booshslashhavenHello! I've been lurking around and commenting and reading here for a few months, but this is my first actual post. ~waves~ I'll be bringing you fanfic eventually (that's in progress), but in the meantime, I thought that I might as well wish you all a very Booshy Valentine's Day by introducing you to the two newest residents of the arctic tundra my backyard: snow!Howard and snow!Vince.
Lots of pics and their snowy story, beneath the cut!
Pairing: Howard/Vince
Rating: G
I happen to live in one of those areas of the US that was hit by the blizzards of a few weeks ago. Consequently, we had a lot of snow, and I wanted to sculpt something out of it. That eventually led me to realize that snowpeople are cool, but a snow!Howard and snow!Vince would be just about the best thing ever, because hey, who doesn't want slashy snowpeople to show off to the neighbors? :D
And so I started planning. And gathering supplies. And probably putting entirely too much thought into silly things like height differential, and the size of Howard's eyes, and how to sculpt Vince's nose.
My first couple of attempts failed, because it was so cold that the snow was too dry and refused to pack. But I refused to give up, and my patience was rewarded with a warm-up this weekend, which meant melting, which meant wet snow that would pack. I leapt at the opportunity, and this is the result, just in time for Valentine's Day:
Howard's got a bit of a tum, but Vince loves that about him. Howard's wardrobe was put together out of borrowed bits and pieces, and he's particularly proud of the Muscular Taupe Hawaiian shirt.
Vince's look comes entirely from my closet, although he's still pouting because I wouldn't let him borrow my Mirrorball Top. It's a bit hard to see, but he has a sculpted nose, and his eyes are blue behind his sunglasses.
And here they are together. Snow!Vince and Snow!Howard are joined at the hip, much like the real (fictional) Howard and Vince. :D
It's a little tough to see with their clothes there (darn clothes, getting in the way!), but they are holding little twiggy hands, too.
They'd like to wish you all a very Happy (and very Booshy) Valentine's Day!

Date: 2011-02-15 04:47 am (UTC)Thanks, and I'm glad you like them! Basically, this whole project grew around me wanting to make them hold hands. *g*

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!
(and their little twig hands!)

Date: 2011-02-15 04:22 am (UTC)Thank you thank you! Next year, if I can manage it, I'm going to add in Young Gregg, and they can all hold twig hands. :D

Date: 2011-02-15 05:36 am (UTC)That is the cutest thing EVER.
I'm so jealous! We only just got out of an epic heatwave, I thought I was going to die it was so hot. I want to build snowmen!
And hey, can't wait for your future fanfic!
no subject
Date: 2011-02-15 05:57 am (UTC)I could send you some snow, but it probably won't be in sculpting condition once it gets there. But I have to say that from this end, a heat wave sounds pretty blissful right now. The wind chills were well below zero last week!
And awww, thanks. I hope it entertains. The fic started as a small idea, and then it ate some radioactive plot bunny chow and is taking over my life. Ooh, and I owe you a proper review on What You Want, because I'm just catching up with it, and... I kind of want to marry it. It's awesome. <3

Date: 2011-02-16 06:02 pm (UTC)Yay, I'm so glad you like them! &hearts Vince has convinced Howard that it's okay to hold hands, in order to stay warm and conserve body heat. ;-)

Date: 2011-02-16 10:00 pm (UTC)The powerfully beige Hawaiian shirt was borrowed from my brother, who is so very Howardy and jazzy that it almost isn't funny. He was happy to offer it up for a good cause. ;-)

Date: 2011-02-16 10:16 pm (UTC)And there's always next year. I'd love to see little Howards and Vinces popping up everywhere. Next year, I think I'm going to try for a Young Gregg, too!
