Distracting Myself...
I'm doing an icon meme as I have got to get these fic ideas out of my head. What happened? Well, salmon_pink pimped the community dark_fest over on her journal; turns out that community has some really interesting prompts up for grabs on it. I looked through the "any fandom" section just to see what was going and now I'm being stalked by ideas; my poor ideas file has gained four pages in the space of an hour.
It wouldn't be so bad if the ideas that have caught my imagination weren't the ones that are the really dark twisted divergent!AU ones that I both kind of really want to see whilst at the same time make me either want mindbleach for just thinking up the idea or hide crying in the corner at the thought of doing that to those particular characters.
1. Default:
by dried_frog_icon
Merry Go "The Sea is Waiting". I saw someone else using it and just fell in love with it; in a way I think it just fits my life so well nowdays.
2. Oldest:
by anastasiademi
Hirst from the original PSX Valkyrie Profile "Laughing at You". It's almost as old as my livejournal account.
3. Newest:
by anastasiademi
I realised yesterday that I lacked a One Piece genderswap icon and that I needed one... this wasn't quite what I was going for when I started making it, but I like it.
4. Saddest:
by caitlinicons
From Project Zero/Fatal Frame 2. I don't think I need to say much more than that... (the Ace "All That's Left Is Embers" icon is a very very close second)
5. Happiest:
by andyprue
Luffy "Freedom". Hey, who wouldn't be happy with that?
6. Angriest:
by anastasiademi
The one time Claire actually kicks ass in that movie - and it was an awesome moment (and then she gives the damn gun back. wtf?)
7. Cutest:
by anastasiademi
It's versions of my cats that I made in the cat maker that was going around this time last year. Shame they're not generally so cute in real life!
8. Sexiest:
by cabro_n
It's Ace. Enough Said.
9. Funniest:
by anastasiademi
Uh, I think it's just me that finds this one funny... otherwise, my Rolling Haro icon is the other icon that I have that is close to "funny".
10. Favourite relationship:
by anastasiademi
Not exactly a relationship icon, but it's the closest I have. Can definitely be read as one. Marco/Ace.
11. Favourite fandom:
by anastasiademi
Almost all my icons are fandom? But this is a Wild Arms series one, which still remains my favourite fandom even if the gap between it and One Piece for favourite is almost non-existant nowdays.
12. Most used:
by anastasiademi
Not used much now but it was my default icon for quite a while until a couple of months ago.
13. Other Favourites:
by anastasiademi
New Dominion Tank Police! Poor Al - he's probably hiding from Leona.
by anastasiademi w/ stolen gif.
It's Rolling Haro from Gundam 00. What's more to like?
by anastasiademi
It's Mikä when he was still a kitten chewing something (as usual) and looking cute whilst doing it.
14. Favourite I made:
by anastasiademi
Made this for last week's anime_abc. It's the favourite out of my icons for the moment (and it won Mod's Choice too, yay!).
15. Favourite at the Moment:
by anastasiademi
I need to use this one more. I wasn't certain about it when I made it, and then it grew on me...
16. Favourite Overall:
by dried_frog_icon
It's pretty and it has a good message. My other overall favourite would be my default icon that I've already posted.
17. How many icons do you have total?
46/53... for now.
18. Do your icons make a statement about you?
... That I like my Cats, Wild Arms, One Piece (especially Ace), that my icon making skills have gotten much better over the years due to my photography work, and I love text on icons - especially optimistic and travel/adventure quotes or lyrics.
21. What fandom do you have the most icons of?
One Piece
22. What 'ship do you have the most icons of?
Merry Go. Either Ace/Marco or perhaps Ace/Luffy. That's if you're really looking for it - none are particularly shippy.
23. How do you categorize your icons?
By fandom.
24. Are your icons made mostly by other users
Nope, they used to be, but mine are catching up since my recent icon making kick.
25. Do you make icons?
Yup.
26. Are they any good?
I think they're good, but there's room for improvement.
27. Animated icons are...
A pain to make, but endlessly entertaining.
28. In general I think icons...
...are half the fun of journalling sites.
