Meme: i explain 5 icons
.
I was prompted by Ultranosfic who selected five of my icons to explain.
I think I understand the request; if I didn't, let me know.
And if anyone would like me to ask them about five of their icons, just say "wolemi."
-- Jo Lupo of Eureka. IMHO, the best part of the show. But that's not the main reason why I use this or have kept it so long... It's the best "laughter" icon I've ever made or found.
-- Methos and Alexa of Highlander: the Series. This is where she asked him "Why would you want to spend time with me?" and he answered "Because the alternative is unthinkable." While they later became shippy, the scene itself and the dialogue remains very gen-friendly...literally: this is one of my main "I am your friend, and will never abandon you' icons.
(it's also where Methos shows his age by saying this: "I know she's dying, Joe, you are all dying. 20 years, six months, what's the difference?"
-- I made this icon myself, out of a photoshopped picture I found on the internet. Multiple possible meanings, including "somebody always has it worse than you" and "good luck and bad luck" and "hungry?". I also use it to give a laugh.
-- One of my favorite lines from the short-lived comedy tv series Traffic Light. It was spoken by actress Liza Lapira, who portrayed Agent Lee in NCIS and Ivy in Dollhouse. I had practically forgotten I had this one...I got it for moments of "you ARE kidding me, right?" disbelief.
(if memory serves, she said this after asking her character's husband "what do you like about me?" and his answer was...less than expected)
-- Godzilla and wife. Another icon I made from an online image I'm not sure if it was photoshopped or not. Used for instances of unlikely romance (such as between enemies), interesting fic pairings, or just an outcome that took me by surprise.
