Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out



I've recently fallen madly in love with Florence + The Machine. "Shake It Out" is such a great song to begin with, but add the beautiful imagery and the fantastic costumes in the video and it just makes me love Florence + The Machine that much more.

Snape Cosplay: Severus in his Seventh Year at Hogwarts



Teenage Snape. One of my early Snape Cosplays. This is also what I wore to the Deathly Hallows Pt 2 Midnight Premiere.





This how I saw Severus Snape in his Seventh Year at Hogwarts. These are the clothes he would have worn while he was becoming a Death Eater. They are meant to be better than he is used to having grown up poor in Spinners End, as these would have been given to him by his wealthy friends in Slytherin. There is a detailed origin story for the coat in my fic, "The Seprent Cycle: Severus" which I was writing at the time. I have a lot of very good memories from those early summer months...

Alan Rickman interview on Arts Leisure Weekend



Yesterday, the ladies and I attended Alan Rickman's talk at The Times Center. One of my good friends asked him if there was a character he connected with most, to which he gave an absolutely beautiful response.

After that we headed for Central Park for some Cosplay and Wizard Chess. The weather was lovely for January. It could have been spring.

Snape + Lily - That Night (w. Deleted /Extra Scenes)



A friend was kind enough to share this with me. I'm not sure I'm ready to watch it myself however. We all saw the film multiple times together in the theater, but none of us can watch the thing on DVD, not yet, and certainly not alone.
