Loiter, loll, and lollop

I'm Emily, a trainee illustrator at Edinburgh Art College (eca). 'Erarlumo' is Esperanto, meaning 'will-o'-the-wisp' - just another fancy nom de plume I guess. I like sappy songs, martial arts and drawing all night through. I'm a daydreaming animal-lover also.

Back in Japan, my cat Bobby is sick with leukemia. He looks so lonely sleeping in the tub, he usually doesn’t do that and I miss him, but I hope he recovers a little by the time we come home next month. He is getting older without me realising, since I only see him once a year now…

Fan art of an online Japanese novel. The silver wolf Nan huddling together with the newborn protagonist, Hito. I liked that the writer used at least two languages in the fantasy world, it made the story seem a whole lot more tangible and deep. Drawn with pen and coloured with Photoshop.

Original characters for (planned) comic and another doodle for characters from… (get rid of the %20 if the address doesn’t work)

p.s. the second boy is the same character as the one that appears on the banner above. Plus these are actually a few months old but I just remembered that I could post them so I’m being lazy.
Edit: Why so blurry pictures? D:

MIB 3

Griffin. Griffin is adorable. His appearance each time set me off on an inward fangirl moment because he is the best character in this movie, I just love him but there are no photos of this character around yet! :(
The film was actually really fun, I was invited by a friend today to go see it and I’d seen the first one on TV a few nights ago. I liked the ‘OK’ joke. lol. A teary moment for the end too.

Yaaas top score two days in a row >v<

Family game of Mahjong yesterday and today, I won enough times to get the high score between the four of us. Although the ‘lucky’ seven haunted me every turn: every time I needed a seven hai (piece), it would never ever come. But eventually…yes! I was right to throw away the accursed qi pai (the piece with the number seven), I got the other number to come in and I felt like there was indeed a curse upon the number seven while I was playing. o.O

Q&A

impalallama asked: Oh shush. Your writing skills seem more than satisfactory to me after having spoken with you. I'm sure you'd do just fine c: Like I said earlier, I'd definitely read this crossover if you're willing to write it, and you're welcome for whatever ideas I've inspired in you. I'm actually excited now, x3

Haha thanks for making me smile, I’ll practice more on my writing in the meantime. I’m stranded on TV Tropes. Oh help. …I should note I used to be a notorious procrastinator so I don’t want to get you too fired up before I even have a proper plot, but nonetheless I’m scribbling away. Toss me some pictures, videos or writings of any paranormal stuff if you have good examples and I will take each into account as I make the crossover ;)

Q&A

impalallama asked: I have never gone out of my way to watch anything that Colin Ford was in, but I agree that he is a very good actor. I also agree with the generalized institution idea and that it's a little over-used, but a crossover with Push might just be something amazing if you flesh out the plot just right. I'd definitely read it c:

No pressure there then. :D A lot of the Push  characters seem a little too powerful to match the world of The Listener  so the overall phlebotinum may well be changed slightly, but good to know I may already have a supporter ^^ Although I’m not sure if I can do a good fanfiction since I’m not confident about my written skill, I’ll definitely come up with some illustrations. Maybe both, if I have too much time on my hands – which I usually do, during school term no less :P 

Again about the institution, there’s a tendency to go for Government conspiracy in these sci-fi stories but it would be interesting to figure out what Toby and the others could go against if it was something else. A whole arc would be cool wouldn’t it? I could have a chat with some of my writing buddies to see what they think. Thanks for ideas so far ;)

Q&A

impalallama asked: I really liked the movie, Push. And Colin Ford was the first thing I commented on while watching it. A crossover with The Listener would be pretty neat, and you could use the experiments idea nicely in some sort of connection with Toby's past.

Yeah, since so many fanfictions have a very clichéd sterilised white-walled ‘institution’ as the nemesis’s hideout, it would be interesting to see more of a twist… Incidentally, I may re-watch said movie. Push  was the first time I noted Ford’s popularity, since before then I kind of took his Supernatural  appearances for granted whenever there was a flashback. After that when small Sammy appeared I got more and more excited ‘cause his acting is great ^^

Man, we should just start using the comment system since we’re having a conversation now ;) How about that? Reply to this below and we can keep track of it easier, yeah?

Q&A

impalallama asked: It's quite alright xD And I'd love to see what you come up with. Someone would probably end up hunting poor Toby down because of his abilities or something; like what happened to Sam with Gordon. x3

Same thoughts here, his naïveté would get him enemies of the wrong kind even if he was trying to do good. 

What do you think about the Push  x Listener crossover idea I commented on the ask before? The main character in Push  (a movie with Chris Evans & Dakota Fanning) was a telekinesis psychic but an interesting connection with SPN being that the younger version of the protagonist was played by Colin Ford – young Sam, anybody? :D

Comments

Q&A

impalallama asked: Hah hah. Toby would make a badass SPN hunter, wouldn't he? Everyone would probably be scared of him because he can read minds x3 But I was talking about Left 4 Dead hunters xD

Oh no, I was worried you might be talking about something else xD Thanks for answering anyway, I might try the other Hunter (SPN) idea for my fan art then. His telepathy would totally kick ass but I don’t picture him actually killing monsters… He would probably be in a slightly different line of work to the Winchester boys. ;)

Newfound series The Listener got me hooked on parapsychology again.

I’ve gotten through season 1 and it is amazing ♥ It hits all of my interests in parapsychology drama, and I absolutely fell in love with the characters Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) and his sidekick Oz (Ennis Esmer), as well as most others around him excluding Charlie to begin with (I got to like her enough later) - I could never trust that character and I internally disagreed furiously when Toby confided his secret with her. I much prefer Michelle from season 2, she has that amazing patience and wit which is far more interesting to watch as the story progresses. [Edit: Well… Is it fair to say ‘regresses’?]

I heard somewhere that the writers had changed for season 2 but I’m not sure if that was credible. Although when I started watching it I was disappointed at how easily they ditched the first season’s cliffhanger. They completely hijacked the characters and shifted the story’s focus. Not to say that I hated that season, on the contrary I did enjoy it but I was desperate to discover more about Toby’s past and his mother, and most of all, where was Ray? I missed him so much. There’s still something shady about him too which added tension but from now on it seems there won’t be much concerning Toby’s past.
I’m still surprised how unknown this series is considering how well-fledged the plot and characters were, not to mention the expenses the show apparently cost in its making. But really, if there is no follow-up to the Maya storyline in the third season I’m not sure. I’ll continue watching seeing as it’s definitely worth my time and the fact that I’ve long since given up on Supernatural will steer me towards it even if my favourite young Toby will not appear :( I won’t go into that SPN thing too much, but basically I was on board until the sixth season came about. I love the series before all that. I’m pretty picky about fandoms…

mwahaha

As usual, I am contemplating fan art. Maybe a young Toby with those gorgeous blue eyes? If you have suggestions give me a comment.

This morning I went to a friend&#8217;s wedding! I was so happy for them since I knew them both from TKD – as you would see from the picture of them being in wedding get-up while posing like martial artists, kind of a joke. I gave it to them framed, and it was an interesting feeling having your own drawing framed…Note: I did this in a rush about 30 minutes before we had to leave&#8230;!
