I was bored, so here's a meme snagged from
bellatemple.
RP ICON MEME.
PART ONE
First, let's list all of your active characters and their PBs.
1. Piper Halliwell (FH) :: Charmed ::
cookinggeek :: Holly Marie Combs
2. Summer Roberts (FH) :: The OC ::
snarkyprincess :: Rachel Bilson
3. Piper Halliwell (Milieux) :: Charmed ::
snarky_witch :: Holly Marie Combs
4. Angela Montenegro (Milieux) :: Bones ::
thingforchaos :: Michaela Conlin
5. Blair Waldorf (Milieux) :: Gossip Girl ::
bitch_enough :: Leighton Meester
Have some generic questions:
Who is your favorite PB and why? Holly. She is very expressive and her wtf faces are hilarious. Plus, she is pretty.
Do you have a least favorite PB? Not really, though it is harder to find icons for Angela. Of all my LJs, hers has the least amount of icons uploaded.
Is there anyone you don't use a PB for? Why? I use a PB for all my characters.
Who was the hardest to pick a PB for? I don't pick PBs. My characters usually already have one.
Who has your favorite icons? Piper, definitely. The Milieux one especially (because it has more than the FH one does). I have to say, though, I really like the Blair ones, too.
Who has the worst icons? Well, I only pick icons I like. So I don't think any have bad icons.
Do you decide to rp characters and then go PB hunting, or do you create characters based off a desire to use a certain PB? The character is always first and they usually already have a PB.
Have you ever changed a character's PB midway through playing them? Again, my characters already have PBs and none of them have ever changed. No recasts here.
Seriously though how annoying is it to have to do that? n/a
Do you make your own icons? I make a lot of my own, but I also like to use icons made by other people if they are pretty.
Have you ever had to Photoshop aspects of a character's look onto icons? I changed the eye color from blue to brown on the PB used for wee!Piper (though is was the same wee!Piper from a canon episode).
Do you like using popular PBs? I dunno. I guess?
If you know a PB is used by other people "around town", does it make you less likely to use them, even if they're perfect? Not really. If my character has the same PB as another it's because my character has that PB already established.
Have you ever felt territorial or protective over a PB? Not the PB so much as a character. I am territorial over Piper, I admit.
Are there any PBs you are seriously sick to death of seeing? No.
Is there anyone you'd love to PB but can't figure out a character for/just can't find the time to play anyone else/etc? Kate Winslet. I did use her for human!Pancakes, though.
Do you like having misc stock/text icons for your characters? I have a few OOC text icons and I will use some stock images if a plot requires it, but mostly I prefer the PB's face.
Do you pick out PBs and icons for NPC characters? Sometimes. Like human!Pancakes for example.
What about pets? I have a few icons of Pancakes in bunny form. I should probably have one for Kit.
PART TWO
And now we have some icon specific fields:
Go through all your characters. Pick out your favorite icon. List it. Explain why.
Character Journal:
cookinggeekWhy? Because she is so freaking adorable in that icon.
Character Journal:
snarkyprincessWhy? I just think this one is really pretty. The coloring, cropping, etc.
Character Journal:
snarky_witchWhy? The first one because seriously look at how amazing her hair is. I still feel that Piper had the best hair on tv and I still covet it. I love the look on her face in the second one. She's all "I see what you did there." Hee.
Character Journal:
thingforchaosWhy? It's so pretty! Again, the coloring and cropping is lovely.
Character Journal:
bitch_enoughWhy? I think this captures so many aspects of Blair, including being adorable, insecure, and smug.
PART THREE
Group interaction! Sit here and wait anxiously as your friends go through your character icons and pick out THEIR favorites and then link them and then ask you questions about them like “What emotion do you use this for?” “What possessed you to use this completely ridiculous still?” “What the actual fuck is that text icon supposed to be?” and so forth. Once this is done, force them to do this meme so that you can return the favor.
