SteamPunk

I don't know if it is just me but it seems as though steampunk has gotten very popular recently. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE steampunk, always had, but until recently its been more of an under ground thing. I posted this video 1. because I love Panic at the Disco, (saw them live twice and were amazing both times!) and 2. because they are very steampunk in this video. For those of you who don't know what steam-punk is, here is a definition from WIKI:Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.[1] Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. If you would like to look further in to this genre, see the book Leviathan, as well as the girl in the steel corset, corsets & clockwork, and the band Abney Park. or you could just google it:P

Idea

Okay, here's the deal, I was listening to the song sung by the Queen of the Night from Mozart's opera the magic flute when an UBER cool idea came to me (for a story that is). A whole different world that has been made up by the imagination of humans. Let me explain. Take for example the Snow Queen, by Hans Christen Anderson, their are various different queens representing different seasons. Well in my world, since they were imagined and made real through his book, they are real in this world. The same with the Queen of the night. Any ways, I expanded on this idea a little more, as well as changed some things, and this is what I have (for characters):

Another world

Dark Court

Empress of the Night: Versper (star)- silky black hair, quiet patient and a good listener, DARK endless eyes.

Duchess of Dusk: Aislinn (dream/vision)- grey eyes, brown hair, obedient and willing, protective over empress. [lady in waiting to Empress]

Winter Queen: Eirwen (Snow white/lovely- Platinum blonde hair, very light blue eyes, pale porcelain skin, cold and harsh. [Daughter of Empress]

Autumn Princess: Enya (Flame)- Deep red shiny hair, deep green eyes, strong silent and capable. [Daughter of queen]

Light Court

Empress of Light: Aurina (golden lady)- Golden eyes and hair, kind and willing. Italian skin

Duchess of Dawn: Zarya (Dawn)- grey eyes brown hair, happier and more talkative. [lady in waiting to empress]

Summer Queen: Hefina (summer)- ocean blue eyes, honey brown (slightly blonde) hair, happy, golden. [Daughter of Empress]

Princess of Spring: Lavrne (Spring)- Strawberry blonde hair with hints of pink, hazel eyes with flecks of gold, generous but vicious with wronged. [daughter of Queen]
P.S. Both duchesses are twins to each other.

Ballet

Top two pictures are from Giselle, my all time favorite ballet. The last two are swan lake.

Florence

I don’t know if you have figured this out yet or not, but I LOVE Florence + the Machine. Not just Florence, and not because she is British with red hair (which is plenty of reason already!), but because she is a music genius. All of her songs invoke so much emotion when you listen to them. Every time I hear them I feel as if I have been transported to a whole new world. They are so inspiring, and beautiful. Not only does she have an amazing ear and sense for writing music, but uh have you heard that voice?!?!? The best thing since Sinead O'Connor & Björk. I realize that I am just going on and on about this band/person and you are probably wondering "What happened to imaginary thoughts?" Well the fact is that since I have started listening to her, that’s where they come from:)
