Ichimaru Gin from Bleach is a wonderfully snide sonuvabitch who doesn't always kill with a smile. Sometimes he just smiles, and that's even more frustrating, isn't it?
This icon is a really flippant allusion to the fact that I frequently just cut people and situations off once it's clear that no reasonable investiture of time and/or energy will bring a solution. If I'm in a long conflict-resolution thing and it turns out that it's going nowhere, and it has finally sunk into my skull that I'm wasting my time, this icon comes out and "bye bye."
"I'm the Gurren Brigade's Kamina-sama, whose name quiets crying children! My enemies never see my back!"
Sometimes you just feel cocky as shit, and those are the times when Kamina-sama is with you. Don't believe in the you who believes in me, or the me who believes in you. Believe in the you who believes in yourself.
Yay token duality icon. I like the creator/destroyer contrast that I feel with this one, with the one black wing and one white. A lot of people don't want to be both, and I think that's an error. Power, true power, lies in the ability to do either one at will.
I am an educated liberal elitist who gives a damn whether things are true, and thinks it's awesome to have expertise in something. This is my "fuck you and your anti-intellectualism" icon, but in a sort of tongue-in-cheek way that makes me feel less like I'm poking people in the eye. They probably still feel like I'm doing it, though, and y'know... I'm okay with that.
I think
e_mily picked this one because she made it. Well, fine, then! I liked it! I picked it, and have used it for a long time! Any time something makes me make a girly noise like, "aww," or "Ohhh!" or even just a silent ^___^ face, I will use this icon because it's cute and endearing but hey. It's bugs. That tempers the estrogen somehow, right?
This icon is both good for anything on the subject of sex (I mean, besides what gets posted at
weepingcock ), and anything about anonymity. There's some connection for me between how appealing this woman is, and the fact that she's hiding herself from whoever it is she's looking at. Is she attractive because she's lying? Is she lying because she's attractive? I guess I didn't think about these things a whole lot when I picked this icon, but when prompted this is what comes to mind.
