Heaven

I just watched the second half of Kingdom of Heaven again today, and it was still an amazing experience. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I’m even more in love with Balian. The acting was beautiful and touching. I could feel his shock when Sibylla declared that she didn’t really give a damn about what she did as long as she had power. I know I’ve already written that scene in ‘With You, I’ll Be Only Sibylla’, but I’m wondering whether I should write a very short piece from Balian’s point of view at that moment in time. For all the stories which I’ve written about him, I’ve never written his perspective in first person before. I’m a little afraid of the first person perspective, because it doesn’t sound like the character, but it sounds like me talking. It’s also rather limited. However, considering this is Balian, and he’s been my muse ever since I started airing my work, I’m willing to give it a try.

I also managed to skip out that very emotional scene when Sibylla takes off her brother’s mask and sees his ravaged face. How did I manage to skip it? Probably I was too busy thinking about Balian and the creosote bush. Maybe I should do a oneshot of that as well, just to fill in the gaps. Actually, there are lots of things that I could write if I want to elaborate on Sir Ridley’s masterpiece. Too many ideas; too little time.
