I’m glad you like the Eve banner, guys, even if it’s quite depressing as Pan says :lol:
I’ve made a new Rosalind banner too this evening, and I’m surprised by the direction my graphics style is taking! I’m feeling really creative today for some reason. :-D

Sounds like you had an awesome day, Lothy! :-D

Hey Will! *waves* That’s so great you’ve got your Photoshop back again. :-D I can’t wait to see what Liavere banners you make. <3

Also, can’t wait for your BOAP post! :-D I'm looking forward to seeing how Liam reacts to Guin. <333 She can’t deny it now, she does like him a lot! :lol:

I’ve made yet another new sig set! This is the fastest change of sig I’ve had in ages! :blink:

EDIT:
Here's this piratey banner I've also made, featuring A-Rose, Andrea, Guin, Sam & Vari :pirate: I might make some more featuring more charries!

Ooh, epic group banner, Goldeh! <3 :hug: You're getting very very good at this, I've seen a lot of improvement just in the past few sig sets and graphics you've posted! :happy:

Well it's almost bedtime for me, but I wanted to say that I'm making excellent headway with my BHLN post -- I've already got three pages on Microsoft Word and I'm not even halfway done yet, I don't think! :no: Hopefully I can continue with it tomorrow after the horror that is school. :yes:

Night my loves! :bye2:

I has a present for all you loveliessssss <3

Tis a fanvid of the lesser couples/ones that haven't had a real chance to shine just yet:

Edora
Edeve
Andrea/Cole
Shaelanna

Just be forewarned that parts of it get a little bit racy... that's why it's PG-13, there's nothing too bad but I wouldn't recommend watching it while your parents are looking over your back. ;)

Andrea's a free *beep* baby! Or likes to think she's a free *beep* baby but deep down is really Hector's girl through and through. Yeah I think I've just summed up and entire relationship with one sentence, go me.

ANYWAY... I loved the video babe, absolutely loved it. Fantastical <3 I wish I still had that adobe video software now :(

Also you guys may be interested to know that I'm really steaming ahead with my charrie thread. I'm now in the middle of re-making Caleb's. Also you'll notice there's a new character by name of Mackenna. She's Alek's pirate half-sister, played by a singer called INNA (Elena Apostoleanu). And yes, I do love the song so shush.

yay for Andrea and Cole! :teehee: Love it all... though you guys are really gonna have to convince me on Edora. I'm sorry, I just don't understand it. :erm: maybe 'cause it hasn't really come into play yet...

and I have noticed all of the changes in your OC thread, Lothy. :D I've been keeping close watch on all updates while I work on my own. :P speaking of which, my whole OC thread is almost totally revamped. I've been working on a bio for 'Verett but... I dunno if I'll actually post it. meh. I dunno. *shrugs*

You'll understand it completely when it happens PD, it's one of those things where circumstances change things and cause certain aspects to unfold and bring people together in ways that they normally wouldn't be in...

It's a pairing I am excited about so ya :)

Well, I understand the circumstances that'll put it into motion but still. Who knows. I hope to be dazzled. :teehee:

Anyways, I have sorta overlooked Joe/Lucette (I have decided to dub them Joette lol) lately and so... I bring you a new set. It features Paramore lyrics "Turn It Off". Honestly, when I heard this song I was like "that fits Joe and Lucette separately AND together!!!! eep!" it seriously made my day. Paramore makes me so happiful lately what with this song and then "Misguided Ghosts" and now every single time I listen to "Brick by Boring Brick" I HAVE to think of Andrea... :eyeroll: I wonder what other songs they have that could fit our OCs...lol

You're a girl after my own heart PDie <3 I bought Paramore's new album the day it came out, I absolutely love them. I actually have managed to associate every single song on the album to atleast one of my OCs (mainly Andrea of course).

If you bare with me I'll go through them all now ;)

Careful

I had it all but not what i wanted,
'cause hope for me was a place uncharted
And overgrown.
You make your way in,
I resist you just like this.
You can't tell me to feel,
The truth never set me free
So i did it myself.


Brick by Boring Brick

She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind.
-
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve
Well make sure to build your home brick by boring brick
or the wolf's gonna blow it down
keep your feet on the ground
when your head's in the clouds.
-
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah.


Turn it Off

I scraped my knees while I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven
Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything
Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
I'll turn it off, in all my spite
In all my spite, I'll turn it off.
-
The tragedy, it seems unending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending
We're taking shortcuts and false solutions
Just to come out the hero

Well, I can see behind the curtain
(I can see it now)
The wheels are cranking, turning
It's all wrong, the way we're working
Towards a goal that's non-existent
It's not existent, but we just keep believing.


The Only Exception

when i was younger i saw
my daddy cry
and curse at the wind
he broke his own heart
and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it
and my momma swore
that she would
never let herself forget
and that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
if it does not exist.
-
maybe i know somewhere
deep in my soul
that love never lasts
and we've got to find other ways
to make it alone
keep a straight face
and i've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
and up until now i had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
because none of it was ever worth the risk
well you are the only exception.


Feeling Sorry

And I'm getting bored waiting 'round for you
We're not getting any younger, and I
Won't look back 'cause there's no use
It's time to move forward
-
But I try not to think of what might happen
When your reality, it finally cuts through
Well as for me, I got out and I'm on the road
The worst part is that this (This)
This could be you

You know it too, you can't run from your shame
You're not getting any younger, time
It's passing by, but you waited awake
It's time to roll over.
-
And all the best lies
They are told with fingers tied
So cross them tight
Won't you promise me tonight
If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out?


Looking Up

Things are looking up, oh, finally
I thought I'd never see the day when you smile at me
We always pull through, oh, when we try
I'm always wrong but you're never right
Oh, you're never right

Honestly, can you believe we crossed
The world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no, oh, oh, oh
It's not a dream anymore, it's worth fighting for

Could have given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me
Taken for granted, 'most everything
That I would have died for just yesterday, just yesterday

Honestly, can you believe we crossed
The world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no, oh, oh, oh
It's not a dream anymore, it's worth fighting for.


Misguided Ghosts

I am going away for a while
I'll be back don't try and follow me
I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm tryin' to find my place
It might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes,

And run from them
From them
With no direction
We'll run from them
From them
With no conviction

I'm just one of those ghosts
Traveling endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me
And we just go in circles

Now I'm told that this is life
Pain is just a simple compromise
So we can we get what we want out of it
Someone care to classify
Broken hearts and twisted minds
So i can find, someone to rely on,

And run to them
to them
Full speed ahead
Oh you are not
Useless
We are just

Misguided ghosts
Traveling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one road
We should not be the same
I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
They echo me in circles.


Decode

How can I decide what’s right?
When you’re clouding up my mind.
I can’t win your losing fight,
all the time.

Not ever own what’s mine,
when you’re always taking sides.
But you won’t take away my pride,
no, not this time...
not this time…
-
The truth is hiding in your eyes,
and its hanging on your tongue,
just boiling in my blood,
but you think that I cant see
what kind of man that you are,
if you’re a man at all.
Well I will figure this one
out,
on my own...
(I'm screaming I love you so...)
on my own...
(My thoughts you can't decode!)
-
Do you see what we’ve done?
We’ve gone and made such fools of ourselves...
Do you see what we’ve done?
We’ve gone and made such fools of ourselves.
-
There is something I see in you.
It might kill me,
I want it to be true...


Miracle

I've gone for too long
Living like I'm not alive
So I'm gonna start over tonight
Beginning with you and I

When this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken, hope embraced
And have I told you

I'm not going
cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you

We've learned to run from
Anything uncomfortable
We've tied our pain below
And no one ever has to know

That inside we're broken
I try to patch things up again
To calm my tears and kill these fears
But have I told you, have I

I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you

It's not faith if
If you use your eyes
You'll lie
We'll get it right this time (this time)
Let's leave this all behind
Oh, I will get it right this time
It's not faith if you're using your eyes

Oh, I...

Well I've gone for too long
Living like i'm not alive
So I'm gonna start over tonight
Beginning with you and

I don't want to run from
Anything uncomfortable
I just want no
I just need this pain to end right here

I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you

Yeah, it might save you
Oh, it might save you
Let's not fake this
If you use your eyes.


We Are Broken

I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun.
With my wide eyes,
I've seen worlds that don't belong.

My mouth is dry,
With words I cannot verbalize.
Tell me why,
We live like this.

Keep me safe inside.
Your arms like towers,
Tower over me, yeah.

'Cause we are broken.
What must we do to restore,
Our innocence,
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again,
Cause we just wanna be whole.

Lock the doors,
'Cause I'd like to capture this voice.
It came to me tonight,
So everyone will have a choice.

And under red lights,

I'll show myself it wasn't forged.
We're at war,
We live like this...

Keep me safe inside.
Your arms like towers,
Tower over me.

'Cause we are broken.
What must we do to restore,
Our innocence,
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again,
'Cause we just wanna be whole.

Tower over me...
Tower over me...

And I'll take the truth at any cost.

'Cause we are broken.
What must we do to restore,
Our innocence,
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again,
'Cause we just wanna be whole
.

Phew, there's probably loads more out there but none come to mind right now ;)

Hey y’all! :pirate:
Ara, your OC fanvid is simply epic! :-D Very good job. I loved all the clips you picked for Eve – like the one when she’s writing. It just reminded me of her letter to Ed! *squee* <3

Anyhoo, cripes, I’m so tired O_o I’ve just got back from a trip to Hever Castle – one of my favourite places of all time, because Anne Boleyn lived there – and I’m completely shattered from so much walking. Seriously, my feet feel like they’ve been battered within an inch of their lives. Converses aren’t really good walking shoes I guess. :blink:
But it was a fantastic day. I hadn’t been there for ages and it was just so great to be there again. My favourite place of all there has to be the courtyard, because it’s just so picturesque and fairytale-pretty. :-D I spent a good ten minutes sitting there on a bench, enjoying the peace and quiet, until there was a flood of tourists. :lol:

Anywayyy, I’ll stop rambling! :lol:

On the piratey side of things, I’ve been plotting a lot about Edeve – Ara, your vid inspired me!
I’ve been wondering what it would be like if a guy OC would fall completely head over heels for Eve, unrequitedly of course. It would be so funny to see her completely unaware someone’s going after her when she's so focused on Ed. :lol:

Anyway, I hope Edeve will get some scenes in KAWEOTH soon. <3 Even Edora won’t prevent Eve from staying true to Ed. ;) Eeee, I hope Ed notices Eve soonnn! :lol:

Also, Lothy - I love your new siggy! The colours are great :-D

*Ends ramble* O_o

Thank you darling! I was listening to Mumford and Sons' After The Storm and it suddenly struck me as a perfect song for Caleb and Roisin. I have so much love for them so thought they needed a little bit of appreciating :)

And I absolutely LOVE Hever Castle! I use to go there all the time. Well not ALL the time obviously, but about once every two years as we only lived down the road. That and Ightam Mote. Do they still have the water maze? Man that brings back memories. Shame it ruins the historicness of the grounds though. Have you been to Hampton Court yet? it's fantastic there, we went in year... 8 I think.

I'm going to post in IYHSTS tonight and work on my KAWEOTH & BOAP posts. At least that's the plan.

Well, it’s an epicly beautiful banner. *nods* :-D

Hever is absolutely epic! And so is Ightam Mote, we went there a while ago and I was blown over by how beautiful it is. :-D Yup, Hever still has the water maze. :lol: A bit I particularly liked was the Grecian-style temple – I mean, in the Edwardian times or whenever, that was such a status symbol for a country house, wasn’t it? But what I like most is really the Tudor stuff, since that’s why I go there. Several times I tried to think myself back into the past, when standing at a window looking down at the courtyard, or looking at Anne Boleyn’s Book of Hours – but it can be difficult when there’s tourists milling about and everything.
I’ve not been to Hampton Court yet, but my sister went a while ago and brought me back a replica “B” necklace, like the one Anne wears in her portrait! I wear it all the time now. :-D From what I hear Hampton Court is amazing. I definitely want to go there. <3
Ooh, one more thing, and then I’ll shut up, I promise. :lol: We also went and had a look at the Hever Church. It was so awesome, and kind of awe-inspiring too, because I actually saw Thomas Boleyn’s grave. O_o I can’t believe I’ve been so close to such a historic tomb! I had my picture taken with it (sounding pretty morbid there :roll: ) ^_^

*Officially shuts up about Tudor history*

I’ll be looking forward to your piratey posts! :pirate:

@Lothy: hehe. I have actually just recently fallen in love with Paramore. Since then I have almost nonstop listened to Brand New Eyes. lol

& oops. I got some of the lyrics for Turn if Off wrong. Oh well, that's what you get when you don't double check and make sure in the booklet. :eyeroll:

you people in England have such epicful history! :P not saying we Americans don't have our own awesome history 'cause we do but... still... :P we don't have the ancient kind of history you guys have. ;)

America and England’s histories are both different but equally awesome, I’d say! *nods* :-D

Ooh, also, guess what guys! I’ve started rewriting my character’s bios. :pirate: I’m working on Guin’s at the moment. I'm particularly looking forward to writing up Rosa and Cairbre's histories! I really like the cool new layout everyone’s using, but I think I’d have to ask someone to make mine for me if I went for that style. :lol:

Anyhoo, I’m also plotting a new sig set. :-D Talking of which, PD, I love your new siggy! <3 :pirate: *squee*
