#i am so tired all the tiiiiiime

[kitamars]

HELLO ENJOY SOME WIP AND DOODLE DUMPS. THERE’S WAYYYY MORE WHERE THIS CAME FROM

[totaldramafan-lauri]

Eurovision First Impressions tiiiiiime!

I-I’m gonna START them, at least. I’m pretty tired right now, but I can’t seem to sleep yet. If it gets worse, I’ll stop and finish later! I just don’t wanna wait any longer-

The usual disclaimer: These opinions are NOT FINAL. This is only my first time hearing every one of them, and these posts are more or less done for fun (and comparison’s sake for later, for me at least). Songs that don’t stick out to me on first listen will probably grow on me later, and songs I like might click with me even more after more time. Both of those kinds of growers happen every year. It’s why I use the “potential grower” label a lot. XD Most ballads and lyrical songs are this in particular, since I can’t catch all the lyrics right away.

Also, cuz I’m gonna be typing and focusing on the songs themselves, I am NOT watching the music videos, so those are a non-factor to me

My abridged opinions on last year, I already did a few days ago, soooooo....that’s all I have to say! Only 37 songs this time! I’m going in now! >.<;

⇢ EPISODE 5-6 (self-explanatory?)

𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜

⇢ conversations written in italics are spoken in english. requests and feedback are highly appreciated!

you hear her voice before the screen even shows her “dinner tiiiiiime”

she was sitting between mark and the empty chair. taemin came and handed her the receipt which she confusedly opened. it was practically as long as her hair

she stared in anticipation for taemin’s matching answers “oppa i swear if you get mine wrong our friendship is over” “well that’s something to remember”

she was laughing when kai suggested making taemin make a mistake on purpose

taemin went ahead and gave her the huge box of individually packed chocopies, and she maintained a straight face “there’s another box of that in the rest of the grocery bags”

she just started laughing when taemin went to deliberate for his second chance bc “chocopie was hannah’s request, no doubt”

she cheered when lucas and baekhyun said taemin matched their food to the, correctly

she got two more coins and just “i can’t believe taemin oppa overtook me”

she offered to cook, but everyone was telling her to sit back and relax while they took care of everything. she looked into the camera with a shrug

“i am so not used to not helping out with cooking”

she settled for walking around, box tucked under her arm, and giving everyone bites of chocopie while they worked. at some point, she stuck one on a stick somehow and roasted it on the fire.

“yah,” kai laughed when he saw what she was doing “what are you doing with the chocopie on the grill?” “i wanted to make smores?” “aigoo do that later in the real campfire, not next to all this raw meat”

she was drawn in to the smell of meat and saw baekhyun give some to mark. she ran over to him and smiled expectantly. baekhyun gave her a piece with kimchi as well

she snuck over to taemin and mark who were working on the kimchi stew.

“can i help with anything” “come here”

taemin just placed an arm around her while he continued to cook with one hand she laughed “you guys really aren’t letting me do anything” “do you always cook in your dorm?” “i live with mark. i have no choice”

taemin dubbed her his official taste tester, and the editing team put a little compilation of her tasting the stew and literally every other food except the spicy noodles

she became silent when they started eating, and you see taemin just piling food in her little bowl

she was still munching on a chocopie that she had hid in her hoodie when they started the liar game

*tuna kimchi stew round*

for the first impression, she said big. for the dance move, she groaned. she ended up pretending to put stuff in a pot then taste “there’s literally nothing else to do???” she laughed when taemin got caught “wait, i genuinely didn’t think it was you”

*cheongdam-dong round*

for the job that comes to mind, she said marketing agent. for how often do you go to this place, she said everyday. she jumped up when taemin said he didn’t go “liar!”. she was laughing at kai’s complaints when he got caught. then they voted taemin out and she was just hitting him in the arm while laughing.

*jopping round*

she laughed when she read the card. for an incident related to the song, she pretended to trip and fall on the ground, and everyone reacted like they related. for express this song in three syllables, she himdeuro meaning tiring. she snorted when taemin said piano and just hid her face in her hands to control her expression. she laughed more when they voted lucas out. “sorry, oppa”. for the last time she heard the song “honestly? yesterday.” “i know mark, he’s probably trying to confuse the actual liar”. she voted for taemin bc she believed in mark. she became all defensive “i told you guys he was trying to confuse the liar. it’s taemin oppa! he literally said piano!” no one listened to her and she just hit her forehead.

then taemin stands up at the end of all the arguing “hannah’s right, it’s me” “see?!!? you oppas didn’t listen to me”

for the camping vans, she was roomed with taemin because they had the highest amount of coins

inside the camping van, she was already lying down and scrolling through her phone when taemin turned the lights off. mark poked his head through the door, though.

“hannah, goodnight” “goodnight, mark”

mark left and taemin asked what that was and she just “we got used to it”

“go to sleep soon, okay?” “yes, oppa”

the next morning, taeyong quietly snuck into her camping van and woke her up. she groggily sat up and followed him out while tying her hair up in a messy bun

she worked silently making french toast while mark and taeyong worked on the soup and the tofu. the screen put a line between her and them showing how she was quiet while mark and taeyong were a little overexcited

she made quite a lot just in case the staff members wanted some, too

“i’m just glad i remembered to text taemin oppa to buy these ingredients at the mart”

mark and taeyong finished cooking and they turned to see hannah sitting on one of the chairs with her eyes closed.

“she’s done already? how did she finish so quickly?”

taeyong told mark to support her head while he set up the table for breakfast.

she went to wake up lucas and kai, but she crawled under lucas’s blanket and curled up. this resulted in lucas lifting her out the camping car

breakfast was otherwise peaceful, and her french toast was a favorite

Yo! So I definitly carry my little Hook notbook with me at work! like I've doodle all week lol and I also have a ToDrawList of like 50 stuff xD and like 20ish photoshop document in progress plus a few other writting google doc started ...but tiiiiiime. Oh I'm kinda hooked for Rogers and Tilly and well the story keeps getting a bit interresting each ep so it's cool. At first I was so glad it was friday cause I could watch in live on stream but i realised I'm too tired avec my sort practice ^^'

Hi Santa! Sorry I’ve been mostly offline the last day or so. Fridays I’m on front counter at work and last night I had people over for pizza and cocoa and complaining about work. And today I’ve been catching up on TV and making MISTAKES by starting to binge the second season of The Crown.

All while completely not writing like I need to be.

Oh goodness, so my suggestion isn’t helpful at all hahaha. So yeah, really what we just need to do is figure out how to slow the rotation of the earth so that there’s more time in the day? Is that the vibe I’m getting? Because I really need that some days too!!

I am definitely invested in Rogers and Tilly. I have some qualms here and there with how things are going, but really stepping back and focusing on only these two has really helped me go “eh but it’s ok” haha.

Yeah this morning the first thing I did was put in Hulu so I could watch it (kind of another reason I wasn’t online last night--avoiding spoilers!) while having breakfast. And to think, the whole plot this season could have been avoided with CPR and doing a little bit of this:

[wily-art]

Do you still enjoy drawing Insomnia? Or are you ready for the story to be over?

Ah. This a tricky question for me.

Both?

Don’t get me wrong. The comic is fun, and I have it all planned out, and I want to see it through to completion. Also it has grown my art immensely. It has forced me to draw more backgrounds, and to experiment with light and color in ways I had been avoiding for years. Also I’m pretty proud of the story and it holds a place in my heart. I think it has a few good messages in it.

That being said it also extremely time consuming and lately I’ve had less and less time time to work on it. Which has made it a bit more laborious and stressful in recent months. I mean this thing has been in progress since December 2015. That is a long time to be working on something, and to be disciplined and consistent(ish) with moving the story along can be difficult sometimes.  

That also means that I’ve had to dedicate a lot of my available drawing time and art capital to this project, instead of other things which can get a little tiring I guess? When I started it, it was during a two month gap in between jobs so I had all the time back then.

Now though, between keeping a full time job, and having grad school classes this fall, it’s going to be even harder to get pages out if I want to ever have free time again (to keep myself sane).  My job, and my school will have to take priority.

But I do wanna finish because I’ve spent all this time setting up some really cool stuff and we’re getting to the pay out. And because I still really, really like this story and I’m still excited about a lot of parts in it.

But I have noooooo tiiiiiime.

BUT I AM GOING TO FINISH IT.

So. Yup. Both.

OUAT 6x21-22 “The Final Battle”

I actually really liked almost all of this.

Running commentary under the cut.

PREVIOUSLY...everything is about Emma and Henry and then we shoehorned Hook and a wedding in. Bah.

Who is this cute little one? Why does she have the book? A Book? Oh fuck they ARE going with older Henry, aren’t they? :(

Henry Daniel Mills you get off that roof right this minute before you get hurt! Are we in Storybrooke that ISN’T Storybrooke? Oh Archie. :( Time jump? A wee one at least?

Ah so it’s the Normal Again episode. AND FUCKING NURSE RATCHED. How come Archie knew Henry meant Emma? DID Henry mean Emma when he asked for his mom? Oops, not a wee time jump. Who takes care of Henry if Emma is in an institution? OHHHHH I didn’t see that coming. Hey Fiona. She stole Henry but WHERE is Regina? Protective Henry is a good Henry.

Meanwhile in FTL we have Regina as EQ, Snow, Charming, Hook, and miraculously bb Neal was remembered. The Snow wig is not great right now.

Archie is coming across as evil right now I’m disturbed. Fiona is trying to ship Emma to Boston. Fiona don’t hurt the book. Burn the book? How is burning a book embracing reality? It’s just destruction of property. Yeah I thought that mirror was suspicious.

HOLY SHIT A JEFFERSON REFERENCE? Didn’t see THAT coming? So. We’re in the Neverending Story and everything is being eaten by the Nothing? Henry is Bastian and Emma is the Childlike Empress except she needs belief and not a name?

Ok what’s the deal with RUmple now though? Does he know? I bet he knows. Gideon dresses like his Papa! HOW DARE YOU HAVE HIS MOTHER BE LOST SHOW HOW DAAAARE YOU Fiona this is your SON don’t creep on him. Also didn’t they make a deal to protect Rumple’s loved ones wtf Fiona.

Hey it’s Aladdin and Jasmine! And an Arandelle reference. Yes Regina, kick some ass. And yes get Henry and Emma back because you love them both.

Emma going full on Sarah Connor?

How many fucking beans ARE there It was NOT your first adventure it was you trying to SCREW HER AND HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS OVER Sorry Hook don’t care about you. Still.

Henry, keep trying. How come Emma who’s been institutionalized for 2 years is more like herself than Emma of last episode? Henry you have no memories of the last 2 years here how do you know where Archie keeps the car keys also why does Archie keep the car keys shouldn’t they be locked up with Emma’s personal effects in the institution?

Rumple’s looking for something. Hmm. He KNOWS something. What’s up? Ah. HHH. Is the book gonna make Gideon remember? Ohhh Gideon that was cruel. Oh sure Belle went to the store and never came back. He knows he has to know but maybe he doesn’t? So confused. Maybe he can’t SAY things? I mean we know he made a deal with the Black Fairy to protect his family.

WTF EQ IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE WISH REALM? Are they ALL in the Wish Realm? Oh nope, apparently not.

Fiona knows Henry knows. But she doesn’t seem to mind. Oh that was cruel. Don’t hurt the kid!

Fiona you’re not terribly convincing. Get’er Rumple. Wait maybe he doesn’t know? I JUST CANNOT TELL.

Hello bad CGI! Is Anton gonna be here? We can hope. No he isn’t right, Charming. MY SON EWWWW GROSSSSSSS THE WORST THING CHARMING EVER SAID EVEN WHEN HE WAS EVIL OR ACTUALLY HIS BROTHER I am so tired of beans being everywhere though.

IT’S A DRAGON HURRAY Is it Maleficent or Lily?

Oh Rumple PLEASE tell me you can tell those are super badly photoshopped. Fiona you didn’t even TRY. So did Belle have Gideon when she was like, 10? Dr Whale getting multiple mentions tonight! Oh no, no magic flashes! Poor Henry. Not a kid? He’s 14. He’s a baby! Emma if your kid is concussed why would you upset him by BURNING his prized possession that doesn’t even make sense? Shouldn’t the book be like immune to tampering? DEFINITELY NEVERENDING STORY DISLIKE that seeing Hook’s picture is making Emma remember. WHy not her parents?

HI TIGER LILY Fairies have forseen it? THAT NEVER ENDS WELL

DAMN Fiona, serving him up his book’s ashes on a hospital tray? COLD. I don’t understand how this curse actually works. It’s odd.

Hook falling to his doom! If only… HOW did Charming survive that? Orrrr how did Hook survive that, that’s even MORE improbable. MUMMY? EW GROSS STOP THAT THIS INSTANT.

Emma, stop being awful to your kid. You know better. Also Emma if you’ve been locked up for 2 years what sort of life do you even have to go back to in Boston? I’m guessing ZERO LIFE.

HOW THE HELL is her apartment still there? Who paid the rent? Who paid her phone bill? Her other utilities? Who dusted the place?

Snow you share a heart surely you should know if he is dead or not? I was worried he was dead though. It would have been a nice full circle touch though VERY upsetting.

I’m your grandson. YES. RUMPLE IS SO PROUD OF HENRY RIGHT NOOOOOW. Rumple you also care about Henry stop pretending.

So is Belle locked up in the basement or under the library? Those are my guesses.

Oh no Henry. Don’t do that. Or maybe he’s just baiting his family into getting back faster. Wait which Regina is which now EQ dying redemptively is honestly how i thought that storyline was gonna end in the first place

Since when does the Town Hall look like that? Oh GOOD Emma, finally.

Well this is creepy, everyone on a pedestal floating in the Nothing.

Sure would be nice to see Belle in this finale since Emilie’s either laid off or demoted… OH LOOK THERE SHE IS. ...did she make her like seriously agoraphobic that is FUCKED UP WOW THAT IS SO CRUEL and also impressive

Fiona, Gideon has NO idea what you’re on about. NOOOOOO NOT HIS HEART STILL THAT IS AWFUL Poor Gideon. Wait whose heart is in Gideon then?

I do so enjoy when Rumple lets people who cursed him know he knows. OH RUMPLE LOOK AT YOU MAKING GOOD CHOICES BB I AM SO PROUD OH HELL NO YOU LEAVE NEALFIRE OUT OF THIS OH RUMPLE BB <3 Only light can snuff out light? That doesn’t even make sense, Fiona. BYE FIONA I was pretty sure she was doomed this episode.

GIDEON NO BB BOY DON’T DO IT Where’s his heart though? Can we locator spell it? Blood magic? Something? WILL HIS MOMMA SAVE HIM?

Nicely done, Henry

Belle he could fix your ankle in 2 seconds HE IS MAGIC

Emma don’t give up you JUST got your hope back COME ON Regina this is an excellent pep talk

GIDEON BB MAKE GOOD CHOICES

OH FUCK DISCO LIZARD RUMPLE’S GETTING DARK ONE HALLUCINATIONS DON’T LISTEN TO THE DISCO LIZARD RUMPLE DON’T DO IT Oh Rumple you tried, bb The dagger is gonna be important somehow

The choreography on this fight is not great Shades of Becoming: Part 2 Oh Emma Oh Gideon

Oh Rumple, bb, you tried. OK NOW KISS AND BREAK THE CURSE

Emmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaa :( YES HENRY SAVES HER BEST ENDING NICE, SHOW

OMG IS THAT BABY GIDEON DID HE REBOOT But what about Giles? Giles is a fucking delight. :(

And the book is magically reborn! I was hoping it would be. So they were both the Savior after all. And no The End. :D

LOOK AT ALL THOSE RESTORED REALMS This would have been a good series finale, actually.

Time Jump? Nope. They just have outrageously large boots for bb Neal.

OMG SNOW WRITE A NEW LESSON PLAN

EW HOOK SHOULD NOT BE A SHERIFF THAT IS A FUCKING HORRIFIC IDEA Like, yesterday he shot a dude in the back and wanted to murder him. YESTERDAY.

THOSE APPLES ARE STILL NOT HONEYCRISPS THOUGH

AWW ROBIN YAY Awwww that’s cute

TALE AS OLD AS TIIIIIIME MY HEART MY FEELS I CRY SOMEONE HOLD ME I AM EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED

THEY INVITED BELLE AND RUMPLE TO DINNER?

MONORAAAAAIL Wait why is the wee child in Seattle now? 815!

DAMN IT I DIDN’T REALLY WANT OLD HENRY I LIKE JARED :(

I am CONFUSED AS FUCK how wee child got to Seattle And how Henry was in FTL in the first place THIS BETTER BE EXPLAINED WELL IN THE FALL

But how the FUCK is this gonna work next year with half the cast missing?

[hannahsewell]

Incase you’ve been living under a rock or your middle name is Scrooge…

ITS CHRISTMAS TIME !

I thought with it being my first Christmas a blogger that I would pass up the option to do Blogmas this year.

One; because I just literally don’t have the time. Working full time in a school is tiring and mentally draining. And two; there is no way that i’d be able to think of that many ideas and get them written and posted in time. It. just. wouldn’t. happen.

However, what I did think I could let you guys know about, is the time that I was in a Christmas film. 4 years ago today (to be precise) myself and around 40 others loaded onto a coach and headed down to London, somewhere near South Bank, but where exactly – I couldn’t tell you (as I don’t know).

The choreographer for the film got in touch with my Performing Arts college about being on the hunt for, originally, 50 male dancers to dress as Santa for a flash mob. However with the dance industry heavily populated by females this was a tricky job. Therefore the opportunity was opened up to female dancers.

Arriving in London, our first stop was at the costume trailer area to get into our matching costumes of Santa.

On top of our advisory comfy clothing (aka leggings and long t-shirt) we then had; an oversized white t-shirt on with a pillow stuffed underneath to give us our jolly santa belly, our red Santa trousers which then had braces added to them over the top to keep them up (obviously). To finish off the look we had the famous red coat, black belt, black boots and of course the wig, beard and red and white hat.

Once dressed it was onto our next port of call. Onto the bus and to the hotel which was around the corner from where the filming was taking place.

After literally stopping traffic by crossing the road we made our way through to the function room where would then have rehearsals for the next few hours, which were manic and INCREDIBLY hot and sweaty. With all our layers on and the dance rehearsals going on in a room that wasn’t the largest, you can imagine the situation we were dealing with.

After we’d had some lovely food, it was time to layer back up and be ready for the big event… filming! And on the London Eye! Which may I add, I’d never been on it before and with my first time filming for British film with Adam Garcia and just one too many Santa, it’s one I won’t be forgetting any time soon.

By the time we had finished the scene it was almost 1am and time to go home! So back to the costume trailer area where we dropped off our costumes and then back on the coach for the journey home to Leicester.

I apologise for the poor quality…some of these were photos caught in a passing moment.

 Less than a month later, we received a call to see if we were free for filming again in January, this time for an Elf Flashmob.

After having so much time the previous month, of course I said yes! This time, however, filming was in Coventry. So a lot closer to home. We also had time for rehearsals we went to film with this flashmob this time. Which was waaaaaay better and much more relaxing!

On arrival we had to sign in and get into costume. This time as Elves and once we were changed we had to head over to make up to have our elf ears attached and our rosey cheeks applied.

Next something was about to happen which I didn’t really expect…

One of the production runners came into the trailer where us dancers were waiting and asked for an Elf that was ready to sign in. I was ready and stood by the door, so of course I said “yes” and off I went with her. She took me to a car where she introduced me to the driver and said that somebody would be waiting for me on the other side.

(Now, if Stranger Things had been around at the time I would of thought I was being taken to the Upside Down. But it was all fine and dandy and I was just taken to the local shopping centre, where the filming was taking place).

Walking through Coventry dressed as an elf in January; it’s safe to say I felt a bit of a t*t.

And of course, due to the nature of film sets, they were running behind schedule. So I sat like a lone ranger (or elf if you like) with a few other extras and of course, a donkey was roaming around somehwere. I mean that’s totally normal, isn’t it?

Anyway once, we had been back to the trailer set up, had some lunch, shared some carrot cake with Martin Clunes and had a photo with Adam Garcia, it was time to head back to the film set, I had a microphone set up/attached and onto the scene.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own these photos.

The amazing thing with this film is that it is unscripted and improvised. The actors were given a brief of what was to be happening at the time and then camera, roll, action! and the scene was underway.

I had to sit behind a desk and sign in the films famous students/teachers into the flash mob competition. Which was rather funny; with the kids from the film trying to convince themselves more than me that I wasn’t a real elf from the North Pole, AND the fact Mr Poppy (played by Marc Wootton) got far too excited during one take at the ‘winning prize’ and kissed me. Which EVERYONE found hilarious… it’s safe to say that that take didn’t end up in the film.

Once we had filmed that scene and Director, Debbie Isitt, was happy it was time to film the dancing scenes with Adam Garcia.

Quickly heading over to the opposite side of the shopping centre where my fellow elves were waiting and getting ready for some dancing fun. I also had to quickly learn a mini tap section that Adam Garcia had choreographed, whom may I add, actually caught my friend teaching it me and he came over and helped her out a bit. So, yes, I am claiming that as a 1:1 dance lesson with Adam Garciaaaaa! YES!

Anyway, on to the mega filming session. We had to do the short routine a fair few times so that the director/producer was happy with the content and to ensure they had enough footage to play around with as well as getting the right facial reactions of the characters within that scene.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own this photo.

At the end of the day, we had finished filming, back to the costume department and then time to go home.

The fun really started when a year later I started recieving messages informing me that they’d seen me on TV dressed as an elf… WHAT?! I was in the official trailer for the film!

I received many text messages featuring images like this.

AHHHHH!

I couldn’t believe and it was on all the tiiiiiime. Now that, I found embarrassing. I hate watching or listening to myself so this was next level! But all the same, it is pretty cool (even if I do say so myself).

This whole experience was super fun, and even though we didn’t get paid for doing this film it was a great opportunity and experience.

I hope you enjoyed this throwback.

Until next time

That Time I Was An Elf | Festive Throwback Incase you’ve been living under a rock or your middle name is Scrooge... ITS CHRISTMAS TIME !

[vivalasigh]

boys buzz around my life making noise but not much else ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm stuck in a rut! I'm stuck in a pleasurable, tiring rut! I have some escape routes...and yet I don't even know if I trust them! I think I'm dropping out of my comics class...it's too much work! It was too much for me! I just don't have 7+ hours of free time a week to devote to something besides relaxing, I work alllll the tiiiiiime. Art Salon was put on pause this week because almost all its participants had other plans. I wonder if I am giving up on something I should just hold onto tighter? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` There are all these boys in my life! On Tuesday a stranger called me beautiful and asked me to marry him. Shit like this happens to me more & more often. My friend from high school (who also asked me out in hs) moved to LA (well, Pasadena) less than a week ago and now he texts me every day or so and I feel like he's latching onto me and I maybe have to break his heart (again) today. I asked for a 20 yr olds (I didn't know at the time!) number on Monday an we've been casually texting. And I still like my coworker! He's no prince but the contrast between him and the other boys buzzing around makes him look even better. On Friday we danced and at first I thought we were bad, but then a stranger asked me to dance and the stranger was so bad that I realized my coworker and I were actually...kinda good together? but still, no kiss! no absolution! A life filled with maybe, wait and see, better luck next time! I want the flirting to end...I want something real. But in the mean time, I guess I'll take the flirting.
