+ I never realised this before, but so much fun can come out of watching a show you've already seen in fastforward 2x. I watched an episode of Robin Hood Series 1, purely for research purposes (and I'm not lying - I needed to do it for a fic), and decided to cut down on the 45 minutes of film to half by having everything whizzing forwards.

This was probably my first real attempt at a banner, and I remember being terribly proud of having done it. The graphics are taken from Mel Gibson's The Patriot and the words are that of war poet Wilfred Owen in his poem, Dulce Et Decorum Est. The main source of inspiration, aside from Owen's moving poem, was the British actor Jason Isaacs, who is ( Read more... )

A wallpaper of the wonderful Richard Armitage to kickstart the journey of this journal! He's so lovely and talented, not to mention rather handsome. He really knows how to bring characters alive, so thank you for that, Mr Armitage!
