There's a certain new promo picture out there for Merlin.
It has turned me into a puddle of goo.
I had to do something.

[oo8] Merlin Spoiler Icons
[oo6] Merlin Wallpapers (SPOILERS FOR 3x12/13)

None of these are artistic geniuses or something of the like. It's just something thrown together quickly because I physically had to ... while watching Prison Break (I think my brain might not survived today. The Boyband plus Wentworth Miller ... GUH!).

ANYWAY:
If you want a specific text or man-combo for an icon, tell me in the comments and I'll see what I can do. No promises though ;)

All the wallpapers are 1280x800</a> and have different texts so just click about and ... well, of you like 'em, choose ^^

picspam: top ten men

purely_distel — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:04:24 GMT

top ten men
i would take to my bed
'cause that's how i roll

----> #10

I adore this man. I saw him first in Alice as Mad Hatter and god, he was gorgeous! Obviously then I had to watch more and the more I saw the more I fell in love. Just another of them silly brits that I can't get enough of.

----> #09

This one kind of crept up on me. His name I somehow always knew but I never really ... realised how much I adored him until Star Trek. Since then I've been on a romp catching up on his works and I squee at the brilliance!

----> #08

Another one that came blaring at me with the release of Star Trek. He is gorgeous, isn't he? I have not really seen much else he's been in, but I AM on it! rawwr ;)

----> #07

Joshua Jackson. Why is it that there are so many people out there that I have somehow always known but never ... you know? Well, he is another one of those. No idea how I first got to know about him, can't remember (though I DO remember watching all the Ice Hockey movies back in the day ;)). But I began Fringe and I was done for. After Fringe came Dawson's Creek and I only fell more in love with him. The moment I absolutely went over to his side was when he held Pacey Con this summer!

----> #06

WHY YES THIS IS ME WITH RUPERT GRINT! I had to use that picture, right? I've loved him since movie one and he has always been in my list. Meeting him over the summer, talking to him, joking with him ... it was one of the most amazing things ever. Though I am sad to see the Potter movies ending the big Potter cycle I've been part of for 12 years, I cannot wait to see HIM go on! btw - don't we make a handsome couple? I very much think so!

----> #05

Oh John ... I saw him first in a preview for Life On Mars on German telly, years ago, and even back then I wanted to see this man act. I never caught it back then but once I saw him as Master, I made sure to right that wrong and - oh . my . god. He is breathtaking! I saw him perform as Hamlet about two weeks ago and more or less bumped into him after the show outside but chickened out of talking to him. Too much fangirly adoration ;)

----> #04

I think many of you can agree that Brokeback Mountain was a sort of revelation. Or, well, at least it was a movie that had me and my late mother in tears. Jake was amazing and breathtaking but it took me more time, it took me watching Donnie Darko to really feel blown away and then I went to see Prince Of Persia and since I am all over him!

----> #03

IAAAN! obsession, I tell you. I first saw him as Damon (though I knew he was in Lost) when I started TVD last year. But I didn't get into the show and stopped after 4 episodes. Then I started watching Lost as a favour to a friend and ... stopped when they killed off Boone *coughs* xD Then I watched the rest of TVD and the rest, as they say, is history.

----> #02

Yes, well, if anyone is still surprised to find him in this list, up high, we must have never talked. IT'S BLOODY DAVID TENNANT! 'nuff said, thanks a lot ;)

----> #01

Bradley. Oh you silly, random, smart, sexy, gorgeous creature of a man! For more than a year now, he has been at the top of this list and he just keeps sucking me back in. Only yesterday I stared at 4 screencaps of his for 15 minutes straight. I just love him so so much. Him and Angel on the female side ... my absolute favourites!

THAT'S IT! :D HOPE YOU ENJOYED!

john simm icons

purely_distel — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:25:51 GMT

Hey everyone.

I am not yet really back into the whole icons/fandom/livejournal business but I am getting there. I tried making icons for the last couple of weeks and it never worked. As in, seriously, my icons were horrible.

Then, last night, I went to see the magnificent and amazing John Simm perform as Hamlet and it was as if someone had snapped their finger and today I made these John Simm icons and, if I dare say so myself, I love them a lot!

So, I hope you can enjoy them as well!

fic: "and with the thunder", NC-17, Bradley James/Angel Coulby, RPF

purely_distel — Sun, 09 May 2010 04:19:44 GMT

Title: And With The Thunder
Author: purely_distel
Rating: NC-17
Genre: smut
Word Count: 1476
Characters/Pairings: Bradley James/Angel Coulby
Spoilers/Warnings: well, it is real person smut, WHAT do you EXPECT! Oh and watch out for smut-fic clichés because there are a lot!
Disclaimer: I am fully aware of the fact that Bradley and Angel are real, living, breathing people and I am in no way insinuating that anything like this is actually happening. This is simply wishful thinking ;)
Summery: The fingers gripping her bared shoulders - just shy of harshly - were sweaty, the kisses being pressed to her neck felt sloppy, hurried. The short, hot bouts of breath escaping his throat made her shiver when they collided with her skin, wet from sweat and kisses.

Notes: This, people, THIS is what my brain comes up with when it is 5am in the morning, I haven't slept for about 20 hours and I should be studying. Maybe I should put THIS into my exam instead of the essay for Arts and Entertainment Foundation? Anyway. I've been waiting for some proper Hussy/Angel-getting-it-on-in-their-merlin-costumes smut since, like, forever. And when I found none, I wrote myself. I hope you can find some enjoyment in this! A huge shout-out goes to mydoctortennant for a) having the same hours as me and b) for beta-reading this at the crack of dawn.

The fingers gripping her bared shoulders - just shy of harshly - were sweaty, the kisses being pressed to her neck felt sloppy, hurried. The short, hot bouts of breath escaping his throat made her shiver when they collided with her skin, wet from sweat and kisses.

"So sweet ..."

She had no idea what exactly he meant but a short gasp, originally a laugh, was all she offered before gripping his head, snatching up his hair tightly and nearly ripping him back to her lips, needing contact.

Delirious, hot and delirious was what she felt and had to be. The sun had gotten to her while filming today, standing in the glaring light for hours, not moving, being all the queen. Now, leaning against a wall outside the castle, far away from the crew and prying eyes, she had never felt less majestic, even though she was still in her dress, even though what she felt when running her fingers down his back was the rough material of Arthur's chain mail.

"Fucking sweet ..."

Angel gasped when suddenly she felt the humid air of a heavy summer day hit her nipples shortly before Bradley's mouth descended upon them, licking, sucking, making her breath hitch even more, making her wish they were truly alone. Why was she doing this? How had it come to this? She honestly couldn't remember.

It probably had started early this morning when one of the crew members and pointed out to them in the dressing rooms that, if this really were Arthurian times, today would be the celebration of Beltane. He had grinned and waggled his eyebrows mock-suggestively and they had all had a laugh, no one taking it seriously. And why would they?

The day had been just like every other day, except maybe for the heat that today had been nearly unbearable. The sun relentlessly shining down on them until, shortly before the end of filming, clouds appeared out of nowhere, the air suddenly vibrating humidly, a summer storm about to break loose.

The day had been like every other day except that today the scenes between Arthur and Gwen had been more intense than they had been in weeks, months even, and the director had not let them off until he had seen 'the spark' and they had tried again and again and again, apparently always missing just that tiny last bit. In the end, Bradley had been so annoyed (and Angel felt with him), that his Arthur had practically shoved her Gwen against the corridor wall, his entire body pressing against her, leaning into her, his slightly sweaty forehead pressed to hers, his eyes boring into hers dark and intense from exhaustion, heat and annoyance.

Angel had never felt as alive and turned-on in her entire life.

Oh crap, she knew exactly how it started.

The day really had been like every other day except that today, today both her and Bradley gave in.

Which was why she now found herself with one leg wrapped around Bradley, her hands gripping his arms tightly as his mouth and tongue did in reality what had until now only happened in her head.

"Beautiful ..."

When he bit her nipple softly, his free hand softly massaging her exposed flesh, she couldn't help but moan and she was certain she felt him grin against her exposed flesh, gaining enjoyment and, quite obviously, an even bigger ego from having her at his mercy.

Oh she would show him.

Again she fought her fingers into his hair and got him to stand straight, kissing him with all she had, her tongue not asking for permission before entering and sucking his bottom lip not unlike what he had done to her before and this time she could hear him trying to suppress a moan of his own, his hands gripping her waist tightly, trying to give as good as he got. For a while Angel got lost in the moment. Their kisses, so desperate at this point there was really no finesse left, her exposed breasts rubbing against his chain mail covered chest giving even more friction, their hips blindly grinding into each other, no attention for detail.

Angel thought she heard the first rumblings of the nearing storm in the distance when she found her hands deftly working their way under his chain mail, trailing the waistband of his trousers, her lips now leaving his on their own accord and following the line of a salty drop of sweat that made its way down Bradley's neck, maddeningly slow. For a moment she thought about working his costume over his head but her train of thought was cut short when, with a somewhat strangled gasp, Bradley all but pinned her to stonewall and gathered up the skirt of her dress, his hands hungrily exploring the newly available skin once the fabric was hitched around her waist.

"So fucking beautiful ..."

In a vain attempt of getting her breathing under control, Angel raised her head, her eyes staring straight into black clouds piling above them and, suddenly, as if they knew she was watching, opening their flood gates and letting rain purr down on the two of them.

Angel was not sure if Bradley even noticed the storm starting up all around them, all she knew was that she was thankful for the noises of nature swallowing her needy whimpers when Bradley's fingers snuck between her legs, his thump brushing her clit again and again, one finger teasing her opening until she bit down on her lip so hard to keep from screaming, she actually tasted blood.

Her hair was plastered to her head, the hot drops of the air-warmed rain drenching her dress, running refreshing and exciting paths down her naked flesh and Angel felt herself dangerously close to coming with Bradley's relentless ministration and the rain and the stone castle and the sweat and the heat and everything, so she pushed his hand away. For the first time since this had all started, Bradley actually looked at her and she stared back, both of them blinking rapidly to keep the water from their eyes. Before Bradley's gaze changed from the lusty haze it now spoke of to confusion for her making him stop, Angels hands were at his trousers, tracing the waistband, dipping in shortly, making her intentions clear.

Instead of voicing an answer, his lips descended on hers again, the kiss even more hurried, absent-minded, than the others. Quickly, his trousers where open, down on the ground, and he stepped between her legs, again hitching the by now heavy and soaked layers of her now ruined dress up and around her hips. Angel broke their kiss, looking up into the skies again, one hand wiping hair and sweat and rain from her face, the other clutching his shoulder tightly, while Bradley lifted her up, her legs clinging to his hips in the same moment. She had to look down now, look him in the eyes. She knew it would mean that he would know it all now. It was right there, all over her face, she knew. How she had never truly hated it when he called her 'Hussy' How she actually thought his excitement about Buffy was adorable rather than annoying. The way she loved him knowing her so well. That she hadn't been embarrassed when he told her he liked her as more than a college. That all she had been was scared. That she loved him, too.

Then again, if it didn't get out there now, when would it ever? So she looked at him and he looked at her as if searching for some kind of answer and the rain was never louder in their ears, the rumbling from up above directly on top of them now, him right there at her opening, waiting. Searching. Wishing. Hoping.

"Yes ..." Angel had no idea why she knew that it was what he wanted to hear but she did and so she said it and again as if nature was aware of what was happening inside her, inside them, light suddenly flooded all around them. The wide echoing crack of lightning wasn't not far behind and Bradley's lips were on hers again, his tongue in her mouth, his dick inside her and his hips moving, his fingers digging into her arse, keeping her up while the rough stone walls of the old French castle dug into her back and it was raw and quick and a little harsh but Angel clutched him to her as best she could, clenching around him when the feeling became to much. She split her lip again when she came and she knew for once in her life that she did not mind jumping head first into uncertainty because if this was what uncertainty felt like: she'd choose it every day.

Shipper's Manifesto: Draco Malfoy/Ginny Weasley (Harry Potter)

purely_distel — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 01:55:45 GMT

Remember when I promoted the het_reccers shipper's manifesto thing? Well, I chose Draco/Ginny (among others xD) and I just finished the thing and thought you might like a look, too:

Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Ginny Weasley
Blurb:

A lot can be said against Draco and Ginny having any sort of relationship that goes beyond name-calling and ancient hatred but some things cannot be denied by anyone. For one, they make a very handsome couple in any case and, secondly - the spark is there!
They come from families that hated each other for, as we know it, generations. One family always shining as the beacon all that is good and right, the other obviously stirring in the dark, enjoying the horrors of this world - for centuries.
This basis in and of itself makes their combination so utterly fascinating because not only do their own personal feelings are in for a ride but half the wizarding community, it seems, takes an interest into their lives.

Ginny:
Though we all know that, apparently, Ginny ends up with Harry I have to say, I never supported that line of thought. Ginny, to me, seemed to be too strong a character, too independent and fiery a person to stick with someone like Harry who, I believe, wants nothing more than rather boring, average daily life after his ordeal with Voldemort is over. While that is understandable, I cannot see Ginny settling for this life as the good little housewives to the ever-popular super-hero. While Harry certainly was her first crush, the first true love of a school girl, that was all there was to it.
It makes more sense for me that they would try a relationship after Hogwarts, without the boundaries of school and impending doom, but would soon realise that what they believed the perfect fairytale was actually anything but. Ginny is too much of a free spirit to be with Harry. I guess, in the end it would have been as if she was dating on of her brothers more than anything else and I certainly think Ginny is someone who desperately needs something solid and real outside of the Weasley-madness. Not that she does not love her family with all her heart, never that. But she has her own life as well, outside of the family. And being with Harry is like being part of the Weasley family 24/7 for the rest of her life.

Draco:
We all know that Draco enjoys the luxuries his families fortune provides him as much as the next person - more so even. He is rich, smart, handsome and he knows it. Why not be proud of what you got? Growing up in a household such as the Malfoy one cannot have been an easy one at all and I think everyone will agree that Draco definitely has Daddy-issues, a lot. He was forced into a believe system from an early age and, obviously, adopted its teachings in the whole. He knew what not swallowing them up would mean for him and also, watching his parents and their peers, he got a daily performance that, yes, being rich and of pure blood and bring you far in life. It was the easy route to take for him and we all know how he developed with time. What we also know, though, is that he never really was a true Death Eater, a killer. Yeah, he liked to pretend to be all cool and hard-core but, actually, he took no enjoyment from torturing someone else. He may not be the most courageous of blokes but this also shows that he actually has a heart. A rather large one at that.

Ginny and Draco:
Why them, then? I think it is fairly simple to see how Draco would fall for Ginny. Yes, she is a Weasley and he was brought up to hate them. Then again, he was brought up to hate Harry Potter and he still desperately wanted his friendship in the beginning. Ginny would represent to Draco all the things he never really got to be or got to have. She is loved, truly loved, by her family and friends, she has her own head and does not care what anyone thinks and still looks good while "not caring", she is smart, too. But not in the sometimes over-bearing fashion we know from another certain Gryffindor. Simply put, she would be his beacon of light, once he got around his initial, wrongly-taught dislike.
Ginny is stubbern, we know that. And she has her own head. So obviously Draco is the one thing she would try to get her head around. He stand for the absolute opposite of what she is used to and he has a certain danger about him - if only because his father is Lucius Malfoy. To Ginny, Draco would be a challenge on several layers. Intellectually, historically, physically (lets not remember they both love Quidditch) and obviously emotionally.
So, as you can see, once you somehow get passed the fact that they would never freely spend time together, once they are somehow forced to know each other, they would be a perfect match. And that is where us, the authors, step in. We're able to provide these two with the opportunities they were never given in the true story.

And we love doing it, believe me ;)

A/N: Most of the stories I rec are long, complicated and epic, because that is how I like my stories best. Most of them are also quite old aka were written prior to Deathly Hallows being released. Not all of them, mind, but most. I just feel like these are some of the jewels and they need to shine, always!

Fic Rec #1 - Best Drama Story: Draconis and Ginevra
Author: cinnamon badge
Link: here you go
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17/Extreme Naughty

Why This Must Be Read:
This is Romeo and Juliet, retold. Better, I think even. Then again, I never cared that much for that particular Shakespeare story, I prefer his comedies. This story had me shouting at the screen, punching the air in victory and sobbing for hours. This story gets into your body, overtakes your heart and eats your soul ... this story is simply amazing.

Fic Rec #2 - Best Action/Adventure Story: Dirty Secrets
Author: evanesco
Link: here you go
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17/Extremely Naughty

Why This Must Be Read:
It's dark, it's hands-on, it's thorough, it is quite addicting. 'Nuff said.

Fic Rec #3 - Best Classic Our Winter
Author: Jade Okelani
Link: here you go
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17

Why This Must Be Read:
As you see, I changed the category. There are not that many AU stories of D/G around except, well, that they all are considering the books etc but that's not why we're here.
This was, I believe, one of the very first D/G stories ever, it is considered TEH classic in this fandom and should be read because it really is that good and deserves all the praise it gets!

Fic Rec #4 - Best Angst Story: Theesousand Day's of Innocence
Author: cinnamon badge
Link: here you go
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17

Why This Must Be Read:
This could probably be considered cin's master piece. It takes an ENTIRELY new turn on things and though you think you have the entire story figured out, there are so many surprising twists and turns, you're actually surprised. And this has moron/stupid/twat!Harry as a bonus. Well, bonus for me anyways ;)

Fic Rec #5 - Best Fluff Story: Dragon and Angel (plus it's sequels)
Author: dragonsangel68
Link: here you go
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17/Extremely Naughty

Why This Must Be Read:
No, this story is not overly dramatic or dark. This is the fun. This story reminds you why life is beautiful and that second chances should be granted, always. Still, it never gets boring. This is the story of Draco and Ginny building a life years after they made one, tumbling, mistake that had repercussions. Two, in fact. Two cute, sweet repercussions that you cannot help but to love.

Fic Rec #6 - Best Hurt/Comfort Story: A Bed Made For One
Author: Sarea Okelani
Link: here you go
Rating/Warning(s): PG

Why This Must Be Read:
This story is quite short but it is harsh, utterly real and bittersweet. It takes you to see how a war can ruin a soul and how, still, a tiny flame will always be alight, no matter what.

Fic Rec #7 - Best PWP/Kink Story: PORTKEY PARTY
Author: Sarea Okelani
Link: Here you go
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17/Extremely Naughty

Why This Must Be Read:
For one, the characters are simply brilliant and, even though this story is not that long, have depth. Especially Ginny, being the lead in this one, is portrait wonderfully. The entire set up is just hilarious (imagine Swinger Party in Wizard-Country :P) and the side characters make it all the more amusing. And, obviously, as it needs to be in a story such as this - the smut is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! It's well written, diverse, sexy, funny and very, very satisfying for all parties involved. The entire story is!

Fic Rec #8 - Best Long Story: Ginny Weasley and the Curse of the Firstborn
Author: anniepenrose
Link: here you go
Rating/Warning(s): R

Why This Must Be Read:
The general outline of the story may seem a bit silly and overdone at first, but this is so definitely worth the read. This story is amazing and has you hooked in a matter of seconds. It's got it all, the drama, the angst, the romance, the fluff, the sexy.

Fic Rec #9 - Best Short Story: And With My Childhoods Faith
Author: peki
Link: here you go
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17

Why This Must Be Read:
This story is not that long but it seems to be an epic novel because in such a short time, the author dives deep into the characters and turns them all over, it's breathtaking.

Fic Rec #10 - Best Overall Romantic Story: Dracon Kisses
Author: davesmom
Link: here you go
Rating/Warning(s): PG

Why This Must Be Read: In this fluffy piece from Davesmom, Draco is conniving, Ginny is enterprising, and we're all dragged along for the fun. Dragon Kisses treats us to a game of truth or dare, chocolate and cinnamon, and one of the sweetest, yet spiciest, kisses in D/G fanfiction.

fic: "lotion", pg-13, rpf

purely_distel — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:55:28 GMT

Title: Lotion
Author: purely_distel
Rating: PG-13
Genre: sexy fluff?
Characters/Pairings: Neil/David
Spoilers/Warnings: uhuh, real person fic, guy-on-guy action :D
Disclaimer: I DO realise that Neil and David are individuals and lead a bloody amazing life and ... well, this is just fiction, nothing else.
Summary: "We do have a screwed-up relationship ..."
A/N: Well, so, yeah. I enjoy RPF, always have, always will. And I LOVE, love, love Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, even though I don't voice it that often. To me, they are THE most amazing celebrity couple and the love they share takes my breath away ... anyway. I guess nearly none of you know this, but I co-own a community just for them, yesitmatters, so if you share the love - JOIN! :D

Oh and, by-the-by - first time ever I've written something slashy xD

"You know ... sometimes I honestly don't know whether I'm dating a guy or a girl."

Neil took a moment for that statement to settle, raising an eyebrow at himself in the mirror. "And what is that supposed to mean?" he called over his shoulder while running his fingers over his forehead and temples, massaging away some left-over lotion. Instead of answering, David appeared in the doorway behind him, grinning at him wide and innocently. Neil regarded him for a while, getting sidetracked by the boyish happiness and joy that seemed to radiant from him.

"Fine, be a child ..." he mock-scowled, a smile tugging at his lips, and opened the tub, turning his eyes away from the mirror to busy himself with the cold water erupting into the sink. But the water was not able to hold his attention for long as David's hands snug their way around his waist, like they had done so often already, and when Neil looked up again, David's face was right there beside him, chin resting on his shoulder. It was a well known picture to the both of them but Neil still felt his heartbeat speeding up. He turned his head a little, not being able to resist pressing a soft kiss to the corner of David's mouth. He leaned into the embrace, snuggling into David's chest, hugging David's hands to himself. He was rather content, just standing there, enjoying the moment. They so rarely were able to share some peace and quite with him being away as often as he was and David himself was rather busy, too. There were only little moments, snippets of time they caught whenever they could, like this long over-due weekend. Neil was more than happy to be away from craziness for a few days. Not David though, he was still grinning as madly as before and Neil very well knew what the gleam in David's eyes meant.

"Child am I?" David asked, before softly biting Neil's neck while his hands started a slow and steady course down a well travelled path, finding their way between fabric, stroking skin. It was a moment before he whispered into Neil's ear: "And that coming from the woman of the family. We really have a screwed-up relationship."

Neil, a moment ago enjoying the ministrations of David's mouth and hands, turned around, an amused though slightly challenging smirk on his face. His voice was rough when he said: "Honestly, what's it with you and questioning my manliness today?" Never breaking eye contact, he grabbed David's hands, keeping him from touching him more in case he might lose his train of thought - or what was left of it anyway - and backed him up against the bathroom wall.

"Still girly to you?" he asked, pressing David firmly against the wall, making him feel exactly how not-girly he was, before kissing him thoroughly, his tongue feeling the beloved familiarity, his breath coming short.

When they broke apart David looked at Neil for a long moment. Then he raised one of his newly freed hands to Neil's face and lightly stroked down Neil's cheek.

"Actually, I was just talking about the lotion. Thank god that is the only thing girly about you."

100 Merlin 2x10 Icons

purely_distel — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 22:23:30 GMT

Finally! I finished all my 100 icons! Some of them I love, some I hate but I just really, really, finally wanted to get this done. And no, not just because I promised myself I would not post my new Friends icons before I'd finished this. Also just because the world always needs more 2x10 icons xD

shameless promotion

purely_distel — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 04:23:06 GMT

I am sorry, no new post.

But one will come very soon! I have about 30 Merlin icons ready to go, most of the merlin100 icons are finished, there is some SyFy Alice aaaand, dumdum, new fandom - 55 Friends icons (HEAVY focus on Chandler and Monica/Chandler) all finished.

But I am swamped with Uni work atm and only make a handful of icons every day to relax - posting will come during spring break (which is, THANKFULLY, only another week away ... I just finished my second-to-last essay of the year, WOOT!)

anyway, meanwhile:

Hi everyone, bit of slightly sad news I'm afraid. There are a few things that have made me decide that maybe it's time for a change, and to that end I am no longer going to be posting my graphics here. I've greatly enjoyed my time here, and all the wonderful comments you guys have left me, and I hope that some of you will choose to join me over at my new home:

thatgoldenrule

I haven't forgotten I promised icon tutorials-those will be going up over there asap, and there is already a batch of icons up, so please feel free to check them out, and thank you again for all your support over the last year and a bit-it's been a blast ♥

picspam: fav. females

purely_distel — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:00:20 GMT

five times the charm

my five favourite ladies

madame 1. angel coulby

though she is basically the newest in the bunch, this woman made my head turn like no other. everyone who knows me at least a little knows that, fangirling-wise, i am more about the boys, than the girls. but her? her i want, badly.
i mean, have you looked at her? she is gorgeous! her skin just screams to be touched and her hair is so amazing, deep and brown and curly and it shines and her eyes, so deep and ... will stop now. but CRAP there need to be more pictures of her, DAMNIT!

madame 2. felicitas woll

she would be the woman i have loved longest. she was the star of the tv show i was a real and utter fan of for the first time in my life and she is such and amazing actress and a wonderful and nice person. i have not seen anything new from her in a long while simply because i just don't watch german telly anymore but i still hold her in very, very high regard. AND I MISS LOLLE!

madame 3. billie piper

billie. obviously, i got to know her trough doctor who but from all the ladies that left through the TARDIS doors over time, she is the one i follow the most. i have seen nearly all of her other stuff and i like her sooo much.

madame 4. josefine preuß

oh josi, you quirky little smart-ass. don't ask me why but when i'm not lusting after women like angel coulby, this is the type of girl i'd go for. short, energetic and red-haired. not to mention she is a really kick-ass person and i have the fortune of her knowing who i am. yup, a celeb knows me, that's how cool i am.

madame 5. caroline herfurth

look at her. look at her. bonnie-who? THIS, people, THIS right here is the perfect ginny weasley and she always will be for me. i can't remember where i first saw all i do remember is that by the time "mädchen, mädchen" came about she had turned into one of germany's best actresses. at least for me. funny how 3 out of 5 actresses in here are german when i am usually all about the british. i am weird.

Second post today...forgive the spam, but I'd appreciate any of you who have the time answering this meme for me, just so I can see what icons you prefer, so I can try and make more like that for you guys in the future :D

REQUESTS!

blue_emotion — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 19:20:49 GMT

252 watchers? When did that happen :O Thank you all so much for watching us! To celebrate this I'm asking you to spam me with images. You can spam me with up to 5 images each, and I'll make sure everyone gets at least one icon (possibly more depending on how many people actually leave images. Feel free to offer up whatever fandom you want, all I ask is that you only leave me MQ and preferably HQ images-they're a lot easier to work with! Spam away you guys!
