oh, the hazards of love

[dollsome]

Apparently doing homework on a Sunday -- a.k.a. when I should -- is something that's just beyond me, even when it's fun. There I was, reading Northanger Abbey for my novel class, when I was randomly struck by the thought, 'Man, Felicity Jones would make a delightful Pippa!' Somehow this led to me abandoning reading for school and ... er, going surprisingly A Great & Terrible Beauty fanart-crazy??





'Cause, seriously, they need to get crackin' on this movie already. (Although, realistically, I'm probably doomed to hate it.)



Realms-y fun!!

Plus some icons! None of which are very good, because my icon muse ain't there today, but still:

Also, wallpaper!

GOD I LOVE THESE BOOKS.

And, er, homework now. Right!

Ooh, thanks, buddy! You rock that techspertise!

... which, okay, that sounded wittier in my head. Actually spelled out, it just looks weird.

Hah, I remember somewhere close to nothing about the book, but that is some darn pretty art, which makes me want to see a movie with these lovely ladies in it.

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

NICE!

And oh gosh, the powers of Libba didn't OWN YOUR SOUL? How did you resist??

[rainbowstevie.livejournal.com]

Well, I really loved it the first time I read it, but then several months passed, and as I am in the business of quantity with little time for rereads...my sieve-like brain washed all the details out of it.

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Saaaaad! Whenever you have time, you should totally revisit it. And the two sequels are incredible.

Yo! Randooooom. But have you seen the newish (??) BBC/Masterpiece Theatre Sense and Sensibility? Is it good?

OMG. YES. I LOVE THOSE BOOKS. I AM SO AFRAID THEY WILL KILL THEM WITH A MOVIE. OMG.

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

I HAVE, I AM OBSESSED WITH IT. It's so wonderfulllllll!!!! I think it might be my very favourite Austen adaptation. Watch it! Watch it!

[snowfire.livejournal.com]

Ooh, pretty! I'm stealing a couple of the icons (2 and 6, I think?) and the wallpaper. And now I want to reread the books again.

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm glad you like! :D

And, dude, WORD. I need to stop saying I need to reread these and actually reread them. It's been too long.

[reader-meg.livejournal.com]

These are lovely!

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[yourmanuscript.livejournal.com]

These are so pretty, oh my gosh! I'm taking icons 2 and 3 and the wallpaper, thank you! ♥ I'd never thought of Talulah as Anne before this- I quite like that idea, actually. :)

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! :D

I've always been sort of stuck on who to cast for Anne, but then this awesome video (http://tirwen-star03.livejournal.com/343280.html) went for Talulah, and I really liked that!

[lalumena.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I really need to reread these books. And track down the final one! Because the bookstores here are stacked full with the Twilight series but no Libbra Bray. TRAGEDY. I have some memory of hearing they were going to cast Bonnie Wright?

Taking the wallpaper - I've been looking for a new one for some time now! So thank you. :)

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

YES YOU DO! Oh, gosh. The Sweet Far Thing was like ... I'm not sure I'm over it, and it's been over a year. GLORIOUS.

And I think the Bonnie Wright thing turned out to just be a rumour!

[lalumena.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, that sounds ominous...but I shall endeavour onwards towards getting it. The bookshops in NZ are oversupplied with Meyer and Meyer-related books (scary fan-info books about Rob Pattinson and Twilight tie-ins) and grievously undersupplied with Gaiman and Bray. It's a sad thing. LAMENTABLE.

[dorychop.livejournal.com]

OMG. Fantastic! At least your made something totally awesome with the time you were supposed to be spending on school :)

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Hee, exactly! :D Thank you!

THIS POST = A++++++

I never end up taking AGATB icons because my brain has totally rejected RHW as Gemma (precious as she is, girl lacks the BITE, IMO. Her voice is so soft and delicate!), and Imogen Poots, while incredible and gorgeous, is a bit too doe-eyed and sparkly for my Fee, I think. BUT YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT FELICITY JONES AS PIPPA (♥♥♥), and I've always been remarkably fond of Talulah as Ann, despite the fact that she's not a blonde. ANYWAYS. THESE ARE REMARKABLY PRETTY!

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU!!!

Yeah, I really have no idea about casting, but then I found lots of really really pretty pictures of Rachel Hurd Wood, and so, while she doesn't really look like the Gemma in my head at all, I could not resist!

... I kind of fear this movie if it ever gets made. They had better treat it with utmost reverence, because IT NEEDS TO BE EXQUISITE AND PERFECT AND AMAZING, OKAY.

[youreyesbetray.livejournal.com]

Very pretty. I love it :)

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Thank youuu! :)

[windblownglass.livejournal.com]

Okay. I only have one word for you. BEAUTIFUL. Wallpaper is my wallpaper, icons are saved for the pretty, and... Yes. You are made of win. tysm. ♥

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you so much! :D I'm glad you like it!
