Woohoo, meme time!
Icon meme time :D
1. Reply to this post with LEMON CREAM, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
This will create a never ending circle of icon glee!
Those are the one inkvoices wanted to know about:
This was made by the wonderful rareb from a picture of one of the amazing hollycomics. Go visit hollycomics because they were the first webcomic I followed and because I'm still laughing my ass off at them. Also, this looks exactly like the face I make when I think someone is trying to bullshit me or something really isn't going my way.
A picture from Flashpoint and a line from Eleanor Roosevelt (or at least it's always attributed to her) and this is like... it's... me. It's me every time something pisses me off and my first instinct is to think "don't pick that battle, it's not worth it". It's that line that makes me go "yes, it is. Calling someone on their isms and their bullshit is always worth it. Eleanor Roosevelt said it like it is and you adore Eleanor. So say your piece, dammit." It's my feminist soap box tag icon :D
Heh, Parker :D She is "twenty pounds of crazy in a five pound bag", als Eliot put it in the first episode of Leverage. I love Leverage and I adore Parker and Parker/Eliot and that line was what instantly got me into the ship. Also, it's very fitting for everything that is too crazy to respond to with any other icon.
Helena <3 I still haven't finished all of Warehouse 13's last season but when I'm done with Army Wives Season Five, Warehouse 13 is going to get all my attention. This pic is from an episode in which Artie charmingly tells H. G. Wells that she gets a "gold star" for knowing something and I had to laugh to hard at that. And it made me love Helena so much. This is the icon that I reserve for reviews and squeeing posts. If you receive a comment with this, you did something that I really, really liked :D
I'm a native Berliner and a history nut. This city is like Heaven and Hell for history geeks because there's so much of it and wow, there is so much of it. The four sectors (American, British, French and Russian) were what made this city into what it is today after WW II. We still celebrate "Freundschaftsfeste" ("friendship parties", which means big fairs with typical French, Russian, American and I think British food (I don't exactly remember if there's still a German-British Fair or not), rollercoaster rides, music, that kind of thing. The first "Deutsch-Amerikanisches Volksfest" (German-American Fair) we went to as a family after the Wall came down in the early 1990s at Tempelhof Airfield was the first time I ever met American soldiers and my mom still likes to say that I was absolutely fascinated by them :D) and keep history alive by celebrating anniversaries of the airlift with airlift vetereans for examle or, recently, Ronald Reagan telling Gorbachev to "tear down this wall".
The "You are leaving the American sector" sign became kind of a pop culture icon in the years after the wall came down and it was originally destined to be the icon reminding Americans most of all in fandom that they're not the only ones populating a fandom but I ended up using it for a myriad reasons and almost never the one it was intended for. I thing I just love to look at it and going "whee, look how important my city once was for world history" :D
Eh, I'm sorry. I always end up gushing my heart out when it's about Berlin, so this became longer than it was intended to. I sincerly hope you don't mind :)
