bjornwilde: (Mulan-OUaT)
 Still enjoying A Game of Thrones and have just started the first chapter that focuses on Jon Snow. Still liking the little guy but am not feeling the strong urge to make a journal like I was this morning. *cough* walled_bastard *cough* I'm planning to at least wait to see if another journal name occurs to me.

Which leads me to the meat of this post, looking at the new/old voices in my head. I'm just looking at this this time rather than the whole lot.

Mulan (Once Upon A Time): Still love her but I am having doubts. She seems quite strong but I don't know if she wants me to tell her story or if she really belongs in Milliways. I also need to consider how Milliways will affect her canon since she may meet Storybrooke peeps and be exposed to technology. I'd likely bring her in shortly after Snow and Emma return to Stroybrooke to handle her lack of familiarity with guns.

Nolan (Defiance): Strong and my brain is busy trying to piece together his and Irisa's past. I also find myself looking forward to Tuesdays when new canon comes (I watch online at lunch) and I just love the world.

Batwoman/Kate Kane (DC Comics): She has been haunting me for sometime; ever since the second Batwoman #0 when we got to see her training. I also like that the Medusa/Urban Monster story arc is finally done and am looking forward to the new twists to her personal relationships. If I bring her back I am going to stick with her as Batwoman for a while as I think the trouble I had before was trying to have her be two different people.

Dear Interested Head Voice;
First I would like to thank you for your attention and your interesting character. However, I regret to inform you that we have no character slots at present. We will keep you letter on file and inform you of any change.

Thank you and good luck on the Wall,
Me.


I'm only two chapters into A Game Of Thrones and already Jon is jumping out at me. No, no, no. I have no time for the pups I have let alone the three news voices already brewing, I do not need a fourth when I only have two slots available anyway.

bjornwilde: (Andrea-BP)
Later in Andrea's canon from where she is now, Gunmetal Magic to be exact, she breaks down and sort of goes off the rails. I have been planning to use Iggy Pop and the Stogges' Search and Destroy as link text for when this happens, to wit, "I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm. I'm the runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb."

This works pretty well except she is neither a cheetah nor male, but no need to be that picky right?

This morning I am listening to a Mash-up which uses Avril Lavigne's What the Hell? and am reminded of the lyrics, to wit, "All my life I've been good but now, I'm thinking, what the hell?"

This works much better except it's Avril Lavigne and I can't decide if Andrea would hate her bubblegum-bad-girl-ness or love her.

ETA: Oh, I forgot part of P!nk's Raise Your Glass, "Can't stop, coming in hot. I should be locked up right on the spot. It's so on right now."

 A rare photo of a young Andrea Nash.

And now I want to bring this young Andrea into Bar. ;p

ETA: Also, as I knew would happen since I am taking a break from Milliways, I'm thinking of a newish pup, Baba Yaga. I blame the Night Watch series. Anyway, I'm thinking I could use Bea Arthur for PB or, since I am sure Baba Yaga can shapeshift, a mix of elderly, kick ass ladies such as Dame's Helen Mirren and Judy Dench. Can't decide if I like "hero_forger", "hero_smith" or "boney_legs" as a journal name though.

 So only a half-day of work as Her Ladyship is sick and her Grandmother was only able to watch her until lunch. May get some serious tagging in, may not as I still have laundry to do and her school work, as while she is absent from school, the work continues!

I'm about halfway through A Princess Of Mars and damn, why did I wait this long to read it? Quality entertainment y'all. Don't know about the movie though. I'm not sure whom I like more, John Carter or Tars Tarkas (whom I've always been drawn to despite having never read the books).

Which leads me to my pups. I seem to have a few that are making noise despite my vow to not app anyone new until the Big Project is done but it seems the best way to wake up my muses is to tell them they can't play.

Who shall make the cut? )
bjornwilde: (Dieter)
Another one of the characters from the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel that I love is Niten. An immortal human better know to us, and history, as Miyamoto Musashi. I've thought of playing him before but not too seriously. Then, just now, two possible PBs popped in my head; Byung-hun Lee (the actor who played Storm Shadow in the recent GI Joe movies) and Dong-gun Lang (the lead from The Warriors Way).

Why do I do this to myself?
bjornwilde: (Palamedes)
Pup musing time!

So 616 Ben, Julie/84, Thalia, Kate Kane/Batwoman and Mars are firmly in the staying box.

I'm tempted to let Ult. Ben go as getting through that last bit of OOM for 616 Ben took a lot out of me and I know Ult.'s canon will be tough as well and I'm not sure I want to go through with it. Plus now that 616 Ben is in his happy place, I kind of feel like two Ben's is too much. Ult. Ben still has a lot of potential for Millicanon though since the Ultimate writers seem to have forgotten about him and Susan.

Val von Doom is another I'm tempted to let go. I think I might be feeling like I have too many comic characters. There's still potential but I'm just not sure I want to go there.

Fresh faces:
Agent Phil Coulson seems a lot of fun. He seems to have this ability to talk to just about anyone. Definite potential there and I'd already have canon mates with Tony and Pepper. There was also a Hawkeye I played with briefly when I played with Coulson in [community profile] mixed_muses .

Palamedes has come back in a strong way and it wasn't even due to re-listening to his canon. I think it's because I finally found a PB which matches canon. I'd love to be able to play in an Arthurian sandbox and this guy fits the bill. Plus him being immortal is just icing!

Griffin O'Connor
is still a tempting head voice. I think I like him as he's morally grey and all my other pups are definite white hats. And I'll be honest, Moist's high jinx look like fun and I can see Griffin having a blast with him. And teleporters are always fun.

Lastly, Kerra Holt still holds a lot of appeal. I think it is two fold, a) because she'd be a Star Wars character and b) cause she's fighting a one jedi war against the Sith from within Sith space. Gotta love that.

So four tempting head voices for three available slots and two current head voices that I might let go.


bjornwilde: (Palamedes)
Music is a dangerous and wondrous thing. I was going through my playlists and came across one I had made for Palamedes from The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series and I'll be damned if the old fellow didn't wake up.

To be honest in the books he's not much of a character, spending most of his time supporting other characters. But so many hints are dropped about him that make him fascinating and I hope Mr. Scott doesn't forget him in future books once he's through with the main series this May. I mean what's not to love about a guy who's been immortal since before the time of King Arthur, is best friends with William Shakespeare (in fact in canon his story inspired Shakespeare to write Othelo), who still carries a torch for Iseult, who is the only being given free passage through any Shadow Realm (with no ill effects) and spends his time rescuing mortals who fall into or are kidnapped to said Shadow Realms? And did I mention he built a friggin' castle out of scrap cars in London (with no one noticing) and plays host to larve, lemures and Gabriel hounds? It's also been hinted at in interviews with the author that he's part of an unbroken Round Table of Knights that he has helped keep active! He even has ties to Sherwood forest (his Elder Master lives there).

And since I love to share, here are some of the songs on his play list. =)
Hollow Hills - Bauhaus
I Need A Hero - Jennifer Saunders
Veteran of the Psychic Wars - Blue Oyster Cult
No. 1 Crush - Garbage
Long Ago And Far Away - Shroud
Eloise - The Damned

bjornwilde: (Thing: Poker)
So things are good today. Her Ladyship (thank you [personal profile] innerbrat  for that title) is no longer sick (for the most part) and was going stir crazy last night. We sent her to school today so she could run wild with her pack. Work is busy this morning and I am hoping to push through it by lunch. And my muse seems fired up for fun.

Taking the day off yesterday helped a ton and the Ben OOMs have been writing themselves in my head; I just hope they sound as good when I write them. = ]

And since I mentioned it here is a snipet of the conclusion of the Fear Itself OOMs (a little hope and good feeling before I get into the misery again)...

Read more... )

Outside of this I am trying to think of a good t-minus id for Kate Kane...trying to work with something like "twice named" or "wounded soldier/warrior" but drawing a complete blank. "Called to serve" is another. Okay now then play.

Dear Pup

bjornwilde: (Thing_WTF)
Ben, I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for having to put you through the wringer just now and I know there's more to come but you will be stronger for having gone through all of this. I love you man.

Love, your number one fan.

PS-Here's a song for you to make up for it. Never forget, clobberin' time will always come and I will give you your moment even though Marvel didn't.

So say one were thinking of running Kerra Holt who looks like this in comic:


Can you offer any suggestions for a PB? To be honest, I think I've collected a good spread from her comic but I kind of like the idea of using a real face.
bjornwilde: (Default)
It all started at my hunt over at Embargo when I noticed a lady named Salliss Suicide. Now I'll admit I learned pretty quickly that any model listed with the last name of suicide is not a work safe model to do a google search of due to the likely hood of said model posing for the suicide girls website but by not including suicide in the search I discovered her Model Mayhem page which lists her as Salliss North and has less risque photos.


Anyway, here are some test icons, what do you guys think?

bjornwilde: (millipups)
Or at least a more honest look at them.
616 Ben Grimm ([personal profile] ever_lovin )
Definitely going strong. I see the path into Fear Itself and I think I am just waiting for the DW migration to officially start before I begin publishing. I could be smart and start writing these up now so I can post them in a timely fashion.
Staying.
Ult. Ben Grimm ([personal profile] unbreakableben )
It really is a bit taxing to have two versions of the same character but I find it hard to let go of either Ben. The potential for AU fun post canon is great. At the very least I feel I owe it to him to take him through canon.
On the fence.
Jessica Drew ([personal profile] justdyedit )
I had been thinking of letting her go but with the idea of taking her AU and focusing on her being an Agent of SWORD (think the MU's MiBs) pushes her back into the super spy I fell in love with.
Staying. Okay maybe she's really on the fence. With my future plans of only sticking with F4 related comics, I kind of feel like I'd be giving Jess teh shaft since I'd not be reading her canon, i.e. Avengers.
Val von Doom ([personal profile] time_dancer )
I feel guilty about this but I think I am going to let her go post move in order to make room for Valeria Richards. Val has had a good run and her potential for whatever shenanigans is great but I really am likely Val Richards.
Going.
Julie Finster ([personal profile] fiss84 )
Love Julie! And now that I have her to the point in canon where she's come into her own I love her even more. Soon it will be time to bring inAdult84.
Staying.
Thalia Grace ([personal profile] chameno_koritsi )
With the move I am going to take the opportunity to push her back into canon. I should start write ups for Titan's Curse now. How quickly I push her to the next series depends on canon mate but I can go either way.
Staying.
Rincewind ([personal profile] mis_adventurer )
Fun guy but I'm not so sure about keeping him. I haven't run an EP since the week he was approved. He is still fun for pure crack so I may keep him.
On the fence.
Mars ([personal profile] u2642 )
Just approved and very loud voice. He already wants to go off to fight in the Fall Out-verse and he's only had one EP! I also need to figure out how goats typically act as that goat he was carrying in his First EP is becoming an NPC. = /
Definitely staying.

 
Under studies:
Valeria Richards ([personal profile] 2smartbyhalf )/Fantastic Four, FF, X-23
Love what they are doing with little Val in the comics and I really love to potential she and X could have within Bar.
 
Griffin O'Conner (used2bnice)/Jumper, Jumper: Griffin's Story
Fun guy who skirts the edges of villainy. Lots of potential for grey area fun.
Monroe (pilates_wolf)/Grimm
I love Monroe's snark and the monster trying to find peace.
Kate Kane, Batwoman (to_serve)/ Batwoman
Kate is a fascinating character to me and I love her reasons for doning the bat. Don't know that I am familiar enough with DC canon but with the reboot is this an issue?

I know I have more spare character journals but these ones have clear voices. And I need to update my milli-pup icon.

bjornwilde: (B-fastfood)
 Listening to Throwing Muses this morning and getting in gear to clean out my in box. Signed up for Fitocracy.com (thank you for the invite Cam) and it looks like a good, push-type website for exercising. I've worked with Spark People before which is a good site but it relies more on you doing things and doesn't "assign" you things to do like Fitocracy does. Now if I could just figure out how to give props back.

I am hoping post-lunch I will get a chance to play a bit but with how work has been I'm not holding my breath. I'm also thinking of applying Mars to Milliways but am waiting to hear if he counts as an Ares as Ares is a retired character.

Guess that's it this morning unless anyone has any suggestions for icon comm's here at DW?

ETA: File this under comics I want to read NOW! (Image link which is medium sized and safe for work.)  From Comics Alliance.

The sickness has turned to be more like allergies now and clinging, dear god don't leave me alone allergies at that. Bleck.

I think I'll be starting Diane Wynn Jones' Chrestomanci series next. I'm actually still reading Airborn but last night I miss placed it and so picked up The Chronicles of Chrestomanci: Volume One (which includes Charmed Life and The Lives of Christopher Chant) and before I knew it I was twenty pages in.

In Milliways news, I think I need to figure out how to exit Ult. Ben Grimm from the stage once he finishes helping the Half-Life world. Now that I am focused on bringing 616 Ben back, two Ben's is feeling too much. I may change my mind but that's where I am right now. I'm also going back and forth on whether to keep Jessica Drew. Maybe I just need to focus on her being an agent of Sword and not bother with canon aside from the vaguest of nods.

And with that, I think I am going to take the morning off of tagging. Or wait until the coffee kicks in. ; p I do need to EP Val and I have a Julie Finster EP waiting as well.

The Yuletide project continues nicely. I have a much better idea of direction now though I haven't written any more since yesterday.

Oh I forgot the weird Mozambique posters of super heroes self-checking for breast cancer. Stay classy Mozambique. Okay the Wonder Woman and Strom don't bug me but the She-Hulk bursting through a wall and then self-checking or Catwoman self-checking with her claws just doesn't seem right.
bjornwilde: (Batwoman)
I think I found my Kate Kane (with some photoshoping to alter the hair color and skin tone of course).
bjornwilde: (Default)
A poll for my milliways friends or those who want to vote anyway...
One of the characters I play over in Milliways Bar is Thalia Grace from the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series' of books and I have always had a hard time finding a good PB icon for use (PB icon means played by icon, think casting the role for a movie). I have been using Maggie Grace from 12 Mile Road and she's been really close but the hair is all wrong and she reminds people of her Lost character too much.
Oooo look a nice lj-cut! )
