Iconspam Redux: Star Wars, Harry Potter, LotR

[pen_and_umbra]

Iconspam time!

Star Wars is assorted characters from Thrawn to Obi-Wan, including five icons from the awesome Clone Wars cartoon series.

Harry Potter is mostly icons from the Illustrated Guide to the Capture and Upkeep of Potions Masters (Snape, Snape/Harry), with a couple of Snape-Karkaroff icons and a Hermione thrown in.

LotR is one insanity

Hello! *waves* I completely forgot to comment in your journal, but I'm the person that had the Thrawn/EU convo with you today over on JF. :)

[pen_and_umbra]

Heh -- nah. In fact, I can't remember why I settled on a different nic there. Ah well.

[pen_and_umbra]

Yes, am spleen. And hee, that truly is a bizarre coincidence! (Alas, Thrawn-stuff has so far been limited to, well, request drabbles, because Thrawn genfic keeps kicking my ass. Geniuses are hard to write when I'm not one. ;)

[pen_and_umbra]

It broke my brain to write it. Seriously. (Though I can see the case for Pellaeon having an unrequited crush on Thrawn -- he calls his hair shiny, for cryin' out loud. ;)

*snicker* fluids...

The genfic I'm writing is a Thrawn-and-Vader thing and it keeps kicking my ass. Seriously. Vader is hell.

[pen_and_umbra]

Oh yes, unrequited. And yes, I can totally see why he'd crush on Admiral Blue -- nothing is as uber-sexy as a brain the size of a planet. I think Thrawn thinks of Pellaeon like a very useful Swiss Army Knife: a clever tool, but still just a tool. Now, on the other hand, I can see his art appreciation developing, erm, erotic undertones. ;P

Are you writing from Vader's POV?

No, Thrawn POV, which is even harder, if possible. So convoluted. Not that Vader is easy... I often do Palpatine/Anakin with a Vader-y POV and his personality is hard to nail down. So straightforward and "rar I squish j00!" at times.

The prob with Pellaeon (and Niritz) is that using them takes all pre-RotJ stuff out of the picture, and I wanted to do something dealing primarily with Vader and Thrawn. I mean, why did Vader give the Noghri for Thrawn to use? Etc. So many questions. So that left them as POV characters only (or maybe the Emperor, if one stretches it a bit), because it's not like Hapless Underling #8 is going to be privy to their private talks. Woe.

...not that I'm not going to write that Pellaeon-crushes-on-Thrawn thing at some point. ;)

What's "Side Trip"? (My reading in the EU/fandom before the prequels has been very haphazard, alas; was out of the fandom for many, many years.)

He's so dreamy, I can't even look at him!

Tee hee! XD And then he glues holopictures of Thrawn onto his mirror and draws little holo-hearts around them, right?

[pen_and_umbra]

Ooh, I think I have Tales from the Empire in one of my to-be-read piles! I think. Or else it's packed away in the basement. I'll have to go look for it now... not that it was the fic plot, or that the EU doing anything really impedes me, seeing as how self-contradictory and humongous it is. :P

But he can't call up his friends and tell them, because his is a forbidden lovecrush.

Poor Pellaeon. *pets* Maybe he can call one of those teenager angst hotlines to spill his guts anonymously to a hapless volunteer (though with his luck, it'll be a Mon Calamari, who'll suggest wooing with gifts of fish). 1-800-BLUE-CRUSH. Yes.
