Very nice - I'm always glad to see someone else who likes Bela. :) I feel rather outnumbered sometimes.

I honestly don't understand the blind OMGafemalcharacter hatred that has swept the fandom this year. It's odd. I think it just reflects how hard females are on each other and LJ is a mostly female audience. One of my friends pointed out that men actually do the same thing when it comes to male characters. It is odd, though, that recurring characters last season, like Meg, didn't get the same hate. *shrugs*

Anyway, I think Bela is cool and that's the beauty of fandom - everyone can have an opinion. :) [/ramble]

Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Well personally and I'm certainly not meaning any offense to those that like Bela, it could just be because people honestly don't like the character and/or the actress and don't see the point of her. I don't think it's just a situation where girls are harder on girls or something because all the guys I know don't like her either and would rather a character like her not be on this show. *shrug*

You're more than welcome to your opinions, feel free to leave them less anonymously if you're comfortable. I'm not about to run over and flame you and your opinion is perfectly valid. *hugs* :)

I was simply surprised this year at the sheer hatred aimed at the female characters. A lot of it was even there before they hit the screens, which was just... weird. I can see how Bela might come across as superficial and therefore get on people's nerves. She's not a character that would ever be a regular, but I personally think she works well as a comedic relief and plays well off the boys. :)

Really cute, Lizzie. I love Bela. "Pantene" is another story, but I love Bela. Truthfully, I don't get the whole OMGafemalecharacter hate, because out of all the chicks on the show, I've only disliked Cassie, Pantene, and the chick from Hookman and all of them because the actresses annoyed me as a presence on screen; not because the character sucked. Girls are such bitches, though, and fandom makes it ten times worse, no? lol

Thanks, Jen! :)

Yeah, well Ruby as a character is actually pretty awesome, and she's made to be hated, so while I prob would have chosen an older (more sexy like Meg) actress, maybe there was a deliberate move on Kripke's part to have her naturally get on our nerves. hee! Hell, I dunno. Man, I'm hanging out for more SPN.

(And, now, since I'm sitting in my office on a Sunday evening, I shall try to get back to work... *sigh*)

I adore Bela, I think she is such a kick ass character. Manipulative, bitchy, cunning, intelligent,sneaky, conniving, beautiful..she truely is amazing. I just love her to death. I love the vid and the song is perfect, feeling nogalistic were we? :D

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


She's made of all that and she even has hints of a dark/tragic back story, what with having killed someone in her family. *love*

nogalistic? Is that like nostalgic, because yes... this song makes me happy just because I used to love it when it came out. So catchy!

Thank you! :)

From: [identity profile] miss-faith-hope.livejournal.com


This is very true,I would really like Kripke to dig into more of Bela's back story/history because I'm rather curious about her plus I adore her of course as well.

Ah nostalgic thats what I meant, lol. Excuse my horrid spelling my dear.

Welcome :)

You cut the music, right? Cause I really can't tell!!

And nice vid, suits her very well! And nice use of all those cropping tools!

And nice Bella icon too!

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Yeah, the original song is 3:36min. I cut out at least one whole verse! *puffs proudly* Thank you! :D

The icon is from a Red Sky Rising icon post by [livejournal.com profile] keyweegirlie.

Okay, so I haven't seen a Supernatural episode past Season 1 (stupid TV stations here, doesn't seem like they intend to show Season 2 anytime soon) -

BUT...I loved this vid and I think Bela's a very interesting, as well a very gorgeous character :). Loved your work with the zooming, it worked really well!

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


OMG! Where are you in the world that you don't have Supernatural S2 and 3? Even Australia, with our 5 whole TV channels has it.

Thanks for commenting. Bela's a fun character and without her we wouldn't have Sam and Dean wearing tuxedos. Zooming is fun! :)

Just across the ditch, little ol' New Zealand. Yeah, I'm pretty fed up - think I might just buy the DVD sets off Amazon or something, the suspense is killing me!

Oh, I can't wait 2 see her in action with the boys!

From: [identity profile] rei17.livejournal.com


Thank you so much for making it!
It´s awesome! *___*

I really don´t get why people hate Bela so much. She´s so funny and smart and sexy, she screws up, she apologizes, yes she has some flaws - but in a very human, very interesting way.
I´m a Dean/Sam-girl all the way and I adore her nevertheless. *sighs*

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Thank you so much for commenting! I really had fun making this one. :)

Yeah, there's been an out-poring of hate for Bela, which I don't entirely get. I find her really interesting, but some of my friends just find her irritating. Each to their own I guess. lol.

From: [identity profile] rei17.livejournal.com


I agree with you there ...
It bugs me sometimes, though. I understand if some people think she´s annoying (because yes, she is) but she doesn´t deserve so much blatant hate. óò
Anyway - thank you so much for sharing that vid. ^_^
