Is it madness?

HEY YOU GUYS. I haven't been posting recently, I am so sorry! Honestly my muse has been utterly taken over by writing, and all of that creative energy is going into my Loki RP. My new writing partners are amazing, and I am insane and took on a pile of SLs (storylines). I don't understand the RP accounts that complain about being bored I AM SO CONSUMED BY ALL OF THE ACTIVITY THROWN AT ME THAT I LITERALLY DON'T SLEEP HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE BOOOOOORED

We are creating actual stories and I'm actually immensely proud of my corner of twitter. :3

I have Monster High pictures that I took a little bit ago that I need to edit and put up. Also I got a couple new ponies (there's like a bargin line of MLPs that I found that are only $3.33, and I can even sort of afford that! I have two of them now.)
But I'm not going to do that quite yet because I have things to write first... xD

How would you like to see some of my writing music?

I am obsessed with this song, it speaks to me~

Then there is this song. It is beautiful, and the video is amazing. I had no idea who this girl was before I read the comments, so the tv show she's from is irrelevant. I wish that I'd been able to do this sort of thing as I'd wanted to
The point of the girl is that she's a representation of the singer from childhood being raised by alchoholic parents I guess? I think that's powerful.

This also speaks to meeeee

And last this song:

This song also speaks to me, and since I'm writing to find something beautiful to say...

HERE IS THE MUSIC THAT FUELS THE MORTAL AND HER MUSE ENJOY~

Ok, so I was going to do something productive. I ended up doing something sort of productive? I think? I've been meaning to add more Hiddles/Adam/Loki icons into my icons... so yeah I pruned some of my less used icons and added more of those into my icon lineup. ehehehe It is something that I wanted to do, but it's not exactly the most productive thing that I might have done. I'd meant to do something creative. Erm, oops. But yay for more new icons? xD
I'm irrationally attached to my older icons even if I know that realistically I'm going to pick some flavor of Hiddles for everything so it's hard to prune out icons eeeee
Also realistically I know I'm going to have to prune out more later for more Hiddles related icons. IT IS INEVITABLE.

Scottie and I went to a couple of things today, there was free comic book day and the spring library book sale. There wasn't going to be anything particularly special like I know other areas have for Free Comic Book day, so we didn't end up going to the comic book shop proper since the library also had the selection of free comic books there from the comic book shop, and we were definitely going to the library book sale.
I'm going to go to the comic book shop soon once I get my paycheck so I can check on the status of my pull box, to see if I'm going to start ordering my comics online since they can't seem to get their shit together and actually pull things for my pull box. This is the most frustrating thing, omg, I've talked to them multiple times about it by now and they never fix it. It's not bloody rocket science! I've had to order comics online already- like the last issue of Young Avengers, I missed it because it didn't get pulled for me. THAT WAS ONE OF THE TWO COMICS THAT I STARTED MY PULL BOX WITH HOW DID NEITHER GET ON MY PULL LIST. Why do you have my pull box there with literally nothing to put in it except for one thing that is no longer needed? Why. Do you not want my money. Seriously.

Seriously what the hell.

Ok that wasn't where I was originally going with this. Ok, so the free comic that I was most excited about (not surprisingly) was the Marvel one. xD Rocket Raccoon and Spidey! :D Ok I first wrote that as Rocket Raccoon/Spidey and that... doesn't look right. *koff*

Geez Tanya you're rambley no wonder you ended up randomly uploading icons instead of whatever you were planning on doing instead.

ANYWAY. BOOKS. BOOKS WAS WHAT I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT NEXT.

Books are fancinating things

Scottie got a couple of books about making dollhouses, because he is AMAZING and wants to build dollhouses for me. That would be such an upgrade from my current staging for pictures. I always wanted a dollhouse when I was little. I never did then but I CAN HAVE ONE NOW THOUGH MWAHAHAHA.

I got a couple of books about making cloth dolls (it looked really neat, and that was actually something that I was going to look at playing around with tonight I don't have ADD wut and I got a book about making clay jewelry.

Also while we were there Scottie picked up a couple of books that he'd been waiting on from interlibrary loan.
Ah shoot I was at the library I should have picked up the next Thor collected volume. *headdesk* I'm currently reading a Deadpool collected volume but I needs my Looooooki.

We were also going to do something for Beltane today but we had something of a mix-up with location... so that didn't happen today. I want to do it tomorrow though. I need to burn something which is why we can't just do it inside.
That mix-up caused me to have a massive anxiety attack so I wouldn't have been much good for doing a ritual even when we got home anyway. That wasn't the best part of the day. eheh I have much talent in the realm of doing all the wrong things, let me tell you.

Later me and Scottie played some of the Pathfinder card game that we have, I think that was a good idea to get my mind off of the less good loop my brain had gotten stuck in. :P

Anyway, I have no idea what I'm doing still up. Ooooh just heard Bloody Angel by Avatar and it's an awesome song... NO SLEEP TANYA SLEEEEEP WHEN DID IT BECOME 3AM WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU UUUUGH

Today was my sisters birthday! Her birthday is pi day, which is awesome. I talked to her a bit on the phone. She got to see Thor TDW and said that I must have been happy because there was a lot of Loki in there, and that she was thinking of me because she knows how much I love Loki. xD And also just Marvel in general, since she grew up with my Spidey and X-Men obsessions. lol

So this past week I have had very little sleep and as such have been pretty nonfunctional. I was at work being like "I have to do this thing... what was it? Oh right, this thing... *does something completely different, then gets distracted by something else*" I was just so tired. I knew that I needed sleep badly Thursday night, but I ended up not feeling well so that didn't happen yet again and so I wasn't even running on fumes anymore. Because I was so tired Scottie came and picked me up from work so that I would be safer. I like my walks but I can't say that it was a bad idea! I almost walk into moose on days where I'm not this tired, and when I'm on the road drivers want to run me over, so sleepwalking home might be not the best idea.

Also things were icy because it sort of melted a bit, and then there was rain off and on. I don't know how it ended up being, and I know that I've walked on worse- things were awful for a couple weeks straight a month or so ago when there was a ton of freezing rain. (It stretched my hour or so long walk into a two hour walk, not so fun. xP) But still, more reason to not look forward to walking in it.

This morning when we went out to the truck we commented that it felt like fall, not spring. It's still too early for spring, so it's not surprising. It's been pretty nice this week, rather springy. So nice that the temp had gotten up to I think just under 50F yesterday, and Scottie had pulled out a spring coat! All the snow melted off our deck.
We stopped by the comic book shop with the cold fall weather with some drizzel. We walked out of the store into literally a snowstorm. Our truck was buried, and there was crappy visabilty. The deck that was completely melted off this morning is now buried in deep snow drifts. Loki'd indeed. xD


While I was at the comic book store, I had wanted to check on if the next issue of Loki: Agent of Asgard was out yet, and if it was if it was in my pull box. It wasn't out yet, but there was a display of new things including a bunch of Pop figures. I went and looked... AND THERE WAS A LOKI BOBBLE-HEAD! Eeeee! This is the first piece of Loki toy merch I've seen, with the exception of a small Avengers Loki figure I saw last summer. (I mean seriously do they not want my money e_e).

It is the cutest thing and I love it. xD I had to pick it up, which I know I shouldn't have because I just got those two Monster Highs, but but but... it's Loki.

I did a huge photoshoot with him and my ghouls, but I should get to bed instead of getting the photos ready, uploaded, and posted. n_n' Really the only reason that I'm up right now making any sort of coherent sense is because I accidently fell asleep for a bit when we got home. So tomorrow I'll have to get those pictures up! It is literally the largest photoshoot I've done with number of dolls included. I've done larger for sets for my Halloween competition pictures, but I generally don't increase the number of dolls in those pictures that much. This photoshoot has so many dolls. I was having fun, and it was very silly.

Maybe I could do just a few pictures...

Alright yes Loki, I take the point, sleep first pictures later~

So I'm back to my sculpting finally! For my new friends, a quick run-down on where this sculpt is. Pony!Loki himself has been sculpted, baked, and has had the bulk of painting finished. I need to do some touch-ups on the paint, and then more detailing, but since I'm doing so much fiddling with him to get his armour together it doesn't make sense to finish the painting until I've finished with that.
I sculpted his diadem and baked it, so that's finished. (If you want to see the progress, it would be under the 'sculpting challenge' tag. :3)

Oh yes, I've heard of Jörmungandr, that's your son right?
In the background behind Viperine you can see my Pony!N photobombing.

Now I'm working on his gauntlets. I'd sculpted the ones for his front legs already, but I realized after I'd done his diadem that it would be better to use a different thing for armature than what I'd used to create the first gauntlets. Since it had seemed like it would be difficult to get those to bake properly, I took a step back and decided just resculpting would be better than trying to fight. They're slightly different, but I'm actually really happy with the way they turned out.
I just have an unbaked detailed one stuck on his leg for a picture. It'll need attachments, battle scarring, and some finishing before it's ready for baking.


I watched Rizzoli and Isles tonight. Brief spoilery bit under cut. :3
So I thought that the coffee in the box was a silly little bit, but it was cute considering nothing bad happened. Maura was not having a good day! I don't know if they should get together, and I think that Maura was distracted and accidently throwing off wrong signals. But the beard scratch was cute.

In other news, I haven't been in the best headspace lately. I was triggered rather badly and now I'm all flashbacky, which is less than ideal.


Time for bed~

Yesterday/today I did some painting on N. I did some touchups on the body, a bit of shading, touched up the eyes, put in eye highlights, upped the green in the mane and tail since I had gone a bit far in the mint green direction, and I'm pretty happy with how he's coming along. I'm currently figuring out how to do his cutie mark (painted one on and decided to redo it), and I'm starting on his other accessories. :3



So tired. I have no idea what I'm doing. I think I wanted to post something else but zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
