time to say goodbye…

Lately, I’ve been thinking about this little blog and asking myself if it’s finally time to say goodbye. For almost 3 years now, LITG has been part of my life and, as for many of you, this fandom has kept me company during lockdown, helping me get through some difficult times while obsessing over some of our favourite characters. Along the way, I had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people and make new friends, and for that I will always be grateful. However, I haven’t given this space the love and attention it deserves in quite some time as my interests now lie elsewhere.

I didn't want to "go" without first saying goodbye and thanking everyone for interacting with @voile-de-lune. I will still continue to work on @themirroredhearts with the other fantastic writers who are part of it (if you haven't read it yet I highly recommend you do).

Au revoir for now, 

Nathalie

Mirrored Hearts ♡ Chapter Seventeen: Video Killed the Radio Star – Part II

“Why are you smiling like a Cheshire cat?“ asked Sammi, her eyebrows furrowed, as Allegra zipped up her dress. "Aren’t you worried?”

“Not at all, why should I be? That video couldn’t have come at a better time,” Allegra replied. 

There’s nothing like a summer romance. Or that’s what our Islanders thought when they signed up for Season 2 of Love Island. Mirrored Hearts follows an original cast consisting of: Este, Milly, Sky, Venus, and Zane, along with many other characters (new and old) in their search for love… or money. Will they survive the Villa or will they go home empty-handed?

Levi and Henrik: sims edition

These were also made around the same time as Lucas. I’ve been meaning to do all MH’s LIs and OCs but CAS always take so much time and sadly real life doesn’t allow to much of it to do fun stuff like this.

Lucas: sims edition

I had this sitting on my draft for too long, it was time to set it free 🤍

elle avait juste besoin

que quelqu’un

la regarde

de la façon

dont elle regardait le monde

- Hélène Delanoy

I commissioned this stunning piece of Lucas and Sky back in September and, needless to say, I’ve been obsessed ever since. The amazing and talented @javsarts has brought them to life, perfectly capturing their essence and adoration for each other. I’ll never get over how stunning this is.

I’ve been off tumblr for quite a bit and finding this message has truly brightened my day. Thank you so much Sofi and right back at you 💖

Mirrored Hearts ♡ Chapter Sixteen: Video Killed the Radio Star – Part I

From his hidden spot behind the bedroom door, he couldn't see what was on the video. He had managed to make out the voices of some of the boys in the main villa, though, and going by the girls' expressions, whatever they were looking at had crushed them.

Without even realising it, he had his hands clenched into a fist at the sound of Levi's voice. When the video ended, his heart constricted as Milly's shining eyes landed on him.

✨Introducing: Allegra✨

Full Name: Allegra De Laurentis

Age: 24 | Birth Date: 13 August 1994

Occupation: Cocktail Entrepreneur

From: Swansea, Wales

Reason for joining Love Island: “I don’t want to sound cocky, but I’m still a little stunned I wasn’t part of the OG cast, I mean… I would have made things way more interesting. As for why I’m here, well, love has a lot to do with it, of course, and now that I’ve seen so much I know I have the upper hand [grins]. I already have my eyes set on a very handsome guy and I can’t wait for him to fall at my feet.”

✨Introducing: Rohan✨

Full Name: Rohan Shah

Age: 23 | Birth Date: 6 November 1995

Occupation: Psychology Student

From: Wolverhampton, England

Reason for joining Love Island: “Who wouldn’t want to spend a summer surrounded by beautiful people? I’m usually one to throw himself headfirst into relationships, but after almost getting my ex’s name tattooed, I think it’s time to chill and enjoy the ride without too many expectations.”

✨Introducing: Arjun✨

Full Name: Arjun Kumar

Age: 24 | Birth Date: 21 July 1995

Occupation: Dog groomer and Influencer

From: Norwich, England

Reason for joining Love Island: “I was grooming Larry  — the cutest but feisty Pomeranian you’ll ever meet  — when his owner came up to me and said, “you’ve a TV face,” which, frankly, I tend to agree. I mean, look at me, I’m adorable! And I don’t spend hours taking care of my beard and mustache for nothing. Anyway, they handed me a flyer with all the information to apply for the show, saying it would be a fun and entertaining experience. I’m all about fun and entertainment so how could I pass on that?”

🌴Introducing: Winona🌴

Full Name: Winona Chukwu-Wright

Age: 24 | Birth Date: 7 April 1995

Occupation: Teaching Assistant at a Primary School

From: Ychydig Unman, Wales

Reason for joining Love Island: “I’m here for a load of reasons — to make friends, have some fun, maybe even find the right person. Obviously I have to be realistic, but it would be nice. I haven’t really dated much, there’s been a few boyfriends and girlfriends here and there, but I spent a lot of time studying or working so it never really got as serious as I would have wanted it to be. I think now’s the time for me to try all the things I didn’t get to back then. It’s scary and to be honest I’m really nervous, but I always say that it’s the trying that counts. Even if it doesn’t pan out, there’s so many native birds in Mallorca and I’ve been making a note of all the ones I see, so that in itself has been massive! Like the Eleanora’s Falcon, I saw a juvenile one as I was— Should I stop here? Okay, great!”

"We're made of star stuff"

In honour of Inès having entered the @themirroredhearts villa and my slow re-write of The Triumph of Time, here's an art piece I commissioned from our very own (and extremely talented) @nerdferatum 🤍

🌴Introducing: Inès🌴

Full Name: Inès Chevallereau 

Age: 24 | 2 October 1994 

From: Paris, lives in London

Occupation: Cosmology student

Why is she on love island: “Exhaustion from years of hard studies, combined with a desperate need for a break and cheap holiday. My best friend might also have had something to do with it, as I think she was a bit fed up with me and my seeming inability to date someone who don’t turn out to be an utter bâtard. Why Love Island? Maybe because here we all have to go through a background check already?" 

Mirrored Hearts ♡ Chapter Fifteen: The New Crowd - Part II

Gary watched as she made hungry eyes at one of the other boys, biting her lip. He shifted his gaze to Lucas who, surprisingly, looked straight back at him, the slightest bit of panic in his eyes. I guess that answers the question of who she has her eye on, Gary thought, mildly amused by the physiotherapist’s reaction.

✨Introducing: Mason✨

Full Name: Mason Jelani

Age: 24 | Birth Date: 3 January 1996

Occupation: Musician and Underwear Model

From: Romford, England

Reason for joining Love Island: “I was scouted during one of our concerts. I didn’t know much about the show at the time but I thought it was a good opportunity to… test my luck, so to speak. I’ve never been in love, surely I’ve dated plenty, but love [he scoffs and shakes his head] it was never part of the equation. Maybe this time will be different.”
