There are days when sarcastic attitude rubs me the wrong way. I generally appreciate a well-aimed one-liner, I really do, because sarcasm is not the lowest form of wit but an art form on its own. But... There are days - random days, really, it doesn't depend on anything much - when I see sarcasm aimed my way and frown internally in a "watch where ( Read more... )

Yeah, yeah, I know I'll keep on writing stories. And yeah, some of them are going to be really, really good probably. But then I won't be able to promote them properly because I'm to awkward about it, too demanding, too shy and whatnot. And so, what could be the gems of some famous author's short story collections will be stuck with me. A complete ( Read more... )

So. I'm studying in England, crammed in a small single-person room in a huge hall of residence which generally doesn't bother me much, since I have lived in various places by now and I'm somewhat adjustable.

Today, however, I had a particularly hard time focusing on my homework. Well, all right, there are heavy construction works going on just a ( Read more... )

Since dracomaleficium asked me to do this, I went through my bookmarked Picture of Dorian Gray fanfics, trying to comment on them as objectively as I only can... Which is definitely more objective than me reccing Hamlet fanfiction. But still biased as hell - which is why there's hardly any Basil/Dorian/Basil on the list... Oh, well. Without further delay:

First in the row, Hermes' theme; fitting both his original and modern!AU self. The mix of jazzy, happy music and twisted lyrics is just so very him, I'm ashamed I didn't notice the connection ( Read more... )

After several traumatic dream experiences (I blame report-induced stress), my brain finally came up with something relatively funny... And a little hot, if you know what I mean... Anyway, I decided to share it with you, so here goes:
I'm not sure what the location was, but it seemed like a mesh of all school buildings I've ever been to (with those ( Read more... )

Pondering upon a certain girl that's quite important in Ex Machina's extended timeline, I came up with something that might be called "the greatest love confession ever made by one Anthony Thistle":

Anthony: (after realizing his picture-posing offer was taken for something entirely different and clearing said misunderstanding) Besides, if you're ( Read more... )

 While you wait for the next chapter (sorry, Summer months are always somewhat sluggish for me), have another handful of songs that basically make the story happen... And as the title says, some might be slightly spoilerish... Then again, they might only seem so to me since I know what will happen in the nearest future.

( Probably the biggest musical medley so far )

 I've spent basically the whole of yesterday on TVTropes (instead of writing my report; yes, I know that's stupid), reading about creepy stuff people come up with in fiction, movies and, specifically, music - because nothing wakes you up better than a creepy chord at 5 AM, RIGHT?

So. Less than an hour ago one of the girls posted a note, saying the results are finally in. Went to check the group's mail, opened the list, went through it and...
