looooooong post, Keanu and Orli icons

[culuyetille]

Hi *hugs*

I've just come from a fabulous extended weekend plus one class-less Monday. *super happy* dead_pen came from Bauru. ^_____^ I've stayed over at her home from Wednesday evening to Saturday morning *squishes*, during which we've talked, talked, talked, drawn (she conviced me to and I made the first ever Nightwing I found acceptable) and watched SW III together. Mostly we annoyed the people sitting next to us with a. squealing at Hayden and Ewan and b. she was explaining details and bits of the storyline to very ignorant me. We also started building her an on-line portfolio and among other things she drew this cuuuute, i-Pod-ish Jin Kazama. *luffs*

I have to say this post started when I watched Dangerous Liaisons on tv, a few weeks ago. Ever since, Keanu Reeves seems to be falling on my lap almost daily - as killthwight could see ;] *huggles* The man is everywhere!! At least all around me. He was in Much Ado About Nothing, on tv the other day.

*chuckles* My, my. I love Keanu, everybody knows I do. I think he's the purrfect man for the roles they have him in - fine examples being the Matrix trilogy, Devil's Advocate, My Own Private Idaho, etc etc. But that I love him doesn't mean I don't know he is.. let's say, not the most expressive young man. (as in, he seems to firmly believe that conveying emotion should be done by means of adding this little wrinkle between his eyebrows and narrowing his eyes).

It appears the opinion is quite popular, enough to warrant a counter-action by the fans who appreciate Keanu's talent. There is even defending_keanu, a LJ comm dedicated to defending Keanu from bashing. They say in the info that they feel offended Keanu is commonly pointed as an example of bad acting *snorts*

Thinking about the matter while scanning the net for pictures, I realised that what I love about Keanu are his hands, his voice and his eyes. Since he poked my aesthetical sense, thought I should make icons!

Also, recently afra_schatz posted some lovely Orli bases. I'd already fallen in love with him all over again during my visit to killthwight (I'm still gushing over that pic, dear!), and that post gave me ideas... and ideas became icons... *grins* Because him and Keanu are my two favourite inexpressive handsome men. I hope you like these!

On a different note, so it is that I've gotten myself into yet another cute little slashy pairing (and a new fandom too).

I've spent part of my day at ewan_hayden, sw_slash and similars... so you guess. Yup, Ani/Obi. I blame it partly on dead_pen, because she's the one who got me into SW in the first place. I fear for my sanity... I'm now irretrievably nerd.

I've yet to read anything I'm really in love with, but there is some nice fiction. Just need to find the right archives, I suppose. Ooooh wait, while putting this post together, a very interesting gem came up =]

Title: Dreams of the Avatar
Author: dakinigrl
Pairing: Anakin/Obi-Wan – set during Episode III
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: sex
Summary: Obi-Wan struggles to become free of attachment while meditating at the Jedi retreat.

But I've written this long preamble just so that I could pimp this very un-worksafe piece of artwork.

Title: A Quiet Moment
Artist: Jaxmari (imadra_blue)
Pairing(s): Anakin/Obi-Wan

Warning(s): Slash. Nudity. Sex. Do the math, Yoda.

...in Keanu's words... "wow". *giggles with killthwight* This post is long. But I hadn't posted in ages, so it's ok? *hopes*

Am in a terribel rush - should've left for work ten minutes ago *sheepish smile* - and will comment properly later. As for now: HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS!!! Those icons are so frigging amazing!! I feel our :-I muses awaking inside me again *gg*.

Pfft *hates new trilogy slash*

I'm an OT kinda girl myself. Give me some Han/Luke, Han/Lando, Han/Luke/Leia, anything really.

*hates Q/O slashers*

Oh, dear, these are gorgeous!! As I've said, you've certainly been productive as of late XD I <3 the fact Keanu's icons are 'soft' while Orli's icons are 'cute'. Tem uma diferença entre eles como pessoas, e acho que você refletiu isso muito bem nos seus icons!

Heh, Keanu's been following you while Firth's been after me! I say we are very lucky XDDDD

EEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Pretty, pretty Orli-icons!!!! *bounces around happily*

Ahem.

Just wanted to say hi. *laughs* I'm here 'cause afra_schatz told me you've just posted lots of wonderful icons. And she was SO RIGHT! I think I like 7, 19 and 22 best. :)

And I still can't believe this, because though I've always kinda liked Orlando, I've never been a fangirl. *hides in shame*

And I really don't want to sound demanding or anything, but...since you're obviously infected with Ewan McGregor SW III (as I am)...How about some Ewan McGregor icons? *puppy dog eyes*

I think, I have to tell you first, that I'm not really into Obi/Ani. I've always been more Obi/Qui, but it's all a matter of taste, isn't it? :)

Mind if I friend you? I'm not posting much so your f-list won't have to suffer from long, boring Irrlicht entries. :) And since I have almost as "much" time as afra_schatz, I don't comment very much either. But if this doesn't bother you...I'll behave, I promise.

I snagged some Keanu pics. I absolutely adore number 23 of him. I haven't seen him smile that big since Bill and Ted. lol
