reenkaomg, omg, OMG, i saw x2 and then what happens? i come home and zahra's written more bobby/st. john slash, and you know, i watched the movie and you know what?? i didn't slash anybody! my heart was pure! pure as ...pure.... pure as....okay, not pure because i was perving over the boys (THE BOYS!!), and you know, i was all, awww, over rogue/bobby (even though rogue is meant to be with gambit, dammit it people GET IT STRAIGHT!!) and.
then. then. now.
i read zahra's bobby/st. john fic, like i said, so noooowww, in -retrospect-, obviously i agree that st. john is The Hotness. i swear, the whole movie, -rogue- was the hotness, to me. that -mouth-. i -want- that girl, man. i really, really, really do. but my -god-, yes, what was i -thinking-. but see, you may not believe this (-i- may not believe this), but when it's fresh in my mind, i'm actually kinda sorta a canon whore and there wasn't any actual -chemistry-, i thought, between johnny and anybody, really. well, not bobby. bobby didn't strike me as hella interesting.
but holy fuck, batman, bobby/st. john is REALLY VERY HOT. like a lot. yes. and i'm all, "MY GOD WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS", and i mean, i -know- why, but. i dunno. and here i thought i'm an impossible slasher 'cause i was slashing the two guys in the `bad boys 2' preview, believe it or not. and i don't really find either of them -that- hot, but they had -chemistry-, man. see, st. john wasn't giving bobby those sort of looks. he just wasn't, that i remember. i mean, okay, pyro is one hot amoral biotch, but. see, he needs someone fitting to fall for before i'd slash. sigh.
anyway, johnny's slashability aside, the three fics are... well... it's zahra, what can i say. i'm writing smut right now, and i'm tempted to just -stop-, because guh, i can never compare, dude. can never compare. no, seriously. DUDE. zahra's bobby/st. john is of the hotness. and now i'm all about the boy-love once again (stupid het movies distracting me..!..! wah!). really, i should stop reading my friends list altogether when i've got -anything- else to do, shouldn't i -.-
still, goddamn. i'm a bobby/st. john shipper now, man. i really, really am. w00t! ...reading `on love and lust at mutant high' by seperis-- oh yah, i think as usual, i'm learning more from fanfics than i ever have from movies. damn. have to re-watch sometime, now.
really, it shouldn't surprise me anymore, the way slash changes -everything-. the way you don't even -notice- so many things which slash forces you to. suddenly, all the little looks and sub-plots and secondary characters actually -matter-. a combination of slash & fanfic, anyway. suddenly, there's a whole -world- there, and not just enough for the plot to work. wow. it still blows me away, really.
and just how darkly, wonderfully hot and darkly sinful is this?

ashjay's h/d would've sent me into high orbit, but zahra got there first. i'm sorry boys, pyro/iceman have my...erm..... heart at the moment. gimme a few hours to um... recover. because, yes. am very dead. but that is just v. v. much how i imagine `to rule in hell'!harry to smirk like. mmmmrrrrrrrrrrr.~~
and mostly, um.
- Happy belated Birthday,
wankersore! -hee. i always wanted to draw this, and this was my chance, so um, forgive me, it takes me forever to finish things [especially when i have classes eating my brain. but um. seeing your ginny site was the first time i thought i loved her, so here....]

Date: 2003-05-08 07:24 pm (UTC)The reason you didn't see it is that Bobby in the movie isn't real Bobby who is funny and practical joking and silly and would SO be lame and crushy over Johnny.
You know Jenn just makes all that stuff up in her series, right? Ok, just to be clear.
I love the striped socks and shoes on that picture. I want them! I need me some striped socks and red mary janes.
LJ doesn't want to let me post my comment, because it's a big ol' bitch.

Date: 2003-05-08 08:01 pm (UTC)batman lurve is basically the fox cartoon (wow, sad), and partly the old tv show (can't believe i watched that).
so yah, i love rogue/gambit 'cause they were cool on the cartoon. heee. and same for storm (i LOVE cartoon!storm-- but it seems like i love any and all incarnations of storm, really) and jubilee. my fave characters are-- storm, jean grey, xavier, rogue, gambit, professor x. i've only ever liked wolverine in the movie.
i also liked x-man (the comic).
my love for spiderman was all based on the hokey 70s tv series, and anyway, spiderman is my favorite superhero on principle, 'cause he's dorky and makes wisecracks without being gothily depressed. hee.
for awhile, in the 80s anyway, there wasn't much rogue/gambit in the comics as far as i know, and the cartoon was mostly playing it up way more than was canon. i've -heard- they've done more with the pairing in the 90s, but i don't know exactly what. i know that rogue fascinates me because of her powers. that's how it is with all the x-men. i totally prioritize based on powers.
storm has got the coolest ones-- basically the ones i want. i want to be storm. no, seriously. she's got a) the name; b) the looks; c) the powers; d) the attitude. i just love her to death.
jean has got the powers, man. the powers. her and scott were the original marvel girl and marvel boy (i -think-), and it shows. classic powers, i can't resist. scott is boring, but jeans' powers are just hard to beat. i -would- want to be her, but... a tad too boring. sigh.
anyway, xavier's probably got the coolest amount and type of power (godlike, anyone?), but it's hard to want to either be xavier or ship him, so he isn't in the game, though i'm fascinated with him.
never liked wolverine that much because his powers don't intrigue me, really, though they're cool. plus he wears yellow and he's manly. erk.
jubilee has the coolest-looking powers (i so want to do sparkly-magic type attacks, eheheheh-- no seriously, that's so me) plus she's got a cute attitude, so i wuv her.
gambit is v. cool-- fascinating character, great powers, he drawls, and he's in love with an unobtainable girl (rogue). see, loving rogue is a big part of what makes gambit so interesting, to me. 'cause it's all doomed and impossible and it's -tension-.
but rogue.
rogue.
she's fantastic. she's cursed by her powers-- and yet they're so huge. it's not like jean grey, who's sometimes taken over but mostly okay. rogue's constantly living this horrible existence, and yet she's funny and strong. she can't touch anyone (what a great storytelling device), and yet she can FLY and kill people with a -touch- and -acquire their powers- and she's like, impossibly strong, too. i dig that lots. as in, lots.
so yah. heh.
and yah, i know jenn made some stuff up, but it was just making me pay attention, which it seems fanfic makes me do but i don't do just from watching a movie, naturally ><;;
A long, long time ago...
Date: 2003-05-10 11:51 am (UTC)Ah. Yes. The long time in the subject refers to a time back in distant memory, or at least it certainly feels like that, when you requested an in-flight kiss pic. I hope this is at least somewhat what you had in mind... as always, by this point in the drawing I've lost all perspective. (The kiss itself was inspired by a rewatching of one of my favorite movies. Funny how that works.)
Stalling? Me? *deep breath* All right. It's okay if you don't like it, really. I'll be fine, I've just had too much coffee. *g*

no...words...only........choking....noises.......
haaapppyyyy plaaaaaaaaceeeeee............ i think...a big, heartfelt sums up my feelings at this point. also, o_0!!!..!..!..!
*worships pic & you for drawing it*
so... beautiful... am.... dead....
X_X
first thought was... are they -real- (no, seriously, thought it was a photo).....
guh.
the realism & the -sweetness- and draco's shining hair and... their pose... *cries* and the snitch.. and...and.... wahhhhhhhhh. it's really really beautiful. and emotional and ...intense, and HOT and *gibbers*
the -colors-. that -red-. waahhh. and did i mention the realism? because i am still dead from it.
!!
!
!!
have you seen X art (http://www.tenebris.org/x_art/x_art_other.html)? she's the only one who does photo-realistic stuff like this. ack, but only harry/snape, because she is evil like that.
and the WRIST GUARDS!!
warg. *incoherent*
i wish i could reciprocate -somehow-. like, anything you want, i'll try to do. no, really, i just .......*speechless*
the FOLD on draco's robe. the feeling of movement. THE PRETTY! the pretty is killing meeeeeeeeeeee..!..! *cries* wah.
thank you so, so much. *goofy grin*
and, eeeee. i'm glad you like the ginny pic :D
didn't expend as much effort on it as i should've, but you can tell that i did try on the shoes. *laughs*

Oh, I'm beaming here. Seriously, you don't even know. I'm so glad you like it! It was such a challenge, and there were so many times when I wanted to make it *naked* quidditch, because of all the freaking folds in the robes, but you know what? It's all worth it since it made you happy. (That's why I love doing requests. *g* )
first thought was... are they -real- (no, seriously, thought it was a photo).....

Oh that is wonderful, wonderful to hear! It ended up being a bit more realistic than I'd planned - I've never done one in this style before. But I drew the faces first, and very detailed, and then I couldn't bring myself to simplify them so, naturally, everything else had to be more complex. Which essentially means that everything I hated doing about this picture was my own damn fault.
I love the way the hair came out, and the snitch. The kiss, being inspired by one of my favorite movie kisses, I also love. The fic that goes with it is... silly. But I like it. *g* (Ah, isn't that red wonderful? I amped up every other color in the picture just to have an excuse to keep that red.)
X art's work is amazing, I've never seen it before but it's beautiful. I don't know if I could do that as consistently as she does - my art tends to be somewhat schizophrenic. From cartoon to cartoon-with-shading to realistic to... yeah. There's no logic.
Reciprocation, eh? I shall think on it. It would be mindbogglingly stupid of me to turn down that kind of offer from an artist/writer of your caliber. Oh, the things I could ask of you... *g*
Thank you again for the idea, I never would have thought of it without you, and it never would have come out so well if I hadn't been making it for you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

~ Grr. Those shoes.
~ Why can't I do feet?
~ Grr.
Re: A long, long time ago...
Date: 2003-05-10 04:55 pm (UTC)her legs are like, freakishly long, not to mention her torso. *laughs*
there's a -reason- i usually draw them naked first. d-oh. the one time i didn't, this happens. (looked at that pic, where the skirt is right above her knee, realized my dress-length is just pretty much not possible. sigh.)
hee. i still haven't gotten it in my head that i -need- reference photos like i need sustenance, obviously. so lazy. at least i hope people didn't just cringe and groan, looking at it, and they liked the shoes, so it's not a total loss. shoes, check. rest of body-- ouch. she's been on the rack, poor child.
*laughs* and yah, i know how frustrating getting perspective/body-arrangement things right is. at least it's worth it in the end, when people worship you and give you money. *snorts*~:)
