Spam! Wrote this not long after TDK came out but never posted it. Since the evil twin just wrote Joker/Scarecrow with similar elements, I knew I had to post it as the same time as hers or I'd never do it. Team Porn does Arkham. Arharhrh.
The Frayed Ends
Batman. Batman/Joker. R. ~1000 words. Nolanverse. Violence.
Darkness gathers into a swarm around them and Bruce doesn’t want to let the bastard take one more goddamn breath.

Just a little something to get me in the groove for doing homework. Done without access to my usual brushes so there are several big things that make me go DDDD:, but I didn't want to spend more than an hour on this. Warmup means warmup, Pondy.

I heard about this site the other day and thought some of you may be interested. It's called Mod Podge Rocks, and they have something new up every day.
I slept straight through the Preview Party. Ahhhh. If you don't know why that's a beautiful dream, you don't know me at all.
There are now thirteen hours left in which to sign-up. If you wish to participate in this round now is the time to do it. With over two hundred prompts to choose from, there is bound to be something that sparks your imagination.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Attended a benefit dinner last night with J, maiki, and Susan for a non-profit that we've done a lot of work for. Materials that both Susan and I had designed were all over the place and it was really nice to see it all out and looking snazzy. Susan's done a lot to get their informational materials/reports looking clean and professional. I did the benefit's programs, invites, and carried over from last year was a set of promotional posters which I'm still proud of. The project, per usual, made me gnash my teeth at times, but I do enjoy working for them, and it was flattering when people whom I didn't expect compliments from told me they were impressed by the invitations in particular. :D Leading up I had this worry about the pagination on the program booklet since I worked entirely remotely and never saw a proof (or even had time to run one myself!) but everything turned out beautifully and typo-free. By this point, I've done enough recent work to have a solid design portfolio again, so with so few classes left ahead of me it's nice to have that in addition to what's shaping up to go on my reel.
I didn't mingle much, as J and I were introduced to some great people early on and there was no incentive to bother straying away from the interesting conversation to rub elbows with people outside my industry. It was somewhat fascinating attending something like this after so long, and also after now having worked on catering from the serving end! The appetizers, by the way, were awesome. I wish we offered some of them on our own menu, especially the warm cranberries and almonds in phyllo cups. Yum.
My shoes were remarkably comfortable. I haven't worn actual heels in forever and it's nice to confirm that my knee can handle hours standing around in 3" heels.

This was supposed to be anon commentporn, but then it wasn't fulfilling what the OP had asked for so I wrote it for Blue instead.

1. I have hit burn out, for sure.
2. Something told me to go check the Black Market on Ponystars last night. I saw this pony that just stood as, and when I checked, sure enough, she was a glitch. Just a little one, but that's the first glitch I've ever seen on the open market. I snatched her right up. Take a look at her body color bar: Aura Insperata. Name means "Unexpected Wind," in case you were wondering.
3. I have a horrible scratchy throat. I feel like I want to shove a coathanger down there and give it a scratch on the inside. Bad idea, I know.
4. Once the coffee percolates through my system, I've got to clean up the house to sell tickets. Ugh. But if I clean up today, I can decorate tomorrow. Yey?

Episode discussion!!
Episode discussion!!!
Stick a fork in me! I'm fried! Burnt to a crisp! My brain is a dessicated wasteland of learning!
Yep, grad school is over for the semester (I finished a day early, even!). If all goes well, I should get no lower than a B in all my classes (currently they are all A's, but there are some big projects still out in each class.) Scholarship is probably safe. Probably.
The good thing is that I was definitely doing better than average in every class, which is the main thing, I think. One class was, for sure, graded more strictly than the others and also really infuriatingly vague, so if I get a B there, I will chalk it up to a poor teacher more than me being dumb. (Though I think it's really been pushing me in the direction of wondering if my reading comprehension/retention has gone down the crapper, but I don't think it has. I think we were, really, quizzed on things not covered by any of the readings. I don't even know how that happened, but you better believe I made sure to repeat that point often in my end of course survey.)

The nation was stunned when it was revealed that Graydon Creed killed Professor Charles Xavier on live television to prove he was a mutant. Public outcry against the acts perpetrated by the organization known as the 'Friends of Humanity' allowed several laws to be passed in favor of mutant rights. That was more than a decade ago, in that time the realm of politics has come to an impasse. Amidst the political stalemate there was a heavy push by many parents to have mutant children removed from the school systems, that ended with special schools being set up in most major cities. The Xavier School could no longer provide the necessary post secondary education for mutants. Ororo Munroe, the new head of the School, and Hank McCoy went before the Senate and House and asked that a second school be funded on the West Coast a University for continuing mutant education. Senator Raymond F. Donaldson, a democrat from California and the first mutant on the senate, helped to push the funding through. Thus the Xavier Memorial Institute was born. XMI is a College Level AU X-Men game set in modern day California. It is meant to be a place where OCs may flourish, new stories can be written and those who have moved to the west coast may begin again. The school grounds, commonly referred to as Mutant Island, house both a university as well as a training facility. It is also the facility which houses the mutant team Legacy. The game is open to mutants age 18+, canon and original characters are both welcome. The game hopes to combine the social and political aspects of life as a mutant with the dangers that come from living in a world where humans, mutants, and things only classified as 'other' coexist. |

Vagrant Story, Batman, The Joker, The Pirates of Dark Water fandom asylums
And,
Please feel free to join
It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans.
Two important polls need to be voted on, as seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, etc. This asylum will continue to be WIP until further interest is shown.
I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs.
