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 3801 – 4000 of 4465 Newer› Newest»I have to start packing today... and go to guitar practice. And write things for both advanced english and normal english... and maybe practice trombone one more time before the trip...
I mean, I have tomorrow too, but...
My weekend will be packed. So I might not be around much and next week I won't be on at all until 5 o'clock on Friday because the camp has no wifi
(*huggles snow* we'll miss you!)
Hmmm... I may have a few tricks up my sleeve for getting wifi, so I may pop in once or twice very quickly. *hugs* Band Tour always rocks. And I have a few pranks/jokes planned for this year
(pranks?)
Erica: You're better...MUCH better...*grins*
I'm taking a fake spider. Very realistic fake spider. And I'm buying my male band teacher Mr s a pink feather bower. A few other things.
It's normal. Last year, Mr H, one of our other teachers, bought a rubber chicken with him. Then the grade 10s stole it and made him go on a treasure hunt for it.
Plus Mr H and Mr S have this thing where they make odd romantic videos.
It's awesome.
Erica: *smiles, a slight blush colouring her cheeks* *kisses him back* handsome.
Erica: hmm..do you have a house in hell?
(Quick question Xan, what would the Grand Archangel think of Roland??
Roland is one of my characters but he is a damaged, autistic angel. He's going out with Rose.)
Erica: *laughs* could we go see it..?
Erica: *laughs* get dressed mister.
(So better make sure that Roland never comes in contact with Itherael, got it!)
That angel can fall out of heaven, Rose is mine.
Erica: *dresses quickly and takes his hand* lead the way.
*sighs* Where is Rose? Is it not about quarter to 10am?
Erica: wow...that's big...
(No idea Loki..)
Erica: *laughs* yep. Pretty awesome..
Erica: *whispers* always.
Everybody's rp'ing ships...
*sighs*
Hey Loki and Em.
(*hugs Tia* Annabelle isn't in a ship..)
Erica: *stares* oh that's cool...is that a sauna??
(I'm back for a short time,
i need to be distracted from a film my dad is watching its weird as F***)
Erica: *pulls him after her and pushes him into the pool*
(death wish 2)
*quietly sits, thinking*
(Hello Loki how are you?)
(ish, its not so bad anymore but close to the beginning it was just like WTF!)
I am fine.
Jolly good Loki.
Am I even sane?
*sighs*
Went out for breakfast... And then was looking through my Uncle's things...
He had a sword... And it was beautiful...
*Cries and leaves again so she can clean outside*
Danni...
*hugs her tightly*
@Tia: In reply to one of your previous comments, I'm not rping at the moment.
I was never really rping, now that I think about it.
Apart from the fact that I still haven't even thought fully about my characters, and apart from the fact that none of you know them anyways (both entirely all my fault, I'm not blaming anyone :)), the plots have just advanced too far that I now have no idea what the fence is going on.
*nods*
@Danni: *hugs*
My grandfather passed away about a month ago. I know how it feels.
*sighs*
Hello Em and Loki.
*Hugs Tia just as tight*
Hey...
@Phoe, I'm sorry... It sucks... :/
Hey Loki.
Hey, Danni.
I'm here if you need me, ok?
Hello, Rose.
Thanks Tia <3
Rose says hi, Loki. And she wants me to cuddle you, but I don't think you want a Rose's Author cuddle...
Not to self: Australian size 6 skinny jeans are impossible to run in...
(Why are school uniforms a thing anyway?)
I have no idea. They limit individuality and they are horrible colours and they make me want to be sick...
I would prefer to cuddle Rose, yes.
My author isn't very happy with me at the moment... But I'm here, at least.
*Cuddles Loki tightly and nuzzles his chest*
*smirks* Mine never is happy with me. Why do I feel as if I should kill some Midgardians?
Well, just don't kill my author... Then I'll die too. Same goes for your author. Ad you're not allowed to kill any authors on here, either...
I will not kill an author, I promise.
Thank you, Loki....
*She smiled and reached up to kiss his nose*
Stop being tall...
If you think about the psychological implications of uniforms (and that's me using clever words because I don't do psychiatry) there are many disadvantages to a uniform. They remove individuality. And that's not just the clothes. It's the no bright hair colours or jewellery, that kind of thing.
I won't say that removing individuality and personality is something Nazis did in order to dehumanize people, making people easier to kill.
But if this uniform is here to label us all as 'students' for the purpose of making it easier for teachers to teach, then that's not a good enough reason to have a uniform.
I spent 5 or 6 years in a school with no uniform. I didn't feel oppressed or unhappy about school clothes.
*turns to just rant about school in general*
So our school converted from a "Church of England School" to an "Academy" in the last few months. Being an academy gives them more choice in where funding goes (see, it is about the money!) but doesn't even give them more money overall.
And now they will be holding some religious event or whatever (I don't even want to know) to reaffirm that it is still a religious school, or CofE will cut whatever little funding they provide.
So yes, we are a religious school, but only when there's money at stake.
My friend is considering coming in dressed as a banana and claiming it's part of his religion, and the school is intolerant if they try getting him to change.
*rant over*
(My school has horrible uniforms... And there are all these hairstyles that aren't allowed. They limit us on everything....)
We had purple tops/grey shirts in primary school and white shirts, black blazers and black trousers, dark green/dark red ties. (Dark, but neither was dark enough for me to like it)
But it was professional, you know? Black and dark.
The new uniform is a flipping purple logo on blazer and purple ties.
Thankfully, sixth form has looser uniform rules.
We have more of a dress code than uniform.
So? What if I am tall? *laughs*
((Woah woah woah HAIR is limited? What do they want? No braids?!-ZF
Geez, Zaf, how are students meant to concentrate on schoolwork if Danni's hair looks too good? It's impossible!
You should know these adult things because they clearly make many senses all over the world.
/sarcasm
(We have our own school shop. If we don't have the right socks, we get them from the uniform shop and it gets added to our school account...)
It makes it hard to reach your face...
*She pouted playfully at him and then cuddled him tightly again*
Be my height... You should kneel...
(If it's past out shoulders, it must be up. Braids, ponytails, buns are allowed. No shaved heads. No gel. No hairspray. No hair straightened. No cornrows or things like that...)
((So because my hair is frizzy I can't put gel in to tame it and straighten it? Haha I'd never survive.-Zaf
*kisses Rose
(Rose, Zaf, can you please list loads of cartoons you like? Not anime though. And not something for the very small children (sorry, Dora!) but something for teenagers?)
School socks? That's a new low right there. I know we had green rugby socks and everything, but no-one cared.
No-one.
Ever.
Cared.
(Not a lot of people listen to the 'no hair straightened' rule...)
*She smiled and kissed him back softly, her hands trailing along his chest*
(No shaved heads?
I'm moving to Mexico bai
FREEDOM HERE I COME!)
((Yeah....it's....a bit.....mental.-Zaf
*smirks, hugging her close*
(Adventure Time...
Uh... I don't watch cartoons...
My schools sucks.)
((Just a correction, I don't have a shaved head, but this is stupid so...))
((I mean people shave for charity!))
*She pressed herself against him and started to kiss along his jaw*
(Someone shaved their head for charity and they got in so much trouble...)
(I know Adventure Time, though I've never seen it.
A lot of schools do, Danni.)
((That's retarded.-Zaf
*holds close, smiling at her touch*
(Favourite musical instrument, guys? Do you have one?)
(I know...)
*Her smile grew wide and she glanced at him*
Loki...
(Drums... Guitar...)
I love you....*kisses cheek*
Ah, mine is either drums, guitar, or violin.
Or maybe piano.
I thought I had an opinion on this :S
I love you too...
*She blushed at his kiss and took both of his hands, pulling him to the floor*
Mine...
(I play drums and tried guitar... Drums is nice.
I got asked to join a band a while back...)
I am yours, now and forever. *grins*
*She clambered into his lap and nestled her head against his shoulder*
And I'm yours... Forever...
I see Loki and Rose's marriage is working out great.
It is... It's a great marriage... We're happy...
I am yours, and we'll be together forever.
Guys, you do know that turkeys lay eggs, right?
*She curled into his arms and hid her face in his shoulder*
Forever...
(Turkeys are birds... It's only logical...
*runs a hand through her hair, quite happily*
That's nice, Loki...
*She smiled gently and kissed his arm*
*quietly* I can get used to this, I really can.
Mmm...
*She nodded tiredly into his shoulder and yawned*
I'm sleepy... You're comfy...
(A youtuber (azezelsfire) made a video where he criticised his work colleague (who he didn't name) because she had no idea why her turkeys laid eggs... (all birds lay eggs!))
(What isn't funny is that azezel lost his job because of that, and also had his house burgled and had his aunt die this week.)
(I will be going to sleep now, 2.20 am is no joke. Good night Rose, Danni, Loki and Zaf!)
( *o* that's horrible...)
(Goodnight, Tia. - Rose)
(Catch ya tomorrow <3 - Danni)
We're all comfy. *smirks*
*She smiled again and closed her eyes, slowly falling asleep in Loki's arms*
(Ignore my name, I never, ever drink.
I particularly never, ever drink on Friday nights.)
((I honestly don't, but :P))
*holds her, happily*
Zanida: *paces, having gone to Midgard to see Loki*
(Go to sleep, Tia!)
*She curled comfortably in Loki's arms and mumbled 'I love you' in her sleep*
*laughs, looking up at Zanida* What?
Zanida: I'm....I'm....nervous. *looks scared*
*She frowned and shifted, her eyebrows starting to pull together. She started to mutter under her breath*
(You can't tell me what to-
*collapses, asleep*
Later, Zanida.
Zanida: No! Now!!
(Good Tia.)
*She jumped at Zanida's shout and her eyes shot open*
Zan?!
Zanida: Sorry!! I didn't mean to wake you...
Its... It's okay...
*She turned back into Loki's chest and kissed his chest*
What's wrong...?
Zanida: Its the Dark Elves.
What did they do?
*She took Loki's hand and held it as she turned to look at Zanida*
Zanida: They...they....just....they've been spotted.
Zan, calm.
*Sneaks up behind Loki*
Psst. Hiemdal is watching.
*Sinks into the shadows*
It'll be okay, Zan...
*She turned and looked at Blake, scared*
Where did you...?
*Pops up behind Rose*
It's kinda my thing.
*She grabbed Blake's hand and pulled him in front of her. Then she held him tight while still sitting in Loki's lap*
I know you hate each other, but I both love you... In different ways... Just get along...
Get that Midgardian away. *glares at Blake*
*She elbowed Loki gently*
Blake is okay... Just become friends, okay?
*Glares back at Loki*
If his grand dishonesty could pull his head out of his rear for once we might get somewhere.
I am a god you mewling quim.
*She groaned and pushed Blake away, then scrambled out of Loki's lap. She walked away from them and crossed her arms tightly over her chest*
What is your problem with each other?! Why can't you just try?!
There's that shoddy excuse for an insult again, "mewling quim". Honestly, did you pull that out of a Shakespear play?
Zanida: Enough all of you!!!! *glares*
The first time it happened I was ten.
It was an accident.
The second time I meant
To last it out and not come back at all.
I rocked shut.
seashell.
They had to call and call
And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls.
Dying
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well
I do it so that it feels like hell
I do it so it feels real.
There is a charge
For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge
For the hearing of my heart——
It really goes.
So, so, Herr Doktor.
So, Herr Enemy.
I am your opus,
I am your valuable,
The pure gold baby
That melts to a shriek.
If anyone wants me, I'll be somewhere.
*She glared at both of them, smiled at Zan, and walked into the trees*
I dedicate this page to everyone. You're all amazing.
-Zaf
I want you....Rose....
(Adra, are you okay...?)
*She shrugged off Loki's words and continued through, into the meadow*
Fine. Be that way.
Zanida: God's sake! Blake, get along with Loki, Loki get along with Blake! End of discussion. Happy? Okay. Rose go cuddle him.
I'm not going to cuddle him. You can't make me.
@Danni: we have the same limitations about hair at my school, except for the shaving and cornrows.
Hair for Hope actually comes to my school once a year, and there are signs put up and bakesales and overall it's pretty cool. :)
But tying up our hair is stupid. We should be allowed to show at least a bit of individuality, and it's OUR FREAKING HAIR. We should have the right to do what we want with it.
(I tie up my hair, yeah, but I don't do it because teachers at school force me to. I do it because a) if I don't, I feel uncomfortably warm as my hair is thick and b) it just poofs up. *nods*)
(goshdarn wifi. Always making me post my comments late.)
(School is horrible... One of my friends, it's a family tradition to have their hair in cornrows until their 21. And she can't do that at my school...)
You can't just tell two people to get along and have that be the end of it. The day he stops being so arrogant is the day we may finally get somewhere.
He's not arrogant!! He's-
Ugh!! Nevermind.
Zanida: Loki is arrogant, you're violent that's who you are, put it aside for Rose. Ok? Good.
For Rose, nothing else.
*She sat in the centre of her meadow and started to pull up the wildflowers, muttering*
*Mutters* I'm not violent I like a challenge... which you've failed to give me.
Fine. I'll do my best to work with it.
(This Goofy movie I'm watching is so touching... <3 )
Zanida: Excellent!
*She took a deep breath, collected the wildflowers and tied them with a piece of grass and teleported beside Loki*
Here.
*She held out the wildflowers to him and sighed*
They're beautiful like you, love.
*She rolled her eyes and dropped them into his lap*
(My friends are meeting Jenna Coleman right now...
And I'm sitting at home reheating fish and chips...
*Sobs*)
*smiles* Love...
((*huggles* -Zaf
*She frowned at him*
What?
(*Huggles back*)
You're amazing.
Whatever.
*She shrugged and sat beside him, huffing slightly*
*sighs* I will try to get along with him.
You mean that you will get along with him...
Yes, I will get along.
Thank you, Loki...
*She pushed the flowers away and climbed into his lap, curling into his chest*
Thank you...
(Zaf, it's late... You should sleep...)
*smirks*
Zanida: Eeek! *a very happy Leif appeared on Zan's head*
*She chuckled at Zan and hel's her arms out to Leif*
Come here, baby.
((*shrugs* it's 25 to midnight, I don't have anywhere to go tomorrow morning and I don't feel tired.-Zaf
*held
(Are you sure...?)
Leif: *appears in Momma's arms* I follow!
Zanida: Poor Frigga...and I thought Loki was bad.
You hardly knew me.
Zanida: Yes I did, we were cousins.
((*nods* I feel wide awake strange enough, usually if I'm tired I do go to sleep.-Zaf
*She laughed at Leif and held him tight*
I can see that, baby.
*She smirked and rolled her eyes at the siblings*
You're weird...
(Odd...)
((I don't know why, usually I die on Fridays.-Zaf
*laughs* Weird? We are not.
Leif: *yawns and closes eyes*
Zanida: I should go...to Asgard...
((Now I do feel tired...*nods* Odd...k I'mma sleep now..-Zaf
(Well, I died last night. I was buggered...)
*She giggled and kisses Loki's jaw*
You're very weird. Your sister isn't, but you are the weirdest of them all!!
*She smiled down at Leif and nuzzled his head. She started to hum, listening to his little breaths*
You don't have to, Zan...
Hello.
(Hey Morgan!)
(Wbd...)
Wbd? Blogland language for....?
Hello Death Rose. How have you been?
(Will be distant.
And please, call me Rose. I'm... I've been better... Death in the family takes a toll... But otherwise, I'm okay.
You?)
(Whoops. Goodnight, Zaf.)
Ah, okay.
Well Rose, I've been better, but I'm okay.
(Hello.)
Hello Sophia.
(Hello Morgan. How are you?)
Been better. Yourself?
(What is the matter, if you are fine with discussing it?
I am depressed and a little pissed off. Not really at anything in particular.)
I'm just a little stressed out right now.
That sounds unfortunate.
(I see. I am afraid I do not have the best record of dealing with stress so I'm afraid I will be unable to help that much.
However, I am good at solving problems. So if there is a particular issue causing the stress, I believe, rather than trying to avoid it, it may be best to stand up to the problem. Running away does not solve problems.
It is fine. It is how I have been feeling for eight years, now. It isn't a problem.)
Thanks for the offer, but the only way to fix my problem is to cure a partially made up mental disorder. So, stressed and strung out for the next 4 weeks it is.
8 years, wow. That's practically an achievement.
(I see. I am sorry for you. I hope you feel better soon.
Not especially. I would not want an achievement for it. I am against receiving achievements.)
4 weeks and counting Sophia, by then my problems will either be solved for 6 months or I'll be depressed for a while.
Well, in that case it's a good thing it's only practically an achievement. Otherwise I would have this entire problem of trying to sell a trophy, get a refund on confetti and I'd probably have some wonderful cake just waiting on the sidelines, feeling lonely and neglected.
(I see. I hope everything goes well, then.
Indeed. I am not the type of person who enjoys achievements or compliments. I would rather be criticised.
In terms of the confetti and the cake and the like, I do not even celebrate my birthday. I definitely would not like them for being depressed.)
(What if the confetti and cake had antidepressant agents in them?)
(Why would I want antidepressant agents? I believe depression provides a more stable base than happiness does. I would rather be depressed and stay depressed rather than be happy just to have it crushed.
It makes me somewhat weaker emotionally, but stronger practically and physically which is what I need in my job.
Apologies for the late reply, Chrome froze somewhat.)
Well ok then.
(It probably makes no sense to anyone other than myself.)
I do somewhat understand your reasoning.
(That is somewhat good. I am somewhat emotionally stable, which is good. I do have days where I am hilariously unstable but hey, it's better than nothing.)
Well, I think we all have days where we are hilariously unstable.
That's extreme. Yeah, I'm not that sort of unstable, I have more anger management instability.
Wow.
Well I actually have to go and have dinner. Until we meet again Sophia.
(Goodbye, Morgan.)
(Hello Sophia. How are you? Did you fall asleep this time or me? If it was me I'm sorry.)
(Hello, Silente. *hugs her* I'm depressed, yourself?
Dragona may have fallen asleep somewhat. I shall check.)
(*hugs back* I'm sleepy. It's rather early.
Okay. I think it was Dragona...although I could be wrong..)
(It is early. I like waking up early.
Yes, it was Dragona. *sighs*)
Claire: *reaches the entrance of the shopping centre* *walks through the automatic doors* No. If we are working together, I need to know when you are joking.
(I know you do. You like being productive and active :)
Ah okay. Thought so.)
*walks next to her through the automatic doors* How about we just leave it and you use that tiny brain of yours to learn. *grins*
(I do.)
Claire: I can learn quicker than you. It shouldn't be a problem. *picks up a map from a desk* *searches for the uniform shop* *points to it on the map* It's there. It isn't far.
Mhmm. Okay. So do you even know what kids your age LIKE nowadays?
Today at Irish dance I spun around in a circle until I couldn't walk or see straight and then I tried to walk straight and but I kept bumping into things and then I clasped in a laughing fit.
*nods*
Fun time...!
And I got the start of Madame Mist costume! :D
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*
*makes a mental note to ask Taia next time they Falk*
(Hello, Dugglyn.)
Claire: I know what I like. Armour and blades and guns! As for other people, I don't have a clue. Do you know? You actually have friends so you might know.
**that first part is what Star said. The second (the mental note) was me.
Also, important question. Which name suits me better, Agnes or Chester. We're coming up with different names for all of my friends (Madison [used to be Sarah Jane] insists that Dugglyn doesn't work-_-) and those are the choices!
