Icons! Let me show you them...
I know i know. Meme! I must be nuts. But sometimes, they're just fun. So i'm doing the icon meme thingy. poisontaster picked 'em out.
angstpuppy made me this icon, oh - ages and ages ago. She's one of my oldest friends on lj, and to be honest, i can't remember if this was a b-day thing or what... Anyway, i've never gotten over my childhood love of horses and Winter is my favorite season, so...snowy horses! One of only two animated icons i have. I've had this icon on my icon page since she gave it to me.
By inyourpants_. Like pretty much every SPN fan out there, this episode was pretty much 'Oh, Dean... from start to finish. But nothing hit harder than how Dean totally became a little boy with his mom. I love the utter adoration in his eyes, and how he pushed into her touch and just... He loves her so much, he misses her every day, and it just breaks your heart. Oh, Dean.
By incata_art. Except lj says that's not a real lj so...i wrote it down wrong. Gads. If anybody knows who it really is, please tell me! I have to admit, i have a bit of a kink when it comes to hands with rings. Particularly pretty hands. And this is a *very* pretty hand. I love the spread and crook of his fingers, i love how the ring is so wide and solid and yet has that little detail on it, and how it seems to fit rather loosely on his finger. I love the unsaturated color palette. In short, this icon is love. ETA: incanta_art! Thank you, Jewels!
By urdsama. the_dean_show is awesome for bringing us Chibi!Sam'n'Dean. And what's not to love? Tough-guy Dean, with his buzz-cut and t-shirts, rocking out in his Metallicar or saving little brother Sammy from the monsters. And Sammy! With is floppy hair and sweet little face...*pinches them*. In my head, they're watching something really gasp!worthy, like a Lifetime for Women Very Special Story or an ad for feminine hygiene.
By deadatadisco. Marla! Who doesn't love Marla? She's foul-mouthed and horny and broken and lonely and funny and freakin' *gorgeous*. She smokes at a lung cancer group and she steals jeans out of a laundromat and she loves Ed Norton's character! This icon is the perfect image of Marla-with-attitude. Also, let's face it, i've had a crush on Helena Bonham-Carter for years and years and years.
By me. Heh. This is the actor Robert Carlyle in his role as Ives - or Colqhoun - in the movie 'Ravenous'. I adore Robert Carlyle. I adore Ravenous. The long hair, the beard, the weird sort of Xian thing with the cross in *blood* on his forehead...*swoon*. Yeah, basically this is 'i crush on this guy'. Plus, it makes for a good 'we're all going to hell!' statement.
By _taylor Oookay. Jason Behr. :) He had a small role as Ford in a Buffy episode (Lie to Me). He had a much bigger role in 'Roswell', which i never watched. He's been in several very interesting/good/fun independent movies, like 'Happily Even After' and 'Shooting Livien'. And some big movies like 'The Grudge'. But that's not why i have this icon. I have this icon because i got involved at TSP *The Shag Pile* and picked him for the person i was 'role playing'. I wanted someone sort of unknown, who'd been on the Buffy or Angel show. And wow, he's gotten a *lot* prettier, imo. I like the scruff and the long hair *so* much more than the clean-cut. Anyway. I 'role played' him. I role played him a *lot* with David B., who sweptawaybayou wrote. And it was omg so much fun, and i totally fell in luff with Snow and even now, TSP behind me, Snow and i are still bestest buddies. And he's still freakin' gorgeous. So. JB icons make Snow and i giggle like schoolgirls, so it's all good. Also - i totally didn't notice it was animated until i'd had it a couple weeks.
Okay, so, there you go! If you wanna do this meme, ummm... Well, i don't know how many people might actually want to, but if you *really* want me to pick seven of your icons out, say so in comments. Otherwise, i'll assume you don't want to. And um - i'll prolly cut you all off at like two if a bunch of people ask 'cause...i'm sorta flaky like that. Sorry! Hope it was a fun post, anyway.
ETA2: I'm cuttin' you all off. My brain, she is so flighty, and three people is all i can handle. I know! I am a lamer! Sorry. But you all feel free to meme amongst yourselves.
