Wives & Daughters: Wallpaper, Friends Only Banners, and Icons

[olde_fashioned]

Another perennial favourite of mine is Wives & Daughters. I guess I've been in the mood for Gaskell lately, and it's easy to forget how good Molly and Roger go together this series is. ;-D

Twenty-two icons this time, mostly of Molly, a couple of Cynthia, Lady Harriet (who totally rocks, in my very humble opinion) and a few of Roger Hamley. I also made a wallpaper and matching friends only banner, with complimentary icons.

As always, my icons are not bases, please credit/comment if taking, and enjoy!

Aw, now you're just being sweet. :-) I'm glad you enjoy them, as I certainly have been. It's not often I get so many fandoms wrapped up into one conversation, lol! Hmm, let's see, what else do you like? (ooh, and tea? Lavender chamomile for me, please!)

I'm not sure which is supposed to be pitiful, my less-than-an-hour reply, or your four days. ;-P lol. At any rate, I'm late this time!

Well it's not exactly as it looks...I've been Googling for TDK images to icon (shh!!) and some of the stuff came up in my search. So I honestly didn't set out to look for the rumor mill!! As for JD and PSH, I've never seen the latter, but physically he looks like he could pull it off. JD could probably play anything and be fantastic, but I've also heard David Tennant rumors as well. But I'm not familiar with him except in people's icons of Dr. Who, lol.

Oh, now this is simply too much. Do you mean to tell me that you watched Batman Beyond, too? Yes, you've described the right one, and while I'm not much of a TV person, either, if I happen to find a show I like (it's usually by accident) sometimes I'll try to keep up with it. (I never got into the whole anime thing, but Pinky and the Brain did make me laugh upon occasion, I must admit!)

HA! Oooh, verrrrrry good parallel, as I can't stand Ashley Wilkes, either, and you're right, they both give off mixed signals. *ponders* I always did like what Rhett said about Ashley not being man enough to physically be unfaithful to his wife, but he wasn't man enough to be truly faithful to her, either!! *throws rotten fruit at wimpy Wilkes* However I think Bruce is better than Scarlett...my goodness the things she's capable of!! *le gasp* Although they both are good dressers, hahaha...

Yes, yes!! Exactly! (I seem to use that word a lot with you, lol) Mr. Preston is very intriguing, and at least IMO, not 100% bad. He did wait for her, after all, even if he shouldn't have meddled with a child in the first place. Mostly I think he's sympathetic, but handles everything the wrong way. It's not his fault that he fell in love with her, but he shouldn't have pursued a fifteen year old. It's not his fault that she accepted, then jilted him, but he shouldn't have tried to force her or blackmail her with the letters, but that was probably out of desperation and frustration. Not that I'm excusing it, mind. ;-P

I don't know how actors and actresses do it, either, but I'm not sure I want to know. But after all, even "big" things like kissing have become so meaningless these days. It's pretty sad.

Hard to believe that you sat riveted and unmoved for four hours, or hard to believe that it was actually that long because it felt too short? ;-P I'm not a fan of Henry Lennox, but I do feel somewhat sorry for him, but significantly less so in the mini versus the book. His behaviour at the Exhibition irks me, but my brother is continually trying to convince me that he's seeing red at that point, all's fair in love and war, etc. (and my brother usually bursts in on my "trainstation bubble" with a resounding "POOR HENRY!" to spoil the moment and tease me, lol!)

That's perfectly alright! I don't do much personal blogging either but I friend people anyways. And I completely understand about wanting "real life" readers on your blog. ;-) So no, of course no hard feelings. :-)

(Happy Belated Thanksgiving!! :-D)

Yeah… I’m not even going to say much about my lateness. –blushes- I hope you didn’t think I totally forsook you, though! I had a crazy month, and I’m afraid it may get even more hectic in the future –pathetic sigh-. Even so, guilt’s not ever going to yield on this, and so I do apologize for being unbelievably late. :)

What do I like? Too many things, lol. For one, the Christmas season is near, and that's got me really cheerful. The bright lights everywhere, the music on the radio, the snow (which is starting to finally stick!)... I don’t know about you, but I just love love love the Christmas spirit, and it’s nice to have something to smile about with our world going through so many crises and problems right now.

Ooh, tea party!! ;D *drinks cup of tea with pinky sticking out in a feigned pretentious and cultured manner*

I’ve seen Johnny Depp in quite a lot of movies—he usually manages to do a good job with his roles (I hated the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, though. Ugh. The 1971 version was infinitely better, to me at least.). I haven’t seen much of PSH, either—saw him in Mission Impossible 3 and one other movie that I can’t seem to remember its name, but I can’t say too much about his acting with his being only the supporting actor in both movies.

I'm seen Doctor Who everywhere around LJ, but too bad I don't have a BBC channel on my TV. (It's what I get for living in America, lol.) Speaking of British television, do you know if Lost in Austen is showing in the U.S. any time soon? *crosses fingers* (I heard that they’ll be showing Little Dorrit and Tess during this year’s Masterpiece Classic season, so I’m really looking forward for that, though!)

You don’t know how surprised I was to hear the name “Batman Beyond” again! Yes, it is in all earnest that I say that I have watched that show, although I wasn’t a regular viewer. I can’t really say much about it with it being fuzzy and vague in my memory; to be honest, all I remember from it is some redhead named Dana and some evil gangs. I don’t remember the main character’s name, though… weird. O_o

I will join you in your rotten-fruit throwing! I have never liked Ashley Wilkes; imo, he’s probably one of the most annoying fictional characters out there. I dislike Scarlett in the same way I dislike Becky Sharp from Vanity Fair, yet at the same time, both characters will never fail to capture my admiration-- of course, not for their evil manipulations and deceptions, but in their determination to reach their goals and in their persistence.

I still don’t know how I really feel about such a complex character as Mr. Preston, but he surely gained some sympathy from me... Cynthia, as well. Both Cynthia and Preston have done wrong in their own ways, but likewise, you don’t know who to support because of it. At least, that was the conflict in my head.

It indeed IS really sad!! There are certain things in Hollywood cinema and media in general that just bother me soooooo much, and that is among the top 3. (Yeah, I could probably go on and on about every single thing that irritates me about movies these days, but I’ll spare ye. :-D) Why people think that everything needs to be sensationalized, I don’t know. –sigh- Nowadays, there’s no proper build-up for the “romances” in films, and that’s so distressing to me. And that’s why I often turn to the classics and period dramas for romance; they have pure genuine love, and every little delicate action, no matter how subtle, makes a difference. It’s one of the many (emphasis on many ;D) reasons why I loved N&S: their gradual, repressed passion. The shaking of hands for the first time, the tea-cup-hand-touch, those fleeting glimpses of pure love, that tender, ardent look Thornton gives Margaret right before the epic kiss (OMG!)... such a love like theirs is seldom found in Hollywood/contemporary movies these days, and it’s such a pity. :(
