Icon fanku (tm meretrix)
madame_meretrix is a reliable source of fun and surrealism in my life. :)
Here's her modified icon meme/fan-ku thingy:
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four/five of your userpics.
2. Make a post 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.
*I'd like to change the rules a little bit, though. Here's an alternate to number 2: instead of talking about the icons, you can write a small thing inspired by them, like fan-ku or a drabble or even just one line, inspired by the images chosen. Only if you feel like it.
Being a princess
is always trouble. To think,
I once wished for it.
Sharp rocks ahead, but
he’s ridden the current for
years, he won’t turn back.
Nod to The Emperor's New Groove, there.
Prismed and shattered,
she is her own reflection
beyond any touch
(I refer you also to one of my earliest drabbles, Your Love Is Better Than Icecream.)
He practices, sometimes,
The look. Copies the memory
of muscles moving.
He’s never sure it’s
right - the mirror is silent -
but it gets him laid.
dangerous creature,
the albatross. it hovers.
never betray it.
I have a really tough, crazy-making week at work coming up. And a lot of writing to do. I sympathize if you're all too busy to pick up a meme, but if you need a bit of fun, I'll gladly pick some icons of yours! :)
