D: Oh Kingdom Hearts. It has come to this.

I love my LJ layout. Love. Beyond all sanity. I've put a lot of hours into it. It uses 15 different images (many of which are on their third version). I have coding that only ever affects me (I love my stupid tag, which can only be seen when viewing my LJ in my style, BUT I CARE NOT). It's been my layout for years, and every time I turn around I tweak it a bit more.

But it doesn't fit me any more. :( I have moved on from Kingdom Hearts. I have no plot ideas for fic. I have no urge to draw. I even have no urge to play the latest game. Sad times. :(

So I think I'm going to re-do my LJ layout. (If I can manage it, DW will be set to match, but after I work with LJ. It'll be easier that way.) Below the cut is the first rendition of my new header. It's kind of big—I would like it wider, and not quite so tall. Also, the transition at the bottom is messymessymessy and the text is still up in the air. :\ I need to work on that. BAH. This would be so much easier if I could find a version of that image without the text. I would like to have Beast in the bottom-right background, and I think Wasp (YellowJacket? WHO IS THAT?) will be in the title-bar area. Also, something with Cap's shield. Hmmm... ANYWAY.



So I suppose this is goodbye, Quixotic Layout. I will miss you! (tear) I will console myself with writing femslash, and making myself sim-sick on Portal.

That's pretty freaking awesome, and that's coming from someone that has next to no clue who those folks are. ;)

:D They are a gender-bent villain-based variation on the Avengers. (A villain was messing with someone's mind; all of the pictured have her features pretty much.) From left to right: Clint Barton (Hawkeye), Thor Odinson (aka Donald Blake), Tony Stark (Iron Man), Steve Rogers (Captain America) & Vision. Here's (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y84/tsukinofaerii/IMHYP005.jpg) the whole cover, which also shows (I think) Giant Man (Hank Pym), Beast and Unknown Tiny Person Who May Be Wasp (Janet Van Dyne).

That explains things a big. I was pretty sure the front one was supposed to be Iron Man and then Captain America, but yes, they're all gals, so I didn't know if they were side-kick wanna-bes or something. ;)

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

Well, there has been Rescue (which is Pepper Potts in her own set of armor), and Natasha Stark (who is an official AU version of Tony; apparently if he'd been a girl, she would have married Steve). For Cap, there was American Dream, who was the granddaughter of one of his Love Interests. (It's complicated.)

I'm pretty sure Marvel just does this sort of thing to tease us.

Wasn't Hank called YellowJacket at one time or another?

also: is this official art and why have I never seen it before

[velithya]

Right, saw your comment above. Random tiny person looks like they are wearing Hank's costume! Are you sure Hank is the big person?

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

No, I am not! But the only time (again, I think) someone wears the red spandex, it's Giant Girl in MA. D: It's confuzzling!

[velithya]

Do we have an accurate list of the people who are actally in the comic?

I mean, if Beast is in there then maybe the giant person is another X-man and the tiny person is Hank

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

According to Valtyr, they may both be Hank. :o Since it is a villain masquerading and all, that's actually kind of feasible. So yay for the Hank-love? (You know, before he went batshit.)

[velithya]

Righto! Yeah, I love me some Hank. SCIENTIFIC ADVENTURER <o/

[valtyr]

That is very nice. I love the 'Stand still, look pretty' thing.

Here is nice large version with no bar across the bottom, so you get all of Beast. Between the two covers you should have all of it?

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

♥ I may or may not be slightly obsessed with that song right now. >_>

I think I love you. THANK YOU! :D YAY for girl!Beast. :D

The layout is dead, long live the layout!

Also, um. I have Hypervelocity in trade, and the image there does not have any bars or nasty bar codes. I do not have a scanner, however, and it will be a while until I can get to one. Do you wish it done?

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

(has a moment of silent, then goes cheerily back to digging its grave)

That would be wonderful just to have as art, but valtyr posted a link to the comic version just above you (look up and wave. :D), which gives me Beast and tiny!Hank. So I've got what I need to work on. But thank you! (hugs!)

[cursor-mundi.livejournal.com]

Mmm, saw that--but it has the bar code box! The page I have has no interruptions at all, save for the #5 in the upper left corner.

Did you put in the "Stand Still, Look Pretty" or is that someone else?

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

♥ If you can get a clean scan, I would love you forever and ever (even more than I already do).

The whole thing is mine except the original art. I've a thing for that song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRatSp6_GOQ&) lately. ¬¬ I blame Stevie.

[caer-swan.livejournal.com]

I really love that bit of art! I know it'll be hard work but I cannot wait to see the result! :)

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

♥ HEE. Isn't that art gorgeous? Why cannot the current IM comics look so pretty?

Coding is coming together! My taste for "MOAR GRAPHICS" is costing me dearly. It always does.
