These images are HEARTBREAKING, I TELL YOU! But in a really good way XD
I still can't watch Ashes, and I refuse to acknowledge that Sam left (it just makes 0% sense, give that he gave up 2006 on purpose, knowing that the world he'd chosen might not strictly be "reality"), but if he DID have to leave, this is TOTALLY how it would go.
Of course Sam would try to protect Gene at all costs. If he told him, or made the others aware of it, he'd risk losing Gene everything he has (like what happened when Alex and Keats led him to the truth in Ashes). While I can accept that Gene did like Alex in a way (possibly just longing for a companion to try to fill some of the hole Sam left, or more, maybe), the way she deals with him and the things that relate to him, I really don't agree with a lot of the time. She doesn't understand Gene like Sam does.
These gifs/images are stunning <3 It almost makes me want to see it filmed. But then again, if I'd seen something so heartbreaking in actual footage I think my soul would be broken in two XD
There's another LoM/A2A community which would probably love to see this... http://ashes2life.livejournal.com/profile (a comm for LoM/A2A stuff, rather than just LoM)... If you stuck the images behind an LJ cut and posted it there, I'm sure there are people who'd also love to see this! :D
Thanks for the tip, I've joined the community as you recommended :D I had to drink heavily before making this post because it almost got me crying.. Everytime I think of this my heart shatters into pieces, I don't think I'll ever recover from watching Ashes. Oh I almost regret I did so. I know what you mean, I had to make myself rewatch some parts of Ashes in order to make these graphics and it was just so painful. Sam must have seen Gene's ghost because that is the only 'acceptable'(at least for me) explanation for him leaving at all in the first place. I refuse to believe he just decided one day to leave behind everything he believed in, and make Gene do such a terrible thing for him, even when he knew how painful it must be for Gene. This is the only thing I'm willing to accept as for what happened in those 'lost years'.
p.s. Could I ask, may I post this on your LoM community? If yes, how can I do it???? (I'm still not very practical with LJ yet, sorry ;_;)
Exactly! There's no way he'd just up and leave without a good reason. And even then, I think Sam'd fight anything that was thrown at him in order to keep that world he chose. I can imagine him and Gene stood at the pub, Gene saying "Go", and Sam saying "What, and leave you here to drown yourself in drink and fag-ends? No way!"
But if the ONLY way to protect Gene was to leave, you've certainly hit it completely. He wouldn't put Gene through all that just for selfish reasons. Sam can be arrogant and selfish sometimes, like anyone, but he truly does care about Gene, and he wouldn't put him through all of that unless it was to protect him <3
The Lifein1973 community is for things LoM and not A2A, so I'm not sure they'd accept it there... Though if you wanted to check, you could PM one of the mods, see if they think it's acceptable :) (I'm not the founder of the comm, or a mod - just an enthusiastic stalker XD)
The Ashes2Life community is for posting things where the line between LoM and A2A blurs, so posting it there would be fine, though :) (Plus a lot of people who watch li1973 watch that one anyway. And your gifs and graphics are more than welcome on the LoM comm :D) The standard procedure for posting graphics and things on communities seems to be to put them behind an LJ-Cut if they're big, to save people's F-lists from getting cluttered. The instructions for that are here: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=75 And otherwise, just check the comm rules before posting :) The guidelines are on the comm userinfo, usually :) If you need any help, give me a shout!
