Book trailers are a tricky thing. When they're done badly, they're a little cringey and vaguely embarrassing. But when they're done right, they're AWESOME.
And because we have the incomparable Mr Tom Percival working on our trailers, we pretty much fit into the awesome category every single time.
I love the fact that it's time to release this. We have other stuff yet to be released/announced, such as what EXACTLY the Theatre of Shadows is and how it can involve everyone around the world. We're always trying to find ways to include our far-flung readers in the fun, and I think we've come up with something special.
But enough from me... Behold the awesome.

«Oldest ‹Older 3401 – 3600 of 4465 Newer› Newest»-I walk towards Sophia, reaching my hand out-
I like you.
*tilts head* I wish the feelings were mutual.
They will be, don't worry.
I sincerely doubt that.
(Hello, I'm here now!)
(Hello fellow bloggians.
Let us be proud! Let us be grateful.
Let us rejocify that goodness could subdue
The wicked workings of, you-know-who
Isn't it nice to know
That good will conquer evil.
The truth we all believe'll
By and By!
Outlive a lie!
For you and-
NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED!)
(Hello Silente. *hugs her*)
(Hello Soph. *hugs back* how are you?)
(Average. Yourself?)
(average. *winks*)
(How are you without the use of the word average?)
(I'm good!
Hey Sil!!!!!!!
How be's both of yous eyes?!)
(My eyes are fine, thank you.)
(Oh, goody gum drops!)
I return.
Hello Sophia, Dugglyn, Silente and Icarus.
How are you?
(My eyes are good.
Without the word average? Non existant.)
(I am depressed and a little pissed off. Yourself?)
(Has the blog descended into silence?)
(*hugs Sophia*)
(*hugs Silente back*)
(wanna rp?)
(Yes, but I'm afraid I cannot currently. Dragona is out, but he will be back home in a few hours.)
(Ah okay. That fine. What's he doing?)
(Travelling to the supermarket. *sighs*)
(He's shopping?)
(He will be. I hate shopping.)
I went ro school today to find that my friend C has transformed into a stalker overnight.
She was talking to this boy in PE yesterday, and apparently she's not attracted to him, but he was so clever and witty and she was really surprised because he's one of those quiet people that never says anything, and she is, for some reason, FASCINATED with him and intent on finding out all this stuff about him, and today she was asking everyone if they knew anythign about him and if so, what . . .
It reminds me of the obsessions I get with random foods sometimes. Except I don't get these obsessions with people. Which I think might be pratially down to the social implications of being obsessed with people, which is interesting too. :P
Anyway, C, and by extension me, now knows that this boy is in an English class for people who have dyslexia and stuff, he's in top set science, he's not in top set maths, he's really religious and he's a bell-ringer in Hutham, he has two or possibly three little sisters, two of which are called Willow and Blossom, and Willow is quiet too but not as quiet, and he goes to a board game club some lunchtimes.
:P
C also says that it's annoying because she can't ask him about any of the stuff he knows without him knowing, so she'll have to subltly bring it up. :P
C also told me that she half-stalked me once O_O, when she first met me. And she also subtlying brought stuff up O_O, and I asked her what she brought up, but she said she couldn't remember -_-. And I asked her why she stalked me, and she said it was because I was really strange, and because she didn't normally see me with people, and she was kind of interested in loner people.
:P
So there you go. :) :)
(Hello, Star. How are you?)
(Hmm. C the sadist stalker... Or would it be stalker sadist?)
(Soy I poofed. I had to do a test that the 6th graders were doing in class (I'm TAing) Gtg:
(I will be back soon.)
(Silente, where did you get that C is a sadist?)
(Hi, Star!)
@Tia: I've previously mentioned it. :P
@Sil: Sadist stalker. :) It sounds better. :)
@Sophia: Good, thanks. :) How's everyone else?
Oh, yeah. Hi everyone! :)
Hi, y'all. :)
@Star: *laughs* :P
I think sometimes I find people interesting and look out for things to do with them, and slowly build up a sort of profile in my head of learning about them? But never that quickly, yeah. :P
@Taia: :P See, I don't have the confidence to run up to every person I see going "DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HARVEY PLOUGH?", so. XD
Hi!
(Hi Taia and Star!
*hugs them both*
How you doing guys? :D)
*every person I know
Fine, thanks, Tia! :) How're you? :)
@Star: XD
Nah, I don't do THAT. :P
BUt I semi-consciously look out for things, I learn by deduction. :P
But maybe C is just that, but with confidence-boost, and, like, accelerated?
And so maybe I'm a low-level stalker. O_O
...But I wouldn't label myself as a stalker, at all.
And it's weird how there are sudden lines where a thing stops becoming one thing and suddenly is another.
And how those lines vary, too.
And yeah. :)
Yes! Hi! :P
*hugs Tia back*
I'm good, thanks! Only, a little tired, and also my eye hurts. But good, yeah. :)
How're you?
@Taia: I wouldn't label her as a stalker either - only jokingly. So you're definitely not a stalker. :)
See, I don't really semi-conciously look out for people . . . O_O I just file things about people as they naturally pop up in my lessons and such.
I think that's possibly due to my lack of paying attention, and most possibly due to my fear of the social implications of being interested in a particular person, which I've been sort of subconciously scared about for quite a while, I'm realising . . .
Yeah, it's cool. :) :)
. . . Unfair, often, though. :/
:O
Your eye hurts??
*thinking of Dugglyn and how mosttimes, people don't have interesting things to say about their eyes, but THIS TIME TAIA DOES and DUGGLYN ISN'T HERE DAMMIT :P*
Argh, Taia and Tia at the same time . . . :O Scary. :P Sorry if I get your names wrong. :/
AND THEN OF COURSE MY MUM IS PRACTICALLY A SPY THE WAY SHE OBSERVES EVERYONE, BUT. XD
(I'm good, just a bit distant. Whatcha guys doing?)
French, but all I'm doing is arranging bits of writing into a different order, so it's easy. After this I have further maths . . . :O
It's my sister's birthday on Monday, so I'm going to a theme park tomorrow with her and our parents and my sister's friends, so that's cool. :)
WhatCHA doing, Tia? :)
Yeah . . . and I'm also distant. XD I'm trying to comment every song, but the songs are a bit long. O_O
@Star: Yeah, I know, I get that, it just made me think. :P
Huh, see, I kind of do that, but, like, there are some people where my brain doesn't pick stuff up and there are some where it DOES and I don't know how it selects people because it just seems random to me? :P
Like, I can look around my bus, and see some people whom I just have acquired much knowledge of over time, and I pick things up really quickly. And then I see others who I have also been exposed to for years, and some I've known since even earlier, but I have much less information banked about them.
And, idk why, because it's the same information available, but I'm selectively seeing things. Idk. :)
And, that learning about people all happens in my head, like, I don't tend to ASK about people, so society can't see to imply, I guess. :P
And, yeah. :/
ANd- XD I THOUGHT THE VERY SAME THING. :P
ANd also no worries, I confuse myself with Tia sometimes. :P
(Reading/youtube, Star.)
(I am back somewhat.)
(Hello, Sophia. I am here as well.)
(sorry, had to go do a thing)
I'm.. not sure what I'm doing yet. :P
I have homework, and several unit tests over the next couple of weeks, and an OU course which I'm already behind on.
But I don't really feel like working, so I'm kinda just sitting here with my mind? :)
Sounds like that could be fun, Star. :)
Hi, Sophia! :)
(Hello Tia and Taia. How are you both?)
@Taia: Ah, I get it. :)
Yeah . . . there's these identicaltwins who get on my bus, and I'm really interested in them, because one of them - her and her friends seem really nice. :) And then I'm obviously interested in both of them because identical twins interest me (as they do most people, I guess).
And yeah.
There's also this girl in my sister's year on my bus who I'm interested in for some reason.
And there's these girls at the front of my bus who seem really bicthy so I'm fascinated by them in the way that I'm fascinated by most bitchy people - like, what goes on in their heads?
And then there's these two girls in my sister's year on my bus who always seem to argue for the sake of arguing. And that fascinates me. I mean, they don't DEBATE - they FALL OUT and they keep arguing over who is in the right.
O_O
So yeah . . . @Taia: I guess I do that too. :P
Mmh. But I've been scared of being interested in people for quite a while. :P
You confuse YOURSELF with Tia? O_O
There's these identical twins in my history class, and one of them sits opposite me, and the girl who sits diagonally opposite him was asking if it was weird being and identical twin, and she was asking about people forgetting who's who, and she was like (to him) "Do you forget who you are?" and he was like "Of course not, I mean, I'm in my head and my brother's not" and she was like "Yeah, but do you ever just look in the mirror and think "Hang on, I don't know whether I'm me or my brother here" and we were like "How the hell would he do that?" and . . . XD
Idk if I'm making it sound funny, but it was. :P
Anyway - how do you confuse YOURSELF with Tia? :P
Wbd, Sophia. :)
@Tia: Ah. That sounds fun. :)
I'm not bad, thanks Sophia. :) And yourself? ^^
(Depressed. Happy you're here though.)
*diagonally oppsoite me/next to him
*an identical twin
@Tia: :/ *hugs*
(Hello Star, how are you?
I am depressed and a little pissed off, Taia. And slowly being driven insane by a song which says, "You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait."
Why is that, Tia?)
@Sophia: :(
I'm fine, thanks.
*sends long distant cuddle to Danni*
If she answers that before I get back, make sure she sleeps.
In year ten, me and that identical twin and the girl I sit next to in history all sat on the same table. This year, we have the addition of the girl who sits diagonally opposite me, and . . .
Some people just lighten up a place, don't they? I mean, we didn't really used to talk much before she arrived, and the conversation was kind of boring, but now history is kind of fun, because she's just a really fun person, conversationally. And it just like of . . . it's like she electrified it, in a way.
C does that, I guess.
I guses some people are just like that . . . and when they're gone, the rest of us just sit of sit there disjointedly in awkward silence, because we just don't have the spark necessary to light up the sparks.
(I have met several people who are like that, Star.)
@Star: Huh, yeah. :)
*laughs* XD
I guess that's a nice example of how the way you look isn't necessarily the way you are, kind of. :)
And, yeah. :P
Often times I'll just type Tia's name I'll be like
WAIT THAT'S ME WHAT AM I DOING??
And then I'll start backspacing, and then there's this instantaneous system where I'll realise WHAT I'm backspacing, and just kind of be confused like why am I responding to myself in that way? but not in words, just a series of particular question marks,
And then I'm rewinding and it's Tia:)!, and that fleeting moment of identity crisis is negligible and then gone. :)
*hugs Tia* :(
I hope you're feeling better soon. :/
@Sophia: Oh, I hope YOU'RE feeling better soon, too. :/
*hugs Zaf*
@Star: I know exactly what you mean by that.
And also some lighters are different from others and it makes the type of conversation different, like burning a different substance gives different coloured flames? :)
@Sophia: :) *nods* Yeah. Me too, I guess. :)
My entire interpretation of society probably comes from sitting with people in lessons. O_O That is kind of how I get to know people and society in general.
. . .
That's sad. O_O
ANYWAY, on that subject, sometimes you just have those people who have nothing better to do than sit there and make fun of people in order to have a laugh.
-_-
@Taia: *laughs* XD XD
Oh dear . . . :P
See, I don't have any Stas or Sars, so I'm okay. :P
My given name is Holly, though. It's relatively common. And I sort of have this thing where the other Holly's name just feels like them insetad of like me . . . so I can think of them as Holly without ever getting a sense for it being my name, which is cool, I guess. :)
. . . But of course, when people say "Holly" to them, I keep jumping and looking up. :P
@Taia: *tilts head*
I guess so.
Like those people who " have nothing better to do than sit there and make fun of people in order to have a laugh" can often be lighters, but it feels entirely different because it's a different coloured flame.
And I suppose it feels less like a lighter when you're the one being picked on as opposed to the person who isn't joining in but is just sat there laughing because it's so FUNNY.
(Taia - I have had eight years of it. It is hardly going to get better overnight.
Star - I've got to know people by shooting others. Which is worse?)
(So I mentioned I was on youtube. One of the people I'm subscribed to is having a rough week.
On Tuesday he lost his job (which he had for 8 years.)
On the same day his house was broken into and things were stolen, and he has to pay the insurance company a thousand dollars to get it replaced, which is about the value of everything that was stolen.
And yesterday his aunt died.
...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBChX6K0q1s)
@Sophia: Um. I see what you mean.
@Tia: Woah. O_O
@Star: *laughs* :P
Luckily, it's only a very quick thing, because people are people, not names, yeah? So as soon as the context registers, it makes sense. :)
ANd- *nods*
I was almost called Holly, you know? :)
But my actual name is not too common, and the other year this kid with the same name joined the school. And suddenly I kept hearing my name yelled down the corridors and turning and not seeing anybody I recognised?
I'm used to it now, though, because it's a bit like how you said about it feeling different, but also that year eight/nine boys would not normally be asking after me, really. :P / :)
@Taia: *nods* :) Yeah . . . like I can tell who's written comments from the way they're written, oftentimes. :)
You were? O_O
Aw. :/ Yeah, it's annoying. :O
(I am here my darlings ^^)
Hi Inky. :)
(Hey Star, how art thou?)
Fine, thanks, Inky. :) Doing French. :O You?
(I am embarrassed, my bro is playing a slides how of pics from when we were younger...)
@Inky: :P :P
( my hair was always a mess when it was long... Glad I cut it)
[A new person enters and waves]
"Hello, my name is Tai, and I'm here to confuse things even further."
[Another new person pops up]
"Heya! I'm Taa!"
[And another]
"Howdy, y'all. I'm Tiai."
HELLO CHLOE YOU'RE AWESOME YAY!!!
(gtg shower, bye!)
(Hey, Fabi!
*sighs*)
@Star: Yeah. :/
@Sophia: Soon doesn't mean overnight, but maybe I mean eventually.
@Tia: Oh, gosh. That sucks. :/
It's good to see at least that he seems to have a lot of support from followers and such, and also that he is finding ways to work with the problems he is facing and putting them to his advantage where he can, though. ^^
@Star: Yeah! :)
Hi Chloe! :)
O_O
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THE ATTACK OF THE PEOPLE WITH 'T'S AND 'I'S AND 'A'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*doesn't run away for fear of offending the tia/taia/tiai/taa/tai people* *sits there looking indecisive :P*
(Hey Fab ^^
Er thanks Tia, and byii)
(Hi Taia Bach ^_^ how art thou?)
Huh.
tia/taia/tai/taa/tiai
tiataiataitaatiai
tiaaiaaiaaiai
:P
@Chloe: ... :)
Fabi XD
Aw, bye Tia! *waveS*
TAIAIIAIAIAAIIIIAAIAIIAIAIAAAIAIIIAIAIIIIAIAIIIAIIAIIAIIIAIIAIAIAIAA
*Tanya considers changing her name to Tya*
@Tia: XD
I'm doing all right, thanks Chloe. :) How're you?
@Star: :P
(Embarrassed ^////^
And I'm cold... Maybe I should have a nice warm bath)
Tai: Hello, Tia, Taia, Tiai, Taa!
Oh, and Chloe and Star.
Tiai: Am I scarin' you? Sorry 'bout that,
Taa: O_O
(Sorry, I disappeared briefly.
Taia - eventually won't happen either.)
. . .
Hi, um, people. :)
*waves to the taiiaiaiaiaaaiiaiiaaiaiaiiaiiaia people*
[The tiaiiiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiiiaiiaiaaaaiaiiaiiaaaiaaiaaiaiiaiiaiaiaa people wave back]
XD
@CHloe: Aw. :P
*nods* A bath might be good for coldness. :) *wouldn't really know, though, tbh?*
@Sopia: Not with that attitude, no. :P
I can still hope, because I care? :) ^^
Bye, Sophia!
WBD
(I think I will take a dip)
*MSD, not WBD :P
Incidentally, I have to go anyway. :P
BBL, possibly.
*hugs all who would like hugging*
Bye!
(*huggles* b byii)
Goodbye, Tiai. Wait, no, Tia. Wait, no, TAIA! Goodbye Taia! [hugs Taia]
(Hello, the birthday boy is here and i feel old)
(*puts a birthday hat on him*
*glomps* hey birthday boy )
(Welcomes Soph )
(Welcomes Soph )
(Welcomes Soph )
(Welcomes Soph )
(I am ok, cold but ok
You?)
(I am depressed and a little pissed off.)
(back)
(Hello, Garrett. Happy birthday.)
(Aww Soph, why?)
(That is how I usually feel? I could tell you the reasons why but I have no intentions of doing so. When I say 'average', that is essentially what I mean.)
(*huggles soph* cheer up! Turn that frown upside down)
(I do not hug. Nor do I frown much. I scowl.)
Je pense que c'est easier said than done . . .
(Very true, Star.)
*nods at Sophia*
(*gets glomped* thank you Inks
thank you soph,
brb I'm having a birthday curry)
(Then banish that scowl ^^
I had no idea what u said Star
The only phrase in French I know is
Voulez vous couche avec moi ce soir)
(A birthday... curry? I admit I do not know much about birthdays as I do not celebrate my own, but I have never heard of a birthday curry.)
(Kk Gar, have a nice curry )
(Yeah - no. I have felt nearly the same way for eight years. It is not just a case of banishing a scowl.
She said that she thinks it is easier said than done, I think. I have never learned French, but it is possible to guess from the context.)
@Inky: ANd I don't know what that says. :P
Something you -
maybe do you want to -
something -
with me it is?
:P
I said, I think that's easier said than done, referring to Sophia turning her frown upside down.
(Okay
And um ... It means 'will you sleep with me tonight')
(A phrase everyone needs to know in a foreign language. *tilts head*)
@Inky: . . . Ah. :P
*hugs* :)
(*huggles* have u heard lady marmalade ?)
(... You could disembowel that scowl, I suppose?)
(*is back, she thinks*)
(Welcome back, Taia. But I would rather not dissect my own face.)
Well, I got the 'do you want to' (it says 'voulez', which is the 'vous' form of the verb 'vouloir', which is 'to want' (can be translated along the lines of 'would like', as in 'would you like to sleep with me tonight').
And I got the 'with me'.
And I totally mistranslated 'ce soir', but oh well. XD
The INTERESTING thing is that it's the more formal version of 'you', which implies that the question is aimed at someone unfamiliar. XD
(Welcomes Taia!)
@Inky: No. :(
@Taia: XD
@Sophia: Good point. :P
(Well they are singing as if they were prostitutes...)
@Inky: Ah, I see. XD
(It's from the film moulin rouge
Once you hear it you will understand XD)
Thanks, Sophia. :)
*laughs* True.
...Have your scowl run afoul? :P
Thanks, Chloe! :)
(I'm in my Pikachu onsie
Life is awesome... Mostly
How r u Taia Bach?)
(I'm in my Pikachu onsie
Life is awesome... Mostly
How r u Taia Bach?)
@Taia: XD
I can say Sur la derniere page du chapitre, and also Ma vie/Toute ma vie, because of Travis lyrics. But I wouldn't know much other French. :) ^^
Pikachu! :3
I'm good, thanks CHloe. Taking time to not do much, so :).
How're you?
@Star: I can RHYME!!!! :P
(I is good mostly
My baby cousin who has cancer keeps playing on my mind )
@Taia: :O
YOU'RE SO SKILFUL!!!
*jealous*
@Inky: :( . . .
*hugs*
(*huggles* it's not fair
She is two)
I know . . . :(
I just feel so sorry for her and her family . . .
I hipe she's okay. :/
*hope
Oh, Chloe, *hugs* :(
All the best wishes to her and your family. :/
(I hope so too
They live so far away in Scotland
Okay, enough of the depressing stuff
How was your day?)
(*huggles taia* thanks )
It was quite good. I found out C can be a stalker, and our friend B intentionally made us walk all over the school looking for her all concerned-like when she was at home all the time. :P
I have three horus of languages, and I didn't have English, which is good. However, I also didn't have science. :P
How was your day?
(*hugs inky and Soph*)
*yawns, leaning against a tree*
(*hugs Silente back* Hello.)
Claire: *approaches Silente cautiously* ... I have something to ask.
Hi Silente. :)
*hugs Chloe*
Hello, Sil. You made me yawn.
(*huggles sil* how are you?
It was alright I have four tests next week)
*ealks around and sees sil*
Hey, how have you been?
OH FUCK
Hi Tia.
*GLARES AT MY UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO DO AN ADRA*
(*huggles Tia*)
Hi Xan. :)
(Hey Xan)
(Hey Xan)
*smiles at Flick and looks at Claire* which would be?
Erica: *hugs Xan from behind*
(i return, hello
*makes sure party hat is in place*
how are you all?)
OHMYGOSH STAR xD xD
Hi Silente!
I hope you're doing alright? :)
Hi Xanadu! :)
@Taia: -_-
not funny.
:P
*hugs* :)
Hi Garrett!
Happy birthday! *throws confetti* :D
I'm fine, thanks. How're you? Nice day? :)
Hi Garrett. :)
(Welcomes Gar)
*grins* look at this Sil *shows rings*
Fine, thanks, Xan. :) You?
Star? You were doing what?
Hey, Gar. Happy birthday! :)
(Hey, Xan!)
Claire: ... I have an assignment. But... it requires something I'm completely unfamiliar with.
There's a rogue teenage mage hiding in a school.
... I've never been to school. And you're the only person who I know who is even close to being my age - or looking my age - so... could you help me?
(I'm alright, u?)
*looks at the ring* you're ENGAGED?? Flick! Congrats! I'm so happy for you!
Erica: hello mister.
@Tia: XD
Oh dear . . . :P
*laughs*
When someone delibrately gets the last comment on a page (often with the letter 'a') with the intention of making someone else get the first comment on the new page, we call it doing an Adra, due to the fact that Adra made it a Thing. :O
*:P
*studies Claire* you want me to go to school and help you kill someone?
*nods and huggles sil* thank you!!
Claire: ... That's about the sum of it.
*squirms in the hug but awkwardly hugs her back* Yey! Hug me again I'll drain you dry but Yey!
*looks at Claire*
Huh...and why would i do this? Oh what's her power!
(This is sounding a lot like one of those books where a teenage assassin/vampire/etc. has to go to a normal school and be a normal teenager.
That's not necessarily a bad thing.)
*releases her* oopsy, totally forgot *still smiles*
(And, yes, I am aware that Sil and Claire aren't teenagers/don't look like teenagers. I was using the word 'like'. :P)
*aren't teenagers and/or don't look like teenagers
Hang on.
*aren't teenagers and don't look like teenagers
Claire: Her name is Violet Dusk. She can sever bonds between atoms, or something. She has killed many mortals by breaking the bonds in their body until they were effectively just carbon.
(... every so often it occurs to me how everybody used to try to get first, to ded the page
And now it's more usual to try NOT to get first
And it makes me feel like I have been here for a Long Time.)
(Distant, because my internet is unhappy and I don't know how to comfort it, and also it's raining and it sounds good.)
(Thank you everyone, it has been a good day today,
i feel old though)
@Taia: You have been here for a Long Time.
You are Old.
O_O
Gar is also Old. But a different kind of Old.
O_O
I feel Young. :O
(okay inky/sil is now the brackets things again so people dont get left out.)
Sever...atom bonds? So like make wounds open up by cutting you?
()
Good wolf.
*grins*
Date?
(Breaking atom bonds sounds nasty . . . like . . . in the long term, cancer-nasty.)
(being my age is good because next year i can legally drink alcohol in a bar :) (
Sil...
(Gar, keep dreaming!)
I don't WANT to drink alcohol in a bar . . . my friends are like "You're sixteen! You can legally drink alcohol!" and I'm like "Why would I want to drink alcohol?"
:P
Oh dear . . .
Claire: She can cause wounds. Like she decapitated someone using her power by severing all the bonds of the atoms of their neck so their head kind of... fell off.
Oh that's COOL.
()
Tia? *looks around*
November 5th *grins*
Want to be a bridesmaid ?
Claire: Cool? She killed mortals, and a few sorcerers. Will you help me?
(Another two ters for me Gar, but I drink anyways)
