Kaleidoscope

[culuyetille]

=]

I've finally taken the time to reshape Kaleidoscope :) I've tried to make navigation easier and to include some information I'd left out of the other website, such as graphic resources, ToU, etc. Clique-ty!!



It's now themed 'pineapples', I quite like the randomness of it ;) Oooh and on smileys, lookit, Caro, I learned how to make a pirate smiley P-) aw isn't he precious??

I really have a lot I'd like to share... my thoughts on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sin City, In Good Company, Scarlett Teh Bitch Johanssen (sp?), Fantastic Four. The beginning of the term, and that I'm now reading Yukio Mishima's Spring Snow - loving it! - and I'm about to begin Kierkegaard's The concept of irony, constantly referred to Socrates. That my schedule is now odd and all morning-sy so I have little time for internet and these ill-placed time-windows of an hour with nothing to do *shrugs* That I seem to be overcoming my virulent fright/repulse for driving, but I'm still pretty effing annoyed when it comes to finding a parking spot. And I keep having disturbing nightmares... *sighs*

It's also worth pointing out that razzleslash hasn't abandoned Grounded, one of my favourite Viggorli WiPs, with its gripping AU fashioned a la Brave New World (curious? Chapters 1-13 and Chapter 14). That chapters 17 and 18 have just been added to SW Ani/Obi AU fic Division of Forces, which I'm madly in love with. That afra_schatz has written the most tender, goofy-grin-inducing Bean/Orli fic ever, Not a Bloody Thing. *huggles* And WELCOME BACK, justinetre!! *squishes*

What I'm really-really posting to share, though, are the long-promised Paul Bettany icons. I should dedicate this post for no_me_toques and dormida; they are two brilliant writers who said they'd stalk my lj for Bettany icons, and omg, that was when I had the Ewan icons posted *blushes* Anyway, here they are!

(25/out/07)EDIT: because I no longer trust LJ with my material, I've moved the thirty-one Paul Bettany icons to IJ.

Looking at them, I've realised they've come off somewhat... well, they're quite simple and clean. Also, that I quite like them this way, even though I've got some ideas for more fancy designing... heh, we'll see ;] sofiaaifos has posted some very yummy Peter-Peter Colt/Dieter Prohl bases over at peter_dieter (Wimbledon slash), so there may be more Paul-flavoured icons coming. =]

anytime =]

[les342.livejournal.com]

OMG!!! I think I love you!!! I'm a huge fan of Paul Betttany and have been meaning to make some icons. Now I don't have to. I'm snagging 10, 16, 29, and 31.

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*lol* There can never be enough PB icons. I'm so glad to hear you like these, thanks for letting me know!!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I wish I had seen Paul in more things, cause then I would snag a million of these! Alas, I have not.

Oh and... why did you call Scarlett 'the bitch'? What do you know about her that I don't?

[psycho-llama.livejournal.com]

Oh and... why did you call Scarlett 'the bitch'? What do you know about her that I don't?

Probably because she's had Colin and Ewan in movies, and Jared and Benicio (and probably more :P ) in RL. Lucky girl.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh. I thought it was something she'd done, because from what I've seen she's a total sweetheart! And Ewan loves her. Good enough for me :)

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

too lucky. life is really unfair sometimes *gg*

;]

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

Paul? Well look up A Knight's tale, Master and Commander, Dogville, A Beautiful Mind, Wimbledon, Gangster no.1.

Because I've heard some very nasty things about Scarlett... such as her being a total bitch to Jared >.< and making snarky comments about Ewan. Plus, I used to think she was really beautiful and talented and all that, but the more I see of her, the more she strikes me as too full of herself. Bleh.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Oh.. hm. Well, as for the snarky Ewan remarks, did you mean when she said he kisses like he's 16? That was taken out of context, she was referring to how they had to act like they had never kissed before.. erm... yeah. I've just seen a few interviews with her and she seems very sweet *shrugs*

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

=] it's probably just me. I can carry a grudge for a sentence or something the person did...
And Scarlett also got Colin Firth on screen. guh >.

[psycho-llama.livejournal.com]

Lovely icons babe! Paul is so hot (esp in A Knight's Tale. Yum)

I really have a lot I'd like to share... my thoughts on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sin City, In Good Company, Scarlett Teh Bitch Johanssen (sp?), Fantastic Four.

In Good Company is good. I quite liked that one, though I was disappointed when they didn't end up together. Still haven't seen the others.. Although, going to The Wedding Crashers tonight, which looks like fun XD

Sp= Johansson. *loves*

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*nods* He is. And the gay undertones in Wimbledon! *dies*

I really liked In Good Company! I actually liked it that they didn't end up together... because the film was about the young guy (at a loss for a name here) getting kicked in the shins and realising his life wasn't all that, and maybe things could be different and it'd still be good.
I saw Quaid in this really suck-ass, old film on tv these days. He was charming before growing a belly. =]

Johansson? *takes note*

[sofiaaifos.livejournal.com]

Beautiful icons! It would be lovely if you would consider posting them over at bettany_icons :)

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

thank you =]

I'm not even a member, but I'll do it. Whee, PB icons!

[afra_schatz]

Lovely work as always, dear! Have I recently told you how much I adore your icon making skills? I counted my user pics and have currently 24 of yours in use. And that's only because you contstantly do icons of people like Brad Pitt *shudders*. I tell you, if there were more Vig ones or Bean ones or - ah, you know, I'd have 100 of 100 made by Lori :).

- I love this bunch - #1 has great colours, the wording for #8 couldn't be more fitting for the picture, I giggled lots at #15 and 24 and think that the wording of #24 would look very nicely on a Beanie icon, too *whistles innocently*. and #25? So tongue-in-cheek, love it.

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*HUGGLES* your opinion is always the sweetest, my dear. Ahahahahaha you'll probably learn to like Brad some day. Everybody does, it is inevitable ;] I maintain you just haven't seen the right film or picture. Because the man is too fecking yummy to pass *licks lips*
and you're giving me IDEAS!!! =]

LOOL is there some story with Beanie and broccoli or cabbage? Because there actually is a story with Paul and dirrty broccoli. I'll look up the quote for you, it was something else XD Aww I'm so-so glad you like these! *grins*

[afra_schatz]

Are you online, dear? My MSN is still on the fritz, but I'm on AIM and ICQ... *hopes*

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

....damn. I was on 'busy' status so I didn't get notified when I received your e-mail/comment. Well at least not until it was too late.... *growls*

[illstarred.livejournal.com]

Oh my. So much Paul in one place! :) *snags #15*

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

there can never be enough Paul in one place ;]

*luffs your icon*

[illstarred.livejournal.com]

Thanks! *pets Anakin*

[killthwight.livejournal.com]

Your icon-making skills ROCK, dear!! *huggles* Paul looks adorable in these, as he should! I <3 #7 and #9, and I'm definitely saving #28 for future use XDDD

Thanks so much for the crossed-fingers, dear. Essa semana estou entrgando uma pilha de trabalhos que não vão me atormentar mais. E entreguei hoje o EE pro Mr D olhar tb. Então está tudo em ordem. Só queria msm t ver! Haven't talked to you in so long >.< *huggles* Miss you, dear!

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*HUGGLES* I'm so-so-so-so pleased to hear you like them!!

there's something classy and rotten and irresistible about smoking, isn't there? I'm just... hopelessly all for it. *sighs*

I had so much fun making #7. I kept looking at the picture and wondering what wording could possibly fit it... then I did a double-take at the tie and was struck by lightening dorky remarks. ;]

Paul Bettany Icons

[justinetre.livejournal.com]

Darling, you never cease to amaze me!

Every icon has such care and so much love etched into the pixels! #30 is brilliant, the play logo, it's fantastic. and #31, a subtle ref to Wimbledon?
I adore the soft brushs you have behind he texts like in #12, #17 and #26, it creates such a wholesome 'completed' feel to your icons.
Man, I could go on for days about how talented you are, but I've got airbrushing to do!




OOoh, you're a Grounded fan?! *dies* That's one of my most loved fics ever! *dances about*

I found some delicious Chloe Sevigny pics (http://www.livejournal.com/community/celebritease/93226.html) for you to peruse, but I think you have to join to see. I might be wrong, but I remember you saying you liked her, ages ago. Looking at her, she would't be misplaced in the Malfoy family somewhere..


And speaking of P-) , what do you think to the new Friday icon?

Re: Paul Bettany Icons

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

...I have no idea who Chloe Sevigny is, actually. Not by name at least. Any references? *lost* But if she's Malfoy-like, I think I'm warming up to her already, ehehe.

And your Friday icon is gorgeous, dear, it truly is. *licks lips* We need some Keira.

awwwww your words on the icons have floored me completely, darling. *huggles* thank yooouuu!! Hmm I didn't have Wimbledon in mind for #31 but I suppose it does work, now that you mention it.

a wholesome 'completed' feel to your icons

*melts* you've just made my day, honestly!!! awww! *squishes*

Grounded is superb. ^____^

Have fun airbrushing, honey!!!

Re: Paul Bettany Icons

[justinetre.livejournal.com]

Ah, I think I've gotten her confused with Claire Danes in my head somehow, lol. Chloe was in Boys Don't Cry, Dogville, American Psycho...

What makes you think of Kiera, sweetheart? That's just a random pirate wench in my icon.

Re: Paul Bettany Icons

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

What makes you think of Kiera, sweetheart? That's just a random pirate wench

...there is a lot of sarcasm there, right? Because. *chuckles*

...Of all those, I've only watched Dogville. I think I'll google this Chloe person, you made me curious... and yes, I do like Claire Danes ^____^

[madra-rua.livejournal.com]

Hot icons! took #15 with credit

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

thanks for letting me know, glad you like it!! :)
