Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] rosehiptea and [livejournal.com profile] meganbmoore

Go to my userpics and then pick:

1. Your favorite.
2. Your least favorite.
3. One that makes you automatically think of me.
4. One that you think I should TOTALLY use more often.
5. One that you don't get/needs more explanation/you have no idea why the hell I have it.

I'm at work and shouldn't be LJing, so I'm just giving you keywords:

1. drunk, Iroh. Heh. ♥
2. Well that's not nice.
3. geeks are sexy. And horses too since you use it a lot.
4. azula. I don't think I've ever seen it actually.
5. honour!
ext_2023: (azula)

[identity profile] etrangere.livejournal.com 2008-08-26 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
the azula one is a new one, and the horse's my current default icon so yeah :)

Honour is a reference to the Ember Island players episode. It's jut the number of meta jokes about Zuko's obession for honour, culminating with his play-self dying while crying "HONOOOOR!" as in the icon. I think it's hilarious ^^

1. ma préférée : je suis plus sensible aux textes qu'aux images, aussi j'aurais tendance à choisir "I laugh at gravity all the time". Même si la fangirl en moi essaie de me distraire en me faisant remarquer "kyaaaa, Seishirô/Subaru !"
2. Celle que j'aime le moins : Je ne vois pas, vraiment... peut-être "singing in the rain", mais par défaut.
3. "point and laugh", et aussi "books x me otp"
4. Celle avec Xelloss, parce que je ne savais même pas, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, que tu connaissais et aimais le perso !
5. Elle vient de quel fandom "To betray / you must first love" ? Ou alors : comment as-tu choisi ton icône par défaut ?

[identity profile] luminaire.livejournal.com 2008-08-26 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh fine. :P Probably "world in my hand" then.

hihi, j'ai uploadé plusieurs icons Slayers au moment du début de Slayers Revolution. J'adore la série (et Xelloss!!) mais je suis pas très fanish à son sujet.

"to betray / you must first love" vient de la série Battlestar Galactica, les personnages sont Gaius Baltar et Gaeta, ils ont une relation très intéressante avec un gros subtext de one sided crush de la part de Gaeta.

Mon icon par défaut doit répondre à ces critères :
1/ visuellement jolie, car on la voie beaucoup
2/ neutre, souvent sans texte, parce qu'on sait jamais à quels types de comment ou de post elle va s'appliquer à un moment ou à une autre.
3/ qui s'applique au thème de mon lj du moment. Pour une fois ça joue plus sur le coté symbolique (des chevaux pour les paroles de la chanson de Tori Amos "horses") que visuel. Et puis j'adore les chevaux, donc ça me correspond aussi.
Voilà!

Aaah, I knew I should have known what it was. And yes, it's hysterical. XD
ext_2023: (wtf)

[identity profile] etrangere.livejournal.com 2008-08-26 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
what! WHY? *is liek totally angry*

[identity profile] luminaire.livejournal.com 2008-08-26 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
ALKDJFKS *kills*

Though I awwed at "the things I do for love" icon below it. It probably refers to something else, but it's totally a Courage the Cowardly Dog reference for me.
ext_2023: (lol)

[identity profile] etrangere.livejournal.com 2008-08-26 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not know Courage the Cowardly Dog. The reference it is to is definitely not "awww" material XD. You really need to read the Song of Ice and Fire books someday ^^

[identity profile] luminaire.livejournal.com 2008-08-26 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I figured you didn't and that it had to refer to something else. ^^ I'll add those books to my "get on this soon" list.

1. Toph. Future generations will use 'Toph' as the short version of 'awesome'.
2. The incest one. Very funny when I first heard the phrase 15-odd years ago, less so now. Although being an ASoIaF fan means being exposed to it far more than other people :-)
3. Yeah, the geeks are sexy one. One of those that makes you immediately know who it is who's posted.
4. Why yes I am made of awesome. Amusing.
5. Well, it was "HONOOOOOOR!" one but now it's the creepy anthy one. Huh?

This reminds me I need more avatars. And shouldn't be so corny as to put myself in them. Ahem :-)
ext_2023: (creepy anthy)

[identity profile] etrangere.livejournal.com 2008-08-26 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
the creepy anthy icon is from Revolutionary Girl Utena. It makes much more sense when you know the context of the series. Basically Anthy is your average, if quite oddball at times, Damsel in Distress although she's a very... submissive one, never complaining as she's used as the trophy of a weird game between the students of the student council, and calling the people who won her "Master". But as the series go on you realise there's more to Anthy than that. She can be very manipulative and even creepy in a way. There's a point when another character tells her she finds her scary and Anthy just smiles sweetly and says thank you. That's one of my favourite moment for the character. And Anthy's my favourite character of that show.
The picture in the icon is from another such creepy moment. The use of the Svary Shiny Glasses trope (see TV tropes for more information) informs her creepiness quite efficiently.
