Ugh, so gorgeous as always!

Seriously, I love your use of light, shadows, and composition.

I so thoroughly and completely ADORE #40 (why hello, new default) and I so totally love #44 and #45.

Thank you!!!

Every time I make Shoshanna icons I think of you!! Which is obviously a lot since I make them for, like, every post. But she's one of my favorite people to icon, so it just keeps happening!!

You're so very welcome!

Omg I'm nearly at a loss for words! ;-; ♥ Shosanna (followed closely by Fredrick) is my favorite, so I hold the opinion that she can't be icon'd enough. To sound a bit selfish, I hope you continue to as the end result is always so stunning!

I have no intention of stopping, don't worry!! :D :D

[suspiriorum]

Good! ♥ ♥ ♥

And if you wanted to include Fredrick I wouldn't object.

I should definitely make more Frederick icons! I'll be sure to include some in the next batch :) In fact, I should really include more IB characters in general - I have like a billion caps and I always mean to make lots of everyone (I really want some Bridget icons!) but then I get lazy :(

[suspiriorum]

YES YOU SHOULD And Shosanna/Fredrick. I'm full of demands because I'm terrible. Disregard me.

I need more Bridget in my life, too. SO MUCH MORE.

but then I get lazy :(

I get that way, too. Mostly when I should be writing. I know when I should be working on that, but then I think of how much easier it is to do something else entirely different.

Oh my god, I hear you on the writing, too! I'm a writer (both personally and professionally - I'm a journalist) and I'm the WORST with procrastination/laziness. I'm that person who hands things in for deadline at the last possible second. Never late, but never really early, either :\ :\ It's why I can't subject myself to things like nanowrimo - slap a deadline on writing and I'm like "NOPE." (hahaha my job loves me)

[suspiriorum]

You are? That's fantastic! Writing is just a very serious hobby for me right now, but yes, definitely, deadlines are just a pain for me. I even attempt self-imposed ones, just to see, but I end up frustrated instead. I suppose I hate the idea of forcing something? Once I start to feel like it's a chore to write, I have to back away from it (I've never been one of those write-through-your-creative-block people, either). For now, I'm aiming for a general time-frame in which to get it done, rather than setting a concrete deadline.

[tunaeverynight]

I think deadlines can be stifling if they're not automated from some sort of powers that be (publishers, teachers, etc). I'm of the total belief that writing (at least of the fictional variety) is best when it's organic and accomplish withed free wits - when you slap a limitation on it, it only leads to disappointment or guilt, which are two words I try to never associate with writing of my own.

Not that I'm some sort of authority! It's just my personal feeling, and the one I try to tell other writers: don't let deadlines or rules hold you back! I think that general time frame idea is the smartest way to do it.

[suspiriorum]

Oh, absolutely, I agree! I've done well with research papers and deadlines, but for fiction, I find deadlines extremely stifling. I've found that when I just let myself write and allow the words to come as they will, it all comes together as it should. When I have put restrictions and deadlines on myself, I just end up severely disappointed.

Yes! For now, my only undoing is my own anxiety.
