Rowan's Ramblings

Is “Fun Stuff” better than “Feed the Fun“? I dunno. Moving on.

If you read my previous post you know last month was hella hectic for me because the family had descended. Proof of how frazzled this had made me can be found in the typo I made in the title of a newsletter I sent out last month. {sigh} Embarrassing. But overall being with the extended fam was a lot of fun, things have settled in the last few days, and now I’m in recovery mode, so let’s move on from that as well.

Dragon*Con starts this weekend. I don’t get to go this time around so that’s a bummer, but my favorite thing about any fan convention is the cosplay, so I thought I’d post a few of my favorite images from deviantArt. I hope you enjoy them too.

TZP: The Lost Woods by *Adella on deviantART

This dude’s body isn’t photoshopped–he spent six months with a personal trainer to look like Link. Now that’s dedication to a character.

Code Geass R2 – Mutuality – 09 by ~shiroang on deviantART

I never get tired of good Geass cosplay.

X: if we could stay together by ~Aoinagaru on deviantART

I love X. And fanservice.

The Doctor and The Batman by *blackjack157 on deviantART

Bizarre team-ups rock too.

Believe it or not, I didn’t forget to post this Friday. I couldn’t decide on this month’s feature and stalled myself. Then I remembered what released this weekend and realized it was a no brainer.

So below is an AMV featuring one of my all time favorite vamps: Alucard from the Hellsing anime series. Notice his use of the cool ass hat. 😉

PS – If you’d like to rename “Feed the Fun,” read the deets here.

The day I left for college, my mom was sitting next to me in the airport. My dad would have been there too, but he was still in the military and ended up not being able to come. Mom was all teary eyed because I’m the first born and I’m told the first to go away is usually the most traumatic for the moms while the last to go is the most traumatic for the dads.

So we’re sitting there, and she starts telling me she knows I’m going to have a lot of fun in school. I naturally think this is a trap, so I calmly answer that I don’t intend to have much fun—that I of course intended to be very serious about my studies.

This turned out to be the wrong answer because she said, “It’s only natural for people your age to go to school and have lots of fun.”

“Seriously, you don’t have to worry about me,” I told her, focusing on an empty chair in front of us. “I got this, and I’m gonna get into a good law school.”

“No no. I WANT you to have fun.”

Finally, I turn my head. “Say what?”

“It’s healthy for you.”

“Huh?”

“I just want you to… to be safe.”

I blink. “Well, uh. If I get a chance to try this snowboarding thing I promise I’ll wear a helmet, pads, the whole bit.” (At the time I was moving from Hawaii to Iowa.)

“No no no.” Her voice drops. “I want you to make sure you have,” to a whisper, “protection. Always.”

Isn’t that what I’d just assured her? How many times did I have to…

Then it dawns on me, and I bolt upright in my chair and say loud enough to carry through half the airport, “OH. When you say fun you’re talking sex.”

At which point I literally get a fist slammed into the top of my head.

But since then, every time a grownup says “fun” the dirty little voice in my head says “sex,” and that’s why for now we’re renaming the Feed the Fetish feature on this blog to Feed the Fun. It’s still not the greatest title, so the contest is still on. Keep playing, and if I choose your title I’ll send you a prize. 🙂

With that, in honor of some of the stories I’ve been tinkering around with lately, this week’s Feed the Fun is not quite human (or more than, depending on your perspective) guys:

Bleach – Grimmjow by ~Linnou on deviantART

He’s from an anime called Bleach. He’s got rage issues. And I’d totally be willing to have fun with him he if were real. Okay, probably not since since I value my life. But you never know.

water spirit – color by =pandabaka on deviantART

There really isn’t enough water spirit art out there.

Commission: Deathly Raven by =mazjojo on deviantART

Love the ears, love the scythe, love the fact that he looks like he’s about to have some fun kicking ass.

***

Razvan in the city by *Dark-Razvan on deviantART

This for me captures what draws me to urban fantasy.

***

Nightcrawler’s Sanctuary by ~themovieguru42 on deviantART

He’s fun in any incarnation. 🙂

I was thinking about my whole Feed the Fetish series and it occurs to me that it isn’t so much about my “fetishes” (of which I actually have very few) as it is a feature about “things I like a lot” (of which I have many). I’d be able to post about even more things I like and things other people like if “fetish” weren’t in the title, but I’ve got nothing as far as new names for the feature.

Any ideas? If so, please post in the comments. If I choose your title, there’s a shiny new 8×10 glossy of my Boy Meets Bishie logo in it for ya. 🙂

I don’t know what it is, but something about a tailored suit always gets to me. Even better if the guy wearing the suit is also wearing glasses and/or {ah yeah} is a sadistic seme. Throw a little magic in? Bonus.

Not a lot of the guys in my own stories so far have worn the glorious tailored suit. Jesse from Chasing Winter didn’t like them, but he wore one once, and Keith made sure to jump him good in that scene. Nick almost always had a suit on in One Shot, but it was more of a cute “I’m trying to emulate my mentor” kind of thing. As far as suit-imagery goes, his mentor Greg painted a more powerful image for me, which is a shame because he doesn’t have a story. heh.

Paul, though… Man, he was a lot of fun to write. Cool, calm, always in control. Until Kian came along and set his whole world on fire, anyway. And Anne Cain made sure he rocked that suit on the cover:

Never get tired of it, so this month’s Feed the Fetish is full of men who also rock their suits:

Sakurazuka Seishiro by ~Eriko-chan on deviantART


Seishiro, from Tokyo Babylon and X/1999. Smoking’s not good for you and truthfully neither is he, but I still love him.

Big guys look good in suits too. 😀

No jacket, but he has glasses in his mouth, so I’m giving him a pass. 😉

At your services by *heise on deviantART

Dom in a suit… submissive in a suit… It’s all good.

So, who’s your favorite suit?

Ah, there’s so much I could say about furries. While I don’t classify them as one of my personal fetishes, I am fascinated and there’s a lot in the genre I really like. I do plan to write more about them at some future point. But for now, eye candy:

November 2009 Calendar by ~humbuged on deviantART

I believe the correct word for me is “macrophile,” although I find that I’m horribly picky about my giants. The “macro” part of the story or image usually has to tie in to muscle growth in some way, I don’t like vore (when the giant eats people), gore, or anything really to do with feet.

And even though I like stories about female giants, it’s surprisingly hard to find stories/images featuring male giants (what’s up with that?). I think the first stories I found collected together were probably on the Evolution Forum, and since then I’ve discovered places like Metabods (which has been down for a while now due to repairs) and Coiled Fist (which is still up!).

Below are a few macrophile images I like. Next time around I’ll see about posting links to some stories. 🙂

PS: Sorry about posting on the second Friday of this month. That whole New Year’s thing threw me off.

Animal ears and tails. I don’t know why it can be so hot, but I’m there.

::XDOWN-morning:: by =rannsama on deviantART

I think this is an original character by rannsama, so I don’t really know who he is. I just know that he’s planning something diabolical.

IYD Doodle Colored by *XxChiChixX on deviantART

Maybe it’s because I watched DBZ faithfully every week as a child and almost never watched it in my teen and adult years, but I can’t help but think that innocent hug is gonna lead to someone’s death in a minute.

Soubi and Seimei by ~MarluxiaVI on deviantART

Ah, Seimei. In Loveless, the cat ears broadcast to the world the fact that you’re innocent. Soubi knows better, but still obeys him, which is probably why he’s seething there in the background. lol.

Youko Kurama by ~Xx333xX on deviantART

I had to include Youko-sama. He was my, um, first regarding the ears. 😀
