Hi guys. I'm back to the online world again. It's been a hectic few last months. New house, soon to be mom, and that sort of thing. I'm sort of settled in my new house and here are a brand new batch of icons. Sorry if I haven't replied to anyone, but I read every comment posted here and a big thanks for leaving me some feedback.

The Prince's Keepsake, my latest video about SS/LM

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 13:39:02 GMT

Warning! Slash and obviously suggestive scenes. If you are offended by it, please don't bother to watch it. Thank you. For this project I was inspired by numerous SS/LM HP fanfiction. So thank you talented writers! Enjoy everyone and leave a comment with your opinion. Don't forget to fav and vote! :)

When Harry Potter enters Snape's mind by accident he discovers lots of things that he didn't know about. Snape's love for Lily is central in my video. She is his one and true love since childhood. At a very young age, Snape sold his soul to Voldemort and joins the Death Eaters as we know. He chooses to fight against Voldemort and protect Lily's only son because of his love for her. Until the end he keeps up appearances for the dark side. Pleasure seeking Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa shows an interest at Snape. They invite him and the other Death Eaters at their mansion with secret rooms we do not know of. Snape obeys but only to satisfy his lust. Deep inside, Lily is always on his mind where ever his thoughts are.

Did anyone have a great time during the holidays? Lots of luxerous dinners I presume? I'm enjoying the holidays. We even got a chance to enjoy a white christmas for a day or two. :)

First time ever, I made some text only icons. I'll continue to make more if people like them. I can imagine some of them are very Snape like. ;)

Freedom of Speech

Tue, 07 Aug 2007 14:35:34 GMT

LJ/6A is going down the drain lately with their fandom wanking. Users accounts/communities are being suspended because of their 'questionable' content. Some of the communities I'm watching are moving away to GJ or IJ, or something similar. For the record, I'm not leaving. I'm just upset about censoring other man's beliefs, art, fiction or whatever.

Looking back through my icon archive, I've noticed that Photobucket has removed some of my icons because it 'violated' their termes of services. *Le sigh*

This censorship can't be stopped. After I'm back from holiday (going to Curacao scuba diving!!!) August 18, I'm going to mirror my journal (as well as my private journal) to Greatest Journal and Insane Journal. I'll make a post about it when I'm finished. I think it's easier if you have an account there, to friend me over there if you like. So, that'll be 3 journals to maintain for now. :D

Our Solemn Hour

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 12:32:34 GMT

Our favorite characters are awaiting their final moment. Harry Potter realises the consequences he has to face. Will he survive the war? Will the others survive? Is Snape good? Will Draco redeem? Naturally Harry is angry and sad. How much more can he take? He lost the people he loved so much. Voldemort will not take his friends down. And so the end is near and all our answers will be revealed in Deathly Hallows. I tried to put all of these emotions into my latest video. So grab your tissues! Mostly from Harry's POV.

Brotherhood video

Fri, 08 Dec 2006 17:14:00 GMT

Fandom: Jason Isaacs's Brotherhood
Title: Things Have Changed
Link: Link to Video
Song: Intro by Shivaree, Little Black Mess - Title Song by Bob Dylan, Things Have Changed
Genre: romance, drama, character study, growing pains, violence
Summary: Things have changed is my first fanmade video about the new TV-show 'Brotherhood', starring the multi-talented and handsome Jason Isaacs as Michael Caffee. Michael Caffee is a tormented gangster, changing the ways around The Hills to his likings. Family is very important to him. He made a comeback in the first episode after an absent of seven years. Naturally, things has changed in seven years. Life goes on. The song by Bob Dylan is featured in one of those episodes. I wanted to show how Michael Caffee integrates in the criminal underworld and changes the lives of his family. Everything has changed and Michael needs to find his own place again. Deep down, I'm sure, he has a good heart.

I usually post icons and stuff, but it seemed nice to show my *cough* other talents. I hope the Jason Isaacs fans on my flist enjoy this. Beware of spoilers though!
