"And While the Queen Went on Strangling..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Because I am getting all of absolutely nowhere with my story, and because I am reaching the point of exploding with frustration, here are iconses. They are not particularly good iconses, but they are made from puzzles and have frogs. They are either bases or icons.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33.

And two bonus icons, of neanderthal Hamlet:
34. 35.

I am extremely tempted to resume translating Hamlet into Latin and making LATIN! HAMLET! ICONS!. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no market for Latin Hamlet.

Now I shall go sulk, cry, and throw a small tantrum. Rarr. My agenda for to-day is useless; my only hope is that it will be therapeutic. I am also deleting lots of things that I will probably want later. SO THERE, UNIVERSE. I'M CUTTING OFF MY NOSE TO SPITE MY FATE. HA HA! ... *curls up inna ball*

*groans and collapses upon, possible squashing to death* ...Has someone been calling them venomous? A pox.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*oh, no! not my frogs! ;____;* Nope, but poison/venom confusion annoys me. Like with snakes.

also, because I babbled about them in your letter, you may remember... the cutest thing ever:

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*if it were you instead of the frogs, would that be better?* Venom is when it comes from them biting you, right? And poison is secreted from the skin. ...Actually, I have no idea.

Eeeeeeeeeeeee. Yes, yes, they are. ^____^

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*...oddly enough, yes* Yes. ^____^ Poison is ingested or absorbed through the skin. Venom is injected.

Aren't they wonderful? They have sticky feet.

(Arthur commented in the glitter thread.)

*...how about I just squash some pillows instead?* Okay! Yay, I win! I totally just made a logical guess and got the right answer. Go me!

Eeeeeee. I want. ^__________________________^

(Okay...! Will answer to-morrow. Am going to go be unconscious now. ADIEU ADIEU REMEMBER ME.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*...pillows are good! do that* You do win! *applauds*

Me toooooo. Let's raise red-eyed tree frogs, okay?

(Okay! Goodnight, old mole!)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*okay! squashed!* *shines, bows--*

Okay! Can we name them all after Hamlet characters?

(Good evening. My nose is back to the Don John/Hero grindstone. >_>)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*yay!* *--encore?*

Do you even have to ask? The dorkiest one will be Hamlet.

(Hallo.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*^___^!* *--encore! bows! shines! poses!*

Of course. ^____________^ He will be the one who does things like walking upside down on the ceiling.

(I AM DONE. Now I just need Mum to get home so she can beta it.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*-standing ovation?*

Naturally.

(YAY!)

... did you know there's a Denmark, KS?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*squees! very unactorlylike*

Eheee.

(I think it may actually have turned out okay. They get married in the end, which was disgustingly hard to accomplish; and the whole thing is obscenely long, but...)

...I want to move there.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*doesn't judge! :D throws flowers*

(XD Yay...! As they should.)

...There's only 21 people there. It's a hamlet.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*gathers them all up greedily*

(I know, they should! The hardest part is the tenses and narration, however. It's partly in second-person present and partly in third-person present. I may have to change it entirely to third-person. I'm still not sure.)

...Waen is going to college in Kansas! We could go visit her some time!

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*throws more!*

(Second person present? o______O)

... Where is she going? :D Let's! (I am trying to give Arthur a hometown. XD)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*collects them and takes them to a SEKRIT LAIR!*

(...Yes. It works! It does work! But in places, which is why I'm not sure whether I'll have to drop it. But--here, I'll show you. Eh. You know, although you have never been there before, that the prison is built upon your father's lands. One day (you know you are quite forgotten) you walk out to it on bare feet, your white dress yellowish with the dust. The grasshoppers follow you the whole way, greenish and yellowish and startling out of your way when you didn't even see them. When you reach the prison, you only stand for a while looking at it. Inside this small brick building is the man who took away--something (you weren't sorry to lose) you should have been honoured by. <---Like that.)

MacPherson college. I know nothing else. Bwee! (Ooohhhh. I can't help you there. XD)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*ohnoes! sits woefully in the theater until they turn the lights out*

(...I really don't like second person, so I am not one to ask.)

Why Kansas? (I am think I am going with Rose Hill, KS. High median income, very whitebread, founded by Quakers. 15 minutes from Wichita, which is probably where Daddy Pape worked as a banker. ...don't ask.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*sneaks out to you with a bouquet*

(...Okay. Then I'll change it, since it's for you. ^_^)

Because MacPherson, however one spells it, is a antique automobile restoration college, and that's what she's going into. (...WIN. ^_^)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*squeals!*

(You don't have to. XD Just-- irrational thing.)

McPherson, apparently. But it's in Kansas. ...Sorry, Arthur. (Plus the little town logo has a red rose through the o. I think that's cute.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

My lady. *bow*

(I need to! XD It's a story for you, it can't have something you hate in it.)

...Yes, well. It had to be somewhere. (XD Awww.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

^____^ For me?

(It could--)

...Uh huh. (:D)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

But of course--!

(...Yes, well, it better not be able. I'm halfway through changing over one-thousand yous and yours into hers and shes, and I will probably EAT YOUR BRAINS if you tell me to change them back.)

XD I DON'T KNOW, OKAY? (<3 Arthur wins.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Eeeee.

(...Don't eat my brains. ;______;)

ALL RIGHT. (He says '^_______^ Thank you.' Also, I don't need to name his siblings. I am pathetic.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^______^ Madam, will you come with me to dinner.

(Well, then. Tell me how awesome I am for changing all these yous into hers.)

(*floves him* ...XD So what are their names?)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I most certainly will. :D

(You are very awesome! Very, very awesome.)

(...Kathleen [Kate?] and Jonathan? XD)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

We shall have food from the land of the Spicy Everything...!

(There! Done! Okay. Now it still needs to be beta'd, but it's in the right voice. XD)

(Kathleen, Arthur, and Jonathan? Yep. Sounds good. ^__^)
