MUAHAHAHAHA

(I'm listening to Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows soundtrack now, DON'T FEAR)

Okay so it is, uh, not Valentine's Day any more. Anywhere, I think. But I'm only a few hours late really.

This is for my valentine, anobjectinspace, but I have decided to leave the entry public so you can all admire how awesome he is and maybe say nice things about him if you would like to.

So here is my v-day gift, a drawing of Topher as Sherlock.



(Basically beasts_and_men and I both agree that he is the closest thing to Sherlock Holmes that we know of, the only difference being that he is a bit more well-rounded and doesn't hate people or women. And the BBC show is clearly the best version so.)

Also no dA link because I'm not uploading a larger version anywhere, although an original-size version will be arriving in dropbox for you, luv.


ALSO - Paige - Sees pic is up at the same post. Or will be in a few minutes, but I don't think you're awake right now, so.

I have become absolutely fascinated with these little guys.

Everything lately is making me want to write fiction again. Science-fiction or something along the lines of modern fantasy. I still feel inadequate though. My narrative writing sucks, but I know that can be improved with hard work and practice. What I am less sure about is my...hmm...narrative intelligence?

Basically, I can't follow a complex plot (or even a mildly interesting one) to save my life. One of the reasons I like the new My Little Pony show is because it makes me feel clever because sometimes I can see plot twists coming. I had to watch A Tale of Two Sisters three or four times before I could really understand what was happening, let alone start thinking about the implications (and let's leave alone the fact that I saw the American remake first and thus already knew the twist and...was still surprised anyway). I enjoy Stephen King books that most people hate, like The Tommyknockers, mostly because the lack of discernible plot isn't something I notice; I can't tell the difference between that and something with a complex plot because they are equally confusing to me.

This doesn't really bother me; obviously I still enjoy reading, watching movies, etc. Usually I fall in love with a character or concept first, and then the plot on many subsequent viewings/readings. And each time I watch a movie is a new experience! Buuuut I'm not confident in my ability to write something with a plot. I know my creative strengths are in world-building and, to a lesser degree, character-building.

Maybe I'll just throw my ideas at anobjectinspace and make him write things. Hmmm. *strokes chin* 6 u 9

Speaking of which, going to go read more of his excellent writing. Oh, but here's a song first. A REALLY SAD SONG. It literally almost made me cry, which is difficult to do.



oAo!!

Yes I am doing Aramii again

You all have anobjectinspace to thank for that, yes
