So, during one of the instances of race!fail over the past year and a half, I had a thought that I never posted about and a recent picspam reminded me of.
During the conversations about writers using trite (and usually edible) descriptors for CoC, I remember thinking that part of the problem (at least in my case) is that the media is so white-dominated that authors don't spend enough time just looking at people of different ethnicities.
So I thought it would be a great idea to do a comment spam full of images of people of color. I'll start us off with Adam Moore (I discovered this basball player via multibeautiful, which is a dreamwidth community all about images of non-caucasian beauties).

...and before you ask, no, for the majority of these, I DON'T know who the artist is. Sorry.
[ETA: also, I'm sorry for the fucked up coding. Since there is only two pics outside of the FREAKING SIX lj-cuts, I think it's acceptable to leave them out. Especially since neither of them is NSFW.]

Okay, so you know the show The Dresden Files? And how it was Made Of Fail from the opening scene when Harry was having casual sex with a random waitress? And then to add insult to injury Murphy was brunette? (If you don't, count yourself lucky.)
Anyway, I have been trying to do fantasy casting since I was a couple books into my reread. I'm actually pretty damn stumped, so I'm throwing the question to you, dear flist:
Give me your ideal casting for The Dresden Files.
That said, I do know who should play two of the characters.

Okay, on the five things meme (I finally figured out my answers to your questions - I'll be posting them tomorrow), no one asked me about the 5 Times Black Star Surpassed God Naruto (because it's obvious? because no one cares?) However, I realized that I had great (or at least pictorial answers to that question. Since it's my birthday (and I can do what I want do, do what I want to) I'm going to tell you

gacked from half my flist:
1) Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.
2) NO CAPTIONS!!! It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.
3) They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no googling or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past. They must be something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.
4) You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to. You can make them as mysterious as you like. Or you can explain them away as much as you like.

I found this via bellzooks and it's possibly the most hilarious thing ever:
~~~
Also, in completely different tone, Solid & Etc has the prettiest, hottest Hellsing art ever. Examples:
( Sir Hellsing & The Family Pet )
It's not all Integra and Alucard (in fact, the author has a nice variety) but the Alucard x Integra ones were my favorites.
~~~
Now, some fantastic Avatar and Naruto art:
Strip Pai Sho
He wears Calvin Klein by ~byShamora on deviantART
Mmmm, hairpulling.
Also, the full version of my icon:
Tonight... by ~byShamora on deviantART
I really feel like somewhere, there must be a fic that goes along with this.
Also, Itachi/Anko:
Dango Wars -- Art Trade by *ToonTwins on deviantART
No, I couldn't believe it either.

Also, I find it terribly sad that there is so little Iruka/Anko art that I find (bad) Kakashi/Sakura pics when I search for it.
And one more...
Sneaky Anko by ~kiasca on deviantART
It's the expressions on their faces that make this so very perfect...

KakaSaku for Izzy by ~Satalex on deviantART
And then go tothe_sun_is_up 's fantastic naruto art rec post here. This is something for everyone there. And I mean EVERYONE. Don't believe me? Okay, first, she managed to find Anko/Kuranai, then she found Deidara/Sasori so lol-tastic that I almost ship it, proceeded by some of the hottest Hinata/Neji ever, and then ending with Pain/Konan. (And there is about twenty other pairings in there besides.)

A have decided to share a picspam with you - the shippiest scene in recent memory, from Naruto episode 81:
First, Sakura is brooding in the rain, wondering if this is truly the most boring training sequence in Naruto (it is) or if she's being punished for something (only for being female) when suddenly the rain stops....( Sai x Sakura being adorable together )
And Sakura continues watching with this sort-smile on her face.
Oh, OTP.
I haven't gotten this good of fanservice since Zuko was rolling around on the floor with Katara and going off to commit bloody revenge at her side.
Here is a screencap meme I gacked from the_sun_is_up my version has none of the fancy graphics, because I totally fail at that. But there are pictures!
