What's New In The World

June 07, 2009

So close, and yet, so far...only eight days left of school. Well, eight official days, I'm up for exam exemptions this year so I definately don't have to go in the last day and I may not have to go in the day before the last day, either (provided my art teacher lets me out of the exam, which she better!)

Not too much new here. As you've noticed, I have a new story, Dark Ripples in Blood. It's a prequel/sister fic to SpeedDemon315's Ace in the Hole (which is a marvellous story, you should read it and read it NAO!), and we're both extremely excited about it! We're also going to be starting a Charmed/Angel crossover (with a little bit of the movie Heat thrown in for good measure) which will be available on our shared account, Tuomas Is Our Sin.

More updates as more stuff comes!

A Random Little World...

Hi! Welcome to my page! I am Celtic Aurora, but you guys...just call me Aurora! Seeing as you were brave enough to come visit my crazy little world, I shall reward you with a little behind-the-pen information!
- I love vampires, werewolves, and fallen angels, and have practically become an expert in vampires (I know a lot about them, believe me!).
-I also love regular wolves (ya know, the kind that walk on four legs, live in the wild, can't turn into humans, those kind?) and am strongly against the hunting of them! It's just wrong, people. In fact, if I could, I'd want to keep one as a pet...
-Someone may have told you I'm in love with Van Helsing. Well, they were wrong. I don't love it...I'm obsessed with it! I will admit that...but can I help it?
-I believe that you're never too old to play pretend. Playing pretend simply gets more sophisticated the older you get. Hell, actors and actresses get paid for playing pretend!

Additional Likes: Reading, writing (though, seeing as I'm here, that's kinda a given..), drawing, listening to music/ singing along with music, talking to friends, playing Rappelz or Kingdom Hearts, and surfing the net. I also like drama/theatre, especially improvisation!

Now that we've covered the basics, let's move onto some personal favorites...

Aurora's Loves:

Movies: Van Helsing, Underworld/Underworld: Evolution, Phantom of the Opera, Pirates of the Caribbean (all three), Sleepy Hollow, Dracula 2000, Interview With the Vampire, Queen of the Damned, The Mummy/The Mummy Returns, Blood and Chocolate, Juno, and The Covenant

Bands: Evanescence, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Skillet, Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, Flyleaf, Nickelback, and I'm starting to become quite fond of Evans Blue, Paramore, and H.I.M. just a little bit

(Because no page can be complete without a section such as this...)

Aurora's Favorite Pairings:

Van Helsing:

Gabriel/Anna (The best damn canon pairing there is, in my opinion :D It makes me so sad what happened to Anna at the end of the movie!)

Dracula/His Brides (Yeah, no duh)

Underworld, Underworld: Evolution, and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

Michael/Selene (Just because they work really well together, everyone knows that)

Lucian/Sonja (Death cannot stop true love, we all know that. Thus, death cannot stop this pairing!)

Kraven/Erika (Someone needs to tell Kraven to wake up and smell the blood, why go for a girl who doesn't give a rat's ass about you when you could go for a girl who's utterly devoted to you?)

The Mortal Instruments Trilogy

Jace/Clary (No brainer. They're perfect for each other)

Simon/Isabelle (I really think he would choose Isabelle over Maia, and I'll bet you anything Isabelle likes him back. After all, he was the only one she would talk to after Max's death in City of Glass)

Magnus/Alec (The best guy couple :D They're perfect for each other. Plus Magnus is amazing, you cannot deny that)

Angel

Wesley/Fred (THE MOST SUPER-SPECIAL AWESOME AMAZING COUPLE! Sorry, I'm on a huge Fresley kick right now)

Angel/Cordelia (Because they are, undeniably, perfect for each other)

Angel/Faith (Just a fun little side thing, I remember Faith and Angel being somewhat close those few times she came to visit him in Season 1)

Spike/Illyria (They'd be hilarious together, we all know it. Besides, she said herself she wishes to keep Spike as a pet...)

Lords of Avalon series

Kerrigan/Seren (They rule, hands down)

Garafyn/Elaine (SpeedDemon315 is right, the way those two argue is too bloody hilarious to pass up!)

Varian/Merewyn (Haven't quite finished Knight of Darkness yet but they work out well, you know it)

Blaise/Merewyn (Another fun little side-couple, they do get along really well...besides, Blaise needs a honey :D)

Van Helsing Roleplays

Van Helsing Roleplay: Seperate Scenes and Seperate Scenes II: Blood Legacy

Egil/Catherine (Categil forever, betches! Love them so much SpeedDemon and I are writing a story for them, which can be found on our joint account Tuomas Is Our Sin. As a by-the-by, Catherine belongs to me, Egil belongs to SpeedDemon315)

Morfran/Alexandra (Gotta love those two, they make me think of Categil a little-they hated each other's guts when they started out. Alexandra belongs to me, Morfran belongs to SpeedDemon315.)

Gabriel/Akyra (Opposites really do attract. Gabriel is...borrowed, but mine in a way, and Akyra belongs to Latina Kitty)

Radovan/Nickelia (Despite all the shit they went through, they FINALLY got together! Nickelia is mine, Radovan belongs to The-Sapphire-Phoenix)

Van Helsing Roleplay: The Dawn and The Dawn: Revolution

Edward/Catherine (Really, one of the sweetest, most adorable couples ever. Again, Catherine is mine, Edward belongs to SpeedDemon315)

Rolf/Nickelia (Because love extends beyond the reach of death. Nickelia is mine, Rolf belongs to SpeedDemon315)

Thanatos/Alana (Gotta love the evil pairings. They are the ultimate evil pairing :D Thanatos the darling, sexy necromancer belongs to SpeedDemon315, Alana is mine)

Gabriel/Adair (A very endearing couple. Gabriel is mine (though borrowed), and Adair is property of The-Sapphire-Phoenix)

Alexsei/Irina (Gotta love scatterbrained lovers! Alexsei is mine, Irina belongs to vamplady101)

Michael/Isolade (Hybrid love, too cute Michael is mine, Isolade belongs to SpeedDemon315)

Van Helsing Roleplay: The Vampire League: The Next Generation

Keiran/Tinuviel (Absolute devotion + Childhood friendship = Adorable-ness! Keiran is mine, Tinuviel is property of SpeedDemon315)

Hieron/Gabriella (A personal favorite :D Gabriella belongs to me, Hieron belongs to SpeedDemon315)

Kasper/Nasya (They're another favorite, and SO perfect for each other! Kasper is mine, Nasya is vamplady101's)

Dante/Fleur (More proof that opposites attract. Dante is mine, Fleur is SpeedDemon315's)

Hector/Marisol (Since they're both so jaded about love, you know they're good together. Marisol is mine, Hector is SpeedDemon315's)

Corvin/Livia (They're good for each other, too, a demon and an assassin. Livia is mine, Corvin is property of SpeedDemon315)

Ethan/Aliria (Also, quite perfect for each other, they're both HUGE flirts. Aliria is mine, Ethan is SpeedDemon315's)

Noah/Marika (Since Noah needs a honey :D Marika is mine, Noah belongs to The-Sapphire-Phoenix)

Real Life:

Tuomas Holopainen/Anette Olzon (I don't know if Anette is married or not, but I think they're too damn adorable together to pass up!)

And Now For Something Completely Different!

If you think Gabriel Van Helsing is not only the Left Hand of God, but is also your guardian angel, copy and paste this into your profile.

I think that the Phantom of the Opera doesn't deserve to have people hate him. I think his voice is like an angel's. If you would be the one to love the Phantom forever, copy and paste this into your profile.

If you think Christine should be slapped upside her head for choosing Raoul over the Phantom(who we all know is clearly the better choice), copy and paste this into your profile.

If you have music in your soul, copy and paste this into your profile.

If you are one of those people who think that there's no chance in hell that Gabriel Van Helsing and Vladislaus Dracula were lovers in the past, and are in agreement that Dracula probably hates Van Helsing now, copy and paste this into your profile. (Sorry if you like VH/Dracula slashes, but I can't wrap my head around it)

93 percent of American teens would have a severe emotional breakdown if someone called them a freak. If you're part of the 7 percent who would ask the person "What was your first clue?", copy and paste this into your profile. (That's so me. I've known I'm a freak since I was, oh, about ten years old)

If you cannot see the world without Gerard Butler, copy and paste this in your profile. (Without that man, the world would have no meaning...)

If you sign your name Mrs. Van Helsing, copy and paste this into your signature. (Heh heh...my friend missmacavity made this up for me...and it's pretty much true...)

Ninety percent of teens and preteens would have a heart attack if Miley Cyrus were on the roof of a ten-story building and threatening to jump. Copy and paste this into your profile if you're part of the ten percent that would be yelling "jump, bitch!".

Just In Case You Were Wondering...

See, here's the thing: Whenever I write a story, I'll come up with what the important characters look like, and I'll usually end up picking a model to represent them, especially if I put it on my Quizilla account, where I can actually put up pictures in stories. Well, seeing as my fanfic Night Warriors was originally on Quizilla, I picked models for my characters. So, in case you were wondering, here's a few character pictures:

Catherine Van Helsing: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/Aurorabelle92/SexyLook.jpg
Alexsei Dunkirk: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/Aurorabelle92/sleepy-hollow-promo-019.jpg
Gabrielle Valerious: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/Aurorabelle92/amy--lee233334442.jpg
Sirius de Autechane: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/Aurorabelle92/Lestat.jpg
Edward de Fore: http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee353/Krissi_D_2008/kane.jpg
Alana Tremarie: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/Aurorabelle92/AnetteOlzon.jpg
Nickelia Van Helsing: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/Aurorabelle92/anna-paquin-wallpaper.jpg
Now, of course, we all know what Van Helsing looks like, so no real need to post a link to his piccy, huh?

The End of The World

"March of Mephisto"-Kamelot (feat. Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir)

ASPIRAT PRIMO FORTUNA LABORI (The fortune is smiling at our first effort)
ME DUCE TUTUS ERIS (Let me lead you and you will be safe)
VOX POPULI VOX DEI (The voice of people, voice of God)
AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM... (For bigger glory of the God)
AD INFINITUM (To the infinity)

You know just who I am
Don't be so distant
Cause when you're lost
I am solely there to share your grief

Wailing for your sorrow
Is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

Now tell me all about your pain
Down to the detail
Don't say it's love
Your fragile heart feeds my contempt

Wailing for your sorrow
Is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

Chase the heathen call
We belong... you and I
Unison in all you deny

Wailing for your sorrow
Is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

I am the thorn in your side
That seeks accomplishment
Reminding the mortal of death
I am the spore of your pride
An angel heaven sent
The master of all
I am the urge of the flesh

Now, bring me that horizon...
