orangerful: (what what she do)
I showed the Expanse background I made for my phone to my Mom and she liked it but asked why Bobby wasn't there. The answer is because there don't seem to be any decent full cast photos of this show! But I wanted to make a background for my Mom too, so this is what she got for her iPhone 8 Plus:



Got some lovely comments on IMGUR too LOL. Was not expecting that but I uploaded it to the gallery for giggles and I guess all the Expanse fans are cruising the hashtags or something. Never even thought of that site as a place for social interaction.

Spent the evening making a new background for my new phone. Of course it has to be The Expanse!



This is just my home screen, not sure what I want to put on my lock screen. Maybe just a nice image of the Roci. Though I wish there was a good hi-res shot of Bobby and Avasarala I could use. I love the Roci crew, but there are lots of awesome character elsewhere in the 'verse too!

I found a site that has all the iPhone measurements too so I am going to make something for my Mom's phone since she tweeted at me that "if she knew how" she would have The Expanse on her phone.

But now it is bedtime for sure!

I made icons for MonthlyInspo! Part of my new year's to-do list was to get back into some kind of creative activity and I really missed making graphics. So here is my first try in a long time!

If anyone has any tips or tricks to share about GIMP, I would be VERY open to them! I am pretty much teaching myself by clicking around, searching the help and sighing heavily. :)

Another one of the great things about The Expanse moving to Prime is that the main titles won't have to be cut for length anymore. Rewatching the series now, I can see how many times they had to cut it down to make the show fit in it's 45 minute timeslot. And I just love everything about this opening - the beautiful time-lapse images of our galaxy, the haunting melody, the percussive beat behind it all...


The Expanse – Opening Titles Season 3 from BREEDER on Vimeo.



FYI, season 3 will be up on Prime on February 8th and I *think* this is internationally, so if you have Amazon Prime, you should be able to watch the entire series streaming then. No excuses, mark your calendar because you'll want to binge it. But give yourself time between episodes to think about what happens.

I'm really enjoying my rewatch because I'm pacing myself (I'm watching while riding my exercise bike, so 20 minute sessions) and it gives me more time to reflect on characters and what not. We watched it all pretty fast the first time because we just wanted to know what was happening. This rewatch reminds me of when I watched Lord of the Rings for the second time - it's like "Hey, I know their names now!" LOL.

I'm so freakin' ready for 2019. I kinda want to rewatch the whole series again. I will never cancel my Prime as long as they keep this show going.

Also, it is so funny to see these guys smiling because they did not have a lot to smile about last season.

This show is quickly moving up my list to become one of my top shows.

I just finished the first book Leviathan Awakes last night and it was so weird reading just from Holden's and Miller's point of views. It was a different experience from the show because I didn't feel like you got to know all the characters as well since you only saw them as Holden or Miller. It was still good though. Amos was still a badass, Naomi was...also a badass. And Alex was Alex LOL. You just don't get any of the Earth storyline, which the apparently took from the second book and put into the series since they happen simultaneously.

I'm not sure if I could have read the book without watching the show first? It's hard to separate them right now because I feel like Season 1 followed the first book really closely. I liked the writing style, I mean, I can't tell you the last time I read a 500+ page book. And I read this in a little less than a month. Or maybe exactly a month as I took it with me to Wisconsin and that was the first week of July. I went ahead and ordered the second book from the library, but we will see when I get time to read it since I've got a few other titles on my desk right now that I want to get through first.
