Icon meme from amewarashi and solesakuma

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick three 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 squee. Whoo!

amewarashi picked :


Rue's my second favorite character in Princess Tutu :) she's so pretty and angsty, which this icon underscores very well. I love the raven theme too, and I like the clever Poe ref of the icon, but also very fitting to the mood of Rue.


A quote from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, from the two delicious villains Croup & Vandemar. Honestly this one just cracks me up in that outrageous, just business, sir, non apologetic villainous way.


Azula is another great villain, and, unlike many villains, she's exquisitely good at plotting evil schemes. Quite the clever mindfucker, too. You gotta love that about her.

solesakuma picked :


Touya and Sakura have my favourite sibling dynamics of all of the siblings in Clamp. Perhaps at all, actually XD So cute. That's a great icon for that feeling of tender bickering you know :)


Takumi from Nana. I have a weird love for this character (given that he's quite the bastard. Then again, I do love me bastards). Just a nice funny icon for crack-related comments :)


That's the only icon of the lot I made myself, and I'm rather proud of how it turned out. Corto Maltese from one of the greatest European comic book series there is. He's a pirate, sorta, but really gentilhomme de fortune rather fits him well as a description.

(all icons taken from my JF account)

You know, looking at all the icons over at JF... I really don't want to give LJ any money anymore, but damnit, I am sick of having only 6 icons ;_;

OOOOOOOOH, that is a fabulous Azula icon, I must say.

(psst... it's 'villain', by the way)

And, uh, meme me please

*corrects villainous typo*

[hamsterwoman]

Ooh, Neverwhere icon! And Miles icon (over on your JF account)! Cool!

Also, meme me? :) (I adore icon memes to a ridiculous degree...)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I love Bujold quotes icon, I do ♥ (actually I adore all kinds of text icons)









(it's Monty Python Threes, okay)

[niamhotoole.livejournal.com]

CORTO!

*faints*

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Yeah, ♥ he's hot.

Me too. ._. So much so that I switched to a Plus account. My journal feels very dirty now that it's covered in ads, but I have 15 icons, so.

*commenting for the meme!*

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

hahaha. Yeah, I think i'll pay for a paid account before I start getting ads, though... but I totally empathize

[solesakuma]

So it was Takumi? I knew it has to be a Nana character but...

[sakanagi.livejournal.com]

I don't want to try the meme myself this time, but I must say, I really like some of those icons you've got there. That Rue one's by sleepdebtfairy if I remember correctly (she does such good icons), and it's so pretty! And of course it wins for the 'nevermore'. And that Azula icon is the best one I've seen. It really shows off her personality. ♥ Avatar would be a much weaker series without her. I can't take Ozai half as seriously as a villain.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

yeap.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D I do like chosing good icons ^^

I got the Rue icon from the sorceresses comm (I never save icons from that account by their individual creators...)
but you're probably right.

Azula definitly makes Avatar shine! I do love Ozai too, though. Because he's such a horrible father XD and because the first fic I wrote for this fandom was about him I guess XD but Azula pwns.

[littledust.livejournal.com]

Azula pwns. The end. *and comments for the meme* :D

[darksumomo.livejournal.com]

Meme me, and you may include my jf icons as well.

Ads? Never got to see one in firefox.


I still paid through the nose just to get 100 avatars though .................

[luminaire.livejournal.com]

I use firefox too and still see them. *shrugs* Ah well, I knew what I was getting into with a Plus account.

[niamhotoole.livejournal.com]

You just need the adblock plus extension :)

[luminaire.livejournal.com]

Ah! I knew that existed, just...forgot about it. XD *will get that*

[sakanagi.livejournal.com]

♥ Azula's the sort of character who'd make a truly excellent evil lieutenant, except that she's too good at it. I wonder if Ozai is worried!

Ozai seems fine so far in Avatar, filling the role that's needed, but as a character he hasn't had a huge amount of time spent on him, so I'll have to wait and see how his characterisation pans out. Not that I'm worried about that, since the Avatar writers are hot stuff. But I read your fanfic about him a while back (good fanfic, BTW!), and I thought it made him sound a lot more interesting.
