#redrackham87

[droo216]

I have been off tumblr for ages and only recently popping back on, so I wasn't sure if sending you a message would be bothering or not, but I wanted to just say that I saw your recent news, and words can't convey - I am so, so sorry. I don't think we've ever spoken, but I have followed you and your beautiful work on here for years, and I just wanted to thank you for the gorgeous art you've put out there. <3

Thank you, friend. That means a lot to me.

COMMISSION ME TO CREATE YOU SOMETHING?

Hey everyone!

The short version is that due to continued unemployment, my financial situation is edging ever closer to Defcon Dire and a good friend gave me the idea that I might try opening myself up to commissions, so here we are. I’m hoping that someone out there just might be willing or interested in taking me up on this. :D

What I’m offering:

-fandom graphics (like these or these or these)

-fics (drabbles to 5k or so, to start, but we can talk if you want something bigger - my ficpages here and here)

-general graphic designer stuff (do you need a poster? A fake book cover for you story? This friend who needs wedding invitation designs and has a tiny budget? Etc?)

-heck, I’ll even do a hand-drawn doodle if you really want one (examples here and here and here. These are not high quality – they’re just fun, silly things, but you want to donate a little for one, I’m 100% game!)

INTERESTED? LET’S TALK SOME MORE.

(either check below the cut or go here)

~~~

If you’re interested in a FANDOM GRAPHIC:

This includes: computer/laptop wallpaper, banners, icons/avatars, forum signatures, art for your fic, art for somebody else’s fic, fanmix covers, general fandom graphics. (ficart examples here and here and here)

1. Fandoms: the list is long and mighty. I strongly prefer doing something for a fandom I know, but I am willing to branch out into fandoms I don’t know, as long as I can find decent screencaps of the characters or actors in question. (Note: I am not super great at doing heavy manips (ie. for AUs) though if you absolutely need a manip, let’s talk!) Crossovers welcome.

2. Pairings: pretty well any gen theme (about a character, quote, episode, show/movie/book, etc) or any het pairing including rare pairs, AU pairs, and crossover pairs (preferably no slash, but I might be to make it work). There is the odd pairing I’m completely against doing, so just ask me. :)

3. Restrictions: Nothing explicit, rated R. No incest, underage, or extreme age gap pairs (unless there’s timey-wimey reasons for it). I have zero clue how to do gifs/animated gifs and cannot offer those.

4. Timing & Process: a graphic typically takes me about 1-4 hours, give or take, depending on how easy it is to find caps, quotes, etc and how easily it comes together. I will create the graphic and send it to you for your approval.

Unlike my tumblr gifts each year, this is a graphic you are donating to make, so you can request any changes you’d like (within reason) and I will do my best to accommodate you! You get the final approval on it. Once the changes are complete, I will send you the completed file (jpg). You’re free to share it wherever, however, as long as I am credited where you can (ex. In your author’s note if it was ficart, on your blog if it’s a post on your tumblr, in the description if it’s a fanmix cover, and so on).

5. Pricing: for the most part, it will depend on the size of the item and time involved, but as a baseline:

-small graphic (icons/avatars, forum signatures): $5 per

-medium (fanmix covers, banners): $10

-large (wallpapers, ficart, custom posters, etc): $15-30, depending on complexity

~~~

If you’d like A FIC:

This includes: drabbles (5 to 500 words), fics 1-5k long. If you want something larger, contact me.

1. Fandoms: Supernatural, Avengers/MCU, Star Wars, Lost, Chuck, Better Off Ted, Star Trek, Doctor Who (2005), Man From Uncle (2015). These are what I’m most comfortable writing in, but if there is a fandom on this list that you have a burning need for, talk to me. (It’s been 84 years since I wrote Harry Potter, but I’d willingly give it a try again!) I may need time to re-familiarize myself with canon. ;)

2. Pairings: pretty well any het pairing including rare pairs, AU pairs, and crossover pairs. There is the odd pairing I’m against doing, so just ask me. :) Gen fic also VERY welcome! I can’t write slash, as it’s just really not my cup of tea. (That being said, I can write gen friendship and you are totally fine to read it however you want.)

3. Subjects/Themes/Genres: adventures and/or angst with or without a side of ship, genfic, hurt/comfort, humor, character study, mystery/suspense, sappy fluff, tragic death (canon or not), tropey fic like best friends to lover, sharing a bed, fake dating, found family, i hate you stop saving my life, unexpected broship. Anything time travel related. Also willing to try AUs - especially monster hunter, assassin/thieves/spies, fairytale, coffeeshop, apocafic (if you want an AU, let’s talk, because some AUs just don’t work for me) - and crossovers between my listed fandoms.

I am possibly willing to write an OC, but bear in mind if you have an OC as the lead or secondary lead, writing time will be MUCH longer so I can work that out. I will even be wiling to attempt some shorter, sappy or gen, non-explicit, reader insert imagine-style fics for SPN or MCU. Again, if there’s something you don’t see listed, just ask me! :)

3. Restrictions: Nothing explicit/smut, rated R. No incest, underage, or extreme age gap pairs (unless there’s timey-wimey reasons for it). Unending darkfic, super violence/gore, rape/abuse of any kind (*unless it’s just referencing a canon event), incest/threesomes/moresomes, kinky fic, horror, mpreg/pregnant/kid fic (just super not interesting to me and I wouldn’t do it justice!), crackfic.

4. Timing & Process: fic writing time for me varies enormously. As a rough baseline, after we speak initially about the idea, I’d like a few days to brainstorm and then present a vague outline to you for your approval. Once writing actually begins, I estimate taking a few days to bang something out, then editing begins. I can and will send you weekly email updates and/or snippets (and you are 100% free and encouraged to poke me constantly about progress!).

You are free to keep the finished piece to yourself or share it however you like, as long as I am credited as the author. This is for you, so I want to do what I can to make you happy. So in the event that I’m not doing something you like, we can chat about that!

5. Pricing: depending on the prompt, pricing will range anywhere from $10-$75. If you’d like to negotiate a price, I’m totally cool with that.

-under 500 words: $10

-1 to 5k: $30 – 75

-5k+ : talk to me

~~~

If you’re interested in GENERAL GRAPHIC DESIGNY STUFF:

This includes a very wide umbrella, so it’s probably a very good idea if we chat first. But some basic items that could be included here: posters, cards, invitation design (wedding, birthday, finale party, etc), fake book covers for your story project, labels, banners, nicely put quote on a t-shirt, etc.

1. Whether you need something for your blog or for some personal project, hit me up. I’ve got a hearty portfolio and experience with freelancing I can share with you, so come talk to me.

2. Restrictions: I can’t do your art/school project for you so don’t ask. I can’t print your item (that’s up to you on your end!)

4. Timing & Process: this will depend almost entirely on the project at hand, so again we’ll have to talk first. A simple project (ie. poster) can take as little as an hour, where as a set of wedding invitation options can take as much as 6 hours. Regardless, I will create the item and send it to you for your approval and keep you updated on general progress.

This is something you are donating to make, so you can request any changes you’d like (within reason) and I will do my best to accommodate you! You get the final approval on it. Once the changes are complete, I will send you the completed file(s) (jpg, pdf, etc). You’re free to share it or print however. I’d love some form of credit, though I recognize a physical printed thing doesn’t allow much for that, so do whatever you can. :)  

5. Pricing: for the most part, it will depend on the size of the item and time involved, so talk to me first and I can give you a better quote (all prices negotiable). But as a baseline:

-small/simple (ex. simple poster, labels, quote on a t-shirt): $10 - 20

-medium (ex. fake book covers, smaller banners, simple invitation): $30 - 50

-large (ex. multiple invitations, wedding stationary set, set of cards, more complex/time-consuming projects): $50 - 200, depending on complexity and number of pieces required

~~~

If you’re actually interested in a HAND DRAWN DOODLE:

Congratulations! I honestly did not think anyone would be interested! XD

1. Fandoms: the list is long and mighty. I pretty much can only manage fandoms I know. Crossovers welcome.

2. Pairings: pretty well any gen theme (about a character, quote, episode, show/movie/book, etc) or any het pairing including rare pairs, AU pairs, and crossover pairs. There is the odd pairing I’m completely against doing, so just ask me. :) Also willing to do lowkey, non-shippy doodles of Dan and Phil.

3. Restrictions: Do not expect a note of realism. Seriously, you clicked on the example links, right? XD Nothing explicit, rated R. No incest, underage, or extreme age gap pairs (unless there’s timey-wimey reasons for it).

4. Timing & Process: usually, I just get an idea or feeling and sit down and doodle it. I could call it a sketch, but that’d be doing a disservice to sketches everywhere. XD It takes me anywhere from a few minutes to as much as a few hours to complete a doodle, depending on complexity. I would draw something up and send it you for approval and/or changes, if any.

5. Pricing: for the most part, it will depend on your prompt and the complexity of the scene, but as a baseline:

-simple doodle (one character, no background): $5

-medium (1-3 character, minimal or no background): $10 - $20

-large (3+ characters, minimal to moderate background): $20 - 40, depending on complexity

~~~

“Okay, I’m interested, what now?”

Message me. Drop a note in my ask, send me a tumblr message, a FF.net or LJ PM, and we can exchange emails and go from there!

~~~

If you have any questions about anything I listed or didn’t list, JUST ASK. :) I would love to chat with you about this project before you spend your hard-earned money!! I want to be able to create something just for you and hopefully help out my weeping, hollow bank account in the process.

Thank you!! :D

Ten Favorite Movies

Tagged by @redrackham87   These are ten movies that I will watch anytime they come on, but choosing simply 10 is nearly impossible. I love a lot of movies from wonderful to terrible. It’d be easier to do a top ten favorite by decade.  And I’m sure that I’ve forgotten some obvious favorites here -- this kind of thing is fun but I’m terrible at coming up with lists of favorites. Although I will say that the first five make it onto every list of favorites I have ever made: 

1) Holiday  2) Notorious 3) Aliens 4) Jaws 5) The Philadelphia Story 6) Dead Again 7) The Empire Strikes Back 8) Lawrence of Arabia 9) Lilo & Stitch 10) The English Patient 

Tagging whoever would like to play.

Another Meme

Tagged by @redrackham87​

the only rule if you do it, tag a few people/blogs you adore~

what’s your favourite song(s) to sing/hum? It really depends. I hum nonsense songs or the beginning of songs and then break into lyrics. My favorite thing to do at the moment is vocalize Girl From Impanema as though I were Blue from Blues Clues.

what are your favourite flowers/trees/plants? Lilies/maples/blue star creeper!

favourite colour(s)? I love bright yellow, dark grey, and red!

what do you always doodle (if you ever do)? If I’m really doodling, usually I doodle a tiny version of myself staring into the void with an exasperated comment about some dummy in my class. Or flipping them off. But mostly staring into the void.

how do you take your coffee/tea? If you don’t like those what’s your fav warm drink? If it’s peppermint tea, I prefer it chilled with sugar. If basically anything else (usually Sleepytime Tea), with tons of honey and milk.

favourite candle scent? Pine!

sunrise or sunset? Sunrise, because it feels cleaner, somehow? 

also because of THAT SICK ENDING in the 2005 pride and prejudice

what perfume do you wear if any? No perfume, but I LOVE Bath and Bodyworks. My go tos all smell the same, but my favorites are Midnight Pomegranate, Twilight Woods, Love and Sunshine, Black Currant Vanilla, Amber Blush, Cashmere Glow, etc.

what’s your go to dance move when you’re alone? I’m a restless person, so I often find myself doing a box step for the waltz.

favourite quote? It depends on my mood. At the moment, I really like ‘I’d rather be someone’s shot of whiskey that everyone’s cup of tea.’

favourite self care thing(s) or routine(s)? Warm bath + bath bomb/lavender epsom salt/whatever add-in + All My Tomorrows by Grover Washington, Jr. + a good book + comfy jammies after + climbing into a made bed with flannel sheets

what colour are your eyes? Brown!

what’s your favourite eye colour on others? I really don’t have a preference. Hazel is cool, by virtue of having multiple colors in it, but there’s not one color that strikes my fancy more.

favourite season? why? Fall, because it contains the best bits of summer and winter, but without the extremes of either. Also, I just think fall nails the holiday season better than the others.

cheek, neck or nose kisses? Neck kisses are wonderfully personal, no matter who gives them, but I also like the easy familiarity of cheek kisses.

what does your happy place look like? There are too many! Pretty but peaceful places, I guess.

favourite breed of dog? No preference! But, I think Dobermans are aggressively pretty, especially if they’re cartoons. do you ever want to be married? If so what colours would you pick for your wedding theme? I would enjoy it, lol. Ignoring the fact that I would honestly prefer to elope and skip the hassle of all the wedding drama, I would like white, black, and red to be my colors. Simple, everyone has them, no fuss.

silk or lace? Silk if we’re talking luscious Asian wear, lace if we’re talking posh Victorian getups. Don’t really care for them if it’s anything outside of that.

favourite weather? Overcast days with continuous rain that make all of the trees look extra green!

@redrackham87 in case you wanted to cry today...

“Language”

For anyone getting their knickers in a twist over Steve’s AOU line about “language,” just remember:

Bucky Barnes

had the world’s

biggest

potty

mouth

…And Steve was the one calling him out on it half the time.

So even if Steve Rogers does occasionally curse (and I’m not saying he wouldn’t – he grew up in Brooklyn and he was a soldier, it stands to reason he knew how), as an officer he was responsible for keeping his men reasonably respectable, and likely got into the habit of playfully chiding Bucky about his foul language.

So when Steve says “it just slipped out” – he probably forgot for a moment, in the heat of battle in winter in Europe, that he wasn’t in occupied France with the commandos, and it wasn’t Bucky cussing on the radio.

This isn’t Steve with a stick up his ass. This is Steve right out of the comics, still ridden with PTSD and occasionally forgetting which theater of war he’s in, slipping into the comfort of teasing his best friend.

2018 Writing Plans

Tagged by @redrackham87​

bleh bleh bleh fic is an interesting thing for me right now. I’m definitely still interested, but I’ve found it taking a backseat to my original works. I had a rough year for fanfiction, and that’s lingered with me, but I’ll try and make an effort to be more active, sooooooo

Definite fic plans: I want to just....update my ‘active’ stories, lol. my somber heart seeks you always, i love you in colors the eye cannot see, and queen of the castle should all be updated. I specifically want to finish my somber heart, because it’s the only one that I have a solid outline for, beginning to end, and it really shouldn’t drag on for another year because I’ve been negligent. The others are more open ended, so we’ll see where all that goes.

Tentative fic plans: OH YE FOOLS, DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I AM AN IDEA FACTORY THAT WILL NEVER CEASE PRODUCTION. I always have so many ideas that I tell myself I’ll write, and then don’t, lol. The highest on my list is a Clairedevil no powers!AU where Claire meets Matt at church and tries to be a good pal which obviously means cohabitation. I also would like to expand my series i have lost people and found them again, featuring no powers!AU oneshots about Jessica dealing with her trauma from Kilgrave, and Danny adjusting to normal life in New York after being raised in a cult.

also there’s this reylo fic i’m working on AND NO ONE SHOULD BE SURPRISED Y’ALL KNEW I LIVED IN THE SIN BIN. It’s a modern AU, studying how Rey’s need for acceptance fits into the unhealthy dynamics those two have already exhibited. I’m projecting that it will be about five or six chapters, but I’m not sure.

Other fic plans: I’ll probably do something with Voltron. I already have a fic lingering in the wastes that is super fun, but it’s not high on my priorities. Also, I just want to update consistently??? I’ll settle for once a month, lol, that would be good.

Tagging: @shewhoisneondaisies and any other fanficcers following me!
