Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

Pfff, what a month it has been! Or, months, really. I feel like I've been occupied with moderating the spn_reversebang forEVER. I didn't even have time left to check out the art or fics myself! Now that this event is done and the masterposts are up (SPN art&fic & RPF art&fic), I want to write a 'Day in the Life of a Mod', but first I need to get some other stuff out of the way.

I didn't have time to do a full picspam of our Sinterklaas celebrations, but for those of you who are curious about the creative part, I did share the surprise packages I built in my Instagram.

In between modwork and real life work, I did participate in a couple more challenges for landofart. Due to lack of time, I had to skip a few Hide & Seeks, as well as Challenges 14 (Mirrored) and 18 (My Favorite), which both seemed awesome, so I hope they will return in a future Land of Art Phase. Challenge 16 was a Halloween puzzle challenge and is therefor not included in my graphic designs below (I didn't solve the puzzles very fast, but I did earn 20 points for my efforts, yay).
If you missed it, previous creations for Phase 17 are here: Challenge 1-9. Below you'll find all the rest:

( Challenge 3 - Hide & Seek )

( Challenge 4 - Rainbow Things )

( Challenge 10 - Who Did It Best )

( Challenge 11 - Colored Association )

( Challenge 12 - Bookmarked )

( Challenge 13 - Hallowed Treats )

( Challenge 15 - Being Profiled )

( Challenge 17 - Christmasfy )

Comments are lovely, questions and concrit is also welcome!

To catch up with all the art & fic in fandom, I haven't joined any current events. Hopefully I can get creative again next year, we'll see.
If you have any recommendations of (recent) fanworks, let me know! I plan to dive into fandom in between work and making New Year's cards;)

The last challenge of Phase 11 started right at the beginning (hence number 5). It was a whole list of different design items for the teams to work on during the whole cycle. We had to hand in all as a team and got individual points and teampoints. I made 2 gifs, 1 picspam, 1 tumblr graphic and an extra colouringpage; three of these designs feature Jeffrey Dean Morgan, *grins*

Brotherdearest came over yesterday and I made a cauliflower-ovendish, which was delicious (if I do say so myself;) We talked about life, computers and traveling. He's going on a trip to Bangkok/Singapore/Indonesia next week and we went through my old photo-albums to check for places he should try to visit. I haven't been to Bangkok, but I spent a couple of weeks in Indonesia with the other brother in 1996 and had a three day stopover in Singapore in 2000 on my way to Australia (jeebus, was it really that long ago?). It was fun until brotherdearest felt it was necessary to mention that he was now the same age as I was in those pictures. Haha, little brother, haha.

Anyway...;)

Of course we ended our evening up in the attic to continue our everlasting Buffy and Angel marathon. We saw Angel S2Ep5 Dear Boy, which was AWESOME (Darla! Sexdreams! Lindsey minus hand (gosh, Christian Kane was wicked in that) & Ep6 Guise Will Be Guise, which was awful (a comedy episode that fell flat on its face, literally. Okay, Angel pouting that he wasn't a eunuch was quite funny, but the rest was yawn worthy) and Buffy S5Ep6 Family, which was all about darling Tara. *happy sigh* That was mm-mm good. (ETA: Forgot to mention the added bonus: baby Amy Adams!)

This morning we had a luxury breakfast before brotherdearest went home again (to host a big party). It was great. Can't wait for him to come back in a month and share his travelstories:)

Tara: Your insect reflection represents your insignificance in terms of karmic cycle.
Anya: It's still not funny.
