Nice things

[thisbluespirit]

I was already being overtired and blah blah blah summer, you all know the drill by now, and then as we also all know it was so hot things were on fire, and that was even less fun, but at least that has stopped for now and it is like normal outside even if inside is only more slowly winding itself down from the peak.

Anyway, in the meantime, here are some good things (for me, anyway):

* I woke up this morning to find someone I don't know at all (poweredbuttercup10) has made fanart of my story Red Skies, which I wrote ages ago for calliopes_pen, a little John/Jonathan/Mina Dracula 1968 fic, where the Harkers vamp one fainty doctor. Anyway, I did old-school squeeing, because look: https://thisbluespirit.tumblr.com/post/690462693065474048/based-on-thisbluespirit-s-ao3-work-red-skies

Amazing. <3 (I am laughing at myself a bit though: such a cute little murder scene!!! omg, darlings. <3)


* also i made another element moodboard (about a week or two ago? idk, it now seems like a lifetime or something) for Manganese: https://thisbluespirit.tumblr.com/post/689391684465967104/original-other-elements-28-manganese-he-opens

(I chose Manganese for theseatheseatheopensea's gift fic: The Sky Outside)


* Marie-Clare has now reacted to Blake's 7 ep2 now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fynx_-yEnCE (Go quickly, because the BBC will probably take it down soon. I won't link every week, sorry, but it was another great reaction, so XD.)


* also lurking_latinist happened to write Like Sunshine Through Rain, making Six/Charley fic just that tiny bit less rare (also it was excellent, yes). <3


Plus, bunn7cula is promising to send me a thing!

And I do at least have a draft of the Just Married fic, but also maybe defaulting would be easier than editing in summer? idk. It is a thing that will definitely be a thing now. Hopefully on time, but eventually, even if I have to wait for a better season, and I am totally being in love with this combination of characters all over again, but I can't talk about that for a month.

Ah, so annoying that her first B7 reaction got taken down, but I'm glad I was able to watch the second one before something happens to it, too. It's really awesome to see how much she's enjoying it. This time, the line that made me laugh was her saying that she assumes Blake is the leader and that there are going to be seven of them. Yes, you would think that would be a valid description of the entire show, wouldn't you? :)

And unexpected fanart of your fic from people you don't even know is the most incredible feeling ever! That really is adorable work, too.

Yes, although fingers crossed, she's going through the appeal process to get it unblocked, but the BBC get like that a lot with things, even with something as patently not copyright infringement as this. :-/

You would! I think for me it was when she was, all "And the other guy, what's his name... Av-on?" But I was amused at her reaction to the shooting of the prisoners.

(Sorry at all the editing, I'm tired). It's amazing! It is probably the most adorable murder ever committed to paper or whatever medium it was made in, but I may be biased. (I wrote a thing that caused someone to make this???) ♥

That one was also great. I think I said out loud, "Oh, don't worry, you will remember him." LOL.

My other favorite bit was when Nova died. "Oh no. He was cute!" *observes a moment of silence for poor cute Nova*

*nods* Death by shaving foam, what a way to go! (And also then he went to S&S and died again as the soldier in Assignment 2.)
