and all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me

Heelloooo, there.


It has really cooled down, lately. It's still warm enough to say "hey, summer!", but we're not sweltering anymore. And since a fresh Bruni is a happy Bruni, and a happy Bruni is a has more chances to be a productive Bruni, you all get happy Marauders.

Don't make those faces, now. It's not as bad as it sounds. (And my productive streaks never last too long, so you have nothing to worry about there, too.)

(And you're not allowed to tell me that Remus' smile looks like a grimace. Even if it may very well be true.)

Fandom: Note to self: next time, just evict this line.
Rating: Back to G-land. I daresay it barely had the time to miss my absence.
Notes: Because when Ni and Stumble and Fall get together, try what you might, but nothing in the world can stop them. Beware the Draftbunny Duo. (Read: "Idea born during a chat with Ni, while we were talking about the song etc. etc. etc." Oh, and if (if) you'll like this, the one you have to thank is her.)
Notes 2, because I'm daft. I left out the most important part. This is dedicated to one [livejournal.com profile] spacedye_vest and one [livejournal.com profile] wild_boys, two of my favorite persons here, because they're them. As simple as that. A sort of "I hope things will get GOOD real soon." :D

I have a title mwahahaha The title is a line from "The Ghost Of You", by My Chemical Romance. The lyrics lend themselves so easily to... strange connections, let us say, then I don't think I need to add anything else. (Honestly, one line from there is quite obvious.)

...

Go on. Shoot. *covers head*

Honestly, though... I know I've done worse, but Remus' face still isn't convincing. It's not the face of someone who's howling with laughter. And god knows if I redid it hundreds of times. Fuckfuckfuck. I think I see now. Maybe I'll update the drawing later today.

ETA: I rescanned the pic, so now the background is an actual white... but I didn't touch it otherwise. So, any mistake stayed exactly that way. *sigh*

I just woke up with such a righteous case of pins and needles in my fingers that I had to get up -- couldn't sleep while they were doing their thing. Clearly the pins and needles were caused by the universe dragging me out of bed to see this :D

*so* lovely! Oh god, how I love to see them smile . . . and now I'm all 'hmmm, what were they laughing at?' (typity typity) . . .

P.S. JAMES' HAIR. *loves*

P.P.S. *tumbles back to bed, grinning*

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
He's got a PERM!

And you haven't seen how it was yesterday. Drawing the hair lock by lock is a pain, but at least trying to make it look a little less bulky was a little less hard. :P

Good night! :D :D

HELLOOOO, THERE.

Eeeeee.



Well, don't you know how to make me glad, now. :D

But-

Hey.

typity typity means what I think it means? °_°

It means, since you drew a picture to go with one of my stories, the least I can do is try to write a story to go with one of your pictures? :)

Re: HELLOOOO, THERE.

[identity profile] sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
*laughs*. Is that a good :O or a bad :O?

Re: HELLOOOO, THERE.

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
Wonderfully baffled :O.

Also, if I'll develop an ego and I'll get even more insufferable it will be ALL YOUR FAULT.

:D!

[identity profile] sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oooooo, I do love taking the blame for things like that. *cackle*.

how 'bout when I actually wake up at a reasonable hour, you and Ni tell me what you imagined was happening and I do my best to summon up the Marauders to do your bidding? :D

and now really - now I've spammed the life out of your journal - BED for me ;)

Re: HELLOOOO, THERE.

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh well, if I complained about spam I'd be a big fat hypocrite. :D

There's a problem about that fact, though. Meaning that I have no idea what they're laughing about. Like, at all. Ni and me never went much beyond the concept "hey, when I listen to this song I think of the puppies laughing themselves silly".

But maybe she'll have some ideas.

Or maybe... you could go on a free spree. :D

Re: HELLOOOO, THERE.

[identity profile] sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Free spree!

Awesome

I actually fell back asleep last night imagining Sirius doing daft things with his tie, and how much he's thrilled to the very tips of his TOES that Moony's laughing like that . . .

*squees* Oh yes! Sirius loves when Remus laughs, so carefree...

I'm very glad you're obsessed with this pic, I'm obsessing over it too but I can't write so... yeah!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.<3.
Wow. They're.. wow :D
You're adorable. Merci merci merci.

I'm glad it cooled off a little bit. It's all grey in Paris but I'm so pleased. Even if I have a snuffly nose.

De rien!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm so glad to hear you again! And that you liked it. :D :D :D

It's very grey here too today, and I've been a little too optimist while dressing this morning, but it's not so bad.

I can't look away from Remus' face . . . I so rarely get to see him busting a gut over something.

Also, I love Sirius' tie. He's just the type, eh? Nice touch!

Sorry, got all distracted . . . this last comment was me. Must remember to get to bed before 4 am next time I comment. XP

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
In fact I was wondering who it could have been. :D Other than that, don't worry. ;)

You make me glad. And yes, as soon as I started plotting the image I decided Remus would have been the one with that expression, and precisely because of the reason you've said. And I'm so glad you noticed Sirius' tie! :D :D :D

*squeezes* ...and go back to bed, whatever hours it is there now 4am is so very late. :P

[identity profile] spacedye-vest.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
Bruni! You're so wonderful! I love you

And I love this. You're such a teaser! I woke up ridiculously early - 7am!?!? Drank water and I was going back to bed and I thought 'hey, since I'm already up I should check if Bruni posted something'
I've been waiting for more of that pic since I got that lovely boy in my email :)

This is so wonderful, Bruni. They're so happy (and mischievous)... I love those boys and I love to see them so happy.

So not a grimace! That's someone truly laughing. I love them.
I love their faces and their hair (I suspect James was suffering the Cocciante's curse at some point :P)... and is it the first time you draw Peter?

And James' hand on his face and his glasses and... Sirius' tie and...

I lovelovelovelovelove it.

And thank you for the dedication, you're one of my favorite people in the whole world too. Like... really really high on that scale.

I love you.

And now, bed.

I love you.

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a tease, and I LOVE it! :D :D :D Just think that I took that photo a couple of days ago. Be glad I didn't send it when I had first thought of it.

I'm so, so, so glad you liked it. Like... this much. Image

All right, maybe that's not a grimace, but not what I thought it would be (should have been, rather) either. :( James and Cocciante are brothers separated at birth, and as for Sirius' tie, I had an image of him struggling with it that morning... and then going "oh, the hell." and tying it that way. :D Yeah, that was my first time with Peter... (why oh why am I laughing at this?) I'd never even sketched him, so I sort of figured out how I wanted the parts to be as I went. ^^;

Love you a whole, whole, WHOLE lot. :D

Have nice dreams! :D

[identity profile] sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
what is it about this picture that had us hauling ourselves out of bed and blearily responding before more sleep? So cute :D :D The power of the Marauders.

[identity profile] spacedye-vest.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It's happy Marauders, what can be better than that? :)

Bruni had sent me a photo of Sirius' face where I could see there were more people with him, so I just couldn't wait to see the whole thing.

I'm mildly obsessed with it. *coughs*mildly*coughs* ;)

Tee hee hee.. if it's so, then I'm definitely accomplished. :D :D

Eeeee!

They're so adorable, and so happy! Which is a wonderful thing. And Sirius's tie!! Dork. ;)

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-11 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Mwahahaha. :D :D

So glad you liked it! And, well, Sirius' tie... it's just a his thing to do, isn't it? (Does this make sense somewhere other than my head?)

*hugs* Thank you! :D

[identity profile] zoesmith.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
They look so very happy! I love it that they look so happy! It makes me feel happy too. :-)

kisses

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-11 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
:D! Glad to hear you say so! That makes me feel all proud and accomplished. :D It's what one aims for while drawing laughing pictures, after all.

[identity profile] monophobia.livejournal.com 2005-07-08 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh man, that just hit me where it counts, as I'm nearly done rereading OotP. LOVELY, MY SWEET! <3 It's pictures like these that make me want to whisk you away and then have my way with you! If I could draw like that, I certainly wouldn't be making stick comics. XD

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-11 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
:D

(That's a very elated smile. You know, since you can't really tell the difference from there. :D)

Thank you thank you thank you!!

Point a, you do stick comics like nobody's business. And that's how we met to begin with, so there. :3 Then, if you think of stopping because of anything like that, I'll come there to BEAT YOU WITH A ROLLED UP NEWSPAPER. (Not that I actually would. But, you know.)

Point b, Image - just because. :D

Loveyouloveyouloveyou!

[identity profile] monophobia.livejournal.com 2005-07-11 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry my darling, I won't stop making them~! I've just been very idealess/unfunny lately (the comic I posted on Friday was one I drew months ago.. XD), with the working every day at a thankless job. I'm hoping book six + a trip to Japan will get me back on track. XD

I CAN'T IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT YOU~! (And I miss talking to you on AIM! Damn these time zones!)

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-12 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
I won't stop making them~!
You better! :P :P And don't worry, I understand being dry as a [insert random term of comparison here]. God, there are moments one would gladly bang one's head against the nearer and hardest wall. But often inspiration comes from the least expected things... so, who knows? ;D

WAAAAH BARBARA! *CLINGS* We'll beat the evil Time Zones.

[identity profile] monophobia.livejournal.com 2005-07-12 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm.. Banging my head sounds like a good idea... Except I have to go work a 8 hour shift, so maybe afterwards...


BUT OF COURSE! OUR LOVE CROSSES TIME!! *CLINGS BACK* <33333

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-12 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Or maybe not at all? You'll leave a stain on the wall, and then wifey will have to clean it. ;P ;P

oh, they all look so *happy* that it kind of breaks my heart, but in a good way...er, if having your heart broken can be good. um, what I mean to say is- Beautiful drawing! :D

hmm, i really thought i commented on this. I remember seeing it and thinking 'holy shit thats awesome' but I obviously did not express that sentiment here to you. let me try now.

I love James' hair and the way his hand is over his mouth in the universal 'holy cow, did that just happen?!' expression, & I love Sirius' eyes and the way that somehow even without colour they seem bright. Remus is of course always love but I really love the way his eyes are scrunched up. It's such a hard facial expression but I really think you've got it. and Peter looks like he's torn between horror and laughter sort of like, 'I can't believe we did that and it turned out so funny'look. anyway, well done :D

[identity profile] kasche.livejournal.com 2005-07-19 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
Aaaaah! I'm so sorry, I'm late something awful.

I'm truly glad that you liked it, and I appreciate a real lot that you left me such a detailed review.

James - leave a compliment on his hair and I'll love you forever. I've drawn him a total of three-four times, and it remains the part I find more difficulties with. :D I'm glad you think so of Sirius' eyes, too - lack of colors can often mean a lesser incisiveness of the picture. And Remus - well, Remus took a lot of work. I'm still not glad about how he turned out, but I am glad that you liked him. :D

Thank you so much again!
