Description
LOOK EVERYONE, I DREW A GUY.In one of my critiques for my muse designs, when I said I was considering designing Cupid, someone in the class remarked that they didn't think they had ever seen me draw a guy.
My friend piped in with "I have, they're hot!"
Favorite moment EVER in a critique.
Anyway, Cupid hasn't shown up yet in my Rise of the Guardians fanfic , but he's been mentioned plenty by other characters. He is very important to the Muses and vise-versa, particularly Erato . But I don't want to reveal the nature of his relationship with Erato yet. Some of you already know, and I have dropped hints.
Cupid only ages a year every century, so for a very long time he was mentally an adult but still looked like a child. This caused a lot of angst and frustration on Cupid's part, as well as all the popular depictions of him as an infant. He's now gotten to the point where he looks like he's about seventeen and is so pleased.
He has two types of arrows, the gold to evoke desire and the lead to evoke rejection. He usually wears a quiver attached to his thigh (his wings get in the way of one that would otherwise go on his back), but the turnaround was already so cluttered thanks to his wings so I didn't include it. The bow was a gift, but from who? Not yet revealed in the story, but he's had the same one forever, he's very attached to it.
On his forearm is a tattoo of an anatomical heart with an arrow through it. Beneath his collarbone is a tattoo that says "Amor Vincit Omnia." Love conquers all.
Do you guys think I used enough red?
Also, he's most comfortable when flying. He can walk fine but he tends to knock things over with his wings fairly frequently. I think he learned to fly before he learned to walk.
Something Quite Peculiar - Chapter 01
Chapter One: Reminiscing
The cabin could barely be called a cabin. It was more of a hut: a building in the loosest sense of the word. It had four walls and a roof, a door, a window, and a chimney that looked as though it were ready to fall over. Truthfully, it appeared that a strong gust of wind could knock down the shack, with signs surrounding which read, “Condemned” and “No Trespassing.”
The small structure was concealed behind several large trees, and was incredibly easy to miss, nestled within the forest that rarely anyone ventured into.
It was always snowing around this cabin, regardless of the season.
Inside was exceedingly less interesting than outside, if at all possible. There was only one room, which contained a mattress and pillow in the corner, a fireplace that appeared to have not been used in decades, and a few shelves on one of the walls.
The shelves proved to be at least somewhat intriguing, containing items such as a matryoshka do

It's a good rule, lol. I have high hopes for HttyD2 because it seems like they really took their time to do it right. I wasn't expecting to like HttyD as much as I did, I went to see it by myself the day of my senior prom (I was super cool, obv) because I like Craig Ferguson, lol. But yeah, RotG did something more for me.

Yeah. And Kit Harington (Jon Snow in Game of Thrones) will voice a character which is exciting because hey fandom crossover lol. Hey, I was so super cool I only attended two dances in all of high school. Dateless for both. I remember when Dreamworks first announced ROTG and I sadly thought it would be silly. It was something about how they originally marketed it. I figured I'd rent it. But then once more trailers came out and I learned about it... Saw it in theatres and boom it stole my heart.

I don't watch Game of Thrones (too far behind on like so many other shows) but one of the cast members was pictured holding the werewolf plushie I designed for Project Open Squish, so that was cool.
I think I went to two homecoming dances, always dateless, lol. So, I took myself to the movies for prom. Yeah, they marketed RotG weird, like quite a few of the trailers didn't have Jack in them at all. I remember thinking at first that Jamie played a bigger role and it was just about this kid that went on an adventure with Santa and the Easter Bunny. It was after they incorporated Jack into the trailers more that I got interested.
Idk I think their marketing team could have gone about it a different way, emphasized Jack more because he's got such a strong character, put out more merchandise or something. But then, I mentioned this to my dad and he made a good point (I dragged my family to see it with me for my birthday because I am an adult) in saying that while he enjoyed it, it was kind of a niche thing.

Oh wow! That's very cool! I've barely kept up with my shows.
Damn school. I still want to check out the new Dracula show.
The one time I might have had a date, he took back his invite on facebook and then never contacted me again lol. Then I saw him again a few months later (we went to different schools) and he looked SO embarrassed to see me. Good. lol.
I think the marketers were on crack or something, which contributed to the movie not doing well in the money-making arena. Trying to make it look like a Save Christmas movie was not a good idea. Haha I made my family see it right before my brother's birthday and I almost succeeded in seeing it again on his birthday, but my bro changed his mind at the last second. Literally last second. How dare he. lol.

Ugh, yeah, I want to watch the Sleepy Hallow series but it's on when I have my late class so I haven't even started it. I'm a whole season behind on Once Upon A Time and Revenge (I'm more upset about Once Upon A Time because I want to see this Neverland stuff!), and my late class constantly puts me behind on Castle. Also Teen Wolf, I still have like all of season three to get through with Teen Wolf (Stiles ). Stupid school, stupid projects, stupid barely leaving time to sleep after that.
Lol there was never potential for dates on my end. No one even really realized I was there until senior year when I became "art girl" (which I was okay with) and started talking a little more in class. I like to say that Hiccup was my prom date. And good, I'm glad he was made uncomfortable after that, lol.
Yeah, for sure. It's just weird watching some of those trailers now knowing what the actual plot was. My favorite part of the story was the characters (but I'm big on characters, like the story can be great but if I hate the characters I hate the movie), I would have liked to see more advertisements emphasizing their personalities. Though, =Khadrimx also made a good point when we were discussing this in saying that they were also marketing and such during the hurricane last year, and she knows that's why she didn't see a lot of ads for it.
Lol, I was like "We're going to see this PG movie for my 21st birthday because I am an adult." I went gambling after, so I mean there's that.

Sleepy Hollow is SO GOOD I definitely recommend you get to it when you have a chance. OUAT is good. I admit I have mixed feelings about the Neverland stuff, but I won't say anymore! Revenge is also pretty good mostly. Bah, I hate night classes. Which sucks because a lot of my film classes end up being at night.
I, a third year college student, have never been on an actual date. The thing with the high school guy was a group hang out and our mutual friend was trying to ship us. For some reason. I think it was because we were both theatre/film people....anyway the winter formal would have been my first official date but alas...'tws not meant to be with that coward lol. I was trying so hard not to cackle. He and his friend were working the concession stand at the play we were at. I ignored him and only talked to his friend, who was better looking anyway lol. Honestly, my pride hurt more than anything else. Awww Hiccup would be a nice prom date. lol.
Right, characters make everything, honestly. If I don't like them I don't care what they're doing. Ahhh that's a good point. I forgot about that. Haha I've never gambled before. My "adulting" is nsfw stuff and a few margaritas.

It's on my list! I'm hoping I'll have time to do some tv show marathons over Thanksgiving. I think the worst part of my night class (aside from it being at night and during the shows that I watch, obv) is that it's Computer Illustration I. I only took it to learn Illustrator better but I feel like I've only learned a handful of tricks and everything else is like "Well I knew how to do that..."
I'm one semester shy of graduating college and I have been on one date because I was morbidly curious and joined OKCupid for like a week. Terrible idea, terrible date, I had to resist the urge to run away the whole time omg. He talked so much (and was so LOUD), and the more he talked the more I disliked him. Also, I hate when friends ship you and someone else. Once, in high school, my friend wanted me to get with this guy who was constantly asking if I cut myself. Then last year one of my friends was always like "Oh yeah that guy totally likes you!" aaaand then she started dating him, lol.
Hiccup was an excellent prom date, he was a total gentleman. I mean except for kissing Astrid, I suppose, lol.
Characters are the best, this is probably why I've gone so overboard with the amount of OCs in my story, lol, oops. As far as gambling goes, I get nervous so I think the most I've ever won is like $7, lol.

Thanks! Here's an excerpt from the summary:
With the ability to inspire at will, to manipulate thoughts and dreams of great and impossible things, the nine Muses are exceptionally important and exceptionally powerful. And this power does not go unnoticed.
When the Muses are threatened by a dark entity hoping to harness their power, they must call upon the Guardians and their centuries-old alliance. Together they must learn more about this threat, and what can be done to stop it and keep the Guardians and Muses strong and alive.
Full summary's in the description for chapter one, linked in the description.

Truth? A bit dark for cupid. It might have been interesting if the black on his wings were red, or his shoes or something. I dunno, I'm not trying to tell you how to draw your character.
And yet, he's quite hot.
AND YOU'VE DRAWN GUYS JUST LOOK AT THOSE SEXY AS SHIT MCR PINUPS. I SAW THOSE AND HAD A FANGASM.

His shoes are supposed to be dark red, not sure how well it came across, lol. I think that was my personal preference taking over, I always have to talk myself out of, "MUST DRESS EVERYONE IN BLAAAAAAAAACK and then some red." But I let myself do it this time because I wanted to use red with him. Seriously everything I own is black and red, it's sort of sad, I'm permanently a 2005 MCR fan.
Haha, I don't show my classmates those!

What sucks is when you have a pile of black clothes on a black bedspread and attempt to find one black item specifically. #gothkidproblems
