Comin’ back to Tumblr to see several of my drawings have been flagged for sensitive content.

Just a shout out to @randommindtime. They’ve made so many amazing Stargate Atlantis music vids, but what they may not realize is that this vid:
this one has become my go-to vid for my panic disorder. As a kid I was in a horrible abusive situation, and the abuse I received was blamed on me for being afraid. So I guess it’s no surprise that decades of repression later, I’ve developed a disorder that could be summed up as a fear of fear. And when my fears get so strong and I wish so hard to suppress them, when I feel like I cannot handle it any further, when I feel completely lost, I come to this vid and it helps me live with and accept my fear better than anything else I know.
Then, suddenly, being scared isn’t so scary anymore.
So, thanks, @randommindtime.
I’m so, so glad that this video brings you that kind of comfort!! Especially since I almost didn’t post it because I felt it was “unfinished”. Truthfully, I made it because I, too, was going through a lot of fear at the time. I had just started a new job where a HUGE amount of responsibility was put onto my shoulders and I was in constant dread that I would mess it up. From a young age, I always felt like I wasn’t good enough to be professional at, well, anything and the 1+ year of unemployment before this job only strengthened that belief. Walking through fear SUCKS but I’m aware now that I feel it when I’m afraid of losing something I have or not getting something I want. And for me, that’s living in a future that doesn’t exist yet. Fear also points out very important things to me, like what I might be putting too much reliance on, or how much I value things, so it isn’t all bad. It can definitely be our superpower (and I’m grateful for that speech from Dr. Who, because it’s so wonderfully articulated).
All of our fears are different and I’m sorry yours can be so overwhelming, but I’m glad that something I made can help you with that. So, you’re welcome. :)
And I’m sorry I took awhile to respond. I saw a notice for this in my inbox and it really touched me, but then life completely distracted me (as it does these days).
@buffycuddlespigs @otherearthsoutthere - I’ve missed you guys, too! I’m happy I could post some art and contribute to this lovely, lovely fandom again. I’ve literally had no time for fandom recently, which is a shame, but not a total lose because I’ve been busy doing a lot IRL.
Besides things at my work still going 100mph, I’ve been volunteering a lot more recently. I saw a premier screening of Sorry To Bother You a few months ago and heard the director, Boots Riley, and Danny Glover talk about how words really weren’t enough - that showing up and action are really what brings about change, and it really inspired me to get out more and support organizations working to bring some peace back to America. That, along with several friends of mine (unfortunately) being sexual assault survivors and being so disheartened by the Kavanaugh appointment (myself included), it just brought about this feeling of “either I sit here and let it burn, or I get up and help.”
So, I’ve been doing what I can to get people out to vote and supporting sexual assault survivors, as well as people who are recovering from addiction with the opioid crisis still going strong.
My mantra in life continues to be - “They can pry my kindness from my cold, dead hands!”
That being said, I have been meaning to take a break and have some “me time” back in fandom because it warms my heart and I miss it.
TL;DR - I missed you and hope everyone is doing well and hope to be back into it sometime this winter. xoxo

FIC - Melagan (Area 51)
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: None

READ HERE!
Created for the SGAReverseBang 2018.
Notes: I have been gone for the SGA interwebs for what feels like ages, BUT ART AND FIC ARE NOW UP!! This is probably the longest art/fic exchange I’ve ever been a part of. I drew this back in July! I have yet to read Melagan’s fic but I’m very excited to see what nonsense she has these two getting up to. The art idea came from a few very old post I made about slacker!John owning an alien tourist attraction on Route 357 and Rodney working close by on official Area 51 stuff. I hope everyone enjoys!

MY EYES WAS SO WIDE I AM READY
I’m losing my mind I just saw panic in Pittsburgh and while they set up Africa by Toto came on and the entire crowd went wild and turned on their phone lights and sang and I was sitting next to a dad in his fifties and he was SO confused he said “this wasn’t even this big of a hit when it came out???”

“I’m in a tank and your not” is probably the best argument ever.
Alright - artwork has been submitted for the SGAReverseBang!
I was very ambitious with this piece and TBH, it might be my favorite I’ve ever done. I didn’t start out to make a fully-formed piece (and I loathe drawing backgrounds) but I did all of that, including some complicated shading and pattern-design.
I’m excited to see what someone writes for it! As I said before - keep your eye out for a thumbnail that is HIGHLY neon if you’re looking for my piece to choose.

Hell yes, I finished my art for the SGA Reverse Bang! Only took me all weekend (because I went a little intense with it, TBH).
Question, though - I don’t have the slightest idea on how to post it on LJ? I’m so far removed from the platform. Does anyone know if I should wait to post it before a certain date (I know it says that July 4th is the due date for art) or if there’s a specific way to post it?
Thanks for the help and spoilers - there’s alot of neon going on in this drawing, so be prepared for that lol
Hi there, @randommindtime
you don’t post it at all, not yet. You email it to the mod together with a thumbnail and headers, and the mod makes a master claiming post for the writers. Then later on you post it wherever when you and your writer have chosen a posting date, linking to and fro to each other’s fic and art posts on AO3 or tumblr etc. See the system explained here on LJ: https://sgareversebang.livejournal.com/110054.html
If you can’t access that post let me know and I’ll copy it here. :)
Also, go you!!
@randommindtime @mific
Thank you for asking that question, and thank you for the answer. I was going to just post my full painting.
@randommindtime @otherearthsoutthere I left a note but decided to reblog it as there’s not a lot of info out there.
Remember that ALL the writers claiming your art will be able to see is the 300px thumbnail. So you need to make sure it covers enough of the pic to inspire or intrigue a writer. You can either crop part of your artwork, or miniaturize the whole pic.
Also, you can say which pairing you prefer if that’s not clear in your art. So I put (for pairing) “John/Rodney or John and Rodney (slash or gen.)”
A pic just of John might say “John Sheppard. Slash pairings preferred with John, anyone except Carson is fine.” Etc.
Or art of the team might say. “John, Ronon, Teyla and Rodney. Gen only please, no pairings.”
It’s good to flag it in your claiming preview headers if you have any strong preference, while keeping the notes short. Once it’s claimed you can liaise in more depth with your writer if you have any major “do not wants”.
THANK YOU for the extended explanation! I’m sending over my art soon and didn’t realize that all that would be shown was the thumbnail when people chose the piece.
popkin16 replied to your post “Hell yes, I finished my art for the SGA Reverse Bang! Only took me all...”
I think you wait until posting date, and then they all go up and author's post what art they want
@popkin16 I actually found this email in a previous post, so I think I need to email it in - [email protected]
I’m going to wait to put small edits in tomorrow but then it’s off to the presses!
