ARGH! FEELS >.<
(via battletendency-s)
Hello dear followers. In case you missed it (though you probably didn’t because I keep spazzing about it) I am releasing a book. It’s an urban supernatural crime thriller full of strange deaths that have been happening in the city where the only clue tends to be some sort of animal, or part of an animal (bird feathers, for example). Today, I want to post a small snippet from the book. Currently, it’s being assigned an editor, then that whole process can begin :)
This is a small scene between two main characters: Alex Sampson (the detective in charge of the strange murder case) and Nicholas Ryker (geeky friend extraordinaire)
Warnings for this snippet: Friendly banter
Story up to this point: A rock star has been found dead and the only clue is a small butterfly.
***
“Any word Nick-Nack?”
“It’s still Nicholas, Alex.”
Nicholas ‘Nick-Nack’ — it’s still Nicholas, Alex — Ryker sits at his computer, several windows open and showing different pictures of butterflies. His eyes scan each box, closing the ones he doesn’t need and opening up five more in a matter of seconds. At least, it would be seconds, if not for the outdated technology of the city’s finests. What kind of officers of the law are they when they can’t even afford decent internet?
“Isn’t that it?” Alex points at one of the butterflies on the screen, standing behind Nicholas now.
“No,” Nicholas says, “That’s not the right shade of purple in its wings.”
“Looks like it to me.”
“Well it’s not.”
“How can you tell?”
Nicholas spins around in his computer chair to look up at Alex. He’s wearing a pair of large, black glasses, the thick frames wrapped around eyes that are bright like green Christmas lights. His hair is a couple of different shades like browning autumn leaves, the strands sticking up thanks to a handful of hair gel. A black and white striped shirt covers his thin build, tucked into a pair of crisp blue jeans. He doesn’t look like he’s a part of the police force, his skin is smooth and the perfect shade of baby pink unlike Alex’s rough texture. His hours are spent on the computer and he doesn’t have the ‘luxury’ of investigations, crime scenes, and living on energy drinks and packaged Japanese noodles.
“It’s too light, Alex,” Nicholas says, voice laced with disdain, “God, didn’t you learn basic colors in elementary school?”
“Yeah. Red blue and whatever the hell,” then Alex smirks, “I know how you know the difference. It’s because you’re-”
“Gay. Yes. Yes I am gay and I know colors.”
Alex attempts to ruffle Nicholas’ hair and fails, the gel forcing him to smash the molded hair down like a crispy pancake. It springs back up as soon as Alex moves his hand away, “Damn, how do you get your hair like that?”
Nicholas smiles, “It’s a secret amongst us gay men. If you join the club I’ll let you know.”
“Nick-Nack I’ve told you that if you grow breasts and stop standing in line at midnight for hard to pronounce video games I’ll give you a shot.”
Nicholas sighs and says it again. “It’s still Nicholas, Alex.”
*gasp* Can this be? A scene from my book? You bet! Be sure to follow the writing blog for more snippets from my book and other upcoming projects. Tell your friends. Tell the dog. Tell the mailman. Tell everyone! But especially the puppy because I love puppies ^^;;;

See this? Kanji and Naoto makes me feel like I’m 13 and shipping that ship. You know. That ship. The ship you ship whenever they do something. Period. If they’re in the same scene together you spaz. If one says the other’s name you spaz. If there’s any sort of physical contact between the two, you spaz. Like, adult me sees this and is like, “He’s just holding her up. But thirteen year old me is like, "OMFG THEY’RE GONNA GET MARRIED AND HAVE A MILLION BEAUTIFUL BABIES TOGETHER CUZ HE’S HOLDING HER UP!!!”

One of the many things I love about traditional animation is the requirement that the animator really understand how objects interact in a physical space. This few seconds does a great job of demonstrating that understanding.
Wonderwoman has so much swag in this movie.
Oh damn, that’s some sweet animation. Maybe I should.. watch this movie.
This fight was my favorite part of the whole movie. Wonder Woman and Big Barda team up. Not sure who boarded it, but it looks like Lauren Montgomery’s work?
Jay Oliva boarded this fight sequence. It’s on his website. http://jayoliva.com And yes!! The animators did a top notch job!!
Thanks! Jay is amazing also!
I keep looking at this bit of animation: love the timing: how the leg twirls around the rope, but also the head movement is really nice. She’s not just staring, her head moves nicely with her upper body.
I remember watching this movie, seeing this part, and going, “Oh damn…” because I mean, just… damn.

If you care about this topic, please read. It is actually important to know what’s going on if you want to support it :/
It’s essentially like the “Vote No” campaign last year, as in, we weren’t voting to make it legal in Minnesota, we were voting so that they couldn’t make it illegal in the books. Still very important, though. It might not be a flat out “yes,” but it stops it from being a flat out “no” and gives us hope that, someday, it can be a “yes.”
For example. Vote No won last year here in Minnesota (yay!) so, currently, they can take the next step :)
