haha i have so much fun coloring ed's hair. it's legit the part i love the most. all that shining shimmering splendid lmfao

and don't they? first time i heard the song i was like "welp, adding this to my royed playlist."

[lavaliere]

i hadn't actually heard that song before but i guess it fits? most of my playlists are focused on more Conqueror of Shamballa stuffs because i tend to lean towards that series haha. and because i love me some angst. some of my other songs include:

What Have You Done Now by Within Temptation
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
The Perfect Ending by Straylight Run
Glycerine by Bush
Rooftops by Lostprophets
Hum Hallelujah by Fall Out Boy
A Slow Descent by Straylight Run
Dizzy Jimmy Eat World
The Letter by Acceptance
In the Cold by Acceptance
Burnin' For You cover by Shiny Toy Guns (org. Blue Oyster Cult)

Wonderfully well done!

Did you do this icon of mine as well? I always wondered where it originated from.

[lavaliere]
