We had to make inspirations posts for lands_of_magic. My first theme choice is 'love' (I didn't make any of the videos or images used here). :D

"Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much a heart can hold." –Zelda Fitzgerald

"Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time." –Maya Angelou

That's a whole lot of love! ;D

"I believe in people who I believe believe in love." The Real Tuesday Weld.

I went all in on the theme! :D

That's a good quote! Thank you for sharing! There are so many that I didn't get to - I could've definitely kept going lol

[corvidology]

I consider myself a cynical romantic, hoping for the best but expecting the worse. That Real Tuesday Weld quote basically sums up my approach to life and whose opinions I choose to listen to on the world at large.

[svgurl]

That's reasonable! I think I'm a sap when it comes to fictional stuff (or other people) but not as much with myself. And it makes sense- not to generalize but I do think that is the right type of people to be around and listen to, for the most part.

Another one I'm definitely going to want to remember when the next part of the challenge comes! I've always loved those banners that have "I love you" and other such phrases in multiple languages. I can't watch the videos at the moment, but there are a TON of great quotes here. My favorites, though, by far are Clark and Luke; those sayings are just AMAZING!!!!!! And although I'm sure Clark aimed that at Lois, I can SO see some great CLex coming from that!!!!! <3 <3 <3

There's been a lot of great theme choices - I'm sure I'll have difficulty choosing. I am glad no one already went with 'love' before me. I saw someone posting about their word in many languages in a themed post and I thought that was really cool. When I found the image, I was happy to have that option.

I don't really remember which episode the Luke quote came from weirdly enough, but I liked it. As far as Clark goes, it's one line from a longer speech but it is to Lois, or well, an Alternate Universe Lois who doesn't like/trust her Clark and he's trying to convince her that he's a good guy. I don't ship Clex but I'm sure that line alone is neutral enough that it can work for other Clark ships.

[apachefirecat]

Oh, yeah! Or just about any other ship for that matter! :)

Girl, you are making me actually WANT to watch Gilmore Girls -- which I haven't since, I think, their second season aired!!

That's what I was thinking too. I could definitely see it for a few more of mine.

LOL Well, if it helps, a lot of people do seem to believe the earlier seasons are better than the later ones.

I love all the love in this theme! ♥

[greghousesgf]

Thanks! It would certainly be nice - hopefully you get that one day.
