: Oops, my bad, I messed it up somewhere. I think it should work this time XD. Thank you very much for the HA comment. I love how your HA's wig contrasts nicely with the white background. I should change my HA for the winter, but I've just been too lazy haha XD

aw this is very nice of you. thank you! happy lumi! i love this time of year. all the festive decorations, clothing, movies, treats etc. always makes me so happy :D

this is very generous of you here's a photo my bunny who passed away a long time ago

and may I have

Model Harvest Moon Rubus

Thank you so so much for doing this. Happy Luminaire to you and may all your wishes come true.

No worries! I've got you taken care of now. :) You're welcome and thank you! I may have based my current HA off a scene in a book simply because I was burning a book-themed candle when I made it a couple days ago. XD

Happy Lumi to you as well!

Awww, what a cute bun! I'm sorry for your loss. Have a lovely Lumi!

You're very welcome! Thank you for the sweet sentiment and a very happy Luminaire to you.

thanks and you too and ya it was horrible I sometimes miss him even though I have a dog name Momo now

Aww, I don't blame you. He looks very sweet. I adore bunnies. I'm glad you've got your dog now though for company.

: Thank you so much. I love the picture on your profile too. It has been my favourite painting for years and it always remind me of a ballad that I loved years ago.

I left a present under your tree too. Thank you very much for this giveaway and happy Luminaire ^^

Aww, that was very sweet of you. Thank you! Miranda the Tempest is one of my very favorite paintings. I'm a big Waterhouse fan. Back when we had the old shops I had them and my galleries themed with all art, but I don't have those anymore so shrug Which ballad does it remind you of?

@ SomeDame: The ladies in his paintings are elegantly drawn, and they look ethereal too. I draw a little myself, sadly I don't know much about art to have an in-depth discussion. The ballad his painting reminds me of (and vice versa, the ballad does remind me of his painting too) is A Sailorman's Hymn by Kamelot. It's about a wife staying up all night and praying for her husband, who is a sailorman, to safely return home from his voyage. The song and the painting resonate with me so well I always think of one when I see the other :D

Oh yes, his female forms are extremely elegant and they tend to evoke a certain sentiment that I love. I'm jealous of your drawing ability! I cannot draw/paint/anything really, but I am working on a minor in art history, so I know a smidge about art (though def not an expert). I've never heard that song before, I'm going to look it up, sounds right up my alley!

Thanks for mentioning this to me! I would love to enter :) My WL is in my sig! My favorite part of Lumi is giving away items! This is my second Lumi, so last year I was getting my feet wet with the celebration. I'm looking forward to more upcoming Lumi seasons!

Thanks for the giveaway & Merry Luminaire! Something I really like about Lumi season is how much the Subeta community engages each other ^_^ This happens during all the site holidays but especially during Luminaire. I have a few friends I've made on the site that only post in the forums during Luminaire (and of course I met them during Luminaire!). I love to see everyone chatting it up and the forums in a bustle!

Lol I totally feel you on the finals. I have so many papers due. /sobs. Not even including the 50 short answer and 3 essay question test I'm getting from one teacher. I think she might hate us? XD

My WL is on my profile, and I'd really appreciate something! Would it be alright if I threw my friend's name into the mix? They haven't been on-site for a long time and don't have many friends here! I've given them what I can, but getting gifts from only one person sort of seems sad, and I'd love it if they could get more.

You're welcome! This is my 10th year on subeta, but I haven't been here for every Lumi. But, essentially I save a lot during the year to give away during this time because I think it is so fun. :)

You're very welcome and Merry Luminaire to you as well! I'm so with you, I love all the activity on Luminaire. One thing about subeta regulars is that they tend to be very giving and kind, and I love to see that ramped up to crazy levels during Lumi. :)

OMG your teacher is definitely evil. I'm fortunate this semster. One of my finals is online, open book, but her questions tend to be tricky. One is in class but it's multiple choice and he does a review ahead where he essentially gives all the answers. And one is supposed to be essays written in class, but I have permissions for accommodation from my school's DRC and I talked to my prof about it and she was like "Don't worry about it, I'll email you the test and you can take it at home, just try to do it in the time you would have in class" because I need to type instead of write by hand. And my other classes don't have finals, just papers. I do have to give a presentation on Monday though about my final paper in World Lit, we'll see how that goes.

By all means, please send me your friends name either here or in a profile comment so I can make sure they've got plenty of goodies under the tree. :) That's really sweet of you to think of them.

Lol finals are killer. I've got 30 pages worth of essays (only 12 left!!) two open book online tests (which like you said, can still be tricky! Makes you feel so dumb when you still get them wrong lol) and two tests this coming week from the same teacher who's doing the short answer+essay test. Boy, I wish I had permission to type instead of write. Essay tests are hard especially because my hand cramps up and gets all sweaty lol. What's your major, if you don't mind my asking?

(I'll send you my friend's UN right now!)

OOF! At least I don't think I have that much to write. Another 6 pages or so to go. I think your teacher might really be evil for giving you two tests and an exam in two weeks. Yikes. Yeah, I have permission for "adaptive technology" which means I can use my laptop in class even if the prof doesn't like them and I can use my laptop or phone to record lectures if I'm not able to type that day. I have a brain malformation (sounds more dramatic than it is), that causes trouble with my coordination/motor skills and chronic pain + migraines, so if I wasn't able to do that I'd be screwed. It's hard for me to write more than a few legible sentences and I was really stressed when I realized the world lit final was going to be written in class (i don't like to call attention to not being able to do certain things and I didn't want to try and smash my answers into 1-2 sentences), thankfully my teacher was cool about it. I'm a history major. What about you?

I'm an english major! And nah the teacher is really cool, I really love her, but it is really hardcore >m< I totally get the coordination/motor skills stuff. I have a kind of epilepsy that makes me shake a lot - sort of like early stages of Parkinsons kind of shaking. Lmao. Gets hard to walk too. (Why I still try to use chopsticks when I have food and my meds haven't kicked in yet? The world may never know....) so I've had to skip classes because it was just generally a horrible idea to get out of my soft bed where I can't seize and hurt myself as opposed to like...cracking my head on the classroom floor :,) Finals stress is making it worse though and I've just been dying. At least it's only one class I have to go in for a test. Everythin else is handed in electronically. High fives for brain bullshit! :D

Ah sweet! We're both in the "writing all the time" field, haha. OMG... you get me! I have a tremor, so I now what you're talking about. I'm sure it's not as bad as what you experience (I've been lucky so far), but yeah I definitely can't eat soup in public. XD and I totally know what you mean about not being able to leave bed. I have issues with syncope/near-syncope a lot and also migraine auras make it hard to see, so sometimes I'm honestly a danger to myself if I move around too much (or others if I were to try and drive). End of semester stress is killing me to. Gah, if you ever need to whinge about it, please shoot me a smail or comment! I know that a lot of people don't always understand what it's like to live with chronic illness. I'm fortunate to have some amazing friends, but I'm still wracked with guilt if I have to cancel plans with them or family, you know how it is. I hope the next couple of weeks go smoothly for you so you can have really great scores on your papers and exams!

lmao right? Kill us. I hate writing but I keep taking writing intensive classes x3 I am sooo scared of driving oh my god. I'm trying to learn, but being in a car is scary, I can do so much damage. My family is filled with bikers and I want a bike license though. But my dad will only pay for it if I get my car license first. Feel free to shoot me a message if you want to complain too! I'm always all ears for complaining about brain bullshit! I'm lucky enough to have a really fantastic friend too - he's come visited me all the way up at school so I'd have someone to tell me if I did seize (yay grand mal seizures) and to make me food. I totally understand the guilt thing though! I tried to walk home from a sleepover once, because I was starting to jerk around and it was "totally near by I can make it it's fine" but my friend insisted he walk with me and honestly if it hadn't been for him I probably would've gotten really hurt. He was so obviously upset though. He still worries horribly for me now and I feel terrible about it :( Yes! Best of luck with your end of semester hell as well! We're totally gunna get through this!
