ALRIGHT so I realized I haven't drawn Harry Potter fan art in years for realsies. And I figured, well gee, I should probably get on that. But then I realized I didn't have a clue who I should draw. Since at least 85% of my flist are/were Harry Potter fans, I figured I'd hold a vote: WHO DO YOU, MY DARLING DEAREST FRIENDS, WANT TO SEE?

ROGER CLYNE. AND THE PEACEMAKERS. ARE PLAYING. THIS SHOW. RCPM. FOR SERIOUS.


FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKKKKKKKKKK I NEED TO GET TO ARIZONA. FML.

An empty heart is the heaviest weight to hold.

Christmas is soon! Aka GIFTMAS. Money is of course tight, so I will be gift giving with pictures instead. Tell me the kinds of things you like, OC descriptions if you want me to draw a character, favorite characters and pairings from fandoms, etc.

I know it goes "better to give than to receive" but reciprocity is a wonderful thing too, so I'll be listing stuff I like too in a later post :3

I'm going to making a post later on for people to post either screened or anonymous comments, in case anyone feels weird about making a request public for some reason.

BUT YAY HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY FELLOW AMERICANS. EAT DELICIOUS FOOD, DON'T KILL YOUR FAMILY, ETC.

OH MY GOD, ROGER CLYNE & THE PEACEMAKERS, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

This is the greatest band in the world. IDGAF what any of you say.

It's good to enjoy and embrace life, celebrate love, and take what comes to you for what it is. I can't describe how connected to the universe I feel when I listen to their songs.

LOLOLOLOL Explosion OF LOVE. A friend of mine ACTUALLY likes this band. For ONCE. I am giddy. Everyone's gotta hate on 'em but they are wonderful.

Seriously I get so excited when it comes to them. I can't even express. NO WORDS, JUST EMOTIONS.

When you smile, all the darkness disappears.

NORTHERN KINGS CAN AND WILL MAKE EVERYTHING METAL. NORTHERN KINGS CAN MAKE BON JOVI METAL.

That being said, I found the perfect new subject for my next painting. Oh yes.

Need to get my shit in order. Terribly so. I'm so unhealthy lately, I haven't eaten well in months, at least not solidly. I more disorganized now than I ever have been. I need a lifestyle change. Wish it was as easy as saying: OKAY, SO LETS DO IT.

First thing, I need to start making weekly meal plans and STICKING TO THEM. I also need to schedule in specific exercise times.

Schedule in cleaning times. Laundry. Dusting and vaccuming days. Days that I clean the bathroom. Days I clean the bedding, etc. Keep in mind what day is trash day.

Then I need to get my motherfucking commissions in order. How do I expect to be self-employed at some point in the future if I can keep my end of business straight? Going to get another spreadsheet going with that.

In other news? I... I was finally dragged down. It's awful. OH LADY GAGA, HOW ARE YOU SO CATCHY?

Okay time for a sandwich or something, I am fucking hungry as all hell.

I need seven $100 commissions, or fourteen $50 commissions, or uh, thirty five $20 commissions, or seventy $10 commissions. ANYONE INTERESTED?



Look at this lovely thing I drew for sushiandpie. You can have one too for $8!!!



Or Something like this!



This would be $5!!!

And sketches are mega cheap. You know you want to 8|

The only halfway decent thing I've started recently. Urgh. I really need to get on painting attempts in Sai. Anyway my Demon character Ashrael, he looks funny cause he's not human obvs.

I still kinda can't hear out of one ear, god dammit Joe. Also I have crazy hiccups right now that are trying to destroy my soul.

Also, have a look at his super zazzy sparkle shoes.

DAMMIT JOE, TURN DOWN YOUR FUCKING AMPS, MY EARS ARE BLEEDING. I can't hear. That was about 5x louder than fucking Dethklok, I don't even.

But Oh my GOD possibly the best night of my life. I'm honestly not sure. On one hand, I felt euphoric and completely pumped over Dethklok, on the other, I was literally five feet away from JOE FUCKIN' PERRY.



I got pictures of every guitar Joe used in the show, and pictures from every song, which, HOPEFULLY I will be able to recall. Let's see... Let The Music Do The Talking, Walkin' The Dog, We've Got A Long Way To Go, East Coast West Coast, Get The Lead Out, Bright Light Fright, Stop Messin' Around, Do You Wonder, Somebody's Gonna Get (Their Head Kicked In Tonight), Vigilante Man, Slingshot, Rockin' Train, Scare The Cat, DREAM ON, Toy's In The Attic, Walk This Way and there may have been one or two more that I'm forgetting, the night was a blur of excitement, I can barely remember the order they were played either.

Hagen introduced Joe as The Admiral awww. And FFFF HAGEN IS BEYOND ADORABLE I LOVE HIM. He's like a little baby Steven. I honestly wonder what he'll do after the tour, because I want to follow up on him. He was awesome playing the tambourine amg ♥

Really it was an epic show, Joe is just too amazing. The man is almost 60 and he can still rock, and look gorgeous I can't even. He was so ZAZZY too holy shit. He had so much flare and his shoes GLITTERED AND SPARKLED. He also slowly undressed through the night, A+ Joe.

I can't BELIEVE he actually played Dream On. Like. He hates that fucking song. BUT HE PLAYED IT AND I WAS SO HAPPY HOLY SHIT. No Shakin' My Cage which made us all sad, but he did play Vigilante Man which my other favorite song off of the 2005 album so that was awesome.

Then David Hull did an AWESOME bass solo aksjdfkja amg I fucking love bass Solos ♥

Also pretty cool, there was this nice guy named Karl (aka 'Rachel Toxic') at the show, who had apparently been waiting outside the venue all day. He was friendly and introduced himself. When we got inside we were up against the barrier next to him, he was pretty chatty. He gave us his business card lmao which was actually really cute, it was a picture of a mixtape with his info on it. He later told us he played in an Aerosmith tribute band, as Joe Perry. LMAO AWESOME. He invited us to one of their shows, so we're gonna check them out in January. They're called Toys in the Attic xD

So yeah, this Karl guy is real friendly, has awesome music taste, plays in an Aero tribute, AND is a little bit glamrock. KIND OF IN LOVE and I hope we all can stay in touch with him. I have like no friends anymore, I'm desperate.

One of the other awesome things, before the show, they were playing TOM PETTY omfg. JUST FOR ME LMAO. It was exciting, sigh, I loves me some Tom Petty.

When someone came on stage to basically introduce JPP, she mentioned Vince Neil would be there on the 20th, and us and a bunch of others in the crowd laughed. AWESOME. She was like "Well I had to tell you, we all have jobs to do." Then we saw the flyer for him on the way out, Vince you so ugly.

BUT SIGH IT WAS SO GREAT. I'm gonna do a photopost separately, or you can check em out on my facebook 8D

TODAY IS THE DAY. EXCITE. I CAN'T EVEN.

Let's celebrate the fact that I am seeing this amazing guitarist, and beautiful man in 5 hours:











SIGH ♥

Hagen will be there and he's adorable, I can't wait to see him preform. 8D

OH MY FUCKING GOD BAZ YOU ARE SUCH A GOD DAMNED TOOL I SERIOUSLY CAN'T EVEN. I JUST CAN'T.

I've been watching SuperGroup on VH1 Classic all day. It's a train wreck, I can't look away. I'm getting such horrible secondhand embarrassment from him. It's so funny. SO. FUNNY.

Everyone should go join the Hearts and Guts exchange for the metalocalypse fandom. Srsly.

hearts_and_guts

YOU KNOW YOU WANNA~

Uhg some bad news, Joe Perry has taken the December 11th tour date down, and the Venue we were gonna see them at has taken it down as well. My mom emailed Joe's son Aaron, and apparently they canceled the rest of the tour due to holiday season, and they were sorry. But according to Joe's twitter... the cancellation of the tour is a rumor? Something about rescheduling in January but there's no confirmation. I guess mom's gonna forward the email to me so maybe I can make sense of it. THIS IS BUMMING ME OUT SO BAD, THIS WAS MY CHRISTMAS GIFT ; - ;

But some good news, aegoceros, snozzbatt, and me are gonna go see November Rain, a Guns N' Roses tribute band in January. I watched a couple of their vids on youtube and laughed my ass off. The 'Axl' is actually pretty good but man oh man. $7 for tickets, so funny, SO WORTH GOING. I AM EXCITE.

But man. At least I get to go see JPP this sunday in Albany. I hope it's AWESOME.

JFC you guys, 40 years of this can you grow up already and just play nice all of the time? You guys LOVE each other, and Steven stop being such a ~drama queen~ you hurt Joe with your shenanigans, he is a sensitive guy. RETURN HIS GOD DAMNED CALLS.



Let's celebrate with some more shenanigans. AND FOUR DAYS TILL JPP IN ALBANY. EXCITED IS ME.

LOL UH, sorry about last night, pairings rant I guess. I dunno. I was tired. @__@

Anyway back to business. Metcalocalypse has a gen-slash community, a Skwis/Toki comm, a Nathan/Charles comm, a Nathan/Toki comm, and USED to have a SNB comm. If we have others, I am not aware of them at the moment.

What we need? A Pickles/Charles comm, and a new SNB comm. I'm going off to make those as soon as I come up with good/clever names.

What I want? Suggestions for comm names, and wondering if anyone would be willing to be a mod in all seriousness.

For SNB so far name ideas have been: thirstydolphin and brutalbarrels. Unfortunately Snakes_n_Barrels doesn't fit, and SNB is taken. No ideas for a P/C comm name yet.

SO GO FORTH AND MAKE SUGGESTIONS. IT WOULD BE RAD.

WOAH. WHY THE NATHAN/CHARLES EXPLOSION (lol no pun intended)? NEEDS MORE PICKLES/CHARLES AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. PFFFT.

I feel like an ass, but I figured tonight's episode would kill my love for my ship, but it has only made it stronger. TY BRENDON, I AM NOW MORE DELUDED THAN EVER.

Who else is ALREADY excited for Dethalbum III? I AM.

( Episode reaction under the cut to try and save you darlings from spoilers. )

Okay some general reaction that hopefully won't spoil. Who feels like the tone is getting more serious and more epic? The pacing in the longer episodes definitely gives it a more serious mood, and story is getting a lot darker. I love it. But at the same time, I kind of feel like there are two separate stories being told at the same time? One that is essentially the humor and the sillyness of the show, a lighthearted story; the other which is darker and more 'realistic', the serious plot driven, character driven story.

I've kinda felt this from the beginning but it's becoming more apparent with the last handful of S2 eps and the premier I think. A part of me is afraid to loose the silly story, but I'm also really into serious and epic elements as well. I just hope Brendon manages to pull it off well, and tell a great story.

BLAH BLAH I am just a fangirlish mess right now. I stayed up till like 6:00 am because I had to rewatch the episode. So tired.

Hey man! Only 8 songs of 30 were guessed so far: http://solitaryshore.livejournal.com/46320.html

I'm serious! Giving out prizes for folks who can guess the most, I don't lie man. I may do another one of these soon, maybe there will be easier songs. BUT STILL, PLAY!

And more importantly. METALOCALYPSE tonight 8D I can't wait. I hope my darling dearest Ofdensen is okay. Oh god. Who's watching tonight? Anyone throwing a party?

Speaking of parties, we had a party today for me and my cousin and aegoceros. All of our birthdays are within a few weeks, so. Me and Mel always share parties. We had delicious german food and delicious cake, and my darling fag gifted me with this:



Yes. That is a Macaroni Murderlady. Also note she is wearing the Dethklok tour shirt, which I had also worn today. There were a few rounds of "STOPS COPIES ME" on account of that.

Need some graphics/fun things for my user info since it is totally boring. Boo. I can't think of anything fun.

And additionally, a question for any Metalocalypse fans that may have an answer... Does anyone know what happened to the snakesnbarrels community? I joined it a while ago, never really payed attention to it, to be honest, I don't think there were really any updates past when I joined. I only just noticed that it's been deleted. Why? 8(

Spending the day watching TV mostly. Sort of cleaned out my car. Will maybe write some later.

Also note to self: catch up on Venture Bros.

Another note: I fucking love Porcupine Tree.

Okay so maybe bad news? The fourth party going to see Joe Perry with us might not be able to make it. Which means I've got an extra ticket.

...UH. Any people in the area (show is in Albany) that would wanna go with us? I'll either mail it out free of shipping cost if the price of the ticket is covered or details could be worked out, I may be willing to cut the price. If you know anyone in the area that'd be interested?

IDK MAN! Spreading the word around would help. It would be a shame for the ticket to go to waste D8
