Unwitting femslash, yet more paintedspires recs, and uh, spn comi

[ileliberte]

I was watching this Hindi movie yesterday (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, in case you're curious), and in my initial rush of nostalgia, had forgotten how stupid I'd found it the first time I saw it, and how its stupidity still stands strong even after many years of not having seen it. Even though I have soft spots for all the actors, I don't recommend you watch it. But, what I wanted to talk about was how the sort of love triangle (tomboyish girl loves male best friend, male best friend loves suave newcomer girl and suave newcomer girl loves boy, but knows that tomboyish girl loves boy too) had moments where I thought tomboyish girl and suave newcomer girl could totally be slashed together. Oh fandom. I never had thoughts like this before. Also, even though I found it stupid, it was like badfic where there's a constant refrain of "omg wtf" in your head at the dialog, plot, setup but it totally hits your emotional kinks at certain points.

Snagged my spn bigbang claim today, I suspect I will be very happy with the story I got.

Some more paintedspires recs:

Exploring by bellewhan Prompt: Lantean whales (or dolphins, or schools of fish) exploring Ancient underwater ruins.
Lovely colors and idea. There's something very satisfying about seeing a piece that has such an interesting mix of digital effects and more traditional hand drawn imagery, the water looks very pretty, the ruins are intriguing and the viewpoint is really cool. Also, excellent octopus :)

It's a Strange World by steammmpunk. Prompt, appropriately enough, is Steampunk AU
Two tone pieces done skilfully are always, always gorgeous. I like Rodney usually, but here? Oh man, I love him.

Muppet: Atlantis by astridv Prompt: Muppet Atlantis!
It's smile time Atlantis style! Ronon is especially awesome. Oh man, everyone's so cute!

Ok, possibly the coolest rec I have ever done here, painted eggs! Well, egg. Puddlejump(egg)er by retrofit88 Prompt: the schematics of a 'Jumper
Man, it's painted on an egg! What more is there to say? Go!

Night Reflections by gnine Prompt: Whales, stars, Atlantis at night
Some lovely coloring, the city looks like a truly lived in alien city, the lights are pretty and the reflections in the water are gorgeous. Wonderful piece.

And to round it off, our star artist leyna55, once again shining with her Regency AU.
I have no more sparkly epithets for her, I've run out of original things to say, but by now, you probably know enough to just go click on the link and marvel at her skills.

I'm trying my hand at drawing a small SPN comic strip. So hard! My style is not light at all, and man, expressive but clean outlines in a teeny little square = what the hell was I thinking. But I shall persevere. And maybe it will be a tiny bit funny too :/
