More quick meme art...

Title:  His Father's Throne
Artist: zephre
Rating: NC-17
Fandom: BBC's Merlin
Characters: Arthur/Merlin
Summary/Notes: Er, I suppose after all my kinky HP art saying this one kinda squicked me seems bizarre, but I surely hesitated before posting.  Drawn fast for cherrybina's Merlin Rimming Meme Also, the throne is based on the super fancy one in the S2 trailer images from episode 2x07, I think? The Witchfinder one. It may have been featured before, but I don't recall.
Kinks/Warnings: Rimming, magical bondage

So, er, yeah. I'm still here, still doing stuff, getting behind on the writing but all caught up on the art at last. Looking forward to traveling at the end of the month although I will need to stock up on Airborne for the trip. Egads, it looks cold up there.
Thanksgiving was a festival of drinking, eating, movies, games, cleaning, sorting, drawing, reading, and lazing about. There was also some unfortunate GI distress, which has prompted me to make an appointment to discuss the pharmaceutical option with my doctor. Ever since he ran down the typical symptoms, I've been noticing ones that I hadn't really connected with IBS before. Plus I can't eat anything, it seems, without a lot of discomfort.
We're doing the Food Plan again so we didn't actually make Thanksgiving foods at home, and partook of them sparingly at my aunt's. I am trying to be more diligent about the food diary. With sickness came the inevitable holiday depression, although thankfully that didn't last too long. Somehow I have in my head that achieving a certain level of crafty productivity will mean I never feel depressed again. But experience shows that no matter how many works of art I produce, I will still occasionally be sad. Such is life.
Mom and I watched her favorite reality TV program yesterday: Smart People Doing Real Stuff. The NASA Channel had live radio and video feeds from Mission Control and the cockpit as the shuttle landed. It was pretty cool.
Now that all of my anonymous exchange art is turned in for the next month and a half, I hope to do some work that I can post free and clear, as well as participate in various December writing games, and of course I have a quilt to make. Need to print the photos for that. And find the final important design element to print and applique. It's something very specific, but that has many variations, so I will probably be scouring various sources for a good one. (And I'm hoping that part of it, at least, will be a surprise, as it is a gift.)
And here, since it's December: a meme about Christmas.
Hey, I can start playing my Holiday Playlist now! w00t!

( Christmas meme )

So the meme going around is that you post if you are part of a heterosexual marriage or plan to be. I'm not married, with no plans to be, and no real drive to be either.
But I am an interfaith minister who loves to perform weddings, and I think that legal marriage should be available for every couple. I think that the legal institution should be distinct from any spiritual or religious ceremony, and that the two should not be related, really, at all, unless the couple wishes it so. The legal rights of a marriage are different from spiritual union in any tradition. Let them stand apart.
Seriously, there should be no religious litmus test for the idea of marriage. The idea that one particular group has a monopoly on the definition is disturbing, especially in the United States. My feelings on separation of church and state are pretty clear, and run deep on this and other matters.
(Have I mentioned that I also want to abolish the offices of the Chaplains of the two Houses of Congress?)

1. Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post The Controversial Survey?

No.

I think this may be one of the most ridiculous sets of questions I've ever read, not to mention having such an incredible bias. This was written by someone who has an agenda to push, and I don't like the idea of helping them push it.

If anyone has any actual controversial questions that they would like to ask me (the answers to which are not self-evident based on my journal to date), the comment field is open.

(Also, personal pet peeve regarding this particular meme: read the National Flag Code, mystery author!)

Rather than copy and paste this into everybody's comments (although perhaps I'll do that, too), here are my answers to the 36 questions.

( it might be more than you really wanted to know... )

As was demonstrated in an interview with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin is unable to name any Supreme Court Case other than Roe v. Wade.

The Rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historic, to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.) For those who see this on your f-list, take the meme to your OWN lj to spread the fun.

Lawrence v. Texas  - 2003. In the 6-3 ruling, the justices struck down the sodomy law in Texas. The majority held that intimate consensual sexual conduct was part of the liberty protected by substantive due process under the Fourteenth Amendment. (text quoted from wikipedia)

I don't think I've actually written 25 individual fics, so I will just list lines until I run out!
( ten, ten first lines, ah ah ah )

Another meme...
( Perception Personality Test )

The original post: The Omnivore's Hundred

Instructions:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
(go to the original post for Wikipedia links if you don't know what something is)
4) italicize ones you haven't eaten but WANT TO TRY
5) Leave the ones you haven't tried, but are indifferent about

(You know what would be good on this meme? A designation for something you tried once but will NEVER EAT AGAIN.)

You Are Andale Mono

You are a geek, pure and simple. You spend a lot of time online. In fact, you probably love the internet more than anyone you know. You are picky about design, mostly for readability's sake. You are the type most likely to be irritated by a bad font.

Go to Wikipedia and enter your birth date. Then post 3 events, 2 births, and 1 holiday for the day.

February 20:

1872 - In New York City the Metropolitan Museum of Art opens.
1942 - Lieutenant Edward O'Hare becomes America's first World War II flying ace.
1943 - American movie studio executives agree to allow the Office of War Information to censor movies.

1954 - Anthony Stewart Head, English actor
1969 - Vaginal Davis, American drag queen and performance artist

Feast Day of Saint Eleutherius of Tournai

Okay, so I engineered it to get Snape...
When the quiz is so obviously weighted it's easy to do. Heh.
When I actually genuinely answered the questions this was the result.
( hahahahaha )

Take it as read that I have fundamental differences of opinion with EW.  I will take the meme for what it is, and not do too much editorializing. Or adding on at the end. ;)

Now can we do one for Movies filmed before 1970? This list is woefully lacking in Cary Grant, is all I'm sayin'.

Entertainment Weekly's list of 100 Classic Movies of the past 25 years. Bold the ones you've seen, underline the ones you plan to, strike out the ones you HATE and refuse to watch ever again. I am going to add that I am italicizing the ones that I've seen part of but either don't remember fully or have never finished.

( 100 movies in a list )

This makes me want to do a list of my favorite SFF films of the same period.

This one seemed short, but it has the best format I've seen so far.

( images and stuff )

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon
2. one song blasting on the speakers
3. one famous person to fight alongside you (real or fictional)
[Random editorial moment - if you choose a real person who is deceased (like, say, Alexander the Great), does that defeat the purpose of the meme?  hahahahahah. I kill me. Ahem.]

Weapon can be real or fictional, and you can assume endless ammo if applicable. [Where's the fun in that?]

Right at the moment I'm going with:

1. a katana (did you know that a good katana blade will cut right through bone? Yeah, I thought you might.) [man, I would need stronger arms, though. do I get an upgrade on my Strength roll?]
2. Dies Irae (Sequence No 1)  from Mozart's Requiem
3. Ambassador G'kar (Babylon 5)

I thought about a flamethrower, but let's be real. When fighting with the Narn, you would need a bladed weapon. Not to mention that I'm not sure a flamethrower would stop a zombie, just make him a bit crispy.

(I got this in an email at my office.)
