If you're looking for a fire, darling, let me be the spark

Well, I dreamed of chaos theorist Loki.

She was female and in a manga my cousins lent me.

(Lab coat, check. Glasses ditto, the little round wire-rimmed kind. Long lionfish ribbons of shakudo-bright hair, curling out as if on an updraft. She chain-smoked continually in front of her computer, but no one ever saw her light her cigarettes.)

Why can I not get this title in this universe?

(I also dreamed of Edward Petherbridge, but that sort of thing is much less unusual around here.)

I very much want to see. And then there could be storyboarding and then and then and then...

Possibly too much coffee...?

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

possibly! Make sure you are hitting the return bar, if you are writing!

(but still--it really could be great, couldn't it!)

[strange-selkie.livejournal.com]

I approve of the project no one actually suggested, yes. In advance. :)

I am sadly chasing coffee from this morning with the dregs of a two-liter of soda. I got five hours of sleep last night because I was working on the weird artist boyfic.

Also, I didn't know you drew. Clearly I need to pay more attention.

I'm not particularly **good** at drawing! I just have no hesitation about sharing my very ordinary efforts :D

(Here's one, though, in this icon)

It is always good to know an artist. You never know when you'll need passage documents into some strange land in a wardrobe or something, and boom, your artist whips out the Derwents, sucks on the tip of one, and you've got -- as evidenced by the icon -- a nicely representative identity portrait ready to bear you through sundry checkpoints. :)

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I shall be happy to forge create any identity papers you should need.

[strange-selkie.livejournal.com]

See? Nothing handier. *adds your card to the liminal rolodex*

(And you have an icon with a tricorne -- or is it a bicorne athwart?)

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I will have to rely on you to let me know--you will be able to tell me more after you observe our hero in action in this OTT 1980s music video

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

--but tricorne, I believe, yes?

[strange-selkie.livejournal.com]

...Yup, a tricorne in very interesting circumstances. I sometimes wish I'd set the Lesbian Regency Romance well, not in the Regency, because Regency hats were just so blah. (The bicorne held on through most of the Longteenth, because it could go tucked under a gentleman's arm if he was a military man.)

Oh, for God's sake, I am the only person allowed to be self-despairing in this journal. You drew me Arlecchino and Il Dottore. You're good.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

No worries, no worries--not self despairing. Just trying to establish parameters for expectations!

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

(Whoa, look at my enthusiasm for exclamation points in the previous comment. It's hurting my eyes...)

[strange-selkie.livejournal.com]

Is all good. I just won't let you near the mug of soda.
