( I'm BAA-AACK. )

---

Rules: Take the major fanfic categories and write something for each using ten twenty-five fuck it, however many or fewer words. *Yes, it’s supposed to be ten. But I am made of failcakes.

Snape/Hermione … because, duh.

Angst: She stands next to Weasley, and the colour of her wedding dress is one of virgins and saints. It’s a mockery; Granger belongs in crimson, in a fabric as thick as their lies: her innocence smearing his sheets, her quick blood-hot kiss, invariably stolen, and her falsehoods—too close to his own, ‘Always, I’ll come back, always.’


Fluff: The birthday cake she’d baked was both lopsided and too sweet, but under her watchful, self-critical eye Severus ate two pieces anyway.


UST: She’s not changed much over the summer, he half-muses, as Hermione Granger steps into the first potion’s class of the term. Her knees and elbows are still knobby, her hair an ever bushy mess, and she wears the same anxious expression—flittering between earnestness and impatience. His mind holds a list, stock descriptions he refers to whenever her image slips through the cracks of his preconscious: child, student, know-it-all, loud-mouthed-pain-in-the-arse-silly-Gryffindor-girl…

But as she sits, smoothing her skirt in one long stroke, and her gaze flits up to greet him, he can think of only one word: potential.


Friendship: There’s a precarious balance to it that he’s just now getting the hang of. Don’t scowl unless you mean it. Say vaguely nice things even if you don’t strictly mean it. Forgive small grievances and forget large ones.

Being Granger’s friend means doing many things that are not natural to his disposition—but, more importantly—for as rare as they’ve come in the past, getting an endless supply of second chances.


Hurt/Comfort: When she wakes up sweaty and shaking, her throat sore from crying out a dead woman’s name, he doesn’t recoil from her, mock her for her inability to forget the past, or pretend that sentiment and words will make it all go away. He is ever fortunate that she returns the favour.


Adventure: A whoosh of air as he lifts off, followed by the sensation of weightlessness—all except for the girl in his arms; he’s never been much on a broom, truth be told, but here he excels, flying on nothing but willpower and magic alone. It’s perfection, it’s bliss, but it’s even better now with her mouth close to his ear, gasping: “This is brilliant; you’re brilliant.”


Smut: It’s a quick fuck in an empty classroom, the legs of the desk groaning under their weight, the smell of spilled ink and sweat-stained parchment, and O’s that aren’t red filling her mind and thrilling her to the core.


Humor: “I look ridiculous.”

“But you like black,” Hermione said, barely suppressing a grin at his indignation.

Snape shot her a withering look. “I never agreed to props. Take this, and this.”

“Oh, but leave it! The helmet and the truncheon are the biggest part of the fantasy!”

“A Muggle bobby? This is debasing to the highest degree…”

“I didn’t question you when asked to role-play a centaur!”

“At least they are both magical and noble creatures.”

“…”

“Fine, point taken.” Snape reached for her. “I’m arresting you on suspicion—ah, resisting are we? Very well…”

----

Fuck, that's just way too hard: 10 words. I need sleep before I *die*...so last thoughts are modify meme at whim, but I'd love to see your take on it ♥ ♥ ♥

This horse... pretty damn sexy... well, compared to: Adrien Brody's latest outfit. Usually I'm pretty fashion blase but this...Wtf?

Okay, I lie. Horse is sexy, period.
Although why spray it in the fucking face? MEAN.

Also: AB is fired from being related to Snape in any way/shape/form. FIRED.

I still liked him in 'The Jacket' though. Yeah.... can't help but like tormented, angst ridden, mentally unstable... hell I'll just cut myself off right about now.


---------

Oh yeah... Moving the computer over to the new house either tomorrow or Sat. Was going to leave it here--until internet was switched---but do not trust my dad not to let his girly friend (who is moving in as we are moving out) fuck with it, or him himself fuck with it, and/or either of them possibly finding things that have no business being found. *paranoid hat*

TL;DR: No internet access until bleeding TUESDAY. Yes, I will die.

ETA ETA ETA ETA:

HAS EVERYONE SEEN THIS ALREADY? OMG OMG OMG OMG FENRIR/GINNY OMG OMG OMG OMG...




AND HARRY CHASING BELLA AND HER TAUNTING HIM WITH SIRIUS' DEATH AND OMG I WANT THIS MOVIE LIKE NOW GRAHHHHH.

[[x]] I'm not sure why I'm updating. Other than I guess I feel guilty... (a few) people have been friending me lately. I want to groan and ask why... nothing against anyone but myself.

I guess I should be honest and admit I fucked up again. And now I feel lousy and disheartened and like I'm never going to get better or amount to anything and I want to cry and scream and on the other hand I want to laugh and shout JUST GET OVER YOURSELF. Very conflicted. I know things will seem better later. It's just a temporary insanity. Things always get better.


[[x]] I'm sick of the smell of paint thinner. And paint. We're going to start moving our shit tomorrow. Poor Sub has been working 18 hour days between his job and the house. I can tell he's wearing thin. I feel terribly inept with it all.


[[x]] Bah. I'm going to go drown myself in M&M's and comedy or possibly some tragedy. Funny how that works.. Last night I watched Bill Burr (fucking hilarious), Jim Gaffigan (lighter than Burr and still great), 1984 (really close to the book, and a good tragedy), and some other stand-ups. I'm binging on netflix. I think I just need to distract myself for a long while.


♥ ♥ ♥

May July go easier than June.


p.s. Cause I can't get it off my mind this picture is both disturbing and enthralling (i.e. it plays off my leg/knee/shoe fetish but makes me CRINGE CRINGE OW.)

Okay... *shameface* I fell off the wagon... a little. I don't plan to excuse this---it's just hard, especially cause we got our new house... and I've been painting (my arse off) and to get other people to paint (i.e. Sub's friends) he bought a BUNCH of booze and has it in the fridge. I didn't drink any hard stuff. But beer. I gave in to the beer.

I'll do better after this is over. Must. I must. I've been morbidly depressed and stressed. I don't deal with change well. Grahhhhh.

----

I want a black leather fainting couch for my office. MMMhmmm. Probably will have to wait awhile to get one... nice ones are spendy :(

----

Two art recs: (work safe)

Wedding or art-nouv. vs poster

*I love love love stuff that it shows two different styles in compare and contrast. Plus, they sort of remind me of HP chars (Narcissa, uh... and a DE?)


Severus Looks in a Mirror

*Grahhh. It's angsty. I teared up at the end. I think it would have been slightly improved had it been Lily instead of Remus, but this may have been for an exchange... etc.

Dearest Meg/Lariope---I'm not sure if you remember the pay-it-forward post, but you were the first to sign up for a gift, and I am pleased to have finished it on your birthday! (At least, it's still the 23rd here!) I wish you many happy returns and hope this pleases you!


Title: The Answer of a Reunion
Pairing: Snape/Granger
Rating: Art is G, drabble is R (cursing/past sexual implications)
Warnings/etc: AU, student/teacher (Hermione's age is not specified) -- really rather tame :)
Wordcount: 400; drabble: dialogue only
Notes: I looked up lariopefic's SS/HG prompts for the last exchange and was inspired by the idea of a reunion + morally ambivalent Snape + snark + semi-fluff/happyish endings. Although this barely touches the edges of all; blame the Lemur muse!

( The Answer of a Reunion )


Bonus points if you can spot the symbolism -snurfles

It's only good in Lolita. And I still fucking lol'd then.


[[x]] Closing Tuesday. The house will probably take up 99.9% of my time. WE HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO [painting, decorating, uh---and the actual moving...ugh].

So, this is another shaky hiatus. More hiatusy than the other shaky hiatus. If that makes any sense at all. No. Not really.


[[x]] Ugliest Tattoos Evar ---- NWS: Hilarious site made of SO MUCH FUCKING WIN.


[[x]] Don't spend time at ohnotheydidnt unless, like me, you want to get sucked into a whirlpool of things you probably shouldn't care about (like drama and star's lives) but end up interested in.... LULZ. Plus, I was supposed to be in bed a half hour ago and obviously AM NOT. D:

Though I did find this really awesome icon from a user over that way ^^. And a few awesome gifs. And a raging girl crush on Lindsay Lohan (ahh!)... WHY IS ONTD SO ADDICTING!? Why does it bring out my sexshal confooshun?


[[x]] Speaking of gifs and ONTD treasures (and maybe a bit of the last admission, too):



DAWWW. *heart throbs*

It's a Fashion with a Gun, My Love

[x] THIS SONG... I AM NEWLY OBSESSED. Of course it's a classic: "Love My Way" by The Psychedelic Furs ... I embedded a plain video/Grand Theft Auto Background because of the quality of the sound versus the real vid of PF:




They just want to steal us all, and take us all apart...

So powerful. Especially the ending. Makes me want to get blown out of my mind. ♥ ♥


[x] Speaking of which... I'm still doing good. Today started out terribly---as per anxiety and general internal turmoil... Things also didn't go as planned (more vagueness). Anyway, in the end I decided to spend the afternoon with boytoy. We haven't spent any time together for quite awhile. Went on a nice walk to our new house (closing soon), met some nice (if nosy) soon-future neighbors, and then went to see 17 Again---which was pretty damn EPIC...

I.E. I have a total soul boner (for humour): Thomas Lennon , Zac Effron is totally fucking BAWM-SHICA-BOW-BOW, if I may be so lame (and horny), and the creepy implications of the daughter/father variety were epically hilarious (albeit disturbing).

Boytoy didn't think he'd enjoy it but he did---and good laughs were had, as well as a renewed sense of: I know why I love and adore this person. We are kindred souls--although his is infinitely purer.


[x] Also- started a new book today. I *finally* finished 1984 and it goes among my most favorite books *ever* [epic ending? YES AND YES] ... and am now reading a collection of Shirley Jackson stories. The Lottery is her most well known piece, I believe (so haunting and wonderfully macabre). Jackson is highly underapprieciated---and her craft is superb.


[x] I haven't written anything for what feels like EVER. Last night I may or may not have had a break down over my frenzied state of uncreativity. I have been doing art. This current line art came out quickly and nicely, IMO. But now I've started to color it and it's ... being fucking difficult. I think I'm being impatient with it---so I've decided to give it a rest for a day or eleventy two.

----

Now time for ART RECS: (and very, very brief not-quite-explanations of why... lulz.)

( Four Non-HP Pretties )

Enjoy ^_^

Okay, this song is addicting. I just wanted to drop by and push the awesomeness on you:

(youtube won't let me embed the video, bastards)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHhhcKxflMY

Your Sex Is On Fire - by Kings of Leon


But omg, isn't it just sodden with slashy overtones???? Pay close attention to moments 1:30-1:50ish. *creams self* Yeah, violent golden-lighted (srsly, the lighting in this video is beyond lovely) pretty boys shoving the main one down on a bed and gzzzghhhhh *short circuits*. I cannot do it justice with words. The song is amazing in itself (guitar riffs, FTW)--I just happened on the video and FUCK. It's short, just watch and enjoy ;x

--

Otherwise two art recs:

Potter Calling the Snape Black by tomscribble

*THIS IS AN EPIC WIN. I love when people give a nod to the fact that yes, Snape and Black are both petty and immature. And the comic dialogue is so IC :3 You'll LOL, trust me.


Muggle by marikaart

*SNAPE AS A YOUNG MUGGLE STUDENT. BY MARIKAART. You've probably already seen this one because Marika's Art is coveted above many. His hands! His expression! Mmmph.

The other day, at a restaurant, this song came on...and I about shit myself with glee. It's an epic win for creepiness and depravity, chan style XD XD XD




Hot Child In The City --- by Nick Gilder




Go on. You know it's catchy as fuckkkk :D

------

Otherwise, going through some real life funk. Identity issues I guess--who I am versus who I want to be. Trying to formulate a pathway for change. I need to grow up, move on, and stuff.... It's too early to talk about it in any sort of detail.

Shaky farewell/hiatus for now :)

Two Quick Art Recs

I hurt sooooo bad inside. I just want it to be over...to come and go. I hate being female.


You all should know how I like unbalanced relationships---especially when one is godlike and one is weakly mortal.

HENCE:

NWS My Lover Is A God In Exile by hibbary

*Slashy. So fucking beautiful in concept. In fact... when I saw this my breath escaped me. I felt like THIS--THIS is what I want to express so often... Helplessness + adoration + sexuality.


Lullaby by sandara

*Gzzguhhh. Women playing instruments for demons who enslave them? YES PLEASE. So much fucking love. Another of those art pieces that just calls to my soul.


===

Speaking of which, I have a question for you artsy knowledgeable folk. I took an art history class once...[upon a time]... and I can't remember WHERE I saw this piece: A woman/youthful female, chain around her ankle, one foot on a skull, playing some sort of instrument [harp, I'm thinking]. Possibly baroque style...

Does anyone have any idea what I am referring to?

Title: Where Do You Think You're Going?
Pairing: Snape/Granger
Rating: PGish mildly NWS for a hint of phallic-magic [to be safe]
Warnings: Flagrant abuse of PSP8. And total lack of any sensical style. Uh, real warnings? Not really---it's all pre-dubious situations.
Notes: Srsly, I should be ashamed for not just shooting the wounded art bunny. And the fact that I wasted so much time with it. I tried to combine/mimic a few other art styles and Failed Hard. Snape almost ended up in yellow because I was so angry with this picture (and feeling particularly malicious). Fortunately, he was spared due to learning a few new tricks with the tools of photoshop. LET'S JUST CLAIM I DID IT FOR THE LULZ. WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH TRUE, ANYWAY. *nod*




( Tiptoe Through The Tuli--Dungeons )

Now to go stick it on DA and see if they pull it down. >:) Or something.

--

I'm drunk off my arse. But I just got word that my final grade in Philosophy for the term is a little OVER 96%. FUCK YAH.

I think I might pull a 4.0 this term. Granted only two classes... but hey. One class I'm waiting for is a graduate-ish level class ... and oh god am I nervous. Will not go into it---but yanno. Will share when the final grade comes out :3


--

Otherwise... have some art/drabble to share shortly. Would anyone be willing to beta this drabble? It's around 400 words... [SS/HG, 1st person, con-issues, uh duh & depressing...etc]

Otherwise, also some other art that I plan to stick up, like a bunny on a pike. You know those inspirations that you get that are like mortally wounded animals? Kinder to shoot them in the head than nourish them?

Will explain that later. But yeah.

I am approximately one paragraph away from finishing this research paper. ONE PARAGRAPH. It just needs to sum up everything I've been harping on throughout the whole thing... But suddenly my confidence and motivation to do this has went KERSPLAT. I just want it to be overrrrrrr. I'm afraid I've botched it but in my impatience I don't see the glaring errors.

Ugh. And then I have another 4 pager due on one of Aristotle's theories on Sunday. It was orig. due Friday but my teacher decided to be made of awesome and gave us two extra days (which I screwed away, akshullay). /end school wangst

---

Also a little upset over a few other things.

• Where did angelmischa go? It's kind of weird when flisters just up and are gone---though she did leave some major forums as a mod...or something of the sort first. And for awhile it was all up in the air?
  
  
• I love hump_day_smut and am unsure of their policies on chan or whatever (just incase anyone takes this the wrong way, not an attack on the comm or mods): But I was really saddened by some people's reactions due to a Draco picture where his age was highly debatable (although, as I said there: I think he was quite underage, I do not think this should matter). The comm is supposedly for ALL kinks and tastes of HP art---I do wish it could have been resolved in a different way. I almost feel like bringing it up directly, but don't feel it's my place to do so. So I'm just going to leave a THIS MADE ME SAD section here :(
  
  
• Hito76 left Devart. She was one of my favorite HP fanartists---and I know there are going to be a whole shitload of dead links under my art recs tag now. I understand why she left, but still :( :( :( :(
  
  
  Argh-I keep this thought to myself most of the time, but I can't help but feel that fandom often shits on itself--by either chasing away or excluding people who make the environment more rich and diverse.

In 5 days I should see the glass half full, instead.

Title: Billy the Lemur
Author/Artist: siriuslysnogged
Rating: G
Summary: The muse demanded to be drawn (for blessing me with his presence lately). I can't say no to him...or he'll hurt me. He's a lemur, as you should well know--but he's also an (anthropomorphic) adolescent human male. He's flaky as fuck. Slightly deranged. Whispers plot bunnies in my ear at the worst times possible, yet whenever I need him he's up in his tree throwing rotten fruit at me. And he's 100% a fantastical figment of my overactive imagination.
Notes: Rather quick--from start to finish >2 days. Don't take this too seriously. Or I'll make him bite your muse and spread the disease :P



He's amused that I think I somehow own him.


Larger version: http://pics.livejournal.com/siriuslysnogged/pic/0003yg2b

-------

Uh, and yeah. Now go draw the manifestation of your inspiration, or something.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

desds, my dear friend, best wishes for the 29th of May!





^^ SPARTA, AND I, HOPES IT IS THIS SPASTASTIC ^^


--

P.S. To muse: why do you insist on coming around when I've so much work to do? Seriously, demanding I write THREE THOUSAND words for my o-fic ... when those words should be applied to my final research paper ... is cruel and unusual punishment---especially due to your extreme flakiness whenever I actually have spare time to write (i.e. blessing me with >100 words every time I try to consult you). You'll dissapear mid-June I fear... just as summer begins :( But I love you, please don't leave me!!one1!!

This is just a last call to say the [1] Dreamwidth account code is still available first come first serve to anyone on my flist. If no one takes it by the end of the day/tomorrow I'll go gift it on the DW exchange thingy.

I've slept only 4 hours in the last 24 and I feel sick and loopy :(

Looks like I've come out of the woodwork, if only for a little while...

[[x]] I swear most of my classmates are idiots. It's like they don't even try to form compelling arguments in my philosophy class--but make short blanket statements that just make me CRINGE to the core. But my prevailing thought is: God I hope they aren't getting as good of a grade as I am--since I am obviously putting a whole lot more into my work.

[[x]] It is nearly 5am and I am feeling WIDE-EYED. This sucks. My sleeping schedule is so fucked. I actually wrote over 1,000 words of O-fiction: while I should have been studying for my test this Friday. Though, it was nice to have a burst of inspiration, even if the muse has incredibly bad timing.

[[x]] Sub has FORBID me to spray this lovely green-tea scented spray. He says it reeks like shit. He ranted and raved about it when I decided to use it while he was out of the room---lolololol. I think he's going to throw it away if he finds it. Dick-head.


~*~*~*~

Okay, here are some non-HP Art Recs that ya'll might enjoy :) ALL WORK SAFE UNLESS NOTED.

Summon The Reaper by ironshod

*Okay, it's a little cliche'. The pretty and dubious looking woman with a large figure of Death behind her---but I just love when you get the sense that for now she controls him, but really it's he who controls her. Mmmhmmm. Plus, it's gorgeous--just go see!


Iven by sandara

*WHOA-MG sexy elf-pirate! Yes, you heard that right. Elf-pirate; and damn does he look so cocky and charming. The colour purple, accented red, is really used wonderfully here.


Good vs Evil by janaschi

*This is an awesome fucking concept: Realism vs. Manga. I'll let you decide for yourself on the matter... But I'll just say that I'd give about anything to be able to draw in a more realistic style *frump*


Under Pale Moonlight by mrcool256

*You all know I have a love for moody landscape portraits. Especially ones with empty trails/roads. This is insanely beautiful; it makes me wistful and awestruck and just guhhhhhhhh....


MILDLY NWS Piggyback by kris-wilson

*And lastly a funny. Kris is known for his eccentric humor. This comic is one of his recent highlights XD

---

Oh yeah... I have a spare http://www.dreamwidth.org account code, if anyone still needs one.

Because lulabelle72 asked so prettily on dev art: "The Snape that is facing away... Dude. Can't stop staring. Something so gorgeous about that pose and about the lines. In fact, I think you should do a close-up of just that Snape. I want to see more of that drawing!" I've uploaded the messy line-art in close up of the aforementioned.

( Snape foreshortened & Miss Granger's Xpreshun )

If you missed the full colored version I posted early the 24th It Is Here.

---

And so this actually has some content the other 100 or so people on my flist might care about...

THE HARRY POTTER MASSIVE POST O' ART REX: (all completely work safe unless noted)

SS/HG: Severus and Hermione by luciferacat

*The expressions kill me. They both look so snooty and high class... I was partly bothered by it, in the way that they are both way too OOC pretty---but in the end I just don't give a damn. It's great art. It's beautiful. I wish I had such talent!


Snape: What Did You Do? by dunland

*CREEPILY DELICIOUS. His eyes, his expression = fucking win. Brilliantly used colours that add to the mood.


Snape: Half Blood Prince by lilyhbp

*It's like looking at a religious icon... The position of the hands. The vacant expression of his eyes and face. Beautiful and tragic.


Harry, Hermione, Ron: The Three Friends by silvertea

*SQUEE. I adore artwork that features all three of our beloved HP main character's. Especially when it just screams their personalities. This is the kids looking weary and worried and like they have all the troubles in the world. It's beautiful---and the lighting/background is ohmygodguh.


The Trio + Krum and Fleur: Beauxbatons and Durmstrang by kinky-chichi

*This would have been a perfect Goblet of Fire cover. I just lovelovelove the artist's intrepretations of the characters. They all look so original and lovely. AND FLYING HORSES ARE ALWAYS A WIN! :D


Hermione, Ron, Lavendar: Jealousy by hito76

*Hito's HP art is fucking amazing---she is def. one of the best fanartist's out there. The style and clean colors are made of YAY. Plus, this features a spiteful Hermione. A love triangle. And an unhappy Ron. I love me all of those.


Snape/Lily: Guilt by lysel

*WARNING FOR DEATH/GORE. This concept is one I will never ever ever ever grow tired of. Severus getting himself coated in Lily's blood --- licking it? YES PLZ. And she's dead on his lap! *flails*


MILDLY NWS JP/JP/SS: JamesSnapeJames by zwolfsr

*I didn't want to like this. But I do. The line art is so crisp and clean. The expressions are to die for: James' cocky arrogance - Severus' tormented rage. I can just imagine James doing this to Severus while he's gloating over shagging Lily. HEE.

**=Funnies=**

Ron, Pettigrew: My Pet by caycowa

*SRSLY JKR. SRSLY--WTF WERE YOU (NOT)THINKING? Gaping hilarious plothole here about Ron and his pet rat.


Draco + Hermione: Malfoy got TOLD by L16

*I have a crush on this artist's humor---which I have expressed multiple times previously. She has an old school sort of Ren & Stimpy style; grotesque/silly/flailinglyawesomesauceeee!! Hermione is just too eloquent when Draco calls her a Mudblood. *snicker*


SS/LE: Snape + Lily by anonymoustoyou

*LMFAO. I. Can't. Even.... [[Snape + Puppets is always going to be a win.]]


----

Wow. I hate when I forget to rec & things pile up. Please try to view and leave feedback for our fandom's artists. And I never mind a note if you liked something I've recced in particular---these posts do take me quite a bit of time to do. Cheers!

Something I've been working on for awhile...
And am now sick of tinkering with.

Title: Hand Over The Girl...!
Pairing: Snape/Granger
Rating: PGish mildly NWS for skin [to be safe]
Warnings: None, really. Except for lots of skin. But none of the pervy kind; just anatomical study--of sorts. Truthfully I should have spent more time on the coloring part (approx: a day); the line art took me several months to get to the stage it's in --i.e foreshortening is a whoar.
Notes: This is what happened when I was studying my anatomy art book. Then, I made the poor boytoy pose--and a large mirror was abused. Uhm, as for what is happening: It's supposed to be a dream. A wish. A drug induced fantasy? You decide what and whose.

((Teeny edit: I realize he's holding the wand in different hands... let us just say he's talented. *headdesk*))


*( Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today. )
