so here's mine.



(sorry for the crappy paint copy. that's all i've got at work.)



I made this one myself; it's from my favorite shot of Ozymandias. It's also one of my favorite parts of the movie, plot-wise. At this point, he's fairly idealistic in his belief that he and a little band of masks can save the world, and is pulled up short when he realizes, begrudgingly, that the Comedian is right -- it's human nature to seek to destroy ourselves, and there's nothing he can do about it. One of the reasons I love the Ozymandias character is his duality -- he's done this terrible, terrible thing, but *he* thinks it's for all the right reasons. And it's Matthew, for God's sake.

Seriously, why have I not seen Watchmen? WHY?

Thank you! I'm pretty proud of it. What can I say -- Watchmen, especially Ozymandias, inspires me. :p

Seriously, why have I not seen Watchmen? WHY?

I saw it four times, and would see it a few more if it was still playing in theatres. Alas, I think we will have to wait until it comes out on DVD July 21.

BUT I'M NOT COUNTING THE DAYS OR ANYTHING. 42 DAYS, 12 HOURS, 8 MINUTES

Admittedly, I originally went to see it with my hubby because he's such a fan of the graphic novel. I had not expected to love it so much, or to be introduced to Matthew Goode and fall hopelessly in lust with his fierce bitch self.

Damn. I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN RIGHT NOW.

:is not above looking for a skeevy copy to download:

I've seen this before, and I'm really impressed that it's yours. Love the colors you've chosen, and the Adrian.



The wicked causing self doubt in the rightious.

Oh thank you! I'm really proud of the way it turned out.

Guh, the sexual tension in that gif is killing me.

Heh, I know. I really must write more of them. Soonish.

I love that out of all the Ozy/Commie userpics out there, you and I chose the same one. It's from that film comanion we've got. Love the caption above it:

YES YOU REALLY MUST. =D

I love my film companion. I seriously carry it back and forth to work with me. I'm such a dweeb.

I LOL'D muchly at that caption! I'd like to explore *that* pursuit myself. Dayum.

Man, had Comedian just been a little more open to Ozy's advances, so much could've been avoided. Underneath it all, Watchmen is a story about unrequited love. :p
