Name: Taylor Schilling (as Nurse Veronica Callahan in Mercy)
Occupation: Actress
Age: 27
Height: 5'8"

SAMPLES:

1. 2. 3.

Notes: Mercy was one of those shows networks tried to fill the ER gap with. I really enjoyed it, but it was just different enough from ER and Grey's that it didn't catch on. That, and NBC kind of sucks at maintaining new shows. Taylor Schilling is awesome as Veronica, and I think it's a shame that no one else seems to have iconned her yet, as the other major ladies of the show have been. So I'm fixing that problem. These are from caps by twixted at LJ.

( Well, we do try to stop the doctors from killing you. )

City of the Straits just opened for application this week. It's an original game based around the idea of magic's awakening. In this setting, two factions--mages and witchfinders--are at war with one another against the backdrop of modern urban Detroit.

So you might see a few icon sets inspired by the game's PBs over the coming weeks (like this one). If the idea intrigues you, feel free to check it out!

That said...

Name: Nicole Beharie
Occupation: Actress
Age: 25
Notes: She was awesome in American Violet, which is where these caps are from.



( I understand the seriousness of this whole situation. I understand the seriousness of people being incarcerated. I understand the seriousness of people's lives being changed forever and affected. I understand the seriousness of not being able to sleep good at night 'cause you worried about somebody coming to your house and harming you or your family members. I understand a lot. And I know my life will never be the same. )
