“Spider in a ditch, she saw it all.”

I will now thank Elmo for creating my favorite star crossed lovers story
O God, those eyes. *shiver*
I don’t want you to die. Don’t kill him. Let him live. Let him live, don’t kill him. Promise? And don’t cross your fingers. I promise.
If you haven’t seen Lee Pace in "The Fall," well….
YOU… ARE… MISSING… OUT.
(P.S. It’s also a really good film).
What a mystery this world. One day you love them and the next day you want to kill them a thousand times over…
Alexandria: Was your friend a pirate? Roy: Sometimes. Alexandria: Is that how he hurt his leg? Roy: No, he… He does tricks for pictures.You know, flickers.Moving pictures. Alexandria:I never seen one. Roy: You’re not missing much. Alexandria: Is that what you do, like your friend? Roy: Just once.
We’re a strange pair, aren’t we. Hm-mm!
"… It’s the only take that took 17 takes, and I never filmed it. I kept filming like only 10 seconds, 10 seconds, and when Ilet him roll till the end, Lee was just so angry with me and with her becauseshe was saying really strange things and not acting right, but Lee has to stay in character… So the 17th take this is, and Lee is so angry because every time I would cut right here (when Catinca draws the curtain open) and start it again, and start it again, and start it again… And I just didn’t realized how badly she was going to freak, and I thought she looked at the camera, and I was terrified cause I knew I couldn’t get her near him for 3 days after this. But what happened was she’s kinda like an ostrich when something really bad happens, like she knows it’s serious now because I haven’t filmed it till this particular point and he’s talking loudly. She’s freaking out and she doesn’t want to look at him, like an ostrich… She would just look away from him and just stood right there…" - Tarsem Singh, taken from the DVD’s Director’s Commentary.

The higher you rise, the harder you fall…
It was saying that you were familiar with— an old friend just like the bitter taste on your tongue— as you stare out at the city that used to revere you. The city that used to look towards you in their time of need.
You were their champion….
Their hero…
Now you’re nothing but a husk— a shell— of what used to be.
Their cheers turned to screams as your world crumbled around you; by your own hand. Friends and family turning to enemies and enemies turning to something else.
All because of the saccharine sweet voice telling you that this was the only way to save them. To beat the evil that was coming you had to become something other than yourself.
But could you truly tell where the fabrication ended and the real you began?
Or have you lost everything after all…
Travel the Path of Redemption or fall to the Path of Corruption; each offering unique experiences for your MCs. Will you follow your own conscience after so long? Or will you succumb to the whispered wishes within your mind?
Unite with your old hero team— the one that you helped create— as you try to prepare the city, as well as the world, for a creature that won’t allow survivors.
Speak with your relatively normal roommate— the one that has been pulled into all of this— as you try to wrangle the new direction your life has taken.

Lucian/Lucia Knight - The Mirage [M/F]
32 [6’2” | Emerald Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]
“You think that sorry is going to fix everything? You destroyed everything that we built together! Everything that meant something to us you turned to rubble. Sorry isn’t going to fix this. Not this time.”
You hadn’t expected a warm welcome upon seeing them again— after all the divorce was still fresh on both of your hearts— but their detached tone, emotionless stare, and mirthless laugh, struck you harder than you thought. You were so used to playful quips, gentle humming before they swooped in for a kiss, and now it was like you were looking at a stranger. You couldn’t imagine how they must feel looking at you now too.
Isaac/Isabella Hayes - The Blaze [M/F]
31 [5’8” | Hazel Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]
“I used to think that I knew you but that all changed the day you turned your backs on us. You don’t do that to people you care for and you definitely don’t do that to family. I-I just don’t know what happened to make you do what you did.”
Your best friend— for as long as you could remember— that has never looked at you with anything but laughter in their gaze; even when you were going through your worst fights. Judgement. Hatred. Would have been better than the look they’re giving you now; confusion. They’ve never questioned you before— always believing in you completely— but now they can’t do anything else.
Kieran/Kiera Prince - The Hunter [M/F]
31 [6’5” | Sapphire Blue Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]
“I’m surprised to see you again, sweet thing, I didn’t think you’d ever come back to my neck of the woods. What is it now? Do you want to arrest lil’ ole me? No, you wouldn’t have that look on your face if you did. You need my help don’t you? Come now, sweet thing, spit it out, I want to hear you say you need me.”
A villain that you’ve met multiple times within your years of crime-fighting. Sharp intelligence being hidden behind cocky smiles and flirtatious quips— that can be quite as disarming as the weapons they carry— but one must never lose their senses around them: it may be the last thing you ever do. You may not like calling on them for help but you need everyone you can get in this fight.
Harry/Harley Adler - The Roommate [M/F]
30 [5’5” | Light Brown Eyes | Auburn Hair]
“Do you think you could have told me you did all of this before we signed a lease? What am I supposed to do if you die and the lease isn’t fulfilled yet? So, I guess what I’m saying is, don’t die, ‘kay? It wouldn’t be good for anyone.”
A semblance of normalcy in your otherwise hectic life— with a soap opera addiction and cookie obsession— they’ve been one of the only bright spots you’ve able to look forward to. Especially since they seem to have no idea of who you used to be; small blessings, you suppose. Their horrible puns, sarcastic retorts, and caffeine fueled rants, are something that you’ve cherished greatly.
???? - The Voice [M/F]
“I see everything, dearest one, I promise you salvation if you heed my words. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to protect you. Nothing I wouldn’t do to keep you.”
The voice you’ve been hearing within your head for the last two years. You don’t know where it’s from— or why it appeared— but you get the feeling that there is more to it than you simply hearing things. Visions— or nightmares— coming to you while you sleep adding to that conclusion; a gentle touch turning fiery as you awaken with a gasp. You just don’t know what to do with the burning sensation they awaken within you.

* Me phoning my best friend *
Her : MAY I PLEASE INFODUMP ON ALBERT CAMUS TO YOU
Stay yourself, stay curious
Silvery sands we walked over,
Footprints smitten but never forgotten,
Quite deftly destroying the perfect arches.
And how long shall we climb the ridges for?
When the light warms the time held in our fingers,
Running through steadily, yet fast,
Shuffling of only the crushed thorns,
Our bare feet sink into the
dissolved, ghostly essence of the past,
And we sit with the light, reminiscing the fall.
Lee pace from the fall, because i watched it for the first time yesterday after years of meaning to, and instantly fell in love.
Tarsem’s The Fall #1 - Resonating
The Fall is my favorite movie, so on many occasions I was confronted with the question, ”What do you like about it?” In this series that I’m starting right here and right now I’d like to investigate the reasons behind my connection to the movie. I want to start by the most personal tie.
When I first saw the movie I had no more than a vague idea what it would be about and a brief sample that I had watched just to know if it’s as beautiful as promised. As the story unfolded I was, of course, swept away by the beautiful imagery and the generous and unpretentious way a child’s imagination is translated to film but of course this wasn’t my first time seeing gripping visuals.
At the bottom of my experience there lay a powerful component: Much like Alexandria uses an avatar in the form of nurse Evelyn at one point of the story, I too have found a character to embody me. Prior to my first viewing I had had a very unpleasant happening with my heart and I was still far from having a ready medical report, so I was compressed into a two-dimensional state, consisting of uncertainty and fear, these very efficiently feeding each other. Later I turned out to have a manageable condition but at that time I was thoroughly afraid of dying. As a twenty-one-year-old this was my first time of facing mortality in its reality and eventuality. To me the way Roy took the defeatist standpoint was a familiar attitude, as I was also regarding my state very grimly.
Roy: “ It was the natural order of things... all things must die.”
The catharsis at the end of the movie, with the idiosyncratic added heartbeat-sound, could really move me. Although I saw no analogy there with my life, I still felt lifted up and hopeful, which was something I craved.
Months later, when I revisited The Fall, I had had new developments and I finally knew considerably more about my health. I was in no imminent danger but I was ordered to keep away from a very long list of kinds of physical exercise, which made me morose. I, a young person, had known the world most profoundly through times spent with the thumping in my ear, signalling that I was at my top speed or at the limits of my strength. Sports have been to me, what I’m sure is easily relatable, the place to feel very clearly that I was alive.
Deprived of this physical but pure joy I felt, and to a certain extent still do, that I had been handicapped, robbed of my physical future. I saw that I was restrained to the bounds of moderate movement and I was filled with the hateful expectation that my life, however distant from actual danger now, would undoubtedly be deemed to be shorter than what I had originally hoped for.
Over time my fears had somewhat dissipated but whenever I watch poor Roy struggle with his very physical inadequacy and his hopelessness I also see myself. The Fall is a story, in which people use a story to shape reality (had I no medical issue I’d probably love this movie most for being so meta) because stories, however escapist, have actual impact on the audience’s reality. I had always been invested in fiction because I understood that it has the potential to be almost supernaturally powerful, however, no story had cut deeper than this and none had treated me with more care than this.
I don’t want you to die. Roy. Don’t kill him. Let him live. Let him live. Don’t kill him. Roy? Promise? And don’t cross your fingers.
I think the original poster is a great piece, very artistic and can't be equaled. All that said, these pictures are beautiful mementos and give back a lot with much grace.
