Miscellany and Musings

So I decided first I needed a clear, clean logo that I could print out and paste onto a bottle.  It's not exactly the same, but I got it as close as I could while also trying to make it a little more realistic.  For example, I couldn't make out what was on the wax seal, so I put that hour glass, mostly because I was thinking how much of a waste of time this whole project was, but also because people often drink to slow time down or speed time up.  Anyway, now I'm trying to find an empty bottle I can use to do the rest.

Had an awful toothache most of the day, just about froze my face off with an ice pack trying to keep the pain at bay until noon tomorrow.  I'm probably gonna lose my job over it, but when you're only getting 1-2 days a week, maybe that's not a bad thing.

Not really anything else going on in my world. I try to write and nothing comes out.  Did get a new keyboard and it seems like it's easier to type on, for whatever reason.  It has a calculator button on it! YAY!  Joey's been a sparkling turd lately...  spankings aren't working anymore so I gotta figure out some other way to make him listen.  I'm thinking it's either A- he's bored, or B he wants my attention, or C both.  He's had Shin Chan on repeat on dvd for 2 days- I think it's rubbing off on him. I looked over to him mooning me and yelling "ASS DANCE! ASS DANCE!!"  Some days I feel like I am a terrible mother.

Sigh.  Enjoy the art thing.  And I'm gonna leave some Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin fics here, both Erwin/Levi, both seriously good.

Ailes de la Liberté

This one is a WWII AU, with most of the officers (pre Eren and the recruits) part of a resistance operating out of occupied France, in a nightclub like Moulin Rouge.  Levi is the star of the show, Erwin is the leader of the resistance, sparks fly and plot twists are made.

all your demons and desires and dark sides

This one is a modern AU, where the Titans seem to be a terrorist organization specializing in torture.  Erwin is a recently honorably discharged air force commander, who frequents a BDSM club, where Levi is just getting started. This is such a good fic, not just for the properly written S&M scenes, but the psychological aspects each one of them are dealing with respectively.  Their relationship has up and downs because of the things they're dealing with.  I wish she'd update already XD

View the full size HERE at my deviantart page!  I hope you like it, I only worked on it a little everyday tweaking it once I got it mostly finished!  That Arabic over the door reads:
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
Or in phonetic- Bismillah Arrahman Arraheem, which translates to: In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful.  I thought that would be something like an Ishvalan thing like some Christians have that say "Bless this house and all who enter."  Anyway, I hope you like it, I just couldn't wait to post it any longer!  Have a great birthday weekend!

gretchen8642wrote an entry to the fma_fic_contest community titled "Adonis Burned" and asked if I would do a manip for it, so here it is!  (View at full size, that's always best!)

WARNING: VERY LARGE PICTURE AT THIS LINK. 

This was my first shoop mixing the screens I took from Darker Than Black and FMA:B.  I think it turned out fairly well!  The fan on the wall was a photograph from google, Roy's body if from the second episode of DTB, the villain whose payment is arranging those rocks (I forget his damn name!!).  The bonzai tree is from 1st episode and the background is from I think episode 11... it was the first one with Gai and the otaku girl.

Anyways, this is the illustration/shoop for my fma_fic_contest  entry "Space Cadet Blues".  Here's the fic in case you missed it!
