A more Sugar-centric story. I did not come up with Sugar, he's mistr3ssquickly's! I only came up with Devin and his family. So, as always, this is for her.

Tag-teaming fiction, yes! Not the same story as my other drabbles on here, but mistr3ssquickly did an awesome fic with Devin, my blind character, and Sugar, her blind character. ^^ Devin came from a few years ago when I saw a blue-skinned, purple-haired fantasy drawing and I thought it'd be really cool to have a blue-skinned elf character, because I was tired of the perfect elf characters who were all Legolas-wannabes. Granted, this was years before I read Elfquest, so up at this point, all the elf characters I saw were these stately, strong, and variably perfect people, and I wanted a flawed one.

Thus: blue skin, navy hair, blind. Transferring him into a real-life world, like the one MQ's character, Michael, aka "Sugar" (his street name), is in, was tough. Devin was made for a fantasy setting, and even in a fantasy setting, he's odd enough. But we did it, and did it well. So this is entirely dedicated to mistr3ssquickly. *smooch*

Gotta love flashbacks and explanations.

I totally don't crave your approval of me, family members! Because I am an independent young woman with a full time job and her own car and friends who care, and it totally doesn't hurt me at all that I am still considered the loser of the family, despite the poor choices of other family members.

No, I am absolutely fine with the knowledge that I could be an ordained minister in the church of your choice and still be the black sheep of the family. Really. It's cool. I'm a big girl now.  ^^

Oi!

Here's a drabble with Hale and Wendy, something sweet for those winter days.

As I clean up my NaNo and add and take things away, I'll be posting them and trying to make sense of everything I did write. So, in all it's "glory", I present!


So ends part one. Any ideas for a good title for the entire story arc?

Flower in the crannied wall -- Tennyson

Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower–but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.

Films on my list to see:

Perfume, Story of a Murderer

The Scent of Green Papaya

I've been anxious to see these films, and I finally found them for rental.

Possible ideas for Sadako's night gown/costume: Terra cotton? Something breathable and flimsy looking, nice to feel without it being see-through. Although interfacing is a god-send.

My creativity fairy is nibbling at me. I want to write a fic. ^^

I feel creative today; I wonder why?

Cosplay ideas:

For the next batch of cons, I'll be making costumes for:

Gojyo- Saiyuki (Re-load version. What can I say, I like the jacket.)

Uo-chan- Fruits Basket (Metal pipe for the win!)

Kairi- Kingdom Hearts II (her school uniform, if I can find blue plaid)

and something a little different from my usual:

Trisha Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist

Sadako from Ringu (Japanese version)

Trisha will probably be the last costume I make, as I want to do Gojyo, Uo-chan, Kairi and Sadako more than Trisha. My friend Troy does props and he's pretty great at it; I wonder about how much it'd cost me if I asked him to make me a wooden Kairi keyblade?

Joined a new game a few weeks ago with a video game character I liked, Emilio Michaelov. Ah, people seem to like him! Which is good, I like him too. He's kinda shy and rather cute. ^^ I need to make some icons of him.
