Memeage.
First of all, a link to Prop 8 - The Musical. :)
Then the icon meme (always knew I'd give in sooner or later...)
-Reply to this post 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.
skybound2 chose these 6:
One of my favourite Jack/Ianto icons that I had kathyh make for me especially! (Snaggable, of course!) It is, as I am sure you all know, from The Stopwatch Scene, which STILL fills me with joy and glee - who knew that a show like Torchwood, so often heavy-handed and clumsy (esp in S1) could contain such lovely subtlety? Aaaanyway, the text comes from The Captain’s Blog, and accomplished the impossible feat of making the whole thing even better:
Other Staff issues: Ianto and I stayed back to go over the case files and reorganise the safe. Internal security cameras were temporarily shut down to run diagnostic tests, so there was no monitoring of the Hub for approximately four hours - but there were no security breaches to report. Everything went very smoothly.
Upcoming issues: Need to requisition a new stopwatch. Old one damaged while moving a desk.
It NEEDED to be turned into an icon. (Captain’s Blog is made of awesome, and *not* - as one might think - written by a flailing fangirl, but by James Moran, the guy who, amongst other things, wrote ‘Sleeper’... )
My Twilight icon (made by nutshell @ journalfen). Saw it and immediately had to snag it, since it so *perfectly* encapsulates everything I want to say about the books: An adamant ‘do not want’, coupled with a ‘Buffy would PWN the Cullens’. Also it is hilarious, given Giles & Buffy’s expressions.
Oh Puppet!Spike (from ‘Spike: Shadow Puppets’. Icon made by gillo). The Brian Lynch/Franco Urru Spike comics make me squee like few other fannish things, and Spike-as-a-puppet especially is too adorable and cool for words!
The Master! (by renestarko) This icon was another case of ‘seeing is *needing*’. The Master is my all-time favourite villain on any show EVER and he was (partly) responsible for toppling me into head-over-heels obsession with Doctor Who. (Doctor/Master hits almost *all* my shippy buttons.) (And no, not in THAT way.) Anyway, I love this icon for the smile, the text, and the gorgeousness of the icon itself.
My first ship (the one to rule them all...) The words are of course a reference to Oppenheimer’s “I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds” after ‘Trinity’ - a test of an implosion-design plutonium bomb. It was made by frimfram after a kerfuffle some years ago, when some anti-Spuffy person claimed that the pairing had RUINED TV FOREVER! Us Spuffies are very proud of that.
And finally my baby toes icon. It was made for me by fer1213 when The Cherub was born, and I have cherished it ever since. :)
Finally, in case someone missed it, I posted chapter 8 of My Immortal the other day. (The next chapter might take a little longer, what with Christmas and such.)
ETA: Review of Twilight (the movie), in the Guardian. Not positive. A snippet: If only Meyer had taken Buffy as her template. If only she had used that groundbreaking series as her foundation and built on it. If only there was a Whedonesque intelligence and modern, feminist sensibility informing Twilight and its successors. If only.
