I am *always* ready to talk about icons

[snick_backup]

1. Reply to this post with "Icons, Plz!" and I
will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

Icons below selected by penny_lane_42, who startled me somewhat by titling her comment, "THE PORN ONE! THE PORN ONE!" If you are me, that is not an email title that you expect in your inbox.



By indulging_breck, who did a terribly nifty set of BtVS episode icons, five per episode, with and without text. I love the colors on this one. I use it for Spike in early S4 and also whenever I want to express general "Ugh, blah," feelings. Because nothing says "Ugh, blah" like being chained alone in someone else's bathtub.


The only icon in my entire hoard that doesn't come directly from TV/movies. This is a quote from a BBC Sherlock fic by fialleril. Can't you just hear Benedict Cumberbatch's aggrieved tone? It is singularly useful for talking about porn and my feelings thereabout.


Is it not so pretty? Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite Disney animated, and the stained-glass sequence at the beginning is particularly gorgeous for icon purposes - I think I have five. Mostly useful for talking about Disney cartoons with gryfndor_godess, who shares my enthusiasm. :)


This Ruby (1.0) from Supernatural, and the text is indeed an actual quote. So okay, Ruby's talking about French fries with references to cocaine, but I use it talk about real crack. You know, the kind with wings and pregnant men.


This icon particularly useful for talking about the Angst O' Dean, or sometimes the Angst O' Winchesters. The text is from "Carry On, My Wayward Son," which is one of the show's running themes, the awful irony being that the boys are never really done and never get that promised peace. And the occasions when they get a breather, like Dean pictured in the icon, are never for happy reasons. OH DEAN.

Icons, Plz!

I love the Ruby icon.

[snickfic]

The Ruby icon: SO USEFUL.

[silverusagi]

And the occasions when they get a breather, like Dean pictured in the icon

Because being beaten up by Satan and watching your brother fall into Hell is a breather for Dean Winchester.

[snickfic]

Well. Then he gets a year off, is really what I meant.

[silverusagi]

Also, Icons Plz!

[snickfic]

Icons! You, uh, may notice certain themes among the icons I've chosen. *g* And I want you to know it was very difficult to pick.

Icons, plz.

[snickfic]

Icons!

Summers girls by [Unknown site tag] Love how they are all smiling - unaware of the sorrows of the future.


Read with Belle by silverstrand Belle with books is a favorite scene in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. She has a mind of her own.


I Named All the Stars by watchmaker Drusilla seems as logical as she can get explaining what she just did. I like the cropping and the almost sane look here.


Dawn and Spike in Afterlife by skinnieminnie So good together but bittersweet because they never again were close. Like the almost spotlight on their faces.


I Hate Adults by teragramm A cute Dawn in all her irritating teenage angst.

[snickfic]

Ooh, very nifty! I do like Belle so very much - she's my favorite Disney heroine, I think.

I would do this, but I don't know how to put the icons anyplace but the "insert icon here" slot. I actually have a visual art background. Why is it such a struggle to make it work on the interwebs?

[snickfic]

You mean you're not sure how to put an image in your post? You can do that like so:

<img src="http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/94487253/15332606" />

That code inserts your default userpic, like so:


Just replace the http address with the address of any of your other icons. (To get the address, go to your icons page, right-click on an icon that you want, and then from the menu that appears, select "copy image location" or similar.)

Does that help? Shall I pick some icons for you to talk about?

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Ah, one of those crazy Windows "right click" thingies. I see. I suppose I knew they had addresses, I just never went looking for them before. See? I learned something!

I'm am tempted, but I'm not sure I can commit to a meme just now. I'm sort of meme averse, although this one is v. v. pretty!

[snickfic]

Yay learning. :) Drop back in later if you want me to pick some. It is indeed a v. v. pretty meme.

Why do you think I did it? :D Well, that and it just makes me incredibly happy whenever I see that icon.

Because nothing says "Ugh, blah" like being chained alone in someone else's bathtub.

You know, I have never thought about it quite like that...but I think that you are very right.

You know, the kind with wings and pregnant men.

I would say that that's the BEST KIND, but I really, really love fries....

Well now you made me all angsty and sentimental!

[snickfic]

Why do you think I did it?

Well, and then I saw the message was from you, so I knew it must be all right somehow. *g*

Well now you made me all angsty and sentimental!

You asked for it! There's a reason it's marked as my "Dean angst" icon. :P And now it occurs to me that you haven't even seen the S5 finale, which is where the icon comes from.

icons, maybe?

[rranne.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna try this, but don't blame me if it doesn't work.
My html sucks.

Here's some icons I made over the past few weeks:



















If that worked and you like, I have 8 more.

Re: icons, maybe?

[snickfic]

Oh, hey! Icons! You should make a post on your own journal, so everyone can see them. I notice you have a definite preference for the vampires. I and my Dru icon approve. :)
