“Mighty Pair”

“I think that a good picture does not need colour, it just needs to capture the desired moment in time. While I was shooting Crested Caracaras in flight in South Texas, I noticed these two, which were perched in a very similar way. They were staring in the same direction and not moving, almost as if they were posing for me. I was amazed by their powerful personalities.”

"Si el viento sopla fuerte

cambiaré mis zapatos por raíces profundas

Dejaré que el agua subterránea de mis miedos arrastre toda la nostalgia de la tierra negra de mis pensamientos

No seré parte del fuego en el silencio, sino de la chispa divina que esculpe en las brasas de la amargura mi descubierta resiliencia

No es sustentable mi sangre si no brota de mis sueños como insumo

la semilla de la verdad no viene de las palabras dichas,

sino del corazón de lo inefable que me mueve

que lo mueve todo

No seré más ornamento de barro y pesadillas

no ocultaré nada más

no me ocultaré más en el disfraz de una memoria cómoda

la del fácil relato con sencillas letras y composición preparada

¿Para qué? ¿Para quién?

Si el viento sopla fuerte me aferraré a mi propio tronco como un álamo

Al fin y al cabo todo árbol reverdece o se transforma en una buena mesa o en una silla amarilla.

No hay más que esperar el agua de octubre, de marzo o de julio...

Mañana seremos árboles o ríos y tierra o mares u hormigas... "

do you ever draw a woman so fine and you just have to stare at your screen like a fucking loser. Like im not even being egotistical about my art I just can't believe women exist and I get to draw them and have them exist on my little computer

I haven't been drawing much lately, but I've been playing a lot so here's Dinorah, the Deathdancer <3

[diningpageantry]

i forgot my menorah (dinosaur shaped--we call it the dinorah) at home, and my roommate has forbidden me from just using kitchen oils in little tinfoil cups as a makeshift menorah because it's apparently a "fire hazard" and i'll "burn the apartment down" so :/

It’s time for the Dream Show Challenge 3.0 (*audience cheers*) organized by @singledarkshade

I’ve got this cast for : Kirsten Vangsness (Criminal Minds). Goran Visnjic (ER… sorry I didnt get creative in another nationality but the real one of him), Dina Meyer (DragonHeart), Ice T (Law and Order SVU), Rupert Everett (My Best Friend Wedding), Rhys Darby (Our Flag Means Death), Carol Kane (The Princess Bride) and because this is a Rip Lovers Place, imagine who will appear without a request.

CROATIAN STARS

Sinopsis: Evangeline tries to start a new life, and find a new love, a year after her husband passed away. She gets on a Europe Press Tour promoting her new book and getting in dates with not the best results. Finally gets back to London with her former family, a place she really don’t wanted to get back, never… why?

Characters:

Evangeline Reed – Kirsten Vangsness

A writer and journalist. She wanted to stay at his husband country, but Croatia is Nikola, and she can’t bare feeling him in every inch. Allysa, her publisher and best friend, decides that is the moment for a Press Tour of her new book and throw a challenge to her about dating with men again.

Nikola Kerr - Goran Visnjic

We meet him in flashbacks of their marriage. Evangeline remembers him and tries to figure out what he could say and do in most of situations.

Allysa Miller – Dina Meyer

The perfect publisher. The perfect best friend. The perfect adventures companion. Allysa will say yes to everything in the Europe Press Tour.

Donald Sieger – Ice.T

At Amsterdam, they met this suave American guy, and Evangeline decides to taste the yankee love.

Santino Fontes – Rupert Everett

They say that a girl in Italy will fall in love each 5 minutes, but Evangeline gets to the practical side: choose the most handsome, with the finest italian suit at the Editorial Party.

Ernest Reed – Rhys Darby

Evangeline’s brother, who host her little sister back in London. Evangeline is disappointed that passing time with men to get over his husband just managed to make her miss him more, and he push her to one more try.

Dinorah Reed -- Carol Kane

She is old fashioned only in the using of getting his husband family name, but this woman is far from the traditional granny. Ernest kids will get loads of delivery food and 80’s slashers on DVD instead of baked handmade goodies and old rhymes.

Jerome Twight – Arthur Darvill

Evangeline meets this guy singing the same song her late husband used to sing a lot.

Yes, I wrote the song lyrics, and they are cheesy lyrics, because I tought I would get a better development of the plot, using it, and make wordplays with stars and space.

You

And I

Stars crossed

Before beginning of love

As love was created for those bonded stars

In a crossed faith

In an eternal bright

The stars

The stars

Brights of love

Burns of desire

All trough the sky

Night by night

Lovers meeting

Lovers dancing

Lovers brights

Lovers burns

I don’t know how to make poetry, I never did. But I wrote the bloody song and I won’t keep It hidden forever :p

Episode 1.

Evangeline Reed feels his deceased husband everywhere.

At this episode we know how the couple met in flashbacks from places she moves on a normal day.

One night at the University Library, he came to ask her for conversation because they are the only students left in there and he doesn’t want to get asleep.

Surviving the end of semester, they started proper dating.

Back to present, at the end of a normal day she decides to move, and calls her best friend to accept a Press Tour of her new book which publication was delayed when she became a widow.

Episode 2.

Berlin. Allysa makes her best efforts to distract her friend and have fun. But everything makes Evangeline remember Nikola (oh yes the flashbacks).

By the end of the episode, Allyson decides to challenge her friend to get on dates, even without a romantic interest, just for meeting more men than the one in her memories.

Episode 3.

Amsterdam. Evangeline picks the first dude to date: finding him checking the underground movies from the Book Store where she signed books. He is an american tourist using his life savings for a worldwide trip. She has fun for a couple of days, until he has a train to ride.

Episode 4.

Rome. After a deep evaluation, Evangeline decides to pick up the man with the most elegant suit at the Editorial Party, finding that he is the main investor from the Editorial. Santino gives her three days of luxury, fashion, limousine rides, dinners at the best restaurants, just to find that they have zero chemistry when they try to kiss.

Episode 5.

Another round of dates at different cities, where she get fun but can’t stop thinking about Nikola. In the meanwhile, she is trying to persuade Allysa to erase the last stop from the tour or at least set her mind for it: London.

Nope, she don’t succeed, next and last stop: London.

Episode 6.

Meet the Reeds!!! Ernest is the kind of older brother that won’t let her sis to stay at a hotel, because she needs their childhood homemade dinners and a familiar room to pass the night, also her nephews don’t leave her side all day.

Dinorah is the kind of mother that never cooked and survived with delivery and his son cooking after becoming a widow 5 years ago.

Evangeline is happy with her family, until the adults insists that she needs to get out of the house and roam by London as an adult, because she left for University and met London only as a child and teenager.

She founds that the Cafe with her favorite sights to the city is still working, and she sits in there, looking at the early morning, wishing that Nikola were there.

Suddenly she thinks that he gots allucinations or she is still dreaming, because she hears Nikola singing the tune he always sang. She looks around and by the next table, there is a man, singing the same song, and now that she is totally aware of being awake and in the real world… he doesn’t look or sing like Nikola at all.

Episode 7.

The man looks at her, with the “Do I have something at my face?” expression that most of people fix when a stranger is locking their eyes on you.

She apologizes, introduces herself and explains.He also introduces himself: Jerome Twight, who is very happy because he likes her books. They roam the city, talking about how a lot of things had changed and how others stays just the same.

Evangeline is enjoying herself, not even thinking about Nikola, until… it starts to rain.

Episode 8.

Evangeline starts running, asking strangers to let them in their houses for sheltering from the rain that is becoming a storm very quick.

Jerome understands that she is getting a panic attack, and the complete scenario gets to him while she begs in panic to the lady entering her house to let them in, or the man holding her hand will die just like his last husband did.

He finally finds a shelter, a thin roof just enough for them both. Evangeline hugs him, crying and swearing at London and the rain.

This is why she did not wanted to came: Nikola had a weak inmune system and got pneumonia when a little kid from the Croatian Town where they lived went missing, and refused to get back when the rescue groups wanted to stop the search by a storm.Jerome tries to comfort her.

Yes… GETTING IN LONDON AFTER THE RAIN KILLED YOUR HUSBAND was a horror, but after some minutes of making her sure that himself won’t die for just some rain, Evangeline calms herself enough to wait until the rain stops.

She walks her back home, gives his phone number, but she is so ashamed that makes clear meeting again has very very low possibilities to happen.

Some days pass, until Jerome gets a call on his phone, by an Unknown Number.

He picks it up, and the last thing we see is his expression when the voice from the other side is Evangeline greeting “Hello. Do you know the chances of rain for today?"
