Recent happenings

[dhampyresa]

On Tuesday I came home from work, decided to lie down for a bit because I was feeling sick and woke up with my alarm the following day, having slept 12 entire hours and still feeling as ill and tired. On Wednesday I had to stop halfway up a flight of stairs because I was feeling faint. But who gives a shit, amirite? /is bitter about things


On Wednesday, nightonficmountain creators got revealed.

Somehow I never got around to posting about the gift I got. So here it is:

The person I was assigned to defaulted and so that left me time to focus on picking up pinch-hits. I picked up one of the lingering pinch-hits, blasted my way through the Kill Six Billion Demons webcomic (A++ def reccomend) and produced art as a result.

Er... are you going to see a doctor? Are you feeling any better? :\

[dhampyresa]

I am seeing a doctor, yes (this is a recurring issue). I am feeling better now. Thank you for the concern.

[yhlee]

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. :( I hope you feel better soonest.

[dhampyresa]

Heh. It happens (this specific issue is recurring, even).

I do feel better now, thank you.

. On Wednesday I had to stop halfway up a flight of stairs because I was feeling faint. But who gives a shit, amirite?

I mean, personally, I'd like to know you're all right. I can't thank you for linking "War-Chants" if you're not.

"it's hilarious that you people can't even say 'fuck' or 'piss' on EurovisionChat when your national poet is Catullus"

[dhampyresa]

Sorry about that -- I was being bitter/angry at people-probably-not-reading-this.

I am better now, thank you.

[sovay]

Sorry about that -- I was being bitter/angry at people-probably-not-reading-this.

I wasn't offended: just worried you were not all right. I'm glad you are getting care for whatever is going on.

[dhampyresa]

Thank you for the concern.

What is it about trashy Eurovision fics? Always funny.

[dhampyresa]

It's a mystery! But a delightful and funny mystery.

[morbane]

Aw man. For one second, I read the post title as Recent happiness, and I vote for that alternate universe in which better things have happened. It makes me wish I could send you Really Delicious and Nutritious Soup.

I liked your K6BD flll! I will comment properly.

[dhampyresa]

Funnily enough, I got Really Delicious and Nutritious Soup on the day you wrote that comment, but before I read it. Your soup was most delicious, thank you Morbane.

Yay!

[schneefink]

I hope you feel better!

What is Kill Six Billion Demons about? Certainly a notable title ;)

[dhampyresa]

I do now, thank you.

Kill Six Billion Demons is about Alison's adventures in a world of angels, devils and gods. Alison is a very charming protagonist, she's a self-hating nerd pretending to be a jock who gets given (accidentally?) a portion of divine power and is sucked out into the world outside hers/ours. She's super brave! She's very scared, but that doesn't stop her from doing the right thing -- one of her key character moments is at the end of the first book, when she's managed to find her way home and yet,eevn though she is by her own admission "scared shitless" she decides to go back and try to rescue her boyfriend. Even though he is a creep. (Similarly: http://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/wielder-of-names-3-47/) I ship Alison/Cio a lot! And basically Allison/her crew, who are all women, it's great! I also really love the worldbuilding, it's really good! Complex without feeling overcomplicated.

[schneefink]

Sounds cool :)

[dhampyresa]

It is! hope you enjoy it if you read it.

[china_shop]

Meep! Hope you're feeling better!

[dhampyresa]

I do now! Thanks a lot.
