~~ very late birthday comic-type thing... (!)

[reenka]

Wah! Thess! *cries*

Happy Super-belated Birthday!

<333333333333!!1

( Here be `Fuck you & the Broom You Rode In On' - which is a sort of romance-in-owls comic. Vaguely. You'll see, heh. <3 )

...I am bad with actual um... meaningful Hallmark-type sentiments on demand sometimes, but yes. You've inspired some of the most enjoyable hours of my life, man. Teehee. My love for H/D wouldn't be the same without you. I know, somewhat frightening, but hey. And also, you yourself are brilliant and a delight to know, even though I'm not expressing anything very well right now. Still. <3!

You know how it is. Sometimes you find you can finish things, and sometimes your mind is a roiling mess that refuses to cooperate. Um. I have like, two stories that are yours. Just. Um. You'll have to wait a little, heheh. And by that I mean a little more -.-

I was having that weird state where if I try to write angst, it peters out into sap or comedy, and vice versa. Um. It's been that sort of week, man.

But anyway. This is probably the weirdest gift I've given anyone. Ever. Messed up as I am lately, I wanted to make -something-, and this came out. I have no idea if anyone would want it, but. I made it thinking of your Harry, a bit. Then again, your Harry is like, part of my mental landscape of Harryness, now. He's always there. Watching. Waiting. Ahahahah, um.

The point is. I made an um... I dunno what to call it. A comic? A visual letter-exchange thingie? A random brain-burp?

It's an illustrated bunch of owls between Harry & Draco, with no back-story and no rhyme or reason. Ahahaha. I would've drawn smut, except I really doubt they'd start um... role-playing porn via owls, ahahahaha. Oh man. Though that would actually be hilarious, come to think of it. But. <3 anyway. :-? Yes. Um. Nevermind. Right then.

Inspiration for the owl idea goes to ztrin, btw. Hee! <33333333!!

Reena, dude, that was gorgeous. <333! Miss Thess is so damn lucky to have gotten such an incredibly lovely birthday greeting. Love Draco's snarky voice, love Harry's handwriting. What fonts were those? Both are so fab. So are you. Fabbity fab fab! Whooooo!

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

*beams* <333! Harry's handwriting is one of my favorite fonts, Hilde Sharpie and also Fountain Pen Frenzy. And Draco's is Especial Kay & also Machines of God, eheheh, which I think is a Smashing Pumpkins font, but I'm not sure :>

*preens* Fab is a v. good word >:D

I am jealous! You write good owls and you can draaaawww!

But I get to enjoy it, so I've got that going for me. Loved it!:D

Heee! I'd love "angsty owls" to be a skill all its own :>
I bet it's marketable as hell, too. *giggles*

*preens!* >:D
*bows!*

that was wonderful. i loved the color choice, and the artwork! i didnt know you were an artist (:
i especially liked the one of draco with his hands covering his face

i just noticed how "on" is scratched out in the title image :P bwaha

I dunno if I'm an artist, but I do doodle, eheh. I don't doodle enough to be really good, but I do get better with practice. Heheh. Also, I don't do fanart, mostly. But thank you >:D!

I can't resist dorky jokes, man ;>

[cat-mom.livejournal.com]

Very clever. Talented writer AND artist. No fair! *whines*

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

But some people can do -math-. *giggles*
*beams*
thanks~:)

*winks at you* I take it you received my letter? I thought the envelope would split, man. And your owl-post correspondence is gorgeous, all sepia-toned and inky. <3333

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

;)) heeee! yesh! It's on my windowsill by the bed, hee. I just about died when I saw what it was, man. Or, well, at least I laughed and snorted & bounced a lot. You = brilliantX10000000000!! :D And also you write the cutest H/D bar none except Silvia, teehee.
Bad Speller!Harry. Only you >:D! And yet. You know~:)) I can definitely see it >:D

<33333333 thankyouuuuu :D

Passing by, glad I did

Very funny and romantic, I really love that you can do so much with so few exchanges. I'd even say in character for both. The comment was already mentioned but I have to say that the pic of Draco covering his face is wonderful. Absolutely vivid with life...makes me happy. ^_^ If you painted commissions and I was rich I'd splurge for a portrait of my fiance. Thanks for the enjoyable read.

Interesting tidbits?

And believe or not she did it with a mouse...

Always thought it would be cool to see what she could do with better equipment (http://www.wacom.com/graphire/index.cfm).

But one thing I was thinking of when looking at this set of pictures was: What if, why wouldn't there be letters that could incorporate pictures of the the writer, maybe even incorporating mood and emotion, in a magical sense. Has anyone looked at this concept in fanfiction? One would think that if there were spells to figure out who wrote a certain letter that there would be more advanced spells that woud be able to lift more of the essence of the person writing it. Or why not be able to purposely enchant it to emote when read (much in the way the wizarding photographs that are so commonplace in the books).

Anyway. Just something I was thinking about. One thing I liked was how there seemed to be more depth of rexpression the further in the series you went. Letting my imagination run away with me, I wondered, what if it was like learning how to work ones mind differently, like in the occlumancy lessons, which seemed to hint at a larger realm of mindmagic in the books. At first the images were somewhat abstract, shaky, like they were just learnig how to impress upon their medium, and then later imprinting in a more pure direct sense cvoloring it with shades of emotion here and there. And at the end almost similacra stairign back out of the pages.

Anyway. Probably shoudl stop rambling. But just wanted to add this little bit, even though I'm sure its too late for anyone to read it. Just was interested impressed by the ideas these littel pictures inspired on me.

Eeee, I'm glad the writing bit of it worked for you, since no one's really mentioned it, and it's probably the only thing I have any hope of seeing objectively, since the art bits are "well, this didn't take any time or work so it clearly sucks" and "well, this took time & work so maybe it doesn't suck". Whereas the writing bits have no excuse :>
Wah. That's a great compliment. I'd do portraits for free. It's fun. Thanks, though~:)

[thessamunga.livejournal.com]

oh reena, i do love you :)) <33 it is lovely! hopefully i will find a good job and get my mother off my back, ie more time online, very shortly. :-*

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

:D! i hope you do too, 'cause well, you'd be happier that way ^^;
i was worried you didn't like it when you didn't reply, and stuff, and. okay. all better now~:)
good thing my lj angst decreased dramatically once i decided that flist doesn't equal "friends"~:))
at least. that would be my working theory :>
<3!
