[photostory] Duty & Distance

Djedefra: (You know, I feel you simply don't draw enough cats.)
Diderot: Would you quit breathing sardines all over my sketchbook? Honestly.

Bellamy: I wonder if Amandine and Arouet are having a good time on their trip.
Dart: (A tasty drink! Is it for me? Can I smell it?)

Diderot: I daresay they are. Amandine is an excellent traveling companion, and Arouet hasn't been to Paris since the French Revolution was on.
Bellamy: Man, that's gotta be weird for him. I wonder how he's taking it?

Diderot: ...More importantly, I wonder why you didn't talk to him before they left.
Bellamy: It's not like I didn't try to. I just... I didn't know what to say.

Bellamy: Seriously, how do you even do that? Right up and say, "Hey, you know, actually we're twins, our dad's the Lord of Time, and basically we're just screwed if we want a normal life"? Come on, Aramis.
Diderot: Well, not how I would put it, but it's a good deal better than telling him nothing at all.

Bellamy: I don't know about that. Right now, Arouet thinks he's normal. Well, as normal as a time-skipped aristocrat can be. He doesn't know about our parents, he doesn't know what he is. Hell, even I don't know what he is. We're different. Maybe he is normal. And maybe I'm just jealous.
Diderot: ...Bellamy.

Bellamy: You say it doesn't bother you, that you'll grow old and I won't. But it bothers me.
Diderot: I made my choice a long time ago, Bellamy. I wouldn't change it.
Djedefra: (...oops.)

Bellamy: Come on, you've never wished for a normal boyfriend? Or do you honestly want a half-insane, Torchwood-addicted, twelve-foot-tall Time Lord for a father-in-law?
Diderot: Honestly, I want you. Everything else is irrelevant. And I think maybe you should give your brother a little more credit. You chose love over power, why shouldn't he?
Bellamy: ...

Diderot: Although if your powers were any use in disciplining cats, that would be helpful, too.
Bellamy: Djedefra! What are you doing!
Djedefra: (What are you complaining about! The bottle's empty, right?)
Dart: (It is now, anyway.)

~END~

OMAKE

I love these two boys. <3

NOTES:
I got a tripod for my birthday! And challenged it by doing a full-blown photoshoot in the weird-lighty bedroom after dark! Seriously, even my carefully rigged lighting setup can't keep Bellamy from looking green and empty-eyed in some of these shots. All the same, it's much less blurring than usual.

This story is sort of a filler-in, since all the old stories are down and we don't have the new site up. I just missed my boys and wanted to give them a little love. Maybe next I'll do Amandine and Arouet in Paris!

	The pics all look great with the new tripod! And the boys are, as always, adorable. Yes, yes, you too, Djedefra, Dart. :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, I'm really pleased with the tripod. I know it's kinda cheapy and lightweight, but it's really good for hefting around the bedroom and things. Thanks for the visit yesterday! We had a great time. ^_^ (The dolls, too!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was great having you! :D Rose sez that she sent you and J invites to the IJ comm....and maybe the wiki? I forgot to ask. But yeah, if you have any issues with them, just let us know. :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eider 2009-08-17 12:20 pm UTC (link)
	I haven't actually seen any invites, either here on IJ or in my email. Am I looking in the wrong places? pokes internet tentatively Thanks for sharing! ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	white_aster 2009-08-17 01:05 pm UTC (link)
	Weird! IJ's got a record that Rose sent them, but it doesn't show any "pending invites".... Are your settings set so invites go to your inbox rather than your email or something? I THINK that I've resent the invitations. If they don't show up, the comm is cacodapx2 on IJ. You can go ahead and ask to join from the profile, and we'll let you in. :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I couldn't find an invite anywhere in my IJ details, nor in my email. Then, when I attempted to join the comm from the profile, I got this:
[Error: LJ::Event::CommuinityJoinRequest passed bogus u object: cacodapx2 @ earthquake.insanewebhosting.com]

Weirdness!

Next, I thought I would watch the comm first, THEN try to join it. That time, I think it may have sent a request to you as mods. I haven't a clue what's going on, there. But maybe that finally did it!

	...omg IJ whut.... -_- URM. OK. ohwait! Ok, you're listed on the comm profile now as a member who has posting access! ...\o/? No idea what combination of things actually made it work, but...soooooyeah, you should be good to go! :D Let me know if you still can't see things there.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yaaay I'm in! I can see stuff! __ ahaha, though I probably shouldn't delve too deeply at work. Thank you~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

:D Well, there's not reams and reams of stuff there. A lot of it is ficbits, with only a few real, honest-to-gord fics.

When you get time, though, I'd say good starting points would be the 1922 Job Offer bits (worksafe) for Samuel, Oscar, and Clara (the Believer faction). For the Mutts, Mendelsohn (also worksafe) was the first thing I think I wrote introducing Caleb and Silas. And the twins and Gene (the mostly-unaffiliateds) show their stuff in Week's End (at the bottom in the "not time-specific" section, and NOT worksafe) and twins and CALEB are in Reunion (also not worksafe), though that is considerably further in the timeline.

There's not much written for the other major faction, the Union, or the Company which ostensibly runs everything. >_>

I am not at all excited about having other people see these guys why no, why do you ask? ._.

	Believe it or not! :O I should just make time for doll shoots, really. :p (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Awww, these two. Man, it's been years (I remember when bellamoo arrived!) and their little doll chemistry is still off the charts~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alorian 2009-08-16 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	Bellamoo arrived FOUR YEARS AGO, you know? O_O I can't believe we've had them so long. ahahah, doll chemistry! smells like resin. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's always a delight to find photostories of your gang posted! These guys are so sweet with each other - they make me go all gwishy inside! You are one of the main reasons I became a resin fan and collector. Now I have twenty of the buggers with two more ordered! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alorian 2009-08-16 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	ahaha, so should I say, "I'm sorry" or "You're welcome"? LOL We did a count up yesterday and realized we have 15 dolls and we're in the process of getting Minimees of Phoenix and Edgeworth so that's going to be /two/ more and argh. Not to mention the tender elf sha head we have in a drawer. O_o I haven't painted it for fear it'll turn into someone who wants a body. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Heeeee! And Djedefra steals the show, again, just like any good cat. ^___^ Yay, Bellamy & Diderot storyline! I <3 these boys. eeeee. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alorian 2009-08-16 03:18 pm UTC (link)
	I would be screwed if I couldn't write Djedefra in these things. He cleans up the scenes so well. :D I loved bringing them down for a visit! We should do that more often, for sure! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darthneko 2009-08-16 03:32 pm UTC (link)
	We totally should! I have a bajillion photos pulled off my card - need to size them to something reasonable and then upload them, because your boys look SUPER cute. <3 (Reply to this) (Parent)

Oh my! I seem to remember coming across Diderot & Bellamy via Den of Angels...omg...has it been YEARS ago, now? At any rate, the work that went into sets and props was quite enchanting and I adored their delightful story.

Anyway, while linkhopping around I somehow ended up here a few months ago and wistfully wondered how their story was going (seeing as how pictures were down and there didn't seem to be anything new on them...), and BAM, a new photostory pops up when I wander back today: wistful wish fulfilled.

I'm now wistfully wishing that you will, indeed, shoot a photostory about Amandine & Arouet, and also Janus & Nicodemus...and also more Highwater & Holtsclaw.

Wow! Thanks so much for commenting! I'm glad I had a recent photostory up! And yes, we did most of the stories in 2005 so that's been four years. Phew

We pulled the old site to revamp it, but we never seem to have the time to settle down and /do/ it, there are hundreds of pictures and it's such a huge task. But now that we have the whole Highwater and Holtsclaw family maybe we can continue their story, too! It takes a while with them, though, because I like to do it in the comic-book style.

Thanks again for dropping by! I don't post much on DoA anymore because the posting rules are kind of restrictive and it's just gotten too crowded. But I hope to have more things up here, and also on the site too before too much longer.
