Just so you all know, fandoms include (in no particular order): SPN, The Avengers (only specific characters, some from the previous movies), BtVS (AtS), Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, Psych. Also, the writing may romantic or platonic.

I've got a list of 10 of my favorite pairings. All you need to do is give me a number (1-10) and something for them to do, like washing dishes or fighting crime, and I'll write a snippet/ficlet (sentence or drabble, most likely) ~~and explain how the task would go for that pairing and universe.~~

Title: Blue Veins
Fandom: Thor
Song: Blue Lips; Artist: Regina Spektor
Category: character study
Characters/Pairings: Loki (Thor, Odin)
Summary: 'Blue, the most human color.' Loving and loyal Loki, lied to his whole life until the truth and his insecurities got the best of him. A villain's origin story, using only material from THOR.
Length: 3:07
File Size: 135 MB / 66 MB
A/N: I think, like most of this fandom, I fell for Loki's character. I heard this song and I had an instant revelation. I hope you all enjoy watching it as much as I did making it. *Feedback (both positive and constructive) is greatly appreciated by all!

Title: Somewhere Only We Know
Fandom: The Fall
Song: Somewhere Only We Know; Artist: Keane
Category: general
Characters/Pairings: Alexandria, Roy
Summary: Young Alexandria has a broken arm; Roy has a broken heart. Together they realize that imagination and stories are the strongest of all remedies.
Length: 2:36
File Size: 116 MB / ~56 MB
A/N: I wanted this vid to highlight the beauty and power found in the storytelling, but it sort of turned into a slight retelling of movie, where Alexandria's love for Roy (and his story) saved his life. Which I'm totally okay with because OMG!MYCREYS! :D
A/N ii: Thank you so much to my betas:

gigglemonster &

maichan
A/N iii: If you've never seen this film, do yourself the biggest favor of the month and go rent it or whatever. Just watch it. It will stay with you your whole life. (I first watched this film in 2008 and I still consider this one of my favorite movies; so much so that I ended up vidding it 4 years later.)

This post is sooo random. I've been sick with a cold and I just ventured back into iconning, but I found that I had all these leftover icons from - like - over a year ago, in my Photobucket that I never uploaded. So here's a haphazard mix of icons. Enjoy. :D

→ 60 Supernatural (S2, S4, s5, 6x18, 6x20)
→ 17 celebrities (Ian Somerhalder, Lee Pace, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles)
→ 4 Possession (movie with SMG & Lee Pace)
→ 8 Pushing Daisies
= 89 ICONS

( Clicky for icons )

+NO HOTLINKING, PLEASE! (proper way to use icons = right-click; "save image-as" onto computer; upload)
+If you take something, please let me know and credit me,

turquoisetumult, somewhere as its maker.
+I've tried some new things here so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. ENJOY! :D

Unfortunately, due to nearly exceeding bandwidth on my Photobucket account, I have moved these icons to another account.

If you can promise me not to hotlink and further exceed my bandwidth, please comment to this entry that you would like to see the icons! I will then comment (through a screen post) with the link of my other hosting site.

I know this is complicated, but Photobucket blows!

Thank you for understanding and please don't hesitate to post some feedback if you like what you see!

Eep, the first picspam with more than 3 pictures involved! :D
+ Screencaps can be found in my Resources.; please don't use the following for your own picspams or icons.
+ Please feel free to let me know how this went. What you liked? What you disliked? This just might be my new hobby this summer, who knows? :)
+ Most have Youtube links to watch the video connecting to the pictures/quotes.

The idea for this one is simple →
5 favorite themes/things from my 5 favorite shows/movies of 2009
(Basically, this was just an excuse to look at pretty people, once more!)

I. «THE FALL» Okay, so I know this movie was technically watched in 2008, but I still love it lots.
( THE FALL - spoilers for most of the film )

II. «FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS» You guys must've seen this one coming, right? :)
( FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS - spoilers for season 1 only )

III. «DOLLHOUSE» Yes, it was a very short season, but there were still stuff there besides background info. :)
( DOLLHOUSE - spoilers through 1x11 only )

IV. «LOST» It's not my favorite of all time anymore, but I still do watch it regularly.
( LOST - spoilers for all of season 5 )

V. «SUPERNATURAL» I kind of feel like I should make an entire picspam devoted to this season of Supernatural. It's been outstanding!
( SUPERNATURAL - spoilers for all of season 4 (!!!) )

List fifteen fictional characters that you would have sex with.
- Tag 5 people to do the same. =)

(For my purposes, I've included pictures - 'cause what's a meme without extra stuff . And some of them are not so much "have sex with" - as to minimize my pervertedness - but OMG, what a guy! *general flailing/squeeing.* AND they are listed in alphabetical order. ;))

While reality buffs may feel they're in heaven, it's a hellish scenario for admirers of "Grey's Anatomy," "30 Rock" and other scripted shows.

Oh, God, why! Why!?! Please stop the writers' strike now. Please?

Right before dinner, we got this call from Con Edison in which someone with an accent (that I couldn't understand at all) was trying to explain something about merging and discount on bills to me. I tried every excuse in the book, including "I'm the daughter!" "My dad's not home!" "My mom doesn't speak English!" and "I don't know my family's native language well enough to translate this to her!" and the fuckers still wouldn't let me be! Finally, after I asked them for written information (as in a letter, so I wouldn't have to deal with them), they told me to visit their website and they would call back on Saturday. What the hell?!

That phone call took like 15 minutes! My food was cold and gross when I finally got to the table.

I understand that it's their job, but at least learn when to give up...

... Just stuff...

-Went to see the Simpsons Movie on Saturday with a few friends. It was really quite good, though one could easily call it an extended episode that you could get on TV for free (as the movie spoofed). ;) Regardless, I liked it and I didn't feel I wasted my money, so yay! But OMG! cartoon-frontal-male-nudity WTF?! Let us not ponder that... Moving on... :D

-My boss is a big old pervert. And I literally mean, he's big and old ... and married, and has kids. And with all that, he really shouldn't be 'complimenting/flirting' with the girls or hinting at sexual inneudos. For Christ's sake, grow up... *rolls eyes* Fucking boys will be boys...

-Speaking of work, there's a busy schedule for next week. And I hate it! Grr... On the bright side, I feel so grown up. I already hate my job at the ripe age of 18, and having only worked there for about two months! It takes most people at least a few years for their utter distaste for their work to hit them. ;) Always was a quick learner - well, when it came to cynicism at least. ;)

-Got my bottom retainer removed today. And now I keep sliding my tongue across the back of my teeth. Ohh, so smooth! *is happy* I still have to wear my top retainer at night twice a week until I'm twenty, but oh well. No biggie. I have a completely metal-less mouth this very instant for the first time in five years. YAY!

-I am so cold right now! My hands are frozen! I had to wear a jacket today when I went out and I'm wearing long jeans, a sweater, and socks inside right now. It feels like October and that makes me sad a little bit. Mostly because it's reminding me of school. Stupid weather. Stupid side-effects of Hurricane Dean (That's right, Dean. Don't try and look all innocent...) Oddly enough, the temperatures are supposed to hit high by the end of the week (like 90*F) and that doesn't make me happy either. Blah, nothing makes me happy... lol.

-I hate myself for procrastinating my school stuff. Get your damn insurance policy renewed, Maria! *headdesk* I just get all nervous when I have to do important, can't-really-go-back-and-fix-things-if-you-screw-up, stuff like that. Hence my procrastination, despite the fact that the paper is literally right underneath my keyboard.

-I kind of want to icon Supernatural, but am super intimitated. The damn lighting in the show I've heard is impossible to work with (why, Kripke, why!?) and even if I do figure it out, I feel like everyone has already iconed it, and far better than I could ever do. I think I'm just trying to create an excuse to look at the pretty boys... ;)

-Yet another summer wasted. Eh, what else is new... Though I did get to meet more with my friends this year than in past years so I guess that's a good thing...

Okay, *scratches head*, that's it for now, folks... :D

So ... I have so many papers and finals in the next two weeks that it is truly ridiculous. That is why I've decided to waste time, instead.

--

Just watched Firefly's "Out of Gas" - truly marvelous. What a fantastic episode - flashbacks (yay!!!!) and a heartwrenching plot. Not to mention, phenomenal characters. I am really starting to love this show, which sucks because I know that it ends in a few episodes. I loved that the man at the end was talking up another ship, rather than Serenity. It's such a romantic notion that Mal fell in love with the ship, not because he was tricked into it by a salesman or because it was the best ship around, but because he saw freedom in it. It's so Pirates of the Caribbean - I love it! Gah, I need to be anaylzing things for school and papers, not a TV show! Too bad I can't wrap my brain around anything school-related!

(The score from this episode was absolutely poignant and beautiful. Anyone know where I could find it?)

--

So besides Firefly, I'm also in love with Mel Brook's Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Granted, it's a movie, but still. It's hilarious and Mel Brooks is just a damn genius. It didn't hurt that Cary Elwes (Robin Hood) was quite the looker in his day. And, hell, I want an Englishmen to seranade me, dammit!! Unforunately, he's completely lost his British accent now (I don't know that disappoints me so much, but it really does) and gained weight. But he's also really quite old now, so I guess it's okay...
