It's like the age-old riddle: if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? What happens to our dreams when we are awake? Do they evaporate like mist hanging over the early morning surfaces of our minds? Unravel like so many lengths of unneeded string, abandoning name and face and shape to sink back to the

This is still all sorts of beautiful and achy, and I love how you worked your brain around a character who is so changeable while making it clear that she has some really deeply-rooted motivations for all that changeable. And the glimpses of Mal herself that come through make it hurt all the more. D: ALSO THIS SONG CHOICE YES.

[bombyx]

oh little D: face emote please do not look so distraught

I WAS TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING FROM THE BSG SOUNDTRACK BUT IN THE END JONSI WON OUT i think maybe i saw an inception vid with it, idk

but YES i'm glad you enjoy and that you liked it since YOU ARE MY RESIDENT INCEPTION FIC EXPERT and have probably read everything under the sun. also you're one of my favorite writers around (YES STILL DEAL WITH IT sunglasses) so your opinion AS ALWAYS = huge.

I FEEL LIKE THERE COULD BE SOMETHING VERY APPROPRIATE IN BSG'S MUSIC BUT I DO NOT MIND THE PERFECTION OF JONSI INSTEAD

also just fffffffffffffffffff YOU ARE WONDERFUL

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

From first word to last OH MY GOD MY HEART

[bombyx]

/HOLDS THIS HEART OH SO CLOSe sob

I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM i was trying to do a third person sample for an rp game app and LO AND BEHOLD ;; needless to say if there is PAIN and SUFFERING and suggestions of violence I'M THERE (i feel like this shows poorly on my personality but WHATEVER). I AM SO GLAD YOU ENJOY :( (or at least i'm assuming that aaa is at least marginally enjoyment IN AN ACHEY WAY. LIKE READING JANE EYRE OR SOMETHING)

also. ALSO. i didn't get back to you on that PM and if you've still got it, I'd totally buy it off you (the film) -- how many rolls have you got?

[attilatehbun]

IT WAS A GOOD aaaaaa IT WAS A VERY GOOD aaaaaaa FOR YOU IT WILL ALWAYS BE A GOOD aaaaaaa (not so much a good aaa ever for Jane Eyre tho lol sorry). And all I see it reflecting on your personality is that you are BRILLIANT, so nyeh. <3 <3 <3

Oh oh no, you can just have it! I got in one of those super cheap impulse buy Internet sales (probably why I failed to pay attn in the rush of MUST BUY CHEAP FILM MUST) and I paid like $4. I just want someone to be able to USE it. So it's yours! :D It's three rolls.

[bombyx]

WHY AM I THE ONLY PERSON I KNOW THAT LOVES JANE EYRE WITH A FIERY PASSION? sobs. well either way I AM GLAD it was the good kind of aaaaaaa cause bad kinds of aaaaaaaaa evoke mental images of running around with hair on fire, etc etc -- none of it pleasant. AND YOU DESERVE PLEASANT THINGS IN YOUR LIFE.

also, wow can i just say that WAS pretty cheap i hope that shipping it to my ass in jersey won't cost you more than that :P but seriously THAT WAS REALLY CHEAP was it a deal online or something?

double also i like how your icon went from QUESTIONABLE to ADORABLE :(

I am in love with this and I AM LIKE everything I CAN CROSS CROSSED that she gets in ;_; I know that if not it's not your app it's just the questionable tangibility of the character but auijotklwesdfuojlk me and Nelly want you so badly ahahau9owjlkemfsduojlk screaming forever.......

I really love your writing T_T and I love your Mal. AND I'd be super more articulate if not for the bass of those motherfuckers down stairs. Um.

In having BONES on in the background, I realized this actually works for the sadness facet of Mal's shade - the one that's longing and you VERY NEARLY feel bad for her and then it's like oh derp but still, STILL:

I've been on the edge of my chair
Waiting for circumstance to be kind
All this time I've been waiting
Wishing wishes
Now I'm jaded sitting here
On the edge of my chair

All the while
Life continued without me
The world went by and by

My mind feels like an empty room
I'm the only one inside and my thoughts are cruel
Waiting has become my prison
I feel unbearably distant
Sitting here on the edge of my chair

The world went by and by
The world went by and by
All the while life continued without me
The world went by and by...

scream i went to the apps page and was like SCREAM THEY'VE PROCESSED EVERYBODY BUT ME IT'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER BEING HER ISN'T IT OR THE DREAM STUFF OR SOMETHING ;____; <-- and then i made this face. i will make eye water :((((

THOUGH i guess if she doesn't get in i could try and app aria instead if you wanted one of HER. MAYBE. if i get over making the eyewater of rejection in time.

also. THIS FUCKING SONG. is just SO SPOT ON. and i agree, it's like YOU DO KIND OF FEEL BAD FOR HER and then oh wait she just shanked someone in the spine again whoops >> ;; /CAN NEVER INVITE HER TO THE FLASH PARTIES.
