The Good Guys

Hey guys it's your favourite blog lazy blogger, I hope!?
Have been collecting some ideas of what to talk about, I've been watching and reading a lot, and especially I haven't been doing my real work, oopsies! Like for instance right now I should really be doing some work on my History Internal Assessment that was due in a week ago... Oopsies!~
Amongst the Series I've been watching were Once Upon A Time, Homeland and Dates, but those are the ones that I didn't want to talk about today, if someone really wants to know my thoughts on any of these shows, comment and I might just write something about them some other time!

Kat, Hicks, Rachel, Bill, Dr. Rosen, Nina and Gary

my favourites - Kat and Gary

The first of the shows that I actually did want to talk about was Alphas, a kind of X-Men-ish series that was cancelled pretty quickly but I thought it was awesome! *Sadface* It's been a while since I finished this show, so forgive me if I get something horribly wrong, or forget to say something. Alphas is a series about a group of specially gifted people, who were born with amplified abilities. They work with a human called Dr. Rosen who is studying alphas and their abilities, and they try to keep other alphas from turning bad, or crazy, or uncontrollable, because if that happens they have to be put into a special prison called Binghamton, where they get killed, and sometimes even 'sterelised'. The team is made up of Hicks (hyperkinesis, perfect mind-body co-ordination), Gary (transduction, can see and process electromagnetic waves), Rachel (synesthesia, ability to heighten all of her five senses), Nina (Brain override, can 'push' people to do things by looking into their eyes and talking to them [much like vampire hypnosis]) and Bill (increased fight-or-flight, resulting in increased durability, endurance, speed and strength). In the second season there is also the teenage Kat, who is able to learn anything by watching a video or reading about it, at the same time she loses her declarative memories every six weeks or so, to help her remember she vlogs on her smartphone.
I like this show because it is really original in the different skills that these people have, not just the off the mill mind reading or flying. I would recommend it to anyone who likes sci-fi, my favourite of the all is Gary, he's just a darling, and it's really interesting because this it totally believable. People with these kind of neurological conditions actually exist.

Stephen Amell as billionaire Oliver Queen

Next up, let me talk about a little show called Arrow, sceptical at first I put off watching it for a while, it just seems so generic, but after a few episodes of Oliver Queen & Co. I just fell in lovvve. Helps that 90 percent of the guys are tots gorgeous... Stephen Amell, Colton Haynes since recently!! So this is another superhero/vigilante who goes after bad guys... A bit like Batman actually... There's obviously a love interest, who I'm not interested in, I'd much rather have him with the awesome techie girl Felicity who is hilarious and really smart too, and part of his ''the hood'' team, so he wouldn't have to hide anything from her. Also an awesome person is Oliver's little sister Thea, who is totally believable and gets together with HOTTIE Roy Harper, you guessed it, Colton Haynes. (Because of him and Dylan O'Brien I am actually considering watching Teen Wolf I have successfully avoided it, because it looks like utter crap, but the hot guys just keep on pulling me in!!)

Oliver and Felicity - I ship them!

Well yeah, it's basically one baddie an episode and it all gets interesting because it seems like the ultimate baddies are actually Oliver's mom and his best friends father, Malcom Merlin played by John Barrowman (Capt. Jack Harkness on Doctor Who and Torchwood), so some tense family dynamics. I also love seeing guest stars like Janina Gavankar (Luna on True Blood) and Alex Kingston (River Song on Doctor Who). I absolutely love John Barrowman who is brilliant as a charmer and joker, but I never knew that he was also so great at playing a really really unlikable character!

Pretty boy Roy Harper aka. Colton Haynes

One of the coolest things are the 'flashbacks' to Olivers life on the island where he learned how to defend himself. The characters he meets there are really cool, and the transition from rich boy to survivor is really visible and interesting.
If you like Marvel and DC Comics you will probably already know this character and I don't know how much you will approve of this adaption, but all I as a very comic-naive-enthusiast can say that I really really enjoy this series and would strongly encourage to watch this!

One more thing on my list today! I wanted to talk about a book I bought at the airport some time ago, you know when you have a really long time at some random airport and you just go around buying stuff because you're bored, and then you end up not actually being able to eat/read/whatever everything you just bought because you ran out of time? Well that happened to me, I bought The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown and I didn't start it until some day where I shouldn't really have been procrastinating. I started it in the morning and I did nothing else but eat that day. I finished the whole 400-500 pages in one day. It's not that I haven't done that before, just, I haven't done that in a long time, I really should start reading more again, I love reading!
Well the story is kind of crime meets art and secret societies and religion and history and symbolism. It's all tangled up together and it reads very well as a narrative but at the same time it is really, really interesting intellectually. I am doing my Extended Essay on 'religious art' and I am very, very close to using it as a reference! All the stuff, sounds profoundly researched and really plausible.
So I loved the book, I have to say, I am really glad I did buy this book on impulse, just because I had heard that people liked it, and I was amazed how fascinating it really was. The end was not very good I thought, it just seemed like the author was tired of the story and wanted to get it over and done with. It ends up being a romance, that is not very well developed through out the story line at all. And I just have to say that bit, I wasn't very fond of.
But other wise... Again: highly recommendable, very interesting and totally engrossing.

The Story Of Getting Chased By A Deer With No Horns

''Review of the small things in life: Getting chased by a FRICKIN DEER!!!! (at least it ...: OhMyGod... I just got chased by A FRICKIN DEER!!!! So scary.  SO SCARY!!!! I always thought they were quite passive creatures... but no.''

Heya Peoplessss,
just another favour to ask... Acutally no. This isn't a favour, it's a blessing that I am bestowing on you!! This story is actually hillarious. I can HONESTLY say: ''made my day''.
The blog is new, my bezzie Laurita created it and it reflects her crazy pesonality and her darling dog (really it's the devil, even though it's ears are SO SOFT!) Zuza, and it's amazinnggg, so go check out and enjoy yourselves.. You can thank me later!

Dun, Dun, Dun!

It's been six weeks since I've last blogged, and I will apologise for that and tell you that it was partially due to the fact that I was just lazy as f*ck and really uninspired, but also 'cos I had exams, WHAAAAHH, and before you say summin like ''welll, shut the hell up, they don't even count!'' actually b*tch, they do... predicted grades are based on them, so yeah. If I don't do well on these.. I'm fucked for Uni.. I mean I know I can get the grades I need to get in by next year, but for them to admit me in the first place I need to do well NOW. Okok, rand over, sorry for being so aggressive.

Edmure Tully and Rosalind Frey's Wedding

But I am currently also over flooded with emotion from watching the latest fricking episode of Game Of Thrones. It started so well and happy making, and it ended so badly and horribly gross ans sad and just gruesome!! UUURGGHHH! Whaaaah, poor Starks!! And ohmigod the IRONY with Bran and Rikkon and Jon all in the same place. I was like bursting from the seams.. ''DRAMATIC IRONY! DRAMATIC IRONY!'' 'cos yeah, English Literature SL. And then I was sooo touched that Jon refused to kill that guy, but Ygritte still stuck by him!! I love her, she's so awesome! I hope they end up together.

Robb and Talisa 

And then in the next moment there's the Hound and Arya and their SO close to reuniting her with Mummy Stark and big brother Robb and it's all YAY *clap clap* happy!!! yay! And Lord Edmure gets married and when his bride is really pretty and Lord Frey just makes that face I was laughing so much!  As if he was saying to Robb ''thats what you could have gotten... SHAME!'' But I was happy that everything was happy and that Robb would attack Casterlee Rock and WIN and then that little "#$%& Joffrey can die. But I guess I had hoped too soon! Because DUN, DUN, DUN: After the bedding ceremony everyone attacks the STARKS and Talisa (Robb's wife) gets stabbed in the belly (F*CK she's pregnant!!) and dies. NOOOOOO!! And then Robb is crying on the floor over her and fighting and everyone dies and then Catelynn is all awesome and threatens to kill Frey's wife to make him let her son go unharmed, but he wont leave his wife so Catelynn kills the woman and then also gets her throat slit, and Robb is killed AND ARYA IS RIGHT OUTSIDE. Fuck. No. I hate it!!
I was sitting there with my jaw dropped down and like thinking 'What. The. F*ck.' and 'What am I supposed to do with my life now!! There is no way that they're still gonna win that damn war without Robb. And Joffrey needs to die.
Right now my perfect outcome is: The Khaleesi on the Iron Throne, Sansa married to a guy she loves, Arya part of the Kahleesi's guard or something, Rikkon heir to Winterfell, Bran some see-er or something.. Oh yeah, and Jon and Ygritte can also be at Winterfell to help Rikkon, and Theon can be master of the Iron Islands.. Oh my god, I JUST realised that they are now actually Orphans, that's so sad! Nawwww!! I hope that about covers it...

Daario Naharis - ''My heart is yours Khaleesi''

One more thing. The Khaleesi with Ser Jorah (who obviously loves her) or with Daario Naharis (the Second Sons guy, who is so prettty :D).. I feel sorry for Ser Jorah but I'll have to say Daario, just out of personal preference.. Seriously, have you seen him? He is such a wild cat.. like a Jaguar or a mountain Lion or something.. Well, I like him.
OK, enough rant. I just watched that latest episode just now, and I couldn't hold it in. This was the first time that I NEEDED to write in ages, sorry that it's been taking so long for me to find back here! I hope I find more inspiration next week! Bye byeeee!

Potential Graceling Movie Cast :)

SO, sometime ago I read on my favourite author, Kristin Cashore's blog that the film rights for the Graceling realm books have been bought. Graceling is my favourite book ever so you can imagine me leaping up and doing a little dance along the lines of:

Fangirling SO MUCH! Seriously I was SO happy! I even made my mom read that book, OK? It's absolutely incredilicious! DO READ if you haven't yet!! SO yah, the film rights were bought by Reliance Entertainment (Lincoln, Bodyguard, Cowboys VS Aliens) and so I hope that this endeavour won't take too long to happen!!!
But I guess that's not going to happen, it's at least going to be a few years, so in the meantime I can speculate along with the rest of the fandom!
Well, well, well, I really only wanted to write this post to discuss possible castings for my favourite characters! Yays! Let us start with the hardest of them all; the one and only Lady Katsa of the Middluns: So I was thinking really hard on this and I have come to the conclusion that she has to be small and lithe, but strong, as well as pretty (eventhough she doesn't know it), and most importantly incredibly fierce. So the actresses I was concidering for her role were Isabelle Fuhrman, Emilia Clarke and I also really like Alexandra Daddario, but she doesn't look quite elvish enough. I wouldn't mind an unknown actress to get a chance either, but it's just so much easier to find pictures this way. I know that all these actresses are iconicly linked to their roles as Khaleesi Daenerys, Annabeth and Clove but I just think that they all have the fighter qualities that make Katsa so special.

Next on our list we have Prince Greening Grandemalion / Po, he is another graced character, skilled with a kind of self conscience that makes him a great fighter, as well as a mind reader as long as the thoughts concern himself. He is lighthearted, charming, adventure seeking, unjudging and kind, and he later on becomes Katsa's other half. He is described to be tan and wearing loads of jewelry and due to other Lienid descriptions I think he must be dark haired. Not. I don't imagine him dark haired. No. To me he is to sunny of a person to have dark hair, I will have none of that Ian Somerhalder whispering (he can play Christian Grey if he wants to!). So for prince Po I was thinking along the lines of Drew van Acker. Maybe even - I hate to say it - Chace Crawford if you excuse his dreadful acting... Or Chris Zylka if he's up to a part where he actually get's to smile!! I'd say out of these six, it would be Chace with Alexandra, Chris with Isabelle and Drew with Emilia, these pictures I edited to give you a better idea of them, but now I won't anymore because the next characters aren't AS important. So, here you go, my three sunny boys from Lienied:

Now lets see for Katsa's friends.. I think that Max Irons would make an amazing Prince Raffin, Katsa's cousin and best friend, because I just love him. He's so cute and I want to see him play a more lighthearted role, with the blue hair and all :DD He is also a very clever, kind and peaceful guy, also he's gay but yeah, what actor doesn't like a challenge... For Giddeon, I do have to say why not Ian Somerhalder, after I so rudely banned him from being Po, I think he'd be a perfect Giddeon, charming, good looking, rich.. Likes Katsa but can never have her, tragic but ultimately funny. And now Bitterblue the little Monsean Princess, I have to admit I couldn't quite decide, because in the book she is said to be nine years old, but anyone I could think of was a lot older than that.. My top two choices are Elle Fanning, for her sweet and innocent look, and Georgie Henley.  Honestly I prefer Georgie, but I think she might look a bit too cheeky, but this is my blog so it will be Georgie! She might be a bit old for the part of young Bitterblue, but I doubt they will want to wait nine years to shoot part three, if they do decide to do the entire series, and I think she would be juuust perfect for Queen Bitterblue.

OK, now the rest of these aren't in the actual book Graceling but I have found some pretty perfect matches for other characters in my opinion. First of all, I'd like to say that I also really like Georgie Henley as Bitterblue because she can play the older Bitterblue as well, Queen Bitterblue. Her Boyfriend Saff is pretty perfectly described by Alex Pettyfer (I just want him in every film because he's so pretty!! Haha, get the pun?) Yeah, but imagine Alex with a lot of Jewelry on and a cheeky smile... Perfect.
Then we move to Fire also an amazing book about a very strong woman I find it SO hard to find any actress who could possibly play this Lady Monster. Fire is an incredibly self loathing, self conscious  beauty who is incredibly strong and beautiful at the same time, sound familiar? OK, for her I considered Saoirse Ronan because, imagine her with a whole mass of flaming red hair around her. Also, because she is pretty, but she's not conventionally beautiful, and I think that way it's easier to show that her beauty isn't like any other, it's magical. But then I went back to my dear Game of Thrones actors and decided, Rose Leslie would be even more perfect. Not just because she shares my name...
Cansrell only has a small role in the story, but wouldn't it be amazing if he was Johnny Depp? Yes, I know right? It's PERFECT. Also, Johnny with blue and silver hair would look awsommeeee!

OK, I think that's quite enough for now. I'm happy with that mini-cast I made the only one I haven't managed to pin down to anyone, who I feel is missing, is Brigan. Ohhh, and also Archer.. (but you know Viserys from GoT? I think he'd make a great Archer, I can't remember his name though!)
Well, I'd like you to leave me some idea's in the comments down below, if you too, are a MASSIVE fan of the series and have some ideas of who's be good, please no fighting though!

Here's the LINK to a goodreads.com thread talking about exactly THIS, from which I also took some of my inspiration! I love hearing what other people think!!!

Fangs: Love Nips and Blood Lust

Heyaaa, I'm back! Soooo, I went on my usual England Trip in the holidays! So much fun, I love seeing my British family and my older cousins! We did the usual stuff... A night out in London (we went to this cocktail bar 'Bluebird' and I had a drink called the 'Tiffany Rose' [what else? :P] and it was SO GOOD! Like seriously I was drinking it so much way faster than I should have that I ended up juuuust a little tipsy... :D OOoops! Well, yeah, we did that, I also went to see the Roy Lichtenstein exhibition at the Tate Modern and the Light Show at the Hayward Gallery! AND, BEST THING: I GOT TO SEE MY BESSTTIIIIEEE! LOZZA, I missed you so much! It was amazing to see you, and now I miss you again!

I also started watching a little series called The Vampire Diaries, mostly because it's on the CW, it's vampires and there's hot guys involved! It was supposed to be like a teenage kind of True Blood, turns out, without a few minor changes... It IS! Vampires can't be dis-invited from houses, daywalking rings, but there's still vamps and wheres and witches... The usual!
I think you probably know the story: girl meets boy, girl falls for boy, boy falls for girl, boy turns out to be a vampire... sound familiar?? Twilight much? Yeah but it's better. So Elena Gilbert is the main character, she's is portrayed by Nina Dobrev, who is super pretty etc, is in love with Stephan (Paul Wesley) and his bother Damon (Ian Sommerhalder) is in love with her. Et voilà, here we have the Human, Good Vamp, Bad Vamp sandwich we all know so well. Except for this time, Stephan and Damon are both equally hot, and at least for now I want her to end up with Stephan.. Even though I love Damon, he's a sweetheart deep down, and he deserves to have something good in his life. I find him hilarious, just as I find Eric Northman hilarious, they're both so cat-like and arrogant that they act all dramatic and shoot a bit over the top sometimes!

The Salvatore Brothers

Supernatural friends (vamp and witch BFF, werewolf friend) start popping up everywhere and death ensues. Typical, but I must say for a show where deaths are as gory - but maybe not as iconic - as in True Blood there is no sex what so ever. I get that it's a teen show and isn't supposed to be as explicit, the characters are younger and so forth, but it's supernatural my god there's supposed to be some rawness and it's supposed to get our blood pumping... *eyebrows raised suggestively* :P
I also dislike the aspects that are different as mentioned above, vamps that can walk in the day, my god they're becoming all powerful now!! Why? And if I invite some vamp into my house I f*cking want to be able to recede that invitation at some point! WHY Vamp Diaries, why? I understand that it's more realistic and dangerous and is probably supposed to make up for the serve lack of adult display of affection (;P) by an increase of suspense and danger, but this is just unrealistic. Also if there are vamps and there are weres then there must be some kind of curse (the 'Curse of the Sun and the Moon' has been discredited but there must be some kind of equivalent) and if vamps are able to defy that by walking in the sun, why can't were shift whenever they want or stop shifting at all..?

Battle of the Bloodsuckers

Both series are based on a different set of books so I'll just have to take them both as they are and try to love them the way they are, just as if they were my own children, hehe, weird metaphor :/ All in all, I prefer True Blood but that's because I've stuck with it longer, I've read all of the books and I love Jess and Alcide and Eric and Jason and obvs Sookie. The Vamp Diaries are really addictive and a great fill in show to numb my ''Saudades'' of True Blood. (Saudades is one of those untranslatable Portuguese words that mean homesick or missing something, hard to explain..) Especially as I'm feeling like TB is coming to an end.. Show runners swapping around constantly and the last season deffs wasn't the best, I mean too many different storylines and characters (seems to be a forté of the CW's, I mean look at Game of Thrones, not even all of the characters get to appear each episode!). I'll be really really sad if it isn't renewed but it's had a good five season run, and if they wrap it up well this season, I won't get too disappointed that they never cast Quinn the weretiger or let Alcide and Sook be together.
Enough with the emotional stuff! I've still got Game of Thrones which is only in season three and an absolutely BRILLIANT series, CW I applaud you: all the gore and sex you could want, along with a brilliant cast and script, as well as British actors :D. I'm not seeing that one going anywhere soon! Season three has just started and ohmigosh, I'm so exciteddddd!! I love them all, except for Joffrey the little c***! He needs to get slapped... Again... Over and over again. I also don't like Margery, but she's smart and I'll give her that,. In my humble oppinion a Stark should sit on the iron throne.. They seem to have loyalty and honesty running in their blood. Maybe Robb's girl gets killed (NOT that I'm hoping for that!! I like her) and then he can marry the Kahleesi... That'd be cool don'tcha think? My favourites Arya and I quite like Ygritte!

Finally found inspiration, hope you do actually enjoy reading my rants about stuff that really, isn't really of any importance what so ever.. See you next week, hopefully! :/
Ps: OMG, I just realised Paul Wesley is married to 'Melissa Hastings' from PLL!

Beautifulest Specimen Of Man And Music

Heyyaaaa Guyss! I know I haven't posted in forever.. I'm so sorry! It's just, I had holidays and decided not to post in them because I wanted to chill for a bit, also 'cos I was plain lazy and unmotivated. But here as an excuse for my irresposible actions is a gif of Finn Harries. This beautiful specimen of man has a youtube channel with his twin brother Jack. They are 19 year old Brits and every so hot! I've already posted about them twice I think so my obsession with these magestic creatures is becoming clear to you. 

I've been watching them for about half a year now and I am so proud, but also a little bit sad, to say that ''my babies'' are becoming famous! :') (It's sad because then they won't belong to just me.. [And I intend to marry this man]) Well they've recently been in newspapers and magazines and are becoming internationally known through their trips to the USA and South Africa, making videos everywhere and with everyone and gathering a bigger audience in the mean time! 

One thing, I think is really great is that they are part of a ''youtube community''.. Their friends also make videos and have channels on youtube, for example Caspar Lee, A South African dude who met them via the internet and now lives in London to be near them.. And is also one of my favourite males right now.

I really have no purpose for wrighting this post other than promoting my love for Finn and Jack (but especially Finn)... I found this gif and I HAD to share it on all of the social media because I love it so much! I mean it's so brain-shatteringly beautiful that I can only look at it for three seconds at a time! Hehe, I TOLD you... FULL ON obsession mode.. Not saying obsession is a good thing.. DON'T stalk people, OK? Except, like, on the internet where they dont know who you are :P And except if they are like Finn-Harries-gorgeous.. And if that is the case.. Stalk them from a distance, like you would stalk a deer on a hunt, but without the gun! HEAVENS WITHOU THE GUN! Don't scare him so that he will stop making public appearences or stop making videos or hire a bodyguard before I had the chance to run up to him and hug him!

Finn ''Finnegan'' or ''Finnola'' Harries - Beautiful Boy!!

Without further ado, I will leave you now to stare at this rare sample of human born with gorgeous gene... Have fun staring at those blue eyese and that cheeky smile..

Edit: I just found out that this fittie has actually got a girlfriend, sorry to break your hearts and destroy your hopes and dreams fangirls everywhere.. I was massively disappointed at first due to an obsessive streak that lies in my personality that I am not completely proud of, but after a few hours, the pain lessened and I began to feel happy for him. A) The boy's internet famous and super-hot, totally out of my league :'(  B) he's three years older than me which is the boarderline on my dating-age (don't tell me you don't have one :D) and also even more totally out of me league, so C) he's happy and I'm a loyal fangirl and decided that it was probably better if we just stayed friends anyways. 

Feel free to stalk her though, you can be sure I did, the name's Jo Dunbar and she's totall pretty.. Please don't give her any hate, imagine it was you, you'd feel lucky to have him just like she does, essentially she's one of us! (At least as long as she doesn't break his heart, then we can totally diss her!!)
