THIS OR THAT

[sunkiss]

Eric/Deamus: The Gladious flower is beautiful..especially the second pic, but ya know...I'm a rose girl..I love the texture of the petals and the fragrance it emits..So..I'll go with the rose

Aragorn?

................................

OR

Legolas?

...............................................

[Doubar]

Aaargh, this is SO my question. ;D

Legolas. Definitely. ;D Though Aragorn is, in some way cooler even (and maybe I would now have to name him but I remember when I watched LotR back then I totally adored that elven char, so him it is. :3 ).

Hum, and staying with the topic...

Arwen



or

Eowyn



P.S.: @teti: great choice of chocolate there. ;D

[Eric/Deamus]

AS for character 'll vote for Arwen sure,, but as for actress i'm for Eowyn,,, who's also has awesome character herself, not as Arwen of course but i liked her extreme courage,, SO final score for Eowyn ;D ;D
Severus Snape



or Dumbledore




@doubar,, OOO you like the brown chocolate same club here
Oh and yes i'm completely with you Legolus ;D
As for the watermelon,, well it had been difficult choice for me for i LOVE BOTH MADLY ;D ;D but yeah you are right watermelon ,, it is considered as a rescue for us in Egypt against the madly hot weather
edit: when i said '' i guess everyone here will agree with me ;D ;D '' i was referring to choice of Zen Gesner of course not the flowers

sunkiss,, i'm just like you honey,, love all flowers generally ,,, and gladious is certainly breath taking ,,,, but still prefer the rose,,, the petals are way too delicate and i just enjoy sometimes putting them on my face if they fall down ,,, *silly me*

[Kalani]

This was a difficult one... but prolly only 'cause I'm not a Potter fan. I'd probably have to say Snape. Why? 'Cause I'm somewhat familiar with the actor, seen other films he's been in (such as Sense and Sensibility; really enjoyed the depth of character in Coloner Brandon), whereas I have no idea who the other guy is.

White-tailed deer


-Or-

Red deer

[Eric/Deamus]

Well, first it's nice to meet you Kal
Then,, i totally agree with you about your choice,, i love Snape,,, but it was indeed very hard choice because i really like Dumbledore but i prefer Snape,,,, well i'm big fan of Harry Potter ,, the second one is the head master of Hogwarts school for magic and is the most powerful good magician -like white magic in AOS-
But i'm with you in your choice

now it looks like the red deer is very strong,,, but the white tailed one is way too beautiful thus i think i'll choose the white tailed deer ;D ;D

OK,,, i hope anyone is fan of X-men i love them,, so who you prefer :

Young prof. Charles Xavier ( from first class )






well that was many photos for one chara ,,, excuse me ;D ;D

or old prof. Charles Xavier

[Kalani]

Hmmm... another tough choice - though not for the reasons as before, since I have seen and enjoyed the X-men films. ^_^ Both old and young have different pros and cons when it comes to choosing... I think I'd go for younger; it was definitely interesting seeing him able to walk around and seeing what happened to develop his character into what he would become in the other films!

Red-tailed Hawk (Big Red and Ezra <3 Such wonderful parents ^_^)


-Or-

Harris Hawk


@teti: It's lovely to meet you too, Teti! ^_^ Perhaps you could call me Lani for short? That way we avoid confusion with Kal (Kahlan). ^_^

Glad y'like my choice! I kinda vaguely recalled who the characters were and what they were like - read the first book - but I guess my choices ended up being based on actors and familiarity with them, rather than the characters they played in regards to Potter. lol And, as I said, while I'm somewhat familiar with Rickman, I don't think I've ever seen the other actor before, unless he looked very different before or something. xD

[Eric/Deamus]

Youpieeeee,, you are X-men fan like me
well great choice again yeah i like the old one too but my favorite is the younger,, because he is SO EMOTIONAL AND SENSITIVE too ,, and James MacAvoy had really appeared this ,, you should see his face expressions during the whole movie,, something that wasn't clear with the old one,,

anyway i love both hawks -actually the hawk is my favorite - and like the first pic,, yeah they are so caring and wonderful but again i choose Harris hawk he looks stronger and that's what i like in hawks,, not to mention that he looks greatly like dearest Dermott ;D

well i can see you really like animals -me too- that's why i change my decision here :

Dromedaries (one-humped camels)





or Bactrian camels (two-humped)




And thanks Lani sounds lovely to me too
ooh yeah i like Rickman too ;D and his style of acting,, but you should read the other Potter books too,, they are exciting and interesting at least for me

[Kalani]

Hmmm... I like them both! But...I think I like Dromedaries just a teensy bit more. And...awwww! those little ones in both Dromedaries and Bactrians are just sweet. <3

Arabian horse


-Or-

Akhal Teke


@teti: In some sense, that's what makes it so interesting, the difference in "expressiveness" between the younger Xavier and the older. That when he was younger there was more open expression, whereas when he got older, after being through a great deal, he's far more shuttered when it comes to expression (though not completely, of course, just not as much as before).

And yes, I love hawks (and animals of all kinds!) also. ^_^ Raptors of all sorts - hawks, falcons, eagles, etc - for that matter! I know that if I'd had to decide, I would have had an extraordinarily difficult time. I have always loved Harris hawks (maybe Dermott-inspired, maybe not... lol).... but this year I've been watching a Red-tailed hawk nestcam (Big Red and Ezra in the picture are the parents at the nestcam) and become very attached to that family. The young fledged couple weeks ago and it was an amazing experience - the whole thing through has been an incredible experience, for that matter, watching from the egg-laying to the fledging (and we've still been watching the family since, though they aren't at the nest too often, sadly. But watching them has definitely helped through a difficult spring, that much I'm sure of. So yeah, I would have a difficult time choosing between. lol

I suppose I ought to give the Potter books an honest effort, but the first book never really wowed me enough to be interested in looking into any of the others. Maybe it's because I'm a "Dark is Rising" fan and Harry Potter will never be as good as Will Stanton. xD Though time for reading in general has been... lacking, to be honest. -prods RL with zappy stick in hopes that it would stop being crazy- Ah well, maybe someday when I'm retired I'll have enough time to read all the books both that I want to read and want to try again at. xD LOL

[Eric/Deamus]

Well, both are just magnificent but i like the arabian horse more ,,

well still in animals too, here :

White tiger






or the yellow one





@lani, great choice again, i prefer it too,,
and indeed you're right about Xavier,,
that's amazing that you've been watching them and to be able to witness this experience and you're right it's amazing and incredible one,, i'm glad you found something to help you during the hard spring you have

About the Potter books,, well i read them all but i,m afraid i didn't have the chance to do the same for the '' Dark is Rising'' ,,, so i can't compare between them, but now that you told me about,,, i'll try my best to get the book and read it ,, if not available i guess when i google i found it was filmed so i'll try in this case to watch the movie . it sound very exciting the book

[Kalani]

Hmmm... Tough choice! They are both lovely... but I love the blue eyes on the white tigers, so I would have to go with them. ^_^

Rainy


-Or-

Sunny?



It has been definitely amazing getting to watch the hawk family. Watching their interactions and everything was just incredible. And seeing them fledge... it was like watching your own little ones fledging! Exciting, but sad at the same time.

Dark is Rising is a sequences (starting with Over Sea, Under Stone, which isn't quite as good as the others) of 5 books (if I recall correctly, it has been a while since I've had the opportunity to read them ) by Susan Cooper. I would highly recommend the books.

On the other hand, I would absolutely, ABSOLUTELY NOT recommend the movie they made. I made myself watch it once, just for the sake of curiousity, even though I had read all kinds of things by other fans of the books on the changes that were being made and just how bad it was going to be...it is not at all whatsoever like the books. As a movie on its own, without any connection to the books it's... mediocre. As an adaptation, it is awful. I wish they could do a real adaptation and stay true to the books, because they could potentially make an amazing film series and be relatively original in some sense (not completely, I know, but to a certain degree). The movie that was made that was supposedly an "adaptation"... was far from it. From what I read, others have said they made it somewhat of a Harry Potter rip-off. When I first found out an adaptation was made, I was super excited... kinda felt like it was about time Cooper's books were made into films, seeing as authors like Rowling have gotten their books into film format pretty soon (in comparison to Cooper's books)) to when they were published. And from what I've heard, the adaptation process was pretty fair to, for example, Rowling's books... but Cooper didn't get so fortunate at all. If such an adaptation had been done to a story I had written... I think I might go on a rampage of violence... >.> Or cry. Or both. xP

Anyway, I'll stop ranting now. >.> lol At any rate, I would definitely recommend finding the books and NOT watching the movie until AFTER you've read the books. And only watch the movie if you really feel that curious.... because, as I said... it is NOTHING like the books. Except whoever did costuming must have been paying a little more attention, as one of the female characters is actually costumed pretty close to her character in the book... O.o

My favorite books in the sequence? I'd have a hard time deciding between the "title" book of the sequence, (though OSUS comes first, technically speaking) The Dark is Rising, I also really loved The Grey King AND Silver on the Tree. And I liked the other two (Over Sea Under Stone and Greenwitch) as well. ^_^

[Eric/Deamus]

Sunny of course,, the rainy always made me feel very bad, lonely depressed and soooo sad,, however i love the rain itself but not the cloudy weather in this photo ,,

mmmm,
ok , snowwhite



or cinderella



@ Kalani,, so the books then i see,, the movie was very bad adaptation to the books,,
the problem is i'm not sure i can find the books here,, it's difficult but i'll try my best then

and i can see how much you love them you make me very exciting to get them

[Kalani]

Hmmm... I think I'd go with Cinderella; I love the movie Snow White, but Cinderella had a bit more spunk and personality, at least in my humble opinion. xD

Or maybe it's because, when I was little, I would correct my mother when she introduced me to people and then I would tell them my name was Cinderella. >.> xD

Belle


-Or-

Aurora (a.k.a. Briar Rose)?


@teti: ^_^

And yes... the movie was a very terrible adapatation. If it had at /least/ been an interesting movie aside from it being completely unfaithful to the books, it could have been forgiveable (like Disney's recent adaptations Narnia; Prince Caspian and Dawn Treader especially are far from what actually happens in the books, but it can be "forgiven", so to speak, simply because as films in their own right, they are very interesting and well done). But "The Seeker" as the TDiR movie "adaptation" ended up being called (at least the change in title distanced it more from the book xP) wasn't even all that good as just a film in its own right. -sigh- But I'll stop ranting now. xP My sisters got quite tired of all my ranting and raving very quickly... lol They don't share my love of the books.... lol

Good luck with finding the books! I do love them. I read the Grey King first and it happened to be one of those times when I was at my grandparents, looking for a book, and I just happened to pick The Grey King up. It looked interesting, and so I took it home and read it. Then I HAD to find the other books. xD At any rate, I do hope you find them! I don't know if it's possible to obtain them online or not...

[Eric/Deamus]

BELLE OF COURSE
i don't like Aurora and in same time i love Belle so much,,, how she love reading and books -common interest between me and her- she is so clever and wise,,, and has knowledge not to mention her kindess and good heart and being so MODEST ,,,, just love her ....... and love how they focus on her mind beauty more than just her physical one like in other princess

Ok now let's enter in a Genie mood ;D

the Genie of the lamp of Aladin







or the Genie of the lamp of Sinbad ;D






and Oh Lani that's so cute to introduce yourself as Cinderlla always
however for me i prefer Snow White the most between all the princess in Walt Disney,,, because she looks the most innoncent,, the youngest one,,, i love her baby face and her innocence,,, well can't describe what i love exactly in her very well
but Cinderlla looks to be so mature ,,, not that i dislike but i prefer Snow White younger age

but anyway it's just me

[Kalani]

I'd have to go with genie from Aladdin, for one because he's hilarious much of the time and if only because I have no idea what the other genie is like. >.>

The original version of Dragonborn/Skyrim theme


Or this version of the song by Peter Hollens and Lindsey Stirling?
www.youtube.com/watch/?v=BSLPH9d-jsI&feature=related


lol, I don't introduce myself as Cinderella anymore. xD I don't know why I did back then. I'm not sure which of the Disney princesses I prefer. Maybe Rapunzel from Tangled. xD

But I can understand why you prefer Snow White! She's very sweet. (:

[Kalani]

The original version is awesome, but I love Peter Hollens' and Lindsey Stirling's version best. ^_^


German Shepherd?


OR

Alaskan Malamute?
