The Shadows on My Wall Don't Sleep

Galen (Crusade)/The Gray Lady (HP)

Technomage and Hogwarts house ghost, just have Galen investigating the ruins of Hogwarts and you're off.

Jar-Jar (Star Wars)/A Dread Pirate Roberts

Well the Dread Pirate Roberts thing had to start sometime, why not a time long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away?

Joan of Arc/Louis (Vampire Chronicles)

The time line is the only problem here, solved either by making Joan a vampire or by letting Louis pull a Lestat and having a religious vision that actually sends him back in time. (Oh Anne, what arewere you smoking.)

Julian Bashir (Deep Space Nine)/Paris (Iliad)

Hello, holodeck!

Mike Donovan (V)/Botan (YYH)

This one is yours, iceraptoress.

Go on, hurt your brain.

A person's LJ interest list is not the be all and end all of their interests and hobbies people!

LJ only lets you have 150 interests, something I discovered when I hit the hard limit with my own interest list. That alone makes it impossible for me to put a list of every anime, TV show, book, movie, and musical artist I'm interested in, never mind more generic umbrella interests and hobbies.

Therefore, when someone asks for more information about something you've posted about in a multi-fandom community checking their interest list and saying "I don't think you're in the fandom" is pretty stupid. And it makes you sound like an elitist bitch to some segment of the population reading the comment threads.

I've been chatting with someone about cosplaying Kaede (from Inuyasha) and came up with this idea for her friend with lots of long dark hair.

( Diagram behind the cut )

The basic idea is that for a person with a lot of hair a wig might be a bit of a hassle. Since Kaede (and several other characters I can think of) ties her hair in a very low ponytail there's theoretically room for a snood (a cloth or net sack to hold a person's hair) above the tie.

Now if someone were cosplaying Kikyo and already had long dark hair (long in this case being sufficient to bind into a tail at the appropriate point) this is overkill. If their hair is dark and long enough then all they really need is a (possibly modified) Halo frame (if they don't want to cut fringe) and some wefted hair to match their own hair to add length to the ponytail.

Getting back to the snood-wig, it could also be used by someone with shorter hair if they wanted to have something lighter than a full wig (since even old lady anime characters have huge amounts of hair it seems). They could just add some stuffing to the snood (and possibly a small weight in the bottom to make the hair behave more naturally).

Disclaimer: I have not built a snood-wig so this is all theory based on my knowledge of things like wigs and sewing.

'Cause some friends and I could use a smile:

A new fragrance for men.

1. Copy and paste your LJ Friends List into an update and leave behind an LJ Cut.
2. • If you've met them in person or otherwise know them from the offline world, bold their screenname.
   • If you've only talked to them on the phone, italicize their name.
   • If you've only talked to them online, leave their name alone.
   • If you have someone on your Friends List who has multiple LJ's, only use one and get rid of the rest from the list.
3. Post and let other people copy the meme.

( And away we go... )

I may be weird but bolding some of those names feels a bit like name dropping.

Undoubtedly someone on my friends list posted this and I just didn't pay attention:

Did the Jedi have it coming?

I'll hop in the bandwagon for this one. And expand it a bit.

• I shall list 15 fandoms I'm involved with.
• You shall guess my favorite character/person and my favorite pairing/One True Pairing.
• I shall update the list by:
  • putting the fandom with correctly guessed characters in bold
  • putting the fandom with correctly guessed pairings in italics

( See the list here. )
