Is it madness?

Mortal why are you looking at me I didn't do anything.

So there are wildfires going on nearish to where I live (not super close though or anything), but near enough that when we woke up this morning it looked like we had rainclouds but it was all smoke. Luckily it cleared up in the afternoon enough for me to still be able to walk home, though Scottie said he'd pick me up of course if it didn't. Literally the last time I saw air quality this bad was when the volcano here was erupting. I don't think I even saw this much when we lived in Wyoming and smoke in the air meant it was fall. xP SMOKE EVERYWHERE


Jinafire: Heath did you do this?
Heath: No why does everyone blame me??
Loki: Join the club.

Goodnight my pancakes~

First off, Just directing you to my Ask Me Anything entry here (clicky!) in case you haven't asked a question yet! I'm really looking forward to answering your questions, they're fun! :3

So tonight I decided to take some pictures of Heath and Jinafire. Heath had a question...


I have a question for you darling...

( What happened? )

Thank you

Funnily enough I was watching the most recent episode of Suburgatory and that was all about proposals.
The proposal at the end was SO CUTE. I also love that Dahlia walked by with her number while texting.
I think I have wedding stuffs on the brain because that sort of stuff is going on in my RP too. WEDDINGS. WEDDINGS EVERYWHERE.


I also watched a bit of TV tonight! I finally got to watch the Avengers Assemble special, and it was amazing! There was a fair amount of Hiddles and Loki clips, and that always is a good thing. x3

This is an accurate description of me
But not just that, all the Marvel squee in general! I was so excited to see all the clips (I mean, I'd seen a lot of the clips or heard the stories before because I troll youtube like, well like the fangirl I am, but I still loved it eeee <3)
I especially liked being able to share it with Scottie, because he's a fan while I'm a fanatic. There's a difference. ehehehe It was exciting to share how adorkable Clark Gregg is, and for Scottie to see the mastermind Feige, and everything else. x3
Though I couldn't help but be annoyed by the lady that said "Loki is the villian you love to hate and hate to love" (I think, I'm tired).

Hating Loki isn't even in the realm of my world, and I have exactly zero problem with my Loki love. I know that I can't speak for all of Loki's Army, but I'd imagine that's not an uncommon thing? So I feel like she kinda missed the point of all the fan love Loki has. Also I get annoyed by having that sort of put in my mouth. (This is a pet peeve of mine that includes a lot of things including a ton of assumptions about girls and comic book movies and Loki just grumble grumble grumble. xP)
But back to the awesome!
Also something that was awesome about the show- it sold Scottie on Guardians of the Galaxy! I think he might have also gotten more excited about Winter Soldier. For GotG I was sold on it immediately, but Scottie hadn't seen much about it and so wasn't as sure. I'm even more sold on Winter Soldier.
I'm really excited about all the upcoming movies! I'm most excited about whenever Loki 3 starts filming, but you know how I am. xD

Scottie had fun with me squeaking at him again. I asked him if I was speaking fangirl when I'd been talking about the Marvel cartoons, but said that if it was fangirl it would probably make more sense (it should at least have words geeking out about stuff!), he said it was broken fangirl. I just get so excited I just start squeeing. lol

ANYWAY. So that was awesome. Scottie said he felt bad it had taken so long to watch it, but I knew we needed to move some of the other stuff off of the DVR first since that particular show wasn't going anywhere. n_n

Let's see, we also watched an episode of Face-Off, we're still an episode behind still though. We watched the Willy Wonka episode.

I wasn't surprised that the plant sent the girl home, it turned out really really poorly. Sad that the show is a sausage fest now though.
I wasn't sold on the little guys alien looking thing. I still don't know anyone's names I am doomed this season. It made me think of Jar Jar Binks in a way, and that's not really a good thing.
I reall liked the black and white two sided make-up, but like Scottie said the lack of colour was an odd choice.
I am really glad that the wormy make-up won! That guy is my favorite, so I'm happy for him.

I also watched the first episode of Jim Henson's Creature Challenge. That was an interesting show. I don't like it as much as Face-Off, but it was interesting.

I need to change my icons this weekend. I need moar Hiddles~

I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. I don't like the dentist but at least it's just a cleaning/check-up.

So I have been wanting to do a human Loki sculpt, and this weekend I was very inspired to start! I was planning on working on Pony!Loki armour as well, but I didn't get quite that far. I am certainly going to continue on that though! I have a lot of pony ideas still floating around too, lol. So many things that I want to do!

The clay that I'm using for this sculpt is a mix of the last of my Super Sculpey (which I have to say makes me nervous, I'm running rather low on clay. :S) and Premo. I think that this is a nicer thing to work with than straight Super Sculpey, since I prefer working with Premo. So I worked up a batch of clay, then got a core ready, and plans, and started sculpting! It felt good to be starting in on a new sculpt, and I'm happy with how it's coming along. :3

Here's the progress from today:


While I was working Scottie and I watched the newest episode of Believe. I liked the episode up until the end. More specific thoughts under spoiler cut:

I was sort of annoyed by the end of the episode. I like that the girl is powerful, though I can see why someone might not want her to be too powerful. It's less scary if nobody can ever harm them. But. She's always done something when bad things are happening. And she said that the big things happen when she's angry, and from the sounds of it those things aren't exactly concious decisions. So when something bad happened and suddenly she was too scared to do anything... I was like, you're being kidnapped and the guy you're traveling with has been attacked and the gas station is going to be burned down... now is the time you're going to not get angry? It's annoyingly inconsistent. I'd much rather she had her energy get drained so she wasn't able to manifest powers instead of "randomly she'll change from a badass magical girl to a helpless flailing child for no discernable reason". Or something. I understand she's a child, but they've made that a less plausible problem when they said that she does things unconciously to protect herself and others. :/ It's a pet peeve of mine when characters do that. I really hope that doesn't become a common thing for the series because it will start to annoy me fast, and I like the show except for that and would like to continue to like it.


How is it the end of the weekend already? Boooooo.

More things that I want to talk about, but I need to get to sleep (ack how is it so late??). Time for bed!

So I took more pictures of my lovely new addition to the ghoul family, my W1 Lagoona with her hydration station! I took a full picture of Lagoona in the station.
( Shot of the hydration station )
I really like the stand, it's a pillar of translucent blue bubbles, which is really cool! You can use it inside of the hydration station, or you can attach it to a regular base that comes with it as well. There are other accessories that I didn't take pictures of yet, those will come later.

Then I took her outside, but I thought that I'd leave Neptuna, her pet, inside in the "water". You can see the stand inside better in this picture.

Lagoona: Hey Neptuna!

Of course, I had to bring my other Dead Tired dolls in. :3
( More pictures of the ghouls )

Best ghoulfriends

As agentbethbonsai pointed out, the colour scheme of Neptuna is quite like Pinkie Pie! And I agree with that, so I had to take a picture of the two of them together since I have a Pinkie Pie! xD Let's pretend that I have Lagoona's fish bowl purse


Welcome welcome welcome I say how do you do~

( Welcome welcome welcome I say hip hip hurray )

I also watched the last episode of Face-Off tonight!
I was both really nervous and really excited about the anime episode. xD The teasers that were shown didn't look entirely promising. I liked the second place anime girl makeup (I mean it had issues, but I think she did a decent job), but I also really liked the winning look. The koi makeup was really outside the box, but it was clearly the nicest thing and I could also see it being able to show in an anime.
I can't say that I agreed with them using their special save for the plant mad scientist. I really had expected them to use it for an accident or something- like in the previous season where one of the artists had a mold fall on their hand and so they lost time while they were hurt, or when the vetern fabricator (his name isn't coming to me mrpgh) sculpted a huge body thing that locked up and was un-useable. I wasn't expecting them to let just someone with poor time management and a weak concept for the challenge through, but I suppose they can't hang on to that save forever either. Ah well.
Now it is time for bed though!

Ending with Hiddles being an adorable dork in a bathtub, because it is vaguely related and I do what I want. xD

Still not feeling well, so here are some previously unposted photos I took of Jinafire and Heath. I thought that I might post them around now because of the romantic holiday times. n_n


Hello Darling~

AREN'T THEY CUTE TOGETHER


( More pictures of Heath and Jinafire )

I was super excited today because Top Gear was finally showing the new episode that had Hiddles as the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car!

It aired last week across the pond, but didn't show here until this week. I know that I could have found it online somewhere, but I decided to wait and watch it on tv all official like. xD
The interview was amazing too! I loved how they were talking about the Jaguar #GoodToBeBad ad campaign that he's a part of, and how he was acting all cool and collected for the shoot while up in the helicopter:
Acting:


Actual Feels:


Considering how bad I felt today, which was at least a bit better than yesterday, I was especially excited to have that to watch today! Luckily too I had the day off today because it's a holiday (President's Day).
I'm going to stay home from work tomorrow too, since while I usually am ok with just pushing through work no matter how crappy I feel, these last couple of days are not those kind of days.

I was really excited to watch the final bit of Olympics ice dancing, cuddled up with Scottie. I thought Meryl Davis and Charlie White had a really nice performance, and I have to say that I was in love with her outfit. So sparkly! Also, while I loved their performance, I had to laugh whenever her skirt would go fluttering in front of his face in lifts. What's visability? Not that it was necessary, and not that it was blocking his view for long, but it amused me anyway. xD
I also loved Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir! Their performance was really nice.
Maia Shibutani and Alex Shibutani's performance was a lot of fun! I wasn't sold on it when it started, because of the song choice. But then it went from the first Michael Jackson song to Man in the Mirror, which will now forever make me smile because I've heard Hiddles sing it, and shoot there is a gif of it on my journal RIGHT NOW in an entry with him singing it (Priorities I haz dem)... And then they went to Thriller and I love that song, and so I got more into it as it went. Also really liked the costume change he did mid performance. Not as good of a performance as others but I thought it was a lot of fun.
When Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalap came on I was like IS SHE THE BLACK SWAN and she was. Scottie said that they did really good, but it seemed like they needed more practice to get their great individual things to flow together, and that if they were early in their career that they'd end up being more of a threat later. And then they said that she was only 19, and he was 22, and that we'd be sure to see more of them, so he totes called that.

Also, I was just on DeviantArt. I went and poked around and noticed that people have been commenting on my stuff, and putting my stuff in faves and I had absolutely no idea. xD I've been a member of DA for more than 10 years, but for the most part I never uploaded anything until recently. I have a whole crapload of things in the notices thing that I've been meaning to clear out that have built up over those 10 years, though for some reason it didn't occur to me that was where I needed to be looking at for activity on my stuff. I felt like I was in a bubble and that nobody saw anything I put there. Not true, I was just unintentially ignoring people! Erm, oops.

I told Scottie that Robecca reminds me so much of Cordelia from BtVS (Charisma Carpenter), I think it's especially pronounced in these pictures!

( Spiders! They want me to tap dance! I don't want to tap dance! )

Now here are more of the detail pictures:


I love her gear eyes!


I tried to show the gears on the back of her calves, they spin!

( More detail pictures )

Tonight I did some more sculpting on the Loki pony. I worked more on the face sculpt, then attached the head to the body. I did some sculpting around the neck, and also planned the ears. I didn't get quite as far as I'd have wanted to, but still- got some done!



Tomorrow I should be able to finish up the neck, then sculpt the ears and start the mane and tail. :3

In other news, Scottie has been an amazing chef lately (like he always is, but still!) Since I was sick on Sunday he made chicken noodle soup for me from scratch. It was so good! And then yesterday he made homeade spring rolls, which were amazing. I was also having a craving for spagetti last week when I was feeling the most sick, and he ran out at midnight to get spagetti and sauce so I could have spagetti. He's such a sweetie! xD I think he wanted to make sure that I was eating so that I'd be able to get better sooner.


So sleepy, I hope I'm making some amount of sense. Time for bed!

So I edited a couple of pictures that I took with Heath and Abbey last night. I wanted to do something a little different, so there's only a couple of them. Now I know that they aren't perfect, but it was just a bit of fun. :3

And yes, my version of Heath is suave. Have you seen his cheekbones? That has to give him a wicked bonus to Charisma. xD


Would you like to see a trick?


Ta-daaaa~

(I just can't help myself.)


I have a couple more pictures to do still from that set, but I should get to bed. Goodnight my lovelies!

I have a couple of dolls that I got actually back in the fall that I hadn't unboxed yet (my reasons for not unboxing them are a little odd, but that's sort of irrelevant.) I decided to unbox my Heath/Abbey set this weekend! I actually have a plan for Heath, which is why I finally decided to unbox them just now. :3

( Picture of them before unboxing )

But I decided to do a little photoshoot of them with the props that came with them, they're a Home Ick set and the theme is Recipe for Disaster.


Heath: Are you sure this is the right ingredient?
Abbey: Of course is right ingredient.

( The rest of my photostory for a recipe for disaster )

So on Thursday when I was walking home I was tweeting that it was cold, that the cold was making my eyes water, and the tears were freezing because it was so cold. And that it was making it hard for me to read my twitter feed, because I have priorities. Of course, halfway into my walk the cold drained my phone's battery so I couldn't keep looking at twitter anyway, but that's beside the point. xD

When I got home, Scottie had a cup of hot chocolate ready for me, which was really sweet! I'm not sure if he'd seen my tweet or if he just knew I'd be cold, but he's just awesome.
He'd also gotten out our little Christmas tree and set it up! He wanted to surprise me. :D The tree still needed to be trimmed because he knows that I like to do that, but it was so sweet of him to do!

Last night I decided to do what I've been meaning to do since I got Saya (my Elfdoll Soah), to do a photoshoot of her decorating our tree! It seems like the perfect thing because it's a really good size.


Where do I put this?


Hmmm...

( The rest of the tree trimming pictures )


All finished!

I wish I had a slightly more interesting background, like what I do with my Monster High dolls, but erm she's just a touch (or quite a bit more than a touch at 60 cm) larger than a Monster High. lol
