Is there anything you're not good at Jules?! Prudence looks just like an indian girl that was in my year at school, and so far they seem to have the same personality.
I love your new background and your drawings. Everything is just so pretty. Marlene's new cut really is cute and Shelley also looks adorable as do Prudence.
By the way, I think people misunderstanded my pevious comment, I meant that Sirius and Lily could go out together more for fan than for romance. And yes I am a James/Lily shipper, it's just that jealous James is always interesting.
I love your pictures and your writing I wish I could do either as well as you do both! On another note I just watched an episode of How I Met Your Mother from season 2 called Brunch and it is structured exactly like chapter 30 which I got excited about :-) Kristin
I have to say though, ever since chapter 30, I kind of thought Shelley was suppose to look like snooky ..or snookie, whatever her name is. But short and curvy.
i feel like i've forgotten so many key points to TLAT, so i think i'm going to re-read it.
and also, Prudence looks so sweet. i would love to be her friend if it weren't for the fact that she ~stole Adam away~ from Marlene. they were obvs meant to be.
Not really on topic but as soon as I read 11:36, I remembered hearing "I'm a chav!" from somewhere but couldn't remember where. I'm not fimilar with the term at all but it kept echoing in my head "I'm a chav!...I'm a chav!" and it drove me crazy for about 10 minutes until FINALLY I saw Rose's face in my head. Doctor Who! Never understood that line until this moment....laughed about a year too late:)
...I thought it necessary to share that...for some reason...
@11 36- LOL. Brilliant. Just absolutely brilliant. :) Having read through a few of these comments and seeing the type of programs people are referencing, I'm wondering if anybody has watched a program called 'Coupling'? (this would mainly be relevant to Brits) And for those of you who haven't, which is probably most, please give at least the first couple of episodes a watch, you won't regret it. You will all fall in love with Jeff...
I'm having a really hard time picturing Shelly in this chapter. She was pretty easy before as a shy, mousy type of girl. The collage picture was really close to the visual in my head, but now... (shrug.) I totally envision the Farrah Fawcett flip.
Prudence is a lot easier. It's frightening how much her personality is like my college roommate. I am quite terrified how close it is. Her image is cemented in my head, but with a slightly darker skin tone for the Indian heritage.
I think Prudence is adorable, but kind of in a devious way. I don't think all her sweetness is what it appears to be on the surface. After all, the girl is in Ravenclaw for a reason. What better means of protecting your interests with a than to make friends with your biggest competition? I think she wants to keep Marlene close.
A snooki is a chav? Lol, really? I don't know why I had it in my head, but I thought the chav style was very much a british thing, 'cos only us brits could be so... bad at fashion. But lol, good to know we're not the only ones :p
But, err... I don't actually understand 7:49 either... Shelley looks chavvy? Where did you get that from? I'm quite confused.
@ 2:56: Yes! Snooki is a disgusting and revolting person who somehow made it famous, and for some reason, people are interested in her. EXACTLY LIKE JORDAN. Although, IMO, not quite as gross as Jordan.
And "Snooki" isn't a thing, or a style- it's a person (although by this point, and especially after Halloween, I bet there's an argument of whether she is a style now).
"Snooki" is basically just a very very tan, short and curvy person who gets drunk and has sex a lot.
I think 7:49 was just saying that the new Shelley- (who is short, curvy, tan, and being rather tartish at the moment) is similar to snooki seeing as she's basically all of those things too.
Haha, but I think it's crazy that so many people are discussing this right now.
On a different note, I didn't realize that Marlene had cut her hair THAT short, but I think it's FANTASTIC :)!
Kayla - the only reason I (and others) don't know who Snooki is is cos we're not American. But as 2:56 and 3:01 pointed out, we have a few people who can pass as her British equivalent :P
No, Shelley doesn't look chavvy but it would be hilarious if shelley looked and acted like Lauren Cooper on the train.
Izzit...goin' out with James Potter... Can ask you a question? Are you slag? But are you a slag tho? You goin' out James Potter right? And you knew I, your mate, loved him right? So are you slag then? Are you a whore, mate? Do you get paid for sex? Does James pay you then? Are you giving handjobs for homework again? So you're just a slag then? Am I bovvered? But am I bovvered tho? Look at my face. Does my face look bovvered? Face, look, face, bovvered, slag, face, look, handjobs for homework, face, look. I aint bovvered!
This may make me kind of lame, but for those of you who watch HGTV, I think that Marlene looks like Candice Olsen. She hosts the Divine Design show. Actually, Candice Olsen looks like an older version of Marlene.
I mean, does anyone else see it? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D4jU-JcBSt0/S8H76Z9kmKI/AAAAAAAAAno/5bf1MdYURnY/s400/candice-olson.jpg
LOL I love all the chav talk. The only reason I am familiar with the word is because everyone kept calling a character in Misfits a chav and she took great offense. Then I googled and informed myself.
And, yeah I shipped Nathan/Kelly also, and I was really disappointed when nothing happened. They made sooo much more sense than Simon/Alesha or Curtis/Alesha. I'm still hoping something might happen there, though. Even with that weird pregnant chick.
The only female character we don't have a drawing of is Lily... any plans with that? And what of the male characters?
Nathan/Kelly FTW, baby. I'm still shipping them, too. BUT I'm glad they didn't get together, cos then he wouldn't have gotten with the pregnant girl and the bit with the afterbirth wouldn't have happened - and that's been my favourite bit of the entire two series =D
So I've got a question: Do you wanna have a slumber party in my basement? Oh wait, no, that's not my question (damn you k-e-dollarsign-ha and your catchy songs that infect my brain...)
Anyway, my ACTUAL question: When did all of you discover LAT? As in, how many chapters were up? Any of you been here since the prologue/ch. 1?
I, unfortunately, only found it this past June, when it was already up to Ch. 22 (depressing time to catch up, really, b/c everyone was fighting.... ;)) And I only started b/c someone who reviewed one of my stories recommended it--and now my life is just that much better! Hmm, yes, I really should find that person again and thank them properly....
I just went through her reviews to see when I first started because I had no clue. It's been over a year now!!! January 30, 2010 was when I first reviewed and said I had started reading it that morning and loved it. Little did I know how much my obsession would grow...
7:57- I almost forgot about the prego chick! It's not going to last....
8:24- that part grossed me out the first time I watched it but then I found it sort of hilarious.
Principal Figgins, I mean Kelsey: lol at the Ke- dollar sign- ha reference. I want to hate her songs but they are so damn catchy. Especially Tik and also Tok.
I started reading when there were 16 chapters up. I remember it was one year ago because I was neglecting my American poetry hw to read.
So I know this is random-- but I just read a new fanfic and it was alright, and then all of a sudden there was a scene where Lily and James started to have sex in the middle of class randomly under the invisibility cloak while class was going on! WTF! Does anyone else think this is weird and kind of unrealistic/pervish? and trust me, i x'ed out that bitch so fast.
Chapter 25. I didn't even realize I was getting myself into a 300k+ epic but after chapter 3, I was hooked. I was in Chicago for a wedding that weekend and it made the 11 hour drive home pass by in a flash. Gotta love Iphones:)
I'm sorry for posting this twice. I realized this would have been a more appropriate post to comment on:
I LOVE your drawings, I think they're so beautiful and really help me picture the characters in my head.
However, I think they all have the same face - same jaw, same mouth, same eyes. And they pretty much all have the same body type - slim (which I find a little unbelievable that 8 different girls all look like that). Maybe a little variety? Also, what did Shelley look like in 6th year? I'm assuming drastically different. I think that would be a good one to sketch. It would also be nice to see a drawing of a girl who WASN'T slender and pretty.
I feel like the new Shelly should be in head-to-toe leopard print. I feel like it'd go well with her big hair and predatory ways.
ReplyDeleteYes! :) I'm so pumped for these! Also, LOVE the new background! :)
ReplyDelete-Katie
I love the new background too! So cute. Flowers!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the pic of PBD. I'm finding her very cute also... so much so that I don't really want her to get hurt in the Marlene/Adam thing... :(
Great pictures! Love the background too.
ReplyDeletehahaha the background is very summer-y. cute!
ReplyDeleteprudence is adorable. shelley is cuter than i imagined. i thought she'd be more voluptuous haha. and awww marlene!!
are you going to draw the others as well?
Is there anything you're not good at Jules?!
ReplyDeletePrudence looks just like an indian girl that was in my year at school, and so far they seem to have the same personality.
i'd been wondering about your handwriting forever, jules. handwriting always says a lot about a writer.
ReplyDeletei also really like your prudence.
ps-on my 2nd read of the chapter. official review will hopefully do justice to the awesomeness of the chapter.
I love your Marlene :) She looks so pretty & I love the short hair.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I agree with 5:24...I don't want prudence to get hurt =/ But Marlene/Adam are meant to be...hmm.
@Potato- What does handwriting say about a writer, exactly?
ReplyDeleteI love your new background and your drawings. Everything is just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteMarlene's new cut really is cute and Shelley also looks adorable as do Prudence.
By the way, I think people misunderstanded my pevious comment, I meant that Sirius and Lily could go out together more for fan than for romance. And yes I am a James/Lily shipper, it's just that jealous James is always interesting.
ReplyDeleteIs that pre-chapter 30 Shelley or Shelley as we see her in ch 30?
ReplyDeleteI adore these. It makes me want to draw them too. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures and your writing I wish I could do either as well as you do both! On another note I just watched an episode of How I Met Your Mother from season 2 called Brunch and it is structured exactly like chapter 30 which I got excited about :-)
ReplyDeleteKristin
You are too fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI have to say though, ever since chapter 30, I kind of thought Shelley was suppose to look like snooky ..or snookie, whatever her name is. But short and curvy.
lol @ snookie!Shelley. All I can think now is "Shelley wants schmushmush!"(...south park anyone?)
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the british cultural equivalent would be.
Justine
i feel like i've forgotten so many key points to TLAT, so i think i'm going to re-read it.
ReplyDeleteand also, Prudence looks so sweet. i would love to be her friend if it weren't for the fact that she ~stole Adam away~ from Marlene.
they were obvs meant to be.
Chapter 30 and beyond Shelley.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Snooki Shelley? I died.
ReplyDeletePBD is really cute. Damn her.
And I love the Marlene drawing! I'm digging the large earrings.
@6:33
ReplyDeletein this case:
the Ms - not cynicism
the As and curvy caps - pride
overall inconsistent writing - malleability
LOL @not cynicism.
ReplyDeletepeople who loop their letters tend to not be cynical...
ReplyDelete-_____-
to anyone thinking *coughbscough*, i only had 10 words to go on.
am i the only one who doesn't find Prudence cute? i find her sickly sweet and to honest i kind of want to hit her a little bit. I mean um..yeah.
ReplyDelete@potato,
ReplyDeletenot cynicism still = funny.
But it's chill. We were studying communication in genders in class today and I was like seventy percent male in terms of how I communicate. *shrug*
What is 'snooki'? This is the first time I'm hearing that word... I feel incredibly stupid for asking :( English is not my first language.
ReplyDeleteSnooki
ReplyDeleteIt's very famous. It's a Jersey thing.
LMAO @Kimmie
ReplyDeleteah... a Snooki in England is called a chav
ReplyDeleteNot really on topic but as soon as I read 11:36, I remembered hearing "I'm a chav!" from somewhere but couldn't remember where. I'm not fimilar with the term at all but it kept echoing in my head "I'm a chav!...I'm a chav!" and it drove me crazy for about 10 minutes until FINALLY I saw Rose's face in my head. Doctor Who! Never understood that line until this moment....laughed about a year too late:)
ReplyDelete...I thought it necessary to share that...for some reason...
@Kimmie LOL forever.
ReplyDelete@11 36- LOL. Brilliant. Just absolutely brilliant. :)
ReplyDeleteHaving read through a few of these comments and seeing the type of programs people are referencing, I'm wondering if anybody has watched a program called 'Coupling'? (this would mainly be relevant to Brits) And for those of you who haven't, which is probably most, please give at least the first couple of episodes a watch, you won't regret it. You will all fall in love with Jeff...
I'm having a really hard time picturing Shelly in this chapter. She was pretty easy before as a shy, mousy type of girl. The collage picture was really close to the visual in my head, but now... (shrug.) I totally envision the Farrah Fawcett flip.
ReplyDeletePrudence is a lot easier. It's frightening how much her personality is like my college roommate. I am quite terrified how close it is. Her image is cemented in my head, but with a slightly darker skin tone for the Indian heritage.

ReplyDeleteBut, err... I don't actually understand 7:49 either... Shelley looks chavvy? Where did you get that from? I'm quite confused.
Ok, I had to look up "chav" with google to know what any one was talking about, and I agree, that doesn't seem like a good fit for what's going on.
ReplyDeleteMaybe something like this?
I just googled snookie and images of someone called Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was all that came up. Is that who the comments way above mean?
ReplyDeleteFrom what I can gather, this Snooki seems to be the american equivalent of Jordan...?
@ 2:56: Yes! Snooki is a disgusting and revolting person who somehow made it famous, and for some reason, people are interested in her. EXACTLY LIKE JORDAN. Although, IMO, not quite as gross as Jordan.
ReplyDeleteyeeeeah, America's "Snooki" isn't a chav.
ReplyDeleteAnd "Snooki" isn't a thing, or a style- it's a person (although by this point, and especially after Halloween, I bet there's an argument of whether she is a style now).

On a different note, I didn't realize that Marlene had cut her hair THAT short, but I think it's FANTASTIC :)!
It makes me happy there are people in the world who don't know why Snooki is. Gives me hope for the future.
ReplyDelete@ 3:20 - Yeah, I think 2:56 and 3:01 cleared that up already...
ReplyDeleteKayla - the only reason I (and others) don't know who Snooki is is cos we're not American. But as 2:56 and 3:01 pointed out, we have a few people who can pass as her British equivalent :P
ReplyDeleteI'm not American and i know who she is sadly :(
ReplyDeleteNo, Shelley doesn't look chavvy but it would be hilarious if shelley looked and acted like Lauren Cooper on the train.

Lol Candice Olsen used to be my mom's fav. That woman is TALL.
ReplyDeleteAnd OMG 454, that is the most epic thing ever. I think if Shelley had done that, everyone would be Team Shelley. So epic. I want to frame that.
LOL I love all the chav talk. The only reason I am familiar with the word is because everyone kept calling a character in Misfits a chav and she took great offense. Then I googled and informed myself.
ReplyDeleteLOL bree, i shipped nathan/kelly.
ReplyDeletefav kelly line: i finally meet a nice guy, and he's a fucking monkey.
OOOh gosh.
ReplyDeleteim rewatching AVPS, and Sirius and Harry just did their "La la la la la" duet.
IN TEARS
I'M GOING TO GO EAT NUTELLA OUT OF THE JAR WITH MY FACE AND KEEP TELLING MYSELF THAT THEY'RE ALL JUST FUCKING CHARACTERS.
Nutella is always the answer.
ReplyDeletechubbypotato, I still ship Nathan/Kelly. LOL, Kelly became the real monkeyslut.
ReplyDeleteGod. Is it November yet?
LOL at 4:54 - that made me laugh SO HARD.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yeah I shipped Nathan/Kelly also, and I was really disappointed when nothing happened. They made sooo much more sense than Simon/Alesha or Curtis/Alesha. I'm still hoping something might happen there, though. Even with that weird pregnant chick.

Hmm, yes, I really should find that person again and thank them properly....
Three chapters were up when I found it :')
ReplyDeleteI kind of wish I found it later on so that I wasn't too in suspense.
I just went through her reviews to see when I first started because I had no clue. It's been over a year now!!! January 30, 2010 was when I first reviewed and said I had started reading it that morning and loved it. Little did I know how much my obsession would grow...

and trust me, i x'ed out that bitch so fast.
-Lauren
@Lauren- ...What? While class was going on? WTF story is this?! Just... wow.
ReplyDelete@1:29 Yeeaahh, that's what i'm sayingg! I didn't check the rating but i didn't think it was going to be M++++ !
ReplyDeletelol
-Lauren
@Lauren I think the author has some sort of unrealised fantasy.
ReplyDeleteI started reading LAT when it was 27 chapters long.
This kinda feels like an AA meeting :)
ReplyDeleteIs one of you on here -the smell of autumn- on ffnet? I looked back at my reviews, and that's who recommended LAT to me....THANK YOU!!!!
ReplyDeleteChapter 25. I didn't even realize I was getting myself into a 300k+ epic but after chapter 3, I was hooked. I was in Chicago for a wedding that weekend and it made the 11 hour drive home pass by in a flash. Gotta love Iphones:)
ReplyDeleteJustine
I started to read at chapter 12 :)
ReplyDeleteAND IT HAS BEEN A BLAST
