*clears throat in preparation of reciting this sad poem*

That moment when *takes a sip of water, and then, it begins*

That moment when you discover a new series.

And it’s pretty much flawless.

The characters are great, their interactions the right amount of serious and humorous, it’s all just superb.

You get hooked after the first episode and just have to keep going.

So, you do.

You’re proud of yourself for sharing this experience with friends, who also get hooked after the first episode, already looking up how much the dvds cost on Amazon.

Then you realize, “Hey, it’s only on season two, I’m not that far behind!”

Then you make another realization.

You can enter into this fandom without being terribly far behind.

You can’t wait to check out the fandom!  The fanart!  The fanfics!  Heck, you might even write a couple of fics yourself.  You already have your ships, your OTPs, your OT3s, and all that’s in-between.  Surprisingly, you even love the canon pairings in the show, and you can’t wait to look for arts, writings, headcanons, cosplay, you just can’t wait to jump right in!

So you step into the fandom, potato salad in hand to offer to the party.  You begin to check the posts on tumblr.  You can’t wait to offer your own contributions, headcanons swimming through your excited mind.

Then… you see it.

“There’s only two episodes left,” they say.

“I wonder how it’s going to end,” they say.

“I can’t believe it’s already over,” they say.

But… how can this be?!

You check to confirm that yes, it is indeed only on season two.  But gasp, all of the fans are right, it IS about to be CANCELLED!

But… b-but… but why?  Why?!

You drop the bowl of potato salad and watch it shatter on the ground.

“Why,” you whisper, lip quivering and eyes watering, “I just got here!”  

Yes, indeed, that is the question.

Why?

Made a good friend of mine a late Christmas gift.  She’s obsessed with Harley Quinn, so it only seemed logical to make her a Harley clock  ^^  I sort of wanted it to be a simple design, kept in black and white with the clock edge done in the colors of her outfit.  She ended up really liking it (yay!!!)

A new series of coasters in progress!  It’s hard not to love the characters Lauren Faust creates, why not have coasters that celebrate them!  The first coaster depicts all of the “Tough Girls,” – Rainbow Dash, Buttercup, and Supergirl.  The second coaster is for all of your giggles and sunshine with Pinkie Pie, Bubbles, and Batgirl.  The three series featured are “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic,” “Powerpuff Girls,” and “Super Best Friends Forever!”  The last coaster (still in progress) will be of all the lead characters (Twilight Sparkle, Blossom, and Wondergirl) to fit with the set of three characters :)

Somehow I just now discovered Young Justice (or rather, just watched it, I knew of its existence)  2 episodes in and it’s clear to me that I have to make a coaster set with the team.  

Here’s the first two:  Robin and Kid Flash.  

Superboy is already sketched and ready to be woodburned, I still need to sketch the rest of the team  :)

As always, the links below will guide you to my other works, store page, and whatnot  ^^

Captain America appreciation post!  (including one parody coaster of if Mario were Captain America, har har  ^^)  Most of these items (the clock and shield most definitely) are available for purchase, while the coasters can be requested to be made.  I didn’t realize that I made so many Captain America things  ^^;;;

Pinky and the Brain appreciation post!  You know, nostalgia stuff does really well at conventions, but something about Pinky and the Brain in particular seems to put a smile on everyone’s faces.  I have fond memories of watching the show with my mom, so when I make a coaster with them on it I always end up smiling, too  :)

As always, check out what we have available at the shop here:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop  and, as always, commissions are available  ^^

I wanted to do something with the ponies and the heart-shaped coasters I have, so I thought, “Why not have the old school ponies with the new?”  First up is Pinkie Pie  :)  It’s so much of a difference I swear!  I sometimes forget how the old ponies look despite owning some of them as a kid  ^^;;;  

New mirror made for our table to sell at Anime Iowa  :)  No witty comments really, just that it was really fun to paint, especially the face on the glass.  

New My Little Pony clocks!  These two were commissioned recently and are all done :)  You too can own your very own pony clock, check out my shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop The pony face is on the inside of the clock with the cutie mark on the side  ^^

I’m a kid of the 80s.  A couple of years ago I had this huge hit of nostalgia, remembering all of the classic cartoons I would watch.  I try to have something nostalgic at my table all the time because I love making it.  

Can you name all of the series here?  Probably  ^^  

These mini clocks are pretty nifty, they have an alarm inside of them, too  :)  As always, feel free to ask questions at the shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop
