Title: Art for Deep Breaths
Rating: G

I picked apocalypsos' delightfully intriguing AU Deep breaths (Mary/Ellen, R) where Mary's raising the boys, Ellen's a mysterious stranger and things aren't quite what they seem.
The author's summary:
AU. Azazel offered Mary a choice, and she did what she had to do. She looked him in the eyes when he offered to bring her dead boyfriend back to life, and she told him no. Fifteen years later, she's divorced, a single mom, and living in the sort of quaint small town she used to dream about raising her family in. Enter a strange woman with a mute little girl, a woman who cracks through Mary's barely stable facade of a normal life. Featuring five tequila shots, four threatening angels, three fatherless children (maybe), two kickass women, and a platter of peanut butter brownies.

It's an amazing story with a really unique premise so go read it here (AO3 link)! [Or the master post on lj if you want to leave feedback there]

Don't forget to read the story and follow trekreversebang for all of the other great art and fic!

• It has been exactly a month since I last posted any fanart D: More Star Trek's coming up soon though, Thursday, in fact (for trekreversebang) and then my second one later in the month, and I'm doing art for two stories for SPN Bigbang, drafts due June 1, and I am finishing up one art commission and starting up another huge one, not to mention the various fanart ideas flitting through my head all the time and aaaahhhhhhhh!!!! *runs around like a madwoman*

• Being a mod for a challenge can be incredibly fun and exciting, but sometimes... *points up to the running around like a madwoman sentiment*

• NPH was on Glee tonight. It's very hard for me to be objective about anything he does ♥♥ (ok, he still can't make me watch Beastly or the Smurfs movie, but other than that...) This was the first episode I watched of Glee and well, the show's not my thing, but Lea Michele does have a really beautiful voice.

• Anyone around here watching korean dramas? Specifically "Life is Beautiful"?

• Here's a video of Ishq hua, a song I really like (from a hindi movie called Aaja Nachle), featuring an actress I have a huge crush on, and an actor who isn't hard on the eyes either. It has (mostly accurate) subtitles too, and it's kind of sweet and funny:

• And to wrap up the post, here's some stunning art by nami86, Stained Glass Windows. All sorts of characters from Supernatural painted like they were on stained glass windows. Very large image, and absolutely worth waiting for the aeons it takes to completely load at full size.

trekreversebang posting will start on Wednesday (watch the comm!). Must finish my own art. I'm very excited, hopefully there won't be any more dropouts, though thankfully pinch-hitters are in place. *crossing fingers for everything going smoothly*

spn_j2_bigbang fics have been claimed. One gen, one femslash. Both sound really intriguing, I'm looking forward so much to reading them!

*goes nuts with all the work, but in kind of a good way*

Have a potentially awesome freelance illustration opportunity. Potentially, because the details are not yet nailed down and...ok, you know that moment between knowing your grades are up for the semester and the time it takes for the browser to load your transcript, when you have no idea about how you did on the final for that damn comp sci class you floundered through all those months and don't know whether you're looking at a failing grade in your very first semester or whether you actually managed to get through it? ...so it's not a perfect metaphor, but the nerves are sort of like that. *bites nails*
(Don't judge me. That comp sci class was freaking hard. I have not felt that stupid for such an extended period of time since the first few months of beginning calculus :( And no, I didn't fail. But only barely.)

Because it's been a while, here's a poll:

In conclusion, happy National Jelly Bean Day everybody!

Posting schedule finally drawn up for trekreversebang. Everything's going smoothly till now, am crossing fingers for everything else going totally smoothly as well *crosses fingers*

WIPs (or should that be WsIP?):
• SGA getting their thrills on a San Fransisco downhill trolley ride!
• Vulcan kids weirding out Spock with their unwavering attention :D

Here's some music:
Teri Ore from the movie Singgh is King (movie not recommended).
The song is beautiful and the singer, Shreya Ghosal has a gorgeous voice.
Download the song here

Life is Crazy from the movie Wake Up Sid (movie recommended).
The song title's in English, but that's pretty much the only English line and forms part of the refrain. It's a fun song, foot-tapping catchy but not loud. And the singers are good.
Download the song here

As usual, songs are on my server, so right-click save. And if you can, let me know what you think :)

In conclusion, here's a blog dedicated to pictures of things following angry cats.

It's been a while since the last one, so, give me some fanart prompts!

Fandoms: SPN (gen/non-wincest), Star Trek (gen or OT3 with Spock/Uhura/Kirk), SGA (gen), White Collar (OT3).

Stuff to know:
• Nothing should be over PG-13 (if that).
• I might not, unfortunately, be able to get to all of your prompts (out of time/out of ideas) but I still really appreciate you indulging me.
• And both a note and an explanation of the point above, will take me some time to finish because I haven't met a picture yet that I couldn't waste hours over.

Thank you anonymous person for the sugary bunny in my profile! I wish you many sweet treats too!

Totally not new movies that I'm feeling a resurgence of love for:
Saving Face How sweet was this movie and how awesome was the ending? I rented it way back when, and still re-watch it from time to time. ♥

Undercover Brother I love this movie. It's hilarious and kind of smart in its own way. ♥ (and no, it's not just because NPH is in it, although that definitely doesn't hurt :P)

A game that I have been losing hours of my life on:
Robot Unicorn Attack. Just as wonderful as that name sounds. You're welcome. Feel free to send all curses muccamukk's way when you forget about everything else and keep hearing that stupid song in your head, it's all her fault.

And in conclusion, somewhat thematically related to Saving Face, here's a skit from the British comedy show Goodness Gracious Me:
( Oh my God, my son is a lesbian!! )

My genderswap Star Trek picture is going slooowly, but here, have a little peak:
( This is Ms Kirk )

And just because I can, here is a little bit of ranting about yogurts ads and two and a half men (...not related) in graphic form (complete with bad handwriting):
( Bah humbug )

Also, I have pizza, but no soda. My life is so hard :(

trekreversebang match-ups are done, match emails have been sent, reveal to authors and artists has been posted, pinch-hitters post and pointing to betas post and cheerleaders(?) posts need to be made and *falls down in an exhausted heap* How do people ever do this without amazing co-mods?

I have one SGA and one SPN picture in the works. I started them first but then my brain wandered off again and I found myself drawing Trek Reboot genderswap. oxboxer's pictures were so incredibly cool, I couldn't get the idea out of my head. Not to mention, cocky, smirky female!Kirk hitting on stoic female!Spock and bemused but kind of intrigued male!Uhura makes for a delicious mental image...ok, somebody write it? PLEASE?
