crossover_chickSheesh, can you believe it? At least the weather's finally gotten nice -- in the 80s all day, and we didn't start out with fifty tons of fog and clouds. I actually had to wear sunscreen when Mom and I went out for our walk.
Anyway, not too much to report. Tweaking continues on the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
secundus_cast bios, though I think I'm very close to putting them up. Also wrote some more on "Love Will Find A Way." One of these days. . . .
I did however find another CB icon to use -- you can see it up there. *points to the icon she's using for this entry* I also have a candidate for a Victor/Alice icon:
It's really my first time messing around with the free-form selection tool in Paint -- what do you think? Okay enough for an LJ icon? Make attempt #2? (I might do that anyway.) I just wanted something that looked like them snuggling.
-OD: *tentacles inspect* Not bad for a newbie, I would say. *Verne* It would help if her background was more similar to Victor's.-
Yeah, I know, but this is one of those shots where she looks something approximating HAPPY. You know, making shippy images becomes really tough when one half of the couple is involved in a canon that rarely gives her reason to smile.
Also, in the world of Alice, Epic Weapons is selling prop replicas! As you can see, there's a couple of versions of Alice's Vorpal Blade -- an AMA design, and big and little versions of an A:MR design -- and a Teapot Cannon teapot that you can actually use. And a Pepper Grinder that doesn't appear on the page for some reason -- also completely useable.
-TTV: Goodness. How expensive is all of this?-
Pepper Grinder is $45, Teapot Cannon teapot is $50, the AMA knife is -- huh, no price given. But that's a limited edition thing -- 1,000 only made -- so it's expensive, I'm sure. The big AMR knife is $90.
-M: *whistles* And the little one?-
. . . $14.
-M: . . .What?-
I'm serious. The little version is $13.95 according to their site. A previous version of the copy said it would be a great letter opener.
-M2: Letter open -- IT'S AN ACTUAL FREAKING KNIFE?!-
Yeah. Japanese stainless steel. Surprised me too.
-D: It worries me that you've had that window open all afternoon.-
Look, I know it's a bad idea to have an actual freaking knife around, but a girl likes to look. It's a pretty blade.
-TD: Please go back to just stalking the forums. You're worrying us.-
*rolls eyes, but does want to see what's new, so goes ahead and does that*
