Rereading keelywolfe's epic Hobbit fanfic The Road Delivered Us Home, and was inspired to do watercolour fanart of Thorin peeling carrots in Bilbo's kitchen.

I really enjoyed painting his mermaid hair.

Oh my God, it's done.


Inspired by a link to the spatial history of trapdoors in this post. Eames is ambushed and roughed up in his own dream. Arthur and his RAGE come to the rescue. You can tell it’s Eames’ dream, because the projections are giant paisley monsters. This only serves to feed Arthur's RAGE.

I have been struck with the flu for the past two days, so I figured it was time to finish the list of Major Hollywood Films petronia Has Previously Reviewed But I Never Watched for Some Stupid Reason, viz. Atonement, X-Men First Class, Thor and Captain America.

It was really enjoyable to watch all the Marvel films so close together. But unlike the Big Bads of the other two, Loki is just not Marvel-villainy enough for me*. I want to hug him and give him a smooch on his sulky face which is really all he wants, isn't it? All of us boring mortals instantly diagnosed him with second-child syndrome, and because he hails from the LAND OF MANLY VIKINGS (and it was vital to the plot, I guess) not a single person in the whole movie realised it. Between him and Sif, Asgard seems surprisingly backward for such a Clarkian level of technology.

This isn't really a review; I think I need to see all these films again to really parse them. The actual point of this post is: TONY STARK/STEVE ROGERS--I CAN HAS RECS PLZ?? Because Dominic Cooper was hot and looked kinda like Bucky and Peggy was a brilliant brunette who was good with guns and clearly Steve has a TYPE.

*Am I actually complaining that a villain is well-rounded? Sorry. You could argue that Frost Giant Alpha was the Big Bad of that film, but he was so arbitrary I can only think of him as a minor character. Asano Tadanobu got more screen time.

Does anyone have any? Because I just watched the movie again, and after reading the Temeraire novels and Monstrous Regiment, and watching the Star Trek movie, I remembered how desperately I NEEDED Jim-at-Space-Academy fic. Officers train separately from 'common' cadets but classes are brought together during exercises, mess-hall and dormitory hijinks ensue, lifelong friendships are formed &c.

I bravely plunged into the Pit of Voles and was promptly devoured whole by Mary Sues. Not a slashfic in sight, either. It's awful and frustrating. Help, please?

Oscars last night. Watching the Oscars is like eating candy floss--lots of fun, but by the time you get to the end you're sick of it. Also, I wonder if the Academy only watch ten movies every year. Jon Stuart was brilliant though.

Made the puppet heads for the Invisible Cities project! Posting a few of my favourites:

Hmm, I wonder if I could make icons out of a couple of these...

I don't write reviews very well, so my 2p isn't even worth 2p, but...

HOLY SHIT GOBLET OF FIRE. SO MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

Who sent DanRad back to acting school, and may I sign away my soul to them PLEASE.

*has fits*

WATCH IT WATCH IT WATCH IT. You have never seen or read Harry Potter. I don't care. WATCH THIS MOVIE.
