I think this is one of my favorite icons I've ever made /csb

oh and add me on tumblr / twatter

tried all the tricks, check out my list

tankmachine — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 03:48:29 GMT

To-Do:

[ ] Become a polygamist and marry both John Krasinski & Adam Pally.

[ ] Hold the graphic design department at gunpoint and force them to accept me into the major.

[ ] Somehow obtain a bit of Joe Manganiello's DNA and stick it into a polyjuice potion that I wil then drink.

[ ] Kill all the Little Monsters in the world.

[ ] Stop being a square and start getting trashed/wasted every single weekend/day/hour like everybody else here seems to.

[ ] ~~Stop procrastinating on every goddamn thing.~~

[ ] Become sexually desirable to EVERY last person on the world. I secretly crave that kind of power. (See item #2)

[ ] Regret making this entry because I usually hate emo woe-is-me-everybody-hates-me shit, I could just check my Tumblr dashboard for that.

[ ] Realize that it's been way too long since I've updated this and that probably nobody remembers who I am... oops.

I really need to start updating this thing again huh.

Skins Generation 2 Genderswap w00t!!

tankmachine — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 18:45:45 GMT

Apparently this is what somebody does when they're still up at 2 AM and procrastinating on schoolwork.

Some notes on my genderswap casting:
- Names and actors are changed, but character personalities and such still remain intact (for example: boy!Emily and boy!Naomi would hook up, girl!Cook and girl!Freddie would still be homoerotictastic, etc.)
- Some of them are a stretch so bear with me.
- Somebody needs to write boy!Emily/boy!Naomi slash for me. Preferably porny :) ~~(and if you want to throw some Freddie/Cook into the mix, be my fucking guest)~~

The Name: I wanted to find a name that was "kooky" (much like Pandora's) and after some snooping around on BehindTheName.com, this one came up
and I made my decision. I wish I knew somebody named Darko in real life, though. :'(
The Actor: Aiden is pretty and I was being superficial. But also, I feel like he kind of has a similar vibe looks-wise to Lisa, so that's how I settled on this one. He's technically not an actor,
but whatever. He also looks like somebody who would be named Darko.

The Name: As with most of the names, I was looking for genderswapped versions of them, hence Emily being Emile. Kit was much more of a challenge, though, because I couldn't
really figure out what a male version of Katie would be. So once again, I hit up BehindTheName and that's how I got Kit.
The Actor: In all honestly, I couldn't really think of any twin actors who would be somewhat age appropriate for the roles and that's why I cast Luke and Elliot, but I think they fit the bill nicely. And funnily enough, Elliott
is actually dating Kaya Scodelario in real life, so I thought it was kind of funny to include him in a genderswapped Gen 2. Another amusing note: Elliott played a gay character in a short called Protect Me From What I Want, but Luke would be playing the gay one here. Hmm.

The Name: Thomas is a French name that has an -ace sound at the end. Alice is also a French name that has an -ace sound at the end. I'm not going for high concept here, people.
The Actor: Similarly to Emile and Kit, choices were limited. I wanted to cast a younger girl with African roots (good luck finding that in a mainstream actress), and after much consideration, I finally thought of Gamu. Like Aiden, she's not an actor either (and actually, they were both competitors during the most recent series of The X Factor), but looks-wise I think she's pretty close to Merv.

The Name: Pretty self-explanatory. A nerdy sounding name that is similar enough to the original and would also produce JJ as a shorthand nickname.
The Actor: I always got the impression that JJ was supposed to be the "baby" of the group (I'm not sure if he actually was, though), so I wanted to cast a younger girl for his female counterpart. Enter Georgie Henley! She's not that young in the context of this show (she turns 16 this year, and Kaya was only 14 when she started) but also, I feel like she could portray the quirky-socially-struggling side as well. (and my god, couldn't she play a younger version of Anna Friel? pretty strong resemblance there.)

The Name: Naomi Campbell to Tyson Beckford. 0% percent effort on this one.
The Actor: I'm pretty smugly proud of myself for this one. Doesn't Jeremy look almost exactly like Lily? Eyes, nose, mouth, yikes. That's all I really have to say about this one.
*it has come to my attention that he is not actually British, but whatever. I'll either make him use a fake British accent or just make his character American. So there.

The Name: Pretty easy translation. The "Cook" nickname would still suffice for Jamie, because a girl called Cook is really cool idea. Hah.
The Actor: This one came purely from me being a Misfits fan and always finding Lauren's portrayal of Kelly to be somewhat Cook-tastic. Or maybe it's just the accent. You decide.

The Name: I changed two letters. $ucce$$.
The Actor: This one was pretty difficult. I wanted to cast a stunningly gorgeous guy to play Effy's male counterpart, and Aaron beat out Alex Pettyfer and Colton Haynes when it came time for the final decision. (Aaron beat Alex because he doesn't really look like Kaya, and Colton because he's American and didn't fit with me trying to cast all-British). I think Aaron as Eddy would be pretty interesting.

The Name: Freda sounds close enough to Freddie, idk.
The Actor: I know what you're thinking, and I acknowledge that I didn't even attempt to try for this one, but hear me out. I was always a huge fan of Luke and Klariza being cast as siblings, just because they look so much alike, so I decided that I would swap her in for Freda. I do wish there were more of Karen in Gen 2 :'(

Thoughts opinions etc, I wants them.

but i've seen him yeah

tankmachine — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 23:31:19 GMT

picspammy is having a tv tropes challenge right now and after much consideration, I am entering a picspam based on the Hey, It's That Guy! trope that I found to be quite common on True Blood. YAYNEWSEASONTOMORROWW00T!

also seen in: The Piano (as Flora, the role that won her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1993) and the X-Men series as Rogue.

also seen in: The Office as Pam's sister Penny, in the "Niagra" episode.

also seen in: How I Met Your Mother in various episodes as Marshall's friend Brad, and One Tree Hill as Brooke's love interest Owen.

also seen in: Summerland as surfer Jay, for the entirety of its two seasons on the WB.

also seen in: Glee as football coach Ken Tanaka.

also seen in: a bevy of other roles, perhaps most notably Thirteen as Tracy and Beatles musical Across the Universe as Lucy.

also seen in: multiple Sweedish productions, in addition to Generation Kill as Sgt. Brad Colbert and Zoolander, playing one of Ben Stiller's male model buddies who is killed in a tragic gas station explosion. Even if you haven't seen the movie, you've probably seen this gif made by schmiss, which has been photoshopped into other incarnations fitting the figures of The Dark Knight and the 2008 US Presidential Election. It's quite amazing.

I am SO excited for this new season, and especially now that Joe Manganiello is in the cast, mmf.

uh oh

tankmachine — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 15:49:39 GMT

PREFACE: I'm re-reading Sloppy Firsts right now because I haven't since 2008 and since I need to re-adjust myself with the characters, this picspam isn't complete or final but I just wanted to get an entry to picspammy in for once. *shrugs*

The ones that are included are probably my firm choices, but other characters like 2/3 of the Clueless Crew, the Darling parents, etc are still pending in my mind. (But I do have some wacky ideas- Chelsea Handler as Mrs. Darling? David Henrie playing the role of black Pepe? Obviously he would be made white and not play Pepe in blackface... Yeah I know, what the fuck is wrong with me)

So with bated breath, these are what I have.

Talulah Riley = Jessica Darling
I'm not expecting much agreement with this one, but Talulah is almost exactly how I picture Jess. She's blonde now but I'm think she's a natural brunette, so really her hair color shouldn't be an issue (even though I picture Jessica as more of a dirty blonde type, not sure why). And yeah, she's obviously gorgeous and Jessica describes herself as otherwise, but I think with some downplayed makeup, she could pass for average-looking. Another issue is that Jessica is 16 in the first book, and Talulah is 25. But this is all in my head and in my head she is awesome. So suck it.

Josh Hutcherson = Scotty Glazer
I'm not sure why, but I immediately put Josh in the role when I read Scotty's introduction. He has that cute-hot thing going for him that Scotty supposedly has, and I think he also looks like he could play the part of a sports head. Hopefully I'll get some like minds about this? Oh right, I forgot that nobody will like this post.

Chanel Iman = Hyacinth Wallace
I don't have much justification for this one other than Hy looks like Chanel in my imagination. That's probably the only real justification for any of my choices, but I digress.

Scott Herman = Paul Parlipiano
Yes, I know he was on The Real World and no, I'm not sure if he could act. But he's hot and that's that.

Pixie Lott = Bridget Milhokovich
Apparently Pixie (a British popstar for those of you who aren't familiar) wants to start an acting career so her playing Bridget isn't totally unrealistic. They both have the generic-vacant pretty thing that Jessica describes.

Anna Kendrick = Hope Weaver
IDK why the hell not. That seems to be my mantra for this fail of a picspam.

and finally, to put this thing out of its misery:

Eddie Redmayne = Marcus Flutie
I don't care if you don't agree with any of my picks. YOU CAN'T TAKE THIS ONE AWAY FROM ME.

If I haul my ass fast enough I'm going to try casting the rest of the roles. Shweet.

picspam yay

tankmachine — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 07:37:57 GMT

Okay so in bid to enter picspammy's latest challenge, I started working on it over a month ago. I got two characters in and... stopped. And then I picked up on it again this week.

Charlotte "Chuck" Charles (Pushing Daisies)

Haven't done this in a while. I'll probably add things by the deadline.

The Petrellis

OMG EW @ that mental image of Mama Petrelli and Kaito doing the nasty. IN. MY. BRAIN. FOREVER. sigh, Where's the Haitian when you need him?

When Nathan asked his children if they liked his beard, they were all "Daddy, you gotta shave that shit." Point taken, because he looked like a homeless pedo for real.

No Peter means no gratuitous shirtlessness. Boo.

Mohinder+Matt

Mohinder totally wears the pants in this relationship.

Molly is cute and all, yes, but she needs to shut up. OMG MATT SAVE ME PLEASE AGHHHH.

Maya, Alejandro, and Sylar

Yes, Maya, Sylar is just like the angel. THE ANGEL OF DEATH.

It seemed as if every line of dialouge Alejandro had was "Maya, no-" or something to that effect. IT WAS REALLY ANNOYING. Alejandro, Sylar is totes gonna eat your brains in three episodes, tops. You might as well get on my good side so I can feel sorry for you when this happens.

Sylar is a sexy, hairy, maniacal goddess and nobody can tell me otherwise.

The Bennets

Chill out, HRG! Just be happy Claire's not wearing a scarlet letter. Then she would really be noticed.
Claire and West really need to stop killing me with their mutant cuteness.

Is it strange that I'm hoping for a Heroes/Office crossover? Like the paper at the Kinkos HRG works at shifts companies to Dunder-Mifflin and...yeah? Make it so, NBC.
