Burnt Offerings

 Darlings...

So I had to post an entry because I have multiple items... So much to do! I actually seem to thrive spinning amidst this flurry of activity, otherwise, why would I keep stirring it up? 

I have some bullet points because everything is easier to read in bullet points:

( Bullets from the Wasteland... )

So that's all the news that's fit to print! Gonna wrangle it under a cut to make it easier on people's feeds, but really, I don't expect any comments, I just had to exhale a whole bunch of stuff into the void, and I love you, whoever is reading this. It was a peek into an atypical week of excitement in my VC addiction.

THIS FANART by *HRFleur on DeviantArt is so lovely.

And someone commented perfectly on it:

"I don't think he looks like Tom Cruise. I think he looks better! it's as if you took the essence of Lestat from Tom and pulled the real Lestat out. He looks as though he's about to say something sarcastic or perhaps become peevish over something. I like that you made him handsome without looking feminine."

Of course, that wasn't enough for me. I had to go find the screen shot that the artist worked from. So you can see the side-by-side comparison. Every revision from the screenshot was a good choice, from the adjustment of his mouth into a slight smile, to the collar being a little more rumpled, smoothing out a few imperfections... just, lovely.
