2009-08-31T16:56:25Z

I can't think of anything coherent to say. XD *just woke up* It's time for a lyrical theme! I chose a song at random, it ended up being Full Moon by the Black Ghosts (anyone else love the Twilight soundtrack but not so much the movie? XD) with a subtheme of Kingdom Hearts 2 Provided Images.

THEME: Full Moon by the Black Ghosts
(note: you MUST use this for your first icon)

When the thorn bush turns white that's when I'll come home
I am going out to see what I can sow
And I don't know where I'll go
And I don't know what I'll see
But I'll try not to bring it back home with me

Like the morning sun your eyes will follow me
As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be
Cause all I want is here and now but its already been and gone
Our intentions always last that bit too long

Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me and
you're still there
Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and you're still there

In the full moons light I listen to the stream
And in between the silence hear you calling me
But I don't know where I am and I don't trust who I've been
And If I come home how will I ever leave

SUBTHEME: KH2 Provided Images
(note: you are allowed to only use this for your second icon, if you choose)

GOOD LUCK!

Week 69: The Crow Quotes // Thieves submission

2009-08-18T03:59:14Z

Hope this week gets as many beautiful icons as the last!!! As requested by wounded_melody, our theme shall be The Crow Quotes with a subtheme suggested by surmise, Thieves. 8D

Note: The theme this week involves strong language

THEME: The Crow Quotes
(note: you MUST use this for your first icon)

Quote One: People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.

Quote Two: If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.

Quote Three: I knew I knew you, I knew I knew you. But you ain't you. You can't be you. We put you through the window. There ain't no coming back. This is the really real world, there ain't no coming back. We killed you dead, there ain't no coming back! There ain't no coming back! There ain't no coming back!

Quote Four: Ya know, my daddy used to say every man's got a devil. And you can't rest 'til you find him. What happened back there with you and your girlfriend - I cleared that building. Hell, nothin' in this town happens without my say-so. So I'm sorry if I spoiled your wedding plans there, friend. But, if it's any consolation to you, you have put a smile on my face.

Quote Five: Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children. Do you understand? Morphine is bad for you. Your daughter is out there on the streets waiting for you.

SUBTHEME: Thieves
(note: you are allowed to only use this for your second icon, if you choose)

Your subtheme icons this week must include something having to do with the fighting class of Thief, or something relating to the title of Thief. Yummy Zidane icons are definitely welcome, as well as the obligitory, "You have stolen my heart" reference 8D

GOOD LUCK!

Week 68: Mad Girl's Love Song // Flower submission

2009-08-11T07:32:30Z

Requested by my dear gabranth, this week's theme shall be Mad Girl's Love Song by Sylvia Plath with a subtheme of Flower. I'm not sure if we've done that before, but if we did it was a while ago. ;)

THEME: Mad Girl's Love Song by Sylvia Plath
(note: you MUST use this for your first icon)
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

SUBTHEME: Flower
(note: you are allowed to only use this for your second icon, if you choose)

FLOWERS! This is kind of an inside joke subtheme, but nonetheless! Your subtheme icons must be centering around some sort of flower- call Ashe a desert bloom, have Aerith standing in some flowers- anything!

GOOD LUCK!

I heard ths song on the radio last night. It's perfect. 8D This week's theme shall be Samson by Regina Spektor with a subtheme of Book Titles.

THEME: Samson by Regina Spektor
(note: you MUST use this for your first icon)
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed
not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

SUBTHEME: Book Titles
(note: you are allowed to only use this for your second icon, if you choose)
Your subtheme icons this week must have the name of the book somewhere on it. Ideas: Photoshop Baltheir reading Twilight.
8D That's all I've got XDD
