motetusWhat I should be doing: reading a PD-10 desalting column manual to work out how to use it before my protein precipitates out.
What I am doing: Reading about Rani Lakshmibai, researching Indian mural styles and trying to work out how to imitate it for a tiger-hunting scene, and wondering how on earth I could draw faces looking European but without being too out-of-place for the style and-
GODDAMMIT.

Date: 2011-07-21 02:50 pm (UTC)READOGLE AAALLLL OF IT. Holy shit, that looks awesome and utterly homoerotic and perfect for an Eagle AU.Well, the Indian style I was thinking of ripping off was something like this:
so, y'know, that style where everyone is drawn in profile but I have no idea how I could get the non-Indians looking recognisable but not stray too far from the style. But maybe with two great big elephants and their howdahs (HEY GUESS WHAT THIS IS FOR) all the people will be too tiny to cause problems.
Yeah Zoe, like you really need another illustration on the to-do pile.

Date: 2011-07-22 05:24 am (UTC)I also support how you clearly tried, TRIED to RTFM and apply it to whatever with the proteins. Having tried, you can now settle down into an entire weekend of bollywood.
Also, Rani was totally killed in the Rebellion of the Sepoys in 1857. I know about these things now. Anyone wanna have a chat about the Raj? I'm in.

Date: 2011-07-22 03:47 pm (UTC)However, I should point out that I am MOST DISAPPOINTED that St. John is not going to work for Prince Krishna now. Just think of where that could have led! It could turn out to be a trap set by Thugees who want a virgin sacrifice to appease Kali Maa. St. John is dressed up in white and decorated with flowers, but luckily the gallant Captain rescues him before he can be plunged into boiling lava. Then they free all the child slaves, return them to their families, and then thoroughly ensure St. John can never be mistaken for a virgin.
But you've probably still got time to get him to change his mind...

Date: 2011-07-22 04:12 pm (UTC)And I can't tell you how *intrigued* I am by both of them deciding, for the common good, to labor very hard to ensure St. John could never be considered a virgin again, in any way shape or form. like, even his EARS would no longer be virgin.

Date: 2011-07-22 05:47 pm (UTC)I am also in favour of St. John being deflowered in every possible way, you could not imagine how much in favour of that I am. But with the way things are progressing (and I mean this in the best way possible because any different would be utterly out of character) St. John will finally consent to having a cock up his arse around chapter 2865.

Date: 2011-07-22 09:12 pm (UTC)also: that userpic you just uploaded? The one of SJ's lips and mutton chops and collar? There can never be enough of those. I think I am going to end up watching Jane Eyre AGAIN tonight.

Date: 2011-07-22 10:14 pm (UTC)(I still have not seen Jane Eyre, though I am rereading the book. Fuck you, UK release dates)
YES I SUPPORT THIS DEFLOWERING CHAPTER. Though I suspect both the Captain and the Reverend would be happier if it were Cpt. Aquilaine getting sodomised but hey, it's only fair if they take turns, right?

Date: 2011-07-22 11:47 pm (UTC)UGH. THEY ARE STILL CALLING TO ME.
Why movie not out in UK? That dumb. Movie SET IN UK. Um, pirate it? SUCH DELICIOUS SCENES.
I think, after the damn thing is finally done, there will have to be a few supplemental chapters written. Too much that can't fit in the story as it is at the moment, but too much that NEEDS TO BE SAID. VIGOROUSLY. I also see the Rev being a definite I'll-put-it-in-you-no-don't-put-it-in-me sort of chap. But the Captain will insist that he try everything at least once or twice...
MAYBE I SHOULD EITHER SHUT UP OR JUST TELL YOU HOW IT ALL ENDS. HRRRRRM.

P.S. If you spoil the ending for me, I will paint the Captain with Spongebob Squarepants bedlinen. I swear it.
