american beauty / american psycho lyrics meme.

❝I just follow your scent.❞

❝All of your flaws are aligned with this mood of mine.❞

❝I didn't come for a fight but I will fight til the end.❞

❝I'm gonna get you to burst just like you were a bubble.❞

❝And I love the way you hurt me.❞

❝I breathe you in, but honey I don't know what you're doing to me.❞

❝But I'm no good, good at lip service except when they're yours, mi amore.❞

❝I think I fell in love again.❞

❝Maybe I just took too much cough medicine.❞

❝I'm the best worst thing that hasn't happened to you yet.❞

❝You take the full, full truth, then you pour some out.❞

❝And you can kill me, kill me or let God sort ‘em out.❞

❝I wish I dreamt in the shape of your mouth, but it's your thread count I really care about -- stay up 'til the lights go out.❞

❝And as we're drifting off to sleep all those dirty thoughts of me.❞

❝They were never yours to keep.❞

❝We’re the things that love destroys.❞

❝But you will remember me, remember me for centuries.❞

❝And just one mistake is all it will take.❞

❝-- no, it's nothing wrong with me.❞

❝The kids are all wrong, the story's all off.❞

❝The darkness that you felt I never meant for you to fix yourself.❞

❝Come on, come on and let me in.❞

❝And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name.❞

❝You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon.❞

❝We've been here forever.❞

❝We'll go down in history.❞

❝-- bad trip, I couldn’t get off.❞

❝Maybe I bit off more than I could chew.❞

❝I always fall from your window to the pitch black streets.❞

❝And in the end I’d do it all again.❞

❝I think you’re my best friend.❞

❝I’m not passive, but aggressive.❞

❝And it’s our time now if you want it to be.❞

❝I can move mountains, I can work a miracle.❞

❝She wants to dance like Uma Thurman.❞

❝Bury me till I confess.❞

❝And I can’t get you out of my head.❞

❝And I slept in last night’s clothes and tomorrow’s dreams.❞

❝They’re not quite what they seem.❞

❝I got those jet pack blues.❞

❝I’m the last one that you’ll ever remember.❞

❝And I’m trying to find my peace of mind.❞

❝The ringing in my ears gets violent.❞

❝Did you ever love her? Do you know?❞

❝-- or did you never want to be alone?❞

❝Don’t you remember how we used to split a drink?❞

❝I will always land on you like a sucker punch.❞

❝I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare.❞

❝If you knew, knew what the bluebirds sang at you, you would never sing along.❞

❝Now I’m just numb.❞

❝Don't mind me, I’m just a son of a gun.❞

❝I’m just a problem that doesn’t want to be solved.❞

❝I’m still afraid the battle’s gonna swallow me whole.❞

❝I feel like a photo that’s been over-exposed.❞

❝-- I don’t feel a thing for you.❞

❝You and I were fire.❞

❝It was the fourth of July.❞

❝I'll be as honest as you let me.❞

❝I miss your early morning company.❞

❝You are my favorite 'what if'.❞

❝Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of it.❞

❝But I guess you'll never know where the bridges I have burned never led back home.❞

❝Had my doubts, but I let them out.❞

❝And all my thoughts of you they could heat or cool the room.❞

❝And no, don't tell me you're crying.❞

❝Oh, honey, you don't have to lie.❞

❝I just got too lonely.❞

❝I wish I'd known how much you loved me.❞

❝I wish I cared enough to know.❞

❝I'm sorry every song's about you.❞

❝-- do you remember when we drove through the night and we danced to Rancid?❞

❝You were the song stuck in my head.❞

❝And I can’t, I can’t remember -- just how to forget.❞

❝You asked me how I’m doing like you know -- you know how much better off I am.❞

❝Every song I've ever loved played again and again and again.❞

❝They say we are what we are, but we don't have to be.❞

❝I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way.❞

❝I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams.❞

❝I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass.❞

❝I try to picture me without you but I can't.❞

❝'Cause we could be immortals.❞

❝Sometimes the only pay off for having any faith, is when it's tested again and again everyday.❞

❝I'm still comparing your past to my future.❞

❝It might be your wound but they're my sutures.❞

❝Live with me forever now, pull the blackout curtains down, just not for long.❞

❝There's a room in a hotel in New York City.❞

❝I don't want to remember it all, the promises I made if you just... hold on.❞

❝I just need enough of you to dull the pain.❞

❝I need a new partner in crime.❞

❝I wanna throw my hands in the air and scream.❞

❝And I can just die laughing on your spiral of shame.❞

❝Hit it, never quit it, I have been through the wreck.❞

❝We're stripped down to the skeletons again.❞

❝We're saints just swimming in our sins again.❞

like a url suggestion or something that can help you think of a good url, if you get what i mean??

i hope you don't mind my answering this one publicly.

when thinking of a good url for your character, be it a canon muse or an original character, these are some of the things i personally like to explore. we'll start with some basics pertaining to canon, or fandom if you will, muses:

are there aspects of their name available? full, middle, last, all three and so on. would miss, mrs, mister or mr work with your character's personality?

are there songs or song lyrics that would qualify for their favorite or a song you associate with them?

are there quotes or pieces of a quote that could be used as a url and suit the character you're writing -- it could be the character's own words, another's words about said character or a literary quote.

are they part of a specified origin, culture, religion or ethnicity that you could utilize in the url? be it geographical or language based.

are they a mythological or folklore figure and are there words, flowers, symbols and so on often associated with them that you could utilize?

as for original characters, much of the above can be utilized:

actually... you can essentially ask yourself about 90% of the above for this type of muse as well.

if they are less of a mythological or folklore figure such as a deity or god and more something such as a ghoul, witch, werewolf, vampire, etc? look up the lore from varying cultures and see what you can find. you may just luck out on a variant spelling or term.

if you're writing something more like a human? think of their personality, manner and such to see what adjectives and the like would suit them and fiddle around.

as for darker things like killers or whatever, or even characters that might be police / authorities / and so on? my best suggestion is to research and see if there are terms that might feel right be it within specified interests, elements of said jobs or related occupations.

i hope this is useful to you, or rather that this is what you're asking for? if not, i hope it's just useful to someone somewhere.

intro to color theory.

Alright, I was going to post this on beneficii or codekraft, but I’m too lazy to log out right this moment. So, I’m just going to post it here. This is going to be a little guide to Color Theory and how it can be applied to iconing, making edits and the color scheming of your themes in a way that makes it pretty while also keeping it’s readability.

A good site for much of this information including an HSL Color Wheel/Picker, color schemer and more is right here.

First off? We’re going to start off with the types of colors/coloring you can utilize when matching or using colors in general, these are the most important within the world of design. Also, I will be using the HSL Color Wheel/Picker as the base:

Complementary colors : by definition a complementary set of colors are two colors that are at the opposite ends of the color wheel — so blue would be a complementary color to orange as they are at the opposite ends of the wheel. A simpler way to remember this is that complementary colors are contrasted colors.

Monochromatic colors : these colors are defined as being different shades of the same color — basically the hue remains the same as lightness and or saturation are altered, either brightening or muting the hue.

Analogous colors : these colors, simply put, are colors that are right next to each other on the color wheel — like blue would blend into teal to get to green; thus blue, teal and green are all analogous colors.

Now, I imagine you’re wondering what HSL might mean as you’re most likely most familiar with the RGB ( Red Green Blue ), or possibly even the CMYK ( Cyan Magenta Yellow Key, where Key represents black ), color format — it means:

Hue : the base color, within the format it is number of the angle at which the base color lies on the color wheel.

Saturation : the purity of the hue, within the format it is essentially it’s richness of color — a pure color is 100% saturated while grays are unsaturated.

Lightness : the lightness or darkness of a hue, white is 100% lightness and black is 0% lightness.

The latter two aspects of the HSL Color Wheel operate as what determines the contrast or lack there of in a color — either brightening it/making it richer or dulling it/making it more muted as a tone. Remember all that is above is crucial to design as it can be a determining factor of the readability of your theme or even the discernability of your images and edits.

Here are a few tips to remember when picking colors for your icons, themes, edits, etc:

using a muted color ( a color lacking in saturation ) against a highly saturated color can prove to be hard to read no matter which way you flip it — for example don’t put a muted dark gray against a bright hot pink or even a rich red, purple or really any richer color; instead use a pale gray or even a white to ensure readability.

pastel colors are alright to use against a white background so long as their lightness ( or closeness to white ) is not so much that you can barely discern them from one another.

black backgrounds are fine with paler text colors, especially within icons and edits, but for a theme/website it can prove to be a little bit rough on one’s eyes.

there IS a difference in the way color is displayed on a PC versus a Mac in terms of contrast and lightness; an icon could seem perfectly contrasted on a PC and then be too dark on a Mac — not certain what causes this, but it can occur. so remember that not every coloring looks great on every system.

if you can’t read or discern it all that well yourself? don’t do it.

Remember you’re not the only one who sees your blog, yes it looks lovely at what you prefer or what you feel suits your blog — but if a person cannot read your blog and or content due to the color scheming of things? They may not follow or follow you back when you follow them. This of course differs person to person, situation to situation, etc and by no means am I saying you HAVE to keep color theory in mind when designing… I am simply saying is can prove beneficial.
