The themes for Week 394 are as follows, you may submit two different CLAMP icons provided they each fit at least one of the challenges below. A list of series and galleries are available here for your convenience.
Conceptual: Confidence You must somehow represent this concept in your icon. You are not limited to using the actual word itself; you can use a variation of it, one that is similar in meaning or a related term. You can also use phrases and imagery that reflect the theme.
Image: Chobits (featuring Freya) You must use this image and only the version given, don't try to find another one to substitute instead. You cannot include any additional outside imagery with the exception of textures, stock photography etc. added purely for decoration.
Lyrics: One Last Night You must use at least three consecutive words from the following song. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation/letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &) or vice versa (e.g. ' with the missing letter/s). You are not allowed to incorporate any external text with the exception of tinytext/brushes that are purely decorative and not legible. Don't forget to proofread your entry to avoid potential errors.
One Last Night Jesse Labelle feat. Nixon
Woah oh's
What would you do Could you tell me if you knew that you'd never get to see me again Would you look me in the eye While we're running out of time And say you just wanna be friends Well that's indeed With what you know that I believe in That the world is very soon gonna end And you know the clock is ticking I don't wanna spend it talking Now I'm chalking up I should be your man I'll be the one holding on untill it's done girl Before we all perish I'm taking you to Paris
[Chorus] And if the stars fell down You wouldn't miss them I could move them Paint a picture like I'm Vincent If the ground caved in There's no denying We'll be flying around the world tonight You can call me over right now Let's see, we'll turn the moment to eternity Oh if the Mayans are right Atleast we'll have one last night One last night Woah oh's
If the world is gonna end Tell me where do we begin Cause we've only got a matter of time For what it's worth If we're walking off the earth Before we jet I'm gonna make your mine I'll be the one holding on untill we're done girl And when it's the rapture I'll be your ever after
[Chorus]
Girl we can get a drink and get to sipping it slow But tomorrow isn't promised That's the difference you know So if the earth got to rocking And the planet was doomed Would you ride up on my rocket And get off on the moon (What) And if the world ends by a meteor, right You could bring your girlfriend Then we'll make it our night Tell her it's alright Let's get into some trouble Drive a double double I'ma keep you up all night
[Chorus, repeat last two lines]
