All art is at once surface and symbol

Remember that one quote by J.K. Rowling? Let me tweak it a bit: "If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his NOTP and its shippers, not his OTP and their shippers.”

You know what? I've been keeping this bottled for a while. I've spoken with close friends about it, and they made me feel better enormously, so I thought that was the end of that. But I might as well tell you what happened, DW and LJ.

So, there's these two artists who are twins in the Earthbound fandom who draw for an obscure pairing: Jeff/Poo. They've put a lot of thought into their headcanon (Jeff and Poo would eventually raise a couple Mr. Saturns), their art is cute, and their smut is tasteful. Unfortunately, there's a reason I don't follow them on tumblr and separate their art from them as people. And it looks like that reason won't be changing anytime soon.

( Ladies and Gentlemen? This is how NOT to react to your NOTP. )

tl;dr: I'm a horrible, dirty Jeff/Tony shipper, and putting Tony in art (especially with Jeff) is offensive, because HE'S EVERYWHEEEEEERE OMG.

Anyway, off to feed the campus cats. They'll cheer me up.

Goddammit. I should be happy I dumped my Les Miserables music in the Recycle Bin since I didn't like the musical that much (save for Valjean, the fugitive plot with Valjean being chased by Javert, and a few songs but eh) and replaced it with Avenue Q (♥♥♥). I never cared for the romance or "triangle" in it either, and I'm probably one of the few people who thought Eponine on stage was a 1-dimensional whiner whose entire personality consisted of pining over Marius.

So why do I apply "A Little Fall of Rain" to Jeff & Tony and suddenly it's tragically adorable? Answer: Earthbound makes everything better? I dunno. But what a way for two schoolboys to guilt-trip me over one song. :P

Jean and I have done it again! Here's the infamous Jeff/Tony fic I've been talking about. Just be warned though, it REALLY sucks being Tony in this fic.This you'll realize in a bit. >.>

The Green Grass of Winters (Earthbound/Mother 2) (Jeff x Tony) (NC-17)

+

AFF.net edition!

Edit: If you guys haven't seen Night of the Werehog, it's actually really cute. It's like Casper Meets Pixar*Shorts. :)

I want to ram a dagger through Windows Movie Maker. But on the plus side? I got something more important uploaded:

Jeff x Tony fluff smut! ♥

Yes. I'm finally happy to get that done. XD

Here's the AFF.net and Peachie's Closet counterparts!

So I traumatized myself writing around five sentences in my mega Sonicfic again. Then I spent time making revisions to Jeff/Tony pr0n and preparing for the final scenes, then went skittering off looking for shippy and/or slashy Earthbound art. What a relief! XD Mainly hung out at this site and shared with Jeshi. Went through sketch collections to find Poo/Paula goodies and look through the BL folder and giggle. Mind you, I don't slash Poo with anyone (he's got the ladies at home! :o), but since there to poke fun of His Royal Frownie-Face and I'm secretly intrigued by Poo/Jeff if only for the eyecandy and perviness for Puri to giggle over. Sheesh, that one comic had Jeff's hand slip under Poo's gi right over the friggin' crotch.

I went to look for Loid slash. No luck, though I did find a bunch of adorable stuff with him. Hell, I even found a place that had THE MOST BADASS JEFF EVER along with wicked Mario art and DUNDUNDUN Super Mario RPG! Featuring Geno using a crossbow. *_____________________* Dear Japanese: do you guys ship Bowser/Mallow? I see that show up a lot.

Alas, my quest for EB slash leads to Mother 3 stuff, and I can't say twincest is my cup of coffee. XD *sniffles* Which reminds me of something.

People who whine and complain about Lucas replacing Ness makes me roll my eyes. Hell, talk to any random Ness player in a Smash Bros. convention. Chances are, they never played Earthbound, let alone the Mother series, at all. Mother 3 is a MASSIVE hit in Japan. And if you've heard Lucas's story, HOO boy, grab a Kleenix box. Naturally if you're oblivious to this and only know about Ness from his appearances in Smash Bros, you're bound to get cranky and want things to stay the same. Wow. Smash Bros. fandom loved hating Ness, and now that he's gone, they complain about wanting him back while playing hockey with Lucas's body. Ugh, ignorance is painful.

My Hanukkah lappie came today~! ♥ His name is Loid, and he's super cute, smooth and shiny. *____________* Basically the computer guy in my dorm is working on installing stuff, and then we're transferring old stuff from the hard drive of my dead computer like my Earthbound 0 ROM file, icons and endless fanart museum (like the Sonadow shrine and the giant Jeff/Tony library I'm building). XD

Speaking of Tony. Been darn obsessed with him lately. oO;;; I NEED MOAR CUTE ICONS. It's so darn addicting using these, he's so cute. XD Or maybe I just have a thing for red hair. Hm. *uses a Jeff/Tony one* Hee~! ♥♥♥

Taken from sakebi:

So. Comment here, and I shall make you an FST or some other mix of some kind. Just please leave:

+ A Fandom (as long as I'm familiar)
+ A Character or Subject (like, "your mom" or "songs relating to people your mom has done")
+ At least one artist that you simply cannot stand and thus will hate me for putting on the FST (if applicable)

Optional:

+ A genre (rock, hip-hop, rocksteady, etc). Note that if it's too obscure, I will hurt you.

I'll have it be no less than 5 songs, and probably no more than 7 unless I go nuts.

Might be harder for me to do according to genre, but I'll see what I can do. XD

Greenband Jiggly: Like, Jeff could've fallen in the lake and Tony dived in there via vine aka Tarzan and saved him from drowning/freezing.
Greenband Jiggly: Tony's stats when Jeff is threatened: SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!
EiviiaruNoEimu: Now there's an image.
Greenband Jiggly: Jeff: *saved from drowning in swimming pool* *pantpant* That was so close... who helped me?
Boys: *point to a smiling Tony*
Tony: I think I was lucky... I can't swim more than three feet!
Everyone: *faints*
Greenband Jiggly: Or two feet. XD
EiviiaruNoEimu: Nice.
Greenband Jiggly: Tony: *playing the fiddle in music class*
Jeff: *waiting* *watching through window* Hmm... they say Tony's the best player of the band. He IS kinda good, I think...
Tony: *smiles and waves*
Jeff: *blush*
Greenband Jiggly: Tony's his angel~
EiviiaruNoEimu: Awww. Cute.
Greenband Jiggly: Jeff has the brains. Tony excels at the heart. :3
EiviiaruNoEimu: I can see it.
Greenband Jiggly: In other words, super high EQ. Tony notices things hidden to others.
Greenband Jiggly: Jeff: *tending a baby bird that fell outta the nest* He's got a broken leg... I fixed it, but I don't understand. Why is he still hurt?
Tony: *holds a cracker* *birdie eats it* He's hungry. His mother hadn't fed him yet...
EiviiaruNoEimu: Awwww baby bird
Greenband Jiggly: ...Okay, them tending baby birds. That's the most precious image ever.
Greenband Jiggly: They'll take turns keeping it warm and nursing it back to health until it can fly back to the nest
Greenband Jiggly: *~
EiviiaruNoEimu: I would draw fanart of that if I could draw.
Greenband Jiggly: Awwwwww! I should poke someone. :3
EiviiaruNoEimu: You should!
Greenband Jiggly: Awww, really?
Greenband Jiggly: Tony: *laughing with joy as bird takes leave to the sky*
Jeff: *smiles and holds Tony's hand*
Tony: *blushes*
EiviiaruNoEimu: It's a cute image.
Greenband Jiggly: Jeff & Tony: Together, They Rescue Birdies~

~

Greenband Jiggly: Paula: *squealing* Oh my gosh, you two are so adorable together~!
EiviiaruNoEimu: .. that has the potential to get awkward fast.
Greenband Jiggly: Ness: I know who else wants to snuggle in Jeff's hand next.
Jeff: Okay, now THIS is getting really awkward.
EiviiaruNoEimu: "Uh, I'm not sure this conversation is 100% appropriate."
Greenband Jiggly: Jeff: I never delve into your or Paula's life in bed. *whimper*
EiviiaruNoEimu: ("... and that wasn't a request for details!")

( Earthbound Napkin Art! )

I'll be scanning much more pics tomorrow~! For now, I gotta go to bed. Happy Hallow's Eve!
