Drifting somewhere in the vast

ARC-REACTOR OWLS.

Also, can we please agree on the fact that Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is a movie that needs to be made before I get old and die of age?

Also: I still need a beta for my latest fic. It's not much, I swear, I just need someone checking on grammar and English expressions I might have messed up (if you want to do more than that, you're welcome to). Please, anyone?

So, one of the cool things about working online and doing design stuff is that you get to surf on a lot of funny designing sites with great pictures. Here are a few of the things I stumbled upon, plus some other stuff that is ~relevant~ to me.

Paintings of Russian Generals with celebrety faces.
My favourites are Sir Ian McKellen and - YIS - Robert Downey Jr.

Some very awesome Avengers illustrations.

Minimalist superhero posters.

The Many Faces Of
This is a site that composes blog entries about actors in some of their roles under a certain topic. Like, Alan Rickman playing villains. It's really great and funny and there are even awesome statistics and graphics to support their theories. XD Be sure to check out Rickman and DiCaprio, but beware spoilers if you haven't seen their movies yet.

Homosexualität im Fußball: "Wir brauchen keinen schwulen Märtyrer"
"Du schwule Sau" oder "Du Schwuchtel" wird jeder Fußball-Fan im Stadion schon einmal gehört haben. Das Wort "schwul" wird im Fußball als Verhöhnung der Gegner eingesetzt. Im Gegensatz zur Politik oder der Unterhaltungsbranche scheint der deutsche Fußball eine schwulenfreie Szene zu sein. Wir sprachen mit Mario Weiße, dem Chef des schwulen/lesbischen Fanklubs "Queerpass Bayern" über homosexuelle Fans, Outing und die Probleme in deutschen Stadien.

Yeah, I know I'm pretty much out of the footie fandom, but things like that still keep my attention and despite gmx being a horrible site, this is actually a decent article. Nothing quite new, but readable.

And last but not least: I wrote the first ~350 words of my fic for the Deutsch Big Bang. \o/ Haha, I know, it's not a lot, but considering the fact that I've been dancing around this for almost 2 months, this is huge progress. One of the reasons why I finally started writing might have been this tumblr post WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH THE START AND THE CLIMAX OF MY STORY. Asdfjlsjdlfkd. BRB, watching those gifs forever.

... which is entirely 3ngel's fault, I might add. *glares* And I seriously put way too much thought into this and I'm stil not happy with some of the choices. Why is it so hard to find a female version of Tony Stark/Robert Downey Jr.??? *pulls at hair*

(Also note that I tried to tinge every character pic with their respective superhero-colour. XD)

( who run the world? - girls! )

The first EVER issue of the Captain America comics is currently legally available on the Marvel website.

Captain America Comics (1941) #1

I'm making my way through the stories and it's SO MIND-BOGGINGLY LOLTASTIC.

Because I felt like it and because I wanted the opportunity to post some of my favourite gifs. ;) Gifs and pics are stolen taken from all over the internet and were not made by myself.

( Massive spam with pictures and not dial-up friendly gifs this way )

Glee - Harry Potter Style I lol'd. A lot. XD And Hermione = Rachel. IT'S TRUE.

( I'm also catching up with True Blood )

Loghain makes it up to Cailan

I really like Loghain (and Loghain/Maric), but this is ... just kind of ... uhm, WEIRD.

For one week, recommend/share:
Day one: a song
Day two: a picture
Day three: a book/ebook/fanfic
Day four: a site
Day five: a youtube clip
Day six: a quote
Day seven: whatever tickles your fancy

Because I didn't have an opportunity for it on the weekend: here's the last part of the sharing meme. :)

Ratten! (Rats!)

Willkommen in der Welt von Ratten!, dem Rollenspiel, bei dem die Spieler in das Fell einer Ratte schlüpfen und in der Rattenburg (einem verlassenen Kaufhaus) allerlei Abenteuer erleben können. Obwohl die Spielercharaktere in diesem Rollenspiel natürlich stark vermenschlicht sind - wer will schon echte Tiere spielen? - sind sie trotzdem Ratten: Sie laufen nicht auf zwei Beinen, sie besitzen keinen Daumen und sie können nicht besonders gut kochen. Die Ratten leben in klanähnlichen Gruppierungen - den Rotten - in den Abteilungen des ehemaligen Kaufhauses verteilt. Im Moment herrscht Frieden, aber das war nicht immer so und die Gefahr, dass alte Feindschaften zwischen den Rotten wieder auflodern, liegt immer in der Luft.

The setting reminds me a lot of Pratchett's Nomes Trilogy, but it's very atmospheric, dark and funny at the same time. We haven't tried out playing it yet, but the rules seem easy enough (even and especially for newbies!). The best thing about it? You can download everything you need for free. You can find the basic rulebook here. For more extras, visit the Projekt Kopfkino site. (Everything only in German.)

These must be about the cutest things I've ever seen:
Wee white lion cubs.

And this one just kills me with teh cute:
An even more wee white lion cub trying to roar and ending up mewing.
