shiemoe started following you

"You're the mermaid, right?"

Reika is the master of odd conversation starters, and when he sees the actor from last month's "A Play in the Waves" sitting at the sophomore's hang out, he takes it as divine providence and marches on over to him.

The sophomore, who'd played a mermaid princess, is understandably confused.

"- - What."

"You. You're the mermaid- princess, as I recall it. I wanted to say 'Hi'." Reika replies easily, as if his behavior was anything but absurd.

"Why." The sophomore was still dumbfounded.

"Because you're pretty. Should I say handsome? Haha, it's fine, you can be offended at me, but I just wanted to say so- -" A voice leveled with reason interrupts Reika's ramblings.

"Reika, stop traumatizing the underclassmen."

He glances over his shoulder at another bespectacled student, before looking back at the sophomore and grinning.

"I'll see you again, soon, mermaid princess~"

And with that, he leaves.

Yuya is very disturbed.

Perception is a clash of mind and eye, the eye believing what it sees, the mind seeing what it believes.

200 years since Charles Dickens was born :) 

A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.                                                           —Charles Dickens

Because writing Paurris is fun.

Paul wonders what Ferris would look like with longer hair.

A cute little horse tail, or maybe a mullet- he refrains from sighing dreamily, in case the hair dresser asked him about his problems and he began to blubber like a school girl (the last time he did it he got charged extra because the hair dresser laughed so hard she accidentally bumped into someone under the dryer).

Or maybe, if he dyed his hair- - but then Paul liked the sleek blackness of Ferris' hair, and thinks that blonde wouldn't suit his face at all.

He wonders what he'd look like with a goatee- and he has to stifle a little sigh at the thought of an older Ferris, frowning severely at his laptop as he tugged at the fine hairs on his chin. So chic, so modern.

Speaking of- what about something retro? Ferris already had sideburns, what if his hair had more volume, like in those 80's movies?

Paul grabs a nearby catalog, and spends the rest of his hair treatment hour giggling at the thought of Ferris with an afro.

Christopher Salmon and his team continue their animated version of The Price. I don’t think I’d realised that their animated version of me would be quite so me-ey…

[quote-book]

“Love is merely a madness, and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do; and the reason why they are not so punished and cured is that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too.”

Rosalind, As You Like It  by William Shakespeare (via kyuute)

I don’t know how to draw kisses or hugs. I wish I did.

Anyway, I’m having problem drawing the next page for Gorge (probably because I haven’t started sketching or planning for it, at all). Sigh….I just want to lie down and sleep till Monday.

Paul was daydreaming again. Drool spilled from his mouth and dripped down the side of it, and it was all quite disgusting, coupled with the dazed look on his face. Zach thought it was off-putting, but nobody could argue with advertisements like "Cheesy Luxury!" so he bore with it.

--

Zach was not existing in Paul's current frame of mind.

Actually, no one else existed- but him and Ferris Levinstein.

Ferris Levinstein.

Ferris.

Sitting there, looking calm and collected when Paul knew he was waiting for him. Had been waiting for him. He was there, now.

He reaches for Ferris' chin, that aristocratic jawline, to tilt his defiant face up to his, and he can see the anticipation in that gaze, just as he leans down, pulling Ferris forward into a searing, hot ki- -

--

"Paul, you're being really gross, here, have a cheese stick."

Damn you, Zach Straight.
