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)

What's he say? Gimme a down'n'dirty version, please...

Isn't that verse awesome? I really need to put it in my rec list, 'cause I love it so. Also? not_refined is also the writer of the Jensen Inside-verse. It's currently up to 53 chapters, and still going strong. Have you read that one?

Nice icons!

Oh George... *shakes head* Seriously man, what the hell?

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.

Oh, ffs. That article almost gave me a coronary. He's trying way too fucking hard now. I don't care if he is or he isn't, but all this recent "real man" talk makes me want to give him a boot up the arse.
