Hunt Challenge: Favourites
Who is your all time favourite character? It can be anyone, or anything (whose to say the brave Ford Anglia or faithful Hedwig can't be favourites?).
But here's the trick, you have to show, somehow, why that someone or something is your favourite. So, for example, if you like Harry because he's brave you have to show his braveness on the icon. Or if you choose Aragog because you love spiders you can write something in your icon like "spiders are love" or "eight-legged = cool"...
Better stop before I begin to ramble. I'm not sure if this particular challenge was clear enough. Feel free to ask anything you didn't understand about it!
Rules of the Hunt Challenge:
* You may use any picture you find, but it must be a scene/character from the Harry Potter movies.
* Please do NOT use images provided on this post for your hunt icons. Go find YOUR OWN images!
* Blending, Text, and Animation are allowed.
Text Challenge: It Ends Tonight by The All-American Rejects
Your subtleties
They strangle me
I can’t explain myself at all.
And all the wants
And all the needs
All I don’t want to need at all.
The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it’s best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.
When darkness turns to light,
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
A falling star
Least I fall alone.
I can’t explain what you can’t explain.
You're finding things that you didn’t know
I look at you with such disdain
The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it’s best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won't make this right
It’s too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Now I’m on my own side
It’s better than being on your side
It’s my fault when you're blind
It's better that I see it through your eyes
All these thoughts locked inside
Now you’re the first to know
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won't make this right
It’s too late to fight
It ends tonight.
