skygiants: Princess Tutu, facing darkness with a green light in the distance (glitterazzi)

So.

Around this time last year, I was feeling vaguely un-great. And so I made an offer.

Right now, I myself am doing pretty well, albeit in a crazy busy sort of way - but a lot of you people I care about are going through tough things, and when you guys are sad, that makes me sad, too. I wanted to take the time to go through [livejournal.com profile] innerbrat's love meme earlier this week and tell you all about your fabulousness, but every time I opened up the page a little voice shouted "No time for love, Dr. Jones!" in my head and I reluctantly closed it down and went back to my reading/take-home midterm/thesis draft.

After today, though, life hopefully slows down a bit, at least for a week - and so I am repeating my offer from last year. If there's something I can do to make you happier, this post is a place for you to request it. I will write fic, both new requests and old ones I never got around to doing and forgot about; I will make icons; I will tell you my thoughts on yaoi; I will upload music that reminds me of you or that I think you would like; or, if you want, just tag in and I will tell you some of the myriad reasons why I think you are awesome.

Please don't be shy about taking advantage of this. I really want to do stuff for you guys, because you all mean a lot to me.



And for the time being, I will trundle back to my thesis chapter, the completed draft of which must be done today before I go off to see Titus Andronicus tonight. I got into a pretty good thesis-writing groove last night before I fell over, so here's hoping I can manage that again!

These thoughts were produced at around 5 am, so... sorry in advance in terms of their coherency?


I have a few times... had Elle do things in a gentle attempt to see if Jamie would be scared off, but to no avail! We'll see how that goes.

In any case, I did figure going in that Elle would probably deal better with younger people, as she'd be closer to their maturity level and be less likely to be ... touchy. That Jamie's also from such a different context also probably helps, as he doesn't often make reference to that whole social framework that she wasn't a part of. So he can talk to her about things from his world and the ones he visited, even being a know-it-all about it, but it's not like a nasty reminder of how she's not normal and should already know these things.

And she definitely does still see Jamie's whole going-to-different-worlds-thing as an ability he can't really control, no matter how much he tries to tell her otherwise, and so a lot of his explaining things is to her also explaining the nature of that ability - and Elle really does love a good ability. I will... explain that sometime, maybe.

He's also just... not mean to her. Which is true of a lot of people she meets in the Bar and is not at all something she's used to, but it does keep some of her crueler tendencies at bay. And... I think you kind of covered it in terms of their both being somewhat (to, erm, in her case very) amoral. But I do worry that at some point she will visibly push past that line and it will be... uncomfortable.

So here are some fun things from... what I realized while writing this:

Kristen Bell really is really short. Maybe at least those heels at Elle wears would make her taller than him.

And has short hair and they're SO SERIOUS.

Still srs business and no setting things on fire.

Yeah, vmcaps shouldn't be available to me when I should be sleeping.
