Don't you just love it when you find graphics tutorials that are easy to adapt for not-Photoshop and take about 20 minutes to do? XD


But then I realised that I don't have a paid account/a proper website and the banner is the wrong size for Bebo, so this is going on my LJ for anyone else to take and use.


(click for actual size)

Credits for textures/techniques/tutorial used are here and I don't remember where the brushes are from except that I think that site's been dead for a while. And I have no idea where I got the render or who that character is. orz

Please credit if using....though it's not that great anyway OTL

...well, not officially, since I doubt it's actually swine flu, but I'd rather not risk infecting everyone else (and some time out doesn't hurt >.>)

I'm so incredibly sorry for not having done the stuff that's been requested of me (that's drabbles + proofing + those summaries of Number I still haven't gone back to). I haven't had the time or the inspiration to do them, but I honestly haven't forgotten (which makes me feel even guiltier) So if you want to beat me with a stick for this go ahead, since it's my own fault for letting things pile up.

THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG THIS WEEKEND:

• I caught the flu. Why this always happens when I go to Bekah's house I have no idea, but it's damn annoying.
• My computer was spontaneously infected with a virus. It didn't do anything and my AVG removed it right away, but how did it get into a file I downloaded 3 months ago?
• I can't write anything (even my school report thing) AGH
• In general, the only thing I had good luck with today was poker. (Even the rugby league team I'm backing is losing.)

...so really the entire reason for my not being in a writing mood boils down to a) I have cramp again and b) this video crushing my morale:

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble/ficlet of any pairing/character of their choosing from me (word prompts are good too).

Needless to say, mine are probably going to be rather short.....and ten people is a stretch...XD

But ask away, though my fandoms are somewhat more varied than my interests/tags might suggest...

...yeah, I'm going to try and type this all out now because I'm suicidal like that....

WARNING: VERY VERY looooooooooooong.....

As always, translation help is much needed and loved, especially since this chapter has almost as many tricky parts as chapter 6....

( scary ninja meido is scary )

Thinking of going semi-friends only, since there really isn't much to see here and most of the people with even the slightest interest in what I post are on my flist anyway.

Obviously I'm leaving memes, writing (if I ever do any) chapter summaries and stuff like that open, but everything else...well...

From electrumqueen :

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
 EDIT: AIGH coding fail BRB

EDIT2: ...uh...the set from the first comment are different to the second time so guess I'm posting 8 instead of 6....

( ugh why is my html failing meeee )

...okayyeahiknowthisismassivelyoverdueosnappleasedonteatme.

I do have genuine reasons why this is so late, but they all sound too much like excuses. To sum up, my computer broke down for about a month and took my motivation for summarising fight scenes with it.

After that, I guess I was just too tired to remember...XD

So, here we go~ This chapter gives us some backstory for Sakura and a nice dose of OMINOUS FORESHADOWING. orz

As always, this is intended to be read with either the Chinese or Japanese raws handy. Links can be found further back in the community if you don't have them.

...so I was going to use this post to emo about my life and all that, but then I saw this:

see this post

AHAHAHAHAHA ONO DAISUKE WTF

Stolen from jusrecht 

→ Name a fandom, and I'll tell you my:

One True Pairing Ship
Canon Ship
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship
"You are one sick bastard" Ship
"I dabble a little" Ship
"It's like a car crash" Ship
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship

(Feel free to do more than one since my current fandoms far outnumber my flist)

Yeah, you knew this would happen eventually. Not posting to any comms since both sides will attack me, but I'm sorely tempted to make some macros from this.

( Cut for WTF )

Uh.

x-posted, as usual. Also sorry for the copious fail and crack comments. XD

( cut for huge tl;dr )

...this.

yeah I'm really lazy like that. OTL right now walking to/from school = ugh.

Yeah, it's really really late and everyone else did it already but I'm posting it anyway. orz

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...

6. Considering how late this post is I get the feeling this part of the loop stopped OTL so this is pretty much just the answers.

1: Which anime/manga would you rather be dumped in mid-story? Geass or X?
uh. Probably Geass - (sort of) less angst and probably a much higher chance common people such as myself would survive till the end of the storyline. XD

2: Baroque, Classical or Romantic?
...I...don't really go by time periods, just listen to something and then find out about the piece afterwards because I'm not enough of a music geek. OTL  Probably Romantic since it seems less...repetitive.

3: You have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to smack CLAMP in the face (with no repercussions). Do you take it?
Um. I think I would if only because X STILL isn't finished, (which means Subaru is still stuck on that tower angsting), TRC just kinda completely screws my brain and the curse of thou-shalt-never-get-an-entirely-happy-ending even extends to characters that were designed by CLAMP but didn't get their story written by them.

It wouldn't hurt much, though, because I'm a wimp like that.

4: Someone asks you to cosplay as Nina (they made the costume). Would you?
It depends on how well made the costume is. XD I don't mind cosplaying a character I don't like, I just don't want to be attacked by all the Geass fans that hate her...

5: Sugar or caffeine?
Caffeine, it makes me feel less sick when imbibed in large quantities.

Watashi orenji, watashi orenji, watashi orenji.....


Okay, okay, I know most people make proper posts on their birthdays instead of putting up mindless crap, but I'm too exhausted to be coherent.
