MEME: Icon Explanations

[teh_mods]

Tag your pup in, and other people will tag you choosing one (or more) of your icons asking for an explanation of it: Why did you choose it? What does it mean to you? What sorts of emotions do you think it expresses? When do you usually find yourself using it? Do you have any special memories associated with it? That sort of thing. Answers should be

I thought Cissie needed a good facepalm icon considering she's friends with Kon and Bart and while she loves them dearly, sometimes they make her head hurt. A lot.

That's Cable during his younger freedom fighting days. His canon exit point was long after all the people who's freedom he was fighting for was dead, which tells you exactly how good he was at being a freedom fighter.

It pops up occasionally for stuff like time loops or when he's talking about the past, but mostly it's there because I think that art style makes him look incredibly sexy. I never claimed to be particuarly deep.

No, that icon is ridiculously hot.

This happened because of the Midsummer party back in 2009. Ria awesomely and amazingly draw Lex and Anatoly at the party in their costume - the full version is here.

I adored it so much I had to icon it so it could be used for the actual party and it's sort of my go-to for dressing up gatherings and whatnot.

That one is fantastic but I don't think I've ever actually used it. It was a present from Dawn during Secret Santa, and I mostly kept because it cracks me up.

If I ever do a plot-line where Seifer gets turned into lego, though, I'm already ready. Can't argue with that. Plus it does still make me laugh.

In all honesty, I had the toughest time finding or making Xander icons I liked! So when I found a bunch, I just uploaded them. And while I don't use this one a lot, I do use it from time to time when I just need a general-ish icon.

Plus, the colors are pretty!
