crossover_chickIt's been a quiet, low-key day around here. Our Thanksgiving lunch was bacon mushroom cheeseburgers and French fries, and they were yummy. :D The burgers were turkeyburgers, though, so I guess it sort of counts for the Thanksgiving spirit.
The muses are over at the Inkwell today -- the gang served up a nice big meal today, and then Clockwork got out the catapult. You see, somebody saw the "Punkin Chunkin" commercials on Discovery and realized, "Hey, I have something that can fling such objects!" *good-natured eye rolling* Boys. Since they're busy splatting pumpkins all over the Inkwell's yard, though, we need something else to entertain you. And fortunately, I have something!
Butterfly Boy icons!
"Uh, what?" I hear you ask. "What's so special about his icons?"
They're from concept art and storyboards I found online. I made them all myself.
"And what's so special about that?"
I made sixty.
Yes, I see you all staring in shock. I'm dead serious. Here, allow me to supply proof:
Let's start off with the ones I actually used, with keywords (and occasional notes).
Butterfly Boy's Icons:
*gasp*, Oh God!
how YOU doin', sleazebucket victor is sleazebucket (easily his most hilarious icon -- tell me he doesn't look drunk or something)
beyond stressed out, please make the voices stop (I picked this one because - well, it seemed to best sum up the bad madness times of Touched-hood)
I'm so depressed, life kinda sucks
determination time, I don't have to put up with this (only truly "angry" storyboard Victor I could find; interesting note -- in the storyboard this comes from, the writing underneath indicates he's saying "With this ring, I thee wed." It appears our pretty poem vows came along later!)
pleading Victor, please? (how could you say no to that face?)
amused Victor, lolz (I think this is my favorite icon -- he's just so cute here)
oh CRAP, you let that out of its cage?! (best OH SHIT face of his)
confused Victor, wtf are you doing?
ow! that hurts!, pain does not agree with me
happy Victor, I'm actually cheerful
butterflies, insect studying
anxiety is my best friend, ooh this is so not good
here's a flower for you, romantic victor (the first line is from the Literal Video version of "Making Love Out of Nothing" by Air Supply)
And now the others, sorted by rough category.
General Anxiety
Meeting Emily
Land of the Dead Town Square
(This is from an early storyboard sequence where Victor woke up here instead of in the pub and contains an interesting cut character -- a dead, bloated swimmer)
Oh God It's Right Behind Me/Running Times
Is He Actually Happy?!
Goggles Attempts
Yeah, so, I went a little icon-happy there. Feel free to come up with funny captions/keywords for any of them (and if you do, share!)
Now, I wanted to have another page of "Secundus" up for you today, but it appears Chapter 6 of same suffers from the same glitch as Chapter 2 of "When Worlds Collide." More research will have to be done. In the meantime, here's what NaNoWriMo said my winning word count was:
58178 / 50000 words. 116% done!
Not bad, eh? I'll hopefully be able to share it with all of you later.
