Fanmix

So, I decided to make a fanmix. NO REGRETS.

Track List:

1.  Northern Wind - City and Colour
2. Samson - Regina Spektor
3. Second Chances - Paper Route
4. Cities Alive (Acoustic) - The Darling Buds
5. Ghost Town - First Aid Kit
6. Love, Love, Love - Of Monsters and Men
7. Blood Bank - Bon Iver
8. History Book - Dry the River
9. So Many Roads - Fink
10. BONUS: Unfinished Business - White Lies [Mumford & Sons cover]

Listen here. If you guys really want, I can pull together a download link! There's not a strict theme to this, though there's a lot of love songs and biblical references. There's also a lot of mentions of travelling, and I think all the songs have a very similar feel to them. They're all very soft and I've been using this to get to sleep for the past couple of nights. It's worked pretty well! Anyway, enjoy!

EDIT: meant to say, Unfinished Business fits into the "No Quarter" arc, which is why I kept it separate  (I just made myself sad oops).

Picspams!

Oh wow hey new settings!

So it's been a really long time since I posted on here, but I checked on the blog the other night on a whim and saw that Robyn had made a post since I had last been on (which admittedly was around half a year ago?) anyway, it immediately gave me this massive dose of nostalgia and I wanted to make some graphics just to channel this burst of inspiration into something productive.


It's been a pretty long time since I made anything for BIGLY but I might try my hand at writing something, and I think you'll be seeing more photoshopped things in the near future. Mainly because, let's face it, I actually know what I'm doing with it now.

Anyway, thanks for looking!

style

wow, long time, no blog (whoaaah the whole posting thingy has changed and now it's neat and pretty!)

I'm bored with a side order of bored, so I'm playing around on polyvore making style collages and I thought I would try my hand at maybe doing a little somethin', somethin'...

I've put in their comfort shoes, and their, what I call, 'no-nonsense-hunting-shoes'. Okay, so it's not a snappy title, but whatever. I remember Shannon and I talking (forever agoooo) about how at the beginning of the girls' journey, they'd probably have really distinct styles from their old lives, but as they spent more time with the boys, you would begin to see little changes, inspired by their life on the road. Like for example, Emmy would wear her leather jacket more or Lauren would buy a pair of sturdy boots instead of the flats she used to wear to church. They would both begin to wear more layers and jumpers as they realise how often they would spend sleeping in the back of the impala on cold nights when they were nowhere near a motel. That sort of thing. And of course, Lauren's rosaries are included. I completely forgot we were going to have her be quite a religious character until I found Shannon's background notes and research! If I had the dedication to keep writing, I would love to have an arc that perhaps deals with Lauren's strong faith in contrast to Dean's lack thereof (which would probably be dealt with in 'Houses of the Holy'). I really love exploring these characters and exploring my headcanons and I haven't done that in a very long time.

NOSTALGIC RAMBLINGS AHEAD: I find it really scary that this whole idea was created in like 2009 and now it's 2012 and so much has changed. I feel like this whole BIGLY AU universe represents something pretty nostalgic to me, and I've found myself really drawn to it again (and supernatural in general, except ew season 6 what even are you). I feel like these girls came to represent a friendship I cherished, but unfortunately dismissed, and when I read over fics and episodes we've written, it's like I've gone back in time and it's 2009 again and everything is lovely. Hmm, I don't know. I guess I'm saying I miss them and I miss writing and I miss this non-existent world and there are lots of other things I miss that I won't go into. I'LL PROBABLY END UP MAKING FANMIXES AND STUFF BECAUSE IT'S STILL BLOODY RAINING IN THE UK.

anywhooooo~
talk soon xoxox
