Meme from [livejournal.com profile] meganbmoore. Yes, I keep doing this meme, shud up.

DIRECTIONS:
* reply to this post with the word MEME and I will pick six of your icons.
* make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose.
* other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
* this will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.



Kozue and Anthy in Akio's red car of sex doom.
This is a moment I adore in Revolutionary Girl Utena, where Kozue, being the sexual predatory being that she is looks at Anthy and wonders "hey, I wonder what is that everyone is looking in this girl, maybe I could figure out this for myself" and you know. And Miki's - Kozue's twin who has a crush on Anthy, but whose crush is in a big part a projection of his feelings for Kozue, it's all very freudian - brain break when he sees that and it loses him that duel.
And it's hilarious.
And because I adore both those characters, I though the idea of both of them having sex would be extremely hot.
Therefore it's my femslash icon!


This is a quote from Joe Abercrombrie's series The First Law, and an icon I made myself.
This said by Ferro, my favourite character of this series, a slightly blood-thirsty, revenge bidden and violent woman, who is extremely awesome. And always has a lot of knives on her. And when asked why, answered thusly. ♥
It's my sarcastic icon, or my weapons loving icon, or my fictionnal action/violence/asskicking icon.


This is Milly from Code Geass, crossdressed for the high school crossdressing festival of her own making (she presides the local students bureau)
Milly is one of the minor yet awesome characters in Code Geass, she's just extremely, amusing and awesome. Very extraverted. And she looks hot dressing as swashbuckling guy. Not that she doesn't look hot otherwise, but she looks extra hot like this! Secret time : I have a kink for crossdressing girls.
Anyway this is my genderfuck icon, I love stories that explore the liminarities of gender, from gender roles reversal to characters who are asexued, bisexued, queer gendered etc. It's one of the thing I love seeing in SFF novels.


This is Zuko. He is very DRAMATIC. He takes himself and his issues very seriously and is a very intense young man. This is what makes him cute and hilarious. Later on he learns to relax and tiny bit and becomes hilarious in a dorkish way. But I love his sense of drama, like the time he called his old man out, in the middle of an eclipse, while his nation was attacked, while threatening father with his awesome two swords, and making a whole speech out of it. It is one of my favourite moment of Avatar :D
Anyway this is a fun icon to use to be self derisive about internets and my own sense of DRAMA! And when bsns starts getting srs.


Once upon a time, there was this man called Jaime, in this book called A Game of Throne by George RR Martin. Jaime was a handsome man, a brilliant knight, member of the elite Kingsguard, and one of the highest and wealthiest noble of Westeros. But Jaime had secrets. Jaime was having sex with his twin secret, who was also the queen of the kingdom, which made this not only incest, but also high treason of the very king he was sworn to guard. Ooops. And he got caught up in the act by this cute, eight years old boy. Double ooops. So Jaime sighed and, with loathing, said "the things I do for love" and pushed the 8 years old boy from a tower.
That's when I fell in love with this fantasy series. Because "things you do for love" = "defenestring young boys" is awesome. I love stories which explore the darker sides of love. ASOIAF in general is full of people doing bad, violent, ambiguous actions, and sometimes compassionate yet disloyal out of (romantic or not) feelings of love. Or claiming it's for that when it's a bit something.
And then there's Jaime. After said defenestration, I wouldn't think he would be anything but a villain, but he turned out to be an utterly awesome character whom I totally adore. I'm not used to adoring characters who attempt murdering 8 year old boys. No, really, I know I'm fond of anti heroes and darker characters but when they're very violent or murderous I feel kinda ashamed for it, usually.
Mind you, Jaime's not the only child killer I like in this series ^_^


Fakir from Princess Tutu with a mask. I'll have to admit I've no idea why Fakir has a mask on this picture, apart from being your usual jerk with a heart of gold and a few secrets or two, but it's a pretty picture, and I adore Fakir, so it works!
This is my icons for when talking about me, me, me, or issues about identities, how they're constructed, negotiated, presented to the outer world. I'm a person with issues about trusting people and I tend to be very reserved albeit in an outgoing and loud way. I tend to deal with that by being overly blunt and brash about things about myself (tact and me aren't good friends ^_^)... so I love this icon, the idea of masks, to talk about such things. The word for "Person" comes from a word, "Personna", which means "mask" afterall.

Ah, c'est donc le fameux "thrône de fer" ! Je savais que ce titre (en anglais) me disait quelque chose mais j'étais pas sûre ^_^;
Je le prendrai en anglais, juste pour me marrer au moment du "things I do for love" - j'aurai une pensée pour toi ! X-D
