Random Stuff X: Something Weird

[Kestrel she/her]

I woke up at 4 and have been unable to sleep.

But now I'm getting sleepy again and its almost time to get up.

...incredimazable? Definition, ethnic origin, and use in a sentence.

It is pretty damnation incredimazable.

Incredimazable (adj.): something so fantastic it cannot be described with existing or sensible adjectives. 

Origin: Funtimes 

This Pop Rocks fudge is incredimazable! And also hurting my tongue but do I look like I care.

I see. Thank you.

Ended up finishing Edgedancer on 6 am. No regrets.

@The Honor Spren editing this to add more specific reasons for why I like it...

I love the way you chose to show the glitter in her hair, with the blending of colors into her curls. Her dress is how I'd imagined it, except I'd pictured no white and color all the way through, but   I like it better the way you drew it. The stripes on her socks are a small, subtle bit of chaos that fits perfectly. She's smiling, as always. And the way she's cradling Mister Hamsterface while pointing emphatically at the air just sells the whole thing. 

Wow, thank you. That's really reassuring to know that other people notice those things, even if all I can see is how awkward her arms look . . .

I'm glad you like it so much, because that's what I was hoping for! So, mission accomplished.

I read something yesterday saying that "your writing seems boring and predictable to you because you've read it 8 million times. Other people haven't." I think the same thing goes for art.

I agree with everyone else - it's amazing.  I can but hope that by the time I finally get my Mistborn fanfic finished and up that you are inspired to draw some of my characters.

Disclaimer:  this is in no way a statement of request or pushiness or demand.  Just...this is awesome, and I am envious.

 

Innards have begun to twist around.  I wasn't expecting it this soon; it's highly unusual for cramps to hit before the rest of the Monthly Harbinger of the End Times.

I rifled desperately through my purse, and lo, there was a tiny bottle with two doses of Aleve.  Rejoice, children, for nobody need die this day.

Especially with human figures.  Pick a celebrity.  Look at their face.  Try to figure out what plastic surgery they've had done.  Especially if they haven't had any.  When you look closely at a feature, you can perceive it as "off" in some way.  Seriously, check out Alanis Morissette's eyes.
That and the nagging feeling that you didn't draw it well enough are just minor brain weasels.

The eyes weren't quite right.

[Quiver he/him]

Huh. Green Lantern Corps movie, staring Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart, described as "Lethal Weapon in Space".

Okay DCEU. I'm more a fan of the Simon Baz/Jessica Cruz team up you've got going on in Green Lanterns these days, but I admit, I'm curious.

One thing I have to say, is that I really hate Jessica Cruz. It's not that I hate her character, it's just alternate reality OCD. Any character which has their origins in alternate realities really has me spooked. Simon Baz is great, though.

I've given up trying to understand how Volthoom works. "So he's the first Green Lantern, but he's also the entity powering the power ring of Earth-3 somehow"...?

(Also, her Power Ring outfit was cooler)

I relate more to Jessica's character, though, so I just kind of gloss over the mess that is Volthoom.

I get confused sometimes with the Guardians/Volthoom origins, because that is deeply tied to the Multiverse. Before New 52, Volthoom was found by the Guardians after the Rogue Guardian(blanking on the name) tries to view the start of the universe and causes the Multiverse. IDK about New 52, but just alternate realities mixing in general gives me anxiety.

I generally like alternate universes, but mixing them can have...well, mixed results. I think Power Girl worked well as a survivor of Earth-2 (and the Worlds Finest book, while not very good, had a fantastic story hook for her and Huntress).

But on the other hand you have Spider-Gwen, who...confuses me with her crossovers to the main Marvel Universe.

So...yeah. So far, Green Lanterns hasn't really cleared up the Volthoom situation, and I suspect they aren't going to. Readers are just gonna hae to roll with it, which... I'm fine with, since that book is working on the basis of its characters.

(Plus when they did try to do something plot based, we got the Red Dawn story arc which ended so frustratingly that I nearly dropped the title)

I  feel like Marvel committed suicide with the whole post Secret War alternate realities thing. To me, Miles Morales and Spider Gwen won't ever replace Peter Parker, and Jane Thor is certainly no Odinson.

I'm showing a (beautiful awesome she's reading over my shoulder) friend the picture of Dr Funtimes and she says "I want to eat her! I bet she'd taste like rainbow cake!"

Said friend is interested in joining the conversation hereabouts but is feeling a little self conscious cause she's only read WoK and WoR and doesn't remember them all that well. Can y'all please reassure her she's welcome anyway?

I don't mind Miles (when he isn't being excessively pushed as the new hotness) since my Peter is a 20-30 something year old husband and father.  Miles is welcome to be the teenage Spider-man.

My problem with Marvel, frankly, is how they cherry picked continuity after Secret Wars. Like, Stark no longer being inverted, but Sabertooth is. Or the entire Havok-Wasp mess from Axis not being resolved.

I don't mind AU characters. Heck, Old Man Logan gets the best parts of Wolverine without his baggage, and let's us have Laura! But I feel like Marvel is using the soft reset of Secret Wars and the 8 month gap to make readers forget the earlier stuff happened, which is...frustrating

Yeah, the Spider-Man part of continuity is especially attrocious. Like Miles got importet into the main universe, because his old universe didn't get reconstructed but parts of his supporting cast that were straight up dead are alive again and he doesn't remember them even dying but also he still remembers the Spider-Men cross dimensional cross over with 616!Peter and gah! Meanwhile, Spider-Gwen not only has her own parallel universe but for a time also a series specifically about the different Spider-Men versions from different universes and I'll just stop trying to make sense out of this now.

It only makes sense when you stop trying to make sense out of it.

Really? No answering the urgent question of whether Funtimes tastes like a rainbow cake? There are Portland velociraptors that really want to know!

I didn't know Portland velociraptors liked rainbow cake.  

Anyway, I learned two things today. 

1) I have one of those haircuts that allows me to roll out of bed, hair messy from my having gone to bed straight out of the shower, and simply add some hairspray and make it look pretty good. 
2) Apparently, you need to be 18 or older to buy superglue.  

I also had a strange and kind of unsettling dream last night. 

Spoiler

I dreamed that I had been created by an F. Scott Fitzgerald story, where the numbers 6 and 26 were important motifs. Long story (hahaha) short, I discovered that at 6 PM on my 26th birthday, I would disappear. At 5:51 PM on that day, I was on the subway, trying in vain to get three other women my age to notice me so I could get one of them to take immediate care of Bruce once I disappeared. 

I was very relieved to wake up and remember that I had just turned 27.

1) I don't mess with my hair, like, at all. 

2) Super glue is a lethal weapon. Kids at home, don't play with superglue! Speaking from experience here, I once almost lost a finger DIED playing with super glue

3) How... interesting. Dreams are strange beasts indeed.
