This weekend's obsessions: fanfiction, artwork and underwear

[beelikej]

I had planned to do a lot of useful things today, but then sneaky_sena 'someone' on my flist posted about a fic, I had to click... and spent the next two hours reading all 32 chapters of what turned out to still be a WIP. Luckily the author seems to be updating regularly:) So good, people, I recommend you get sucked into this verse as well: J2, PG13 (I know!) and sweet enough to get this cynic to tear up: The Quiet Verse by not_refined. AU. 16 year old Jared is an amateur pianist who unexpectedly begins to regain his confidence from his teacher’s cousin.

Before I got sucked into the fanfic I managed to do laundry and finish the book I've been struggling with in the past week Meneer Visser's Hellevaart (Mr. Visser's perdition, 1936) by S. Vestdijk. I was going to write a review, but I need some time to recover first.

Other things I managed to get done, despite losing time:

I covered up the equipment in the attic; the scaffolding is already up and builders will start work on the roof next week

I parked some PatD-artwork in my not-very-aptly-named iconcorner

I posted pics of my old and new underwear in my picture corner

I didn't enter this week's challenge on tw_hush, but for those of you who are curious, here are some icons I made earlier:

1. 2. 3.

4. 5. 6.

And a bonus one:


ETA: I kicked George Eads out of my living room. There are only so many crappy interviews I can handle. So you're straight, I get it. But do you have to keep emphasizing how that makes you a 'real man'? I'm very dissapointed, George. (The latest cringeworthy quote comes from this article that was posted by artistic_sillie. It's in Dutch, but if you want a full translation, just ask)

It's been bookmarked. I will hit it as soon as I finish this 87k College AU GSF monster. Because dude. SO good.

I told you I love the PatD artwork, yes? And ohhh, I especially like the Tosh icon that looks a little like a puzzle piece, it reminds me a little of those movie posters you had in the 1960s, for Hitchcock movies etc!

And hmpf. He's laying it on so thick, I can't even be bothered to care anymore. He's pretty much everything that annoys me about the Texan stereotype, and I hate stereotyping people. Grr.

"College AU GSF"?!? Would that be something I could be interested in?

You did and thank you:)

Like I said to Silvia; what the fuck is he trying to prove? Also: I fear for Nick. If George is working this hard to sell the straight-image, I wonder what TPTB are planning.

Can't talk. Keeled by fic.*

(*Meaning, I finished it and will delve into the Quiet Verse shortly!)

Hmm, unless TPTB are actually making Nick gay and George feels like he needs to prove that IT'S JUST A PART HE'S PLAYING, NO REALLY. Which doesn't make me like him any more, but would maybe ensure that I give CSI another go? Really, there's not much that can save it at this point. Besides more Greg.

Ohnoz! I must say the fic is growing on me, but so far I haven't experienced big emotions... If you're up for it, I'm available for analyzing and possible flailing. I'll finish it this afternoon;)

(Can't wait to hear how you feel about baby!J2, that one made me choke up)

Oooh, I like the way you think, because my brain went into the opposite direction; I can't even imagine TPTB being innovative. I will stick by CSI until the end (especially since S8 turned out to be not bad at all when I rewatched it marathonstyle with Sillie), but will definitely bitch (and probably cry) when there is going to be more soap-opera drama to distract from the subtext casefiles. I second the vote for more Greg.
