I want to nap the day away

Screencaps from the Computer Spying meme:


1. disutansu asked for my desktop wallpaper:



2. lemniciate asked for my art folder, of either mine or others' art:





3. postingwhore asked for my porn folder, but as I have no such thing (for srs!), here's my ebooks folder:



4. scorpiod1 asked for iTunes, but as I don't use iTunes to sort my music, here's my music folder:

I just spent forever deleting over a hundred submissions from my old Y!Gallery and DeviantArt accounts. I don't see why they don't simply allow users to delete accounts and contents entirely, the way LJ does. :| It was interesting, looking at my drawings from six, seven years ago. Some of it was atrocious, but some weren't half bad, haha. Also, oh man, so much nostalgia for my Harry Potter days.

After watching Iron Man 2 in the theatre yesterday, I watched Iron Man on my computer over dinner. I must say, I prefer the sequel over the original. Pepper was a bit too damsel-in-distress, but Natasha was awesomely cool, and I'm finding myself shipping Tony/Jarvis, just a teeny bit.

Next week is going to be spent grading midterms. I hope I don't run into this problem, heh.

I've always said that the first Iron Man movie was torn between staying true to the Pepper of the comics (possibly and probably the early comics) and between updating her to present standards, which is how we got sassy and spying, but also some pretty classic damsel moments.

(FOR SRS, WHY AM I ONLINE? I SHOULD BE STUDYING. OR DOING LAUNDRY. OR COOKING, EVEN.)

Awww, the boys stargazing is your wallpaper &hearts (god, I miss them - can it be September now?)

Have fun grading midterms ;-)

[short-hemline.livejournal.com]

Okay, where'd you get that wallpaper from? I MUST HAVE IT.

Also, I need more details before I can decide how I feel about Tony/Jarvis. You should, like, write a little ship manifesto or something :D

[scintilla10.livejournal.com]

EEEEEP! Excuse me, I just got all excited by the Bruno and Boots related items in your art folder. Especially brunohasaplan.jpg. :D?

ALSO your wallpaper makes my heart all achey. BOYS, AAARGH.

[fishpatrol]

Hee♥! Idk why, but I've only drawn them once and it was over three years ago (poor quality is poor because I was scannerless at the time ^^;;).

Stargazing together! Ugh, how much schoompier can they get a;lksdfjd♥♥ I really wanted a wallpaper of that scene and I haven't been able to find any (WHY D:) so I had to resort to making my own.

[fishpatrol]

I haven't been able to find a wallpaper with that particular scene, so I made it myself. I can send you a copy if you want? :)

Hee! Idk! It was just a vibe, with Jarvis being all adorably snarky when Tony orders him around and, and, *flails*

[fishpatrol]

My first impression of 5x22 wasn't great, but I really loved some of the scenes -- the stargazing one being near the top of my list. ;) I'm surprised I haven't come across any wallpapers featuring this scene, so I had to resort to making my own. (I miss having my weekly dose of SPN as well. S6 can't come fast enough!)

[fishpatrol]

The spying bit was pretty cool (and I won't say anything about Iron Man 2 in case you haven't seen it yet), but yeah, she was very much the damsel-in-distress in both movies.

[scintilla10.livejournal.com]

Aw, those drawings are adorable! Hee, their happy little faces. ♥

Hmmm. Do you think it's more challenging (or abstract or liberating or whatever) to draw for book fandoms than for visual-based fandoms?

[fishpatrol]

Thank you! ♥

That's an interesting question. The only other book fandom I'd drawn for was Harry Potter (oh, wait, no -- I think I have sketches for characters from David Eddings's series, possibly?) and I've probably drawn more HP fanart than all my other fandoms combined. In some ways, I find drawing for book fandoms and for live-actor fandoms (anything that includes real people) similar in that I have flexibility in the way I want to depict the characters, as long as I maintain certain distinctive features (e.g. Harry's glasses, Dean's spiky hair). Drawing for anime/manga fandoms was more restrictive, but also easier in many respects, because there's already this pre-existing template for what the character should look like when drawn. With real people, since I shy away from realism for the most part, I get to choose how I want them to look in 2-D. [/rambling]

[scintilla10.livejournal.com]

Oh no, thank you for rambling! It's totally interesting to someone who is not a visual artist. :D

I have flexibility in the way I want to depict the characters I think that's what I was inarticulately trying to ask! I think it's really cool that you have this approach to live-action characters, too.

Your desktop is so pretty (and clean!)! I love the wallpaper you have!

Ah, so that's your music folder! I like it! And I like that you have ficcies in your e-book folder :)

IRON MAN! :D I actually prefered the original to the sequal, I liked Tony's growth in it more, but Pepper really shined in the sequal. She was awesome in the first to me, but she rocked the sequal :) And Natasha = epic win :D

I SHIP TONY/JARVIS TOO! *high fives*

[lemniciate.livejournal.com]

dude your art folder is so organised XD i love how you have tenipuri art by itself--i have too. the file is so much bigger than everything else!

[cantarina]

Fail. I was hoping they'd switch things up a bit in the sequel. (Interestingly, I'm told that comic book canon Pepper eventually gets her very own Iron Man suit. As you can imagine, this has prompted much excited flailing.)

[fishpatrol]

Hee, I used to draw tons of Tenipuri fanart, back in the day. ;D I also have a huge folder of Tenipuri screencaps and even some Tenimyu photos and caps.

[fishpatrol]

I have to entice myself with pleasing-to-look-at wallpapers in order to keep my desktop from being taken over by folders and files! I need to clear off a couple of the data files still...

I got into the habit of saving fanfics when I started reading them on my iPod. They're not well organized, so I'm going to have a hell of a time finding any fic that I want to re-read. XD;;

There were some really great Pepper moments, but the whole Tony-swooping-in-to-save-Pepper scene in the sequel was too much damsel-in-distress for me. :< Natasha was really quite awesome though, yes -- especially while in action! :D

Ahaha, awesomepants *high fives back* Disembodied robots ftw! \o/

[lemniciate.livejournal.com]

I've probably got art by you saved somewhere! I apparently didn't bother saving any artists' names, so there's a good chance. XD

[short-hemline.livejournal.com]

Really? You'd think there would've been, like 300 wallpapers made of that scene within a day of the final episode being aired. AND YES PLEASE! SHORTHEMLINE AT GMAIL. TY!!!

[sugareey.livejournal.com]

I've been wanting to do that meme for ever, so I might actually do it soon since I have time for once!

Gah...that's evil for deviantART! They should let you delete accounts rather than manual submissions. Stupid. D:

[fishpatrol]

Maybe they did have a delete account option...I should've searched more carefully since I had over a hundred submissions and I had to delete them one by one. XD;; I did want to keep the account open, though, so that I wouldn't have to sign up for a new account if I wanted to access restricted art.

[disutansu.livejournal.com]

That is a pretty desktop. @_@ All those stars...

[fishpatrol]

The guys are star-gazing together! And they do this for hours, apparently! :D I think that is an excellent reason why you should watch Supernatural. ;D

[disutansu.livejournal.com]

I should watch a great many things, but I have no time to just sit and watch anymore. T______________T IT SOUNDS SO ROMANTIC!
