification of the giftie from nekokilala as well. *huggles* Thank you so much, doll. *writes you a quick Seto/Ryuuji drabble based on the anti-fairy-tale universe*

For nekokilala: ( As one love dies. )

First of all, here's a little logic puzzle for everyone out there. Took me less than five minutes to solve it, so I bet most of you can do it as well. All comments are screened by default, and I'll unscreen those that don't have the answer. *shall offer a drabble or icon to anyone that gets it right though she's still writing out Xmas fics* No cheating and trying to Google it!

Once A, B & C went to a restaurant. After having tea and light refreshment they asked for bill, the amount of bill was $30 They decided to pay the bill amount on equal share. Everybody took out $10 from their pocket and paid the bill.

They were yet sitting and gossiping in restaurant, Suddenly the waiter realized that the amount of their bill was $25 not $30

He took $5 from counter and decided to return them. Then he thought they are 3 how will they share $5? So he has decided to keep $2 to him and return only $3 to them. He came to their table and returned them $3 with apology. Everybody took $1 and put in their pockets.

Now my question is first time everyone paid $10 later they get $ 1 refunded.

So everybody paid $9
$9 * 3 = $27

The waiter put $2 in his pocket.
$27 + $2 = $29

So, where is the remaining $1?


Rules: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog post of their own - 10 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

10 Weird Things About Me

1. I love complicated/weird color names. Red, blue, green -- they sound boring to me. I want crimson, scarlet, carmine. Or cornflower blue, prussian blue, or marine blue. Or mineral green, emerald green, or olive green. I especially love the two-word colors, like cornflower blue, which is always my default font color on MSN. I even have some of the colors listed in my interests in my profile.

( The list goes on. )

My tags for this meme:

fairly_grimm, nevita, ego_chan, xinda, a_white_rain, and nyrehtak.

Does anyone know why it's always six people that get tagged? I'd think that ten would be more appropriate in this case.

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, RHYTHMBOX etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
7. When you're finished tag some other people to do it!

Since I'm nice, I'm going the extra mile and uploading these songs onto yousendit to share with you guys. Well, that and I promised nevita music a while ago and never actually uploaded it, so this'll be a very delayed feel-better giftie to her.

Opening Credits: Coming Too Close -- No Use For A Name.

That's a little too depressed for how I currently feel? But if we're looking at my life overall, yeah, sure, I guess that'll work.

Waking Up: Once Upon A Dream -- Sleeping Beauty Disney soundtrack.

...I'm not making this up, I swear.

First Day of School: One Last Chance -- Hercules Disney soundtrack.

Again, not making this up! This being the song that Phil sings when Hercules begs him for training. XD

Falling in Love: Hang On To Your IQ -- Placebo.

I suppose that means I'm meant to stay smart even when swept off my feet? It's a reasonable enough demand.

Fight Song: Son of a Preacher -- Janis Joplin.

Okay, accurate streak ends here. I mean, okay, this song is talking about being pretty much untouchable but how is anyone supposed to argue to this, let alone fight? Unless it's in super-slow-motion or something.

Breaking Up: Now Or Never -- Elvis Presley.

I used to love his songs when I was little. Though if this is meant to be a break up song, that must mean that it was 'never' as opposed to 'now'.

Prom: Limerick -- Kathy and Amila.

Uh. That's a recording that Kathy and I made at 4:04AM, having finally finished watching all of Gundam Wing. *cracking up while listening to it* This probably doesn't count as a song, but hey, it came up, so it's fair game. And despite the title, there isn't actually a limerick in it, though I know that I recorded one with her that had to do with me killing her.

Life: For The Longest Time -- Billy Joel.

Yeah. ♥ This is also what I consider the perfect flippantshipping (Mai/Ryuuji) song because it's all light-hearted and romantic and so casually happy.

Driving: Who's The Fool Now? -- Rocking Horse Winners.

Gods, trust me, if I ever try driving again, I probably will end up looking like a fool in jail.

Flashback: All Fired Up -- Pat Benatar.

This is actually a really good fight/energy-maximiser song. Fast-paced, upbeat, and strong. I used to listen to it to make me feel more awake in the mornings.

Getting Back Together: Basket Case -- Green Day.

That's not encouraging at all. But I love this song because the first time I heard it was when Alessandro and his band played it in the Octogon on the last day for school for the Grade 12s (a year above me, what you'd call the seniors in America), and I liked Aless. Matt introed me to him, and he made enough of an impression on me for me to bother typing up some convos with him and Matt for future reading.

Wedding: Oh Starry Night -- Sailor Moon soundtrack.

Don'tjudgeme. *dies* I remember being fourteen and singing along passionately to this, very off-key of course.

Party: Accidentally In Love -- Shrek 2 Soundtrack.

Oh, I remember when I bought this soundtrack, I used to pace around while listening to this. Then my younger cousin, Devi-Monkey, would imitate me. And I'd touch the doorframes and wall at each opposing end of the room when pacing, and if I missed one, she'd go "No! You have to touch it!". Because otherwise it must have felt incomplete to her. *loves her little cousin so much* Most adorable little brat ever.

Birth of A Child: Bank of Boston Beauty Queen -- Dresden Dolls.

I technically cheated a little on this since what came up was actually the Highway Blues sax solo that everyone gets with Windows Media Player, so I didn't think it was worth uploading a sample that everyone has, so I just hit skip to get to the next song.

Final Battle: Swabber -- Flogging Molly.

The only lyrics to this song that's nearly pure music is "Don't know where I'm going." Which means either I got lost on the way to the final battle, I died and don't know what the afterlife holds, or I won and have no idea what the next step is.

Couldn't find out where it's stored, so can't upload it either, sorry.

Funeral Song: Both Reached For The Gun -- Chicago Soundtrack.

At least it explains how I die!

Ending Credits: Mr. Self Destruct -- Nine Inch Nails.

Everyone has this song already, I'm sure. I got it because someone used the lyrics for a Heero wallpaper that I liked, so I wanted to hear it. And it does actually fit him pretty well. XD

Tag: nevita, mirrored_echo, pikachumaniac, xinda, fairly_grimm, nyrehtak, ego_chan, sorshawolf, a_white_rain and vermultitude, . But don't feel like you also have to go to the trouble of uploading songs!

Link of the Day: My Parents Are DEAD!

It explains everything you need to know about Batman. Really. Go read it.

On a totally different note, Yami no Malik's tongue makes me happy in a lot of wrong ways. It's just so red and they bothered detailing it and giving it a shine and a sort of pointy tip and seriously, how many villains do you know that can look scarily psycho while sticking their tongue out?

I'll be flying back to Austria on the 22nd of December, and returning on the 2nd of January. People who are currently receiving an Xmas card or whatnot from me are:

I jumped the gun a little and posted the last one early, but that doesn't mean I'll be posting them in reverse order or anything. Also, I still have to do Yuletide. >_> Deadline coming up, along with all my papers...

It shames me it took over an hour to do that.

Anyway, if you snag, please credit text fuzzybluelogic icon fickle_goddess. I'll post it on bad_rpers_suck later if fuzzybluelogic gives me permission, along with a sad woeful installment of MORE Dryad-hate. *cannot figure out why they attract so much trouble*
