Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna, in die illa tremenda

Fresh off my icon contest joy, I decided to post some icons I've had hanging around for awhile.

There's only 14 this time (I'm telling you, I'm REALLY slow). Mostly Taiwanese. Two Korean.

Icon Batch 1 Here

I think I've gotten better!

Teasers


( Icons! )

After viewing darkeyedwolf's Yoon Eun Hye picspam, I felt the incredibly urge to icon her. So I did, and now will share! I only made a few this time, but I have a ton more ideas. Also, since I was making pretty girl icons, I of course needed to make one of Qiao En!

( More icons! )

Da Dong, Rainie, and George on Xiao Zhu's show 100% Entertainment (ie. my favoritest show EVAR!). No subs, but still cute. (Includes some random clips from The Duchess, and Da Dong being awesome at drawing on paper lanterns)



One of the best things about Green Forest; about a quarter of the time they speak in english. Like, ALL of them (mostly Leon Jay Williams, but Ethan and Esther have both kicked it english style as well).

I'm working on something... I'll post it in an hour or so. Depends on when I finish...

We currently have AT LEAST two feet of snow on the ground, and last I checked, it was still snowing. *sigh*

I finished Gokusen 1, and holy crap did I love it! Seriously, I love it sooo much. The whole Shin x Yankumi thing was totally awesome. I mean, it is SO OBVIOUS he's in love with her, and it's all canon in the manga, so yeah. And at the end of episode 12 when he tells Shinohara, Tetsu, and Kashiwagi that he's competing with them for Yankumi!! SO CUTE!

But yeah, Other than squeeing over ships, I really did enjoy this series quite a bit. Kumiko is a really good female character. She's smart, capable, and totally kicks ass. But she's also silly, girly, and oblivious. She's just a real awesome, flawed character. The show itself is kinda ridiculous, but in a good way. A very good way.

I'm only about 20 minutes into the first episode of Green Forest, My Home, and I can already tell the love triangle is going to break my heart. The same thing, like in Bull Fighting, with the loyal friend who is in love with the girl, but she's in love with someone else... I might end up liking Leon Jay Williams more than Ethan Ruan, but that's unlikely.

Some other "fun" facts about Green Forest, My Home;
- Esther Liu oddly looks like Qiao En in this drama...
- Leon Jay William's character apparently speaks mostly english in the drama. That should be fun!
- All the characters have chinese adopted english names (Su Fei = Sophie, Su Shan = Susan, Wei Lian = William, Ou Wen = Owen, etc)... like Da Wei (David) from Prince Turns to Frog!!
- Leon Jay Williams randomly reminds me of Gong Yoo...
- It's kinda hilarious seeing Ethan and Esther together, since Esther reminds me a great deal of Qiao En, so I'm naturally getting flashbacks to Fated to Love You... hmm... I should rewatch that sometime.
- Ethan is speaking in english and it's hilarious! Actually, he's pretty damn good!
- Esther is good with english too!
- Hehehe, there really IS a lot of english in this drama! Everyone is speaking it!
- And holy crap! Ethan is "playing" violin! Mmmmm violin....

So far the drama is good, but it's confusing me. I understand the basics, but the details are confusing.... Oh well. I'll figure it out soon enough!

Almost forgot!
