Hello and welcome to my journal. Here you will find a variety of stuff. I post personal stuff right alongside my fandom posts, so you'll get a pretty healthy dose of all things Beth. Feel free to friend me. I don't mind at all.  I promise I don't bite, and I like to friend people, so don't be afraid to add me.  The links below will take you to fics, links, and tags.  They are good places to start exploring.

IT'S ALMOST DETOUR TIME!  Hell, yeah, Anime Detour.  Okay, I know brichibi is going, and nimblnymph , but who else is?  denilmo  was but now isn't *overwhelming sadness*

Other notes of interest:
1.  You all better come to smuttastic 2.0.  Last years was great (but this year I think I'm in a tiny room, even though I packed a big room last year).  The panel is 10:00 on Friday night in Plaza 1.

2.  Are you people staying in the Day's Inn?  I'm going to be there Thursday night and then in the Sofitel Friday and Saturday.

3.  Before I offer this up on the Detour forums, my roommate can no longer go to Detour.  We have one badge available for purchase using their transfer system.  We just want to get the price of the badge back (which was $45 I think), and you'd have to pay the $5 transfer fee.  You'd have to meet me at the con since all transfers at this point have to be at con.  I'll be there bright at early Friday waiting in the prereg line before it opens and I will I have the necessary form.  Just PM or respond if you are interested.  I'll leave this offer up on LJ until Monday evening.

Hi.  Long time, no update.  I'll fill you guys in on the incredible rollercoster that my life has been the last three months another time. 

Hmmm, okay, so I've been really itching to write, and I have an opening in my schedule right after Anime Detour (which is sold out by the way), so I jumped on the help_japan  bandwagon.  If you have any questions about the process, just go over to their FAQ page found [here] and read up on how the auction process works.

This might be one of the few chances you get to force me to write, and particularly something you want to see since I tend too busy to be online at all these days to just browse and chat and keep up with my awesome flist.  All the info you need about what I'll do is in the link, but if you want to know if I'll write a certain fandom and/or pairing that isn't listed there, please ask in this post to see if I will.  More likely than not, if it is a fandom that I'm familiar with and the pairing doesn't squick me, then you'll get the green light.

Also, dear OLP's that will be at Detour, who wants to help out with Smut-tastic 2.0 as a panelist?  I still have a few spots (Nim, I'm looking at you and your OLP crew). 

Now for three (crappy cameraphone) pictures of commissions done at Anime Wasabi last Saturday.  Two of them are new fandoms for me (Fairy Tail and Code Geass).   I have never attempted them (but do love each series a lot), and one of younger Hinata (I have never been able to draw her).  Also, one that I need to finish for the yuleart thing three months ago that I dropped out of past the okay deadline, but am still determined to give my person something awesome from xxxHolic.

( Natsu x Lucy, Yuko, Hinata, and Lelouch x Suzaku... )

Dear Bones (as in the anime production company),

Why do you keep trying to remake Eureka Seven, but make each subsequent attempt more ridiculous than the last?  Seriously, the Galactic Pretty Boy mecha/robot thing in Star Driver, what is that?  I even think one of your mecha designs had a pierced penis.  Each year I watch your attempts and just shake my head at you, and then I love them anyway.

Sincerely,
thatreevesgirl


Star Driver-I really like it so far.  I enjoyed the first episode, and though it seems complex, I don't think it will turn into the clusterfuck of confusion that Bounen no Xamdou ended with.  I think that it has a lot to do with the group of people responsible for it.  [link] at ANN kind of lays out the awesome people who hopped onto the project.  It is cracky (like Bones tried to make Gurren Lagann or something), but I'm only an episode in, so really I can't make too many judgments yet.  I do believe it is what would happen if Eureka Seven and Gurren Lagann had a child and let Ouran Host Club raise it. Let's just say if Tamaki was a mecha, he'd be Star Driver.  ( Now with screencapped evidence... ) 

Speaking of crack, I really need to catch up on Panty and Stocking.  I want to draw art of it in my style sooooo bad, but I need to finish Yuletart stuff.

Got some more stuff scanned in to color.  I'm hoping to get it done by this weekend at Nebraskon, but I might be sitting at the table finishing it at the con.  (and yes, Questy, those are adorable chibi Kanda and Allen in there, I did them thinking of you).

( More chibi sketches (Kanda, Allen, Lavi, Sephiroth, Cloud, Tifa, Reno, Roxas, and Kairi) under the cut... )

I'm not sure how many of you guys know this, but I really love anything NPR (National Public Radio).  I love the blogs, the podcasts, and all the other projects that NPR supports and broadcasts.  Though I really don't listen on the radio anymore, I have npr.org set on my "Daily" bookmark folder along with LJ, deviantart, my email, and a few other things.  I listen to a lot of Morning Edition and All Things Considered.  I'm a Planet Money junkie, The Moth podcast is a fave, and I really love This American Life.  I also adore Story Corps.  Now Story Corps has an animated version of some of their best stories.  

Wanna watch a bit about a really touching, yet simple love story?  Here ya go [LINK]  Seriously guys, watch it, I think you'll really like it. 

Con Update:  I'm going to be coloring chibis most of today.  I have Kanda, Allen, and Lavi to do from D.Gray-man.  I finally sketched a Roxas and then a Kairi (yeah, don't know why she beat out Sora or Riku).  Finally, I have some FFVII (Advent Children version) chibis: Reno, Cloud, Sephiroth, and Tifa.

I'm going to try and get some Soul Eater ones done too.  Also, Hetalia might have finally weaseled it's way into my heart.  A stupid America x Russia pic piqued my interest and now I think I'm going to have to finish watching it and maybe even like it *pouts*

Got the Jin and Mugen badges done.  You can click them to see them larger if you want.  Mugen has a big head next to Jin, but he looks really cute when he is all by himself.  This is making me want to rewatch the series.  If you didn't know, Samurai Champloo was the very first anime I ever did fanart for.  I should take a picture of it, because I still have it lying around somewhere. It was a watercolor thing done back in 2005 for ACEN of the Samurai Champloo trio and it didn't sell. 

  and 

I don't want to jinx it, but it looks like it's about 95% sure that I'll have hours at another house now.  I think I'm getting my Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday overnights, which is the schedule that I need.  Hooray!  And I know the ladies in the house already from my job when I used to work driving vans for a social club for individuals with disabilities.  We'll see how it goes, but it looks like I can get my medical and dental insurance.

Also, I would just like to say that I was NUTS trying to do 100 hour work weeks leading up to four conventions in a row.  I probably could have swung it if I had just not gotten sick.  Now I'm scrambling to flip my art (or at least add a bunch of new stuff).

Here are some old chibi sketches that I have sworn to fix and get done for Youmacon.  Also, there is a kitty Arthur and kitty Eames since that is a big thing in the Inception fandom right now and I couldn't resist.  I like that kitty!Arthur looks grouchy, yet is purring up a storm.  XD   ( and it is under this cut... )

1.  Well, I finally went to the doctor for the chest congestion/cough thing that I wasn't getting over (I've been really sick for a month now).  The doctor prescribed the biggest antibiotic pills I have ever seen in my life (875 MG of amoxicillan taken twice a day).  I'm lucky it hadn't turned into pneumonia yet.  I am starting to feel better.  Yay!

2.  I went and saw Red last night and I loved it.  It was just an enjoyable and funny movie and Karl Urban looked so hot in a suit. Movies, why are you trying to kill me with thoughts of suit porn?  First Inception, now Karl Urban being fucking awesome in a suit.  If you love Karl and laughing, then go see Red.  It was a really good action comedy thing.  Bruce was good in it as the main character, but John Malkovich was amazing as a supporting character.  Seriously, he just stole the show with his hilarious background acting and just being batshit insane in general.  <3

3.  I kind of lost my job.  The house that I worked at is being closed and there are no hours at my company that fit my availability at other houses.  Hours will pop up eventually, but I know that with my crazy November schedule that I won't be able to pick any up till December and the house I'm at closes the first week of November.  Thanks CAN for shitting on me again.

I won't be on the internet much.  I have to hit the con stuff hard since my job was cut.  The upside is that I'll probably have art and crafty things to post.

 

( And this is how my Tuesday went... )

 

Title: I Con You with Love
Series: Naruto
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Kakashi/Tenzou
Summary: Five times Kakashi conned Tenzou:  four times into buying him food, and one time into taking off his pants.

Author's Notes: How is it something that was supposed to be like two pages long and 500 words grew into nine pages and over 4000 words? Oh muse, not that I mind much, but I almost missed work because you were inspiring porn. Two hours just magically disappeared, and had I not set an alarm for work I would have been late last night. XD Also, I blame ishicat  for so much of this fic. So. Much. Particularly the mention of a squirrel.

 

( The fic is under this cut... )

I promise that Inception hasn't completely taken over my fandom obsessions.  I'm just mostly preoccupied by it at the moment.  I was reading a really good Arthur/Eames fic today and I really wanted to draw them, so I did.  The only problem is that I don't have good refs of Tom Hardy's tattoos, at least not the side that I need.  I know I've seen an excellent picture or two in the communities, but I don't have time between my two jobs to go searching for them.  (and the Tom Hardy refs wouldn't hurt me either, because Eames still doesn't look like Eames to me).

Flist, are you privy to links of pictures that show Tom/Eames' tattoos?  Will you share them with me, please?

( Sketch is under this cut... )

Hi everybody!  So I have a cold, and it's not a terrible one (and I hope it stays that way), but I definitely feel under the weather.  A really kind coworker just randomly called and asked if I wanted her to take my overnight shift since she knew I was sick and overworked, and therefore I actually got to sleep in my bed last night. 

( Under this cut is a story about my weird cold-medicine induced dreams, so you have been warned... )

I also sloppy-colored a sketch last night. Click it a couple times to see it larger.

Dear Scanner,

You suck so bad.  Why you gotta ruin all my coloring?

Love,
Me
