Some awesome stuff...

...to brighten up your Sunday.

Mmmm, coffee. This one is going on my office door I think.






And also this.




And this too.



And maybe this one. ARE YOU SEEING A THEME YET?




This one reminds me of dreamersdare who is a true wonder to behold before her first coffee and smoke. :D





Books to go with all that coffee! I would like to read all these YA books with lesbian heroines. And these ones with bi protagonists. Or these with various queer folk, and also these ones with female Muslim protagonists ALL THESE BOOKS. In the hypothetical point in time when I have time. Sigh.


Speaking of reading. You should read this amazingly gorgeous short-fic-of-sorts: A GUIDE FOR YOUNG LADIES ENTERING THE SERVICE OF THE FAIRIES, by Rosamund Hodge
Here's a taster:

I.

This is the lie they will use to break you: no one else has ever loved this way before.


II.

Choose wisely which court you serve. Light or Dark, Summer or Winter, Seelie or Unseelie: they have many names, but the pith of the choice is this: a poisoned flower or a knife in the dark?

(The difference is less and more than you might think.)

Of course, this is only if you go to them for the granting of a wish: to save your father, sister, lover, dearest friend. If you go to get someone back from them, or—most foolish of all—because you fell in love with one of them, you will have no choice at all. You must go to the ones that chose you.


III.

Be kind to the creature that guards your door. Do not mock its broken, bleeding face.

It will never help you in return. But I assure you, someday you will be glad to know that you were kind to something once.

Finally, some pretties for you:

Check out these amazing eye make-ups! Rest here.




And these breath-taking manip gifs. More here.




And this stunning animal street art by Dzia




Some more awesome street art, these by JPS.

I, unfortunately, can't drink coffee anymore (nor have caffeine), but I SO remember and love those days when I could.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

My sympathies! Have you found a substitute drink to give you strength and comfort? I'm also super fond of spiced chai type of drinks.

[wpadmirer.livejournal.com]

Nope. I've got slightly reduced kidney function, arthritis, a propensity for developing cysts, and a heart arrhythmia, so it's water with occasional Gatorade. I lost the fucking genetic pool bad.

My Get shit Done Liquid?!? I LOL'd HARD!!
Painted on....PERFECT! So perfect :D

Thank you for this, I much needed a little pick me up :D ♥

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Those coffee pics will so get printed and tacked to my office walls :D

All the street arts were amazing, hope you followed the links to check out all of them!

You're welcome, I have a few more of these scheduled over the next week or so!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

I look forward to them because we all need these kinds of posts :D
I did follow the links and there are some truly amazing and awe inspiring pieces there. I wouldn't even know where to start!

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

Some awesome links there. And do you like coffee - sniggers

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I do like coffee! I like it even better when someone makes it for me... :D

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

Play your cards right and I might make you coffee this weekend :D

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Oh I got me a royal flush right here :D

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

I'll just bet you have.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Betting isn't as good as seeing though, isn't it?

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

I look forward to seeing your Royal Flush

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Queen of Hearts, baby :D

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

*clinks mugs with you*

A lovely collection of links! Have saved the fairy one to read later. Now confidently expecting to see you with cats on your eyelids - maybe not orange ones, but cats, anyway.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

The fairy story was gorgeous and terrible, as is suitable given the topic.

Ahaha if I could do make up like that I really would, I wish I had that kind of skill!

Javajavajavajavajava

My coffee is currently empty. 'Scuse me while I go and rectify that wrongness

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I had one with two shots this morning, it was pretty ace.

Enjoy yours!

[dreamersdare.livejournal.com]

Coffee with bonus coffee is always ace. True fact :D

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

This is the lie they will use to break you: no one else has ever loved this way before.

Wah, the reverb.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

One of the best opening lines I've seen.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

It's a very accurate summary of grooming.

Speaking of which I actually had some criminological questions to ask you!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh yes, didn't think of it that way but of course.

And heh, ask away. I may not know answers but i'll have a go!
